Below you will find a list of commonly asked questions about renting an RV (Motorhome or Towable Travel Trailer).  Additional details can be found in our General Rules, Safety Tips, and Travel Prep documents accessible when viewing the details of your quote/reservation.

• How old do I have to be to rent or drive an RV?
  • Any renter/driver of any RV type must be 25 years of age or older.
• What types of units are available to rent and what is the pricing?
  • We have Class C Motor Homes and Towable Travel Trailers. Pop-Up or Expandable units are currently not offered. Price depends on the unit and number of nights, with the best rate when renting 7 nights or more.
• How is insurance handled to cover the RV during my trip?
  • Personal auto insurance can sometimes provide the best coverage with the limits you are comfortable with and provide the protection you, as well as Kunes RV Rentals requires. Check with your insurance agent to find out if your personal policy or agent will provide full coverage (liability, comprehensive, collision) for the unit you are renting. If your personal insurance will cover you, Kunes RV Rentals can provide a binder request document that you can provide to your agent. Insurance must be in place prior to day of pick up. If unable to obtain coverage through your own provider, coverage may be purchased through Kunes RV Rentals’ reservation system.  Costs and coverages can be found on-line.
    • Roadside Assistance is also available for purchase.
• Is there a special driver’s license needed to drive an RV?
  • A current valid driver’s license is needed to drive or pull any of our units, motorhome or towable.  Kunes RV will run a driver’s license check on each driver to verify that all drivers are valid with no extensive adverse driving record.  Kunes RV reserves the right to refuse to rent to anyone that does not have a valid driver's license or has an extensive driving record.
• Is it easy to drive a Motor Home?
  • Class C Motorhomes handle like a large SUV or a truck.  A test drive is offered for all motorhomes and towables at pick-up so that you may see how the unit handles.  You may take the test drive, or decline the test drive and have one of our agents give you some driving tips.
• Is there a minimum rental period?
  • There is a 3 Night minimum for all units and a 4 Night minimum may apply to some HOLIDAY weekends. EAA requires an 11 Night minimum. 
• What do I need to make a rental reservation?
  • Making a rental reservation is simple to do. The easiest and quickest way is to make your reservation online.  If you need assistance, you can contact our office. You will need the following things to complete your reservation:
    • Be at least 25 years old.
    • Determine how many people will need to be accom-modated in sleep space and/or seats. (Seatbelts for MotorHome only).
      Have your departure and return dates.
    • Estimated miles you will travel round trip (Mileage for MotorHome only).
      Your VISA, Mastercard, AMEX or Discover card
    • Valid driver’s license
      Reservation deposit of $500 to secure an RV for your trip.
• How and when do I pay for my Rental?
  • Payments using a Credit or Debit Card are processed online and are required for the Security Deposit.
  • A $500 Reservation Deposit is processed at the time of booking.
  • 14 days prior to departure the remaining Balance of Rental Fee is collected, including estimated mileage for Motorhomes.
  • 1 Day prior to Departure the Security Deposit Hold is authorized. ($1,500 for Motorhomes & $1,000 for Towable). This does not charge the card and will not show on your statement, but it does place a hold on the funds preventing you from using that amount.
• Are there any other charges I may incur?
  • The State of Wisconsin assesses 5% Sales Tax and a 5% rental tax on RV rentals.  You will have to pay for extra mileage if you go over the estimated mileage originally paid for when renting a Motor Home. Fees will be added for fuel if not returned full, tanks not dumped, smoking is detected, violation of pet addendum, unit not cleaned, damages, and late returns.  Other fees may include motorhome Tolls and any optional equipment you decide to rent or purchase, such as hitch rental, tanks dumped, etc. A Security Deposit “HOLD” is for these circumstances and is typically released within 1 week after the rental has been returned, provided all charges for the rental have been paid for.
• What is supplied with my rental?
  • We supply 3 rolls of RV safe toilet paper, 3 chemical drop-ins (enough for 3 Black Tank dumps), water hose, sewer hose, wheel levelers, wheel chocks, 30 Amp electrical cord and a 15 Amp adapter. You will need to bring items such as pillows, linens and cookware.  See our Travel Prep List for more valuable information.
• Can I park my vehicle at your rental site while I travel? 
  • Yes, at no cost and with a signed parking permit.
• What hitch/towing equipment do I need for towing a trailer?
  • Class III (3) Hitch Receiver , 7 wire Round plug in working order, and an Electronic Brake Control System (EBS) in your tow vehicle. 2 5/16” Ball, If you do not have these on your vehicle you can call our service department for prices and schedule an appointment prior to departure date. We do have a limited supply of Wireless Brake Controllers for rent as well.
• Load Your Camper Properly
  • When towing a trailer, you should always load 60% of the cargo weight in the front of the camper, closest to the hitch. When you load the weight in the rear of the camper, sway is more likely to occur. No matter what type of trailer you’re pulling, evenly distribute the weight from side to side and load most of it in the front of the trailer.
• Can You Backup a Camper with Sway Bars?
  • It is possible to exceed the limitations of the sway control hitch if backing and turning too sharply. This will damage the sway hitch. Straight lines and gentle curves in reverse work best. You should disconnect your sway control bars if backing into a tight campsite.Can Hitches, Ball and Stabilizer (Sway) Bars be rented?
    • Yes, you must have the Class III receiver already installed on your vehicle. Please “Add on” Anti-Sway/Weight Distribution to your reservation.
• Is there a charge for MILEAGE?
  • Motor Homes have a .31 cent per mile charge in addition to the nightly rate. Towable units have no mileage charge.
• What AMPS do I need for electrical hookups?
  • All of our motor homes and trailers utilize 30 AMP connections. In the event you need to connect to 110v/15AMP (regular household outlet) an adapter is provided, and when connected in this manner, everything will have power EXCEPT the overhead air conditioner and microwave.
• What do I need to run the Air Conditioning?
  • Kunes RV units require 30 AMP connection to use certain features, including Air Conditioning and Microwave. Motor Homes come equipped with generators and can operate these if no electricity is available. Towables do not come with generators.
• Do you charge for use of the motorhome’s onboard generator?
  • Yes, past the 2 hours free per night that are included.
  • We have generators for sale but do not rent generators for Towables.
  • GENERATOR CAUTION – many campgrounds restrict generator use due to noise.  If it is allowed, there may be limited hours/times it can be used.   Verify generator rules with your camping destination.
• If I rent or buy a GENERATOR what type of generator should I get?
  • A minimum of 3500 watt generator is needed to provide power to your RV for lights, AC, microwave, outlets, and more. 
    Make sure you have the proper adaptor or receptacle compatible with a 30 amp RV plug.
• How long will my BATTERY last if I don’t have electricity or a generator?
  • Basic camping with a battery will only provide minimal time and severely limited usage of amenities. *Trailer with slide-out not advised with Basic
• What are the REFRIGERATORS powered by?
  • Motorhomes: Electric-AC/Generator, or LP Gas
  • Trailers: Electric-AC/Generator and either DC12v Battery or LP Gas

• Can we TOW anything behind a Motor Home? 
  No, towing is not allowed.  There are locks on the receivers and renters will be charged if these are removed. Insurance will not cover towing.
• What is the GAS MILEAGE on Motor Homes?
  • You can expect 8 to 10 miles per gallon.  Consumption depends on your speed, terrain, winds, weight and driving habits.

  • Motorhomes do not have spare tires and would require a call for service or to Roadside Assistance, if added to your reservation.
    Towables have a spare tire included. Lug nut size is 3/4". If not comfortable changing a tire Roadside Assistance is an available option.
  • If using personal insurance check if you have roadside assistance and if it applies to your rented RV.
• Should I bring along any TOOLS?
  • It’s a good idea to bring some miscellaneous tools. A cordless drill with a 3/4” socket makes extending and retracting trailer stabilizer jacks much easier and quicker.
