Want to know how to rent an RV in Colorado?
We are big fans of Outdoorsy RV Rentals.
Last summer, my husband and I spent 4 nights and 5 days hiking, SUP paddling, and hitting up hot springs all around Steamboat Springs — sans kids.
The best part? We snatched up this Colorado campervan rental from Outdoorsy and slept somewhere new each night. It was glorious and romantic.
This summer, we booked an RV rental delivered to us in Eagle Nest, New Mexico.
The RV was all set up for and ready to go upon our arrival — we didn’t have to tow it anywhere. When our six days were up, the RV owner came and hauled it away and cleaned it up for his next rental.
After we break down how to rent an RV, we will also show you all the best locations for where to rent an RV in Colorado.
We loved the stationary Queen memory foam bed in this Outdoorsy camper van rental.
Now, whenever we plan an outdoorsy adventure trip, we always consider renting an RV in Colorado, or wherever we’re going.
