El Monte RV Class C Medium (D) 24-26ft Reviews

Verified

Great facilities, everything working. Little dust inside the cabinets, but it didn't disturb the experience.

Verified

The RV ran good but they still needed things fixed before renting out to people like the refrigerator door not closing. It was only a year old but people before us did a number on it.

Technically a good RV. Interior had some issues: missing window lock, another window lock fell off, bathroom doors kept swinging open. Magnets bended so some doors didn't fully lock anymore. We were told that these are all well known issues but hard to fix permanently.

We rented a vehicle from Seattle and whilst we did not have any mechanical issues, we did have some problems with the RV, specifically around routine maintenance that caused us some disruption to our trip. Specifically, we had issue with the black (sewerage) valve leaking which meant a few messy cleanups and us not being able to use the toilet fully (which is supposed to be the point of a RV). We also had issues with the generator, specifically the exhaust falling off whilst driving and this meant we could not use the generator for half our trip. There was also an issue with the shower plumbing pipes coming loose and water leaking. Overall we feel these were basic maintenance issues that should not be causing issues, especially give renting is not cheap. For this reason we have rated relatively poorly. The issues we experienced did cause us some disruption to our trip, which was unfortunate. The rental process and drop off process was ok, but a bit cumbersome and beware that nothing is for free. Every little extra is charged, even down to pickup and drop-off times. It’s worth just being prepared for this.

Thanks for your service.

It was ok

I was told I could change the location, but that was a lie. They wanted to charge me $5,000 to return it to a different place after I had already left. They told me, even with 6 days' notice, that they couldn't do it. I was scammed. Be careful when hiring them.

I recently rented an RV from Salt Lake City and drove to Yellowstone National Park, so I wanted to share my experience for anyone considering a similar trip. The initial quote was somewhat misleading because it only reflected the base RV rental price. At pickup, there were many additional costs for liability insurance, protection packages, return convenience options, kitchen kits, linen kits, and other add-ons. Once everything was included, the total cost increased significantly from the original quote. I purchased liability insurance, the VIP Plus package, and the Gold package because I wanted a worry-free rental experience. Unfortunately, that was not the case. During the trip, we had a flat tire. I was told that, based on the damage pattern, it was not considered a manufacturing defect and was instead attributed to my driving, so I was responsible for the tire replacement cost. After paying for multiple higher-level protection packages, I was very disappointed to learn that an issue like this was still not covered. We also experienced problems with the slide-out. Small items can easily fall into the corner near the slide-out rail, jam the mechanism, and prevent the slide from moving in or out properly. When this happened, it took a significant amount of time and effort to get it working again. Dealing with this in the middle of a road trip added a lot of unnecessary stress. Overall, the RV experience involved far more unexpected costs, mechanical issues, and hassle than I anticipated. While traveling by RV may appeal to some people, I personally would not recommend it if your goal is a convenient and stress-free vacation. Based on my experience, I would much rather rent a regular car and stay in hotels.

It was easy to drive and maneuver. Great visibility all around and easy to park with a rear view camera. The waste connection and valve handles are set too far back under the chassis, had to get down on my hands and knees to view and access them. No privacy curtain between cab and living area is an inconvenience! Had to use a blanket for privacy and light. Table and seat conversion into a bed was a little painful to do and undo everyday.
