Is It Worth Renting a Cruise America? 🇺🇸

We're Cruising America! 🇺🇸 We rented a 25-foot cruise america to explore the Pacific Northwest. In this video, we give you a tour of the vehicle, including details about the Ford E350 truck. We cover both the inside and outside and finish up with our overall experience with the RV company. Hopefully, the video helps you decide if renting a Cruise America is right for you!

Highlights include: exterior, generator, garage, interior, propane tank, fresh water, gray water, black water, AC unit, heating unit, separate shoes and toilet, storage space, interior sleeping spaces

Thank you for this video. Something that others have suggested to me is after you hook up the sewage line to run the gray water for a few seconds first. This will give you the opportunity to see if there are any leaks before running the black water out of your holding tank. Then, after you finish emptying the black tank, finish emptying the gray tank. This adds an extra step, but I would rather have gray water spill out instead of black.

The first motor home my wife and I bought was a refurbished Cruise America 28A. It was solid. Being our first time in a motor home, it was a great learning experience. We had a 28 ft travel trailer and now we are back to a 30 ft. Winnebago Outlook 31c. Seems we enjoy the class C’s more. Great video. Looking forward to seeing more.

We went to Utah and saw a lot of these. As well as ones from El Monte.

I rented a 30’ Cruise America. The longer one gives you a much better rear bedroom. It was a little run down. Total cost: $300/day.

I purchased one like this but a 30 foot and it only has a 40 gallon water tank. You better check again!

Answer: Nope. Do not rent with Cruise America. The contract they make you sign up front is a full “happiness” contract meaning you will have absolutely zero recourse when their horrible shoddy RV breaks down on you mid/trip as it did us. Our fault for not reading the fine print.

The RV we picked up was filthy. It was the day before we had to drive from Michigan to Florida for my daughter’s wedding so I just rolled up my sleeves and cleaned it.

We got to Atlanta and it simply broke down. They directed us a place to pick up another. Our ONLY option was a spider infested bust less filthy version we took out of desperation.

Mid-way on that one we tried to use the bathroom and it began to spew water all over the floor upon flushing. Our plan was our family was going to sleep in the RV on the way to Florida. No can do without a toilet.

Cruise America said fix it when you get to Florida ON OUR DIME.

So of course we had to get hotel rooms.

Once we got to Florida they wanted me to drive that heap miles to a repair shop. IT WAS MY DAUGHTER’S WEDDING.

When we got back I wanted half my money back and when I tell you the obnoxious rude nasty way we were treated I can not begin to explain it. They gave us like a $100 discount. Thanks! And I will tell you, our experience was so harrowing our local newspaper did an article about our experience. They have no customer service, their vehicles are not maintained, the one that broke down had a squirrel’s nest in the engine, and they do not care about you the customer. Rent from private individuals. Never this company. Ever!

spend a little bit more money to their competitors, for younger, lower milage and much better quality RV's
