Why choose us over those other rental sites?, The answer is simple… if you want your rental RV without a worry then we are your #1 choice. We have over ten years servicing the Okanagan /Shuswap area, that says alot. You would not believe how many times we have received calls from people asking if we can delivery them a rental RV right now, because the one that they were supposed to receive NEVER made it, and they are sitting at their campsite with no other option than to drive 6 hours home. We are in business as a business, not a weekend cash grab to pay off our one and only RV. As a client you should ask whom ever you talk to these very important questions:
- How many rental units do you have.? What happens if the AC or Fridge stops working?
- What happens if the delivery truck breaks down? Do you have any extra delivery trucks?
- How many staff do you have? What if you are hurt or get sick or if someone in your family does? who will delivery my rental RV?
If you get a reply similar to ” Don’t worry I haven’t missed a day of work in 100 years!” RUN run fast!
Unfortunately these weekend worriors give our entire industry a bad name, now I also understand that this may or may not happen…. but do you really want to risk a no show six hours from home?
Our company employs 15 staff members from May to October, we have eight delivery trucks and If an RV malfunctions we have an RV Tech on site who is mobile in case you have problems at your site! Peace of mind is what you are looking for and a reputable company is where you find it.

does have some sections with nasty pot holes so just reduce your speed. We towed in a 20 foot holiday trailer for our little getaway and it was no problem. To get to Noisy you would head east out of Enderby across the Shuswap River, oh ya… coming from Alberta turn left on main street in Enderby and right coming from Vernon. The drive took us about an hour and forty five minutes through some very beautiful country, so it didn’t really feel like an hour plus. There is no signage but I can tell you that the entrance road is at 21K and that the secret to finding it is stay right on the well-traveled road. Don’t take any road that looks a little weedy! Although it is a bit of a jaunt it is well worth it. We arrived at about 2 pm and to our amazement there was not one other person there, yes it is mid-October, but it is still warm…imagine a campsite totally empty. It was a dream come true!!! So we parked our little trailer next to the beach, well first we decided to do a little drive through to scope out the ideal spot, then we setup camp, started a fire and then went for an explore. We first walked the rocky beach around the corner to where Noisy creek emptied into Mabel lake and then back tracked as there was no way to cross without getting soaked…LOL. We decided to take the walking trail through the trees which was more like a carpet than a forest floor, a kids paradise for riding bikes and playing war. I miss those days, anyway in the middle of this greenery is a foot bridge that crosses Noisy and to our surprise we find salmon spawning right under foot, what an amazing dance of wild nature preformed right before our eyes. There was not a lot of Salmon but the few that were there did provide us with an amazing insight to their short but important life cycle. So once we pried ourselves away from the Salmon we continued our adventure of the campsite and more of the amenities such as a concrete boat launch, roped off swimming area and a nature hiking trail that takes approx. 45 minutes, which we decided we would not explore due to the spawning Salmon and our lack of bear spray. Ya that expedition can wait till next time!
all of which may not be very noticeable and don’t expect the owner to be forthcoming. Then what about the gas appliances. Have they been certified at all? How about the wheel bearings or the brakes?
Now let’s take a look at it this way, if you pay cash you now have taken a large sum of money from your savings and plunked it down on this awesome weekend getaway, losing potential interest and not to mention your $20,000 toy is now on a steady decline in value. Most dealers try and put you on the never, never, pay plan to keep those payments really low. This means by the time you want to trade up or sell you still owe more than it is worth. You now think the only thing you have to do is buy insurance, which will be approximately $300-$600 per year? Now you need to outfit the RV with all the amenities, plates, pots and pans and so forth which will run you $500 – $1000. Okay you are ready to hit the road, right? Not so fast! What about the axe, sewer hose, water hose, folding chairs, ground mat, and the list goes on. Ok after everything is in place and your new holiday trailer is fully equipped including the new hitch system and your brake controller that you need installed in your truck, and hopefully the dealer or the person you bought it from has informed you that your truck is capable of towing your shiny new toy, you are finally ready to go camping. I think you get the picture, it’s not as cheap as you might think and I haven’t even talked about yearly maintenance and storage which can run you thousands as well. One other part most people don’t think about is the time it takes to get your RV ready to go, this can take a full day depending on your needs.
with all the amenities you need for your camping trip, all you bring is your food, bevies,bath linens and bedding. We also suggest clothing as well…lol. This means you don’t have the hassle or stress of loading and towing your RV over mountains or thru heavy traffic, you don’t have to worry about whether you can maneuver the unit into the campsite or set it up, which can be pretty taxing on your mental psyche, not to mention your significant other! And really, all you want to do is grab that bevy and relax.
