How does delivery and setup work?
We handle everything. After you book, we deliver the RV to your campground or property in the Black Hills service area, set up all utilities (water, electric, sewer), and leave you ready to enjoy your vacation. You never have to tow or drive the RV yourself—just unlock the door and start your adventure.
What is your cancellation policy?
We offer a full refund if you cancel 14 or more days before your scheduled delivery. If you cancel 7–13 days before delivery, you’ll receive a 50% refund. Cancellations within 7 days of delivery are non-refundable. We recommend booking early, especially during peak season (May–October).
Do I need a special driver’s license to rent an RV?
No special license is required to rent a Class C Motorhome or Travel Trailer in South Dakota. However, you must possess a valid driver’s license and meet our age requirements (typically 25+). If you have questions about your specific situation, contact us directly.
Can I take the RV out of state?
Yes, you can take your rental beyond South Dakota. However, you must disclose your travel plans at booking, and additional fees or insurance may apply depending on your destination. Let us know your itinerary when you reserve.
How do I choose between a Class C Motorhome and a Travel Trailer?
Class C Motorhomes are self-contained and easier to drive, making them ideal for first-time RV renters who want flexibility. Travel Trailers require towing but offer spacious living areas and are great for groups or extended stays. Contact us to discuss which unit best fits your group size, comfort preferences, and trip length.
Are pets allowed in the rental?
Yes, we offer pet-friendly rentals. A pet fee applies and must be disclosed at the time of booking. Let us know the size and type of pet so we can ensure the right unit is reserved for you.
Can I use the generator, and who pays for fuel?
Yes, generators are permitted during standard operating hours, typically 7am–10pm. Generator fuel is your responsibility—you’ll need to refuel as needed during your stay. This keeps your RV comfortable during evening hours and in areas without hookups.
What comes with the RV rental?
Each rental includes a fully equipped kitchen, linens (bedding and towels), an awning, utilities hookup (water, electric, sewer), and delivery plus full setup by our team. The RV is ready to use the moment you arrive at your campsite.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 2–3 months in advance, especially for summer travel (June–August) and events like Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. However, we accept last-minute bookings subject to availability. The earlier you book, the better selection of units and rates you’ll have.
Is there a minimum age to rent an RV?
Yes, renters must typically be at least 25 years old and hold a valid driver’s license. If you’re younger and interested in renting, contact us to discuss your situation—we may be able to accommodate with additional requirements.
What happens if the RV is damaged during my rental?
A refundable security deposit is held at booking to cover potential damage. We also offer a damage protection plan that limits your liability for accidental wear and tear. Review the plan details at booking to decide what coverage works best for you.
Can I extend my rental if I want to stay longer?
Yes, extensions are subject to availability and must be requested at least 48 hours before your original return date. Contact us as soon as you know you’d like to extend—we’ll do our best to accommodate you, especially during off-peak season.
What is the minimum rental length?
The minimum rental is 3 nights. We offer weekly and monthly rates with discounts for longer stays, making extended Black Hills vacations more affordable than nightly rates.
What should I know about Black Hills weather for RV camping?
The Black Hills has a semi-arid continental climate with dramatic weather changes. The best RV season is May through October, when temperatures are mild and campgrounds fully operational. Summer (June–August) is warmest but also busiest. Always check forecasts and prepare for sudden temperature shifts, especially in spring and fall.
