With an RV, you can experience the freedom of the open road, explore new destinations, and create unforgettable memories with your loved ones. In this ultimate guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to plan your perfect RV summer vacation, from choosing the right rental to mapping out your route.
Finding the Perfect RV Rental for Your Family
At Nashville RV Rentals, we understand that every family has different needs when it comes to their ideal vacation. That’s why we offer a wide range of RVs to choose from, including travel trailers, pop-up campers, and luxury motorhomes. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting your rental:
- Size and sleeping capacity: Make sure to choose an RV that comfortably accommodates your family, including sleeping arrangements and living space.
- Amenities: Consider which amenities are essential for your trip, such as a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom facilities, or entertainment options.
- Budget: RV rental prices can vary greatly depending on the type of RV and rental duration. Consider your budget when selecting a vehicle and be sure to factor in additional expenses like fuel, campsite fees, and insurance.
- Ease of driving: If you’re new to RVing, you may prefer a smaller, more manageable vehicle like a Class C motorhome or travel van rental.
Planning Your Route and Destinations
Once you’ve chosen the perfect RV rental for your family, it’s time to plan your route and select your destinations. Here are some tips to help you create the ultimate summer RV itinerary:
- Research popular attractions and must-see sights in the areas you’ll be visiting. Some family favorites include national parks, historic landmarks, and amusement parks.
- Balance your schedule between driving days and rest days. Be sure to allocate enough time at each destination to fully explore and enjoy the area.
- Consider the driving distance and time between stops. To prevent fatigue and ensure a safe journey, avoid driving more than 4-6 hours per day.
- Research RV-friendly campgrounds and book your reservations in advance, particularly during peak travel season. Popular destinations can fill up quickly, so it’s essential to secure your spot early.
Preparing Your RV for the Road
Before embarking on your summer RV vacation, it’s essential to ensure your vehicle is road-ready. Here are some essential steps to prepare your rental:
- Familiarize yourself with the RV’s features, systems, and safety equipment. Nashville RV Rentals provides comprehensive orientation and walkthroughs for all our customers, so you’ll feel confident and prepared for your journey.
- Perform a thorough pre-trip inspection, including checking tire pressure, fluid levels, and ensuring all lights and signals are functioning properly.
- Pack your RV with essential supplies, such as kitchen utensils, bedding, toiletries, and a first-aid kit. Don’t forget to bring along your favorite games, books, and outdoor gear for a fun-filled vacation.
- Make a checklist of essential tasks to complete before hitting the road, such as securing cabinets and doors, retracting the awning, and disconnecting any power or water hookups.
Staying Safe and Comfortable on the Road
Your family’s safety and comfort are our top priorities at Nashville RV Rentals. Follow these tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey:
- Obey speed limits and traffic laws, and always drive cautiously, especially in unfamiliar areas or challenging road conditions.
- Take regular breaks to rest, stretch, and hydrate, particularly during long driving days.
- Be prepared for changing weather conditions and pack appropriate clothing and gear for various temperatures and climates.
- Keep a well-stocked first-aid kit on hand and familiarize yourself with basic first-aid procedures in case of emergencies.
- Practice good campground etiquette, such as keeping noise levels down, respecting quiet hours, and cleaning up after yourself.
Making the Most of Your RV Vacation
Your summer RV vacation is the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories and bond with your family. Here are some tips for making the most of your trip:
- Stay flexible and open to new experiences. Embrace spontaneity and be willing to adjust your plans if you discover a hidden gem or unexpected opportunity.
- Encourage family participation in planning and decision-making. Give everyone a voice in selecting destinations, activities, and daily schedules.
- Take advantage of the unique opportunities RV travel offers, such as campfire cookouts, stargazing, and exploring nature trails.
- Document your journey with photos, videos, and journal entries to preserve your memories for years to come.
- Consider incorporating educational experiences, such as visiting museums or historic sites, to make your trip both fun and enriching.

Customer Reviews


Special thanks to Beau for the great attention and help throughout our visit. Highly recommend!



The staff, specifically Bo, were ready on standby for any questions or hiccups we encountered with the RV during our trip, and his kindness extended thru to the exact moment we returned the RV. These people genuinely want you to have the best time you can in their vehicles. Highly recommended!


We give him 5+ stars!

Finance guy, Brian is a pleasure to work with. He cuts to the chase and doesn’t try to sell you more than you need!
Serviceman, Nate is simply the best!
Everyone else that we came into contact with during our visits to Nashville RV are super friendly!
Overall, great experience from start to finish…except the heat! 🙃
It has already been dog approved!
























Thank you, Tim & Sheri from Wyoming











Garrett was very thorough when explaining the ins and outs of the RV and how to make sure all fours tires stay in contact with roads.
Would definitely recommend going through Garrett if you are considering renting an RV.

He was patient and understanding while we fumbled through the process, but ultimately was a professional about the whole experience. Bottom line, I wanna party with this guy…. And rent my RV’s from him


We highly recommend Nashville RV, and plan to use them again in the future.

Everything about our experience with them was 5 star + and we highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to rent an RV. We will definitely rent from Nashville RV again.

Unit was clean, gassed up, tanks filled, ready to go. All required cords, hoses, etc were provided. Everything worked well and well maintained. Great rental experience. Thanks!

Sales Rep meets me on parking area. Calls a service representative from their other building. He begins to check it out. Another service rep joins him. Diagnose the problem. Gets us on the road. AND won't take a dime for jacking our right rear jack back up fully to the necessary place. Week retraction springs.
Highly recommend for their friendly fast knowledgeable service.

we pulled into this business, a service representative immediately came to our motorhome to find out our needs. Eventually there were three servicemen working to get us back on the road. EXTREMELY friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you. I would highly recommend Nashville RV in
Franklin.

The motor home was outfitted with everything we could have possibly needed. Easy to drive. Easy to set up. Highly recommended!
Garrett & Brad showed us everything we needed to know. Checking Out & Checking In took no time at all. The team had everything waiting for us with levels all topped off and full instructions on use. We had 24/7 access to a technician if needed. OUTSTANDING!!

Garrett and Brad were outstanding during the entire process from sharing options for rentals and prices, demonstrating the use of the vehicles, and following up on the overall experience.
My family and I were thrilled to make fun-filled memories using Nashville RV Rentals!



Highly recommend them, and renting an RV first if you’re considering ownership, especially if you’re newbies like we were. It really helps to show what you like and dislike so you can make a decision that’s right for you.
Brad and Garrett were awesome - go see them before you go on your RV Adventure!

Motivates me to run my business better!
RV’s were competitively priced too and basically brand new.
Look no further.


Even went home and returned with the wife to look around. No pressure and no sales pitches. We will definitely be back.

Also, Brad in the rental department is just as courteous and easy to deal with!
I won't be going anywhere else for a camper from here on.

They even have folks that will set up your rig at the campsite. We've used them close to a dozen times. They have earned our continued business. Wish I could give them six stars. Make sure you talk to them before you rent anywhere else.
I highly recommend phoning them if you are considering an RV trip!

They went over everything needed (and more) for our smokey mountain long weekend. All was easy from pick up to drop off. They actually answer phone during off hours! Huge plus on service. We'll be back for sure!


There is a reason they continue to have rave reviews online.
Thanks again and happy RVing!



For any other first-timers: the orientation is adequate, but brief. I'd encourage you to view YouTube tutorials as well before showing up for your rental and/or just filming the key parts of the orientation, as the manual is pretty slim. But, assuming those precautions, Nashville RV is a full-service, one-stop shop to get you safely on the open road--especially first-timers.




Garrett was very helpful and was even able to get us a one day extension to enjoy our trip. This place is top notch. We will definitely be back for our next RV rental. A heads up that this place is a little more expensive than somewhere like Cruise America but I feel like you get better service, a better RV and better coverage so it is worth it.
