Answer
Hi Paul,

As a matter of fact, I know of an excellent place to rent an RV: American RV Rentals. It is actually closer to Los Angeles than San Francisco, but it is highly recommended. You can check out their web site at www.americanrvrentals.com.  In fact, you can tell them that Steve Springer referred you, and ask for Jeff (the owner). He can get you the best deal possible on an RV rental. Ask for the 2003 Storm, it is our favorite (http://www.americanrvrentals.com/storm0332.htm).

There are other RV rental agencies, but I like American RV because the RV's they rent are owned by families and individuals, who take better care of their RV. Many agencies own their own RV's, and don't take very good care of their RV's. Company-owned RV's are often treated poorly by some renters, suffer a lot of abuse, and break down more often.

Check out the web site, talk to Jeff, and see if he can get you a good deal. If not, there is always elmonterv.com.

Have fun,

Steve
