Everything you need to know

Summary

In order to book one of our units, you must first request to book the dates through the corresponding rvme booking calendar. Next, we will issue an invoice through rvme, typically within 24 hours. Then you will have 5 days to review the invoice and make payment through the website. Once payment is made, your trip is confirmed. At this time, payment in full is required. 

Step by Step

Step 1: You will need to register an account at www.rvme.com

Step 2: You will need to confirm your account via the email that is sent to you from rvme. Make sure to check your junk-mail.

Step 3: Log in to your rvme account and find the desired RV. One way is to press “Search” without a date range. This will bring up all of the RVs. If you have a specific dates, then you can search the date range. After selecting your desired RV, scroll down to the “Booking Calendar” and choose your date range, then add the Delivery if required, then add your desired Rentable Items. Then submit the booking request.

Step 4: We will review the request and make any necessary adjustments. If the booking falls in our low season, we will manually add the Low Season Discount and invoice it back to you for review.

Step 5: After the booking has been invoiced back to you, you will receive an email prompt. You will need to Agree to the Rental Agreements prior to making Payment through the website.

We adhere to the rvme.com cancellation policy: https://www.rvme.com/cancellation-policy 

The cancellation policy will apply to all bookings processed through the website. The tiered approach is designed to allow some flexibility for the renter to cancel a trip in the event their plans change, or an unforeseen event happens. The tiered policy is also designed to protect the listing owners from cancellation revenue loss. In the event of a cancellation, varying percentages of the collected funds will be returned to the listing renter. As it gets closer to the booking a higher percentage will be allotted to the listing owner. The cancellation time frames are as follows:

• If the booking is cancelled more than 30 days in advance, a full refund will be allotted to the listing renter.

•  

• If the booking is cancelled 30 days or less, and greater than 7 days in advance, a 50% refund will be allotted to the listing renter. Booking/Insurance fees and Service fees will still apply accordingly.

• If the booking is cancelled 7 days or less in advance, a 0% refund will be allotted to the listing renter.

Short Notice Schedule Change

With each booking, the dates are blocked and made unavailable for anyone else to book. 
If an early departure is requested during your trip, we will not offer a partial refund.

We do allow dogs, and we have a pet cleaning fee of $75

Unfortunately we do not allow cats because of their nature to scratch furniture. 

Hookups refer to 3 things: Power, Water and Sewer (Sani)

Power

Without a power connection, you will run off of the 12 Volt battery system. You will need to conserve energy. The lights and the furnace will be the biggest draws. You will not have access to: The AC unit, the microwave and the plug-in outlets.

The batteries will last about 3-4 days if used conservatively. 

A generator may be required if your trip is longer than 3 days

Water: If you don’t have a water connection, you will have a limited supply of water. You will need to conserve.

Average Water Supply:
Travel Trailer: 200 Litres

Motorhome: 150 Litres

Sewer (sani): Without a sani connection,  you won’t have the ability to empty your grey and black tanks. This is usually only an issue if you are camping with a water hookup but no sewer connection.

We can schedule a meeting to show an RV. It can sometimes be challenging, especially in Summer. Prior to showing, we will need to make sure the unit is available and cleaned. 

We do provide multiple pictures and descriptions on our website.
