Memories made on trips with Richard Marple's RVs

The RV was nothing like the description. It was very dirty and everything in the cupboards were unorganized. We showed up and one of the tires was almost flat, the owner said it was still safe to drive on as we were only going a few miles away. He then filed a damage report saying it was our fault. The AC unit made a loud screeching noise to the point it could not be used it was so loud. The water pump shook the entire RV when it was turned on. The driver side and passenger side mirrors are held in place by cardboard . The owners have not clue if a spare or jack is even with the RV. So many more little issues with this RV, rent at your own risk. You will be very disappointed.

Richard’s answer

Every host should know going in to this you will get the certain guest(s) that want to figure out a way they can possibly get out of the financial commitment.
In our opinion these 4 guys that took the RV to Legend valley music center had a plan to try to get out of Payment before they even got in the RV.
Outdoorsy sided with us when they want to request a full refund because of the pics and video we had. So make sure as host you cover your butt with renters.
The walk through video shows the wheel was fine and we sent the video to Outdoorsy.
Somehow the driver side exterior dual tire had 3 massive holes high on the sidewall. The technician that came out after they left it, because they said they had to leave at 730am on Sunday to go home, said somebody basically put a screwdriver on purposefully.
These guys called on Saturday at 4pm to say it had a flat and the roadside assistance could get there that night. So we let them leave it and we went and took care of it. These guys thrashed it, left a ton of trash and a griddle at the venue.
The AC is fine and water pump is also fine. No issues with either.
This guy is just a scammer and this experience almost makes me want to not rent again which hurts legitimate people that are trying to rent RVs this way.
Be a deligent host. You can always refute renters at time of pick up if you sense they are trying to take you for a ride.
Again, thanks to outdoorsy for remediating situation, hosts video and pictures are a must.

Richard Marple canceled the booking 2 days before departure. This is an automated posting.

Richard was extremely accommodating and very easy to work with. The RV was perfect for our needs.
