Brian Chmielowski has been so helpful

Brian Chmielowski has been so helpful. I tried to rent an RV but the preferred location ran out of RV. Brian found one for me at a next closest location and got us a discount also. The whole process was so quick and simple. This is our first time renting with Cruise America. We'll sure to give Brian a call next time as well.

2 thumbs up for Derek! Super helpful. Looked at other RV rental companies, and this by far was the most value and the easiest to understand and book.

Hi Meredith, Thank you for your positive review and acknowledging Derek with his great customer service. We hope to hear from you again!

Reservation Specialist Brian Chmielowski shout-out!

We just wanted to drop a review and say that Cruise America is a great company, always flexible. But specifically, if you are lucky enough to have Brian Chmielowski as your reservation specialist, you are in for a treat. Brian worked with us to get us the best deal for our upcoming reservation which is a 2 week RV adventure across the USA. This is our third trip with Cruise America. Keep up the good work!

Traumatic experience with Cruise Canada

We had a horrible experience with Cruise Canada in the last few days. My family came from abroad to spend a week traveling with me and my wife across the Canadian Rockies. To start, we opted to get an RV from Cruise Canada because of the mileage allowance, which is based on miles on their website instead of KMs. To my surprise, after the entire checkout process, the confirmation email came with the same amount of distance allowance in KMs instead of MILES, which made a significant cost difference in my trip. Just because of that, I would opt to rent from CanaDream. However, that isn't the main reason for this bad review. Our RV was infested with mice. In the first 48 hours after the rental, we heard mouse noises during the night and we noticed some of the food we bought had mouse traces on it. After throwing part of our food away and buying some mouse traps, we caught five mice in the first 24 hours. The mice had access to the silverware drawers, which made it even more disgusting. After trying to call assistance and email customer relations, with little success, I spoke to the branch manager. He told us mice are quite common in RVs and insinuated that we got them from a campground. The thing is, we spent 6 nights in 5 different campgrounds and we caught most of the mice in the first two days. He offered me a 100 CAD compensation and waiving some of the small fees. However, as I was leaving the office, I spotted a mouse trap close to his desk – talk about irony.

Date of experience : May 01, 2024

Hi Frederico, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your trip with the issue of mice. Your claim has been received by our Customer Relations team and is now being handled by one of our agents. We understand the importance of a timely response and are working diligently to address your concerns. Please expect a response from our Customer Relations agent no later than this Friday. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience as we work towards resolving this matter. Thank you for choosing Cruise America.

Two breakdowns in two days, one totally unsafe!

Two breakdowns in two days and the vehicle still had serious issues. The vehicle air conditioner stopped working on the way home from picking it up. The call center was difficult to deal with, after several hours of finding a shop and getting it repaired most of my first day was lost. Left the next morning, after getting on the interstate the vehicle handled terrible, a stop and check of front end showed inner part of front tires worn (cords showing), very dangerous. Spent 7 hours beside interstate getting tires. All of my second day was lost. Turned around and went home. I would never drive this on a long trip, I want to continue living, the front end needs work! I rarely complain about products or do reviews. I am hoping for a full refund. Most of the time I had it I was waiting on repairs, I don't think I should pay them rent to get their repairs done.

Can always rely on their professionalism.

Very easy to make reservation. Fourth time using Cruise America. Mostly in California.

DO NOT RENT RV's FROM Cruise America!

DO NOT RENT RV's FROM Cruise America! We ended up loosing around 8.000$ on absolutely nothing. Their customer support sucks and they are NO help at all. Had the worst start on a 3 week trip to US. No one takes responsibility for anything. We ended up spending hours and hours calling them with no useful results. Do yourself a favor and find another place to rent an RV from. We ended up finding another company which was way more proffesionel, even though we ended up loosing and spending more money. But the RV simply wasn't safe to drive in, and the people from Cruise America surely didn't want to take responsibility for any of it. They probably end up answering this review, and point out how sorry they are for their low quality of service, the fact is just that we as customers can't use their sorries for anything. We really hope that this review will help others to not waste their money on Cruise America.

The reservation process was easy and staff were very professional. First we reserved a one way trip from Denver to Las Vegas. Then we needed to change our reservation to two way trip in Colorado. Then we had to cancel our reservation. Each step was handled well.

Great Customer Service from Heath

I called CruiseAmerica to get some information about a tentative trip for this Fall 2024. I was fortunate to speak with Heath Lowrey who gave me all the information I needed plus giving me suggestions so I was able to make our reservation. Health was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. His fabulous customer service was greatly appreciated. His is a wonderful asset for CruiseAmerica. Thank you, Health

Great Service at Cruise America Mesa, Arizona

Cruise America Mesa, Arizona, is a delight to visit because of David S. in reservations and Karin R. at the rental desk. I can't say enough about these two people. I've rented from C.A. probably three dozen times now, and they are so friendly and go above and beyond every time. Karin makes sure everything is perfect with our RVs. She tries to accommodate every request and does so with genuine kindness. David is so prompt when returning calls, answers every question, and is so pleasant to talk with. Other employees are okay too, but not like David and Karin. I think those two really lead by example and lift the whole company up with their efforts.

A C25 RV was an excellent choice for our USA roadtrip

We booked our RV through Camper Days in the UK  From first contacting them they were very helpful even when I had to change the pick up date. All the communications were very clear and making the payment via a bank transfer was straightforward. Cruise America contacted us prior to the pick up date with useful information and videos to watch. We arrived at the Los Angeles branch a hour early due to haviing to check out of our hotel, but the staff were very accomodating and we didn’t have to wait for long. The pick up process was very straightforward. We'd ordered the kitchen, bedding and towels packages there were some items missing but we were told to buy them and keep the receipts and we'd be refunded at the end of the trip. We had a couple of issues with the van, the glass in the passenger wing mirror was rattling and we didn't have the correct sewer fittings for the RV sites we were staying at. I contacted the assistance line and they said to buy what we needed and we would be refunded. The RV itself was clean and very comfortable for the two of us. Everything worked as expected and we made use of the generator, heating and air con. In total we travelled just over 1500 miles in it. The returns process was very straightforward I gave them a list of what we'd purchased along with the receipts and the total was added to our refund. We thoroughly enjoyed using the C25 RV for our USA roadtrip.

Robert Sinteral the reservation specialist was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. He will be our to go specialist.

Very disappointed

Quoted one price, then called back a week later and demanded additional $40/day and $200 additional damage deposit. Very poor customer service.

4th booking and great customer service

We just booked our 4th rental and I received a discount code after the fact via email. I called and spoke with Robert Sinteral who immediately gave us the discount, emailed us the updated booking receipt while we were on the phone and answered my questions with professionalism. Robert is a great asset to your company and deserves praise! Thanks Robert!

This review is based solely on reservations

This review is based solely on reservations, the delivery and experience of the camper has yet to occur: Kiki was a pleasure to deal with, responded clearly, promptly to my queries and changed the city of pickup (had originally reserved pickup from another state/city) without any issues. A+

My experience was AMAZING!

My experience was AMAZING! Robby was in incredible. I needed to find an RV to watch the eclipse and all the RVs had been sold out for 10 months. I called at exactly the right time when there had been a cancellation and Robby got right on it to grab it for me as well as give me a wonderful discount! He said as so helpful and friendly. I am so so grateful that my family vacation will be even better now!

Standard Motorhome C25

The Standard Motorhome C25 RV from Cruise America is a good choice if you are travelling with 5 people. This RV has sleeping arrangements with two double beds and one dinette bed, where the dinette can be converted into a small bed. The total length of 25 feet makes this RV a great option for enough comfort for a family RV vacation, but it is still okay to easily maneuver into any kind of campsite.  

This RV includes an internal walk-through acces, a toilet, shower, oven/microwave, airconditioning and cruise control

Here's a fascinating, well written, article about RV rentals.

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g28926-c187230/California:United-States:Rv.Rental.Is.It.Right.For.Us.html

' class=

Beware of first-time posts touting any commercial service.

Here is my Cruise America experience, I hope it provides you with a closer, honest look before you decide to rent with this company. There are good and bad points to this review.

First of all when you are booking the rv, you pay a deposit and then the rest comes out like a week or two later, so make sure you have enough in your account to avoid fees and the cancellation of your rv booking.

We booked the C19 compact rv. I travelled with my sister and we are both young, so we didnt know anything about rv's, but we thought this one was big enough for our needs. We booked this rv for one month. From november 20th-december 20th.

Daily rate $34.80x 30 equals rental total $1044.00.

Extras total:

unlimited miles option $984.50

2x personal kits $110

sales tax $168.75

TOTAL AFTER TAX $2,307.25

On arrival also you have to pay $500 for bond (if using a raised number credit card) or $1000 (if paying cash) which you will get back on return if everything is to standard.

You obviously have to have a drivers licence and be over the age of 21.

A day before you pick the rv up, you must ring them and tell them a time you will be there so they can have it ready. You cannot pick the rv up the day you arrive in from overseas either.

As we did not pay for the 'early bird departure special' we could not get the rv until after 1pm, if you pay for the early special you can drive the rv from 9am. Also when returning the rv if you paid for the early special you can return the rv up until 3pm, however we didnt so you have to return the rv at 9am. If you wish to return the rv a few days early there is no refund for unused days. We actually wished we only booked it for 3 weeks.

We picked our rv up from 223rd east street in carson, Los Angeles (which is in quite a ghetto scary place when taking the metro as two young girls). We paid the bond, signed the contract, and were asked if we wanted to watch the video which you can also watch online on the cruise america sight. We watched the video, then were taken to our rv. We didnt get the run through of the rv like it says on the video. The lady checked the propane and gas (fuel) gauges to see what we had to return with the same amount. Then we were on our way. That was it. We could drive a rv for the first time in a completely different country. pretty overwhelming.

So the personal kit comes with:

1 flat sheet

1 pillowcase

2 face washers

2 bath towels

1 toilet roll

1 tea towel

1 box of matches

1 toilet rv flusher

The rv comes with two rv manuals and a KOA book and pamphlet.

It also comes with in the c19 compact:

6 plastic cups

6 large plates

1 large pot

1 small saucepan

6 power outlets

1 cable outlet

6 coathangers

1 large blunt knife

1 small sharp knife

6 steak knives

6 butter knives

6 table spoons

5 teaspoons

1 bbq prong

1 can opener

3x 9v battery

Things you need to buy:

papertowel, clingwrap, containers, bottled water, dust pan of brush, extra blankets (if in winter like we were), dishwashing detergent, tongs, strainer, peeler, plugs for the sinks and garbage bags. also good idea to have electronic cords that you can charge things through the cigarette lghter.

OK things that are broken/need fixing/went wrong etc:

-pressure sensor fault tyre light on dash the whole time we had rv.

-internal furnace aka heater didnt work

-no sink plug? most annoying thing ever to start off with.

-cupboard door latch broken, swings everytime we drive.

-drivers mirror collapses in when you drive 60mph or higher.

-window over table always opens when driving

-exhaust fan above stove top doesnt work

-one of the two cigarette lighters doesnt work.

-good privacy curtains

-lights and alarm work well

-fridge is decent size with freezer draw

-perfect size for 2 people, no more than that.

-gas top works well

-you can use space behind car seats to store suitcases if you dont have the seat right back as well as the space behind the third seat next to the rv door entry.

-the heater in the front of the car works well.

-CD player works well

-plenty of above head storage for clothes, shoes etc

-comfy seats

-table is really handy

Things we wish we knew before roadtripping around the u.s in an rv:

-vehicle must be 'winterised', so you pay $35 to have anti freeze etc. therefore before getting to a cold destination, you must empty your water holding tank otherwise it will freeze. and the propane will be too cold to use and your internal heater doesnt work, so be prepared for a freezing cold night.

-RV parks in america cost an average of $30 for two people per night, any more people and it costs more. Places we liked were Anderson camp in twin falls, malibu rv park (cheap and nice in off peak season), KOA (although expensive eg 66 a night in San Diego). We didnt like Kit Carson in flagstaff, arrived at night, toilets were locked and shoreline didnt fit into designated night sites, even with adaptor. Rv parks will allow you to empty your tanks, use power and wifi and showers, toilets and fresh water.

we didnt use the shower in the rv ever, it was too small and the shower head you have to hold up as you shower, also our 'water heater' button didnt heat anything.

-you can stay at walmart and starbucks carports for free, however in california, pay for a rv park, the police will find you whereever you are and disturb you say you cannot sleep in a vehicle overnight.

AND FINALLY, gas or (fuel) costs an average of $3.13-$3.89 per gallon depending on your destination (we stayed on the west coast of u.s.a). california was the most expensive. Our rv held approximately 35 gallons i think, it normally cost us $80-$100 to fill completely which lasted 5-6hrs worth of driving at 65mph. the rv must have 1/4 tank of gas to operate the generator as it uses 1 gallon per hour.

So overall, what we expected to be a 'budget' holiday for us actually worked out to be just as expensive as our trip to europe backpacking around and staying at hostels and hotels. we actually had financial issues at the end of our trip as the 500 bond did not go straight back on. Hope this helps someone. Also the 24/7 phone assistance and booking through the online company are really easy and helpful assistance.

Laura525252, thank you for taking the time for a review. Your experiences are ones we try to warn people about so it is really nice to have it confirmed by a traveler.

Hope you will come back to the US when it is not winter!!

Laura, that's a very comprehensive post, thanks. However, as someone who has been RVing for over 20 years, there are a few statements that need to be addressed and corrected.

>>propane will be too cold to use and your internal heater doesnt work, so be prepared for a freezing cold night.<<

I don't know why your furnace didn't work - probably a problem with the computer "brain" or maybe just the thermostat, but all RVs have good furnaces. Propane works just fine when it is cold outside... that comment really puzzles me!

If you camp in cold weather, you *must* use your furnace to keep the pipes warm. Thousands of people both camp and live in very very cold weather - well below 0ºC - and as long as they manage their hoses and keep the unit warm, they do not have problems.

We just completed a short trip where it was below freezing every night and not much above it during the day and everything was fine.

>>any more people and it costs more.<<

No, usually it is the same price for a family up to 4 to 6 people.

>>we didnt use the shower in the rv ever, it was too small<<

Yes, they are small, and the smaller the RV, the smaller the shower! Your 19 footer is considered *very small* by American standards. A larger motorhome has a larger shower.

>>our 'water heater' button didnt heat anything.<<

This comment in conjunction with your furnace comment makes it sound to me almost as if you had NO propane! RVs have excellent fast recovery water heaters! They are small, usually only 6 gallons, but very efficient and they heat the water very well.

>>the police will find you whereever you are and disturb you say you cannot sleep in a vehicle overnight.<<

Inside city limits and in populated areas, there are usually laws not allowing overnighting if you are not in an RV park or campground. However, in rural areas, people do this all the time - it's called "boondocking". Within National Parks, you must be in a recognized campground.

Allie R, keep in mind that in today's world, whenever somebody has a poor experience, they jump on the internet to complain to the world about it. People who are happy with their experiences do not do this nearly as much!

It is true that RV rentals in Florida seem to be "harder-used" than in other areas. Things do go wrong with motorhomes. Broken latches, rattling stovetops, cracked and broken plastic gizmos are very common with rentals as the units get beat up! The last few years, some companies seem to be keeping their rentals longer, so an older one might not be as nice. I would strongly suggest you try the various operations onboard before you leave the rental yard. Make sure the furnace works, for example :-)

I am familar with RV rental companies on the west coast. You could check to see if there is an El Monte RV and/or CAmping World / Moturis office near where you are renting and check reviews on them. Also, do a general search and see what turns up.

cruise america c25 review

Old post resurrected but great info from all.

Yes, it's an old post, but laura has posted some good info and advice, and based on personal experience - which is always invaluable.

Motorhome rentals for a family with several children may make more sense than constantly changing motels, particularly if the children are younger. No changing motels every night, and parents can avoid dragging kids into restaurants twice a day. But "Mom" will still have to do the dishes ;-)

Very old fashioned H-B. Actually washing dishes is my task in our trailer....and no kids to help ;-)

Jacqueline and Mac at the Newark location are incredibly helping and made the renting process a breeze. If i ever need to rent another rv or camper again I'll be coming back to this location! In all honesty they both deserve a raise!

PLEASE READ IF CONSIDERING BUYING !!! So I bought from this location almost a year ago , when I tell you that this place is an absolute scam rip off artist it's horrible . So I bought an RV ( refurbished) and it has been issue after issue , I'm exhausted and SUPER disappointed that they would sale this to me with all the issues . So let's start from here , when I bought it both batteries ( coach battery & Engine battery ) was both over 4 years old , first time it got cold both died . $360 for both Next , complete water system in the coach failed , multiple water line breaks , Coach water pump was leaking in multiple locations , when investigated they didn't run the water lines correct and it looked as if they had the same issues prior $ 1700 RV has been kept in a indoor garage ,,, took it out for the first time in the rain to take a drive ,,, ALL 3 skylights ( over bed , over driver cabin bed & bathroom ALL leaking severely ). After investigating it was never siliconed correctly, they did a half a$$ job sealing it just to make it ready to go , it was an absolute mess on the roof , service person was amazed on how bad the job was ... $1200 First time using the gas , turned gas on and it was leaking , entire gas system needed to be replaced , turned it on and all I could smell was gas ,,, replaced everything $500 . We have put barley 1k miles on this thing and it is an absolute mess .... I wish I could speak to someone higher up but I'm sure they don't care .... I urge ANYONE looking for a used RV run for your life in the opposite direction from this place ...

After reading all the bad reviews, a lot of which seem to be from other locations, I guess my advice is to insist on getting a newer vehicle and inspect everything before driving off. We had amazing customer service (shout out to Robbie in the Newark, CA office!) at pick-up. He was very informative and helpful with all kinds of tips and information. We were in and out quickly and even got to take off in our vehicle an hour early. The guy who showed us everything on the rv told us that the sensor in the black water (toilet) tank was not working right, it was empty but always showed at 1/3 full bc it likely had a piece of toilet paper blocking the sensor. That was fine, at least we knew about it. Also the propane tank always read emptier than it was even when it was full. The steering wheel also pulled to the left but it corrected itself when we put air in the tire. We explained these issues when checking it back in and the guys were very nice about it and didn't try to say it was our fault. The rv had about 20k miles and everything else was working great and nice and clean. We really enjoyed our road trip of about 1400 miles thru Oregon and the Northern California coast. Rv'ing is glamping in my opinion!! You roll up to your campsite, lock the doors and you're ready to go explore and have fun! No unloading and setting up for hours only to have to break it all down again. Just arrive and enjoy. Hungry? Double burner propane stove is ready to cook whatever you want. There's a microwave if you're lazy. 2 sinks, hot shower, comfy bed. Fridge and freezer with lots of room. We were eating ice cream in the middle of a forest! Yes, it's expensive to rent an rv, but if you're going on vacation and planning to spend time in nature, THIS IS IT FOLKS!!! I never want to camp like a peasant again!! My tips- Download Google maps so you have details when offline. You'd be surprised how little phone/ internet coverage America has outside of the cities. Look around inside the rv before buying supplies. We found a broom and cups, bowls and plates we didn't know about. Most things in the rv are run by propane. The generator is $3.50 per hour to run but that's only used for the microwave when you're not plugged into power. Make sure you feel/ hear the fridge door "click" into lock mode before driving off lol! Secure stuff before driving and put something under the microwave plate so it doesn't jiggle and make a lot of noise when moving. Also secure everything including the spare tire for a quieter smoother ride. Buy rainex for your windshield and windows and take this step for better visibility when driving. Your windows will get gross on the roads and this is a safety hazard. Have someone get out of the rv to help with parking bc there's no rear camera.

this place sucks. services members are terribly slow and not willing to work with customers in anything close to a timely manner. I had an appointment to pick up my RV at 11 and now I am being told I will be waiting here till 2pm. do yourself a favor don't rent here.

This review is for the Newark, CA location. I noticed some other reviews left here were for other locations besides the one for this listing. I have rented twice from this location (Compact Plus model) and have had positive experiences both times. The staff are friendly. They walked me through every single thing that has an on/off switch you'd need to use for living in and upkeeping the RV during a trip. They switch everything on to ensure it works, including both the heater and AC. They explain how the waste valves work. They make sure the water tank and propane are full. The RVs are very clean and on both of my trips I had no issues with anything malfunctioning. (Compare this to my rental from another RV rental chain "The Mountain" where the rep was personality-less and I had to ask her how to turn stuff off/on, the rear cam immediately stopped working, fridge barely worked, side mirror was broken, and more!) An RV has a lot of little parts that can go wrong but I think Cruise America did a good job of maintaining the rentals I had. The only annoying thing is that they do not refill the gas so it's whatever the last person returned it with. I got mine 1/4 full so had to immediately get gas nearby. However they were upfront about this and only expected the return to be 1/4 full at the end of my trip.

Sadly I can't give a half star but our experience with Cruise America can only be described as completely awful . If you are looking to rent an RV, I would choose almost anyone else you can find- literally build an RV yourself if you have to instead of using them. Cruise America pulled off the rare feat of making our 7 hour trip a 12-hour nightmare both ways. The RV we got should have never been allowed off the lot and the only logical reason it could have possibly passed their inspection is either complete laziness, outright stupidity, a greed for money despite putting in no effort, or most likely a mixture of all 3. The alignment was so bad in this truck that it tore the right wheel to shreds. When we called for help, we were basically given a shrug emoji and told to fend for ourselves because, and I quote the employee here, "it's Sunday". So, if you are taking a trip, make sure it's not on a Sunday because that is apparently a reason to not give a shit anymore for employees all over the country, despite running a retail travel service where people are constantly traveling on Sunday. We were fortunate enough to make it home on the spare; by the time we got back, it was on it's last legs. Basically, we were given an unsafe truck to hurtle at 70 MPH down the highway with no oversight from the inspection team and zero help from the company once their shit product failed. It was most likely my worst retail renting experience of my life. Do not use this company ever, I guarantee you it will be a terrible time and whatever you do do not use the bathroom in these, as it doesn't work. Here is a list of things you can do besides using one of these terrible RVs from the worst RV-rental company in America: 1) Fly yourself- I mean literally flap your arms like wings 2) Walk even if it takes you 6 months 3) Get shot out of a cannon and pray you land at your destination 4) Don't go on your trip- missing it will be better than dealing with these chuckleheads 5) Get a root canal and have your periodontist travel you in your chair to the destination during the procedure 6) Get yourself in a human centipede situation and run down to your destination 7) Strap yourself to the front of a train and hope for the best Seriously, this company is the fucking worst. DO. NOT. USE. THEM.

Cruise America has business practices that should not be allowed within this country. They take a $500 deposit and then miraculously there are surcharges and fees that take up nearly that entire amount. And you have no way of arguing them because they already have your money and their customer service is non-existent. I had the absolute worst experience renting an RV that I have had on vacation ever. The RV I had was new but it was like driving a wooden wheeled car across railroad tracks for 700 miles. Then on top of that, they charged me for 2 days over what I used the RV for because we returned it early because it was such a horrendous experience. So they could double dip and rent it out again and make money on the same days I was not getting refunded for. they charges "housekeeping" fees of $350 even thought my wife and I wiped down that entire RV before turning it in. When asked for proof of what was dirty, there only response was to give us $150 certificate to be used within the next 2 years. I would never use it because I would never rent an RV. And if I did, I would not do it through them. It took me 2 weeks just to get a response form their billing department. The just over another week before I got their response that they will not be refunding me anything. Do yourself a favor and rent an SUV or something and pitch a tent in some haunted woods. Trust me you will have a better experience and cheaper because you will not have them scam your deposit out of you. I will never do business with them ever again and recommend anyone thinking about it to think of alternative ways to travel for your vacation.

TL;DR I would really not recommend using them. First you should note they provide the most basic of units; our unit did not even had Bluetooth so we could hear the GPS. Two hours into our trip, the left mirror broke, meaning, it started spinning on it's access with no way to secure it. Have you ever tried driving a huge 30 foot truck with no way on knowing what is happening on your left? I would recommend against it. I called roadside assistance and requested help, they would not send someone over despite the risk to my family; I had to drive over 40 miles to a small town and had to fix my mirror with duct tape. The next day I called and asked for a replacement unit, they asked me to wait 30 minutes (without leaving the camp) and did not call me back, I called again, they asked for 15 mote minutes, and did to call back; this went on for 4 hours, finely at 11 am, I decided I will not wait anymore and started driving; they never called back. I called the next day asking for a manager, they promised one will get back to, it never happened. A few other thigs - The furnace did not work, try to imagine a family of 5 in Oregon at night, 35F / 2C without heating. Milledge was terrible, 15 Gallons per 100 miles The truck itself was so loud, it was almost impossible to talk in it when you drive. All and all, very far from a pleasant experience for a trip that we planned for two years, saved our money to for years and for a unit that cost thousands.

I was not happy with my Cruise America rental. So many things went wrong it was kind of ridiculous! I made many calls to travel assistance. This was my third rental in the past three years. The previous rentals were mostly trouble free. I don't know what's happening over there, but things have seriously gone downhill. First, the water ran out on Day 2. When I called assistance to find out why air instead of water was coming out the tap, he said the tank was dry. He asked if I had checked the gauges and I had not. When I picked up the camper, the agent told me the gas was full and the LP gas was 3/4 full. I don't think she mentioned water. But why on earth would you rent a camper with gas and propane and almost no water AND NOT INFORM THE RENTER? I had told the agent I was going off the grid and would not have access to gas, propane, electricity or water. Not only that, there is probably a hose on the Cruise America property; filling the water tank would be the simplest thing to do! Luckily, I was able to backtrack a bit before I left civilization and fill it up, but this created a several hour delay in my trip. When I checked the water gauge I also looked at the others. I was alarmed to see that the black and grey water tanks read as full, which could not be true since this was still Day 2 of my trip. Online I saw several articles explaining how untrustworthy those two gauges are so I decided they were wrong. By this time it was too late to seek out a dump station. For the next few days I used water mainly to wash dishes. On day four, I took my first shower and the grey water backed up into the shower stall. Let me remind you that I am one person on the fourth day of my trip. The agent made a show of pointing to the open sewage cap to prove the tanks were empty but that was obviously not even CLOSE to being true. That day and the next day I had to let my dirty dishes pile up in the sink. And of course I couldn't take another shower. I was camping in an environmentally sensitive area where it's not allowed to dump any kind of unclean water. The following day I went to find dump facilities on my way to another primitive campground. Again, this added an unnecessary delay and detour from my planned trip since I should not have had to dump the tanks until I got back to town to return the camper. Unfortunately, for the last 2.5 hours of the drive there, a disgusting sewage smell permeated the camper, making the drive quite unpleasant. But we're not done yet! On the last day of my trip, the refrigerator failed. The indicator showed the letters F and A. The travel assistance agent had no idea what that meant. But I figured it out since the ice in the freezer was half melted. He instructed me to cycle the refrigerator off and on five times. This did not work. I had decided to end my trip early for several reasons, and this capped it off. I didn't want all the food in the fridge to spoil. As it was, I did lose a few items. And I developed a bad taste in my mouth for this camper experience. When I returned the camper, I told the agent how unhappy I was and that I wanted 50% off my entire rental as compensation. He said he could offer $500 off. When I got home, I read the contract again and realized I did not get my $300 edited deposit back! I filled out their online form twice, emailed them directly and sent them a physical letter via snail mail and have received absolutely zero response. I've filed a BBB complaint against them.

I had a great experience renting from this place. Hassle free check in and check out process. They were nice in letting go of the half of propane even though I was wrong in not refilling it and did not know where to look for it. Vehicle condition was decent and staff was friendly about miss on my part. Will def rent again.

Suri Cruise spotted in NYC after Tom Cruise ‘snub’ revealed

Suri Cruise has been spotted out in New York City after apparently ditching her famous dad’s last name.

The 18-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes was dressed casually as she walked down the street, with headphones covering her ears, on Tuesday.

It comes after Hello! magazine revealed that Suri had taken on a new moniker, which was displayed in the playbill of her school production of Head Over Heels .

The teen, who played Princess Philoclea in The Go-Go’s jukebox musical, was credited as “Suri Noelle” - using the middle name of her mother.

The telling move follows the revelation in recent months that Suri is completely estranged from her Top Gun star father, with a source telling the Daily Mail last month that if he called, “she would not answer.”

“He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything,” the insider claimed.

Details of the pair’s strained relationship first emerged last year, when it was reported that Suri had begun applying for colleges without any input from Cruise.

“Suri is applying to schools all over the place. [Katie] really does want her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other. Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective,” a source told the publication.

They added that Cruise has offered no input as he “has no part” in his child’s life.

Cruise, 61, and Holmes, 45, were one of the most high-profile couples of the early 2000s, with their romance generating endless headlines.

During a now infamous appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2005, Cruise jumped on the talk show host’s sofa to declare his feelings for Holmes.

“I’m in love! I’m in love,” he yelled while fist pumping the air. “I can’t be cool. I can’t be laid-back. It’s something that has happened, and I feel I want to celebrate it. I want to celebrate her. She’s a very special woman.”

The couple welcomed Suri in April 2006, and married in November that year.

However, the marriage crumbled just six years later when Holmes filed for divorce, and Cruise has reportedly been estranged from his daughter since 2013.

The three-year-old child of these two mega-famous stars made a very rare public appearance, popping up in a TV audience.

The 16-year-old child of one of the most famous singers on the planet has stepped out alongside their famous mum in Paris.

The daughter of one of the most famous women in the world has been photographed having a Baywatch moment at the beach.
