With RV Share and Outdoorsy, you are interacting with different owners. Each RV owner is altogether a different individual and they may have different priorities and concerns.
Hence, you have to realize that it is an individual and not an RV rental company (such as Cruise America or any other local one) that you'll be interacting with. Unlike such companies who have been practicing for a long time, many individual owners might not be experienced enough. You might have to negotiate differently with each distinct owner.
Hence, it is best to outline your trip details in advance and communicate the same with the RV owner. You can highlight certain details.
For example, communicating to the owner that you will be traveling with your family will send out an implicit message that the RV will be well looked after as you will be looking after your family as well.
Also, you can share certain other details such as whether you will be renting the RV for just the weekend to go to a nearby campground that is just 50 miles away, or whether you will be renting it for a whole week and go someplace else that might be at a distance of 500 miles or more.
Sharing as many outlines as possible, without having to give away a whole lot of personal details will awaken the appetite of the RV owner. And if your RV rental needs suit the expectations of the RV owner, you will be obliged with a response accordingly.
For example, if you are renting during prominent holidays such as memorial holidays, July 4th holiday, or Christmas, the demand for RVs during such peak renting times will far outstrip the supply. Hence, you should be aware of what the scenario is.
For example, if you want to rent an RV during the July 4th holidays - and your trip pans over several days before and after the weekend, highlighting the same could help sweeten the deal for you.
On the other hand, if you want to rent an RV for the month of October when the schools have reopened and people are back to their routine work lives, it will be much easier for you to negotiate a rental deal for yourself.
For example, if it is mutually agreed that you will be getting 125 miles per day instead of the standard 100 miles per day, or that the pick-up will take place at 11:00 AM instead of the standard 3:00 PM, you can have the RV owner reflect the same under the dedicated fields present in the contract.
This will avoid any issues or misunderstandings that may arise at the time of RV rental checkout. As far as feasible, always try to get the agreements noted down in the contract.
However, under exceptional circumstances such as when the RV owner forgets to imbibe a certain point in the contract or there is no specifically allotted field in the contract for a certain point, the messages that you exchange with the owner in RV Share or Outdoorsy are reliable enough.
In case of a dispute, you can go back to the messages and hold your stand.
Another thing that you can do is note down the negotiated points in the checkout documentation at the time of checkout or if it is an online form, you can note it someplace suitable.
