QUICK REFERENCE OPERATIONAL NOTES

 

1. RV height requires at least 13’ clearance, allowing for all rooftop items including A/C units, antennas, vents, dishes, solar panels, etc. Watch for trees overhead, building overhangs, over/under pass clearances, bridges, street lights and signs. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENTER ANY PARKING GARAGE. Most are too low and will likely trap you with too-tight turns and narrow exits. Likely and irreparable damage to the RV can occur. No one wants a claim on their insurance record for the total replacement of said travel trailer.

   1. Pay careful attention when turning and backing up. The view from the tow vehicle side windows and mirrors is very limited. Do not rely on the back-up camera. Use a spotter and get out to assess progress.

   2. Watch carefully while turning, parking, and entering/exiting driveways. You are pulling approximately 36’ of trailer behind your tow vehicle so make extra wide turns. Be aware of your blind spots. Do not drive over 55 mph. Dangerous sway can occur at speeds over 55 mph. Leave plenty of room between you and other drivers. Large rocks can damage the outside and underside of RV, trees and bushes can damage the body and windows. Deep driveways and dips in the road can bottom-out the RV and cause damage to RV underbelly, stairs, hitch, accessories, and tires. As previously stated, Renter is responsible for all associated damages.

1. Never let a valet park the RV. They do not have the experience to drive it, nor are they covered by insurance to move it or cover any incurred damages.

 

1. Before driving away and towing the RV, Renter agrees to do the following:

   1. Safely and securely stow all items inside trailer. Secure items in drawers and cabinets and don’t leave anything on top of tables and counter surfaces that can fall or roll around while trailer is in motion. Place bathroom trash can inside bathtub while traveling.

   2. Close all windows and shades, turn off ceiling vent fans and close vent covers, and turn off lights, water heater, and water pump.

   3. Secure the TV with Velcro straps, if provided. Eject any CD or DVD from stereo player and secure all remotes.

   4. Turn off the air conditioner(s) and/or heater. Turn off the pilot light for the oven. Turn off the TV and fireplace. Unplug appliances & chargers. Turn off interior and exterior lights, including awning lights. 

   5. Roll up outdoor patio mat (sweep clean first) and store in pass-through storage compartment, along with chairs, table(s), games, and accessories. Walk around the trailer twice before pulling away. Ensure that you have gathered all personal belongings as well as the items included with the trailer. Be sure everything is safely stowed in its proper place. Be responsible campers… make certain that no trash has been left at campsite, all pet waste and garbage has been properly disposed of, and “Leave No Trace”.

   6. Unhook all power, water, and sewer hoses. Clean and stow them properly.

   7. Clear any water, leaves or debris from top of slide-out and awning prior to retracting. Awning, slide, stairs, doors. Hitch, etc. must be clear before retracting.

   8. Close and lock all doors and outside compartments.

 

Renter Initials x__________

 

1. AWNING USE… is at the Renter’s own risk! Consider the awning “button” as the $5,000 button! The awning is the only feature on the trailer that is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, any insurance coverage, or by any additional coverage by any online rental platform. Full replacement cost of a damaged awning is approximately $3,500-$5,000. Renter’s use of the awning is implied agreement to these repair and replacement terms.

   1. Awning is operated by the control panel inside the trailer. Awning is located above the main entry door. Entry door must be closed, or open NO MORE than 90*, as to avoid damage to awning arms or door.

   2. Always check your surroundings and current weather conditions prior to extending the awning. Do not use during inclement weather or during ANY breezy or windy conditions. Weather conditions can change rapidly. Do not use where water, leaves, branches, or any debris can fall onto awning top. Only retract a dry, clean awning.

   3. Use awning only if you will be under it. Retract it if you are inside or are leaving the trailer. Retract at night.

   4. NEVER use awning near open flames, over any fire pit, grill or outdoor cooking apparatus, or during wildfire conditions. Sparks and embers can travel great distances.

   5. Renter is fully responsible for damages, whether they are caused by the Renter, other person, acts of Nature, etc.

 

Renter Initials x__________

 

1. You cannot use both air conditioners while hooked up to the supplied generator or 30 amp service shore power, both air conditioners will only work when hooked up to 50 amp shore power.

   1. The TV, microwave, outdoor refrigerator, entryway outlet (GFI reset), and air conditioner(s) are on the same power breaker. Use caution when trying to power more than one electric appliance.

1. Check tire pressure regularly and when tires are cold. It is the Renter’s responsibility to maintain tire integrity during their rental period. Tire pressure is checked before every rental and tire integrity is checked by Owner during regular maintenance and prior to each rental departure.

   1. Spare tire is located at the rear of the trailer.

   2. If Renter is planning to tow the trailer (delivery declined), Owner requires purchase of Roadside Assistance.

   3. Renter is responsible for repair or replacement of damaged tire(s) due to puncture, tear, or blowout; regardless of damage source (nail, screw, rock, road hazard, curb, etc.). Owner must be notified immediately of any tire damage and photo and video evidence provided by the Renter.

1. Always use the hood vent when cooking on the stovetop. It releases heat, excess gas, and some odors. This is for your safety as well as to help prevent fire or damage to RV.

   1. Wait until stovetop burner(s) are completely cool before replacing glass cover.

   2. Renter agrees to following cooking restrictions:

      1. No frying of any foods inside the trailer. This includes bacon, fish/seafood, or any foods that can splatter oils, grease, or fats. The chance of fire or flash-over is extremely high. It is also prohibited due to the odors left in soft surfaces inside the trailer. Please use outside grill or cooktop for any high heat cooking. If evidence of indoor frying is found upon return, additional fee will be assessed.

      2. Clean cooking surfaces after each use. Do not cook on a dirty stovetop and clean all surfaces prior to return.

 

Renter Initials x__________

 

1. Use outside shower nozzle to rinse off sand and dirt, as well as to wash off food particles from dishes and utensils.

   1. Do not wash off dirt and sand inside bathtub/shower. Sand clogs the drain and the gray tank. Renter is responsible for damages caused by clogged drains and tanks, as well as for all emergency service fees for professional plumbing fixes. Scrape all food from dishes before washing in the sink.

   2. NEVER DUMP THE GRAY OR BLACK TANKS IN ANY PLACE OTHER THAN SPECIFIED RV DUMP STATIONS OR AT CAMPSITE SEWER HOOK-UP SITES. You could be fined for illegal dumping (more than $1,500). Additionally, it is a huge health and environmental violation. Don’t be disgusting. It is illegal to dump tanks onto the ground or into the storm drains.

   3. Be mindful of the tank levels in the trailer. Monitor them from the central control panel on the entryway wall. Conserve water, even when hooked-up to city water supply, because the gray and black holding tanks are small. It is recommended to use public restroom and showers whenever possible in order to conserve fresh water and holding tank space. NOTE: The black (sewer) tank level may inaccurately show on control panel at times when the sensor in the tank is covered by biological waste or toilet paper. 

   4. It is strongly recommended that you take “military style” showers… Get wet, turn off water (on shower head). Shampoo and soap. Turn water back on and rinse quickly. Remember – there is only 6 gallons of hot water. It takes about 15 minutes for tank to refill and reheat.

   5. Owner is not responsible for fresh water refill or gray/black tank dumping during your trip. If Renter runs out of fresh water or has filled the holding tank(s), it is the Renter’s responsibility to fill or dump as needed. Some areas have mobile services that may be able to come to your campsite but those services are not available in all areas. Check with campsite hosts or internet searches for your area in an emergency. **If plumbing problems occur, contact Owner immediately so assistance and/or repairs can begin to be coordinated and scheduled ASAP.

 

1. Toilet paper is provided for you, with ample supply for the stated number of guests. Only Septic safe toilet paper is allowed. Do not use any paper other than what is provided. Regular toilet paper clogs the drain and the delicate sewer components within the black tank. It can stick to the sensors, giving a false reading on black tank level.

   1. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GETS FLUSHED BUT TOILET PAPER! This means NO wipes (“flushable” or not), tampons or sanitary pads, paper towels, diapers, trash, food… ANYTHING! Use the trash can and empty it often. Trash bags are provided under bathroom and kitchen sinks, and with the cleaning supplies in the pantry.

   2. Septic tank chemicals are located under bathroom sink. Flush 2 ounces (or 2 tablets) down the toilet with water every two days if odor is noticeable. This also aids in breakdown of toilet paper and waste solids.

   3. When  flushing toilet after using toilet paper flush toilet for at least 5 seconds to adequately flush the solids and paper down.

1. Tow Vehicle – It is Renter’s responsibility to verify towing capabilities, including but not limited to: max tongue weight, max towing capacity, max cargo weight, etc. Renter is responsible for any and all damage due to incorrect weight calculations. GLAMPING LIFESTYLE RV RENTALS reserves the right to cancel the reservation if the Renter arrives for departure/pick up with a tow vehicle that will not safely tow the travel trailer.

   1. GLAMPING LIFESTYLE RV RENTALS and Renter together will confirm that the proper towing equipment is used and “hooked up” prior to departure. All connections including ball hitch and height, anti-sway bars, 7-pin electric coupler, chain attachment, electric brake assistance, mirrors, cameras, etc. are working and are safely connected.

   2. Renter will provide the name(s), address(es), Drivers License number(s), and photo of each valid drivers license for all approved drivers. Each approved driver must attend the Departure Orientation.

   3. Daily insurance is required for the entire duration of the rental reservation. Roadside Assistance is required when given the option with insurance.
