Will I need a generator to camp in a travel trailer?
A generator is only needed when you are camping in a location without access to electrical outlets. All trailers are equipped with onboard batteries but batteries will drain quickly and become damaged if not recharged regularly. In addition, there are several items on any rv that do not run on battery(s) and require a generator when dry-camping. (i.e. TV, DVD, Microwave, Power Outlets, A/C) If you require Air Conditioning in a location without power, you will need a generator with a minimum of 3000 watts

Does CampTime rent portable generators?
CampTime Rentals also rents Honda EU2200i generators, if needed. This generator is large enough to run all onboard accessories except for air-conditioning. The EU2200i is one of the quietest generator available, can run up to 8hrs on a gallon of gas, and rents for $40/night. Attempting to dry-camp without a generator will cause permanent damage to the onboard batteries, resulting in additional charges

Does CampTime allow dogs?
While we do allow dogs (at no additional cost) any pet damages and/or additional cleaning costs incurred will be billed to the primary renter

How do Progressive Discounts work & are they valid on Holidays?
Once the (2) night booking minimum is met, all additional nights are then billed at approximately 50% of our standard rate. This discounted rate progressively lowers your overall nightly cost with each additional night booked. 
On certain Holidays there is a (3) night booking minimum, but the same discounted rate will still apply after the third night booked. Below is the list of the Holidays that currently apply:                                   
​

-Presidents Day Weekend
-Easter Week
-Memorial Weekend
-July 1st-5th
-Labor Day Weekend
-Thanksgiving Week
-December 23rd - January 1st


How does Free Express Drop-Off service work?
As an added convenience for Oceano Dunes and Pismo State Beach campers (with their own tow vehicles) we now offer Free Drop-Off & Pick-Up services that puts you within steps of the local state parks. State Parks do not allow delivery companies "inside" their park and Free Express Drop-Off and Pick-Up helps make staying in these locations much easier for renters. Additional services are not included with Free Express Drop-Off and Pick-Up services (2-5/16" Ball Required)

Am I responsible for any cleaning?
Each rental trailer is extensively cleaned (inside & out) prior to each use. That said, all rental trailers should be reasonably clean upon return. We do not charge additional cleaning fees unless your rental is returned excessively dirty. All dishes should be cleaned, trash should be removed, counters and table wiped off, and floors swept

  
How much is delivery?
Local deliveries are currently billed at $149, this applies to Pismo Beach parks and also includes Lopez Lake Campground. All delivery pricing is round-trip, and includes full set-up, leveling, break-down, flushing of wastetanks afterwards, and all propane usage during your stay. Please provide your exact delivery location to receive an accurate delivery quote


How do I learn to use the travel trailer?
CampTime Rentals provides an initial orientation at the time of delivery. This orientation usually takes about (30) minutes & helps the renters to get familiar with the operations of their particular rental trailer

How do I pay for my rental?
CampTime Rentals requires that all payment be done with a major credit card or cash. We accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover Card. We do NOT accept prepaid/gift cards for rental charges or damage deposits at time of pickup. The credit card used must be in the name of the primary renter, and both must be present at pick-up. Payment by check is not accepted. A credit card is required for refundable damage deposit(s)

Is insurance required for towing?
While we do not require any additional insurance, you are solely responsible for all damage or loss to yourself, your property, the rental property, and/or others. When picking up a trailer you must provide a current drivers license and insurance card covering you and the vehicle you are driving

What if I need to reschedule or cancel my trip?
Although all reservation deposits are non-refundable, CampTime Rentals does allow for reservation deposits to be transferred at no cost to the customer, for up to (12) months from the date of payment, provided all changes are made no sooner than (14) days from the original arrival date. Any cancellations or scheduling changes made within (14) days of your original arrival date will be subject to a $125 surcharge

​
What constitutes a rental day?
Rental cost is billed by the night, each night constitutes one rental day

How long will the water last when dry-camping?
CampTime Rentals outfits all rental trailers with dual freshwater tanks to make dry-camping easier but different people will use this water at a different pace. There are several factors that will determine how long your water supply will last including the number of people, duration of showers, sink use, etc... As a general rule when dry-camping, all onboard resources (water, battery power, and propane) should be considered precious, and must be conserved to keep all onboard systems functioning during your stay

Is it safe to drink water from the fresh water tank?
We do not recommend it. It is difficult to know if the water is potable when filling the tank at a variety of locations. We recommend using bottled water for drinking and cooking. The water from the onboard tank is fine for cleaning & bathing

How do I know what size space to reserve for my rental?
All trailer sizes are listed in overall length to best determine the size campsite required. All measurements already include 4ft for the tongue of the trailer

​How much does it cost for a campsite?
Campsites vary depending on location and site amenities but generally range between $10 and $60 per night. CampTime Rentals is not responsible for any campsite reservations and recommends you make campsite and trailer reservations several months in advance to help ensure availability.
