RecommendationsCLEANING
Interior Cleaning Fee $75 - Trailer is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized in between renters and we use EPA approved disinfectants against Covid-19, including bathroom, floors, all surfaces and bedding. If camper is returned clean, only the $75 fee will apply. Extreme dirt will increase this fee based on severity. Excessive interior grime, stains, dirt or smoke damage requiring deep cleaning will incur additional fees for supplies and/or required contracted cleaning services.
Exterior Washing Fee – No initial fee. Keep in mind that campers are large and washing them is not easy. If the camper exterior requires washing upon return (extreme dirt and bugs will incur this extra fee) an additional fee of $75 will be deducted from Security Deposit.PROPANE
Please return the Pod with both propane tanks full. Do not have time to refill? We will refill them for $40 per tank, which will be deducted from Security Deposit.
SEPTIC
Waste (black and gray water) tanks must be emptied, rinsed and cleaned out prior to return, if not, additional fees apply. You can select add-ons during the booking process if you would like these services included in your reservation for $75. Run out of time or decide you don't want to dump the septic tanks at the end of your trip? Bring them back full and we'll dump them for you for $100, which will be deducted from Security Deposit.
LATE FEE
What if I am late to bring the trailer back? Contact us and we can discuss the circumstance. Late fee is usually $65 an hour. In addition, if the late return interferes with another booking, the $65 per hour fee will have an additional $125 administrative fee which will be deducted from your Security Deposit as we will have to reimburse the renters who expected to have a trailer ready that day!
DELIVERY
Do not have a tow vehicle? We will tow the trailer to your home or nearby destination for an additional fee if you are unable to tow, or even if you’re just not comfortable towing on your own, within approximately 75 miles of our storage location (Seattle, WA).

The R-Pod was a newer version of a model that we owned a few years ago, so was very familar to us and we knew how to be comfortable in it. It was a fine base for us while we explored the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park.

This was our inaugural RV experience. Everything went very well. David did a terrific job of explaining every detail to us before our trip. Made it a seamless first journey. The R-Pod was extremely comfortable and easy to "live" in. Loved it!
