The New Year is here and with that comes a new chance for you to set off on RVing adventures. Whether you’re a first-time RVer or have hit the road many times — we’ve got the rigs for rent that’ll help you plan some fun in 2023.

We know this because we dug into our numbers and found our top rigs that folks are loving in each region. We’re talking campervans, travel trailers, and more to help you hit your adventuring resolutions this year.

Our rankings are based on the number of 5-star reviews these campers received. Let’s jump right into what we found so you can rent some of our favorite rigs.

Central Region: Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Michigan

The Midwest is a majorly underrated RVing destination that’s also one of the most affordable and interesting places to roll in a rig. Whether you shoot for the Great Lakes, Texas Hill Country, or anywhere in between, you’re bound to find adventure in the central United States.

These are our favorite RV rentals in this zone:

  1. Amelia Bedelia Winnebago Campervan (Tennessee) — Renters love this rig because it’s easy to drive, spacious, and fuel-efficient. Folks also have high praise for the customer service offered by Amelia’s owner. This campervan is the perfect fit for a family vacay, long road trip, or anything in between.

  1. NuCamp T@B Teardrop (Michigan) — T@B teardrops are wildly popular because they can be towed by just about any vehicle that’s not a compact (always check your car’s owner’s manual to be sure what you can/can’t tow). This particular teardrop is managed by an uber-friendly owner who’ll direct you to magnificent sites in his area — such as Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, The Great Lakes, and more.

Mountain West: Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico

This region features some of the best opportunities for camping on public lands and within national parks. Check out the chariots we have on tap there:

  1. 2014 Thor Motor Coach Chateau Citation (New Mexico) — This Mercedes Class C is spacious yet drives like a car. It’s a diesel, so it gets relatively awesome gas mileage for a rig of its size (15 MPG).

    One of the best features of this RV is that it measures just 25 feet in length. That means it’ll fit in the tight campsites at national parks like Great Sand Dunes, White Sands, and Mesa Verde.

This Canadian province is one of our top regions for people renting RVs. That’s probably because renting here opens the door to some of the world’s best natural and urban oases.

West Coast: California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington

The West Coast and the Pacific Northwest (PNW) pack some seriously awesome natural wonders into one region. That’s probably why many of our most popular rigs in the whole country are housed here. Here are the favs:

  1. 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter – The Sand Shark – Adventure Wagon (California) — This campervan rental is based in San Diego, giving you easy access to some of the best beaches, skiing, and adventuring that California has to offer.

    This is a true adventure van in the sense that it provides space for gear and sleeping only. But that seems to be a perfect fit for the 80+ renters who’ve rewarded this rig with 5-star reviews.

  1. Arcadia – Arizona Camper Van — This campervan is one of the raddest we’ve ever seen. It even features an indoor shower, kitchen area, and an uber comfy + spacious bed. All of these things can be hard to come by in campervans, but Arcadia packs it all in one super fun package.

    Renters praised how easy it was to drive and how many spots they could reach from its Phoenix base.

  1. Roadtrek Simplicity 19-foot Promaster (like Sprinter) (Oregon) — Roadtrek is a legendary brand that’s been building campervans since before campervans were ‘rad’. This one packs an ample kitchen, spacious sleeping quarters, and full bathroom in a nimble package.
