We definitely had a 5-star experience with Alicia and her wonderful R-Pod that we used for 4 nights at a reunion! Alicia with her friendly disposition explained everything to us and made our trip easy, worry-free and pleasant! We were so happy our little Doodle was welcomed to go along as well! Thanks again Alicia, we’re so happy to have found you and your R-Pod for our fun camping adventure!! We highly recommend booking with Alicia, which we hope to do again soon! Happy R-Podding! :)

As first-time renters, AJ provided us a great experience with her Escape Pod. We, including our pet Corgi, enjoyed the comfort and safety of her RV. Looking forward to next time.

Visit our FAQ How it works

Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?

I am very flexible. As long as pick-up is during daylight hours, I will work with you on the time. If the booking is a weekday delivery, it will be completed after 4:00pm. If the booking is a weekend delivery, the delivery time is flexible.

Q.Can my vehicle tow the Escape Pod?

The best way to find out if your vehicle has the proper towing capacity is to contact your dealer. If your vehicle cannot tow a minimum of 3500lbs, you will need to find a different vehicle to rent to Escape Pod or request delivery.

Q.My vehicle already has a tow package. Why do I need a brake controller?

The Escape Pod is equipped with electric brakes. The total GVW of the Pod exceeds 2998lbs, and for safety reasons a brake controller is required to tow the Pod. Just because your vehicle can tow the pod, does not mean it will have as easy as a time stopping the Pod. Electric brakes ensure adequate power and control are assisting to bring the weight of the trailer (and the towing vehicle) to a complete stop.
