2019 WRTR Camper rentals

[Ready2go]

Hi everyone! I am new here. I am not on the road yet, but strongly considering it and researching everything I can.  I am interested in going to the 2019 WRTR but I live in Oregon.  So I would have to fly into Phoenix probably the closest airport, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any camper rentals there that I could take and do a practice run at the WRTR? I will do some online research, but thought someone might have some knowledge of a place that I could rent maybe a class C or truck and trailer for the RTR.  

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I've known more than a few people to rent a cargo van or U-Haul truck and throw a sleeping bad, a buckrt and a camp stove in it. Much cheaper than renting an RV.

There is a website where people who own an RV list their RVs for rent. This is similar to a BNB type of website where homeowners rent out their place for short term stays except you get to drive their 2nd home around. You go to the website, register, search on the dates and the location. See if there is anything interesting. If so then you can reserve it for that time period. Ourdoorsy is a real deal, it has been around for a while, my son used to list his airstream on it. He has even written articles for their website.

Craigslist usually has many ads for RV rentals... you need to be careful though, there are always scam artists out there. If the deal looks too good to be true, it usually is a scam. I would also consider renting a minivan or station wagon if you may already have a good sleeping bag and air mattress... even buying a small camping stove and other camping items might still be cheaper with a car rental than an RV rental.

they are not renting any campervans in Phoenix until after May of 2019.  Looks like they have not yet established a rental facility there .
