Phoenix, Tucson, and Mesa are the three most popular RV rental destinations. As RVing is something of a region-wide passion in Arizona, there are hundreds of available styles on the rental market. They tend toward the larger models, thanks to the wide-open spaces prevalent in the Southwest.
Class C styles abound, offering a compact and easily maneuverable footprint that starts at around $90 per night. A full-sized Class A motor home can cost $200 per night or more. The larger fifth-wheel style begins at $150 per night.
