Which RV rental company should I choose
 
We are getting ready to rent an RV for a trip to Alaska in August.

I would like to know if anyone has used Great Alaskan Holidays or Alaska Travel Adventures. If so, what were the pros and cons of each? Did you have a good experience with them.

Thank you.

We had a good experience with Great Alaskan in 2002

GAH was awesome. We will definitely use them again. I would say by far they are the company you will hear the most about. I've never heard anything bad about them. Very professional.

www.rv.net/forums is a great forum for RV'ing.

Give yourself plenty of time to pick it up. It will take a little time to check in, watch their required video, get to your RV and pack it with any extras like chairs you have rented. You will want to do some grocery shopping before you leave town too. Expect grocery store security to come to your RV and ask your intentions. People used to practically live in all the parking lots--I've actually seen picket fences and potted plants. Most have seriously cut that out. If you need to stay in one of the lots the first or last night, there are still a few parking lots that allow it. The closest RV park is several miles out of town, I think on the north end.
