Once you've decided on a coach and your travel dates, give us a call or email us at rustysilverwings@aol.com. To reserve the coach we'll need your $500 deposit, and we need reservations and all administrative "stuff" taken care of at least ten days before rental pickup...but please, 30 days gives us more time=less rush!! . If you wish, download our RESERVATION form and return...please click here.

We often can discount rentals based on the length of your use. All payments will need to be made at least ten days before pickup. There is a $1000 security deposit ($1500 with the reservation deposit) which is refunded within five to ten days of your satisfactory return of the coach.

The coach is provided fully fueled, and renters will return the coach refueled, clean & tidy and ready for the next rental. We have housekeeping folks at local RV facilities who can take care of interior and exterior cleaning if you wish, assuming normal usage, of course. Turn the coach in dirty, they give you a mean stare and then charge $140 (if you selected the optional prepaid cleaning service) or actual time for the cleanup. Guests must note that winter conditions can make it impossible to have the coach exterior spotless...we simply can't wash in freezing weather, but the interior will be fresh and spotless!

Insurance is often provided through a free binder from your own insurance carrier, but if they don't offer that service we have arrangements made with MBA Insurance for a daily policy. We don't provide insurance, but MBA's costs are quite nominal. Roadside hazards are a responsibility of the renter, and we recommend Good Sam Platinum Roadside Assistance plan to make sure a flat tire, lock out or other difficulty won't let such troubles ruin your trip.

In many cases we can provide the "kitchen kit" for your trip, which will include pretty much everything a group of four will need. Arrangements can be made for linens if you wish, at an extra charge.
Renting your coach from the Carter family is fast, easy and inexpensive.


You'll be given an orientation when you arrive to get your coach. This will cover the various plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical systems of the coach. You'll have an opportunity to test-drive the coach if you wish, and the procedure should take about an hour. The refrigerator will already be cold. Arrive early to load your personal belongings!

The forms necessary for a rental will be sent ahead of your pick-up, and will include our smoking & pets letter, a credit card authorization for payment of unexpected charges, and the various insurance and driver's license forms. At pickup you will review, then sign the rental agreement and the orientation walk-through. And you're off!
