“It was my first time renting an RV and they could not have made it any easier. They were polite, professional, and very accommodating. The RV was perfect for the event I attended.

Real reviews from real festival and event guests.
“I got a chance to finally book a trailer and loved the experience start to finish. We received top tier service and they always made it a point to treat people the right way, the unit worked out great and everything went as smooth as can be! I would highly recommend giving Stress Free RVs a chance to host your next trip.”
“Rented a trailer for a camping weekend and everything went really well. Was able to pickup trailer and everything worked out well for the weekend. Generator worked good to power the AC and keep everything cool even though we were camping in the desert heat with no shade. Definitely will rent from again.”
“First time towing an RV, and Michael and his staff talked me through the hard parts, turned out to be easier than I thought. Will definitely do it again. Thanks”
“Good selection of clean RVs and great staff who definitely made my trip stress free. Would recommend to find your home away from home.”
“I rented from Stress Free RVs, and I had an amazing time. The RV was clean and functioned properly. They were easy and friendly to deal with, I will use them again for my next vacation.”
“Great experience from start to finish. They did an awesome job making everything smooth and simple. Definitely going to use again and you should too!”
“These guys are the real deal! I have a strong need for trailers in the entertainment industry. We had an A/C go out in the middle of a photo shoot. I called Mike and him and Carmen were there in no time to diagnose the issue and have us up and running in no time. Malfunctions are expected, we didn't expect the expeditious reparation we received from Stress Free. Deal with the pro's, thanks Mike and Carmen!”
“What an amazing experience we had. We lost our home in a hurricane and the owner Mike went above and beyond the call to make us feel at home. The unit was immaculate. Stocked, clean and ready for anything we needed. Customer service was unbeatable and it made a very difficult time in our lives a world easier. I would recommend this company a hundred times over.”
“We had another rental company cancel on us the day before our trip and Stress Free was able to put something together for us last minute! I interacted directly with the owner as well as multiple staff members. Everyone I spoke with was friendly, professional, and helpful. It was clearly important to them that my family and I have a great time on our vacation, which we did!”
“A group of 3 of us rented an RV for EDC Las Vegas. The RV was delivered on-time and was clean. The staff explained everything to us before we left on our trip. We did dry camping with the on-board generator for power and everything worked well. The A/C unit cooled down the RV in minutes. It made camping for EDC a lot more fun.”
“After planning an extensive trip in our rental RV travelling from the UK, the RV we had booked was no longer available as it had been damaged the day before. Mike substituted our original A Class for another newer model at no additional charge. Off we went on our 5 week 2300 mile adventure. The RV was faultless, we had a brilliant experience. Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience Mike!”

The Glamis Halloween RV Guide
Halloween weekend is the biggest weekend of the year at the Imperial Sand Dunes. It is dry camping on public land — no hookups, no services — so the RV you bring is your power, water and base camp.
The rules
- Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area permits are required from October 1 through April 15 (weekly or season permits; buying in advance costs less than on site). (BLM El Centro Field Office)
- Camping is dry (boondocking): no water, sewer or power hookups. Bring all water in and haul all waste out. (BLM)
- Holiday weekends draw very large crowds; arrive early to claim space for a group camp. (SFR experience)
How Stress Free RVs works within them
- Self-contained units with on-board or portable generators, full fresh-water tanks and empty holding tanks at the start.
- Toy haulers for your sand toys, plus trailers and motorhomes for the rest of your group.
- Pick up at our meeting location, Sycuan Market in El Cajon, or we deliver and set up your group camp and pick up after the weekend.
- Group blocks: 3+ units get one coordinated delivery and one point of contact.
Rules checked 2026-09-29. Organizers update rules every year — confirm on the official event site before you go.
Glamis Halloween RV Rental FAQs

Yes. The BLM requires an Imperial Sand Dunes permit from October 1 through April 15. Buy it in advance — it costs less than buying on site.
Are there hookups at Glamis?
No. Glamis is dry camping on public land. Our units arrive with full fresh water and empty tanks, and a generator for power.

How do I handle water and waste when dry camping?
Plan for all three: fresh water, propane, and waste. Every rental leaves with full water and propane; our LUDIFY services cover pre-trip fresh water fill and post-trip propane refill and waste tank service.
Is there cell service?
Limited and unreliable. Unlimited Wi-Fi via Starlink is strongly recommended for any rental at Glamis.

On the Road
During Your Trip
Best practices and common mistakes to avoid while you're out with the unit.
Do
Best practices for a smooth trip
-
Read, review, and follow the general rules
Your guidebook + the SRA cover everything you need — operating procedures, prohibited destinations, occupancy limits, and trip-specific guidance.
-
Call or message us in real time
Anything feels off? Reach out immediately — day or night. Real-time communication helps us help you and often prevents larger issues.
-
Be safe, have fun
You're on vacation. Drive within posted limits, secure loose items before moving, and prioritize rest. The unit is built to handle the trip — focus on the experience.
-
Turn off all items when not in use
Lights, A/C, generator, fans, water pump, and propane appliances. Conserves battery, extends propane, and avoids wear on systems you may need later.
Don't
Avoid these common mistakes
-
Don't leave the awning open when not underneath it
Wind gusts can flip or break awnings in seconds. If you're not actively under it — especially overnight or during weather — retract it.
-
Don't leave windows or vents open
When you leave the unit unattended, close windows and roof vents. Prevents weather damage, dust intrusion, theft, and pest entry.
Need help right now?
Call us immediately — day or night. Real-time communication helps us help you.
Returning the RV
Post-Trip Checklist
Six steps to a clean return — most renters never see additional charges when these are completed.
Return Checklist
Six steps to wrap up your trip and keep your security deposit intact.
Clean the unit and remove all personal belongings
Sweep, wipe down surfaces, take out trash, and double-check storage cabinets. We do a full turnover cleaning — your job is to leave it in reasonable condition.
Note any issues and communicate with our staff
Anything broke or stopped working during the trip? Tell us at return. Helps us address it before the next renter and keeps the inspection process honest.
Empty and flush waste tanks + water
Black tank → gray tank → fresh water. Use a designated dump station — never on the side of the road. (Skip this step if you purchased the Empty and Flush Waste Tanks add-on; we'll handle it.)
Refill propane and refuel
Return propane and fuel to the levels documented at trip start. Saves you the per-gallon refueling charge ($20/gal + labor) listed in Posted Rates.
Conduct trip-end inspection
Walk through the unit with our staff, confirm condition, sign the trip-end inspection form. This is what releases your security deposit hold.
Leave a 5-star review (and tell us privately what to improve)
Public reviews help other renters find us. Private feedback helps us improve. We genuinely want both — separately, so honest critique never costs you a star.
A clean return means no extra charges. If the unit needs additional cleaning beyond standard turnover, the labor rate from Posted Rates applies — most renters complete the steps above and never see those charges.
