Real reviews from real festival and event guests.
“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. It was a 4 day festival in the desert and everything was perfect. Thank you Mike and our staff for making this experience flawless and amazing. I will definitely be recommending you to everyone.”
“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!”

SSBD camps at Lake Perris. The festival has a preferred RV rental vendor with early drop-off rights — every other RV arrives with its renter during gate hours.
Rules checked 2026-09-29. Organizers update rules every year — confirm on the official event site before you go.
Only the festival's preferred vendor can drop RVs off early. With any other rental, you arrive with the RV during gate hours — Stress Free RVs rents drivable units for exactly that.
Up to 40 feet. RV sites have 30-amp power and water, and generators may run 10 am – 10 pm.
Moreno Beach inside Lake Perris State Recreation Area in Perris, CA, roughly an hour and fifteen minutes from our Sycuan Market pickup in El Cajon.
Both packages include unlimited mileage, a generator, early start, late return, a starter supply kit, fresh water tanks, full gas and full propane at the start, tutorial orientation, inspections, a digital guidebook, and support throughout your trip. Taxes and commercial insurance ($10-$35/day) are added at checkout.
The XL Premium Travel Trailer (from $999) is the value play for groups who want maximum living space at camp. The drivable Class C (from $1,499) is the simplest trip: pick up in El Cajon, drive to the lake, park once. Both have full kitchens and 3-piece bathrooms.
Yes, it is an all-ages festival with workshops, art, and beach programming alongside the music. Our Class C bunkhouse layouts work well for families and groups.
Your package window is September 24-28. Early start is included so you can load up Thursday, and campers exit the park by 3pm Monday September 28 with your late return already built in.
Check the festival camping pass options when you buy tickets. SSBD sells camping and vehicle access passes through its ticketing page, and RV camping requires the appropriate pass per festival rules.
Free cancellation within 24 hours of booking (except reservations made within 48 hours of pickup). Refundable line items are returned 30+ days out; nightly rates are non-refundable. No refunds within 14 days of pickup.
Before Your Trip
Five action items to complete and four documents to review before your check-in date.
Complete these five steps before your check-in date for a smooth pickup.
Complete pre-trip information
Submit your trip acceptance form and sign the Supplemental Rental Agreement (SRA) before your check-in date.
Read the digital guidebook
Review the Stress Free Man Comic Guidebook covering pre-trip checklist, towing, leveling, slide-outs, waste, and end-of-trip.
Confirm insurance coverage
Submit your declarations page (Use Your Own) or confirm your selection of MBA Commercial Coverage and Stress Free Shield at booking.
Confirm your arrival time
Standard pickup is 3:00 PM. Reach out 24 to 48 hours before to confirm. Earlier arrivals are possible with the Early Start add-on.

On arrival, you and our staff will walk through the unit together. The signed inspection form documents the unit's condition at check-in.
Download, review, and save these four documents. They form the complete legal framework for every rental.

Master legal terms governing every rental.
Cancellation Policy
24-hour grace, 30+ day refund window, 14-day cutoff.
Rental Agreement

On the Road
Best practices and common mistakes to avoid while you're out with the unit.
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.
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
Six steps to a clean return — most renters never see additional charges when these are completed.
Six steps to wrap up your trip and keep your security deposit intact.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
Walk through the unit with our staff, confirm condition, sign the trip-end inspection form. This is what releases your security deposit hold.
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.
Public Rates
Every fee we may charge, published up front — no surprises.
