Travel Trailer/Truck Rental in Wyoming

[TM0218]

Hey all, looking to plan a WY antelope hunt this year but instead of doing an Air BnB I thought it might be cool to rent a travel trailer and do some camping. We're flying from Tampa FL so we'll have to rent a truck but I was wondering if anyone has done anything like this? Renting a truck is easy, renting a travel trailer is easy, the difficulty comes from being able to plan on the ability/allowance to tow with said rental truck. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

There are places that rent camping equipment. That might be easier unless you are familiar with RVs.

I'd reach out to the people renting the travel trailer and find out what their requirements are and make sure the truck meets those requirements. Also, you'll need a draw bar and maybe weight distribution hitch, so ask the trailer rental place about those as well. Finally, ask if the rental trailer comes with everything you need to hookup, dump etc and will it be good to go for the temperatures you expect.

Most rental trucks I’ve seen don’t have hitches. Unless you get the Home Depot ones.

There are places that rent regular pickups.

I've looked into it, most places you can rent from strictly forbid towing even if the truck has a hitch.

I looked into this a few years ago. The real issue was vehicle insurance. My insurvance was void if I tried to tow a travel trailer with a rental vehicle. An RV might be a better way to go or maybe your insurance wil still cover you.
