El Monte RV Salutes Military Families!
We know that military families vacation time is precious and hard to come by. We'd also like you to know how much we appreciate your service to our country.
For military personnel, our normal discount is 10%, but for pickups between September 10th to December 15, we're offering a 15% discount! This is good at any location and for any unit type.
Go local or travel to another state, you'll thank yourself for getting out of town! Whether you enjoy the beach, mountains or a favorite amusement park, we've got a wide variety of vehicles from which to choose. From the economical 22' class C to the luxurious diesel pusher, we're sure to have what you're looking for. And, one of the great things about a motorhome vacation is you've got vehicle, hotel and restaurant all rolled into one!
Erica Peña-Vest from GuideToMilitaryTravel.com and her family just took their first RV vacation at Anaheim Resort RV Park and LOVED it!
Make plans to get away now! You'll be glad you did!

RV Vacation Idea:
Great Sand Dunes National Park
Colorado
An area rich in history, it is also diverse in it's landscape. Great Sand Dunes National Park has everything from the tallest sand dunes in North America to alpine lakes, forests, and six peaks over 13,000 feet in elevation.
Great Sand Dunes was made a National Monument in 1932 by President Herbert Hoover. Congress expanded the area and made the area a National Park in 2004, and today the park covers approximately 150,000 acres.
The park offers sand and water sports, birding watching, hiking, photography, and more. For more information on activities, please visit their site.
There are campgrounds within the park. Check out their page on camping for more information.
The closest El Monte RV rental location is in Louviers, CO (southwest Denver). However, if starting your trip from another location is more convenient, we also have many other rental offices, so please visit our locations map to find a location that may be more suitable.

 Terra Pass Carbon Offset Option
We believe in Green RV'ing! El Monte RV offers customers a way to offset the carbon emissions from their motorhome vacation by requesting the carbon offset option. This option is completely voluntary and is a very nominal fee. We encourage you to consider this when booking your trip!
You can request the carbon offset option when you reserve via the call center, or when picking up at the rental counter. It's easy, affordable, and every cent of this nominal fee goes straight to Terra Pass to fund various carbon-offsetting programs.
El Monte RV Cares!
