If you rent an RV, you MUST return it
A cautionary tale...

An article by GLENN E. RICE - The Kansas City Star
 
The Kansas City Star article (March 11, 2010)
-
A man from the Czech Republic was sentenced today in Platte County to three years in prison for failing to return an $80,000 recreational vehicle he had rented.

Milos Gaspar, 44, was convicted in January of failure to return rental property after authorities found him in Belize aboard a luxury yacht, which, authorities said, Gaspar also had rented and failed to return.

In August 2002, prosecutors said, Gaspar rented a 1999 Coachman Santara 36-foot RV from Premier Coach Services in Riverside. He paid the $1,554.37 rental fee with a check, but the check did not clear the bank and Gaspar never returned the RV, said Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd.

At the sentencing, prosecutors said that in April 2006, authorities found Gaspar in the Canary Islands. He had rented a 41-foot Lagoon 410 catamaran and failed to return it. The FBI unsuccessfully sought to extradite Gaspar at that time.

In February 2009, Gaspar was arrested in Belize aboard a $500,000 yacht he had rented and failed to return.

Gaspar was expelled from Belize on April 17, 2009. With assistance from the FBI, Gaspar was arrested at a Houston airport on a Platte County warrant, Zahnd said.

Gaspar has remained in the Platte County jail since his return.

D.R.Too bad this model or somthing comparable is no longer in Coachmen's new line up after 2008. At 13 feet and under 3000lbs, my villager could pull it, but their new line of ultra lights are too heavy. Defeats the purpose of being called an ultra light...I'll have to look for a different brand of "lite".Re: Coachmen Capri Micro

N. PowersWe own a Serrano. It is working out great. Lots of 'teething' problems as it was an early one off the line, but the layout, driving experience, size, storage, and living experience have been great. The engine is not at all noisy at speed, but you will get some noise cold and when accelerating. Plenty powerful out here in the mountains (better than our Sprinter class C), but I wish the downhill braking was a little better. We have tall mountains in Colorado! I'd recommend to anyone looking for a smaller but very livable class A. But chose a good dealer as they will be fixing lots of little things early on.Re: Four Winds Serrano class A motorhome

JRMellWe also purchased a 2009 Prism M230 at the end of 2009. We are very pleased with it and have made some modifications such as replacing the pull out sofa with a fold down version thats bigger and gives you some room to walk by the foot of the bed. We also replaced the other sofa with a couple of swivel chairs and a table in between. Some doors were removed to open up the back a bit. We had the same experience at the dealer referenced by HHg and were quite surprised to find the mattress missing from the bed out first night out. We are also towing a SMART car behind this baby and are loving it. Re: Coachmen Prism class C motorhome
Happy CamperWe just bought the 2011 Outback 210RS and love it! Absolutely no complaints. Plenty of storage and useful add ons, like the laundry bin/cabinet, outdoor TV hook up and fold up lower bunk with outside access.Re: Keystone Outback travel trailer
SteveI have a 2010 fifth wheel. We had a few issues with the slides. They would not open for a few days. They were in sleep mode. Called the factory and they advised what to do. I thought this problem was going to tie up our vacation but it was minor. Just tap the switches for the slide out and it works. No repair. Everything is excellent and we love it. This is the first Jayco that we owned. Use moth balls to avoid mice and wall sensor. Re: Jayco Eagle fifth wheel

Write me onebuckley@yahoo.com Re: Aliner folding camping trailer
triciaSince the company is going out of business-do you all foresee not being able to acquire parts? Also, does this make our HiLo less valuable? Has anyone heard if the company will be sold?Re: Hi-Lo TowLite 15T small travel trailer
PQBYou can pay a lot more money for a fancier version of this on the 2500 or particularly the 3500 chassis. But the 2500 chassis ERA is good value and good enough - everything about this ERA RT works well for 2 adults and 2 little kids on roadtrips so long as we don't want to live in it or try to pile too much weight in it. Even with the storage cabinet, it's a little light on luggage space, so don't forget the Thule hitch mounted trunk which will fit without an extender. We think the Sprinter may be the most competent vehicle ever produced even in the "industrial" version. You have to drive it to believe it. Re: Winnebago ERA class B motorhome

MikeI visited the Northstar factory in Iowa 2 weeks ago. Looked at everything they had. Got the tour of the factory with the owner and saw how they were built from start to finish. I was pretty impressed and will be ordering one this weekend. I opted for the Adventurer 8.5 since it has a larger bathroom and I have a heavy duty truck that will easily handle the weight. The Freedom is pretty sweet too.Re: Northstar Freedom truck camper

BobThere are no dates on these comments. How do I know if they are recent or ancient? Also, I was told that T@B trailers are no longer made. Is that true?Re: TAB teardrop trailer
Kris HillWe are listed below somewhere looking to trade our 16 for a 13 footer 07 or more. We have everything you seem to be looking for except a shower. No grey tank either, but one could retro fit. Feel free to contact. Here in WI. kriskath@verizon.netRe: Scamp small travel trailer
KLFWe have a 13 ft Scamp bought new in 2007 and are thinking about either getting a deluxe 16' Scamp built to our specifics, or an Rpod. Here are some comments if anyone would like to know. NO storage. We use the bunks as shelves. The dinette bed does not sleep two average sized adults comfortably. My husband and I have to sleep head to foot. If you are large people, wide or tall, you will find the sleeping arrangements inadequate and unromantic! Both of us are under 6 feet tall and under 140 lbs. 12 gallon water tank is not much. Manual pump is a piece of junk. Bed cushions are rocklike - we put a 5 inch memory foam topper on the bed so we didn't ache every morning. Very low clearance. If you do back roads at all, you'll have to crawl along. PROS: This is EASY to tow. We've towed it with a Honda Element and a Subaru Outback. Heats quickly with a tiny space heater. Great conversation starter. Porta pottie works fine for us. We charge with a solar panel so can have fan and lights when needed. Refrigerator and stove use very little LP. When we bought the Scamp, weight was the most important factor. We have a bigger tow vehicle now and are looking for a bit more comfort and convenience, like a shower, A/C, and a BED we like. Re: Scamp small travel trailer
KLFHave any of you owned a Scamp before the R-pod? We have a Scamp 13 footer but it lacks storage in a big way. We use the bunk beds as shelves. I'd like to know how you think they compare. We tow with a Chev Silverado but have also towed with Honda Element and Subaru Outback, no problems.Re: R-Pod Ultra Lite travel trailer
