COVID-19 POLICIES
These are unprecedented times, which will continue to develop on a daily basis. We want to provide you with as much guidance as possible going forward, while also following the advice of the advisories from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to stay on top of their safety measures and travel requirements, both domestically and internationally.
We ask that you do the same, and always follow the guidance of your federal, state, and local public health officials to stay safe and healthy.
To help with your travel decision and provide additional information regarding trips for the 2020 season, we’ve compiled a list of answers to the most common questions we’re hearing from our owners and renters, plus some helpful resources for you to have at your fingertips.
Can I still take an rvGL vacation?
Absolutely. Recreational vehicles, motorhomes, and campervans are great vacations— no crowded airports, no bustling train stations—just you, the open road, and a home to call your own. Plus spending time outdoors can be helpful for social distancing and letting you embark on your adventure with peace of mind whether that means a weekend in nature, a staycation to just get out of the house, or a way to work on the road. We encourage you to keep an eye on travel requirements being issued by authorities to ensure you’re complying with those recommendations. It’s our goal to continue to facilitate as many trips as possible this season
Where can I go in my RV?
A unique benefit of road travel is that you choose where you go, including destinations and campsites that are full of fresh air and nature, away from groups of people, and away from any areas of health concern. Our owners have many helpful suggestions of great campgrounds in their area which are less crowded and make for an amazing experience. Check-in with them for their recommendations.
HOW RV gREAT LAKES RVS ARE CLEANED
RV Great Lakes is required to meet high standards of safety and cleanliness, which includes cleaning their vehicles with disinfectant and antibacterial/antiviral cleaner before and after each rental to help prevent the spread of germs between travelers. We advise that they wipe down all hard surfaces with these cleaners, paying special attention to areas travelers touch often such as seats, steering wheels, tables, counters and door handles. Also, if they provide linens, they wash those between trips.
