I know a few of you might like this idea as much as I do! 😋 🔥

Hi friends! I just wanted to say again how incredibly appreciative I am of all of you!

I’ve always tried to be transparent, even when it may not be the “best business move,” because this business was built by me from the ground up over the last four years and it means so much to me. Honestly, my favorite part has always been the people. Meeting so many wonderful families and being part of your adventures is what fueled me to keep growing.

As many of you know, our family recently had to move out of state due to some big life changes. While it has been incredibly difficult personally, I made the decision to keep the business running because I truly did not want to cancel trips or let people down.

I’m doing everything I can to keep things operating smoothly from afar, and I’m beyond grateful for the amazing support from people back home who have stepped in to help. That said, there have definitely been some growing pains along the way.

Please know I’m doing my absolute best behind the scenes. I’m currently managing the business remotely while also raising and homeschooling our four kids, supporting my husband through a new career transition, and selling our home in Minnesota. It’s a lot to juggle, but I care deeply about this business and the experience our renters have.

Thank you to everyone who has shown kindness, patience, and support through this transition. It truly means more than you know. ❤️

Hi friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and, most importantly, heartfelt thanks to those and their families who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸

Calls and emails are picking up on the reservation side, and I wanted to address a few things.

First, I do my very best to keep our rental prices reasonable. I’m also a very transparent person, and I think it’s helpful for people to understand what goes into running a small RV rental business. The insurance alone is significant, and then there’s storage, maintenance, dumping, stocking supplies, fuel, truck expenses, cleaning, and repairs. It adds up quickly, especially when services need to be hired out.

One alternative, of course, is buying your own rig. And for some families, that makes perfect sense. But owning a travel trailer comes with plenty of expenses too.

Typical costs of owning a travel trailer:

💰 Monthly payment:
$300 to $700+
(depending on trailer price, down payment, and financing)

🛡️ Insurance:
$300 to $1,000+ per year

🏠 Storage (if you don’t have space at home):
$50 to $200+ per month

🚛 Tow vehicle expenses:
A larger truck or SUV may be needed, often adding $500 to $1,000+ per month in vehicle payments, plus higher fuel costs

⛽ Fuel:
Towing can cut gas mileage in half. Weekend trips can easily add $100 to $300+ in fuel.

🔧 Maintenance & repairs:
Winterizing, dewinterizing, roof inspections, tire replacement, batteries, appliance repairs, and those unexpected fixes… often $500 to $2,000+ per year

🧽 Cleaning & stocking supplies:
Toilet paper, chemicals, linens, cookware, propane, paper goods, cleaning products, and replacement items

📉 Depreciation:
Most RVs lose value over time, even while you’re still making payments.

Owning can absolutely be worth it if you use it often.

But if you camp just a few times a year, renting can save thousands while giving you all the fun and none of the headaches.

✨ No loan
✨ No maintenance
✨ No storage worries
✨ No winterizing
✨ No surprise repair bills
✨ Just show up and make memories

No judgment here… buy one, rent one, or tent it. Whatever gets you outside and making memories is the right choice. 🏕️

Hi friends!

I just wanted to share this and thank you for all of your support of our family owned business.

I started out in 2023 and had no idea where this journey would take us. We went from one camper to three and then three to 12 and I could’ve continued from there, but… life happens.

My favorite part of the business? Meeting all of you and hearing your stories. What’s your favorite memory with us? Please share and make my day… 🤗

Good morning friends!

I don’t like to do this, but with 3 of my drivers owning diesel trucks with a price over $5/gallon, I have to raise the delivery fee on any upcoming reservations (existing reservations will not be affected, tips are welcomed, but never expected).

Our drivers use their own vehicles and fuel and work really hard to make sure your trip is as worry free as possible.

Remember: delivery includes both delivery and pick up, filling fresh water, complete set up (plugging in etc), AND dumping the black and gray tanks. 💩

Our new delivery fee is $210 ($200 for the driver and $10 for the septic dump fee in Akeley). That is less than half of other nearby companies who charge guests $500.

Thanks so much for understanding and for your continued support!

Spring camper prep is underway! Who’s excited with me?! 😀 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️🏕️

Southern MN people 👀! My friends Amanda and Jason have embarked on a RV rental journey of their own. Fun fact, Amanda and I worked together 1,000 years ago at the steakhouse where Ben and I met and I am so happy she and I reconnected in this way :)

They’re based out of Warsaw and will offer fully loaded rigs and delivery just like we do. Jason is an experienced RV tech as well. Give them a like and a follow please! Best of luck in your new ventures 🤗

Alrighty folks, I know you thought our campers were stocked with EVERYTHING you need for camping. Welp, I thought of one more...

Tired of sleeping through sunrise on the lake?

Good news — every Itasca Adventures rental now includes a built-in loon alarm clock 🌅

✔️ Starts at 5:12am sharp
✔️ Volume: absolutely unnecessary
✔️ Snooze button: nonexistent

You’re welcome 😄

Tent there...done that....

Me too! Raise your hand if you absolutely love the outdoors, but your back says "Give me a real bed, and maybe some heat/massage chairs?!"

Amanda here, owner of Itasca Adventures RV Rentals. My favorite thing is to help people make the best of their hard-earned vacations.

If a summer trip is on your mind, please reach out and let me help you! I still have some openings left!
