      Resolved
      I rented an ** from Cruise America in ************, ** and picked it up on 6/7/24. Upon pickup, my agreement was reviewed. The agreement stated my rental would be $400.13, not including any fees. For example, it was explained there were fees for not refilling propane, or not returning the vehicle refueled, a fee if they needed to perform dumping of grey water/waste, and a cleaning fee if the ** was returned dirty.It was explained that these fees were voluntary, as each of the tasks could be completed by me prior to returning the **.The ** was refueled and cleaned. In fact, it was returned on 6/10/24 in cleaner condition than it was provided. Neither the propane or on-board generator were used, as the ** simply sat in our driveway and was plugged in to an outlet anytime power was needed.Upon return, I authorized the dump fee of $50. However, when I received my invoice, an additional "housekeeping fee" of $50 had been charged that was neither discussed or authorized. Both fees were also taxed, leading to a total invoice amount of $506.86.Upon disputing the housekeeping fee, Cruise America stated it was part of the prep fee that was agreed upon in my initial signed contract. I explained that I was also charged the prep fee, and this housekeeping fee was a separate line item that I never agreed upon.After several back-and-forth emails, Cruise America stated that they can bill my at their sole discretion. I don't think so. I didn't sign anything agreeing to the additional fee. Cruise America needs to refund the $50 (+taxes) housekeeping fee.

      We picked up a broken/ dirty ** from ********, ** and drove it to our home in ********, **. The ** has a TPMS warning light come on the dash when started. We plugged the ** into shore power and discovered the ** would run for a little while and then freeze over. I contacted them and they arranged a local ** site to run diagnostics on it. The site looked at it and discovered the ** had never been serviced and it needed to be cleaned. While the company was servicing the ** they noticed a hole in the roof near the drivers rear corner the size of a quarter. The company approved the ** service and after 3 hours I was headed back to my house to clean and pack the ** for a fresh start the next morning. I turned on the Frig in preparation for filling it for our voyage. Then we spent 7 hours cleaning the outside and inside of the unit before we moved our stuff in. The following morning I went out to the ** to make sure the frig was cool and the ** was working and neither was operational. The frig was warmer than the ** and the ** was frozen over. I called them back and requested we take it back to another bigger local ** dealer and they approved. The dealership was authorized to diagnose the ** and the Frig. The ** has a leak and the frig has a wiring issue. The ** dealership wrote up a quote and proceeded to leave us sitting there for the next 6 and a half hours refusing the quote to replace the frig and ** they just happen to have on the shelf. What are the chances you pull into a repair center and they have the licensed techs and parts to get you on the road that day. This company requested that we drive this ** to another state where they could possibly have a unit available or someone that could fix it cheaper. I don't know about you but my idea of a vacation is not getting a rental ** repaired. This whole experience has become a complete nightmare. I'm just glad I'm not stuck on the side of the road in nowhere ***** without ** and a cooler full of food going bad
