Every pickup and return, in photos.
Walk-around photos at pickup and at return, dated and kept with the trip. Before and after photos on every repair. When something is new, you can see when it happened.
Included in every package
Same angles, every time, both directions.
The value of a walk-around is in the comparison. If pickup and return photos are taken the same way, a new scrape is obvious. Our pickup and return walk-around photo checklist gives the full list.
All four sides and corners
The corners are where rigs meet posts, pumps and campground trees.
Roof, awning and slides
The expensive damage, and the kind renters rarely mention.
Tires, bays and hitch
Tread, sidewalls and storage bay doors, plus the hitch on towables.
Interior and systems
Floors, upholstery, appliances and the readings you record at each handoff.
Before and after repairs
What you found and what you fixed, on the repair side of the same unit.
Kept with the trip
Next to the signed agreement and the invoice.
Photos, repairs and history on the unit itself.
Each RV has one record with its class, VIN, plate and mileage, and every photo set and repair attached. Over a season you can see which rigs come back hurt and which ones cost you money. Pair it with the turnover checklist and our preventive maintenance schedule.

Guides on inspections and damage
The Pickup and Return Walk-Around: A Photo Checklist
When a renter says the damage was already there, the walk-around photos are your only evidence. Shoot the same route every time, wide shots then close-ups, exterior, roof, interior and readings, and attach every photo to the booking.
Security Deposits and Damage Claims Without the Fights
Size the RV rental security deposit to cover your common small claims, and photograph every pickup and return the same way. When damage turns up, send a fast, itemized claim with photos attached. Most deposit fights come from surprise, weak evidence and slow follow-up.
Turning Over an RV Between Renters: Cleaning and Systems Checklist
An RV turnover runs in six phases. Inspect the return first, dump the tanks, clean top to bottom, test every system, restock, then wash and sign off. Done in that order, it catches a failing pump or soft tire before the next renter finds it.
A Preventive Maintenance Schedule for Rental RVs
Rental RVs wear out faster than private ones because strangers drive them hard and back to back. Use a schedule sized for rental duty, with checks at every turnover, every month, twice a year and once a year, so you catch problems in your yard instead of on a renter's trip.
Photos on every unit questions.
Who takes the photos?
You or your crew, from a phone at pickup and return. They attach to the trip and the unit automatically.
Are the photos dated?
Yes. Each set is kept with the trip and the time it was taken.
What should a walk-around cover?
Our walk-around photo checklist covers every angle, the roof, tires, awning, slides, interior and the readings you should record.
Do repair jobs get photos too?
Yes. Before and after photos go on every repair job, whether it is your own unit or a customer's.
