Totally Off Topic -- Renting an RV?

I'm heading back to Alaska with my father this summer for two weeks. I
decided to rent a 22' model from these guys:

When you add up the price of hotel & rental car, it's in pretty much the
same ballpark. We're not going to travel constantly, so the gas prices
weren't a major factor. They claim to renew their fleet every year (at the
end of the season they sell all their RVs off like rental car companies) and
I just generally liked what I saw with them.

Before anyone says anything, I'm well aware that an RV is not an optimal way
to explore Alaska. We're going to do
Anchorage-Homer-Kenai-Denali-Fairbanks-Anchorage or something like that. I'd
love to take my dad to a 7-day fly-in fishing camp but neither of us have
the money for that right now, so we'll put up with the madding crowds. And I
don't have the time to fly my 172 up there from Boston. In any case, the
scenery and fishing are spectacular enough to make up for the
overpopulation.

No, not a Van's RV-6A. I'm talking about a Winnebago!

Anyone ever rented one of these big hogs for a family vacation? I'm
thinking of driving the family to Cape Canaveral for spring break this
year,
and it would be kind of cool to "carry the house with us", as it were...

Who rents these things, anyway? *Does* anyone rent them?
