In 1978 Parnell Powell (also known as Pappy) and his wife Violet, began Pappy's Motorhome Rental in their driveway, renting their own personal motorhome. Over a period of years they continued to purchase additional motorhomes to rent, building a good clientele and reputation. This meager beginning has flourished into America's #1 Utah based motorhome rental company. Today Pappy's Motorhome Rental occupies six acres in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley. This facility services and maintains over 100 RVs per month during peak seasons. Pappy's is best known for their quality motorhomes, and the personal attention given to each of their customers. This quality and personal touch makes us stand above our competitors.

Salt Lake City is a major "hub" for most airlines in the Western United States. Many national parks and forests are easily accessible and within driving distance from our location in Salt Lake City. There is a diversity of activities in this area such as: camping, hiking, fishing, skiing (water and snow), shopping, touring, biking, sightseeing, dining, boating, rafting, ballet, art, museums, amusement parks, swimming, rock climbing, snowmobiling, etc. We also offer the convenience of one way travel, by contracting with us to pick up the rental from any of the predetermined locations for an economical cost.

Advantages to renting Motorhomes and Trailers

There are many advantages of renting a motorhome. One is the ability to eliminate the high cost of Hotel, Motel, and Restaurant expenses. With a motorhome there is no need to check-in and out daily. A motorhome provides all the necessities of a home throughout your vacation. Traveling in a motorhome allows you the convenience of preparing meals at your pace and budget, giving you complete control over your vacation or holiday. Second, you can travel in comfort with family, friends, and children. Many units are equipped with TV's and VCR's. All units are self-contained with kitchen, sleeping accommodations (6-8 people), bathroom, and shower facilities. Another attractive advantage to traveling in a motorhome is the ability to camp on site. There are many National and State parks as well as other choice scenic spots with well maintained campgrounds in Utah and close surrounding western states. Come and enjoy a fun and relaxing vacation with all the comforts of home.
