At the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley, Highway 99, Highway 58 and Highway 178 into the Kern River Canyon all come together in Bakersfield, so an RV based here is close to mountains, lakes and open desert. Renters come up from Los Angeles over the Grapevine, down from the valley towns to the north, and through town on the way to the Sierra. Many of them would rather rent a motorhome than buy one. With RV rental management, RV Management USA hands your RV to a Fleet Manager, who takes over the listing, renter screening, every handoff and the cleanup after each trip, giving a parked rig a chance to earn monthly income without adding to your workload.
Full commercial rental insurance on every trip. Your personal premiums are never affected.
It's still your RV. Reserve it for your own vacations whenever you want, at no charge.
We offer discoutned storage at all our locations.
"Every rental is covered by an approved rental platform or commercial policy."

Head out of Bakersfield in almost any direction and the scenery changes fast. East on Highway 178, the Kern River canyon climbs to Lake Isabella in Sequoia National Forest, known for shoreline camping, fishing and popular windsurfing. Farther north on the Western Divide Highway, the paved 1.3 mile Trail of 100 Giants loops through a grove of towering sequoias, reachable by road from about mid May to mid November. To the west, Carrizo Plain National Monument covers more than 211,000 acres, with Soda Lake and spring wildflower displays. Closer to town, Buena Vista Aquatic Recreational Area offers lakeside campsites, and the city's country music roots keep the evenings lively.
Owners in Bakersfield can put an idle RV on the rental market and let someone else do the renting. A Fleet Manager publishes the listing, handles bookings and deposits, answers inquiries, greets renters at pickup, takes the RV back, cleans it, schedules repairs and stays reachable while each trip is underway. Location does a lot of the selling here. Highway 178 leads up the Kern River canyon to Lake Isabella, the Trail of 100 Giants waits farther north in Sequoia National Forest, Carrizo Plain draws spring wildflower crowds, and Buena Vista offers lakeside camping close to town. Renters from Los Angeles and the valley plan family camping trips, lake weekends, county fair outings and cooler mountain getaways in summer. The payoffs: real earning potential, professional handling of every rental, a wash and walk-around after each return, hardly any time spent on renters, and the RV still free for your own plans. That beats paying for a space while the rig bakes through another valley summer.
Yes. An RV kept in Bakersfield qualifies for rental when it is correctly titled, carries current California registration and is insured for renters. Every trip is protected under an approved rental platform or commercial rental policy rather than a personal RV policy. Report rental income at tax time, and check HOA rules, City of Bakersfield or Kern County parking limits, and whether your storage yard lets renters collect the rig. RV Management USA helps owners work through each item, and RV Management 101 explains how the program handles the rest.
What an RV earns in Bakersfield comes down to the kind of RV, where it is parked, the time of year, how well it is kept, how often it is available and how strong local demand is. March through October is the high stretch, with mild spring and fall weather in the valley, busy summers at Lake Isabella and in the Sierra, and a boost from fair season. As a general estimate, many owners earn around $525 to $2,720 per month with a managed RV. Newer motorhomes, well equipped units, bunkhouse trailers and rigs handy to the lakes tend to perform best. Enter your RV's details in our RV rental income calculator for a tailored figure.
Travel trailers and toy haulers top the Bakersfield earnings list, since groups tow them to Lake Isabella and Buena Vista with boats, kayaks and off road gear. Class C motorhomes also rent well to families bound for the Trail of 100 Giants or the coast, and Class A coaches book for concerts and the county fair. Strong air conditioning matters, because valley renters spend summer afternoons hunting for shade.
Bakersfield owners usually pay about $100 to $250+ per month for RV storage. Bigger rigs, certain RV types and facilities with more amenities cost more, and shade from a covered or indoor spot is priced above an open space. That shade earns its keep here, since valley afternoons often top 100 degrees in summer. Both indoor and outdoor storage turn up across Bakersfield and along the Highway 99 and Highway 58 corridors, and basic uncovered lots sometimes list lower.
Our territory managers work with professional on-site maintenance teams to make sure your RV is meticulously maintained throughout the year. Your RV will benefit form ongoing attention and basic maintenance like tire checks before and after each rental, roof and slide out checks once a month, ongoing appliance testing, routine oil changes, and more. We want your RV in top shape all the time so that it can continue to perform well and generate revenue. As an RV owner in our program, there are 3 main types of maintenance costs to consider:
1) Routine maintenance: Oil changes, tire rotations, etc. Owners are billed periodically for these expenses at discounted rates, and the deduction can often come directly from the rental profits in a given month.
2) Rental Damages: Any damage to an RV that happens on a rental will be covered fully by the renter's security deposit and/or the commercial insurance coverage. Our managers deal with all claims and repairs at no cost to the RV owner - renters pay the deductible and your personal insurance is not involved.
3) Systemic maintenance: Systemic issues are the responsibility of the RV owner. A/C failure, water pump failure, fridge or hot water tank failure, etc. These are costs that arise from no fault of the renter. Warranty protection plans usually cover these systemic repairs, and our managers work with the warranty company and RV techs to get these fixed. Our managers will work with you to get your RV back in top shape as quickly and professionally as possible.
March through October, give or take, is the busiest stretch for RV rentals around Bakersfield. Spring brings wildflower trips to Carrizo Plain, summer pushes renters up the Kern River toward cooler air, and heat waves or event weekends can swing demand from week to week. The Kern County Fair runs from late September into early October and gives fall a strong start, while winter stays quieter apart from snow trips to the Southern Sierra.
Owners in Kern County can work with Get Lost RV in Murrieta, one Fleet Manager in the region that RV Management USA partners with, to list, rent, clean and maintain each RV. Renters come up from Los Angeles over the Grapevine and down from valley towns on the way to the Sierra, which supports local demand. Nearby markets include Fresno, Los Angeles and Santa Clarita, or see the full California page.
