Medley sits at the intersection of the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826) and the Florida Turnpike, so you're connected to everything but you'll want to avoid weekday rush hours (7-9 a.m. and 4-7 p.m.) when traffic on I-95 and the Palmetto crawls. Roads are flat, well-maintained, and elevation never tops 10 feet, no mountain passes to worry about. Watch for low clearance on some Miami-area overpasses (always know your RV's height, typically 10-13 feet) and avoid driving through afternoon summer thunderstorms which can drop visibility quickly. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, check the National Hurricane Center forecast before any extended trip during those months.

South Florida campgrounds are well-equipped, expect 30/50-amp electric, potable water spigots, and sewer hookups at most private parks like Miami Everglades Resort and Larry & Penny Thompson Park. Florida State Parks (Oleta River, John Pennekamp, Bahia Honda) provide water and electric at most sites plus centralized dump stations and bathhouses with hot showers. For dumping between stops, the Miami-Dade Solid Waste Department lists approved RV dump locations, and many Pilot/Flying J truck stops along I-95 and the Florida Turnpike offer dumps and fresh water fills for a small fee. Pro tip: top off fresh water before heading to the Keys, some bridge-island parks have limited fill stations.

Most RVs on RVezy come move-in ready, expect a real bed (queen or king in the master), a kitchen with fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, sink, and cookware, plus a full bathroom with toilet and shower. Air conditioning is essentially mandatory in South Florida and standard on every Medley RV rental, and many hosts include a generator for off-grid Everglades nights, plus seatbelts for safe family travel. TVs, Bluetooth stereos, outdoor speakers, and Wi-Fi hotspots are common add-ons. Each listing shows exactly what's included with photos, so you can match the rig to your group size (filter by Sleeps 4, 6, or 8+). Bring your own linens or add a linen package for around $50.

Mileage policies vary by listing (often 100-150 miles/day with overage at $0.25-$0.50/mile), and every detail is clearly shown on the listing before you book. Message the host directly to bundle add-ons into one easy package.

Payment is simple and secure, you pay through the RVezy platform with a major credit card when the host accepts your booking, never directly to the host in cash. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment, and it is released back to your card after the host confirms the rig was returned in good condition. To avoid any deposit issues, walk through the RV with your host at pickup, take date-stamped photos of any pre-existing scratches or interior wear, return with the same fuel level, and follow the host's dump and cleaning instructions. Everything stays inside the platform, fully tracked and protected.
