Very nice! The central coast is on my short list (for after the lottery win).

We're keen to find out about hire costs - they seem to vary and are a bit confusing.

Nothing specific beyond them being VERY pricey...
and that "America's Best" has a decent rep and seems to have a lock on the market.

Any recommendations for good companies, or other advice?

The deal with owning RV's (I have one) is about being "on the road" for an extended period
or staying in one location for an extended period... where you can have your own bed and teapot
and all the other comforts of home with you... or at least ones you're familiar with.
Most of that applies to renting or hiring as well... but the economics of fuel costs (@8mpg!),
let alone the daily rental rates, are really hard to justify vs the cost of a passenger car and motels
for the shorter trips and with rather few exceptions (like remote spots) the shorter stays.
So... how do you plan to do this "get out and see the country a bit" exploratory traveling?
Fly to various areas and rent an RV for a week's exploring once there?
Or drive the long distances needed to get away from the Central Coast and Cali in general?
See where I'm going with this?
