I think condition 5 needs highlighting as you'll need a credit card with probably around £650+ available credit on it if you win.

I'll be honest & say that I never really paid a great deal of attention to that condition.I just saw it as a normal condition of holidaying in the USA.When I travelled to New York I was expected to give the hotel a credit card to cover damage etc.I'd imagine that a credit card is required for any vehicle rental,both here & in the USA.
Cheers for the highlight though.

It does say a $1,000 deposit by credit card is required though, implying they'll take $1,000 off it and refund it if they are happy that the RV is returned in the same condition. In hotels it's usually the case that they want a cash deposit or a credit card number opposed to them actually putting a charge on your credit card even if there is no damage.
