So this is the part where I offer my opinion on the vendor relationship.
I will begin by saying how we CHOSE this vendor/camper:
Initially DW and I planned this trip in late spring 2026 when booking opened which came up in conversations with our kids.
DD, who was in the Disney College Program (DCP) several years ago opined that they (she, Dear Child, and DH) wanted to go. So I did the research of the approved vendors and was looking for a trailer that was "like" a 2 bedroom arrangement. Two "REAL" bedrooms (not flex rooms, not bunkhouses) [look it up if you don't know], separate bathrooms (DW has this as a MUST while I hike over to the Comfort Stations), and a common living area (living room type, dinette type, kitchen type, yada yada). One campsite, one trailer, two family units (who agreed to split the cost).
I perused the Disney approved vendors. Lots of flex rooms, lots of bunkhouses, not many accommodations for 2 distinct family groups. But
https://www.korvrental.com/ (Kissimmee Orlando rental dot com) had the Avalanche 44' 5er available (booked something like 28 of the 30 days in April and nearly as many in May - much in demand).
So we locked it in for our dates.
You can put a 5er anywhere (especially if a vendor has to back it in/out). Full site, Preferred, Premium, or Premium Meadow. But I chose a Premium given the length of the presumed trailer (44' for us). We booked the site first (when 2026 bookings opened) and then booked the trailer . Obviously we could have saved a few silver dollars with a Premium or Preferred or Full but decided to go with a bigger concrete pad (which was a good choice).
I'm a numbers guy. You want numbers, I got numbers (rounded to the nearest 100).
A simple Premium campsite (like in loop 400 as we were) was roughly $1,300 tax included for our dates (1 week/7 nights in early May).
The camper, however, was a maze of extras.
The simple quoted nightly/weekly rate was nearly $1,900.
A delivery charge was an additional ~9.5% of the weekly rate.
A full prep charge was an additional ~8.0% of the weekly rate.
The sales tax charge was an additional ~7.5% of the weekly rate.
The average nightly trailer all-in rate (7 nights) was $335. (all fees including tax)
The average nightly Premium site all-in rate (7 nights) was $190. (all fees including tax)
335 + 190 = 525 per night all in; but we were two families so:
525 / 2 = 268 per night for a yuge 5er camper and Premium site on our dates for each family. Bedrooms, kitchen/fridge, location, community. BOOM!
We loved being in 400 loop (Premium). Close to the Fort boat docks, close to the Trails End refillable mug stations (DD and DSiL), walkable to the Settlement Bus Depot to go anywhere, old home decade for DW and me, so I will say it worked.
But .....
Are all 5ers built of balsa wood and bubble gum?
Are all 5ers with 2 AC units subject to heat drain when day temps hit 94F with no shade and even with AC running all day it takes till like 10pm to get temps in the unshaded part of the camper to livable levels? The gooseneck BR/Bath was in the sun and was hot/warm until 8pm or so our last day. Our back bedroom/bathroom with 2 of 8 AC vents didn't cool off until late (although the loft over our heads (where no one was sleeping) had 4 vents blowing and 2 vents blowing into the living/dining/kitchen central space). Oh by morning we all felt fine - high temps only came on Friday morn and we left Sat morn.
In our case, I have to add some caveats.
You don't have to rent a YUGE 5er for 2 family units. Rent a smaller camper if you can if 1 family unit.
You don't have to book a Premium campsite. Book a less expensive campsite if you can.
Not all vendors have fees added (supposedly) onto the daily/weekly rate. Some of the other official vendors claim to add only sales tax but I'd like to hear from real customers that this was true.
My thought for renting a camper on a campsite was to compare that cost to buying a Fort Wilderness Cabin
DVC contract as a strategy after getting too old for pushing a pop-up Aliner around. The alternative was the FWC which was almost the same cost for the week ($200+) per night for maintenance fees and no straight line depreciation costs for the loss of one year's ownership points. I guess DW and I will keep the Alinler for a decade or two.
Other vendors have other pricing mechanisms and KORV worked for us just fine this past week for the kind of trailer we wanted. But book only the trailer amenities you need; book only the campsite level you need; be aware of cancellation and reservation modification policies.
This was an educational experience for me and we enjoyed it.

PS - the Fort booking window typically has opened in April for the following year (Jan-Oct arrivals). The camper we booked was one we wanted for late April BUT IT WAS ALREADY BOOKED when the Disney booking window opened for 2026. Lesson is you can book a camper rental (and modify/cancel/yada) before the booking window may open. Lesson is - you don't HAVE to booka site before the camper; you can book a camper that you REALLY love if need be and THEN get a campsite and then tweak each accordingly as needed.
PPS - Monday morning edit to add that KORV was responsive to emails and calls. My one complaint (if it is one) is that their procedures say for me to call them when I arrive at the Fort so they can prioritize that guest's camper since they are there waiting. I called 8am after checking in "hey I'm here". Disney sent the text to me at 1230pm "your campsite is ready" which I assume they also told KORV. It was nearly 5pm when I got the call from KORV that my camper was all set up (I was driving back from MCO having picked up the kids in the rain). I didn't feel like a priority but who knows how many campers they had to handle on a Saturday in-and-out. I bet the weekends are busier than mid-week days.
I mean it - do what the doctors, nurses, and DW tell you to do. ED
at 5am loading my truck with the kids stuff that was going home on their flight. I "volunteered" to carry the stuff they had needed in Florida but didn't need to take on the flight (it was a whole lot of stuff). Guess I can deliver it to them this week when I see DGD. Got them to MCO a little after 630am, got them unloaded, said goodbyes, and returned to the Fort - it was about an hour round trip including unloading time.
