This paper attempts to discuss a random fuzzy renewal process based on random fuzzy theory. The interarrival times are characterized as nonnegative random fuzzy variables which is a more reasonable consideration in the real world. Under this setting, the rate of the random fuzzy renewal process is discussed and a random fuzzy elementary renewal theorem is presented. Furthermore, the expected value of renewals in an arbitrary interval is investigated and Blackwell's theorem in random fuzzy sense is also established.
