I can just imagine what a piece of junk a 35-38 ft $60K gasser Class A would be new never mind after its rented out a few times.
For the rental market you really want bare bones which is what you find on entry level units. Upgraded things like residential refers, heated floors, solid cabinets etc will just get messed up and cost a fortune to replace or fix compared to entry level items. Everything from tires to AC gets more problematic and expensive to fix and replace because of abuse. I also doubt you would want a 35-38 foot rental. This invites people bumping into things. Most Class A rental units are 30-32' entry level gas, many of which stripped down special orders. Even so much as not having awnings or TV's. Again, mitigating the risk of things going wrong and costing money. You rarely see anything more upgraded than that unless it's a personal RV someone rents privately. In the commercial space you want cheap and small.
And by the way, My MH was less than $70k and it's not a piece of junk. We like it a lot and it's been trouble free. Lots of nice gas units in that price range.
