Do you rent out your coach?
whelp...we signed on the dotted line and will take delivery of our very first class A motor home sometime next week. As I was sharing our good news with a co-worker, she said "Would you ever consider ...

I doubt that many on this forum would say "yes"....these folks are more passionate about their RVs. I sometimes wish I had rented mine out....so it would get used more, but I just don't trust anyone enough to make it ever worth while.
I recently had an accident with a co-workers car. I work on a tugboat, and we crew change almost anywhere on the east-coast, so depending on where, I will often drop my car off at our office, and take the co-workers car to him, if it's going to be more convenient for him.
Well, I had to drive up during one of the recent snow storms, and got into an accident with his car...totaling it. The only way this would work out as far as insurance was concerned, was for him to file a claim. I paid the deductible ($500) as well as the anticipated increase in his annual rate for the next 3 years ($900) because of the accident. Yes, it was a lot of money (plus $200 to have the car towed back to our office), but I feel as if I was fair with him, and hope that others will be equally as fair, if they are driving my car and something happens.
Point is, when someone else drives your vehicle....car or RV....you are giving them consent, so the burden of insurance falls on the owner.....and that could become very expensive, so NO, I won't rent out my RV, unless I was able to get special insurance...and that would probably make the added income a wash:(
So, the RV sits parked on the side of the house.
Besides, it would be just my luck, that when there was an emergency, and we needed the RV to get out of town, that it would be with someone else:s
