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 renting it out? If so, put us first on the list". Frankly, the thought of renting it out never crossed my mind, but the prospect of someone else helping "pay" for it is attractive!

My co-worker is also a good friend, who I trust would treat our property as if it were hers. So question to the group-do you have any experiences, good or bad, in renting your vehicle?

    Won't be a good friend after they break five thousand worth of things, and won't take the credit for doing it.
  • Not while I'm breathing. And that includes family.
  • You'll get mostly no's to this question but I would consider loaning my rig to the right friend. Most bikers won't loan their bike (motorcycle) to anyone but I have and have never regretted it. The friends that I would consider loaning to are able to replace it with cash if needed. I would never rent it like a business unless I had the correct insurance and licenses.
