The knee jerk reaction of so many here adverse to your idea should be taken with a grain of salt.
First of all lets look at the Facts:
Any reputable company who takes this camper into it's fleet will have a detailed contract outlining each parties responsibility.
There will be a sizable deposit at rental and undoubtedly the unit will be covered by an extended insurance policy of commercial use.
Get a copy of the contract to read before agreeing to any deal.
Now people with multi million dollar yachts do this all of the time. You buy a boat and put it with a charter company. You get to decide when you use it and how long in most cases. In many cases the rental income will pay for the yacht. This is a long standing practice and the people I have talked to that did this with their boats had a very positive experience. I am a sailor myself with a 42ft Ocean Going Sailboat so I have seen this in action. And the folks I have met in those rental yachts took really exceptional care of themn while in their care.
And keep in mind that sailboat is much more complicated and difficult to move and land than your class C.
