AirBNB style site for RVers

Valid point. The site I joined allows members who can't host.

in the little town I live in.. I can only park my RV in my driveway for 48 hours. . and I must own it.

Right. We stayed at a party's home years ago and still see them regularly at other times...great friends.

Escapees has been doing this for years.

I joined boondockers welcome dot com yesterday. I live 15 minutes from the MOA, It's about paying it forward not making money. Todd

I don't think there's too many HOA's or Zoning Reg's would a guest for a day or two. If they were to be there for a month or more sure.

In most cases it's only a token amount to overnight, but there's some that are truly magnificent places at $100 a night and it's a) worth it, and b) to limit the visitors in terms of both time and numbers.

Pretty interesting- I think I'd be interested in this, but boondocking is out of my capabilities (single battery/40' fifth wheel). Reading the site a little- it does look like "water/electric hookups offered" is something that is mentioned on some of the listings.

On the subject of staying at someone's home property, I have a reciprocal agreement with 4 different parties. IMO you need to be family, very good friends, or both. Otherwise, the liability factor plays troubling on my mind.

The answer has everything to do with location. Recently, we have been outside LA and, now, outside Seattle. In those two locations (and many more, I presume), the sky is the limit for what one could charge. For example, I would have paid $2000 per month for a space in or around Hollywood. That $2000 is what I paid to an RV Park about thirty miles out and the gas it took to drive back and forth to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Santa Monica, etc. Yes, there are other places in some of those areas but most of those have limits on length of stay.

As someone else mentioned, there probably are troubles with zoning, HOAs, etc... but these things have wheels for a reason. When I was in LA, I was desperate enough for a closer spot that I would have tried (and maybe been run off) in hopes of finding one that worked.

One more point that I think is relevant: I'm not talking about party spots... rolling out the awnings, chairs, firepit, grill, music, etc. I'm thinking about a place to park a coach behind a house... quietly. If you (and the neighbors) didn't see me coming and going in the toad, you wouldn't even know I'm there. Edit added: Well... except for the 40' coach you're looking at. lol. Actually, this isn't really such a problem. When I was kicking around the area, I noticed plenty of spots where landscaping, walls, etc would have effectively hid the coach from the neighbors.

Yes... there is a BIG demand for this in plenty of markets. Let me know if you put something together.

What do you think someone would pay to stay in someone else's driveway? I seriously doubt that anything above $20.00 a night would get any responses at all. For that $20.00 you are providing electricity, water and possibly a sewer connection. And don't forget, everyone wants wifi and Cable TV.
You would have to be there to make sure you got paid and they got into the site without driving over your lawn jockey. Forget the trouble with the neighbors, the zoning people, the local law enforcement and everyone else, it just isn't nearly profitable enough to put up with strangers in your driveway. Remember not everyone has been fitted for Angel Halos.
