JaxDad, the reason why ALL of those rental companies stay in business is because they charge out the 'wazoo' renting them out! Have you checked rental rates?
Back in 2005 and 2006, we were paying about $350 a day for renting a class A diesel. I bought a $1M insurance policy as you know how people are now with all of the lawyer advertisements on TV. We had about 100 miles a day allowance and then it was $1 a mile for overage.
If someone wants to rent their RV out, more power to them! I wish them the best of luck.
It's when there is a problem will the renter know what to do? Do they check tires pressures? If an inner dual is low, they would never know unless the RV has a TPMS.
I'm wondering if the example you used about the guy renting to young families protected himself legally. There are so many things that a person has to think about and I feel that's what most here want to point out.
It's like renting your house. It just takes one bad renter to eat up any profit from all the damage they can do.
Safe travels,
MM.
