Forgetting about what can go wrong, forgetting about what will happen inside, forgetting about all the costs you are not considering, how much do you really think you can get a night renting out a +/- 300 square foot dwelling parked in someone's yard? It would be smaller than a hotel room, so the rent will have to be less. It won't have all the amenities of a hotel room, so factor that into the rent.
Is your location spectacular? Those rentals you read about where people get multiple hundreds of dollars a night sure are. They are in San Francisco proper, Manhattan (the island in New York, not the college town in Kansas). They are Oceanfront, lakefront, Riverfront, not fronting a highway in a small town. They are custom homes, not suburban tract homes a couple of hours commute from the city that is the attraction.
If you are located like the vast majority of people in a boring suburb, or in a small town somewhere, the AirBnB money isn't going to flow in. Add in the fact that most people use AirBnB expressly to get larger accommodations than a hotel room and you are going to be hard pressed to get any renters, much less make any money.
