Renting your RV
Just heard about this, know nothing about it. Someone told me there are companies that will take your RV, and you'll just get a check every month. Anyone have good experience with this?

If I have to rent it out to make ends meet, I'd sell it.
Rental motorhomes such as Cruise America or El Monte are custom built units just for them. There are no awnings to get ripped off, no retractable steps to jam and get ripped off. Everything is very heavy duty. The curtains (not pull down shades that the strings break on) are very heavy duty too. Everything is made with the thought of what could someone do to destroy this. The Class C units also have (if Ford) a 5.4L V8 rather than the V10 (or the current 7,3L) this is to keep people from running way too fast with them.
Equipment such as dishes and blankets, etc are rented separately, and inventoried when returned. Nothing is left to chance.

Also - at the end of their rental "life" the Cruise America & El Monte RV units are completely refirbished - logos removed, etc. & (forget which company) re-badges them as a "Majestic". They also warranty their re-sale units.
The point is: They *need* to do that for re-sale. It should tell someone considering renting his/her RV be ready to do (some level) of the same!..:R
The stationary trailer as an air b&b sure sounds like a giant headache, and a bigger headache if you're not on hand to solve problems.
Lose lose situation, wish any owner - best of luck!
