Renting your travel trailer
Does anyone here rent their RV or Travel Trailer out (through something like Outdoorsy) when you're not using it? We are trying to sell our camper, with no luck, and are now thinking about renting it...

Bruce, do you screen potential renters for their trailering experience?
No, I do all the towing.
The way it's insured I deliver it, set it up, and pick it up when they're done.
that puts a whole new slant on your situation. not your normal rental situation.

Locally there are quite a few people/places that do it this way. In my case it certainly wasn't an original idea. :B

Not sure if you really are insured. Once you are part of a commercial operation, the rules are different. Did you pay for commercial insurance for when you are driving the rig to a site? Do you have a commercial license?
As long as claims are limited to minor property damage and you don't bring it up, you will probably fly under the radar but if there is a serious injury accident where the payout is in the 6-7 figure range, I wouldn't be surprised if they do a little digging and find out you are running a commercial operation and you didn't buy commercial insurance.
My wife is my insurance agent. She worked closely with our insurance company on this one - I think we're OK.
