Hey guys so im wondering , do any of you rent out your TC? Ive been living full time in my camper for the last 7 months or so, its been really fun but im looking into other options as far as off grid living, tiny homes, cabins and some land upstate ect....So with that, i decided id like to rent my camper out to people who want to experience this lifestyle for themselves. There a few different online platforms i can use, but im a bit concerned about people driving it around. Its really difficult to drive and it takes some getting used to. Do you think there would be a market for people who want to rent a camper like this at a specified location and not necessarily move it ? For example, client wants to go camping, they book themselves a campsite for the week, i transport the camper to the campsite for them to use, they dont drive anywhere, they use it , when they're done i pick it up. Maybe they want to see how it feels to live in sucha vehicle, maybe they want something different and unique. Or is it unrealistic to expect that someone who rents a vehicle on wheels is not going to want to use the wheels ? lolAs far as liablity and insurance goes, there is a lot to consider. What do you guys think?

TCs and most RVs in general aren’t very durable. All I’d say is make sure you get enough money to cover the damage.

Here in California, there are some state parks which allow rental companies to deliver RV's of various types to a reserved site for renters to occupy for a set amount of time. Here is a link to a company found at random via Google and therefore not recommended by me, but the website gives you the general idea -https://rvplusyou.com/I'm guessing that if you want to your renters to not drive the truck you should not give them the keys to the engine. :-)

I think i can still cater to some people who wont mind not being able to take the truck on the road.

Oregon has a number of parks that are supplied by third party RV rentals. They haul in a trailer and set it up and then haul it away and clean it up for the next rental. I have friends that have rented like this in OR and NV because they used their tow vehicle to bring off road toys and didn't have a truck camper.

But im having a bit of an issue , all the good NYS parks that have campgrounds are closed for the season , most of them close from November-April , my plan was to use the state parks as the rental locations. There are some other county run campgrounds but i need to check if theyre open

I tried to help a person get back on their feet but wouldn't look for even a part time job. We finally had to evict them off our acreage. It was tough to get them off our land but we've had a good real estate attorney for a long time who worked it out.

Stop it. Grit's head is going to pop.

Sorry, I couldn't help it since this actually happened to me.

What happened to you? The bed bugs or the chitty renters?
I had a tenant claim bed bugs as my responsibility when they began to be unwilling to pay rent…
Even hired a professional to tell me that they had been “dormant” for the 2 years since the renters moved in.
I’m sure it had nothing to do with the husband being an OTR cab lizard, the in-laws from Deliverance moving in and the methy daughter and her kids and 3 more dogs that weren’t approved to be there moving in….
I rented a house to 3 people, 2 dogs, 1 of which was like 12 years old and evicted 9 people and 6 animals….

I am pretty positive I have bed bugs in my bus. Have you had this issue and if so how did you solve it.

From what I have scene is involved to rid them in an actual bedroom from a google search it seems like it would be impossible.

The only thing I can think of would be to set off foggers in my bus, but a lot of what I saw in my google search here said that foggers don't do a very good job with bed bugs either. And yes I realize pesticides are bad for us, but I don't think they linger forever and after cleaning up and airing out think it would be fine. But I don't want to make a mess of my buss that I won't be able to really clean either.

In order to get a relative trouble free money flow you should think about traveling with your camper and build tiny homes for others. You can get the well drilled, the septic system in and start excavation and building off the grid homes in beautiful quiet places. I would rent the camper to my business and only myself this way. Remember, in building, going overboard in trying to save a buck with costs usually isn't worth it. Same thing with cutting corners, it usually isn't worth it.
