I think the answer you're going to find here is an overwhelming, "No."
Everyone here purchased their camper for their own personal use. We want to use it when we want to use it, planned or spur of the moment. Not, oops can't go this weekend the camper's rented out.
You'll also find that it does not pencil out financially unless you operate "under the table." Maybe you're one of those Teflon Don types who can get away with not being properly licensed/registered/incorporated/whatever, properly insured, etc.. Just slap an ad up on Craigslist, and if someone has a problem, you can just ignore them and disappear. Make sure you don't have anything the lawyers can come after.
You'll also need to have the camper rented out 100% to make it pay, which then means you can't use the camper, so what's the point of owning it?
Remember your time has value. The time you spend marketing, dealing with the customers, moving the camper around, cleaning and preparing the camper for every weekend...
Also note that the big national rental agency, C...seA....ca, does not rent TCs in New York state. If anyone would know demand they would.
