The mere title of this has me contemplating buying a camper expressly to rent to see how profitable it could be. Sure one won't make you rich, but if you committed to multiple at what point could a guy make a living? Using the online apps to find renters and hold them accountable should alleviate most of the pain
I know of more than 1 business that does exactly this. They buy used trailers cheap rent them for a while and sell when someone offers enough.
But it is a business and it does have overhead costs. You need insurance , storage yard, pay taxes, pay for marketing, plus your time.
Keep in mind, you want to reserve charging people for damage for something substantial. If you get a reputation for dinging people for every little issue, the internet will come back and kill your business with reviews. Also, it's not as easy as it sounds to put a deposit on a credit card. Credit card companies tend to side with the card holder if there is a dispute. You can waste a lot of time fighting over it.
