Do you let you kids drive your motorhome

[Mondooker]

I was sitting at the dealership today when a guy sitting across from me got a call from, I found out later, his son-in-law. Come to find out that this guy bought a new motorhome last year and his son-in-law was asking to barrow it. He thought going on a vacation was a good thing to do and barrowing the motorhome was the way to do it.

He nicely told his son-in-law that his motorhome is not something he loans out and the son-in-law obviously didn't like that answer. The son-in-law was not letting it go and tried two or three different ways of convincing this guy why he should loan it out. I felt bad for the guy because he was trying to be nice to someone who was obviously pushing the bounds.

What about you guys, do you loan out your motorhome? Obviously you don't if you full time, but what about those who use it a couple months? Do you loan it out to your kids, neighbors and friends?

No one uses ours except us.

If we need extra sleeping space we do let people stay in it when it's parked in the garage.

My son can use my motorhome anytime he wishes as he is very responsible. He does own his own motorhome so unless his is down for some reason, there won't be a need.
My son-in-law still needs some time to learn responsibility but I would lend him the money to rent one if he ever asked.
Lending it to anyone else is out of the question.

First, you have a pretty self-centered in-law! I would tell him that if he has to buy and give you a $10k bond to pay for any damages to your RV!!!! Personally I would never loan my RV to my own mother or the Pope 🙂

My SIL is a wonderful person but no one borrows my RV or my wheelbarrow.
