Renting your RV
Just heard about this, know nothing about it. Someone told me there are companies that will take your RV, and you'll just get a check every month. Anyone have good experience with this?

Another option is to split the purchase cost of the RV among several family members and/or trusted friends - So instead of one person paying $40K for an RV, 3 or 4 folks pay $10-13K apiece for it.
This also has the advantage of getting more use out of the RV. With 3 or 4 co-owners - each with their own travel plans and schedules, it won't be spending as much time sitting unused between trips.
Personally, I'd feel bad about spending $40K for an RV that spent 95 percent of its time sitting unused. However, if it only cost me $10K instead - and some of the people I care about also got some enjoyment out of it - then that's a lot more appealing prospect.
You better REALLY "love" those friends and family because in many cases "sharing" or money often leads to no family or friends when the deal goes south.
If one can't afford or doesn't like the cost of a expensive toy just sitting around, it is often better to buy a old beater used toy for cheap that one can afford by that one person than risk making enemies of friends and family.
I can assure you, absolutely nothing good will come from "sharing" with my family, jealousy and greed.. Gave my family lots of opportunities over the yrs with no strings attached, each time resulted in squabbles and fights because each of the family members felt cheated.. I ended up dealing with the mess, fixing things at my expense.. No more.
I realize there are whole families that can "get along together", they camp together, they rent condos together, those are the lucky folks as long as no one decides their "half" is lesser than the other ones..
