Ever rented out your RV?

With the success of Airbnb, it seems the sharing economy is coming to RVs.  I've discovered outdoorsy.co and rvshare.com.  My Sunland is undergoing renovations at the moment, so it's not in the cards for me now.  But I was wondering if any of you have given it a try or even considered it?  

(I'm not affiliated with either of those sites, in case you were wondering)

RVshare requires a 15 year old or newer rv to meet their insurance requirements

renting an rv is worse than renting your car. because parts and expertise is rarer to come by for the inevitable repairs needed from the extra use. by all means rent, but only if you dont have a particular liking or attachment to the toy, and are comfortable with potential for misuse.

Neubie: That's great input.  My first experience using an RV certainly reinforces those statements: I rented a 15 year old 19' RV with 200k miles which had many issues.  As a renter I didn't have the personal motivation to stop to fix (personally or find someone that could).  I'd rather just ignore them and keep moving.  In some situations that kind of neglect can grow the issue.  That's definitely a consideration.

 

Great find Nam!  That Itasca looks like it's in great condition, and that seems like a very reasonable, or potentially cheap, price to pay.  I'm surprised it's not booked at all.  Perhaps thats just an indicator for the rental market for our beloved toys.
