Permanently parked camper/rv STR

[Arias Flory]

Does anyone have experience with using a permanently parked camper/rv as an STR? My husband and I are looking to purchase our first short term rental and keep seeing some affordable decent permanent setups at camp grounds. I worry about regulation and demand, but I figured it was worth asking.

Thanks!

Hello @Arias Flory

My wife and I thought of doing the same thing. We lived in our RV for 9 months as we traveled around the country. We found some great deals at RV parks for 3 month stays and such. We go on the list for the yearly spot and when it became available, we were upfront with the people at the site and told them we planned to rent it out and they said No. Make sure you check with the campground to see if you can do that first. 

We do rent our RV on Airbnb, Outdoorsy, and RVshare. We deliver it to the site that the customer books and set it up for them. It's been a good addition to our passive income. I wish you luck! Just make sure you have experience with the RV before you rent it. There are a lot of little details about an RV that are different than a normal house and if people don't know, it can cause expensive repairs. Let me know if you have any questions I can answer.
