Arbitraging a large U-Haul box truck as an STR?

I knew some guys that would rent a U-Haul and put a bunch of mattresses in there to sleep on during Mardi Gras.  A large U-Haul would sleep 6-10 people.  I'm thinking about renting some U-Haul's and parking them in the back yard of some of my STRs.  I'd put beds in the cargo area.  The house and the U-Haul would be rented to as many guys as possible.  They would all be co-workers for the same company.  12 hour day shift and 12 hour night shift.  The workers sleeping in the U-Haul would have access to the kitchen and bathroom in the house.  I could run a cable TV to the box truck and set up an outdoor shower in the back yard.  How much would you charge people for sleeping in the U-Haul?
