Anyone ever use RV space for Short Term Rental?
Has anyone ever bought an RV lot at a resort to rent out nightly or weekly? I am curious if it is worth the investment. This is, admittedly, a half-baked idea. However, it seems like in the right situation, it could possibly pay off. I am looking at possibly buying a lot for around 25k-30k at a popular lakeside resort near Branson, Mo. The lots rent out for $60-$90 per night, which is pricey, but they have tons of amenities like clubhouse, pool, minigolf, boat storage and ramp, social events, etc, and cater to a high-end RV crowd. No tents, canvas/hybrids, or anything shorter than 27'.
Any experience to share?

I tried it with a 5th wheel camper. Total failure. I was able to sell the camper for exactly what I paid for it.
