RV Rentals and the Temple of Doom
I am now a few months into motorhome rental as I mentioned on earlier threads. It is quite different then vacation rentals, is nobody drives your vacation rental a thousand miles away!
I had actually bought the 30 ft motorhome to be a tour vehicle for my new tour company. Then of course coronavirus wiped out tourism this year, so RV rentals was my backup plan .
I'm giving a brief update on where I am. They're really two OTAs for RV rental and they take a high percentage of your take.
I have a 2015 motorhome, it currently is in California, from my Pennsylvania home. That booking was June 4th through July one. It is going out again July 5th until 26. I had to Dicker on the per mileage charge, but since I paid such a low price, and they were good people in bookings I did so.
A lot of issues I'm still working out, I'm starting next year I'll try to move to mostly to direct booking. They essentially take 25% of everything.
I cannot speak for the whole country, and this year is very unique because of the pent-up demand, but your biggest months will be July and August

Sounds like a movie with Chevy Chase and Harrison Ford.
