RV Rentals and the Temple of Doom

[Ken Latchers]

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
