The RV industry is growing by leaps and bounds –so much so that it’s turning into a multi-billion dollar industry <\/em>(The outdoor recreation industry as a whole has surpassed $1 trillion<\/a>). With “RV life” entering the public conversation, more and more people want to dip their toes in the pool of RVing. Some aspiring full-time RVers want to experiment with the van life phenomena before taking the leap themselves. Either way that’s more people looking to rent out an RV for short and long term. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you’ve decided it’s time to capitalize on that demand<\/a>. But how to rent your RV is a whole process in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Determine the demand <\/em>for your RV type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Get it renter-ready <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Choose the best hosting platform<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Research price <\/em>points,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. And manage <\/em>their expectations for an awesome RV adventure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Let’s walk through these steps for “how to rent out my RV”, so you can get yours on the market and maximize your earnings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. \n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      First, Understand the Rental Market as an RV Owner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Thanks to the rising popularity of experiential travel, road trips, and camping among millennials and families, RV owners are presented with a golden opportunity to maximize earnings by renting out their RVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But not all RVs are in high demand.<\/strong> So before you go all in on this business venture, make sure your RV is something that consumers in your area<\/em> want to rent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Research other rentals in your area on sites like Outdoorsy<\/a>, RVShare<\/a>, Hipcamp<\/a>, and the Dyrt<\/a>. See what the common rentals are to verify there is a demand in your area<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      After you’ve established that there is a demand, find the gap. <\/strong>The gap is where demand and scarcity meet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In your area, there may be a lot of camper vans available for rent, but it’s possible none of them have a hitch to tow along extra toys. That added amenity fills a need that your renters may have, making you the obvious choice when it comes time to book an RV for the weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Once you understand these trends and identify the gaps your RV rental business fills, you can develop a sound rental strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
