You can technically start an RV rental business with a single RV rental, but if you&rsquo;re serious about launching a full-scale RV rental business, then you should <strong>purchase at least three to five to start.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That includes the main <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/finding-the-best-rv-size\/\">RV sizes<\/a>, also known as &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/types-of-motorhomes\/\">motorhome classes<\/a>&rdquo; <em>(Which appear below in order of size&ndash; yes, it is A, then C, then B):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Class A<\/strong>: The RV behemoths<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Class C<\/strong>: Standard-sized RVs, what you&rsquo;ve seen in most family road trip-themed movies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Class B<\/strong>: Smaller van-life-esque RVs&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to those, it would be smart to invest in at least one travel trailer and pop-up camper as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/the-5-best-travel-trailer-brands-to-buy\/\">Travel trailers<\/a> are smaller and include a trailer hitch (as the name implies) so that they can be hooked up to any vehicle and taken long-distance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/best-pop-up-campers\/\">pop-up camper<\/a> is similar in that it&rsquo;s a small camper addition, but think of it more as a travel trailer that expands (&ldquo;pops&rdquo;) out to include much more space than it initially seemed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pop-up campers have become popular in recent years, so you may be missing out by not including one in your inventory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter what you can start with for now is fine. Just keep in mind that <strong>the sooner you can offer a greater variety of RVs and trailers, the fewer customers you&rsquo;ll have to turn away<\/strong> <em>(Note: Some RV renters will be looking for a specific size, while others will be more flexible).&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that said, a few quick notes on purchasing your first RVs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"should-you-purchase-pre-owned\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Purchase Pre-Owned?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&rsquo;re familiar with property investing, think of purchasing RV rentals in the same way: purchase used and at the biggest discount you can get.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumers often purchase RVs, only to find that they don&rsquo;t use their recreational vehicle often enough to justify the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/the-cost-of-owning-an-rv-in-2023\/\">ownership costs<\/a>, so they sell at a discount just to recoup their cost. Because of this, you can find incredible deals on practically unused RVs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many cases, an avid RV user will typically only take their RV on one trip per year for a few weeks during summer, meaning a one or two-year-old RV often won&rsquo;t have many miles or wear-and-tear on it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this in mind, it&rsquo;s easy to score great deals on pre-owned RVs, slashing your initial investment cost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Learn more about what to look for when buying a used RV:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/what-to-look-for-when-buying-a-used-rv\/\">What to Look For When Buying a Used RV<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"is-it-better-to-buy-or-finance-an-rv\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It Better to Buy or Finance an RV?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To pair with the advice to purchase pre-owned above,<strong> paying in cash is generally advised when purchasing an RV.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Financing is an option, but you&rsquo;ll be spending far more money <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/how-long-do-rvs-last-lifespan\/\">over the life of the RV<\/a> due to interest, <em>which will really eat into your profits.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As much as you can keep those costs down&ndash; <em>by purchasing cash<\/em>&ndash; the better. If you can pair that with purchasing pre-owned, you&rsquo;ll cut an enormous amount of your initial investment down, allowing you to reach profitability faster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"step-4-prepare-your-rvs-for-renting\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step #4: Prepare Your RVs for Renting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you have your RVs, it&rsquo;s time to prepare them for business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes two main tasks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preventative maintenance and a full inspection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And cleaning + furnishing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&rsquo;s break each down individually:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"maintenance-inspection\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintenance + Inspection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The very first thing you&rsquo;ll want to do is enlist a quality mechanic to complete <a href=\"https:\/\/rvblogger.com\/blog\/rv-inspection-checklist-new-or-used\/\" target=\"_blank\">a comprehensive vehicle inspection<\/a> of each RV you plan to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on where you purchased your RV(s), you&rsquo;ll want to have the inspection conducted <strong><em>pre-purchase.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is ideal as it ensures you don&rsquo;t purchase a pre-owned RV with unlisted damages. As a best practice, always request a CarFax report before purchasing, and make sure to take the RV(s) for a test drive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you hire a professional to conduct an inspection and perform necessary repairs, you should receive a full list of all items that need to be taken care of later. That way, you stay on top of ongoing maintenance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>One last note<\/em><\/strong><em>: Getting handy with certain basic maintenance tasks can really help reduce your vehicle maintenance costs over time.<\/em> Changing out lights, doing an oil change, and replacing tires are all things you may opt to do on your own to further cut costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"cleaning-furnishing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning + Furnishing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once inspection and maintenance are complete, it&rsquo;s time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/how-to-make-an-old-rv-look-new\/\">fix up your RV<\/a> so that you can offer the best experience possible for your renters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This involves cleaning the entire vehicle inside and out as well as replacing any minor parts with wear-and-tear throughout the vehicle, such as faucet heads, cushion covers, and curtains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tip:<\/em> <em>Don&rsquo;t purchase RV-specific furnishings, as they&rsquo;re often sold as specialty items and overpriced.<\/em> Standard home furnishings used in traditional homes (that aren&rsquo;t on wheels) are typically compatible with RVs and typically come with a much lower price tag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once that is complete, you&rsquo;ll want to supply your RVs with necessary items such as travel-sized soaps, paper towels, and shampoo. Make sure to keep these items stocked in a centralized location. <em>Pro tip: Only stock up on these toiletries when the RV has officially been rented.

But first things first, you&rsquo;ll need to get your website up and running.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a low budget, social media and SEO are good low-cost investments to generate rentals. If you have a slightly higher budget, you could hire a contractor to create content for you or post paid ads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a higher budget, the fastest way to generate rentals is definitely ads. If you&rsquo;re looking for a quick return on your investment and have the capital for it, investing in Facebook and Google Ads is a good place to start.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"tips-for-jumpstart-your-rv-rental-advertising\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Jumpstart Your RV Rental Advertising<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to figure out how to advertise your brand on social is to create a new Facebook account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your account is live, you&rsquo;ll want to follow a few big RV rental communities<em> (try to keep it at 3 max, you don&rsquo;t want FB to flag you for spam and temporarily suspend your account)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By following RV rental communities, you&rsquo;ll send the right signals to Facebook and ensure your business is filed in the &ldquo;RV rental&rdquo; bucket. That way, when RV rental companies create ads, you&rsquo;ll be targeted. <em>But why would I want to see competitor ads?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imitation isn&rsquo;t only the sincerest form of flattery. It&rsquo;s a great marketing tool to leverage. After studying successful ads, you can work to replicate that success.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another option is to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ads\/library\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook Ads Library<\/a>, which allows you to search for a particular type of ad and view the ads themselves. Just make sure the ads you&rsquo;re viewing are currently running so that you know they&rsquo;re more likely to be profitable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will then be up to you to iterate and find what works best from there, but that will serve as a great starting point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"start-your-rv-rental-business-right\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start Your RV Rental Business Right<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ready to start your own RV rental business?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An RV rental business can be highly profitable&ndash;especially when compared to many other inventory-based businesses. With an RV rental business, you can money from that one piece of inventory for years <em>(and even sell it once it&rsquo;s time to replace the RV with something newer, recouping even more of your original cost).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just make sure to create a detailed business plan and clarify your target market before investing, as we spoke about earlier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One final thing you&rsquo;ll need to figure out (especially if you plan to operate from home) is: <strong><em>where you plan to store your RVs.<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em>There are several options, from commercial storage to large-sized self-storage units (typically 10&rsquo; x 30&rsquo; or 10&rsquo; x 40&rsquo;). You can even find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/rv-storage-near-me\/outdoor\">outdoor RV storage<\/a> for large fleets of rental vehicles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which you choose is up to you. Just make sure you pick something that offers convenient access so you can grab whichever RV you need fast and at a decent price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to make finding RV storage simple and easy?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/rv-storage-near-me\">Check out Neighbor&rsquo;s self-storage marketplace<\/a>, where you can find all of the above storage options from one convenient place, compare choices, and get the storage you need quickly.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you&rsquo;re looking for an easy entrance into entrepreneurship (or your next big business venture), an RV rental&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":12367,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_appearance_grid":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[182],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rv-ownership","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.4 -
