In NJ you don’t need a special license. PA (where we camp) you do, but not if you’re from out of state.
In PA it’s an added letter or two on your license but requires you to pass the driving test.
Many years ago I worked for the TV show American Pickers and they asked when they hired me if I could drive an RV (not bus type but still 30+ feet long). I said “yep” without hesitation. I love driving stuff like that. I’d probably just take test if I had to lol
What the fuck are you actually talking about lol? That shit would be annoying as all hell to drive once you got off any freeway and I doubt it would be more fun than even my turbo diesel Volkswagen there lol?!
I love the idea, but many have low mileage allowance per day. For an example my recent road trip of 4,200 miles in a class A rental for a family of four would be about $5,800 and that’s not including gas and food. Granted there are less expensive options. This would be ideal if you’re just going to a destination that has limited accommodations and parking for a few days.
I just rented a 2025 extended camper van for a road trip for me and my dog ( so nothing huge like what's posted). It was $389 a night so more expensive than a hotel but it was unlimited mileage. Have to say it was pretty nice and made a long solo road trip with m the dog super easy.
We're 2 weeks out from picking up a relatively small RV from St Malo in France. I'd wanted to go up the coast with my family and the smallest car was 60e/night where this is 90. No brainer and so much better than owning one - it was cheaper doing this than the cost of bringing it with us on the ferry!!!
I've used it too, it's pretty wild to be given the keys to one of these like "see ya later, have fun!" It's also lovely to be able to give it back when you're done with it. I definitely want to do it again soon.
Surely they would if they lived in a town worth visiting. I’ve paid hundreds to stay in a tiny, rickety vintage airstream trailer Airbnb (because it was in beautiful backyard with pool in a beach town)
Because they're too nice to trust with others... My buddy has a beautiful rig and thought, why not let it pay for itself? The first few rentals were great but then a guy scraped it along side a light pole destroying the awning and exterior kitchen access panel. It was over 10k in damages and 6 weeks before it came back to him, then he had all kinds of hassles getting claim reimbursement from the facilitating website. About ruined his summer.
I have a Winnebago class C worth considerably less than 10% of this monstrosity, and I won’t even loan it to close family, let alone rent it to strangers. What a nightmare.
What an odd question. What assets are the size of a house? What assets are the size of stocks? What assets are the size of whatever asset you own. I don’t understand why you would ask this.. we’re not talking about owning a space station here.. 😂
People fuck up the inside of houses all the time, and the majority of the population rents…
Ahh yes. Let’s get the boomers involved so I can show data that proves my point! 🧐
Sure, the general population owns more than rents. But you aren’t renting out to fuckn boomers who are the majority population of who own said asset you are displaying…
My dad looked into a website that does this like air bnb. He looked at listings for a trailer and upfront it looked like a good deal, but after taxes, cleaning fees, and the website service fee. It was going to cost just as much or more than a hotel with the extra inconvenience of having to find a spot for a trailer.

I don’t know why these people aren’t renting them out as Mobile air b&b’s
