Make Money from Home Renting Your RV

Looking for a Side Hustle?

Over the past few months with millions of Americans under stay at home order, many people have started to think about how they can make money from home. Now that tens of millions of people have lost their jobs, it’s even more top of mind. People are asking themselves how they can earn additional income while at home or in their spare time.

When researching ways to earn money online, you’ll find many options, but most offer little returns for the time invested. For example, is it worth an hour-long survey to get a $10 Amazon Gift Card? It could be for people without any options, but for others, it may seem like a waste of time.

If you’re not internet savvy, it will likely take a while and a long learning curve to get to a successful, revenue-generating place working solely online. There are options though, to use online tools to generate revenue right away.

If you own an RV, camper, motorhome or travel trailer, it’s likely you don’t use it 365 days a year. Most RV owners use their camper a maximum of 2 weeks per year. The rest of the time, you’re either paying for storage or the RV is taking up space in your driveway.

RV Rentals Are In High Demand and There Is No Sign Of Slowing Down.

During the summer months, RV rentals are in extremely high demand and people pay hotel room rates for RV rentals. If you have a newer Class C camper in your driveway, you could make over $1,000 per week from just one rental customer.
