RV Rental Managament
Welcome to our RV Rental Management Program! At 916 RV Rentals, we understand that owning an RV can be a significant investment, and many owners don’t utilize their RVs as often as they’d like. That’s why we offer a comprehensive management service designed to help you maximize the value of your investment while minimizing the hassles of ownership.
How It Works
When you enroll in our RV Rental Management Program, we handle everything for you:
Storage: Your RV will be stored securely at our facility, ensuring it’s protected from the elements and potential damage.
Rental Management: We manage the entire rental process, from listing your RV to handling bookings and customer service. You can sit back and watch your investment generate income.
Maintenance and Care: Your RV will receive regular maintenance and care, ensuring it remains in excellent condition. Our experienced team treats each unit as if it were our own.
Common Concerns
We understand that entrusting your RV to someone else can raise concerns. Here are a few common worries and how we address them:
What if my RV gets damaged?
Your RV is covered by our comprehensive master insurance policy, which protects the vehicle, renters, and our team. We take extensive precautions to prevent damage, and our team is trained to handle RVs with care.
How will I know my RV is being maintained properly?
We provide regular updates on your RV’s condition and any maintenance performed. You’ll always be informed and can request a full report at any time.
Can I still use my RV?
Absolutely! You can schedule your personal use of the RV whenever you like. We’ll coordinate rental dates around your availability.
What happens if the RV doesn’t rent?
We have a proven marketing strategy that maximizes your RV’s visibility and attracts potential renters. It’s important to us that your RV generates income because if you don’t make money, we don’t make money. We’re on the same team, working together to ensure your RV is successful in the rental market. Plus, with our flexible program, you can always take your RV back if rental opportunities don’t meet your expectations.
What about the off season?
While winter tends to be slower for RV rentals, with demand typically dipping during the off-season, owners find that the strong rental income during the summer months more than justifies the program. The summer revenue tends to be substantial enough to offset the down months, making the program a worthwhile investment overall. Additionally, during the months of October through April, anytime your RV isn’t rented, the insurance cost is cut in half. This helps further minimize your expenses during the off-season while still ensuring your RV is protected.
Thinking of Renting Your RV Yourself? Here's What to Consider
Now, I know what you're thinking: Why wouldn't I just do it myself and keep all the money? While it sounds tempting, there are a few big reasons why renting your RV independently isn’t always as easy (or profitable) as it seems:
It’s Not as Passive as It Seems: RV rental isn’t as hands-off as some might think. Even if you list your RV on popular platforms, you'll still need to manage bookings, communicate with renters, and deal with potential issues. It takes more time and effort than many owners anticipate. Several of our current RV owners initially tried renting out their RVs by themselves but quickly realized how difficult and time-consuming it was. They found it very challenging and eventually chose to turn their RV over to us for professional management. This allowed them to earn revenue while avoiding the hassle and complexity of managing everything on their own.
Time and Effort: Renting your RV out yourself means handling all aspects of the process, from creating listings to managing bookings. This often requires taking time off work or rearranging personal schedules, which can be stressful and inconvenient.
Limited Knowledge: If you're not deeply familiar with RV maintenance and operations, managing issues that arise can be a challenge. You might not know how to troubleshoot mechanical problems or handle maintenance, which could lead to more costly repairs or unhappy renters. Additionally, renting out an RV involves understanding how to properly screen renters, ensuring they have the right experience and responsibility level. You also need to be aware of what insurance coverages do and don’t apply. If you don't understand the complexities of insurance, it could expose you to problems and unwanted liabilities, leaving you financially vulnerable in the event of an accident or damage. On top of that, knowing what destinations to avoid and handling other logistical complications, like driving laws and maintenance issues during a trip, adds layers of complexity that could be difficult to manage without professional experience.
High Platform Fees: Many RV owners turn to online rental platforms to manage bookings, but these platforms charge high commission fees, often 20-25%. As an individual owner, you don't have the leverage that larger, professional companies with multiple units do, which means you could lose a significant portion of your rental income.
By choosing our RV Rental Management Program, you avoid all of these challenges. We handle everything—from listing your RV to managing the bookings, customer service, and maintenance—while ensuring you get the maximum value for your RV, without the headaches.

Why It’s Important to Keep Your RV Active
It's not good for an RV to sit unused for long periods in storage. Regular use helps maintain the vehicle's overall health and prevents issues such as engine problems, tire degradation, and other mechanical concerns. By renting out your RV, you're not only generating income but also ensuring it stays in top condition. We work to make sure your RV gets the attention and use it deserves while still being available for your personal trips whenever you want.
Payouts and Reporting
At the end of every month, you will receive a detailed payout report. This report will include all rental revenue earned during the month, as well as any costs associated with your RV’s upkeep and management. You’ll have full visibility into how your RV is performing, ensuring transparency and peace of mind.
Benefits for RV Owners
Cover Ownership Costs: Renting out your RV can help offset the expenses associated with ownership, including maintenance, insurance, and storage, all while generating revenue. These costs are factored into the rental process and deducted from your rental income, so you don’t have to worry about paying them separately.
Flexibility: You can still use your RV whenever you want. We work with you to schedule rentals around your personal use.
Comprehensive Insurance Coverage: You can cancel your personal insurance as we add your unit to our master policy. This policy covers your RV, us, the renters, and you, providing peace of mind and broad protection.
Expert Care: Our dedicated team ensures your RV is well taken care of. We handle all maintenance, cleaning, and any necessary repairs, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
