we are looking at renting out our motorhome when we buy it when we do not use it. we hope to make this competitively priced as we find it very expensive to rent. my partner feels that people will destroy it. what are people's thoughts?
thanking you in advance.

    My first thought is that you could well get it trashed but on second thought it's not like renting out a static caravan - almost certainly a different type of person entirely.

    My main concern would be renting a large motorhome to someone that usually drives a small family car and ends up damaging the bodywork. Whilst their deposit may cover this it won't cover the time it's in the bodyshop so can't be rented out.

    Good luck finding insurance, you'll need it - the excess will make it completley un rentable (unless you can get ppl to sign for a 5 grand excess).
    Women priests. Great. Now there's priests of both sexes I don't listen to - Bill Hicks.
