📖 The Hustle
Many people want the RV camping experience but are intimidated by driving and setting up a large RV. Offer a premium delivery and setup service: you drive the RV to their campsite, level it, connect all hookups, extend the slide-outs, and have everything ready when they arrive. Charge $200-400 for this service. When their trip ends, you return to break down and retrieve the RV. This service transforms RV rentals from 'adventurous' to 'luxurious' for your customers and adds significant income to each booking.
🚀 First Step
Research the most popular campgrounds within a 50-mile radius, calculate delivery distances and time, and set your delivery fee accordingly.
🔑 Keys to Success
- A $300 delivery and setup fee turns a $700 weekend rental into a $1,000 booking — and renters happily pay it for a turnkey experience
- Set up a welcome basket with s'mores supplies, firewood, and a campground map — families post photos of these touches on social media, giving you free marketing
- Create setup and breakdown checklists so you never miss a step — a forgotten sewer connection or unleveled RV will ruin a family's trip and your reviews
