Hi All,

Am toying with the idea of renting out a Hymer Motorhome (2006 vintage) to offset ownership costs.

Anyone else trodden this path? I would be interested to know about your experiences.

Ty

Hmmmm, responses I felt would come down the line and also echoing my concerns.

I've looked at several Hymers, all around the £25-30k mark with average of 35k on the clock.

The idea of renting out for say, 10 weeks a year for a return of 6k - ish gross appeals but appreciate they aren't like renting out my holiday cottage either.

Insurance isn't too bad from preliminary enquiries I made but repairing complex custom built parts does worry me.

I rent mine out. In fact, I have rented all the 3 I have owned over the last 5 years out.

However, it doesn't make money. We do it because it makes the MH self-supporting - particularly as I do it through a local company who store, insure it, fix it, deal with the punters etc etc.

It is not a low effort business!
is this a common thing or just something this particular company does?
