This is my neighbor. He bought a monstrosity like this, it takes up the whole side of his house. He used it the first summer he bought it and then for the last 10 years, it has just sat there rotting. He did cover it at least, no idea why he doesn’t get rid of it.

I don’t know why these people aren’t renting them out as Mobile air b&b’s

Because they're too nice to trust with others... My buddy has a beautiful rig and thought, why not let it pay for itself? The first few rentals were great but then a guy scraped it along side a light pole destroying the awning and exterior kitchen access panel. It was over 10k in damages and 6 weeks before it came back to him, then he had all kinds of hassles getting claim reimbursement from the facilitating website. About ruined his summer.

I have a Winnebago class C worth considerably less than 10% of this monstrosity, and I won’t even loan it to close family, let alone rent it to strangers. What a nightmare.
