Thinking of purchasing a caravan, motorhome, or campertrailer and want to try-before-you-buy?

Wondering what you’d do with your recreational vehicle (RV) set-up after you do an extended trip?

You might even already have one of these RVs and it’s sitting in your driveway

The sharing economy has moved into this space, but is it for you?

We’re joined by Dave Eddy (Director from Camplify, https://www.camplify.com.au)… to answer our questions.

 

In this episode we cover:

– Do you have a say in who hires your caravan or camper?

– What options are there for people who don’t have a suitable tow vehicle… or you’ve never towed?

– What RVs are most commonly hired out?

– Who are they types of people who most commonly hire them?

– How much could someone expect to earn?

– What happens if there’s an accident?

– How does it impact your insurance premium?

– Breakdowns?! What about roadside assistance
