I've rented several motorhomes in the past, including a few class A's. These were all well used motorhomes and certainly not on the level as any Newell. They were Winnebago, fleet wood, etc. I still had to go through a half day training on them before they'd rent them. But I found most of these operated similar to travel trailers and fifth wheels, so the learning curve was smaller.
Renting a Newell, especially a newer one with several slides would be a debacle to me. We spent two days at Newell when we bought it just learning everything. And my 2003 Newell was significantly different than my 2013, so even if someone has "Newell" experience they'd still need to be shown many things, which is quite time consuming for a short term rental.
Now if you're talking about just letting them sleep and stay in your coach and the rental is longer period, while your nearby and available to "rescue" them at any second, that might work.
Personally, I'd never rent mine. But I could see there is a market for it no question. I think if you provided a driver and operator who could get it set up etc that would help.
