Renting your Newell
#3

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.
Thank Jason. The "Park and don't move it" rental sounds more feasible. 
I was wondering, since you've owned a 2003, I'm looking to, purchase a 2002 with quad slides. The current owners have taken the Newell to the factory for service which is good. The question I have, what am I in for purchasing a 15 year old Newell? Will I need $30k in maintenance soon? Air bags, slide seals, etc. Any advise would be appreciated.
