Thank You!
I have been considering taking RV trips during my retirement years. When I heard about this company I thought I would check them out. This would be an interesting way to rent an RV in a particular model you are interested in before buying one. And after you buy it, it would be an interesting way to have the RV make you money when you are not using it. I thought I would share what I had found with the SteemIt community, it may also benefit someone else.
Renting a RV is the way to go if you only camp only a few times a year. My parents would rent one when we'd go on week long camping trips they are nice to have when the weather is crappy.
well this is fantastic! great idea!
Never heard of it, but sounds like an awesome idea! Would be even better if it was decentralized and on the blockchain :)
Maybe it will be on the blockchain one day. Think about how many industries are not on the blockchain right now. There should be massive growth in blockchain technology in the future.
Thanks for your comment!
Steem on,
Mike
