🚌 Ever wondered if your RV could make you money—without you lifting a finger?
In this episode of the RV Queens Podcast, Kate chats with Stacy Maxon, COO of Fireside RV Rental, about turning your rig into a reliable revenue stream. Stacey’s journey from the insurance and telecom industries to full-time RV entrepreneur—and eventually an investor in a leading RV rental company—proves that reinventing your career and making money on the road is totally possible.
Whether you’re curious about renting out your RV when you’re not using it or ready to dive into the rental management business yourself, Stacy breaks down the options, offers real-world numbers, and explains exactly what it takes to make it work. Plus, she shares insights on living a life “escaping the ordinary” and why experiencing the RV lifestyle with family is something you should do sooner rather than later.
Key takeaways
1️⃣ How Stacey and her husband left traditional careers, rented out their personal RV, and discovered a profitable business model in RV rentals.
2️⃣ How RV Rentals Work: The nuts and bolts of working with a rental management company, what to expect in terms of nightly rates, insurance, and handling unexpected issues.
3️⃣ Real numbers on what a fifth wheel or travel trailer can earn in a single season and how certain regions can rent year-round.
4️⃣ The difference between running your own RV rental franchise and the more hands-off approach of management companies.
5️⃣ Why Stacey believes in NOT waiting until retirement to explore the world, and how her newsletter and platform encourage families to hit the road now.
