Amey Thompson loves many things, but if she had to narrow it down it’d be music, traveling, and festivals. The common thread of Thompson’s favorite pastimes? The outdoors. The comforts that an RV provides always made these outdoor events more enjoyable, so it made sense to invest in purchasing one.
Another common thread of these favorite events? Seasonality. “I knew I wouldn’t get full use of the RV throughout the year, so I thought I could make it work for me by renting it when it was otherwise sitting idle.”
Thompson discovered Outdoorsy when she was researching RV rental insurance options. Wayfarer, her personal insurance broker, recommended Outdoorsy. Thompson chose Outdoorsy because of this trusted recommendation as well as the comprehensive, straightforward, and well-thought-out 2 million insurance coverage offered by the company. “There’s always a slight concern when letting someone take your RV, but based on Outdoorsy’s track record and insurance, I’m never worried.” Thompson said.
Immediately after listing her rig on Outdoorsy, Thompson had a request for a 10-day rental. This was extended to 20 days, and she is now set up to make $4,000 after just a few weeks listing her RV on the site.
In the beginning, Amey Thompson was only looking to get back what she put in: “My original goal was to offset annual costs in terms of financing, insurance, and cost of upkeep.” Soon enough, Thompson learned her experience on Outdoorsy could be so much more. “Now that I’ve seen the interest, I’m excited to earn extra money on the side.” Thompson knows her business could grow far beyond what she originally anticipated.
Because of her positive experience, Thompson definitely encourages anyone with an RV, campervan, or trailer to list with Outdoorsy. “Outdoorsy’s owner success team is on hand to help with any question that may arise, and I have found myself in a community who shares the same passions as me.”
