Two full-time airline pilots turned an investment in seven recreational vehicles into a nine-RV rental business, generating about $114,000 in revenue during its first full year.
Carrie and Brian Smith spent approximately $782,000 acquiring the original fleet and another $23,000 outfitting the vehicles with bedding, kitchen supplies, toiletries, and other amenities, according to Business Insider. Most of the RV purchase was financed, meaning the $805,000 figure represents the approximate total investment rather than cash paid upfront.
