Hope this is acceptable as we’re not formally a business, but wanted to publicise our new website www.hiremyvwcamper.com

Having invested a lot of money into a number of upgrades on our T6 camper over the last couple of years. I’m taking an opportunity to become self employed, but don’t want to part with our campervan. Hence the idea of renting out our own to subsidise the ongoing costs of ownership and maintenance.

Not really a business advert so seems ok to let you advertise this.
Hope others are ok including traders??

Would appear to qualify as a side-hustle. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hmm sounds like a business to me...

Where 2 or more forum members are gathered, 3 or 4 differing views will be expressed.

Is your website just for your van or for others to advertise too? I believe there are a few sites that do that already, have you advertised it on those site too?

Finally, are you not worried about damage etc? Looks like you have a nice set of wheels there for starters

Edit: sorry just opened the site and see it redirects you to another site. So firstly surely that means this qualifies as a side hustle and secondly our local converter provides a managed service for this so maybe worth considering

Just our own van… but bookings are done via a 3rd party-link is on the site for that

Yes damage is of course a worry, but taking a pragmatic view and see how it goes… if people take the p155 we’ll stop

Income will be declared and tax paid so yes a side hustle is probably a good description

Yeah looks like more of an investment vehicle… bit more of a commitment as we want to use our van as well

Personally, I'd swap your wheels for some cheapo 16/17" - possibly more comfort for your clients and more peace of mind for you that your expensive wheels won't get trashed.

Still think it’s not a traders advert. Income generated goes back into the Bus.
As I’m a moderator on the T5 Forum too we have a section of ‘Built by members for members’ which bypass traders subs…

 

[Sackmycook]

I'm not sure HMRC would agree. Just saying, nothing personal

 

[BuilderJay]

What’s HMRC??

 

[BuilderJay]

Poor OP. Come on here asking for help to hire hes camper and already after a few hours it goes political. How many on here sold as a trader at a boot fair and declared profits as income.
Ok I’ll get my coat

HMRC ? CASH IS KING

I thought the same when I saw that option. If you are without school age kids and are able to hire it during the school holidays and then use it in the off season it could work quite well

They’ll agree - as long I’m paying tax
