How do I calculate profit on an RV rental?

Start with collected reservation revenue and subtract channel fees, payment costs, cleaning, delivery, mileage-sensitive wear, consumables, allocated insurance, maintenance reserve, financing, depreciation assumptions, and incident costs. Use the same sequence each time so that two people working from the same facts can understand how the result was reached. Cash received is not profit, and excluding owner labor, downtime, repairs, or capital cost can overstate performance. Use the current manufacturer instructions and obtain qualified legal, tax, insurance, or mechanical advice when the decision could affect safety, coverage, a contract, or a material amount of money.
