Creating and maintaining your RV listings through our platform is important, so our goal is not only to attract renters to your listings, but to also share helpful RV Owner educational tools and resources to help you create the best listing and rental experience possible!

Cleaning Tips
As the COVID-19 concerns continue, especially while traveling, cleaning has become a huge concern. Many owners already include a cleaning fee, or provide coverage in their own professional cleaning.
Here you can follow the recommended CDC guidelines and learn how you can keep your RV clean while renting to others.
If you would like to add a cleaning fee onto your listing, you can do so by going to your RVshare Owner Dashboard > Listings > Edit Listing > Rates
Your RVshare Account
It all starts with your Dashboard and Listing page. Visit your Dashboard today to ensure your calendar is up to date, the RV Listing has a thorough and eye-catching description and photos, your fees are added, and all your settings are completed and saved.
We are here to support you, and care a lot about your success with your small business. If you ever have questions or need assistance, please contact our Customer Support team.
