I'm new to this forum and not a dedicated CDT hiker. But I live in Helena, MT and as you know the CDT is just a few miles from town. For the past couple of years my wife and I have been renting out a small fleet of pop-up campers with great results. Everybody has been happy and the campers have been very well received. (Look up Montana Camper Rentals .com).
We recently purchased a large motorhome that is really nice. It has everything.
We are wondering if there is a market for through hikers who would like to rent the motorhome while parked near the trail. You'd get a clean bed, hot shower, food to cook, entertainment and a network connection. The motorhome can sleep seven.
I'd love to help the hikers take a relaxing break, but we also need to make money on this. What would be fair to charge for a night in luxury on the trail? And would anyone likely be interested in this?
Thanks for your input!
