Blacksford, a recreational vehicle rental business offering fully stocked overland adventure vehicles from Winnebago, has announced a new RV consignment program. Starting in March 2021, Blacksford said it will provide a way for RV owners to generate monthly income by consigning their RVs to Blacksford as part of its rental fleet.
The 6–12-month consignment contracts will include 4-6 weeks of free RV usage for the owners and access to any Blacksford rental RV at any location. Blacksford said it will handle insurance payments and certified repairs, meticulously maintain the units (inside and out), require renter-paid insurance, provide a revenue share when the RV is rented, and even offer resale support at the end of consignment.
“We are always staying tuned into market demands and 2020 was a record year for RV sales and rentals and that will continue for a while,” said Blacksford Founder Jonathan Distad. “We have had owners reach out to see if they could consign their RVs into our fleet and after careful market evaluation, we decided to do something no one else is doing — guarantee income for consignors.”
Blacksford is looking to consign the following RVs starting March 2021:
- 2020 or Newer Winnebago Revel with less than 40,000 miles
- 2020 or Newer Winnebago Solis P or PX with less than 40,000 miles
- 2020 or Newer Winnebago View 24J/D with less than 40,000 miles
- 2020 or Newer Winnebago Porto 24D with less than 40,000 miles
- 2021 Winnebago EKKO
“It’s quite simple, if the RV meets our requirements, we will pay the owner guaranteed monthly income, no shared expenses, options for 4-6 weeks of free RV use and a generous revenue split,” said Distad. “It is a win-win for everyone.”
Blacksford had first announced its plans for a new type of RV rental business last summer.
