Is Renting Out a Rooftop Tent Profitable?

Owning a rooftop tent is a great investment, but it often sits unused. Renting it out can help you recover that investment and earn extra income. Here's a quick look at how renting your rooftop tent can pay off.

The Profit Potential

Let's say you list your tent for €30 per day and rent it out for 26 days a year. After factoring in a 15% platform commission, you’d break even in about 4 years. From there, every rental becomes profit. This shows that even with limited renting days, your tent can still generate steady income.

To help you assess the financial potential of renting out your rooftop tent, we've created an Excel profitability calculator. This tool estimates your yearly rental income, factors in platform fees (15%) and the time value of money, tracks when you break even, and shows your long-term profit potential. Just enter your tent’s cost, daily rate, and expected rental days to see if renting is a smart move.
