2 pilots bought 7 RVs, and are turning their 'Airbnb on wheels' business into a retirement plan

Brian and Carrie Smith, airline pilots, purchased seven RVs to launch an RV rental company called Suite Glamping Adventures as a retirement plan. They were inspired by a poor RV rental experience during RAGBRAI and avoided a trial run, directly acquiring seven Class C RVs. Their business was sold out in the first week of operations in February 2024.
