💩 Why it's ugly

You are not selling adventure. You are selling a gravel rectangle where adventure goes to mildew quietly. Customers call mostly when gates, batteries, covers, or their own memory fail.

💰 Why it prints money

Boats and RVs are expensive, oversized, and usually banned by HOAs. Monthly rent typically runs $75–$250 per space depending on security, cover, and market. Once the land, fence, cameras, and billing are in place, each additional vehicle is mostly margin.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
