OVERVIEW
RV to Me is a mobile application for an online marketplace that connects people who want to earn extra income by renting out their recreational vehicles with people who want to go on RV trips for flexibility on diverse considerations of accommodations and outdoor activities.
WHAT IS THE CONTEXT
Typical lodgings always present limitations for people who have certain physical restrictions or circumstances. This mobile application is made for a marketplace not only to introduce a new concept of accommodation for people who want more flexibility on where they stay but also to give a chance to earn extra money from people who have their own RVs. This distinct service will:
+ Provide more options for accommodation for people who are looking for more flexibility on policies of where they stay.
+ Build customer to customer(C2C) marketplace to draw benefits both sides.
+ Provide a feasible idea of making extra income for RV owners.
CHALLENGE
Although it has numerous benefits, most people have less interest and underrate its advantages. Traveling with an RV can be a great alternative choice when considering accommodation and solve numerous obstacles when people make reservations for staying. For example, its flexibility for lodging restrictions, ease of adventure for outdoorsy people, and other advantages make RV trips worthwhile. However, the cost of buying extra expenses of owning an RV or trailer is significant, so people may hesitate to consider RV travel. The aims are to encourage people to realize how easy to enjoy RV traveling without purchasing their own RV and provide easily accessible information and a system of RVs for people who are interested in renting out or renting RVs.
