Fireside RV Rental

Diving into the 2025 FDD, your total initial investment lands between $38,350 and $80,100, largely driven by the $35,000 franchise fee that covers initial training, site selection support, and marketplace access. Ongoing fees include a 10% platform fee on gross sales, plus royalties starting at 10% (tiering down to 5% after that, capped at $49,000 annually) and possible 1-5% local ad co-op. Item 19 shines here, revealing average revenues across units that benefit from the outdoor travel surge, though profitability hinges on volume in a seasonal niche—expect working capital needs around $10,000-$20,000 to smooth cash flow.

System health looks robust: from 25 locations in 2023 to 37 in 2024, that's a 48% jump, with 3 projected new units signaling confidence. Franchising since 2022 out of Okeechobee, FL, Fireside keeps terminations low and transfers steady per Item 20, but the youth of the brand means higher execution risk versus established players. For hands-on operators eyeing $500K+ potential top-line in prime markets, this low-barrier entry crushes traditional rental startups, yet the platform dependency demands tech-savvy scaling to hit those growth curves.
