Arbitraging an RV rental?

Most RV rentals that I briefly looked at were $250-$300 per night.  That's about $2000/week.  They sleep 3-4 people.  After doing the math, it would not be profitable to arbitrage an RV unless you can get 6-8 people to pay $400/week per person.  Half day shift, half night shift.  $400 is out of the budget for most people.

Conclusion: RV rental arbitrage is not feasible.

My next study will be to arbitrage a houseboat.
