San Jose mobile home residents accuse park owner of retaliation

Residents of the San Jose Mobile Home & RV Park allege that owner Monte Christo Communities is retaliating against them for organizing a residents' association, pressuring them to sign new leases and issuing citations for minor violations. Maria Munoz, founder of the association, says she received multiple seven-day notices, including one for feeding stray kittens, after refusing to sign a new lease. Owner Brock Kaveny denies tracking association members, stating notices are issued to ensure rule compliance. Residents also claim the company pushes long-term leases with annual rent increases of 5.5% to 7%, which they say circumvents the city's rent control policy.

Pilot couple turns bad motorhome rental into retirement business

In July 2023, during the RAGBRAI bike ride in Iowa, Carrie and Brian Smith rented a motorhome that was in poor condition. This prompted them to start Suite Glamping Adventures, a motorhome rental company. They bought seven new Class C motorhomes for $782,000, with a down payment of $127,000. By 2025, the fleet had grown to nine vehicles. The first year was roughly break-even, but the couple aims for annual revenue of $150,000–175,000 through tax deductions and depreciation.
