Got a new 5th Wheel Keystone Cougar. Planning to rent it out but I am curious, do they rent out regularly? I am worried most people go for Class A, C and travel trailer tow behinds due to not having a 5th wheel capable. I would rent out my truck with it but don't think that's offered in Outdoorsy. Am I wasting my time thinking I can make money with this rig? Also, if I do go forward I am reading that most insurance will not do a renters policy. So I should get it through outdoorsy programs?

Hey there @skidive25 welcome to the Outdoorsy community! 5th wheels do get a bit less traffic on the site, however, everyone has their own preferred tastes and 5th wheels get rented out plenty. It may be less regularly than say a camper van but 5th wheels do go out they typically go out for a higher number of average nights at a higher rate per night. You're right that finding someone with a capable truck/hitch will be a challenge which is why many owners like you offer delivery. With delivery, you'll charge a set delivery/mileage fee on top of your regular rental.
