Could be interesting and efficent if used with trains.
IMHO, I suspect this could happen, in particular with the big box SOB's . If you look now the vast number of people who fly in to an area and rent an RV to sightsee has grown year after year and it's not much of a leap to carry it to the level you suggest.

I believe the people who typically own Airstreams and other higher end rigs would be less willing to do this. It's my experience that we seem to be much more focused on pernsonalizing our mobile living spaces and are far more attached to them. They are close to being our aluminum pets.
