Hey y'all! So sorry I didn't include much information in the first post.
My DH and I are in our 30's with 3 dogs. He owns a motorcycle detailing business and I own an all natural dog treat business. We were wanting to drive around the country to the different motorcycle events to provide detailing services. I can bake the dog treats on the road and ship them anywhere. We wanted to sell everything we have now except his truck and use the money to buy a 5th wheel and still have some left over to help us get through the first year of full timing.
Right now, we own our home, but still pay a mortgage. Our bills total approximately 2k a month. We're happy here, but we feel that a life on the road in an rv would be a simpler, more peaceful life.
We needed advice on approximately how much per month can we reasonably live on? Would our jobs be enough to sustain us, or should we be prepared to find work when we stay at campgrounds? I hear a lot about camp hosting, but I'm not sure what that is. We have looked through some websites but the amount of information is a little overwhelming.
What are some things you wish you would have known before you started rving? What are some common mistakes people make when they first start rving? What's the best part about your full time rv life? What would you change if you could?
Thanks for all of the responses so far! We look forward to your wisdom!
