It might surprise you how some people are paying for their full-time RV lifestyle. In my experience I have found that generally those who want to do it find an ingenious way to do it and those who have to do it usually struggle with having to do it.
I met a guy and his family while camping in Oregon; this guy had a college degree in graphic design but could not find work in his field, so he was working as a lumberjack, doing lumberjack jobs in Oregon and then going up to Washington State to take on other lumberjack jobs. His wife was home schooling their two kids as they were all full-time RVing, traveling from one job site to another.
There are all kinds of people out here fulltime RVing in all sorts of situations. I would say that a large portion are retired but there is also a younger group out here working as they go. This lifestyle is not for everyone but those who want it usually find a way to get it. Lots of people fulltime until their health don’t permit it anymore, regardless, this lifestyle requires a bit of creativity and ingenuity. But those who say they have to do it usually feel stuck and can’t wait to stop doing it.
