Full-timing on contract CAD work
Hello, New here, first post. I have to guess you know my type around here. I am a young professional (engineer) with a small family and have no intention of spending the next few decades scrambling...

"One additional issue I can see is your workstation. My main workstation has two monitors, plus accessories. Few RVs are really setup with a good work-station location"....
Our 36' DRV provides ample desk space for my Wife's 2 - 22" thin client monitors plus room to work. Being thin client applications, her bandwidth requirement is not huge. Not all RV's are so equipped, but modifications are possible.
I would search out a job first, establish myself as someone who completes work on time, shows up on time and demonstrate my work ethic/dedication to detail....then approach my employer about a trial telecommute period, with clear expectations outlined and agreed upon....when the trial period is over, you should have a good chance of becoming a full time telecommuter.....it worked for me as a Telecom PM. I had a VoIP phone with my office number ported to it, a DSL was required for ample bandwidth, as was the company VPN. My customers thought I was still in IN, while I was enjoying the weather in AZ.
Good Luck
