Good day all. I am so excited to find this forum. I have been watching and following a bunch of youtube nomadics for several years and last year decided when my youngest is off to college (3 years) I am going to sell the house and start traveling. I will be 42 years old. I am in IT and a lot of my work is remote so as long as I have an internet connection I can work and maintain my income. I also contract with dozens of companies to provide hands-on support to local branches of national chains. I have spoken to many of them and all of them have agreed they would work with me and as long as I gave them some notice as to where I was going to be based out of a week or so in advanced they assured me they could keep me working. Most of the money from the hands-on work will be extra money as I can live off the remote work I think pretty comfortably once full timing.
My plan is to boondock as much as possible in BLM land/Parks/Walmarts (where allowed) and occasionally an RV park. The tools I would need could be carried in the storage section of a moped with a backpack for what won't fit in the moped. I am not set on a moped or anything in particular. A small tow car would probably be best though if class C was the choice.
I am just under 6' and prefer to be able to stand up. A decent bathroom is a must-have. I don't plan on going out anywhere crazy but would like to utilize remote camping. I love to cook so the kitchen has to be decent.
What kind of RV would you guys recommend for my situation? I do not want a class A and I do not want a van or car. Definitely either a Class C/B, pull behind or the fifth wheel. I am comfortable towing a vehicle behind a class C.
For the record, I figured this would have been asked a million times but I searched the forums and found nothing. Sorry if this is a repost.
Maybe things will be dramatically different than today, but how do you plan to stay connected with your customers to do you IT work. I hope it's by phone and not using an internet connection as that could be highly problematic with today's data cost and availability. What amount of time do you think you would spend on the internet and do you think that service will be available dry camping on BLM land. If you need a VPN to connect this could bring speeds of a satelllite internet connection to a near stand still. If you need a static IP you create more issues. Tell us more about your internet needs and what you think would be necessary.
