New Full Timing

Is is possible to full time and still work your normal job

  • If you are planning to do it while in Ohio it won't work. You will freeze to death in winter in an RV.
  • To "full time" you not only need to do the V in RV full time but you should do the Recreation part full time too.
  • Depends on your definition of "Full Timing". If that means, to you, simply that you are using your RV as a residence while you work, then yes, you can do that but you're not full timing per se.

    Use caution when throwing that phrase out there. Full timers have certain "benefits" such as being able to choose a domicile state saving on taxes etc. With that "benefit" comes higher insurance, (many companies do not write full timer insurance) as you'll need the full timer rider in case someone injures themselves while visiting.

    If you are able to work from home, you'll be able to work from your RV. The most prevalent "job" allows you to do all your business on the internet. In that case, having a solid and secure connection is imperative.....Dennis
  • It is possible. The *probability* of going full-time and working at your job depends a great deal on your location. I see from you post that you list Ohio as your location. You would need to overcome the freezing temps that comes with winter. Much more doable if you lived in Orlando for example.
  • Yes you can. I was Vice President of a Pharmaceutical Company and full timed for 2 years in preparation for retirement...and off we went.
  • Sure.........

    That just means living in an RV while working vs living in a house.

    Not that it really matters but that isn't my definition of full timing. That's just different living quarters.
    And it isn't necessarily cheaper means of living.

    Full timing to us was traveling with a different view out our windows.

    So guess it depends on your idea of full timing.
