Craft Business while RVing

Has anyone here run a

craft business out of their RV?

Was curious how you handle storage and shipping for supplies, etc. Could you share issues your ran into?

I'm currently in a smaller Class C, but will be upgrading and considering going full time. I could have a home base on my parent's property, but I really wouldn't be there often as it conflicts with the regular job. I can travel a lot with my job, but mostly need to stick to mountain/pacific time zones and they are on the east coast. Just wondering if I will basically have to give up my crafting side business if it's not practical.

Define 'out of MH'?

I have seen a few people sell crafts 'out of their MH' in CG's but I have also found that MOST CG's do NOT allow it.

I did met one guy who just conveniently leaves the back of his toy hauler open all the time at the CG.....with all his crafts in plain view.:W

Most RV crafter's I have met follow the craft shows in their MH. Staying the nights in a CG and then travel back and forth to the show site.

Depending on what type of craft and how much bulk you need to take with I've seen where they take out the bed and store their stuff there and just sleep on the couch bed in the RV. Easy access to supplies.

Shipping. I know the vendors at dog shows received shipments at the shows any time they need it. It's just like anything else you give them the address they will ship it!

Good luck on your business. Where there is a will there is a way!:C
