Future plans for work camping

I'm thinking when it will be time to go full timing, I'm thinking of pulling an extra 16 foot trailer behind my 5th wheeler. Inside this trailer would be my carpentry tool and mechanic tools. I would like to know from all of you out there if this is something I could use to get workamping jobs as a maintenance worker?
  • Not sure where you plan to go, but be warned that "triple" towing is not allowed in all states. You may not be able to tow that extra trailer. I would look at narrowing down tools, as I think most maintenance jobs don't require that full of a tool set, especially as technical jobs require a license (plumbers, electricians, and even gen contractors) which would be difficult (and expensive) to acquire in multiple states.

    That being said, I know folks that work for construction companies and travel from job to job living in RV. I remember a couple of families that installed lighting in large buildings, moving every 3-4 months. They worked for a company that subbed for major construction companies.
