I'm sick of the rat race and have been thinking of selling everything and buying a used Class C and leaving.

I've done a lot of homework, but I'd like to know as a single guy in my late 40s could I make enough workamping to cover food, gas, and a little bit to take care of repairs, and such. It seems couples can make it work. But not much is said about singles.

Basically once I sell everything I'd have my camper, a trailer with my Harley, some tools, and a few things I'd want to keep. I'd probably have a little cash but not much as I've lost all of my savings in a business failure.

I'm highly educated, have lots of skill at fixing things, and such.

So if I do this I need to make sure that I can make enough to get by. Right now I just need to know what others KNOW not think!

..............First off , whatever motor home you purchase should be equipped with a diesel and Allison , because of fuel milage and performance in the rockies !
..............Second , if you initially start workcamping you WILL NEVER be compensated for your expertise by any park owner or manager ! You'll be lucky to receive any monetary compensation above the space rental value plus your electric . Basically , they want something for nothing and they will exploit your skills to the upmost value once they learn what skills and training you possess . Sustaining yourself by workcamping is , as you will soon discover , not the way to make a living while residing in an RV . Some newbies spend their first year figuring out the realties and then have enough sense to make the necessary midcourse corrections . Good luck with whatever course you pursue ! , jf
