Thinking of doing it but would like more info
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...

I'm in my early forties and have been work camping for the last seven years. I have never regretted leaving the rat race. In the summer I usually work for concessionaire run campgrounds in the National Forest. Sometimes its only min wage but I have made up to 11 bucks an hour and had a work truck. Since my speciality is working at remote campsites without utilities, I usually have my pick at campgrounds. I've worked in Maine, Va, NC, Georgia, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. There are times I can't believe I'm getting paid to do this. In the fall I work at Amazon then find something in the winter for a few months. I have a late model van towing a 25ft trailer. I did the motor home with the motorcycle on the back, but going to town to do laundry and getting supplies grew old, especially in the rain/snow.
Getting a CDL is a good idea. I've seen job offers for 21 bucks an hour driving a shuttle bus at
the Grand canyon and Bar Harbor. Of course you can wait another 20 years but will you be healthy enough? Or even alive. I've had two people die in my campgrounds within weeks of retiring. (at age 62).
Of course its up to you know what you want to do, but for me the most expensive thing in life is regret.
Be Well,
