I wonder what this means... 5 years of "around RV/Home repair skills...?
Anyway, this is kinda what I am looking to do at retirement. I have a job that allows me to retire as early as 46 years old, at a 60% pension. I've been thinking about possible retirement jobs, and working in a repair shop at an RV dealership was one I have been considering.
I figure I want to work another 10 or 15 years after I am eligible to retire, before I start drawing from my deferred comp and IRA accounts. I figure I want to be able to work between 6-8 months a year, allowing for 4-6 months a year of traveling. I figure if I work at an RV dealer I will be able to get decent pricing on RV's for the rest of my life. I figure if I learn how to fix them, I'll know what's wrong with traded in RV's and be able to get an even better deal than buying new. I figure if I get certified to repair Atwood, Dometic, Suburban, etc parts then perhaps I can have a mobile RV repair job on the side while I am out traveling about the country.
