Full timer where to work on your RV

I'm about to embark on my full timing and was wondering what people do when they need to work on their rig? I just have a TT, so it's usually just basic stuff like sealing windows or packing bearings. But it could necessitate being up on jackstands, etc. I'm sure some places don't like to see that.... what do people generally do - just ask ahead of time and some places are OK with it?

I tend to think that a lot of campgrounds would be pretty cooperative depending on the type of work to be done. Campgrounds have to have a lot of rules in place to protect themselves from folks taking advantage of the situation. But for some routine maintenance, I think a lot of campgrounds would be willing to work something out.

It's really up to the campground/RV Park management. It on a case by case basis - Ask before setting down.

3/4 timing in a DIY van conversion. Backroads, mountains, boondocking, sometimes big cities for a change of pace.

We usually head to a quiet public park. We like Corp of Engineer Parks, national forests or recreation areas. We do most of our maintenance work in the off season when the parks are fairly empty. If we have to do a lot of drilling, sawing or any noisy activities that would disturb other campers we find a isolated boondocking spot.

If some work needs to be done, ask the campground management. If it's an emergency nature it's usually ok. If it's routine maintenance, you might have to move it to their storage yard to do the work. Bearing buddies are cheap...just sayin..Dennis
