Can someone explain how to make a living while fulltiming? I really want to travel in an rv but I still need to make money, any ideas?

Have you saved enough money towards your dream so far to be able to actually buy an RV of some kind and maybe take it on the road for, say, a month?

Yes. I wish someone would please be considerate enough to answer my question rather than waste my time lecturing me. I've done my homework.

If you did your homework, you wouldn't be on here asking how you can make a living being a full time rv'r now would you?

Several years ago I met a guy & his wife in an RV park. He was a good photographer (digital) and he had a full setup in his rig to produce products from photos - at auto shows, he did business cards o'nite with a pic of the car and owner, or large (up to 11x22) posters ready for framing. He also did travel weddings and family gatherings for photo albums. I'm not sure how he managed, but he and his wife had a rig much younger and nicer than our
s!!

I indeed like the sound of this.

You need to have an in demand, portable skill or be willing to work for near minimum wages at those type of jobs. The portable job skills are things like I.T. professionals, traveling nurses and other health care professionals. No one is going to pay you to travel, they are going to pay you for what you can do when you get to wherever you are going.

I have a feeling that most of the full timers on here are retired people who have worked hard their whole lives, saved their money and can now go out and live the way they want. Dont take this the wrong way, but life isnt a bed of roses......

Thank you for this, but may I ask what you do for a living? I see you're a full-timer.

I've done sugar beets, amazon, campgrounds. But that really doesn't matter. What matters is what you're good at, or willing to try, or able to find.

You're not providing much info about yourself so some folks on this forum may be skeptical (me included). We've had folks who couldn't hack it in college, or just got divorced or just lost a job and house. They all thought RVing would be a cheap way to live but it's not that simple. So, they make 1 post and we never hear from them again.

Well dont be skeptical. Im 18 my work experience os my dads restaurant, I am a practising photographer but that will only get me so far. Im looking to live my dream and get away from it all. Cliche? Maybe.

Look at Cool Jobs, a lot of temporary. Home Depot will allow you to transfer to another store after 6 months. What is your job experience? My DH is semi retired, he was a grocery mgr. We've been fulltime for over 8 years, he usually works 5 to 6 months of the year and we travel the other months. He has used his experience to work through those busy holiday times.

This is all well and good but when I say fulltiming I mean it haha. This won't work for me but thanks anyway!
