 JUST
FOR RV'Rs
Working While You RV |
|
 |

Things To Consider
You may not realize but there are many things to consider when it comes to
working out of your
RV.
Here are a few to keep in mind. What kind of job: Seasonal,
full-time or part-time? Location: where and why? Space
Consideration: How much and where? Working while
RVing:
Making sure you set time aside for your life and vacation.
What
Kind of Job
Is seasonal what your
looking for? For winter you may want to consider Christmas tree
farms, ski resorts, neighborhood snow shoveling. Retail stores are
also looking for seasonal helpers to get them through the season. |

How about fall?
Opportunities such as Pumpkin patches, yard clean up (due to the
winds), again retail stores getting ready for the holidays. Then
there is spring. Check out garden centers/nurseries who might
become very busy or agricultural jobs which might just need a little
extra help. Summer, if you’re not using this time to
vacation here a few ideas: This is time when school is out,
childcare is usually an issue with parents. You might try a
daycare. Theme parks and water parks are always a refreshing way
to spend the summer working. But if you are the type that likes
air conditioning try fast food restaurants or even working out of your
RV.
Working with a computer can bring may opportunities. The
computer is great for full-time and part-time work. Consider the
following when searching for jobs out of your
RV:
Becoming a writer, having an internet web site business, sales (many
opportunities), tax preparer, property care taker, a financial planner
for a company that requires traveling just might be the thing your
looking for.
Space
Considerations
Considering space may be more important than you think.
Is your
RV
big enough to work out of? Does your job require a lot of paper
work, if so where will you put it? On the table? Are
clients going to enter your
RV?
If so it needs to look professional. Are you going to have a
considerable amount of physical inventory? These are things to
consider. We suggest creating a space in the back and making it
your office even if there is not desk (there are many collapsible
desks available on the market). A place where a file cabinet and
supplies can remain out of sight. Using your kitchen table would
be a great place for a lap top and customers to have a place to sit.
Locations
Having the right
location is extremely important. Consider the following when
choosing a location: A state that has the economical growth that
fits your needs. Weather, too hot or too cold can make life
miserable and costly considering the use of gas and electricity.
And last but not least since you chose to work out of your
RV,
scenery and personal activities are something you should consider.

Setting Time Aside
Keep in mind the reason
your working out of your
RV
is so you can enjoy life a little differently than home owners. If
you’re a workaholic make sure you set time a side for your life and for
vacation. It is very tempting to work when your office is right
there when you’re vacationing. This is very important so as to not
burn yourself out and resent what you began as a passion. For more
