Jobs on the Road
to Suppport Your RV Lifestyle

If you are a full time RV enthusiast that loves the constant change of scenery that the full time RV lifestyle provides you, but you need to work to sustain such lifestyle, this could very well be the help you've been looking for. Enclosed are some tips and advice pertaining to working while living in an RV, and these days the jobs are not limited to campground hosting!

First and foremost, comply with all state and Federal income tax requirements. Check with a tax lawyer so that you can handle your taxes properly. Each state is different and though you may understand how to handle your taxes in one state, it does not mean that the same process will apply in another. So this is imperative. You may use the campground address to substantiate your permanent address on the application. Some states may also account RV hook ups as compensation.

There are so many places that you could work on a seasonal basis, while you are traveling, or sometimes even while doing both. Some full time RVers are licensed in a few different states and travel between the states freely coming and going as they please while working in each place. An example of this would be a licensed realtor that is state licensed in Arizona, California, and New Mexico. You could work at a Theme Park, or at a National Forrest. Seasonal establishments always need help during their busy season, and have a hard time retaining such help, but for a traveling RVer it is ideal.

Many RV goers are trying to get contracts with Government agencies, such as the National Park Services. To acquire such a position, you should research the job and the duties. To obtain the position you must put in a bid. The job will usually be given to the lowest bidder for the position. Request past job bids so that you will know how to submit a reasonable bid, and to ensure adequate compensation is offered. Make sure to ask for compensation for personal expenses as well as mileage.

As a full time RV enthusiast looking for work, remember, the sky's the limit, so do not limit yourself. Do not rule out the possibility of side jobs, like cleaning homes, or yard work. There is also contract work. So pick something that you would enjoy doing, and go after it. It is not only possible to RV full time and hold a job, but many find it rewarding to do so.
