5 Ways You Can Make a Living While RVing Full Time

Now more than ever, people are selling their homes, ending apartment leases, and selling everything to pursue the RV lifestyle. Owning and living in an RV—whether a Class A diesel pusher or a small travel trailer—is no longer just for the retired set! In fact, more and more young families, couples, and singles are seeking ways to live that RV life. But they still want to work and find ways to make a living while RVing full-time. 

What Do Full-Time RVers Do for Work?

There are a plethora of jobs that suit the full-time RVing lifestyle. Many are business owners, offering B2B or B2C consulting services, selling products or services, or writing and creating sponsored marketing content. But there are lots of other options out there that you can consider! Here are just five examples:

Software or Website Developer

Computer-based jobs are an obvious way to make a living while RVing, and there are many you may qualify for. Becoming a software or website developer, however, often doesn’t require any special degree, though knowledge of coding is necessary. Lots of companies are seeking developers to create phone apps, programs, and websites, and many are offering remote opportunities.  

Campground Host 

Campground jobs offer full-time RVers an excellent “workamping” opportunities. Campground host jobs can include everything from front desk and office work to inspecting and cleaning campsites after each guest leaves. Sometimes jobs are even available in security and event and crowd control. Plus, workamping could help you save some money: Simply find campground jobs that offer a free or discounted campsite in exchange for work. 

Insurance adjuster 

Insurance companies look for people who can be boots-on-the-ground representatives for them, especially after natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. As an insurance adjuster, you could head to an area of the country affected by a natural disaster, where insurance claims will be plentiful, and process those claims right from your rig. 

Mobile Mechanic or Handyman

People who are handy and good with a set of tools can work as mobile mechanics or handymen. Oftentimes, RV mechanics are in high demand and some find plenty of work right in the campgrounds they happen to be staying in. Being mobile gives you the flexibility of finding clients with the scale of projects you’d like to handle in different locations.

Teacher

With many schools and institutions opting for remote learning, a variety of teaching and tutoring jobs can be performed easily in an RV. Other educational jobs to consider include developing and checking curriculums, reviewing and editing textbooks, and more.
