Full time RVers have many advantages over the house-bound population.  Not only do they get to travel and enjoy new vistas, meet interesting people, and relish new experiences, they can also choose exactly where they want to declare home!

However, our country’s legal system was established around the premise that people are stationary in their places of residence. 

Next to your social security number and drivers license, the most required piece of information that all levels of authority and government officials want is your physical address.

Enter the full time RVer.  All you want is the freedom to go your own way, as financially prudent as possible. Of course, stretching your income is also important.  With today’s hard economic times, getting the biggest bang for your buck is mandatory. 

To that end, it’s only common sense that you would try to find a state that has its taxation system set up to your advantage.

Some of us are retired with adequate financial capacity to just enjoy the ride as we travel the country.  If you're like my wife and I, who bailed out of our original careers at age 45, you probably need a working income of one level or another to live comfortably on the road. 

There are a wide variety of possibilities for providing a source of income to the full time RVer. Some may take a bit of "thinking outside the box" so to speak, but that’s what makes them fun and enjoyable!

Ready to fill out the application to be an RV transporter? Does the idea of traveling at someone else’s expense sound pretty good?  With any luck, transporting RVs could provide a nice side income as well. 

But, before you sign on the dotted line, you might be interested in knowing what you can expect from the job, plus what they will expect from you.

The last time you went looking at new RV's at the dealer’s lot, did you ever wonder just how all those new rigs get from the factory to the dealer?  Transporters, thousands of men and women, actually drive or tow new motorhomes and trailers across the country from their point of manufacture to the dealers who sell them.

Fleetwood, Country Coach, no matter the brand, they all must be driven or pulled from the factory to the dealership. 

I worked for an RV transport company in Tucson for about 6 months. During that time, I transported everything from small travel trailers to $400,000 luxury motorhomes all over the country for hire.

Here are some interesting things I've learned firsthand about the business of transporting RVs...

You may be wondering how you can make the transition to living fulltime in an RV, and still be able to support yourself.  How can you live the life and still be able to afford to eat, travel, and just... well, live?

The ideal life would be to have an excellent retirement income, and just be able to travel from one place to another, without a care in the world. But, Jim and I have been doing this since I was 48 and he was 51 -- nowhere old enough to retire. So, how do we do it?

Jim was in Indiana last week transporting a few RVs from Indiana to Canada and back for an RV dealer.

While there, he talked to the folks at Hoosier Transit about RV transport jobs. They are located in Nappanee, IN and they're currently hiring RV drivers! Here's the scoop...

Living fulltime in an RV is not all fun and games. Occasionally, we do have to take care of the business end of things, just as we used to do living in a house.

How do you get your mail? How do you pay your bills? How do you keep in touch with friends and family? How do you get your medications? Those are some of the most asked questions we get.

Who says you have to buy an RV or motorhome in order to be an RVer? ...even a full-time RVer!

There IS another option: Sign up to deliver RVs with an official RV transporter!

When Ken [Murray] learned about commercial RV transporting companies, he realized then that his dreams of full-timing could come true. Ken sold his house, and last May he moved into his present RV, a 38 foot fifth wheel trailer with a slide out. He contacted two different RV transport companies, Hinkley RV Transport and Horizon Transport, and says both were more than happy to work with him. Both companies have some 200 drivers nationwide, and while they usually deliver new RVs, when Ken wants to move he calls their dispatcher and they have a driver hook onto his trailer and move him to a new park."

Heck, depending on the company (and their requirements), you may not even need to have much RV experience at all! And transporting an RV could even be more exciting than renting one!
