Yes, you do not need to be rich or have money in the bank to enjoy the full-timing lifestyle. Many of our friends work on the road and there are plenty of jobs. This lifestyle gives people the opportunity to make money doing the things they always dreamed of doing. The pay in positions like these is normally less than careers offer, but the full-timing lifestyle is significantly less expensive than the traditional lifestyle. Even with lower paying jobs it is not necessary to work year round to afford the lifestyle.
Many jobs even offer perks like a camping space, meals and phone lines.
Most people can find a job scenario that will work for them if they want to be on the road. In the early 1990's David and Dorothy Counts surveyed full-timers on about the lifestyle for their book Over the Next Hill. This year Jaimie Hall surveyed the readers of our RV Lifestyle Newsletter, gathering data for her book about working on the road. More and more families are hitting the road. Some will settle in one community for the school year, then move on during the summer.
