TOP 7 Money-Making Jobs Every RV Owner Needs to Know! (RV Life)

[@humbledsparrows4687]

1986 my wife and I were newly at 21 and 23 years of age. We bought us a 1980 Honey Dutchess Class 3 motorhome. Our first camp out was at Roman Nose State Park in Oklahoma. As we rolled up to our campsite, we were greeted by other RVers (much much older RVers). As we got backed in to our site and stepped out to thank everyone for helping us back in, one of the RVers asked where our parents were and we said our parents were not with us, then we were asked where our grandparents were and we said they were not with us. We said this is our RV and we were recently married. Everyone standing there got so excited and were so proud they met a young couple that have made RVing part of their life. Fast forward 37 years later and we are on RV #7. Hahahaha and now we are the ones that get excited to see young couples getting into RVing. Both our kids have their families and they enjoying camping just like we did when we were young.

[@arbonneladyTN]

We started RVing in 1992… with 3 young young kids, then later added a 4th kid. Went from Class C to 36’ TT with bunks. We always got the same kind of reactions! (And we taught the kids at home & on the road as well❤️ so people seeing kids at odd seasonal times was fun too!) We now are on our 4th RV (26TT) , empty nesters and we get excited to see young couples & families out camping too!

[@strsocerplaya9]

Renee’s sister Kayla here… I just want to say Kyle and Renee are absolutely right about seasonal jobs, especially being young, with no kids, I mean even with kids you can make it happen. I really thought I was going to be stuck with my CNA job at the hospital for life because why would you leave such a rewarding job. I built up the courage to quit my job, move away from my family to WV living in a tent as a river guide and it has been the best thing I have ever done. Once you start traveling other opportunities open up for you and it is at your leisure what you decide to do. Anyway variety is the spice of life… Be the Jack of all trades and a master of none, unless you love what you do then master it! Love you ney ney and Carl

I loved that you emphasized the RV life allowed y’all to become debt free. My daughter and her husband decided to do this for this very reason. They bought a beautiful 5th wheel about the same size as your rig that had only been used about a month and got a wonderful deal. It is beautiful and they live in it full time. They have no cost except utilities. We installed full hookups at our house so they can come stay when they are able. My husband and I enjoy traveling with our travel trailer- not full time, but when we like. I worked from home teaching nursing online for several years before I retired. So fun! We live in Kerrville, TX and were delighted to see y’all stoped by our Crackel Barrel. I hope y’all can come back and see the sites of our beautiful town and the hill country. Thank you for such a fun and helpful channel. As a nurse for over 30 years, I can say you both picked a wonderful career. I am so glad you are able to live this life full time!

Good comment - except this: Plenty of folks who live sticksNbricks can be debt free - we were. It’s a choice. And my RV experience - it’s been great 6-9 weeks at a time - taught us that the idea of “NO COST” is a myth. If you’re not setting money aside for future repairs, y’all are gonna be in for a world of financial hurt. Whether living on the road or in a home, there is a balance and you take the good and the bad in both situations.

my wife and I have been full-time since retiring (she worked as a Manager for the municipality, and I owned a residential construction business). She has been on contract with the municipality since she retired working on new projects, and I pick up small construction jobs wherever we are. In the summer, we stay at a seasonal campsite in Ontario, Canada (home for us), and I workamp as a maintenance guy for the campground. It is a private facility, and the owner is quite capable, but there are jobs that are just outside his skillset, and this is where I come in. This has covered our summer accommodations for the past 2 years, and I have renewed for the next season as well. Also, I am a music composer, and aside from my own compositions I do collaborations with people worldwide, which brings in a little extra money.

[@markdougherty6569]

My wife and I did a road trip from June 15th 2024 to Aug 11th 2024. Almost every night we stayed at an RV park which made life easier. There were two issues that I came across while driving, one that I hated and one enjoyed doing. The one I hated was driving pulling my 27' travel trailer. I was getting beat up by the back and forth motion of the trailer. The issue I liked after always driving 5 or more mph over the speed limit was driving 55 mph. I am a senior at the age of 77 and I did not drive 55 because of my age, I did it because I liked have alot of space in front of me. Just imagine doing 55 mph in a 80 mph zone. That is driving 25 mph less. It was nice not being bumper to bumper and passing everyone on the road. We would leave from one RV park to the next RV park around 10 or 11 am and arrive at the next one between 4 and 5 pm and maybe later. I am no longer planning to be pulling my trailer do to back and forth motion. I still would like to travel and might stay in RV parks with cabins or if I can find a good used mobile home. I am a driver for hire and I had a chance working with traveling nurses. I live in San Diego and one of the hospitals were having the a nurses going on strike. Healthsource Global had advertised for drivers to drive the nurses to and from the hospital and wherever they wanted to go.

[@HappilyEverHanks]

Hi Mark! Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I can totally understand why you'd want to avoid the back-and-forth motion of towing a trailer-it's no joke, especially at those speeds. It’s awesome to hear you’re still finding ways to travel and help out as a driver for hire. Wishing you many more smooth and enjoyable adventures ahead! Also, thank you for your love and support in watching our videos every week. We couldn't do this without you! 😊🚐

[@paulmarentette5346]

GREAT video Renee and Kyle! Timely, direct and relatable information. You clearly did some homework before switching the camera on, and it shows this was not "off the cuff." Thank you. Perhaps one of the best things about being mobile is how well change becomes not only natural, but welcomed. "We're tired here" or "Done all we can here" or "This looks interesting, but because we're looking maybe we should get going" is a part of every place you CHOOSE to stay. Staying nimble, unencumbered by work or debt obligations while fulfilling your days AND environment is an embrace of freedom that few can match, so KUDOS to you both. The only question that plagues me (and probably more from those of preceding generations) is building the equity necessary to secure an independent present and future for ourselves while still having something extra to offer others, allows us to retain our value in the world. Lest we become irrelevant or worse - a burden. Fortunately there are investment strategies beyond real estate that do not also carry the same costs or lifestyle burden, and care facilities are only becoming more abundant. Whatever you come across, one thing to never lose sight of is how your travels, courage, experiences and respect you've built have cemented the confidence to handle well just about any challenge or pleasures available to you as individuals and a couple. That's precious and something many choosing "safer" traditional sheltered paths may never really experience.

[@HappilyEverHanks]

RVing full time definitely has it's give and take moments, building equity or wealth may be more of a challenge but we have heard some people don't end up selling their home, but decide to rent it out. We appreciate your wonderful comment!

Great video ! "No job is safe & secure out there". Truer words were never spoken. Left college with a degree in accounting (public) during a recession. Fortunately we were in (and still today), a high demand. Worked for a fortune 500 company that soon (5 years) was bought out, divided up & now doesn't exist. 2nd company was a fortune 100 went thru a reorg after I was there for 5 years. New upper management was not to our liking so we took control & started our own company. Had its ups & downs but overall was very successful. Comfortably retired now. I would advise the workforce to look after yourself, explore the options. Working for a large company doesn't necessarily provide stability or a "safe" spot. Remote working wasn't really an option for me in my day; wish it had been. We RV-d the whole time, but were weekend warriors. Not a full timer but out 1x a month for 4-7 days & a couple 4-5 week trips a year.

No job is safe or secure. Very true. The ones who hangs on to jobs are often, not always, learning challenged individuals.

I am a property & casualty adjuster! There are many couples who work "CAT" Catastrophe claims. It is a unique job and very suitable for a team of two! Unfortunately, my wife has no interest, so I am solo in my endeavor. These CAT adjusters have construction, auto, or heavy equipment knowledge and travel to hurricanes, tornados, hail, fire, and flood events. One spouse usually conducts the inspection and the other writes the estimate and report. You can grow into many facets in this industry such as file examiners, desk adjusters. I began in this business as an insurance agent and found I liked the adjusting side better as I wasn't stuck inside all the time. Pay is based on a fee schedule relating to the size claim estimate one writes. The estimate addresses the damage caused by the storm/peril, desk adjusters review your work, and you will get paid 30, 60 or 90 days out. It is rewarding to be able to assist people as a professional in their time of need!

schooling is great but you learn so much more once you get into the industry

[@MrDbrault]

Another route is in Aviation as a flight attendant. You can live anywhere you want and just fly into your domicle when its time to work. Full benefits, retirment, flight benefits, and a defined career track. Most major airline FA payscales pay $80+/ flight hour after 12 years. (Pay isnt the greatest starting though). Youll have to leave your rig to go to work but you can literally fly out of any airport with airline service. Some airlines even let you pick up trips in different bases.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

All time on ground is unpd work Ur only pd for time in air That is very wrong to me So it’s got to be 1.5 hrs each flight ur not pd, besides long long treks thru airports every flight that is also unpd work time AFTER ur commute to & from the airport It’s prob more like $50 an hr And ur times in air aren’t long either unless u do cross continent or transatlantic etc

Great video!! I’m a full-time traveling site superintendent for retail buildouts. It’s the only way to see the nation. Any construction trade makes a good full-time RV job.

[@aprilandvikas]

Just now watching this video and it was so good! I (April) am I travel physical therapist. I love the freedom, pay, and benefits it provides! I could never imagine going full time with a permanent job. However, my husband and I have not pulled the trigger on buying a travel trailer just yet. Financially we are doing good. No debt but have zero savings for a truck and camper right now so that's why we're waiting. But I think by the end of the year we might just go for it. Life is too short to wait!

[@MattDonkin-j2u]

Hey Hanks!!! We have retired and are hitting the road...(slowly). Got the RV, Got the Truck, Getting the Hitch, Ordered the bed, Have the Stinky Slinky.. what else could we need??? We have you three to watch and get more good tips from!! Good to have you all to give advice to the newbies... lots of things to think about, wonder about and not forget! 🙂 We followed your lead and ordered a bed from Brookland Bedding. We gave you a shout out to BB... hopefully you will earn enough to get Dex some Cat Nip, Crazy Right? We are looking forward to a better nights sleep on something besides the original RV mattress. We have enjoyed (and will continue to enjoy) watching you as you Adventure Journey Through Life. Thanks for the push to let us know we can Adventure Journey Too! Peace, Dar&Matt

[@HappilyEverHanks]

Hi Dar and Matt! Congrats to you both on getting out on the road 😊 Yes, it always seems like we are forgetting something as well. We hope that the Brooklyn Bedding mattress treats you well! It surely has given us some great sleep on the road. Much love to you both from the Hanks family ❤️ We appreciate your support in watching our videos

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

U wk thru an agency that sends u to temp jobs? Or is it a traveling PT like a traveling RN?

[@SweetBabyFreezus]

@@YeshuaKingMessiahwell we work for a travel agency. And they find our jobs. Just like a travel RN. If we accept the contract, then we go there. Each contact is for 3 months or so then on to the next one. Unless we decide to stay longer.

We just got started ourselves, my fiancée is 28 and I am 29! We decided the static stationary life wasn’t for us and while she has a remote job for years, I made the decision to take a pay cut in order to switch to a remote job, best decision as it enabled us to hit the road much sooner than having to wait for retirement!

If you haven't already done one, you should do a video on how to start a KZbin channel and everything that goes into it like the editing software you use, marketing, potential income, etc. There's probably a lot of work involved in cranking out a video a week. I've seen several videos of KZbinrs showing how they grow their channel, marketing, editing, how the monitization works, where the revenue comes from, etc. I don't think I've seen one done by an RVer. I would guess having a KZbin channel is not as easy as it sounds. Viewers probably don't realize the effort that goes into building a successful KZbin channel.

[@thecherryrvlife]

I did the one week RV owners (Fundamentals) class at the National RV Training Academy in Athens, Texas. It won't turn you into a tech (there are add on classes for that) but did give me the basic knowledge to attack a lot of minor repair issues, and routine maintenance matters, that I'd otherwise would have had to call a tech out. In the 15 or so months since the class it's already paid for itself by allowing me to do stuff without calling a tech. While it's not a job per se, it was/is a budget saving tool.

I just retired from the post office a year ago and have wanted to get a part time job just to keep busy. We don't plan on full timing in an RV, just take longer trips than we used to due to vacation restrictions from our jobs. I didn't want to get into a locked down situation on a part time job though. I think Task Rabbit is the answer. Thank you guys so much.

Was just at Quartzsite and beet harvest employers were there. They had sites in Michigan, North Dakota and Idaho. Hitting for month of October. Typically 12 hr days, on your feet all day with breaks when you can fit them in. Often you eat while working. Pay is good and they have hook ups for rvers.

[@shawnbeerens4292]

I worked on rvs when Iwas in tech school to be a diesel mechanic. I worked on ag equipment for 16 years and now Im doing electrical work about to take my journey exam next fall. I think a mobile rv tech would be fun! You get to do mechanic stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing, hvac,and carpentry. It would never be boring!

Yes, we've thought about the same thing for the same reason! Working on a car plus a house!

I'm a semiretired Physician Assistant in primary care/urgent care. After a long full time, career in medicine and as active RV'ers it been a nice move to join multiple Locums to be placed in various parts of California. One nice perk is that they pay for gas mileage and accommodations (including RV sites).

[@dennycappetta2035]

Yeah, we pulled into a RV Park in Terra Haute Indiana coming back from Florida last year. It was late March and still extremely cold compared to where we came from. This RV Park had a fishing lake and quite equiped to serve hundreds of RV's but not at this time (too cold). It was mostly deserted but tucked away in a corner of the park was a group of trade workers, probably about a dozen or so. They were so friendly and invited us over for a beer at their campfire. We had a great time hearing their stories of traveling and working on building projects across the country. It sounded like a great way to live.

[@markhwalisz9181]

This has made it a great way to live for so many. I guess I'm jealous that it all happened too late for me, as I retired 3 years ago. On the other hand, all this remote work has hindered my retirement plans. Retirement areas, their demographics are changing and filling up with work from home people, which are driving housing costs up. Campgrounds are full of not just vacationers, but families living on the road. You get the picture, for every plus there's a minus. I guess all I can really say is, enjoy it if you can. I have to figure out a way in this new era.

May I add another industry that might interest some? I currently work as a wildland firefighter. All of the large fire require work from people who do the catering, mobile showers, print trailers, and overhead. If you look into some of the companies that supply those services you might be able to find seasonal work there too. I am currently certified as a GISS. I work 2 weeks every year doing it and make almost 1.5 months worth of salary and expenses are also paid. When I retire from my current 8-5 I plan to spend about 2-3 months doing that on fires and just RVing everywhere I'm needed. Often times you can park your RV (boondocking) at the fire camp. I see lots of Rvs from people doing those jobs.

Former travel nurse here. It is so crazy how unstable the industry can be. I am considering going back to travel in a couple years with an RV but with pay rates back to pre covid pay it makes no sense to duplicate expenses to make staff rates. Totally understand the struggle you went through in 2020. I was in the thick of it as well. #Nurses
