Continue reading this article and we are going to talk about RV life on the road and making sure you have the moolah to pay bills and have fun while on the move.

Work camping or Working Remotely?

Two of the most popular ways to make money and travel is through work camping and working remotely.

Work camping is when you work somewhere and you get to camp there. You might be the groundskeeper at an RV park, a manager or maybe you’re working in the sales department.

You get paid money but you also have a free place to stay with your RV while you’re there working. Many people that aren’t technically inclined choose work camping over working remotely since computers are a necessity with remote working.

If you’re thinking about working remotely, we will talk about some of the ways you can make money working remotely below.

Jobs You Can Work Remotely

There are a lot of jobs where you can work remotely but you’ll have to prepare yourself. Even if you’re out boondocking, you need to make sure you have power and internet signal so you’re able to work.

Look into getting diesel generators like the ones here, so you’ll also be able to have power no matter where you are.

Even if you do have power, you need to make sure to check the internet signals. There are many National Parks that don’t have great internet access, so you might have to drive out of the park to get a signal.

Now let’s get into some of the work you can do from the road.

Blogger

While you’re out on the road, why not get paid to share your experiences. It can take some time to build up a following if you haven’t already built your blog following, so prepare for that.

If you’ve already been building your following and getting people ready to see you hit the road, you might be able to get enough money coming in that you can survive off of your blog — it really depends on what your budget is.

Freelance Writer

Everyone needs written content from small businesses to big corporations. You can work directly with small businesses or you might choose to work with an agency that can connect you with small businesses. If you don’t want to do your own marketing, you might choose to go the agency route.

As a freelance writer, you know how much you’re going to get paid for each piece of work, so it makes it easier to budget and know how much you need to work.

Digital Marketing Strategist

Do you know how to market online? Many people are totally clueless about how to get the word out about their business online. If you can help people put together a sound strategy to get their business out to the masses, people are more than happy to pay you the big bucks.

You also might decide to specialize in a certain area such as social media or SEO advising.

Graphic Designer

Are you artistic and good at designing on computers? Graphic designers don’t need the internet all the time so if you’re out in the middle of nowhere, you can still work and just upload the design to your client when you come back to internet access.

Customer Service Representative

If you’re going to be a customer service representative, you’re going to need consistent internet. You can’t be out where there is less than a great cell signal because you’ll need to be able to hear people clearly when you’re helping them.

If you plan on spending a lot of time in RV parks with a great internet signal, this might be a good option for you.

More Important Tips for Working Remotely

When you’re working remotely in your RV, it is easy to get distracted. One of the things you might be worried about when you’re thinking you’ll hit the road is whether you’ll be able to stay on task and support yourself.

When you’re traveling a lot, you need to plan on having time off for travel days and adventuring. Mapping out your month and your budget before you head out is a must or you could find yourself stranded somewhere remote.

If you can pay down debt so you don’t have a lot of financial responsibilities, that makes it easier for you to travel without too much stress on your bank account.

If you’ve watched any YouTubers while they are doing their full-time RV living, you might notice that it isn’t one hundred percent stress-free. You will experience challenges when you’re on the road but if you plan and prepare, you can have a lot of fun on the road.
