My name is Brian and My wife is Cathey. We have moved 6 times, built one house (beautiful timber frame), whole house renovated three homes all in 18 years and two states, doing all the work ourselves, and I mean everything! Oddly enough I am a 36yr certified master diesel technician. I now teach diesel at a technical college. Cathey is retired. When Cathey suggested going FT RV'ing I started doing some research and "WHY THE HELL NOT". My only concern is medical insurance. I'm thinking with my ability to fix just about anything and woodworking skills I shouldn't have a problem finding small paying jobs around the RV'ers.
Our quest has begun. Waiting for me to retire has now been put aside. Could you guy's use a camper like us?
All my friends call me Cowboy and it stuck!

Absolutely. If you are "handy", there are a lot of work camping jobs. These occasionally pay a little, but mostly they give you a free site. If your wife can also work, say in the office, she could make a little also. You can also migrate to where the seasonal jobs are. Amazon's big shipping facilities are well known for seasonal jobs (like Christmas) ... they will both pay you and pay the park rent. It is very helpful if you are debt free.

A Montana Welcome. I am relatively new posting here, but I have been following this blog for about four years since I was in your position. Ready to go camping FULL TIME. So far I have been on the road for almost three of those years. Best thing I ever did. Of course you are much younger than I. My only wish is that I would have done it at younger age. At least a little younger anyway.
To answer your question about working on the road, there are lots of opportunities. Just check out some of the blogs. Many, even younger people are doing it successfully.
