Can You Do Your Job While Full Time RVing?

Stuck in a rut at work? Burning the candle at both ends? For what… high blood pressure and an early check out with heart disease? Did you know that workers of all varieties live full time in their RVs because it is the most convenient, cost effective and downright fun way to travel and work? On top of that if they don’t like their boss or working environment they can load up the RV and head out for greener pastures. Sound too good to be true? Mike and Toni Hogan have been living and traveling full time in their Allegro motorhome since July of 2006. Toni is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) who (thanks to the mobility and comfort of her RV) works where she wants and when she wants. Since they are both busy professionals, they rent an extra car when she is working someplace for an extended period of time (she drives the sporty red one).Toni graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in nursing and went on to complete the requirements to become a CRNA which include working in ICU for 18 months and then completing a CRNA masters degree program which she did at Duke in North Carolina.

Toni is not alone, she knows of other CNRA’s who have been full time RVers like herself and she is currently working with another CNRA who is a full time RVer. There are several professional job placement agencies that specialize in the medical field and it is easy for Toni and others like her to find work all over the country. If you look around RV parks you will soon discover that many of your RV neighbors are work campers who are physicians, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, dentists, x-ray technicians, and everything in between. Don’t think this luxury is reserved only for those in the medical profession.

Every day thousands of full time RVers from every conceivable profession, white collar, blue collar, uniformed, skilled and unskilled labor, lock the door to their RV and drive to work. They return each day to an RV with every conceivable comfort afforded stationary houses (except the yard work, pool maintenance and big house payments). They also return to an RV community full of friendly people who know how to relax and enjoy the time they have on this planet. What other lifestyle will allow you to visit interesting places, make new friends and hone your professional skills at the same time?

So what are you waiting for? Jump on the internet and find your next job then load up the RV and hit the road. I’ll keep the light on for you! Jim

  • I have been going south for the winter for the last 20 years and I finnaly found a job I can do almost anywhere I go, and that's Securty Guard work. There's always somebody needing a Securty Guard. It dont pay a lot of money, but it pays the rent and other things needed. It's also a pretty easy job. Try it.

  • Good for Toni and Mike. We are also full time RVers and Workampers. Choose to work at fun spots like the Caverns of Sonora for a few months while exploring the area. Then we travel for about a month to our next job.

    Interesting that this blog is featured in the same issue that asks if we are REAL RVers! Yes Toni and Mike and the two of us are REALLY RVers!

    See ya down the road,

  • Great timing for this article. I am a PA who has starting planning my wind-down from full time work so that in a year or so we can hire on with a locum tenens service and work 3-6 months somewhere, then travel a month or 2 to the next assignment. It is encouraging to see others succeeding at this lifestyle. Hmmm, maybe I won't be able to stand waiting a year to start. Just need to upgrade the rig, first.

  • You can do it. My wife and I travel the country visiting Toyota dealers as we travel. I designed and sell software for the dealer to process warranty claims. We love picking out areas of interest and exploring, while adding to our income. You are right the freedom is great and the people and places you get to see are fantastic. It's not for everyone, but if you have a skill in demand a little work will bring wonderful rewards.

  • We are planning to full-time as soon as our youngest moves off to college (4 more years). She is a speech pathologist and plans to work for a traveling therapy company. Can't hardly wait!

  • HI All,
    I've been full timing for 4 years now with my dog Shilo. I'm a full charge bookkeeper and work for Accountemps. They have offices all over the place so I get to pick & choose where and when I want to live and work. It's a GREAT life.
