Unless you are independently wealthy, you will need to make a living in order to pay for your necessities, your travel, and your fun.

For some RVers, their travels do begin after retirement so there is little to no worry about earning an income on the road. But if you want to hit the road before that happens, you will need to work while traveling.

Can I work my regular job on the road

?

Many opportunities to explore.

For those travelers who are already working in a remote position, it might be easy to live and work full time on the road.

If your employer is not particular about where you work, as long as you get the work done, then you have crossed a big hurdle already.

If you think that there could be a problem with working from the road, it is best to ask first. In either case, it might be a good idea to start with a short trial period to see if this lifestyle will be compatible with your regular 9-5.

Doing a quick trip while working on the road is good for two reasons: You can test the waters to see if you live working from the road and you can test your ability to be productive while working on the road.

There is a nice catchphrase that states: "The mountains are calling" and so the distractions of doing the fun stuff during the day are real. It takes some discipline to be able to work while you travel. 

Which jobs allow me to travel?

The list of who could essentially work from home is long.

In our RV Lifestyle Facebook group, we asked the question, "What are jobs you can do from the road?"

The answers varied.
