Are there any suggestions on how to fund fulltime RV life? Many fulltimer's write about their experiences and say that they make a living from crafting or online. But they never really say what or how.

I've read RV living, its at all the RV parks, alot of contributors are retired and the others are writers/photographers. Its great for hot tips and a good chuckle too!

Alot of fulltimers freelance. There's also telecommuting or other jobs online. I've met alot of fulltimers who make jewelry, are photographers, writers, journalists, musicians, film makers, marine wildlife rescuers, cameramen for films, construction, landscape, auto repair, mechanics... I was a fulltimer for 4 years and I went to school. I kinda miss it...

Usually fulltimers who are freelancing to support themselves, do so after they have an established career, giving them the financial freedom to perhaps sell their home, buy a state-of-the-art rig, and have a steady income because they can sit next to the fire-ring keyboarding on a laptop with the satallite dish on top of the rig...tri-tip on the bbq...bucks to pay the gas or diesel for a big rig pusher... or else its called "homeless".

Annuity investment may be the best way but then there are other ways you will need a permanent address but if you can retire you can live an RV lifestyle. with or without a home to return to. It would seem to me that if you sell your house and set up a regular monthly income with the proceeds it should be easy. I dont believe you should try to earn a living though on the road it would be very difficult unless you were artist or author
