Hi everyone. New to the site and just getting started researching RV living. My husband and I are looking to going full-time within the next few years. While exploring some ideas for employment on the road, I've read about the possibilities in sales. What I'm wondering is, is it okay to set up shop at the RV parks, state parks, etc. where we are residing. (like a table or small tent beside the RV) Or is this prohibited? What about hanging flyers at the park's bulletin board for products/services rendered?
We haven't been in many parks and are not sure of what's acceptable and what's not. Any insights or references would be helpful. Thanks so much!

I think you find most CC are opposed to the gypsy type of atmosphere. You would be better off looking into rallies and club gatherings. I don't know what line of business you looking at, but if it's life insurance forget it.

Some commercial RV parks will allow some types of business, if you get their permission first, but many do not. I know of no public parks which allow the operating of any kind of business from their sites. We do a lot of volunteer work in public parks for the past eight years and not one of them have allowed such ventures.
Good travelin! ........Kirk

A small table with brochures MIGHT be OK. You could also set-up at local flea markets or advertise online.

A few folks have been able to translate their previous work into $$$ while traveling. One I know was a barber and gave inexpensive haircuts in the parks. No one bothered him about it, but their was no outside visible tent or anything.

We were hosts at a campground in Arizona a few years ago and noticed that one "resourceful" RVer seemed to be doing very well with his home business. In fact, on some days, he would have dozens of people stopping by his site to purchase his wares. However, one of the visitors turned out to be an undercover agent from the Phoenix vice squad. Not sure what he was selling but I guess he didn't have a license because he was taken away in handcuffs.

Any job which can be accomplished with a computer on line and over the phone needs no fixed base from which to operate. As long as I have a cell phone signal and a WiFi or air card connection to the laptop my customers can contact me and I am in business. Home or on the road there is no difference. All the business should care about is if you are working for them and are making a profit. The exact location makes no difference.
