Step #1 – Plan Your RV life

In order to plan your RV life, you’re going to need to figure out what kind of RV lifestyle you want to have. So before you can ever choose the right RV, you have to figure out what kind of lifestyle you want to live and how much of an RV you can afford, then you can go through the process of doing your research and figuring out the right type of RV for your lifestyle and your budget.

✅ The best way to determine your RV lifestyle is to ask yourself questions:

when, and how long will you be using your RV at a time?
Who’s going to be RV with you?
- Are you going to have kids, pets, people with disabilities?
- Are you RVing alone or Are you going to have a spouse coming along?
how are you going to be using your RV? Are you going to be hooked up most of the time, or do you plan on Boondocking?

✅ And then you want to calculate your RV budget, and figure out exactly how much it’s going to cost to live your RV lifestyle.

✅ After that, you can actually go through the process of choosing the right RV. This is when you want to go online and start searching and doing your research on the different types and sizes of RVs, as well as the amenities that they offer.

Step #2 – Fund Your RV Life.

There’s two parts to this. How To Prepare For Full Time RV Living Beginners Guide – STEP 2 Fund Your RV Life: (1) Saving Money + (2) Making Money! 💰

1️⃣ Saving money:

📌 What can you or will you need to sell to be able to fund your RVing lifestyle, your house, your car, your belongings?

📌 What is something that you don’t have to pay for now, and could cut it out of your current living expenses to start saving money for your RV life.

📌 What are you NOT going to need to pay for once you start RVing that maybe you have to pay for now?

📌 How could you start downsizing your current debt? Is there anything that you can pay off or pay down on?

💯 Keep in mind once you start RVing, there are tons of ways to save money with RV clubs, memberships, and discounts, either at RV parks or on the fuel that you’re using to fill up either a percentage off or free nights, but there are ways to save money once you actually start RVing.

2️⃣ Making Money:

The second part of funding your RV life is actually making money. How do you plan on paying for your RV, lifestyle, travel expenses, etc… when you actually get started RVing?

📌 Do you have a savings account, retirement accounts, personal investments?
📌 Do you plan on being employed, some type of work camping job or remote work? i.e. a travel nurse or a contract job.
📌 Start a side hustle or a business of your own? You can always freelance your skills and services ( sell your own products and services online).

There are tons of ways that you can make money on the road to fund your RV Life.

Step #3 – Preparing For RV Living

How To Prepare For Full Time RV Living [BEGINNERS GUIDE]. Preparing for full time RV living is a transition process. Step three to prepare for RV life is to downsize and mobilize.
.
🛍️ The first part of DOWNSIZING is learning to become a MINIMALIST.
.
💯 Remember that space is limited on an RV! Less is more. The more stuff that you take with you, the more it weighs and costs in fuel to move around.
.
❌ 3-6 Month Rule: I kind of have a rule that I either live seasonally or if it’s something that I haven’t used in the last three to six months, I’ll throw it out. That’s a good way to kind of narrow down your things.
.
✅ Start with the necessities. You can’t use everything in an RV that you might use in a normal house, and certain things that are RV specific.
.
💰 Keep in mind that you can make money while you’re downsizing. You can make money selling your car, selling your house, selling your belongings, whatever it is that you need to start getting rid of, you can make money doing it.
.
👩‍🏫 Downsizing Rules = Piles (i.e. I have a pile to keep, sell, donate and trash)
.

🖥️ MOBILIZE = Go DIGITAL
.

Once you’ve downsized, then it is time to mobilize. And you’re going to need:
.
📪 Mailing Address: to get mail, file taxes, vehicle registration, etc…You’re will have to set up some type of digital address or a physical address where you can get your mail and have it forwarded to you.
.
🏦 Banking: You’re going to want to mobilize your banking. If you have a bank that you normally go to down the street, make sure that they have online banking and a way for you to deposit checks or get money out while you’re on the road. They have to be digital and available from anywhere while you’re traveling.
.
🩺 Insurance: You’re going to want to mobilize your insurance. When you’re trying to get health insurance, prescriptions or go to the doctor, etc… make sure that the health insurance plan that you have can actually travel with you, and it’s not just specific to a certain state or location. You need to be able to get all of your medical services while you’re on the road. (This goes for your Auto and RV Insurance as well.)
.
📝 Documents: You will want to digitize your documents. Everything that you have on paper needs to go into a file uploaded online so that you can get it from anywhere.

Step #4 – Buy An RV.

How To Prepare For Full Time RV Living Beginners Guide – STEP 4 is to Buy An RV!
.
💰 Before buying an RV, you really wanna understand the RV buying process and how it works from start to finish.
.
🎓 RV Orientation: There’s your RV orientation after you’ve actually bought the RV that you’re going to want to learn the RV when they walk you through it.
.
✅ RV PDI: You want to have your RV pre-delivery inspection checklist so that once you get the RV, you can check it over and make sure everything is the way it’s supposed to be. If not, you can have those things fixed or altered before actually taking delivery of the RV or taking the RV off the lot once you’ve purchased it.
