THE SHORT ANSWER

Plan how you will handle work, mail, healthcare, insurance, maintenance, and unexpected downtime before committing to full-time RV living. Test an extended trip first. Legal residency, tax, and coverage questions deserve advice specific to your circumstances.

FIELD NOTE / 01

Try a longer stay before changing everything

Work, cook, do laundry, and handle bad weather from the RV for a realistic trial. Test your internet at the times you need it. Notice how the layout works after the novelty wears off.

FIELD NOTE / 02

Give each recurring task a reliable process

List mail, renewals, prescriptions, appointments, bills, vehicle service, and pet care. Assign a process and backup for each. Verify residency and tax decisions with qualified professionals who understand your situation.

FIELD NOTE / 03

Keep an off-road contingency

Decide what happens when the RV is in a repair shop or a planned campsite closes. Keep accessible records, emergency contacts, and room in your budget for alternative lodging and transport.
