Rolling real estate office
A real estate broker in Spokane, WA has set up an RV as an office and uses it to take clients to look at properties. While enroute (with her husband or co-worker driving), Julie Anne Young uses her computer in the office area to allow clients to choose the properties they want to see. Wireless Internet keeps her connected and a TV screen shows the properties in larger size. The outside of the RV is a rolling advertisement for her business.(See article.)
This sort of setup could work for workers on the RV road who snowbird and spend at least one season in the same area each year. This would allow for deductibility of many expenses including much of the RV - or all, if used exclusively for business.
Maybe you can put your RV to a creative business use and thereby gain deductions on your tax return. Jaimie Hall-Bruzenak

Jaimie, do campground owners object to RVers who come in with business advertising plastered all over the outside of their RV? My hubby & I both have our own businesses & want to go FT, but wonder if putting our business names, pho #'s on the outside of the RV will be frowned upon.

In general, no. Some RV parks do have an age limit. As long as your rig still looks well-cared for and the advertising isn't over the top, you should be fine.
If you will actually conduct business in the park (depending on the service or product your offer), check with the owner first. There could be liability or local licensing issues involved.
Good luck! Other RVers do this very successfully. Jaimie
