Our most recent episode (Episode 020) is with Eric & Tami Johnson with TechnoRV.com.
A lot of people seek to become Workampers when they decide to pursue the RV lifestyle. But, some people start businesses while others figure out ways to bring a current business with them.
Eric and Tami Johnson opted to buy an existing business, and use that to finance their travel dreams. They still qualify as Workampers because they are living and working from their RVs.
They explain why buying an existing business was the best choice for them because they knew it would provide cash flow from Day One.
