Question
A freind of mine told me theres good money year round hauling RV campers.Im very interested.but have very little info on how to get started.? How and where do i start?Looking to get out of a dead end job. Thanks, Call Me Reedy.

Answer
Hi Reedy.

You should start calling the different manufacturers.  Contact places like Keystone RV in Goshen, Indiana.  They need RVs shipped across the country.  Start researching RV manufacturers.  There is good money in it.  If you don't have a truck to pull the campers, ask who they ship with and contact those carriers for a job.  It would be worth your while, though, to buy a dually, diesel truck.  That's where the money will be.

Here's a list of manufacturers you should call.  It will take time, but go through the list and start calling.

Good luck!
