These Full-Timers Run Etsy Shops Out Of Their RVs

This post was updated on March 15th, 2024

Many RV owners dream of becoming full-timers—enjoying life on the road without the encumbrance of a home or property. However, that pesky money issue does get in the way sometimes. These RVers have found a way to make some cash out of their RV by running Etsy shops that feature everything from handmade jewelry to beautifully photographed pillows.

Etsy features artists from all over the world.

Jack and Rose are only in their 40s, but they are retired and live and work out of their 2007 Four Winds Hurricane RV with their Siamese Cat. Rose designs and makes handmade jewelry for her Etsy shop that translates to “What a life” in Spanish.

Que Vida Designs features jewelry inspired by the beach.

The couple tow a “toad” vehicle behind their RV—a 1997 Geo Tracker 4×4. They also document their travels on their website, Shell on Wheels. The couple tends to travel around Florida, the East Coast, and up into the Great Lakes, and their love of the water is reflected in Rose’s designs.
