If you have a mortgage, a full-time job and you work in the CBD, yet you are unhappy with your lifestyle, this article was put together with you in mind. Imagine working from a luxury RV while travelling around Australia? Sell your home, buy a state-of-the-art motorhome and start a new and exciting chapter of your life. If you do not own your home but rent, crunch the numbers to see if you can take out a loan for a second-hand RV, then look at the amount of income you have and if it is doable, why not?
Nationwide camping/parking facilities
Australians love their caravans, campervans and RVs, and wherever you are, you are never far from a campsite with full facilities; you can stay as long as you wish and with the right IT equipment, you have hi-speed Internet on your rig. A typical campsite would have bathrooms and toilets, with a power connection (recharge your batteries too), with a nice relaxation area and an on-site laundrette.
RV upgrades
There really is no limit to what you can do to your RV; run caravan cooking appliances, hot water and your laptops via solar panels that are affixed on the roof.
Here are features you can have in your mobile home:
- Comprehensive climate control
- Shower/bathroom
- Fully equipped kitchen
- 2 bedroom areas
- Relaxing area
- Hot water
- TV/entertainment
- External awning
Many couples pool their wealth, buy a good used RV and upgrade until the unit meets your needs and when you work out your living costs, you save a lot of money and get to see and experience many new places.
Good long-term investment
Of course, a top-of-the-range RV is never going to be cheap; consider it a big-ticket investment much like real estate. Take out comprehensive insurance, maintain the vehicle and you have a good long-term investment, especially now that RV living has really taken off. The only decisions you have to make is where to stop and for how long. You can certainly escape the NSW winter by heading to the Northern Territories while enjoying the outback is also possible.

Solar energy
Now that we have solar energy, you can stock up with food, provisions and drinking water and spend 1 week away from everything. A top-quality solar blanket rolls out on the roof and charges the lithium-ion batteries and you are ready to go anywhere; from a central control power, you can choose to use stored energy or harvest directly from the panels. Of course, you won’t need your clean energy when parked up, as you simply plug into the site’s power grid and you are sorted.
If the idea of travelling around Australia appeals to you, start planning your project and look at a few RVs and that should whet your appetite for the freedom and independence that comes with the RV lifestyle.
