Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Okay, so the boyfriend and I have decided to take the plunge and commit to the whole full-time thing. We're hoping to find someplace to camp host but also want to work on some crafting (he's going to be doing walking sticks and I've got a candle project that I want to start). What we were both wondering is, are there rules against selling items on your personal time at the campground? I'm probably going to be looking more for consignment opportunities at gift shops but a campground seems like an ideal place for a walking stick market.
Obviously, no matter what, we'll have to check with the people running the specific camp we end up working at but does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing in general?
I saw once several years ago a campground that had a shop and they had some crafts consigned in their little store. My guess is that selling out of the RV itself would probably not be something I would count on. In KS, the Farmer's Markets allow craft sales from individuals and in the bigger town where we are now are living, they hold a winter market in the an auditorium and that would mostly be crafts because nothing grows here in the winter months. Summer festivals could be another venue to look at. We went to a Steam Tractor and Farm Implement Sale (lot of walking) and a man selling walking sticks was doing a great job at selling them.
Good answers above.
I have seen some RV parks that will allow ad posting on a bulletin board but very few that allow sales ads on the RV.
