You Might Be a Redneck If....
It sounds like the makings of a Jeff Foxworthy joke, but some entrepreneurs are taking there home-based businesses and making the "home" part mobile. RV-based entrepreneurship seems to be a new trend as seen in this article at StartupJournal.
"When Richard Dahl sold everything and hit the road 10 years ago, he planned to relax and tour the country full time with his wife. That got old after six months, so he decided to start a business and run it out of the couple's 36-foot Holiday Rambler travel trailer.
"After unsuccessful stints selling campground memberships and trying other ventures, Mr. Dahl, of Roseburg, Ore., created a water filter for recreational-vehicle plumbing systems. He manufactured them himself using off-the-shelf materials and sold them at trailer parks, campgrounds and motor-home shows. He moved more than 1,300 of the $30 devices over the next couple of years, enough to finance his rambling and then some."
