It is a very tough life being on the road. I am on the road about 2 to 3 months out the year split up into 2 and 3 week trips. I admit I travel in luxury in our coach and have plenty of room for living. Our coach is 40 ft long with 4 pop out slides and has everything I need - living room, two flat screen TV's, kitchen, dining, bath, shower, bedroom and office area. I could never do it living out of a suitcase and in hotel rooms.
I still do not like all the travel and being gone from home. I miss the wife and our two knuckleheads ( german shepherds ) and I also miss the house and shop. There are numerous vendors I do shows with who travel in luxury coaches and live on the road. Several do not even have a house but live in their rigs. They do one show and head off to another. They have a lot of down time as the shows are typically not back to back so they lay up at a resort or campground for a week or two, rest, relax and head off to another show. Everything they sell is drop shipped to the venues and excess unsold products carried to the next show.
We have peaked in our current growth cycle and I know the only way to grow bigger is to hit more shows. We are doubling our show schedule next year which will mean more travel and I am not looking forward to it. But my schedule pales in comparison to most of these vendors. One thing that is cool is we do so many shows together that most of us become friends and help each other out.
I just had a custom made enclosed show trailer made for us and bought a UTV type golf cart. This is my first show using it and it has worked out great. Our coach has a big ( fuel guzzling ) diesel and tows it easily. We are doing some outdoor shows next year and this trailer has a concession window so I won't be inside a booth.
Doing the shows we do most vendors have to turn over a minimum of $ 2,000 in 3 days to break even. The costs for the show, travel, special insurance, etc. gets costly. I have seen a lot of vendors go broke and sell out. Most were selling the wrong products while others had too much competition selling the same products. Others simply had no business being in sales.

It is a helluva way to make a living being full time on the road. Some simply love the lifestyle. Myself, I could never do it full time.
