I may be moving into my RV and traveling the state of Arkansas due to my husband's job. We may be in an area for a few months or it could be only a few days. I have the PC logo on my car and a banner I can put up at my campsite. Does anyone have any kind of experience with this? I just looking to keep my business going as best I can.
 
Wow! Out of the box- but what an opportunity! Good luck!
 
Sounds like you could focus on catalog/online shows. At your campsite, set up a display with those tools that make camp life easier--Manual Food Processor, Flexible Cutting Mats, etc.
 
I spent 3 months last summer in Missouri with my Mother before her heart surgery. I took my business with me as well. Did Facebook parties/catalog shows & made lots of phone calls. It does work! Hand out mini catalogs to folks when you are shopping for groceries, hand out recipe cards with your info printed on them!
While some may not want to have a "show," it can be possible that they will order individually because you have provided the website address!
I agree with raebates with MFP, flexible cutting mats, knives (because they come with the protectors & can be kept in a drawer for safety in an RV!). Lots of products can be great in an RV!
 
Sounds like you could focus on catalog/online shows
