Where you park your rig can make or break your cash flow.
Rule # 1. After you finish a market, leave.
Do not hang around and spend money. Head for your next market. Get set up and in place. Things sometimes happen unexpectedly and the last thing you want is to miss out on some neat money-making market because you had an unplanned delay.
Look at it this way. You just finished a three-day market and picked the next weekend market. It’s a day’s run from where you are. It makes more sense to have some slack time in your schedule. Take off on Monday and get it over with.
Find a nice campground and kick back until the next weekend. This gives you a chance to check out the new market. You can sometimes make reservations early and get your booth paid for in advance.
Check out the local area. NO rush, no fuss. You are well rested and ready to have a great weekend.
If you stay where you are and make a mad dash on Thursday or Friday … well,
just don’t do it. You will be cutting your time too close. You will also be tired when you start selling. This will affect your sales.

My advice - never go anywhere on a weekend. If possible, stay where you are for the whole weekend. Let things get back to normal on Monday. You know,
everybody’s back at work except you! Ha, and me!
