Not sure how that could really replace the goods available on the internet. Most libaries have internet , so the internet is really quite accessable. Internet shops could end up having lower overhead , once you figure vehicle, insurance, gas, maintainience, lodging, meals etc. I figure you could end up with a $2,200.00 per month overhead very easily. That means you need to sell $4,400.00 to break even . Thats about 25 + yards per day to break even( 5 days per week) . What about bad weather and no one wants to venture to your "truck" .. so the next few days you will need to make it up just to make your overhead.
Those really rural areas will take some gas $$ to get to and fabric is heavy , so mileage will be very low.
Think about the members of this board who internet shop now because getting to a shop is too far and costs more than the gas to get there.
I'm not trying to throw all the water on your business plan , but make out a business plan listing ALL of the costs , prior to selling your first yard of fabric. Ask yourself how many people are without internet, either at home, or work.
