It's good to have the perspectives of others -- even if you don't agree with them.
I posted a series of articles to the Workers On Wheels website that I don't fully agree with. If you've been a
subscriber for long, or if you've read my articles in other publications, you probably know that I am not a big proponent of detailed planning.
Countless spouses, partners, and adult children have written me with sad accounts of how their loved ones dreamed or planned themselves to death. They never made it full-time
RVing because they were always preparing. They literally died getting ready, trying to have everything right before they embarked on their dreams.
Bob and I started out as working full-time RVers under what many would call less than ideal conditions. Our RV was 25 years old. We had very little RVing experience. We
didn't have jobs lined up. We didn't have a lot of money. We didn't have the blessing and encouragement of our family. We consider it fortunate that our research into it amounted to my skimming through a couple books and that we really didn't know what we were doing. We didn't have a concrete plan. When we decided we wanted to be full-time RVers so that we could travel and enjoy life together, we got after it and did it. That was back in 1991. It's one of the best decisions we've ever
made.
Martin M. Shenkman, attorney and certified public accountant, has a different perspective than I do. He stresses the importance of planning and being ready. You can read his articles on the Workers On Wheels website.

I've had people asking for a place to post reviews about campgrounds where they've worked. We do have a section on the Workers On Wheels website for you to post about the good places you work. If you do that, it can be a valuable resource. Your fellow RV workers value your
opinion. Share your experiences, and read reviews other post on our website, by clicking here.

Another Location Independent Business for RVers
Bob and I have been working as Independent Watkins Consultants since 2005. People love the vanilla,
cinnamon, and pepper, the old time remedies, and the natural skin care products - and that makes it easy to sell. It's extremely flexible. You do as much or as little as you want. And, you can work the business wherever your RV travels take you.

Working RVer Tip
If a Help Wanted indicates they are looking for a "retired" person, it typically means they intend to pay you little or no monetary compensation. They expect
you to have other income.

Earn Your Living with a Blog or Website
A blog or website is yet another way to earn a living without being tied to one location. Your blog can be about most anything. Picking a topic that you enjoy can make it seem more like fun than work. Still,
you have to figure out a way to make money with it. If you'd like to see some examples of how of how others are going about it, see the case studies on SiteBuildIt!
