Two days at the dentist in Mexico, and we've accomplished what it would have taken umpteen visits over a course of who-knows-how-many months in the states. We had major work done, so we are still healing. But, so far, it's been a positive experience. We went to Nuevo Progreso, which is near Weslaco, Texas. We'll be reporting more on this over the coming
weeks.

When something doesn't go right at work, you don't necessarily need to "shut-up and take it." Choose a time and place when you can reasonably and respectfully discuss the matter
with your supervisor. That means be calm. Don't make threats. Don't do it in front of customers or other staff. = = = = =Facebook Friends and FansWorkers On Wheels now has an official Facebook page.

Vehicle Age Restrictions
~~ An RVer asks: Does the age of the RV limit available work? What's wrong with older RV's? I recently acquired a 1977, 26-foot Class A motorhome. The previous owner took very good care of this vehicle. Outside of the typical '70s motif, it looks and runs great. Surprisingly enough, everything works and it doesn't leak
oil.
Am I to assume I cannot find a work camper job, or am very limited, because of the vehicle's age?
~~ I answered in part: No. The age of the recreational vehicle should have little (or nothing) to do with your ability to find a job.
We have a poll on the website asking our readers if they have ever been turned down for a job because of the age of their RV. As I write this, only about 10 percent indicated they had been.
