Working RVers have a world of choices. As I'm updating the website, I'm finding articles I've forgotten about. Yes, there are entire sections on the more popular ways to earn a living while RVing -- see a few of them below. But, we also have articles on the website about less common ways to earn as you travel.
Campground jobs are perfect for some RVers. They are also a good place to look for jobs for next season. Camp hosting is ideal for RVers who want to move seasonally. The Help Wanted ads on our website are a good place to look for current openings. You'll find work-for-site openings. You'll also find RV park jobs that pay an hourly wage for ALL hours worked, PLUS provide you with an RV site and your water, sewer, electricity, wifi, Cable TV,
and other benefits.

If you are looking
for employment that allows you to move at will, sign up with a temporary staffing agency. You may have job assignments at various businesses. However, you will have one employer -- the temp agency. The work may take a few hours. Some assignments can last days or weeks. Some companies have on-going work available through temp services.
Here's an example of that last category. One of our readers
worked at a factory. He put the rubber bands around cans of fix-a-flat that hold the straws to the cans. The job could have been indefinite. The factory would have hired him full-time, permanent. But, working through the temp agency, gave him the flexibility he wanted. He could take days off to travel. He could take days to do tourist things. When he had time or needed money, he'd go to the temp office. They'd send him back to the factory job site. Steady employment when desired. No commitment.
Free to travel when hitch-itch hit.

Self-employment gives you the most options. The services you can provide and the products you can sell are countless. Turn a hobby into a business. Use the skills you learned on the job. Freelance.
Create your own products and sell them. Here's just a sampling of
ideas: wood puzzles, cleaning solution, braided rugs, baked goods, dog beds, personalized storybooks, and fishing weights. Sales outlets include vending events, online shops, wholesaling to small stores, or supplying a major retailer.
This is getting long, and I don't want to go on forever about sales. Sales is one avenue of self-employment. But, only one. And selling things you make is only one
part of sales.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of what is available to RVers. We haven't touched on union labor jobs, working the oil fields, property caretaking, auditing, trouble shooting, gas line inspections, working at theme parks and amusement centers, retail jobs, harvesting, travel nurses, fireworks stands, the fishing industry, or volunteering. We'll look at these and other in coming
issues of the newsletters. Some of the others are less common, but nonetheless highly profitable.
Remember in between newsletters, you can find announcements, website updates, and the newest job postings here.

Put on a clean shirt, comb your hair, and show up for the interview on time. Those three things set successful job applicants apart
from those who do not get the jobs. That advice comes straight from the hiring manager of a local business who hires hundreds of short-term workers. When I checked with others who employ seasonal workers, I got the same message. It is terribly simplistic advice, however, it is crucial and often overlooked.
