Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
Hello from asea! We are in the middle of a Caribbean cruise. The highlight of this one is the Panama Canal. We left out of Galveston, about a week ago. We should be back to the RV resort there about this time next week.
Oh, how working-while-RVing has changed through the years. Well, changed through the decades, really. Much of that is because of technology and the available means to communicate. Back in 1991, we used pay phones, inserting coins. Phone cards were quite the next big thing! Now, with cell phones, we can make calls when there’s no
land in sight. On-board wi-fi lets us make website updates, whether we are in Aruba, Curacao, or Costa Rica.
There are many advantages to having an RV-based business. Some of them are tax related. Others center around the mobility it provides, including being able to take it with us when we are temporarily away from the RV.
We’re enjoying our break. We should have all sorts of stories to tell when we return. We may even have a few pictures.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

Working RVer Tip
Every business does things a bit differently. The way you did your job at the last place may or may not be the way they want it done at the next place. A willingness to follow directions is often cited as a key behavior in job success.

RV Work and Tax Advantages
I mentioned in the Newsletter intro that there can be tax advantages for having an RV-based home business. Here, you are probably expecting the required disclaimer that I’m not a tax expert or attorney, and therefor cannot give expert tax advice—that’s true, I’m not the expert. However, we do have articles on our website that
are written by a tax expert, Martin Shenkman. He’s a certified public accountant, a tax attorney, and he’s a working RVer.
Marty has written a series of articles for us. He discusses turning your hobby into a business. Several articles cover determining your tax domicile and state tax issues. Several others look at the various forms of business entities. There are more.

Working RVer Tip
Most any job can be a good job, if you look at with the right mindset. You may not like the work itself. But, it can be a good job if it is close to family or lets you live in a beautiful national park for several months. The weather may be cruddy, but putting up with it for a few weeks can be worthwhile if you earn enough there
so you do not need to work for the rest of the year.

Working RVer Tip
It’s often easier to find work after you reach your destination than it is from half-way across the country. If you call them from a thousand miles away, and they have an opening today, you can’t be there to start right away. However, if you are already in the area, you have the advantage of being able to start when they need
you. Keep in mind, too, that if you go to the job site in person, and favorably impress them, they may hire you sooner than they planned to hire someone. Impress them enough, and they may even create a position for you.
