Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
It’s an excellent time to be a working RVer!
RVing isn’t what it used to be—thank goodness! Working RVers have always had numerous options for earning a living. But, changes in RVs, technology, and attitudes have expanded those work opportunities even further.
Working for temporary staffing agencies has been popular with RVers for decades. Years ago, filling out the contact information part of the application was tricky. Should you write in “No Phone,” or give the campground’s phone number? Now, we provide our cell number and email address, without a second thought.
RV park rates are climbing. There are reports that in some parts of the country it is hard to find a campground space. Membership parks, along with state and national parks, have rules limiting how long you can stay. You can side-step those issues by working at the park. You can also circumvent them by working non-park jobs that
provide you on-site or nearby RV parking.
Social media manager, app developer, virtual assistant, SEO specialist, podcast host…. Readily available and reliable internet access has opened up a slew of remote jobs that didn’t even exist 20 years ago. You can work these remote jobs while staying in a campground—or while boondocking; taking a break at a rest area; or while
your partner is driving down the interstate.
Ah, yes, how RVing has changed! Embrace it. Enjoy it. Make the most of what you like best about being an RV worker.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

Working RVer Tip
National park campground host positions don’t always get filled. Sure, the most popular locations do. However, lesser known or more remote parks may have camp host vacancies at any time. If you like remote locations and don’t mind driving on a gravel road to get to them, they may be a good fit for
you.

Working RVer Tip
Read help wanted ads and job descriptions carefully to determine what compensation or perks they provide. Camp hosting at a government park may be posted as a volunteer position. Yet, the job may include a cash stipend. On the other hand, some campgrounds indicate they provide a free RV site, however, you are paying for it with
your time and efforts.
