Hi, I am a single female camper looking for work starting in 2021. I prefer the southern states and western states for the winter and the northeast during the spring, summer and fall. But I am open to any offering. This is my first outing as a worker on wheels but I can give you excellent personal references from my work over the past 30 years. I am in excellent health and retiring next year after 30 years in the engineering industry. I can start as early as January. I can clean, sew, host, do any kind of computer work you need (including graphic design). I run and lift weights so I am in good physical condition (I have run 4 marathons) and can do some outside work too, including gardening, painting, etc. I have photography and Photoshop skills and can help with website items also. I have done waitressing and bartending early in my life so can help at weddings and parties and things like that. I own a renovated van with solar and roof deck. I love it. I travel with my cat who is older and sleeps 23.5 hours a day. He is leash trained. He stays close and loves the van and his screen house. We don't take up much space and my rig is very clean. If you need a couple working I am happy to talk to a male who has his own rig and wants to team up at a camp to work. If you email me I will send you a resume of my 30 year work history and references. Please  email me a buffycrosby@yahoo.com

 

We are a workamping couple looking for work. We LOVE to travel and are willing to travel for a position. We have been doing some travelling over the last couple years in our oldie but goodie RV. We currently have a 1985 Chevy Southwind but are looking to upgrade in the coming months. We are currently looking to get out of the big city of Denver and do some workamping. Though we are somewhat new to the workamping side, we are definitely not new to the RV side. Alex has experience in all aspects of the RV repair, groundskeeping, parking, and anything else outside or repair wise that you might need. I (Kourtney) have experience in working with computers and their software, customer service, answering phone calls, and anything else you may need in the office/customer service area.
We are eager to hear from you and to get back out on the road again.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
My email is kourtneys832@gmail.com

Starting a Business 

 

Now that the RV life has taken hold, what is the next step?  The next step is a plan to gain a purpose and opportunities.  Opportunities are everywhere but must be sought out.  Seeking out opportunities are sometimes difficult but other times easy.  For example, take the direct selling industry.  The direct selling industry encompasses: health, beauty, skin care, vitamins, water, oils, candles, etc., many different options to choose.  The direct selling industry teaches skills that are often overlooked for a relatively small starting price usually anywhere from $100.00 to $300.00.  Skills such as time management, business economics, growth, goals, planning are needed when starting a business.  It also allows tax deductions because it is considered a home-based business.  

My wife’s in-home business is beauty and skincare.  She teaches women how to take care of their skin to stay hydrated and younger looking. In addition, she offers quick makeup tips for any age. The company practices the “Golden Rule” and has the philosophy of Faith, Family and Career.  Jen can work for herself but never by herself.  Someone is always willing to help.  There are 2 avenues of income in the direct selling industry basically selling and team building.  With the internet and the goofy times of 2020, selling and team building can be done one-on-one, in small groups, or virtually so basically anywhere. Here is her link for her business website and facebook group and instagram: www.myanchorcard.com/jenerickson 

For a RVer, direct selling industry is the best of both worlds—working from home and traveling across country. We would love to hear your comments or thoughts on this topic. Comment or give feedback to: motorcoachingnewbietopro@gmail.com
