Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor

Do working RVers really get paid? Yes. And, no, it isn't just minimum wage. It is a myth that working RVers cannot earn career level incomes. Mobile employees typically receive the same or higher pay as stationary employees. Plus, mobile workers often receive subsistence pay or a housing allowance, in addition to wages. It is true that some RVers choose to volunteer for non-monetary benefits and some choose low-paying jobs -- just like some non-RVers choose those. There are so many options. It is up to each RVer to choose.

Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,

Coleen

JR Watkins - A Location Independent Business for RVers

Bob and I have been selling JR Watkins products since 2005. People love the vanilla, cinnamon, and pepper, the old time remedies, and the natural skin care products - and that makes it easy to sell. The business is extremely flexible. You do as much or as little as you want. No minimum orders. They'll drop-ship the products for you. Work the business wherever your RV travels take you -- USA or Canada. See the product catalog and learn more.

Working RVer Tip -- Contracts Aren't for Everyone

Rather than requiring a written contract that spells out your specific job duties, go into the job with an attitude of flexibility. If you are willing to do what needs to be done, a reputable employer will treat you right. And, a less than scrupulous employer probably isn't going to honor a written contract, anyway.
