Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor

The flexibility and variety we have as working RVers is tremendous. Dick emails me to say he is running away to join the circus. (He's their new booking agent.) Mary writes that she is working at a Texas campground and vending at flea markets. Excitement rang in Toni's voice as she told me about a volunteer mushroom hunting workshop she is helping with in Alaska.

As your newsletter editor, I get to hear these stories first hand. Other RVers would like to hear them, too. Would you please take a few minutes and share what you are doing with your fellow newsletter readers? It is easy to do on our website.


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

Coleen

Flea Marketing - Our Personal Experience as Flea Market Vendors

Bob and I started full-time RVing in the spring of 1992, working flea markets most every weekend. Over the years, we've set up a booth in states from Alaska to Texas, from the Carolinas to California. I've written a three-part article about our experiences.

Working RVer Tip: Make the Call -- Once

Follow-up on your initial contacts. Your email may have gotten deleted. Your resume may be sitting in a pile on someone's desk, amid 50 others. A phone call can help ensure that you and your application aren't lost. Calling once can be helpful. A word of caution, though -- if you call or email repeatedly within a short period of time, it can do more harm than good.
