Working RVers are a diverse group. Contrary to what some believe, not all working RVers are elderly retired couples who want to trade a few hours work each week for a campsite. That stereotype is just a myth.

If you are a solo RVer, the outlook is excellent! There’s no need to feel left out of the fold. Many of the job listings we post are for individuals. And, even those that indicate they are looking for couples may consider single workers. Unless the Help Wanted ad clearly specifies “couples only,” solo RVers can reach out to those employers.

In fact, some of the jobs that pay RVers the best hire individuals, not couples. Heavy equipment operators, travel nurses, engineers, advertising sales, casual longshoremen, substitute teachers, computer programmers, welders, skilled tradesmen…and that’s just the start of a very long list. 

Still, we understand that sometimes a person just needs some extra support. Connections are oh so important! There are several RVing groups specifically for helping single RVers.

Working RVer Tip

You can work craft shows, holiday bazaars, and flea markets this time of year, even if you aren't crafty and haven't already made up a bunch of stuff to sell. Set up a gift wrapping booth. You can also use this idea to piggy-back on vendor fairs, those events where Tupperware, Avon, Watkins, Mary Kay, and other direct sales company reps get together to sell at a combined event.
