Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
In an interview last week, I was asked to sum up our experience as working RVers. WOW! Boiling 28 years of work, life, and travel down into one sentence is bit tricky. Here’s what I came up with:
"As working RVers, we get to travel, try new things and learn new skills, and to experience life from northern Alaska to the southern tip of Texas."
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,

Earn Your Living with a Blog or Website
A blog or website is yet another way to earn a living without being tied to one location. Your blog can be about most anything. Picking a topic that you enjoy can make it seem more like fun than work. Still, you have to figure out a way to make money with it. SoloBuiltIt! (SBI!) is an all-in-one program that guides you from picking a profitable website topic, to building the actual site, to keeping up with
ever-changing technology. Yes, we use SIB! for our Workers On Wheels website.

Working RVer Tip
Give a little more to your job than the minimum required. Even in today’s world, those who do a little extra are often rewarded in some way or another.

Working RVer Tip
Some people assume that the job of the camp host is to socialize with campers visiting the park. That may be true, but if so, it is probably only part of the job. In many instances, the real job of the camp host is to clean the bathrooms or porta-potties.
