Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
When several people ask, it’s likely that others want to know, too. We’ll write more about these later. But, to keep you in the loop, here are answers—in short form—to some of the questions we’ve received lately:
- Bob and I are currently in Galveston, TX. Bob’s currently working at Galveston Island RV Resort.
- We had a great winter in Concan, TX! We both enjoyed our stay at Camp Riverview. Bob worked at the campground.
- We do still have our second hand store in Alaska. We’ll get back to it sometime, but not necessarily this summer.
- If you saw a Help Wanted ad on our site, but it isn't there now, it means that the position is filled and we were asked to remove it, or that it otherwise expired.
- Yes, there are jobs that want one employee. This is true for solo RVers and for couples that have only one partner available for work.
- We post info about all sorts of work because there are all sorts of RVers.
- There’s no one best time to find a job, but now is a very good time. Employers are hiring for summer, as well as for next winter.
- Yep, we went on a trip—without the RV. We took a Western Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean. It was a super way for us to recharge our personal batteries!
- I don’t know how long we are going to be here or where we are headed when we leave here. Hitch-itch is bound to strike us, but for now, we’re loving Galveston Island!
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,

Working RVer Tip
Gain experience by working for a temp staffing firm. If you've been busy raising a family or otherwise lack employment experience, working with a temp agency can help beef up your resume. And, you get paid for it.

Bait Shrimping with Captain Eddie
Shrimp boats line the channel behind our motorhome. We are at an RV park in Port Isabel, in southern Texas. The banter of the shrimping crews, much of it in Spanish, wakes us most mornings. If that doesn't, the starting of the boat engines does. I watch. I wonder what it is like to work on one of those boats.

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.

Volunteer Organizations That Are Christian RV Groups

Working RVer Tip
Employers may have concerns about your physical ability to do the job. You can eliminate these fears by giving examples of physical tasks you do in your current job. Or, let employers know about your hobbies that require physical stamina.

Working RVer Tip
Take time to figure out your job needs and interests. It will be easier for you to choose the right position if you have a clear idea of what you need from the job. Do you need an hourly wage, or will you be satisfied with an RV site and paid utilities? Do you need social interaction, or do you prefer to work alone? How important is it to be close to shopping?
