Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
RVers often say the best part of their job is working with people. Right now, the best part of being a working RVer may be the ease of social distancing and self-quarantine.
We RVers are fortunate to be in self-contained rigs. I realize not everyone’s situation is the same, so I won’t give advice or tell you what you need to do. For those wondering what we are doing, we are doing tank chores more often than usual. Our normal routine when staying at an RV park is to fill with fresh water and empty
both black and gray water tanks once a week. We’re now doing that routine twice a week.
Having our fresh water tank mostly full and our waste tanks mostly empty just seems like the prudent thing to do. Campgrounds—public and private—may close their bathrooms and shower houses due to public health concerns. (Some of them are closed.) And, if, for whatever reason, we need to relocate, we don’t want to depend on being
able to find open dump stations and fresh water facilities.
We don’t believe in hoarding—as in rushing out to stockpile stuff whenever a crisis is mentioned. We do believe in being prepared. To us, that means having a reasonable amount of supplies on hand. Preparedness means we don’t need to panic when the grocery store runs out of rice, beans, soap, and toilet
paper.
We have articles on our RV Life and Travel website about using RVs during an emergency. Now’s a good time to review them.
Stay healthy and safe. Enjoy your blessings and the beauty around you.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

Working RVer Tip
One way to get started working as a mascot is to rent a costume and then perform at parties, parades, festivals, and other events. You may find you like working independently that way. Or, you can use that experience as a stepping stone for working as a mascot for a business, sports team, or non-profit
organization.

experience in driving a truck, having a sense of humor.
