Bob and I celebrate our 37^th wedding anniversary this week. We haven’t spent all of our married life as working RVers. But, we have been on the road for a good share of it. We thrive on the closeness of living, working, and traveling together.

Our work has been unique, fun, and educational. Bob’s worked for a tourist steam train restoring a 1928 Baldwin 2-6-6-2T articulated Mallet locomotive -- it is the only 2-6-6-2T Mallet in service in the world. He’s planted over a million baby pine trees for a conservation and land reclamation program in Alabama. I’ve done courthouse research and lead brothel tours. Our museum jobs taught us much about Alaska history, industry and way of life. This spring, we cared for dozens of newly hatched baby chicks!

I’ve been making a list of the types of work we’ve done. So far, there are over 100 different kinds of jobs. Some of them are hour-long gigs helping another RVer. Others are things we’ve done for decades as we roam the country. I have the list posted on our Workers On Wheels website. I’ll be adding to it as we continue our RVing journey.

Working RVer Tip

Keep a work log. Note the days you work. Write down the time you start and the time your workday ends. Make notes about what you did throughout the day. If you attended meetings, note those. Document anything unusual or out of the ordinary. Record any work related expense. Jot down the highlight of each day. Be sure to put the date on each entry.
