We sometimes leave the RV for a few days, but that doesn’t mean we leave RVing. We recently took a break from our Georgia caretaking position. We headed down to St. Petersburg, Florida.

One of our first stops – really three stops in one – was to look at new RVs. We’re only shopping casually. We like to keep up with what is available. And, you just never know when we may find what turns into our next RV. Most of the RVs on these three lots fell into two groups – large motorhomes or small travel trailers. A Winnebago Class B caught my eye from the outside, but the interior layout seemed more appropriate for camping than for RV living.  

Something that struck me on this trip were all of the Halloween related work opportunities there are for RVers. We saw several pop-up Halloween costume shops – you know, those retailers that set up shop for six weeks or so to sell costumes and ghoulish accessories. For those who enjoy set design and acting, there were haunted houses. Pumpkin patches provide a short-term sales opportunity. While flea markets are always an option for working RVers, this time of year brings out vendors specializing in pumpkin spiced baked goods; Halloween collectables; cheap Halloween trinkets and decor; and vintage clothing repositioned for costumes.

If you are looking for short-term work, there’s still time to jump on one of the Halloween gigs for the next couple of weeks. If you are a planner, keep these in mind for next fall.

Campground Work Goes Beyond Volunteer Work Camping: It Includes Paid Jobs

Campground work is right for RVers. Retired full-timers like the benefits of volunteer working camper positions. Working RVers who need to earn a living find RV park or camp jobs that pay wages.

For couples, campground work expands their financial options. One person might work at the park, while another has paid employment elsewhere. It also makes sense to help at the park in exchange for a site while pursuing your RV-home based business. You'll find an entire section about campground work on the website.

Working RVer Tip

Mind your manners. "Please," "thank you," excuse me," "good morning," and "good night," have amazing impact.
