Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
“Are there jobs for RVers who don’t have an RV?” It was only after I’d answered that question and received an email back wishing me a happy April Fools’ Day did I realize it was meant to be a prank question.
Because we get that question quite often. Folks want to work in outdoor recreation settings. Or, they want seasonal work. Or, they are between RVs. Or, because they want to work in campgrounds. Or, they want to be snowbirds and winter at RV resorts in a warm place. There are more reasons, but those are the most common.
Jobs with housing can fill the gap between living in a traditional home that you own or rent and when you get your RV. A variety of work options include room and board or lodging accommodations.
We have an article about this on the Workers On Wheels website. We linked to it earlier this year. If you missed it, click here.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,

Working RVer Tip
Not all jobs for RVers include an RV site on the work property. Some employers, such as Amazon, pay for your RV space at a campground that they do not own. Other employers require that you find and pay for your own site. Still, those jobs can be excellent for RVers because of the duration, location, or compensation.

Property Caretaker Compensation and Benefits
I've heard property caretaking described as "rent free living." That may be a part of it, and it often is. But, there's more to it than that. Monetary compensation may also be part of it. And, then, there are all the extras that save you money or simply make life more enjoyable.
