Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
It’s a beautiful day here on Galveston Island. We are usually up to watch the sun rise. It’s a blazing bright ball of glowing orange-red. Absolutely gorgeous! We linger over that first cup of coffee, and if Bob’s not on pool duty, we linger over the second cup, too.
We watch birds. A nest of killdeers hatched, and the fluffy little chicks waddle. Pink birds! I can’t tell you how many times we’ve interrupted ourselves to point out the window and call attention to the showy magenta Roseate Spoonbills.
Although I looked forward to coming here, I thought we would miss the wonderful wildlife that we enjoyed all winter in Concan. And, then, a coyote walked through the park, about 40 feet behind our motorhome.
Bob’s added two new tasks to his working repertoire: pool maintenance and golf cart rental. He’s the relief man for cleaning and maintaining the resort swimming pool, spa, and lazy river. Golf cart rental involves washing and fueling the carts, as well as delivery and pick-up. Another RVer usually handles the golf carts, but, again, Bob’s the relief guy covering his co-worker’s days off. When he’s not covering
those duties, he’s building, fixing, and doing whatever else needs doing around the resort.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,

Working RVer Tip
State parks are still looking for volunteers for this coming summer. You can usually find contact info for the volunteer coordinator on the website for the particular state's park system. You may have better results going directly to the ranger or staff of a specific park, rather than going through the official state-wide coordinator.

Supplemental Income: A Second (or Third) Source of Income Makes Life Easier
A supplemental income -- a second source of money -- takes the pressure off when your regular way of earning a living falters. Multiple streams of income make it easier for working RVers. In this article, Bob shares about work he did when we were set up at a flea market and sales were on the slow side.

Make Wash Day Easier
No more lugging around a heavy jug of detergent and a bunch of other laundry products. One laundry sheet cleans, whitens, brightens, removes stains, softens, and reduces static cling. One sheet—looks like a regular dryer sheet—goes into the washer. When you move your clothes to the dryer, the laundry sheet goes along into the dryer. That’s it!

Things We Have Learned While Being Camphosts At a State Park
Being camphosts is pretty much a 24/7 position. If you want an actual day off, leave the park. While you are there, people will approach you asking for information. Being a good camphost, you will answer them with a smile, whether you are on duty or not.

Working RVer Tip
An employer is more likely to respect you (and hire you) if you admit your limits than if you claim to know how to do everything.
