Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
We’re seeing more and more signs of this summer turning into a hugely busy RVing and camping season!
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week issued a new cruise ship no-sail order. It bans cruise ships from operating in the United States either until the coronavirus pandemic is declared over or for the next 100 days, whichever comes first. With cruising no longer an option, more people are going to turn to
RV and camping trips.
Similarly, when allowed to travel freely, I think folks are going to turn to RVs instead of traveling by car and staying in motels. There’s a lot to be said for sleeping in your own RV--or even a rented one--instead of a motel. In your RV, you don’t need to worry about who slept in that bed last, or what disease they may have
had.
Social distancing is easier in the open spaces of fishing lakes, wilderness trails, and rustic camping areas than many other recreational pursuits. A family sitting around the campfire isn’t going to be breathing in the faces of strangers.
More good news is that campgrounds and RV resorts are using this time to improve and expand their facilities. Staff are doing deep cleanings. Maintenance crews are busy repairing and remodeling. More sites are being made available.
I know many of you are uncertain of your summer plans. Some jobs have been cancelled. Others have had delayed start dates. Even if the job still exists, there’s uncertainty about your ability to get there.
But, jobs will open up! The busy camping and RVing season ahead means there will be numerous last minute positions to fill. Park owners will be scrambling to find enough workers to meet their staffing needs.
Folks are eagerly waiting for states to lift the shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders. When that happens, there is going to be a demand for seasonal and short-term workers. Not only at campgrounds and RV parks, but at numerous businesses across the country. Be ready for these opportunities!
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
