Saying a person moving around to different pipeline welding jobs is an RVer is the same as saying waiter on a cruise ship is taking a Carribean Cruise.
As we have traveled across the country, we have met a lot of folks in campgrounds and RV parks that are working on highway, pipeline, power plant and other projects. We met a gentleman working on a project in Pensacola, FL this winter that has worked in Alaska, North Dakota and lots of places in between as a welder and pipefitter. In the plains states, we meet folks that work operating and maintaining the planting and harvesting equipment like combines and driving grain trucks from the fields to the drying, storage or shipping facilities. We have also met independent insurance appraisers/adjusters that work the aftermath of disasters like wildfires, tornados and hurricanes. I don't think many of these folks consider themselves RVers and the ones that I have talked to don't belong to any RV related organizations.
