Workcamper News

My hubby & I were fulltime rv'rs for 7 years. He got tired of workcamping & wanted to retire. So here we are sitting in an old folks resort in a park model in Arizona. He sits in a recliner all day watching t.v. I have 2 questions....1. Do any of you think it is advantages to have a subscription to workcamper to locate jobs? 2. Do any of you think a 62 yr old active, great shape woman could find jobs as a solo workcamper. I just can't stand the thought of sitting here letting life go by waiting to die. I'm thinking of going out on my own, but I would need to make at least $1,000 a month to supplement my income. I would love to hear advice. Thanks....

    We subscribed to Workamper News for about 4 years and never received a job from it...upgraded our resume every 6 months....you have to figure there are several thousand people seeing the same jobs you are posted....they get hit from all sides with applications from all over. We have always done better contacting a campground ourselves. Pick an area you would like to be in, find out all the caampgrounds in that area...send each one an inquirey along with a picture of yourself....Large campgrounds have more openings for single workers than small mom & pop type. Check out the large KOA just west of Mount Rushmore...they hire over 100 workers each year...pay is what you're looking for also

    The bigger issue is fixing the DH. The scenario you describe is not good for anyone of any age. Good luck with the hunt for work and fixing the problem.
