As a business owner, I will only deal with local tradesmen, because they are going to be there should problems arise. Since most workamping positions seldom pay much over minimum wage, I doubt many businesses are going to offer $40 an hour, barter or not.
For a larger upscale C.G. to have all their heating,cooling, refrigeration equipment thoroughly inspected and serviced professionally in exchange for some free nights stay... has no bearing on future breakdowns and calling someone in locally for that. Theyd have to do that in any case.
If theres a lot of equipment to service....I would be willing to do a fair and equitable Barter even as low as $15 per hour on my end . That's considerably cheaper than the going $85-120 per hour from a local Contractor. I found a 5 star RV Park in Arizona that has a few buildings, café, etc... and im going to propose my professional HVAC services and non-professional services to see if they are interested . If their concern is liability, then id be pleased to sign a waiver releasing them of any possible injury to myself (which they most likely have everyone sign in any case who does workamp grunt work for them) .
