Re: Workcamper News
The only reason I subscribe to Workamper News is for the daily job alerts. The Workamper magazine has the same employers and ads for the last ten years. There are plenty of free sites out there. I have been a single work camper for the last seven years. I have worked with plenty of single female work campers, one was 77 years old. Making 12000 a year wouldn't be a problem, I just did my taxes and I made over 20000. Here is an example. You could work for Hoodoo in Washingto as a camp host. They usually pay ten bucks an hour plus some perks. For a five month period you would gross about 8000.00. Then go and work for Amazon for three months 500 x12 weeks = 6000.00 (sometimes they will even extend the season for another couple of months). You will have grossed about 14,000 for the year. For the winter, there are numerous opportunities to work just for your site. Problems with your hubby? I can't help you there.

I'm in my early forties and have been work camping for the last seven years. I have never regretted leaving the rat race. In the summer I usually work for concessionaire run campgrounds in the National Forest. Sometimes its only min wage but I have made up to 11 bucks an hour and had a work truck. Since my speciality is working at remote campsites without utilities, I usually have my pick at campgrounds. I've worked in Maine, Va, NC, Georgia, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. There are times I can't believe I'm getting paid to do this. In the fall I work at Amazon then find something in the winter for a few months. I have a late model van towing a 25ft trailer. I did the motor home with the motorcycle on the back, but going to town to do laundry and getting supplies grew old, especially in the rain/snow. Getting a CDL is a good idea. I've seen job offers for 21 bucks an hour driving a shuttle bus at the Grand canyon and Bar Harbor. Of course you can wait another 20 years but will you be healthy enough? Or even alive. I've had two people die in my campgrounds within weeks of retiring. (at age 62). Of course its up to you know what you want to do, but for me the most expensive thing in life is regret.
