It put me far too early into my dream job of full-timing and workkamping. I was fortunate that I was able to luck into something in July that just finished (I have a house to decide what to do with n maintenance etc.) I absolutely had a wonderful time there so I am looking to see what all is out there. Since most of the available places ask for couples... I am single... I may have my brother talked into doing it with me! *grins* I am able to do this short term without any actual money coming in for a short time but eventually I would be looking for financial income. I think the first part of next year is taken care of for now but I am trying to think ahead and look for places in advance. I have a few websites to look at but was wondering if there was any thing or place I should also check into seeing as how I have time now to pre-arrange? My ultimate goal is to go between few places so I can commit to longer times. Thanks for any suggestions! 2004 Nissan Titan, 5.6L Big tow 2007 Forest River Salem 26TBSSLE always myself of course tagalongs on occasion are DS and when possible DM (dear mom) DD and DGD (dear granddaughter) wepampercampers • View posts Full-Timers on the road to snowbird country Senior Member Joined: 03/15/2006 View Profile Posted: 11/04/09 08:05am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator you will likely want to look further south, not neccessarily all the way south, but to where the weather is capable to allow camping year around..also very important is look for somewhere you want to be or go or visit.......there are even a few parks that are closed in the winter but have caretakers, security or minor maintenance (like things you do around the house) people in the winter... and single or couple doesn't matter as much as some might say....get that foot in the door and show them what you can do for them and their operation and you will have your choice of locations and jobs. After a bit you will be surprised at how really similar all those jobs are....also some volunteer positions have a stipend that cover some of your expences...so with many expences covered by your services, one mostly ends up paying for food and insurances and your entertainment costs go down due to the beautiful outdoors and goofy people......have fun. happy trails Don Jo 'n Don www.PamperingCampers.com or some work camping jobs can be found at http://www.pamperingcampers.com/state_workamping.html alpenliter • View posts Olympia WA Senior Member Joined: 04/10/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 11/04/09 08:48am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Here you go.
