How to Find a Job While RVing
When Juanita Barker packs her RV, she makes sure to include her Karaoke equipment. A singer and a DJ, she works on the road as an activity director at campgrounds across the country. “When we do Karaoke (and a lot of singing by me) we will have two hundred folks come and stay for the entire evening,” she smiles. Juanita is one of thousands who combines her love of the RV lifestyle with a desire to work.
There are many reasons RVers like to work while traveling. Some find the challenge stimulating. Others want the extra money. Then there are those who get a sense of accomplishment from a job well done. No matter what your motivation, there are plenty of ways to become employed while seeing the country from the comfort of your RV.
Many campgrounds offer “work-camping” where you work for the site in exchange for reduced or free camping fees. Some even hire and pay on a cash basis. Many campgrounds prefer to hire couples and even provide training to help them during the busier times of the year.
Jim Chandler and his wife Yvette have been RVing full-time for five years and love the work-camp lifestyle. They started doing small jobs on the campgrounds where they stayed and recently spent six months managing a campsite in Minnesota. “If I didn’t have something to do, I’d go crazy,” says Jim. “If we really worked at it we could travel the entire country all year and never have to pay for a camp site. With the job we just completed, we’re able to travel the entire country and still have money left over.”

National Parks and the accompanying groups are also a great way to work and camp. NPS.GOV and look for employment for the park you want. Great way to immerse in the park.

Come with us, I play the Dobro, can back you! As to jobs for musicians, from what I have heard, it might get you a freebie night in a campground, put out a tip jar, and there you go. To get better gigs, make a sampler CD, put toghether a resume, and send them out to resorts along the route you want to travel. Include a timetable for when you want to be where. Good luck, and if you get to Yellowstone in the summer, or Zephyrhills in the winter, look me up.
