This book is an excellent resource for anyone looking to get into Workamping - or improving your experience if you've already started. I'll be doing this when I retire and trust me, this book will be my guide." -Deb.M (Amazon Customer) ABOUT HIS Live Camp Work is a practical guide full of information we obtained throughout our RV travel adventure. We learned early on, that securing reliable income was the biggest challenge for RVing full-time. Once we solved this problem, through working jobs as we traveled, the rest fell into place. In this guide, I detail the ins and outs of the Workamping life and show you how anyone at any age can retire to an RV or just live life on the road. I also answer common questions, explain the biggest myths and mistakes while detailing employer programs that hire RVers to work at their businesses. To wrap it all up, I’ll provide you with a vast resource of 1000+ employers you can contact for RV jobs out on the road! Everyone interested in learning about how to start RV living by working along the way needs to read this book! Everyone interested in learning about RVing prior to retirement needs to read this book! And if you're interested in Workamping and need information on the lifestyle and how to get jobs while you travel, then you really need to read this book! Also, if you’ve been RVing for years and just need some ideas of possible work, then you’ll find a lot of useful information in this book, that you can use now rather than later! WHAT'S -What is Workamping? -Common Questions -Understanding the Lifestyle -Winter Workamping -Resumes, Photos & Work Agreements -Single & Solo Workampers -Workamping Families with Kids -Top 7 Myths & Mistakes -Financial Keys to Buy an RV -How to Find the Jobs -Workamper Employers WHAT'S NOT -Health Insurance -Budgeting & Financials -Membership & Camping Clubs -Downsizing -Domicile & Receiving Mail Living a life of full-time travel is an amazing experience . One that everyone has the ability to do if given the right information and the tools to do so. If your goal is to travel while living in an RV, this book can teach you how to make money and enjoy the RV life! 5 years ago, I knew nothing about Workamping. To be honest, I knew nothing about RVing and had never slept in an RV, for that matter. I just knew there had to be a way to travel full-time in an RV and make money while we did it! I was young and not close to retirement, but I wanted to live an adventurous life and RV across America! Before we could go, we needed to figure out how to either work remote, start our own location independent business or find work along the way. We choose the last one, which was the fastest route to traveling full-time! We fell into the life of Workamping and the rest is history!!! Let’s not waste any more time! Dive in and start reading!

Recommended Read
This is a very helpful book if you're looking for work opportunities while living on the road full-time, whether you do that in an RV or not. The author did her research. I would be very surprised if someone used the resources in this book and didn't land a job or score a volunteer position. Highly recommend.
So why 4 stars? I see the same problem with most self-published nonfiction books. The first third is spotless and the middle you can see where the editing kind of slid off to the side. There was a lot of repetition in the midsection that grated my nerves. From saying the same thing about the host position every time it came up to saying things like, "Locations are located in..." If you're skipping to specific chapters for specific reasons, the repetition works in your favour because you don't miss anything. However, if you're like me, and read the book from start to finish on one go, it might get to you.

I'm looking forward to workamping...eventually!
There is So Much useful information in this book! I can't wait to get started workamping...except my RV won't be completely renovated for a few months. In the meantime, I can practice these interviewing skills with other job opportunities!

Good advice
Most of the advice is pretty standard knowledge. I did like how the author gave actual job listings and how to go about applying.
