Today I am interviewing a woman who was just contemplating the RV lifestyle when I first spoke to her four years ago. After working several Workamping jobs and seeing a lot of the country, she is going to provide an update on her adventure. In 2020, Lynn Hupp knew she wanted more fun and adventure in her life, and she thought RV travel may be the answer. However, she knew very little about RVs and the Workamping lifestyle. So, she enrolled in RV Dreamers Journey. It was a program offered by Workamper News at the time, to guide people through various lessons to prepare them for life on the road. Now, all of those educational videos have been incorporated into the Workamper library, which can be accessed for free any time by Diamond and Platinum members. When I spoke to Lynn in April, she was in Florida Workamping at a state park. After the interview, she and a friend drove up to Alaska to begin a summer Workamping job at Wildman’s, which is a convenience store located in Cooper Landing. Because it was a 5,300-mile journey from Florida to Alaska, Lynn opted against towing her travel trailer all that way while consuming gas at a rate of 10 to 12 miles per gallon. Fortunately, the company has cabins which she and her friend can stay in this summer. Since Lynn and I last talked, she took training to learn how to maintain her own RV, and also became a certified RV inspector by taking classes at the National RV Training Academy in Athens, Texas. When we first talked, Lynn had just completed the training and was hoping the RV lifestyle would be everything she imagined it would be. It was. In fact, she’s been on the road by herself for four years. What impresses me is that Lynn started her adventure the right way, by getting all the training she could up front before starting out. That eliminated a lot of stress that comes through trial and error. Lynn tows a 26-foot travel trailer with no slides, which she said is the perfect size for her. She overcame her fear of towing and hooking up an RV by taking classes with the RV Driving School. She took maintenance training to learn how to fix the most common problems RVers encounter. The RV Dreamers Journey courses taught Lynn about the RV lifestyle and how to apply for Workamping jobs that were well-suited to things she liked to do. She has also been able to experience a lot of America that most people simply drive through in a day or two. Lynn has enjoyed the Black Hills of South Dakota, the redwoods of California, the history of Georgia, the beauty of Yellowstone National Park, the warm climate of Florida, and now the spectacular beauty of the Alaskan frontier. She supports all her travel by working short-term Workamping jobs and helping others to make informed buying decisions by serving as an RV inspector. As an independent contractor, she provides consulting services to former corporate customers, and she also collects Social Security benefits. Lynn may not get rich in this lifestyle, but she said she’s enjoying the time of her life while she’s still young enough to actively do all the things she dreamed about for many years. She would still like to get to Maine someday and Lynn hopes to visit all 48 lower states before she turns 70. She strongly encourages people to not allow fear to hold them back from RVing. There have been a lot of rewards that more than make up for any challenges Lynn has faced during the past four years. People can connect with Lynn by email at [email protected] or find her on Facebook and Instagra...

Now that the summer of 2024 is officially here, today I am interviewing a mobile RV service technician from North Georgia who is making a repeat appearance on the Workamper Show. There have been some changes to the service side of the RV industry since his last appearance in 2022. Anthony Montelongo owns Certified RV Solutions, which was founded during the height of the COVID situation in 2020. Not only does he fix RVs, he offers a service of convenience by coming to wherever the RV may be located. Anthony said that while a lot has technically changed, it often feels as though nothing has really changed in the RV industry. Despite improvements in technology, RVs are no longer manufactured to the same level of quality they were before COVID, and RVs made before 2020 were of less quality than those built 10 years earlier. In fact, Anthony said up to a third of his business is involved in fixing problems in RVs that are less than three years old. The good news for RV owners is that there are more mobile service technicians in the market today than ever before. He said lack of pay for technicians at some RV dealerships contributed to many experienced techs venturing out on their own. In popular RVing states of California, Florida and Texas, some areas have so many mobile RV technicians that the market is almost saturated by competition. That may be a good thing for RV owners looking for service quickly, but it also means there is more opportunity for quality technicians to start businesses in other parts of the country. There are some repairs which absolutely must be performed at an RV service center, such as removing a slideout. Some RV service centers have started paying technicians more money, especially if the tech specializes in a particular area of service. One thing that has really changed in the RV industry is increased level of trust consumers have in mobile repair technicians. Anthony completed his training at the National RV Training Academy in Athens, Texas, which opened about seven years ago. At that time, most RV repairs were performed at dealerships and service centers, for which owners had to wait weeks or months for an appointment. Back then, people were skeptical about the quality of work performed by mobile service technicians, but Anthony explained that is no longer the case. He said people have received great service by mobile technicians and the convenience of having repairs performed on-site rather than having to drive an RV to the repair center has really boosted consumer confidence in mobile technicians. Anthony also explained that opportunities exist for Workampers to make good money by doing mobile repairs wherever they travel. Workampers who are trained in RV service work can often fix general problems impacting many RVers, like water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners and refrigerators. People can get in touch with Anthony by visiting certifiedrvsolutions.com or connecting with him on Facebook. Today’s episode is sponsored by Workamper News.

Today I am interviewing a couple who grew tired of having to move frequently to meet the demands of their corporate jobs. So, they bought an RV and now operate a small business while they travel for fun and adventure. Angela Warner is a former nurse and teacher. Her husband, Jeff, worked in a maintenance position at a pharmaceutical plant. Even though they tried to spice up their lives by moving every few years to a new location, they both grew tired of working up to 60 hours a week for their jobs. Yet, even though the scenery was different, the work load was still demanding and left them with little time to pursue things they really enjoyed. One Christmas, Jeff got Angela a gift that enabled her to start making vinyl cutouts, which she started selling on eBay. Soon her business took off as their house filled with more equipment. Eventually, she realized they could run their business from the road and travel to places they’ve always dreamed about visiting. When they started RVing, the Warners were in a 35-foot travel trailer. They have since graduated into a motorhome and transformed the dining area slideout into a long work area for Angela. She has discovered 3,500 different products she can make from the RV, many of which can be customized. They sell T-shirts, home décor, memorials and even RV decals. The Warners are exploring how to wrap cars and RVs as well. In addition to running their business, Jeff and Angela do traditional Workamping jobs, such as working for campgrounds and state parks. It gives them free RV sites, and plenty of time to pursue a business while having fun, too. The campgrounds love having them because the Warners can create unique, personalized products that can be sold in the camp store. At their current Workamping job, Angela created shirts for the state park’s 135 volunteers. Jeff and Angela want to start a YouTube channel to teach couples how to maintain a healthy relationship with each other while living in a rather confined space and working on a business together. They are gearing up for a busy summer participating in a variety of fairs and festivals as well as working for a private campground in California. To see what kind of products Jeff and Angela can create, visit constantcreationsco.etsy.com. You can also connect with her on Facebook and Pinterest. Their new Traveling Three Gypsies YouTube channel will be operational soon. In the meantime, you can always email Angela at [email protected]. Today’s episode is sponsored by Workamper News. If you have more questions than answers when it comes to the Workamping and RVing lifestyle, then don’t worry, Workamper News has your back. Attend a free, monthly Workamping Q&A webinar to get your questions answered.  Each month, the knowledgeable team behind Workamper.com hosts a free, live webinar where they answer questions submitted by folks, just like you, who are learning about the lifestyle, just getting started, or who have been Workamping for a while. They cover topics like, what kind of Workamping jobs are available, what do those jobs pay, tips for writing a Workamper resume, questions to ask an employer, what type of RV is best, how to get your mail as an RVer, and much more. In the description of each video, you’ll find the list of questions that were answered so you can quickly jump to the sections you want to hear.

Today I am interviewing a woman from New Jersey who has a funky way of using laughter to reduce stress, and she teaches others her secrets in order to bring more joy into their lives. Nicole Pontedandolfo and her husband, John, travel in a 2004 Tiffin Allegro motorhome without slideouts. But, they still have enough space to accommodate their needs as well as a dog and a cat. To spruce things up and to stay with the funky theme, Nicole uses colorful skirts to cover the windows, which she calls “skirtins” instead of curtains. A few years ago, the couple got bitten by a travel bug. Although they didn’t know where they wanted to go, they knew there was much more to do and see in other parts of America. So, they decided to sell everything, buy an RV and hit the road in search of adventure. Nicole and John have been Workamping the entire time, most often by working at KOA Kampgrounds. They have also worked for a company called ID Plans, where they created detailed site plans for remote property managers. However, their most recent job was volunteering at Safe Harbor Farm, an animal rescue and dog training facility in North Carolina. The farm also maintains bee hives and serves as an animal sanctuary. To keep her limber and in good spirits, Nicole loves to do yoga and will often pop into a yoga studio in areas they are visiting. Not only does she do yoga, she is a certified laughter yoga instructor. She’s absolutely right that simply laughing can change your entire perspective on any situation. Laughter strengthens the immune system as well as makes people more approachable and better able to go with the flow. Most of Nicole’s classes take place online via Zoom; however, she will also conduct live classes at places she’s staying, if possible. She trains people to look for laughter in any situation. And, if there is nothing particularly humorous or joyful about the situation, Nicole will force herself to laugh on purpose. Our brains can’t distinguish between real and simulated laughter, so when it hears laughter it releases a calming chemical. Because laughter is contagious, other people can’t help but feel good in the presence of laughter. Nicole and John are wrapping up their time at Safe Harbor Farm, where they have loved maintaining hiking trails and building shelters for animals staying at the rescue facility. After a brief stop in New Jersey to visit friends and relatives, they’re planning to visit several farms to conduct laughter yoga classes. There are plenty of places left for Nicole and John to visit before they find the ideal place to settle down again. In the meantime, they are taking their adventure one day at a time, and laughing along the way. To connect with Nicole, visit www.funkybuddhayoga.love or email her at [email protected]. She also has a Facebook and Instagram page as well as a YouTube channel. Just look for Funky Budda Yoga. Today’s episode is sponsored by Workamper News.

Today I am speaking with a couple from Florida who travels the country raising money in support of various veterans projects. Dustin and Leslie Waggoner were high school sweethearts in the mid-1990s. They both worked for the U.S. Army. Dustin was in hospital administration and Leslie helped people transition into civilian careers. When Dustin retired, he went to work for a corporate hospital, but discovered it was a much different environment that didn’t really suit him. But, their daughter had two years of high school remaining, so Dustin and Leslie began the process of downsizing so they could pursue new options as full-time RVers. Although they moved 13 times during the 20 years they were with the Army, the Waggoners wanted to go back and spend more time in their favorite parts of the country. Because they both have military experience, and Dustin was wounded in combat in 2005, he and Leslie have a real passion for serving veterans. In fact, they have given away more than $50,000 during the five years they have been on the road. They like to find smaller organizations that are staffed primarily by volunteers and donate funds to those groups because they know the money goes a long way. Since starting their RVing adventure, the couple also launched a YouTube channel to talk about places they visit and things they do. However, they close every video by paying tribute to a service member who was killed in the line of duty. Not only do they pay tribute to the service member, but they often schedule the video’s release to coincide with the anniversary of the day that person made the ultimate sacrifice. The Waggoners don’t often have a plan for the videos they produce. They simply turn on the camera and talk in an attempt to bring viewers along with them, whether they are visiting an interesting place, using specific equipment or just enjoying time together hiking or kayaking. Leslie said, in their case, some of the videos are not really how-to videos, but rather how-not-to in that they talk about their shortcomings and mistakes they’ve made in hopes of educating others to avoid making the same errors. To help make sure they don’t make mistakes when setting up and breaking down an RV site, they created a checklist and had it laminated so they can easily mark things off when the tasks are completed. While many people travel with dogs and cats, the Waggoners travel with a two-foot long bearded dragon lizard, named Scout, which required special modifications to their RV. Dustin and Leslie also competed in Season 2 of RV Unplugged, which premiers May 29th at 7 p.m. Eastern. The couple plans to attend the finale episode Aug. 5 to 8 at Camp Margaritaville in Auburn, Fla. People can connect with Dustin and Leslie through their Wayward Waggs YouTube channel as well as through Facebook and Instagram. Today’s episode is sponsored by Workamper News.

Today I will be interviewing two rangers who work for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project near Branson, Mo. It is located in a very beautiful waterway that offers lots of natural recreation opportunities. Matt Robbins and Angela Stone are rangers who work for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The agency is tasked with overseeing waterways created by dams and other big projects. Matt and Angela work at Table Rock Lake, which is situated along the White River just outside the Branson, Mo., city limits. The corps has established campgrounds, visitors centers, bike trails, picnic areas and other fun things to do that promotes being outdoors. The agency hires Workampers to work in the visitor’s center, which they have done for several years. But, this year, Workampers will also be hired to serve as camp hosts. Camp hosts interact with visitors while relaying important water safety information. They also staff a check-in booth, provide some janitorial services and basically serve as the eyes and ears of the ranger staff to report problems. In the visitors center itself, Workamper volunteers staff the front desk to answer questions visitors may have and to orient them to features and services available at the project. They also work with school groups visiting the park on field trips. Some lucky volunteers can wear a costume to entertain kids as Bobber, the water safety dog, while others can help maintain garden beds. The rangers are super-appreciative of Workampers for all the work they do to assist visitors, which reduces the workload for the ranger staff. However, Workampers are not involved in any enforcement activities. They simply alert rangers to problems at the project. Volunteers work about 24 hours a week in exchange for a full-hookup RV site. The project employs couples, singles and families who work anywhere from four to eight hours a day. Camp hosts typically work four days on and have four days off. Angela is more flexible in scheduling people to work in the visitors center. The project asks for a commitment of at least three months in spring, summer and fall. The visitors center is closed during winter. People who want to stay longer are allowed to do so. Table Rock Lake is home to one of the largest visitors centers in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Because it has a rather large classroom and bigger outdoor spaces, the project is a favorite place for teachers to bring students. In fact, the Dewey Short Visitor Center hosted 110,000 people in 2023. Workampers might lead tours, conduct programs or demonstrate how to put on a life preserver. They may also guide students in engaging in conservation or clean-up activities. The project typically seeks 12 to 13 Workampers every 90 days. There are openings yet this summer as camp hosts and in the visitor center. More information about the Table Rock Lake project is available at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website. Information about Workamper jobs can be found at www.volunteer.gov and searching for Table Rock Lake. Today’s episode is sponsored by Workamper News.

This week I will be speaking with a man who has lived a rather nomadic lifestyle since childhood. Today, he chases construction jobs around the country which supports his need for adventure and provides income to support his travels. Steven Speers earned his living as an electrician for many years until he transitioned into being an author and speaker. His first book is about a proto-Germanic alphabet used by indigenous northern Europeans. He instructs people how to use those images as a divination tool. He refurbished a school bus and has been living in it full-time since 2022 with his cat, Loki. Steven will still do construction projects, from time to time, but tries to avoid them because they tend to keep him confined in one area longer than he’d like to stay. So, he looks for short-term opportunities, such as wiring a house under construction or being remodeled. He tries to spend the winter months getting as far south as he can. Last November, he spent time in the Florida panhandle. He has friends and family scattered all over America, so Steven and Loki like to visit them frequently as he participates in fairs and expos to do runic divination demonstrations and book signings. To keep things fresh, Steven picks three or four different states each year, then looks for fairs or festivals in them. He sets up a schedule to visit as many venues as he can. When funds run low, and he can’t find a construction project to work on, Steven connects with day labor companies to find short-term jobs. That prevents him from having to dip into his savings for monthly expenses. He likes to set aside a month’s worth of expenses so he’s never in a truly desperate situation and he always has the option of moving on to find something else to explore. The primary reason why Steven renovated his “skoolie” was to enjoy more freedom. He and Loki have been to 15 states so far, and plan to add several others this year. Steven relies on the recreation.gov website to find inexpensive places to stay when he’s traveling. He encourages people to get out and travel rather than confine themselves to the same apartment year after year. During his free time, Steven enjoys walking along forest trails looking for waterfalls or exploring caves. He even made a floating device for his cat to join him when Steven is out exploring. To connect with him, visit www.stevenspeers.com or look for his author page on Facebook. Today’s episode is sponsored by Workamper News.

Today I am interviewing a couple from California who retired from the U.S. Navy and hit the road in search of adventure. Along the way, they found unique ways to serve people in the communities they visit. Kevin and Tabitha Maser have been RVing for almost three years, and they have been Workamping the entire time. The couple loves to serve as camp hosts. They have worked for county parks, large resorts and they really enjoy working for private, family-run RV parks. However, they have also held other jobs, such as working for the beet harvest in Michigan. They tend to pick a location they’d like to visit, then look for suitable jobs in that area. Many times, those jobs come with pay and a free RV site. Yet, the Masers also create opportunities to serve others wherever they go. They work with a group established by Lippert Components called seRV With Purpose. It creates meaningful opportunities to connect RVers with local non-profit organizations to engage in purpose-driven volunteerism. During their first event, Kevin and Tabitha joined other volunteers to help create a nature trail at the RV park where they were staying. They enjoyed the experience so much, the Masers became seRV With Purpose ambassadors and orchestrated two events last month in the Carolinas. At those events, the Masers worked to pack up food for a local food pantry in Wilmington, N.C. Then, in Myrtle Beach, S.C., the couple helped to run the ShamROCK ‘N Run half-marathon. They will soon be headed back to Traverse City, Mich., to finish work on a nature trail project they started in 2023. Kevin and Tabitha also plan to make cards for kids suffering from long-term illnesses as well as working with a group which provides equine therapy to veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Being in the U.S. Navy for many years, the Masers traveled around the world and lived in Hawaii, but discovered some truly spectacular places to visit in the United States, especially in Michigan, where they were never more than six miles away from water. Kevin and Tabitha took time off from their schedules to compete in Season 2 of RV Unplugged, which premiers May 29th at 7 p.m. Eastern. They will be hosting weekly watch parties at the Holiday RV Park in Traverse City, but also plan to attend the finale Aug. 5 to 8 at Camp Margaritaville in Auburn, Fla. To prepare for boondocking for an extended period of time, the Masers installed two Ecoflow Delta Pro battery packs and a smart generator to create 7,000 watts of power. They live in a 38-foot Alliance fifth wheel because of all the living space it offers. Although they have faced challenges on the road, they learned to fix many common problems with their rig by attending an RV Fundamentals class offered by the National RV Training Academy in Texas. People can connect with Kevin and Tabitha on Instagram and Facebook by searching for “he she and a husky.” Today’s episode is sponsored by Workamper News.

This week I will be interviewing a woman who is brand new to Workamping. She and her partner were wrapping up their first assignment working at a dog boarding facility in Florida. Harley Wilson and her partner, Ashton Byars, bought their RV in March of 2023 and went on some shorter excursions before jumping into the Workamping lifestyle in January of this year. They worked for Dog Academy LLC in Lynn Haven, Fla. At the dog boarding facility, Ashton did construction, while Harley was actively involved in caring for the dogs who were spending time at the facility. She got to clean up, but also worked to reunite the dogs with their owners when they were picked up. She said it was a lot of fun because the dogs have such different personalities. Harley had fun just letting dogs be dogs by socializing with others whenever possible. It was an ideal job for Harley because she and Ashton own two dogs, so she already knew what to expect. Harley had dreamed of RVing for years. When she met Ashton, she told him her dream was to travel, so they started saving their money. In December, Harley reached a point in her corporate job where she desired more freedom and flexibility, so they quit their jobs in their early 30s to go RVing when the option presented itself. She has a degree in mass communications and Ashton has experience as an audio-video technician. So, the couple plans to develop a TikTok channel and share videos of their adventures on the road as well as the Workamping jobs they enjoy along the way. One of the big perks Harley and Ashton enjoyed by working at Dog Academy was the ability to get off work and go down to the beach to shuck oysters and meet new people. She also joined a local Zumba class. The couple has done a lot of traveling outside the United States. Harley said they saw Workamping as a way to see more of America. Ideally, the couple would like to spend time Workamping in Alaska. When their job ends at Dog Academy, Harley and Ashton are headed to Austin, Texas, where they will spend the summer Workamping at a KOA near Austin. To follow their adventures, people can connect with Harley on Facebook or email her at [email protected]. Today’s episode is brought to you by the featured employers at Workamper.com.  These Workamper employers have taken an extra step to share some photos and detailed information about their Workamper programs.

Today I am interviewing a couple from Tennessee who have been enjoying the RV lifestyle for almost two years. They had owned an 80-acre, 10-building compound and took up RVing to get away from the pressures of maintaining such a large property. Jack and Shelby Tessar have five children, the youngest of which is 19. They traveled frequently as a family, but never in an RV. When Shelby was a young girl, she played softball and traveled with friends whose parents owned RVs. As a result, she grew up dreaming about having her own RV someday. Then, around Mother’s Day in 2022, she and Jack bought a fifth wheel and took their first trip by visiting a state park in Tennessee. That’s where they fell in love with the RV lifestyle and decided to sell all but seven acres of their property to hit the road full-time. Jack had been a certified financial planner for 20 years down in Florida. Shelby owned two businesses herself in Florida and Tennessee. As their parents got older and needed more care, the Tessars moved to Tennessee and started to build a family compound. After falling in love with RVing, the couple sold most of the land, but created RV hookups on the remaining acreage, which Jack and Shelby use upon occasion along with their children, who also own RVs. They use money from selling the property to finance their travel plans, but the Tessars are about to start a YouTube channel. Shelby operates a cleaning company serving AirBnB properties, high-end corporate clients and conducting estate cleanouts. Their entire family has been involved in charities over the years. First they started raising money to support a school for blind students their son attended in Florida. Now they want to travel to small towns across America and help everyday type of people with their special needs. This year, Jack and Shelby were participants on RV Unplugged, a reality competition premiering May 29 where 10 couples and one individual compete for a $25,000 cash prize. Their YouTube channel is called The Bimble Effect, and the couple already recorded their first episode. To bimble means to walk at a leisurely pace and explore with no particular destination in mind, which is what the Tessars do in their travels. People can connect with Jack and Shelby on Facebook or on YouTube. Be sure to root for them on Season Two of RV Unplugged. More details are available at www.rvunpluggedtv.com/season-two-rv-unplugged.
