WORKAMPING

Workamping, an odd word. It's actually the combination of two words working and camping. Something a lot of full time RV'ers known about already. What some seem to forget is the work part. The way workamping works is you agree to help out at a campground by working in their store, doing maintenance, or any number of other NOT very strenuous or stressful jobs.

In exchange you get a combination of benefits. Like, full hook ups, free or discounted propane and laundry, sometimes even a small salary. Some places will only give you a free site but the amount of hours you work will be greatly reduced, giving you plenty of time to explore the area or just relax.

At our current workamping gig nobody expects you to work hard. Even the general manager has said several times you need to slow down. When it takes over two months to complete 1 project that should have taken maybe two weeks at most, and no we're still not done. I have to say Can we pick up the pace a little.

Now granted this is our first workamping job ever, we just started on March 1^st. Still too much of the real world job ethic left in me I guess. But come on we're not snails we can move a little faster. Don't get me wrong I'm all for taking it easy, that's one of the reasons we joined this fulltime RV lifestyle. But come on, let's get something done.

I know I'm going to meet a lot of different kinds of people out here. Some you will get along with others not so much. Everybody here is an adult, so why not act like one. You signed up for the job, you agreed to the pay and benefits. Now its time to do your share.

I know some people are going to give me a hard time and say things like, why don't you just do your job and stop whining or maybe everybody is doing what they can. That's fine. Say your piece, I have. It won't bother me one bit. I just think some folks that sign up for this don't understand the work part of it. Maybe they will learn maybe not.

Just saying

Safe Travels And I Hope To See You Down The Road
