Several campgrounds/RV resorts are paying money to get people will to work more than part-time. Over at Workamper News they list jobs. I seen one park recently looking to pay a couple to help $2765 a month.35- 40 a week. That's rare but some do pay hourly rates plus hookups.
Selling services to other full timers (help) Hey folks, I'd really like to buy a travel trailer and start full timing as soon as I can afford the truck and trailer. I'm also thinking about ways to have a (somewhat) steady income on the road.
So I was thinking about offering services to other campers at RV camps and boondocking sites. Now I don't know much about these sites so I was hoping that some of you could help guide me in this area.
Are there services offered out of RV's/trailers at campsites?
Do campsites have rules against selling items on site?
And most importantly, what is a service that Y'all would appreciate having and paying for at campsites or boondocking sites?
Services that I was thinking about:
-selling Grilled food
-selling Fresh pizza
-selling Snacks/drinks
Other ideas?
And mainly, I'm a photographer, would people pay or be interested in (family) photo sessions at campsites?
Any help would greatly be appreciated, Thanks folks!

You need to check out https://www.workamper.com We have some friends who have full timed for the past 11 years this way. They get a magazine from this site - they look at which places look interesting to go to and they grab a job there for days, weeks, months. They are about to leave our area - they were here for about 6 weeks staying for free at an RV Jellystone Resort. She would work the front desk and wear the BooBoo Bear costume for flag raising and he would drive around in a golf cart and grab trash cans, etc... they said they always make sure to get a free spot + get some money... they don't like working for free.
I would like to find a good Workamper resume builder and samples. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks
