Road Work: The Ultimate RVing Adventure, is a resource for successfully job-hunting paid and volunteer positions on the road. Different chapters show how to write a Workamper's resume, how to build career skills into a road-work niche, and how to take on a new character in a theme park. The second printing, revised and updated in 2002, features stories of Workampers who have successfully worked and volunteered on the road.
Those, whose work and play are one, are fortune's favorite children.

Excerpt
Rvers are a diverse breed with a common dusting of wanderlust. They come from as far away as Canada and Holland and from as near as the driveway two doors down. Some have retired, sold their homes, and scaled down their worldly treausres to travel full-time. Others launch excursions from coast to coast, returning periodically to the roots of familiar surroundings. Yet another group has dropped out of the traditional work force to proudly state they're from "nowhere!"
In record numbers RVers are harnessing their adventuresome spirits to work on the road. Their reasons for taking jobs are as varied as their backgrounds. Most are retired, but a number of singles and couples are taking early retirement or just opting for more freedom with a new lifestyle.
Some RVers work to support their wanderlust. Others retire with grand plans for leisure, but become bored when they have no reason to get up in the morning. So they look for productive roles. Some volunteer a few hours a week. Others work long hours for salaries, while another group clocks in 15 hours a week for their sites and hookups.
"Where do I start and how do I begin?" you may ask. Road Work: The Ultimate RVing Adventure gives faces and personalities to real-life Workampers and the employers who hire them. Their quotes and experiences are related as a road map for others who long to mix the freedom and fun of travel with earning a few dollars or amenities.
