One of our RV Lifestyle members recently posted on Facebook to find out what other REAL RVers do to make money while on the road. She wrote:
What do you do for remote work when you’re living/traveling in RV. We’re looking into traveling, my husband is retired, and I’d like to find something remote.
We’ve written a few articles on how to find jobs while traveling, but we’ve never made a long list of job possibilities. This Facebook post, along with several others, gives us great insight into the many jobs RVers do from the road.
So, we decided to compile a long list of ways people make money while RVing based on the hundreds of Facebook responses. We figure there's no better way to be inspired than to see just how many options are out there.

A camp host, or work camper (sometimes spelled workamper), is a person who does things around a campsite in exchange for a free camping spot. In some cases, camp hosts are also paid. Camp host jobs may be on a public or private campground, though each workamping opportunity works a little differently.
The duties of a camp host vary depending on the location, as do the camp host site’s amenities. Each RVer must decide whether the job is appropriate for them.
