I started a workkamping assignment here at Millwood Landing RV and Golf Resort where we've been staying in Ashdown, Arkansas. We really like the park and they've been charging us $600 a month (includes full hook ups,) Since Johnny's going to be working here in the area for a while and I prefer to be her...

Will the rising gas prices change your plans? We remember when gas was about $4.50 a gal and we drove from NE to TX and it took about $1700 to see our girls. We are to go from FL to MI in a few months and wondering how many will make the trek from east to west or north to south. Will you stay or will you go?

Hoping to be able to be part of the class of 2013, but my husband and I are not old enough to retire (he's 40 and I'm 38) We know that we'll need to do some kind of work while on the road and with me being an LPN I'm wondering if anyone out there knows of any travel nursing companies that use LPN's. Every one o...

Like many of you, I'm "exploring options" and thinking about ways to keep busy while on the road (Launch date sometime in 2012). It would be "nice" to bring in a few bucks at the same time. What services do you find yourself needing - and, preferably willing to pay for - on the road...

We're investigating workkamping as a way to stretch our FTing dollars. When I look at job postings many seem to be for an entire season. We're thinking that in most cases we want to spend a month or 2 at a particular location. Is it possible to find shorter assignments?
