NAFR25 - Full timers, workcampers, working from rv

[Laura&Jerry]

a. If you are a full time RVer or even thinking about the lifestyle.
b. A work camper, past present or thinking about it in the future.
c. Have a career or job where you work out of your RV or thinking about it.

We are planning to conduct this within a single seminar since many times they go "hand in hand."

Looking at conducting class instruction, roundtable discussion and lots of questions and answers.

In the past I developed a detailed outline for the full timer's section and am working on the development of work camping and working from your RV. If you want to participate in this or have some great suggestions from personal experience I would love to hear from you.

Please use title or heading of 2025 Montana Rally or something to that effect so I don't delete it.

Thank you,

I will not be at the rally, but this topic is a good one to include. Just my suggestion here .... don't forget the benefits of "camp hosting". In state parks / National Forests / CoE campgrounds, it's usually a free campsite in exchange for XX number of volunteer hours to the park. In private run campgrounds, it can be an exchange for a free campsite, a token financial remuneration along with a free campsite, and in some situations even a full paying job with a campsite. All are well worth mentioning.

The down side is, there is no standardized way for submitting application. Every state, every private campground, and orginization has their own application process and it takes time to get on the list, and many times, you never get selected. It takes time to do this, but once you get for foot in the door, things open up and often, if you are scheduled, you will often be asked to return again next year.

It's an alternative worth mentioning. If someone does it right, they could camp host all year round at different campgrounds all across the country.

Thank you for your input and I will be adding it to my outline for discussion.

Take care,
