Do they want to or do they have to?
Let’s see. They live part of the year in a $150,000 patio home in Voyager RV Park in Tucson. They travel most of the year in their $300,000+ Winnebago Vectra motorhome.
Some summers they work for Holland America Cruise Lines in Fairbanks, AK. Others they spend working at the Old Faithful Gift Shop in Yellowstone. And sometimes they workamp at an upscale RV park on the Washington coast. In the fall they’re in Fernley, NV working for Amazon. And of course often they just travel in their coach seeing the country.
They do this because they like to keep busy and occupied.
For our part, my wife and I workamped for 5 months in Fairbanks, AK, and for the last 6 years we’ve done oil field gate guarding in South and East Texas. And the rest of the year we also travel in our motorhome.
Last year we spent 5 months making a big loop out west hitting Las Cruces, Tucson, Apache Junction, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Bend, OR, Coeur d’Alene, ID, Rapid City, SD, North Platte, NE, Oklahoma City, and then back to Houston.
We’re in our early 70’s and have been doing this for 11 years now.
We work on the road because we like it.
