Great article. Anyone who may have wondered, this well written information will allow interested people to make their first decision.

Is this really what we want to do...or should we inquire further ?

My hat is off to those people living in a VW camper. At 6'2" I would end up wearing a football helmet. (I never learn).

The article rusty supplied is great information, but the other side of the coin is what is the job discription for the workcamper? I worked as a camp host in Monterey, California at the state fairgrounds RV park, the job discription was 30 hours per week for free slip and utilities. the reality was 80 plus hours and getting hit by golf balls from the dod golf course next door. then to add insult to injury (hit twice rv hit three times) I was asked to leave for 11 days while the state fair was in town. the lesson ask questions, and you'll learn to ask more questions later too. I traveled 600 miles for an on site enterview only to find upon arriving, they chose someone already. it seems some businesses don't appreciate anything they get for nothing. ie free labor
