When we live in a regular residence, supplied with utilities, we don’t even think about planning to heat our space in order to stay comfortable. We just adjust the thermostat and an electric or gas furnace provides heat on-demand. Heating a home that is ‘off the grid’ gives you several options that you will want to consider. Even if you have 30 or 50 amp electrical service at an RV site, you probably will not be able to accomplish all your heating needs with electric space heaters. Most RV’s are equipped with LP gas furnaces which will require maintaining a supply of LP gas byRead More →

Are you wishing you could live the mobile lifestyle? We’ve done it!  Lot’s of people are doing it!  YOU can, too! Getting Started “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” -Theodore Roosevelt We’ve known people that researched and dreamed of a mobile lifestyle for years.  Some waited until retirement to make the move.  Some quickly made the decision and sold everything and hit the road without a plan.  And, you know, it seems to have worked out for all of them…except those that didn’t get started. The ‘Workers On Wheels’ website and newsletter will be a great resource and inspiration to you as look intoRead More →

Living with a pet or pets in a small space. If you already have a pet, you know that they will require enough space and care.  If you are getting a pet, you will soon find out.  Are they worth the trouble?  Considering all the companionship a furry pet provides, you bet! Dogs vs. Cats Of course, the larger the pet (I’m thinking ‘dog’ here), the larger space required for sleeping, feeding, bathing, etc.  We also weighed the pros and cons of dogs versus cats:  dogs need regular walking;  cats need a well-maintained litter box;  dogs need to be trained;  cats take care of themselves.Read More →

If you’re like me, you don’t know much about Monticello. If you’re like a lot my RV’ing friends who have now visited Monticello, you are now a fan of the incredible history lessons to be learned there.  Visitors of Monticello just can’t stop talking about how unexpectedly great their visit was.  They plan to return and they recommend it to everyone.  Their gift shop and online store feature items for your home and garden including hard-to-find heirloom seeds. Graceland was like this for me.  I liked Elvis and his music, but I was not a superfan and I did not need to visit Graceland.  Then,Read More →

Yes, we are crazy! But, you see, we were new to workamping and it sounded like such a great deal:  good pay, lots of hours, RV site, and utilities included. If you are accustomed to rather vigorous manual labor in ten-hour stretches and no time for a life outside of work, you would have no problem working at an Amazon Fulfillment Center (AFC).  The work environment itself requires no cellphones, no watches, and virtually no jewelry.  You can pack a lunch and snacks or avail yourself of vending machine offerings.  There are no chairs or stools as all jobs require standing and some require aRead More →
