Special Delivery: How to Get Mail When You Live in an RV

by Greg Gerber

Email really helped make the RV lifestyle easier for Workampers, no question about that. It is convenient to get statements and other notices delivered electronically.

Yet, even in 2023, there are still enough things sent via snail mail that you’ll want them delivered to you wherever you may be traveling. Greeting cards are among those items and so are magazines. End-of-year tax documents are important, too. Business owners who get paid by check or who have items shipped to them also need a way to have mail delivered.

What or Who is a Workamper?

Putting a Price Tag on Perks

There are two ways to have more money: earn more or spend less. In Workamping terms, earning more comes down to salary, and spending less is the perks that accompany the opportunity. If you don’t spend as much on living expenses, it’s more money in your pocket. But when comparing job opportunities, placing a monetary value on job incentives is tricky.

What is Workamping?

Nearly all RVers have at least heard the word, and most know what it means...or think they know. However, there are a few misconceptions about who Workampers are and what Workamping is.

The most common misconceptions are that Workampers are retirees who work in campgrounds, and that Workamping just means trading work for a place to park an RV.
