Update on solo women Workampers


Betty Prange completed her training in June and is now an official "jammer." She is driving a red bus at Glacier National Park in Montana. The company spent two weeks training the new drivers. They learned to drive the bus, which runs on both propane and gas, and all the things they would have to know to obtain their CDL. In addition, after hours, they had to learn about the area so they could provide a narrative for their tours.

When Betty contacted me last she had succesfully gotten her CDL and taken two tours on the "Going-to-the-Sun" Road. The photo is of Betty in her red bus. She mentioned that she has never particularly cared to wash a vehicle. Now she has to wash her bus every day! (See the original post, "Betty will be jammin'")

Susan Chittam is working at Ruby's Inn just outside Bryce Canyon National Park. She meets many people interested in how she got her job and how you make money working on the RV road.

What has been most fun for Susan, so far, is attending all the plays in Cedar City, located about an hour away. It has several festivals, including a Shakespearean festival, a Renaissance Faire, and coming up, a Neil Simon festival. (See the original post on working in "Gateway Cities" about Susan's job.)

For information finding these types of jobs, whether working solo or as a couple, see Jaimie Hall's recently revised book, Support Your RV LIfestyle! An Insider's Guide to Working on the Road, 2nd ed., available at RVBookstore.com.
