RV workers see slice of America
I came across an article titled "RV park owners see slice of America" about the owners of the St. Paul East RV Park in Woodbury, MN. The article mentioned their most unusual guests - members of the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus - and the fact they expected to house some delegates to the Republican National Convention - as well as the more typical RV park guest.
RV workers too see a slice of America if they are working in an RV park or resort or even a tourist attraction. They may not see the circus or delegates to a convention, but they do see a variety. RVers come in all ages. They include families, tourists from the U.S. and foreign countries in rented RVs. Some have pets, some travel with all sorts of toys. Some travel in new million dollar buses, others in pop-up trailers, tiny teardrops or ancient RVs that have seen better days. Those who do work near an event like Sturgis will get to see some real characters.
RV workers see both the best behavior and the worst. In the Workamper forums, workers on the RV road mention the RVers who don't clean up after their pets or let an aggressive dog run loose. They report on campers who leave unwelcome presents in the restrooms or who are nasty to camp personnel. That's the side we'd just as soon not see.
On the other hand, overall, RVers are a friendly lot. RV workers hear about many adventurers and different ways of living. If there is a problem or disaster, most RVers will pitch in to help, even going way out of their way to do so if illness or accident strikes a fellow RVer. Most are happy to share their knowledge, be it about places to go, a fix for a nonworking part or give a tour of their RV.
Yes, Workampers also see a slice of America - and of the world- as they work on the RV road. And, unlike the RV park owner, each season they can change to a new place and get a slightly different perspective, see a little different slice of life. Jaimie Hall Bruzenak
