The Workamper Show Podcast

Today I am interviewing a couple from California who retired from the U.S. Navy and hit the road in search of adventure. Along the way, they found unique ways to serve people in the communities they visit.

Kevin and Tabitha Maser have been RVing for almost three years, and they have been Workamping the entire time.

The couple loves to serve as camp hosts. They have worked for county parks, large resorts and they really enjoy working for private, family-run RV parks. However, they have also held other jobs, such as working for the...

This week I will be interviewing a woman who is brand new to Workamping. She and her partner were wrapping up their first assignment working at a dog boarding facility in Florida.

Harley Wilson and her partner, Ashton Byars, bought their RV in March of 2023 and went on some shorter excursions before jumping into the Workamping lifestyle in January of this year.

They worked for Dog Academy LLC in Lynn Haven, Fla. At the dog boarding facility, Ashton did construction, while Harley was actively involved in caring for the dogs who were spending time at...

Today I am interviewing a couple from Tennessee who have been enjoying the RV lifestyle for almost two years. They had owned an 80-acre, 10-building compound and took up RVing to get away from the pressures of maintaining such a large property.

Jack and Shelby Tessar have five children, the youngest of which is 19. They traveled frequently as a family, but never in an RV.

When Shelby was a young girl, she played softball and traveled with friends whose parents owned RVs. As a result, she grew up dreaming about having her own RV someday...

Today I am interviewing the vice president of one of the most popular museums in Elkhart, Indiana. It’s a place RVers should visit whenever they pass through the area.

Ryan Szklarek is the executive vice president of the RV/MH Hall of Fame, which chronicles the history of the recreation vehicle and manufactured housing industries, both of which have roots deep in the Elkhart area.

There are a number of top-quality displays at the museum, a library of industry archives, and the Hall of Fame itself, which memorializes the 485 – and counting – men and women who bu...

Today I am interviewing a couple who has been RVing and Workamping for three years. They’ve held a variety of interesting and profitable jobs while on their journey to discover the ideal place to live.

Ted and Ursula Raymond are originally from southern Oregon. They started RVing three years ago after a fire destroyed 2,200 homes in their community. Since then, they have been on what Ursula calls the world’s longest house-hunting trip.

The couple has held some really interesting jobs, in addition to traditional Workamping positions, such as being camp hosts. They have insp...

Today I am interviewing two women who are very involved in the Girl Camper movement to help women to get together to learn about RVing and enjoy the RV experience. Both women are contestants in Season Two of RV Unplugged.

Lesa McDermott is the vice president of operations for Girl Camper, and Mary Brynes works as the Nebraska guide to coordinate activities in her state. Both women are avid RVers with decades of experience.

Girl Camper was founded in 2015 by Janine Petitt, who wanted to encourage other women to go RVing either as solo campers...

Today I am interviewing a couple of Adventure Bandits who have been RVing for several years and actually enjoyed an opportunity to compete in the upcoming season of RV Unplugged.

Talmange and Ashanti Grace have been RVing together for more than nine years after realizing camping in a tent isn’t much fun, especially in the rain. In fact, Ashanti has been RVing since she was a child living in Alaska before she moved to Ohio where she met Talmange.

For the past two years, the couple has been RVing in a 32-foot travel trailer. Th...

Today I am interviewing someone from a company which owns or manages multiple campgrounds in several states. Not only will he be talking about opportunities available for Workampers at his company, but he will also describe how Workampers can better ensure their applications get noticed.

Robert Earl is the director of operations for Beyonder, a company that owns or manages seven campgrounds in Alabama, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri and Oklahoma. More facilities are being added to the Beyonder network all the time.

A former Workamper himself, Robert starts the interview by explaining why it is...

Today I am interviewing a couple from Florida who, although not full-time RVers, have been doing enough frequent, shorter trips that they have amassed quite a following on their YouTube channels.

Joe and Rachel Stauffer are an amazing couple who, together, lost 290 pounds by following a keto-based diet. The transformation attracted so much attention from their friends and family that they started a YouTube channel to teach others what they did.

There was a lot of demand for that kind of information because the couple has 66,400 subscribers on that channel alone who can watch 1,800 different...

I’d need about 25 minutes of your time and I’ll even provide you questions to ponder in advance. Being a podcast guest is nothing more than having a conversation among friends about a fun experience you’ve enjoyed on your adventu...
