This week, I am speaking with a couple who made the leap into full-time RV living after raising their family and deciding it was time for a new chapter.

Alan Sneed spent 30 years in the Department of Defense and the military, while his wife, Kim, built a career in school district communications and now works remotely in the architectural field.

In this conversation, Alan and Kim share how they transitioned into Workamping about a year after going full-time on the road and why the lifestyle appealed to them.

Alan explains how Workamping keeps him active while giving them the freedom to travel, and Kim offers insight into balancing a remote career with life in an RV.

They also talk about choosing locations, what types of jobs they look for and how they prioritize flexibility over long work hours.

You will hear about their favorite destinations, including time spent in Colorado, how they manage connectivity with tools like Starlink and cellular service and what they look for when evaluating potential Workamping opportunities.

They also discuss the importance of communication with employers, setting expectations and finding the right fit for their lifestyle.

If you have ever considered Workamping or full-time RV living, Alan and Kim provide a practical and honest look at what it takes to make it work and how to enjoy the journey along the way.

Rather than rushing from place to place, they focus on moving slowly, staying long enough to explore each area and choosing jobs that allow them to maintain flexibility.

For them, Workamping is less about working full-time and more about creating a balanced life that includes travel, meaningful experiences and time together.

Alan emphasized the importance of treating the job interview process as a two-way conversation, making sure expectations are clear on both sides.

From asking about equipment and job duties to understanding the work schedule, those early conversations can make or break the experience.

Kim added that communication is just as important when traveling as a couple, especially when one partner is working remotely.

They also highlighted the value of being selective when choosing positions by looking for opportunities that offer a full hookup site and reasonable hours, while avoiding roles that demand too much time.

If you would like to follow Alan and Kim’s journey, you can find them online through their brand 99 Adventures RV. They share their experiences about Workamping, full-time RV living and travel tips on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

That’s all for this week’s show. Next time I will be speaking with a woman who had been full-time RVing with her family for several years. Today she helps RVers develop businesses of their own by becoming Fireside RV Rental franchisees. I will have that interview on the next episode of The Workamper Show. Thank you for listening!

Today I am speaking with a wine expert from Nova Scotia who has some great insight on places to visit and how wine can make your journey even more enjoyable.

Amy Savoury is a certified sommelier who shares how this coastal Canadian province has quietly become one of the most unique wine regions in North America.

She explains the fascinating history of wine in Nova Scotia, dating back to the early 1600s, and how today’s growers have adapted to a cool climate to produce wines you won’t find anywhere else.

She also talks about what makes the region so appealing for Workampers and RVers, from its easy-to-navigate layout to the opportunity to visit multiple small, family-owned wineries in a single day.

If you are a wine aficionado and have ever wondered how geography, climate and even ocean tides can influence what ends up in your glass, you will enjoy this conversation.

And, if you are visiting or Workamping in New England, this episode will entice you to travel north to Nova Scotia for an incredible experience.

From the influence of coastal climates to the creativity of small, independent wineries, this is a place where travelers can slow down and truly connect with the land and the people.

Amy also reminded us that wine is a journey, and the best way to learn is to stay curious by trying new types, and talking to the people who grow and produce it.

For RVers, Nova Scotia offers an easy-to-explore region with plenty of campgrounds, scenic drives, and opportunities to visit multiple wineries without traveling far.

That’s all for this week’s show. Next time, I will be speaking with a Workamping couple who have been full-time RVing for several years. They have great stories to share and I’ll have that interview on the next episode of The Workamper Show. Thank you for listening.

Today, I am speaking with a Workamper who makes a living through traditional Workamping jobs as well as by installing RV roof protection products. She also offers a warning about the difference between W-2 income and 1099 independent contractors.

Jessica Peacock is a full-time RVer who has spent the past three years traveling across 21 states while combining Workamping with independent contract work in the RV industry.

Jessica shares how she and her fiancé found a unique way to stay on the road by installing lifetime RV roof protection systems. It is a job that allows them to travel from location to location while earning income.

She also opens up about an issue many Workampers face, but don’t always fully understand until it is too late. That’s the difference between 1099 contractor work and W-2 employment.

Jessica explains how those differences can impact taxes, scheduling, overtime and overall job expectation. She discusses why it is so important to ask the right questions before accepting any position.

If you are considering Workamping or looking for creative ways to earn money while traveling, this conversation offers some valuable real-world insight.

Jessica’s story is a great reminder that the Workamping lifestyle offers incredible freedom, but it also requires awareness and preparation.

From her experience installing RV roof systems as a 1099 contractor, she has created a way to earn income while traveling to places most people never see.

At the same time, her challenges with 1099 versus W-2 employment highlight how important it is to understand how you are classified, how taxes are handled, and what that means for your income and workload.

She also reinforced the importance of asking detailed questions before accepting any Workamper position so there are no surprises when you arrive.

Beyond the work itself, Jessica clearly values the people she meets, the places she explores, and the sense of freedom that comes from living on the road.

She has experienced great employers and difficult situations, and those lessons have helped her build a better path forward.

If you would like to connect with Jessica or ask her questions about her journey, you can find her on Facebook under Jessica Lynn Peacock.

She is happy to help others who are looking to leave the traditional 9-5 lifestyle and explore the country through Workamping.
