I am not retired or a snowbird or a work camper. There is a certain segment of recreational vehicle owners who require an RV as part of their profession. In my case, my diesel pusher is used as a home away from home for my work. I am a heavy equipment operator and I work with my brother building recreational lakes and water features all over the state of Texas for the past 2 years.
- On the job near Newton,TX – February 2006
During this time, I have had the good fortune of residing in a great variety of different locations. They varied from extreme boondocking 30 miles from the closest town to being parked next to a 10,000 sq foot party barn. Needless to say it has been quite an experience. I belong to several different recreational vehicle related internet forums and they have been a real source of information. It can be frustrating trying to find specific information because you have to wade through all the posts regarding camping at Wal-Mart, can I leave my refrigerator on when I am traveling and how do I take my cat camping. If you come right down to it many of these forums are just the same information posted over and over and over.
The other information I enjoy reading are the blogs of people who are utilizing their recreational vehicles on a pretty much daily basis. Sadly. most of these folks appear to be independently wealthy and they wander around with no real point. Not that I am knocking them but it gets pretty boring after awhile and I guess they get bored as well because many of them return to the stick house after a period of time and the blog just dries up.
Here in Texas (and I guess elsewhere too) many people do live in their RVs when they are working. It is common in the oilfield and construction industry because the jobs last for a good little period of time and then you move on to the next job. My blog is just going to be the day to day goings on and hopefully I will also be able to show you how the present setup transpired over the last 2 years.
