Do you have a set of sleigh-bells for your RV? They may not be required, but they could just give you an edge if you’d like to apply for any one of the 120 positions available this summer at the Lake Rudolph RV Park in Santa Claus, Indiana. The good folks at the lake must figure all RVers are hardy stock, as they’re having a job fair in Santa Claus on February 5. According to our weather radar, Santa Claus is suffering under 20 some degree weather at night, with snow in the 5-day forecast.

To that end, we asked resort’s “talking head” media guy about what our readers who have a bit more common sense (i.e., are spending their winter in more survivable climes, as in Texas or Arizona) could do if they didn’t care to put on the tire chains and make the run to Indiana. Dave Lovell says that next week you should point your web browser to the official website, www.lakerudolph.com for more information on the jobs and on how to apply. But to give you a sneak preview, here’s a bit information we were able to gleen:

Seasonal positions are available at Lake Rudolph in the following areas: Housekeeping, Maintenance, Grounds, Call Center, Welcome Center, Camp Store, Lifeguards, Security, and Shuttle Drivers. The Santa Claus Christmas Store has seasonal positions available in the following areas: Retail Associates and Shipping/Receiving. Applicants should return completed applications by March 13, 2010.

Can you replace it, or will you need a professional to help? Much depends on the design of your rig.

Rigs without slideouts aren’t usually too difficult for the careful do-it-yourselfer. Slide outs can create problems, depending on how they operate. In our rig, Read the rest of this entry »

Camp host with your RV? Here’s the why–and Michigan provides a where

Some fulltimers like hitching up and “moving on” every few days. That’s great, where you can afford the price of fuel. But if you yearn to spend a little more than a couple of days in a given venue, and want something productive to do with your time, camp hosting can be the ticket. With about 1 full time paid staffer for every 36,000 state park visitors, state parks report they’re hard-pressed to meet the needs of their guests. Here’s where camp hosts come in:
