  1. We tried to sign up, can't remember for sure, maybe the 2018-19 peak season but the spots were all gone in Campbellsville KY before they ever officially opened it up. That's the last we tried. We had stayed in the campground right across the street from the FC. Basically, it was a big parking lot but it worked well for us. We walked to work. The gig wasn't bad once we got into the groove. I think my best times were in ICQA and in the packaging part of gift wrap. I was very good at counting so I was typically right up there with the fulltime workers in my numbers in ICQA. Running a machine in packaging was very physically demanding but it went well. I had a supervisor that saw where I worked well and put me there to crank out the packages. Young guy, Canadian, good guy, really liked him. There were some really good people there, there were some awful people there. We worked night shift and liked the more laid back atmosphere. I'm sure some things have changed dramatically since we were there. Will probably never go back now. Anyway, it was a decent gig for us. Made some decent money. At this point, I'd probably see if I could find a job with Kroger or Fry's or someplace like that if I really wanted a job. I suspect after Amazon, it would probably not be that difficult. But that's just me. Good luck!
  2. Fulltime for somewhere around a decade. Bought a house about 2.5 years ago and the RV has been parked beside the barn ever since. Cumberland Plateau, Tennessee. We did OK in the RV but wanted more. We're country people and wanted a garden, a yard, ---space--- around us, and not having to worry about who we would torque off if we actually wanted to wash our RV or our cars. No worries about annoying neighbors anymore, and I mean that in both directions, us annoying them as well as them annoying us. It was good for a time. But we had our fill of fulltiming. Could we go back? I suppose. Neither of us want to. We like our place in the country. We have a son in the Phoenix area that would love to have us move in with him and his wife right now, just live there. We've talked about that being what might happen when we approach decrepitude. But we're not there yet. It's possible we may move a little closer at some point, still in our own place, probably more remote than they'd ever want to be, and that be a stepping stone for us. We still have the last RV we lived in. (Glendale Titanium 34E39QS) We had thought we might do one more stint at Amazon but that never materialized. It's entirely too big for us to want to take it on a weekend camping trip. We've toyed with trading it in on a much smaller one that would be more appropriate for a short vacation. Hasn't happened yet but still might.
  3. Funny thing about it, I wasn't originally going to get a spare pump. But an rv supply store I was visiting for a few other unrelated items had it discounted to something like $40 at the time and I just couldn't pass it up. I think the cheapest I saw it lately was more like $60.
  4. A few years ago, I bought a Shurflo Revolution pump as a spare. It got put in when the old one died and it's been doing a really good job. 55psi, 7.5amps, 3GPM. I'm quite happy with it. Granted, it can't keep up with multiple draws all at once as well as a 5+GPM pump could, but that doesn't happen here. Good showers, often just as good or better than being on a city water connection. (I do have a regulator for the city water connection and don't want the psi numbers up much above about 60psi. Not sure what the RV plumbing is rated for but above that seems too much to me. Others might disagree.)
  5. We just had a guy in this park last weekend with a St. Bernard!! She was very calm and very laid back, wonderful personality. Considering the obnoxious ankle-biters that bark at every leaf that moves and snap and snarl at the ends of their leashes that pass through, the St. Bernard was a breath of fresh air.
