Ya might not want to come to San Diego.  Jusayinzall......

Thanks a bunch guys, for the very through lists.  Much appreciated!

For a couple about to set off on full timing in a few months...is there a list of questions that we should be asking on the phone when considering a work camping or volunteer position?

Just don't want to get caught in a situation where we spent $$$ to get to another state and a week or two into a position we learned that the expectation isn't anything close to what we thought but we didn't have the experience to know to ask up front.

Following this thread.  My wife has an internet business that owns her throughout the day (and often in to the evening) so ideally if we can find a place where I can volunteer would be great....especially since I come from a maintenance background.

What is the "FWS" listings mentioned above?

If you wish to stretch your budget by cutting expenses as well as adding some very interesting experiences to your RV life, then I suggest getting away from commercial RV parks completely and looking into things like wildlife refuges, historic sites, and even our national parks as a place that you can do some very interesting things and learn many new things, while providing a service that is much needed with agencies that have too little budget to accomplish their missions, and so they rely upon volunteers. We have done and seen many things which we could never have done in any other way. Check our our list of volunteer experiences at this link, and visit the pages with pictures and descriptions of the 20+ volunteer experiences!

Thanks a bunch Kirk. Really appreciate the other options to consider.

Getting ready to go full time next year and have read some posts and positions that actually trade site, hookups, etc. or a few hours a week for the couple, vs. others that actually have a small hourly pay vs. volunteering. Can somebody give me the thumbnail sketch of the pros and cons of each please?
