We really enjoyed reading Over the Next Hill by Dorothy Ayers Counts and David R. Counts, an Ethnography of RVing Seniors in North America. Living either full or part time in an RV has been an alternative lifestyle in North America since the 1920s. By the 1930s Wally Byam's Airstream company could not keep up with the demand for his self-contained "house trailers." And today "RVing" has become so widespread that, for perhaps two million retired North Americans, home is an RV. In their book, anthropologists Dorothy and David Counts tell the story of their research living the life of RVing seniors in trailer parks, "boondocking" sites on government land, laundromats, and other meeting places across the continent.
Steve Anderson, editor of Workamper News, has recently written an e-book called Live Your RV Dreams, a beginners guide to workamping for the part-time or full-time RVer, which will help you in your search for an RV and what it is like to live full time in your RV.
Freedom Road by Howard Hough is an excellent book for those who may look to RVing as a way to cut costs and live cheaply.
Other books to get that will help you in your search for jobs while traveling are Support Your RV Lifestyle by Jamie Hall-Bruzenak.
We met Malia Lane in 2013 when we were workamping in Tennessee. She had been a solo female RVer since 2001, a writer, and also worked as a virtual legal assistant, which drew me to her as I was a legal secretary in my former life. She was at the park to write a story about the park we were workamping at. We had some great conversations and have stayed in touch with her over the years.
She got the inspiration to write a book over two years ago but resisted writing it. However, in 2018 she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and given about a year to live. After getting this diagnosis, she decided it was time to write her book. This book recounts her 17-year journey and how she made her travel dreams come true. It is her wish that this book will inspire you to live your dreams now and in turn, inspire others to live their dreams fully and not wait until it's too late. Her book Fear Less vs. Fearless is about her life and travels, and was recently published on Amazon. You can buy her book here on Kindle. Our friend Malia Lane took her last breath on February 11, 2019. She was a smoker for over 30 years, which ultimately caused her to end her life. She was only in her mid-60s. She is going to be missed.
