Probably not as much as in the summer but I see RVs parked at the ski lodge during the winter and I'm pretty sure they're employees. And then there's places like Death Valley and Palm Springs. I'm thinking though it's more for people who are retired and would like to earn a little extra income while they travel rather than a year round way of life. The ones I know take their RV to the Oregon coast and stay for a few months---they've been going back to the same campground and working as hosts for years---then they spend the rest of the year at their house which is in California I think.

When Jesse; who was still in Anchorage; first came up to Kotzebue and saw what his other brothers were doing, the very first words out of his mouth were. I can't do that - no way.

Out of all four of my sons; hands down, there is no dispute. Jesse is the best !!

Say what you want... not what you 'presume'!! The book of Proverbs!

Some of the public schools in Anchorage have people in RV's stay on their properties in the summer to cut down on vandalism.
