"When Victoria Childers and Lamont Landrum Jr. bought an old RV in 2019, they knew they wanted to leave the suburbs of Detroit and travel the country full-time with their three dogs and two cats. Five years later, they'vefully embraced a "work-camping" lifestyle, with Landrum taking seasonal jobs in parks, campgrounds, and farms across the country in exchange for hourly pay and a free place to park and hook up their now-upgraded RV to utilities."
"For the first several months of RV life, the married couple relied solely on Childers' income from her remote job as a customer success representative for a software education company. But Landrum, who had worked as a handyman in Detroit, didn't take to funemployment. So he signed up for a popular "work-camping" job: helping with American Crystal Sugar's annual sugar beet harvest in eastern North Dakota."
Victoria Childers and Lamont Landrum Jr. bought a 1992 Tiffin Allegro motorhome in 2019 and renovated it over several months. They sold their Wixom house for about $250,000 and began traveling full-time with three dogs and two cats in November 2020. The couple works seasonal jobs in parks, campgrounds, farms, and agricultural harvests, combining hourly pay with free RV parking and utility hookups. Childers initially supported the lifestyle with a remote job, while Landrum pursued work-camping roles, including a lucrative sugar beet harvest that paid nearly $7,000 in six weeks. The lifestyle prioritizes freedom over high pay and glamour.
