    I have found 15% (I think) discounts with being a AAA member, or a Sam’s Club member as well. When I bought my RV, they had 30 days of free camping if you go visit the location where they gave a high pressure sales pitch, to which I foolishly succumbed. It was thousands of dollars, which I don’t have and quarterly fees on top of that of $138. The Travel Resorts of Ohio have about 5 locations, including NC and Gettysburg where you can stay up to two weeks at a time, once you have bought in. I wish I could find a way out since I am on a fixed income. It is more suited and more economical for a family that wants to go out every weekend and mostly stay local, not for a single individual like myself who wants a secluded site away from noise. They have a pool, the Mohican River, cabins, activities for kids, etc. Then, if you pay another annual fee for Coast to Coast, you can stay at other places around the country in the network for $10 a night. I wasn’t thinking when I signed up because most of what I want to do is off grid and just travel–at least once I get the condo cleared and sold (serious hoarding going on). What a mess I got myself into.

    It varies from park to park and the particular job you end up doing. Some are hosts or reservation clerks, or gift shop workers. I get a weekly advisory from Workers On Wheels that lists job offers for a number of facilities. How much work required for a place is listed in the ads and the moderator Colleen Sykora has articles about what employers are looking for and also gives advice in articles on what is too much for am emplyer to expect for a hookup and site. I haven’t done it yet, but have been getting her newsletter for years. When I was in Colorado I just asked at the gift shop and they told me who to go see. Hope this isn’t too rambling.
