A Great Job for RVers

I found a great job for RVers. It’s remote technical support. With the advent of high speed Internet access and special software, it is now possible for companies to farm out their technical support to employees or contractors from all over the world who work on their own computers at home. It doesn’t matter if home is an RV as long as you can get high speed access at campgrounds or mobile parks or through a satellite dish.

Support people login to the desk software at a website and provide support by email 24/7. Even Network Administrators can monitor networks and reboot computers from home! No more driving to the office and dealing with traffic. If you want to take a walk or a shower during your break you can. The kitchen may be too close for some but at least the food is cheaper!

Many older women and men are doing it and even 17 year old kids. Age doesn’t matter. It works great for those with disabilities or people who want to be home with the kids. You just need a knowledge of computers and the Internet.

One such place to checkout if you have a solid knowledge of webhosting, website design, technical support, etc. is at Lunarpages.

Of course, there is always Ebay as well and other Internet entrepreneurial options. ;-)

Santa Was Good to Me!

Yes, Santa was very good. He gave me a portable disposal tank on wheels to empty my RV when I am not hooked up to a sewer. My model holds 35 gallons I believe. I can easily empty my tanks into it and roll it on up to the nearest disposal station or the sewer cleanout plug on friends homes. It comes with a nice long handle with a hook on it that could be attached to a bike or hitch to SLOWLY move it. Yes, freedom is wonderful. Why move the whole RV just to empty a tank?!

Portable waste disposal tank

I do have a couple of complaints. The hose included with it is way too thin. You will want to replace it immediately. The brilliant designers of the tank think it will naturally vent through the RV’s system while filling. Maybe in theory but not in practice even with a perfectly straight hose. They did provide a capped outlet on top too which helps but if you purchase the optional fill indicator, it goes in that outlet and you lose your venting! They need to either build the fill indicator in or add another vent.

For those who want to know, it was purchased at Camping World.
