By Valerie Coffey In April of 2014, Mitch and I took our first RV trip together a few months before we purchased our new home on wheels. We thought a short trial voyage with a rental RV would be a good idea before we exchanged our sticks & bricks house in Massachusttes for full-time life on the road. (Um. Ya think!?) Mitch had some experience RVing on family vacations but me, not so much. So we…
The holidays bring a large amount of seasonal jobs that are perfect for RVers, such as Amazon’s CamperForce. Let’s look at what Amazon’s CamperForce is, what the work entails, and the pros and cons of working for Amazon.
Hey, Full-Timers!
This isn’t something that we do – we telecommute full-time – but we’ve heard great things about Amazon’s CamperForce program.
If you RV and you’re looking for some seasonal work as we approach Christmas, check this out!
Obviously, we’re a bit bummed about that – $50/month for unlimited data at LTE speeds was an incredible deal.
The next offerings from the big players – AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-mobile – come nowhere close to unlimited. Very much the opposite of unlimited. In fact, most of them are capped at about 30-40GB/moth and can get obscenely expensive ($400/mo). With some of them, when you reach the cap, they’ll throttle you back to effectively-unusable speeds.
Maybe the days of unlimited data are gone.
Or are they?
Here’s Karma, for ya:
Karma’s another player billing themselves with unlimited data. And for only $50/mo.
It’s not the fastest thing in the world – 5Mbps. But for telecommuters – we full-time, working RVers! – 5Mbps is loads better than 0Mbps. That’s certainly enough for email, browsing, Hipchat, Skype, Google Hangouts and all of the other video-conferencing platforms on which we depend.
We’ve ordered ours and we’ll do a quick unboxing/setup/performance video when it arrives.
Oh, and if you want to sign up for Karma and get your own portable, unlimited (or even one of their less-expensive limited but still quite generous) hotspots, here’s $10 to get you started.
