Workcampers in Demand: Phenomenon Gathers Speed
Category: Travel
October 6, 2020 — Tens of thousands of retirement-age Americans will be migrant laborers next year, even if the economy recovers quickly. Laid off from their jobs before they wanted to, bored, or finding that their meager savings plus Social Security aren’t providing enough for a comfortable retirement, many are hitting the road, driven by economic necessity and wanderlust.
Workcampers (also workampers and workvampers), as these nomads are often called, represent a growing niche of the retirement world. They have even spawned an industry, van customizers, who can’t keep up with the demand for converting delivery vans and the like into rolling homes with every necessity included. In addition to making a living, devotees of the lifestyle enjoy the freedom and flexibility that comes with living on the road.

Just saw the movie, "Nomadland", which is really good. All of the things mentioned in this article are covered in the movie. You can see it at Hulu and other streaming locations, plus some theatres. No wonder Frances McDormand has been nominated for so many awards. In the movie she portrays a very warm, optimistic person dealing with adversity.
