Asking for average wages for maintenance workers on the road is like asking how much it costs to go out for dinner. Depends if you go to the fast food restaurant and pick from the value menu or if you go for elegant fine dining with wine and a gourmet meal. Do you plan to work with a contractor who is required to pay Davis-Bacon wages? Do you plan to work union jobs? Do you plan to work for a temp staffing service? Do you plan to work at a campground in exchange for a campsite? All those are realistic options for working RVers. You know from your experience that there's a vast range in the pay scale of those choices. Maintenance skills are always in demand. For casual, short-term jobs, a full hook-up RV site and an additional $10 - $15 an hour may be a ball park figure. This is based on what I've seen and what I'm hearing from employers, contractors, and workers, not on official statistics. Oh, and by the way, you titled the picture "Bad Day." Want give a location and elaborate on that some?

Rather than asking what is the norm or average for a maintenance worker, what positions are most likely to pay a total of $30 USD per day? I have been working on a budget and I believe my current daily estimated need is $27 USD per days over 200 days per year (I have to check my budget again to be sure, but this is close). I expect to be W-1099 rather than W-2 and I expect to move around some. What types of jobs should I look for? I have decades to go before I reach the Social Security Insurance (SSI) age.
