Well, what do you call those guys who rate Campgrounds for Woodalls and Trailer Life? They get paid to travel around, stay at campgrounds and rate them. That would qualify as a Professional Camper.

Well if you are reading their Blog and have a question about their Professional Status - why not ask them why they think they are professional campers.

I have a problem with anyone staying in an A/C RV with Sat TV saying they are camping.

Alot of you fall into the trap of equarting money with skill.


No, I am not equating money with skill, I am equating "Paid" with "Professional"

I never said Professional, or Paid = Skilled

I have many skills, And I've held a few professions.

I have been, but am not at this time, a professinal security guard
A professional salesman, A professional small engine mechenic, a professional precision grinder, (Machinist) a professional warehosue man, a Farmer (yes I got paid) and more.

My most recent, and longest running profession was Dispatcher, yes, I got paid to tell people where to go.

But that says nothing of my skill in those areas.


Now, as it happens, I was a very good dispatcher. Many had cause to be either pleased, or displeased, with my skill.. The latter group (Displeased) for the most part share an element of their address (C/O Warden)

Well, actually tourists. For only $20 million, you can go to the Space Station.


Also, they don't take AAA or Good Sam discounts!

I wonder where they hook up the other end of their stinky slinky????

I think it's just someone who has a job (profession or not) who live in a campground. Unfortunately, if they don't like the weekend campers, they're in the wrong place.
