The magazine is published on each odd month of the year and is mostly filled with advertising by organizations that wish to attract RVers to fill positions. The majority of such positions are paid, seasonal employment but there are many agencies and charitable organizations who also use this service. While there are internet sites for many of those who seek volunteers, many of the most unique such positions are with organizations who have no other way for potential volunteers to find them. The advertisements which are placed in the magazine are listed by state to aid in locating a position in the area of interest. In addition, subscribers may also advertise for positions and singles can also place an ad for someone to share RV expenses. They also have a place for subscribers to post a resume which many employers look through when seeking to fill positions. This feature is used more by the employers of paid positions than for volunteer positions.

Each issue of the magazine also has stories about featured job positions or types of position and  articles to help new work-campers in finding a good position, writing resumes, and related subjects. They also hold annual contests for employer and workamper of the year.

 The magazine has both a paper version which is mailed to each subscriber and also an electronic version which the subscriber can either read on-line or down-load to his computer and then read via an Acrobat reader. A major advantage to the electronic subscription is the fact that those subscribers also receive postings of new positions on an electronic "hot line," nearly every day. These "hot line" ads are usually sent out each work day of the year, except in the very rare case when there is no newly posted position. 

 The cost of this service is very reasonable, but I suggest that you check for yourself, as the price does change at times. In the nearly ten years that I have been a subscriber, the price has only risen from $25/year to a current cost of $37/year.
