Jaimie Hall

Jaimie worked and traveled full-time with her husband Bill in their RV from 1992 to 2001. 

When Jaimie and Bill hit the road in 1992, they knew they would have to work on the road, but the information about working on the road was extremely limited. Jaimie was looking for a ‘how-to’ manual which gave the reader the necessary tools and resources to find jobs that paid well. Recognizing there were many others who could use such a book Jaimie wrote Support Your RV Lifestyle! An Insider's Guide to Working on the Road.

Her other books with co-author Alice Zyetz include RV Traveling Tales: Women's Journeys on the Open Road and two eBooks: The Woman's Guide to Solo RVing and Taking the Mystery out of RV Writing. 

Jaimie also writes regularly for Workamper News. She and Alice co-edit the RV Lifestyle Newsletter, an e-zine on the RV lifestyle that goes out twice a month. She also writes a column for RoadTripAmerica.com and for other RV publications.

Bill passed away in 2004. Jaimie now travels part time in a Lance camper. She is pictured here at the Ajax Cafe wearing one of the many crazy hats patrons can wear.

Alice Zyetz

Alice lived on the road full-time for ten years. She traveled with her husband throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, and a special trip to the British Isles in a camper van they rented from a member of the International Caravanning Association. During their trips, they’ve always managed to connect with local people through their various interests, including playing music (guitar and banjo), playing bridge, square dancing, etc. As a monthly columnist for RV Lifestyle, Alice continues to ferret out other traveler’s special interests.

While traveling, Alice authored You Shoulda Listened to Your Mother: 36 Timeless Success Tips for Working Women, which grew out of her consulting career as president of In Plain English Associates, in which she trained business and technical people to communicate clearly and concisely. In 2003 Alice and husband Chuck settled in Jojoba Hills Escapees Park in Southern California and now travel part-time.  Alice, former teacher, loves working with others encouraging them to write their own stories. She leads writing workshops in various parks as she travels. She and her husband also lead singalongs and participate in jam sessions wherever they are.

Along with co-author Jaimie Hall, her books include RV Traveling Tales: Women’s Journeys on the Open Road, The Woman’s Guide to Solo RVing, Taking the Mystery Out of RV Writing. Alice also authored Taking the Mystery Out of Retiring to an RV in e-book and CD format. She alternates writing a monthly column with Jaimie Hall for RoadTripAmerica and is co-editor of RV Lifestyles ezine.
