Richard Smith, a former Eastman Kodak employee, took early retirement in 2009 and now lives in a motorhome nearly 13 metres long. He does workamping, performing maintenance and reception tasks at campgrounds in exchange for a free pitch with water and electricity. He has 20,000 dollars left in savings while carrying more than 350,000 dollars in mortgage and other debt. In winter he and his wife stay at their home in Florida, and in the warm season they travel across the US.
