I don't own an RV (recreational vehicle or caravan) but will "act" like I do

When I got to play an old doddering doctor in the indie film "Bad Exorcists," I met a man named Jeff Johnston. He was working on lighting and things like that for the film.
That was filmed in Portland, and I only worked one very warm Sunday afternoon in a real doc's office. It turned out that Jeff lives nearby and does a syndicated RV and camping lifestyle show that runs on Facebook. It's called "Rollin' On TV." Its sponsors are companies that make RVs and all sorts of accessories, like canopies and instant hot water systems.
On Monday, I will be filming a commercial with Jeff at a local RV park for a canopy of some kind. This is my second job with Jeff and it pays quite well for the two or three hours it takes.
Meeting Jeff on that set was a lucky thing for me. I was going to put a link to the show, but it might be considered advertising. If you are curious, it is an easy search.

That is true Anna. I would not want to be accused of trying to sell something.

It is less a job (since I only earn when I get the opportunity to work) than a hobby.

@ChoukseyMK It is exceptional and just a fluke that I found a way to pursue it.

Thanks, it is a fun hobby and I usually have to make the 100 mile drive to Portland to film anything, so it is nice to do something local.

Yes, it is a lot of fun. One of those things that you never really know what will come up.

You have the opportunity to meet a mix of people as taking part in a film.The recreational vehicle in the picture is a luxurious one.

That is a really nice RV alright. Yes, it seems that whenever I do take part in any of these film or TV commercials, the people I meet are all very supportive and helpful.

True, it was just a happenstance meeting too, then I ran into him at Costco here in town and we exchanged info.
