Speakers

For the 2021 RTRs, we are focusing on strengthening old alliances and forging new ones.  In particular, we are working to connect with other YouTubers as collaborations benefit all channels involved.  We are very pleased to have so many YouTube Nomad Speakers present their expertise for you this year.  After all, “Alliance” is our last name!

Join an Online Community

Connect with other participants from the RTRs every evening at 5pm Pacific Time / 6pm AZ Time.  Join in a one-hour interactive Zoom meeting.  RSVP for each Virtual Caravan Connection at http://meetup.com/Caravans/Events.  Virtual Caravan Connections continue four times each week after the RTRs complete.

Also, check out HOWA’s Facebook groups to connect with others in the mobile community:


Arrange to Camp Together

Although HOWA is not organizing any in-person gatherings for legal and ethical reasons, we recognize that some in the mobile community will still want to camp together at their own risk. Consider connecting with others who share your level of COVID-related precautions by joining the Camp Together Facebook Group at http://facebook.com/groups/WeCampTogether.

OR, the CheapRVLiving Forum at http://CheapRVLiving.com/forums. Use one or both of these venues to create your own personal camp. Although your arrangements to camp with others is unaffiliated with HOWA and the RTRs, we do recognize that community is important. Please use caution when participating in these unofficial camps. We want you and your camp mates to remain healthy and safe.


Buy, Sell, Services, Free Stuff

Although we don’t have a physical bulletin board where people can offer items, assistance, sell goods, etc.  We do have a HOWA Marketplace on Facebook.  Here is a link to buy, sell, give for free, or find a real deal — https://www.facebook.com/groups/howamkt.

Sponsors of the 2021 Online RTRs

RTRs Committee & Volunteers

Your 2021 Online RTRs Committee includes HOWA Trustees and Staff Members — Joni Zander, Rhonda Catt, Susan Merrill, Bobbi Stice, Robert Wright, Phyllis Bickford, Suanne Carlson — and KC volunteering as technical support from CheapRVLiving.  They have been working since late October to bring a quality event to the mobile community.

In addition to all of our volunteer presenters, we have volunteer moderators in the live text chat during the classes.  These folks answered questions, prompted users, forwarded questions, and sometimes kept the peace.

Thanks you for everything you all did to serve our community during the 2021 Online RTRs.

Together we are changing lives and building community!
