Would appreciate any information regarding work (minimum wage or other) to move rv's from one point to another. Thanks in advance, Alan
 
You don't get to use the RV along the way, e.g. sleep or cook in it, and have to deliver it in good shape and clean. And you drive back empty, so you have to make enough money on the delivery to pay for the trip home or to the factory to pick up another. If a motorhome, you bring your own toad or pay to fly back on your own.  I have no idea what the current rate of remuneration is, but you get paid by the mile and cover all your expenses out of that.

Here is a brief article from 2007 that has some clues:

And some words of wisdom from our own RV Forum Library:

Horizon Transport says that for 2011, Driveaway (motorhome delivery) pays $0.78-$0.93 per mile and Pick-up (trailer delivery) pays $1.07-$1.30 per mile (you supply your truck). Learn "How to become a driver" here:

Call some RV dealers. They often have a need for folks to drive RVs from one location to another. Be sure to read the caveats in Gary's message.
 
my parents did the driveaway a long time ago the mileage paid for the expenses and got them home it amounted to a free trip.
