Things They Don’t Tell You in Glamping School
Episode 1: Maintenance Jobs You Never Trained For🔧
🎯 Sector Insight
Running a glamping site isn’t just about bunting and bliss. It’s about reputation, resilience, and repair jobs you never saw coming. This series lifts the canvas flap on the real-world skills operators develop — often under pressure, occasionally in wellies.
🔧 Maintenance Jobs You Now Do Without Flinching
🛁 Spa WhispererDiagnosing hot tub mood swings with the nuance of a marriage counsellor. Cloudy water? Damp flue? Guest glitter? I now speak fluent tub.
💡 Fairy Light TherapistResponding to 11:42pm texts about rogue twinkle lights. My toolkit: head torch, cable ties, and a deep breath.
🚽 Drain Rod GladiatorUnclogging compost loos that have met baby wipes and prosecco. No further comment.
🌧️ Mud StrategistDeploying gravel and bark chips like a mini Highways Agency. Guests want rustic, not swampy.
🧵 Canvas SurgeonRepairing tent flaps in horizontal rain. Guests dry, dignity damp.
🔥 Boiler DiplomatCoaxing passive-aggressive water heaters back to life. Sometimes with whispered threats.
🪣 Why It Matters
Maintenance isn’t just reactive — it’s reputational. It’s where your values show up in the grit. Transparent pricing, ethical business, and guest-led design are all well and good… until the compost loo rebels or the fairy lights go existential.
📣 Coming Soon
Episode 2: Guest Impact & Peace keeping Because sometimes you’re not just a host — you’re a UN envoy with bunting.
