The Basics of Working From an RV

One of the biggest perks of having a job that allows you to work from home is that with
the proper setup, you can work from your RV anywhere in the world. In this chapter, we
take a quick look at what you need in order to successfully make the transition from
working from your home to working from your RV.


Establish a Designated Workspace

One of the most important things you can do right off the bat to set yourself up for
success is to establish a designated workspace. Don’t just assume that you’ll work from
your bed, the couch, or your kitchen table. As glamorous as it sounds to work from your
bed, you’re not as productive as you are when you walk into a space that’s specifically
designed for you to work from. Plus, by establishing a specific workspace, you can create
the feeling of stepping into and leaving work.


WiFi Resources for Staying Connected

One of the most challenging aspects of working from an RV is having a stable and
consistent WiFi connection. Thankfully technology continues to improve, and there
are more available options now than there were a few years ago.


Establishing a Routine

When you work from home, whether you live in a sticks-and-bricks or an RV, create a
morning routine to help set up and establish your workday. Working from home means
that there isn’t a clear boundary between work and home unless you create it.


While a routine is often important in a sticks-and-bricks home, it’s even more important
when traveling in an RV because you’re in a constant state of change. Having a routine
helps ground you amid the fun and adventure that’s a part of RV life.


Setting Clear Expectations

You have a designated workspace, your WiFi is sorted, and you’ve established your
routine—now, let’s cover what it actually takes to travel while working remotely from
your RV.


Enjoy the New Adventure!

Congrats—you’ve made it through the course and are now prepared to successfully work
remotely from your RV. It’s such a privilege to be able to work and travel, and ultimately
live a life you’ve dreamt of, so remember to enjoy it. As you find your groove, remind
yourself that it’s okay to slow down.
