Working remotely and living your Best RV life goes together like peanut butter and jelly! If you own a new or used RV and have the flexibility with your job to work from home, then take to the road and enjoy what our amazing country has to offer! Here are some RV tips for working remotely!
Connectivity Counts
We get it: there’s nothing that allows you to enjoy the great outdoors as much as turning off all the devices and screens and just getting outside, but if you’re working remotely from your RV, staying connected is a must. Maintaining a communication line between you and your supervisor or coworkers is essential to doing your job well from the road.
The two things you should make sure you have are WiFi connectivity and a backup power source.
For the first, make sure you scout our RV campgrounds with free WiFi. If the service is still a little spotty in places, make sure that your cell phone plan includes a hotspot upgrade. It’s a good way to have a backup plan.
And speaking of backup, one thing you should also consider if you’re working remotely from your RV is having a solar power package on your new or used RV. This will keep you fully powered even in bad weather. A small scale way you can help yourself out is to keep a couple of fully charged power banks in your RV’s emergency supply kit.
Stick to a Schedule
Having flexibility in your job is great…until it isn’t! Traveling feels like a vacation, even if you’re supposed to be working. So treat the privilege of working remotely with care and responsibility. If your hours are flexible, consider working on the weekends and plan to enjoy different outings on weekdays when there are fewer crowds and sometimes weekday discounts. Keep to the work schedule you’ve set, and indulge in fun outings in your downtime.
Create an Office
One of the best ways to manage your time well is to give yourself some office space. We mean it! Many of our new and used RVs for sale offer an interior workspace. You’d be surprised at how essential this is! Giving yourself a specific area in your RV to do your work allows you to stay better focused on the task at hand and not be sidetracked by nearby distractions.
