Set up a Dedicated Workspace
Just like with working from home, it’s important to have a dedicated workspace or office when working from your RV. Many folks choose to travel in an RV because of the minimalistic opportunities it offers, but, when living and traveling in the same small space, it’s still important to have a specific place that you regularly work from, whether that’s a corner of the bedroom, the dinette, dashboard, or even an outdoor workspace. It can be so tempting to work from bed or your couch, but having an official “office” can be helpful to get into your workflow, reduce distractions, and look a lot more professional during meetings.
