| My partner and I have worked most of this year from a little 13 ft Scamp travel trailer all across the U.S. and we're currently building out a van to get a bit of extra mobility. I'm a staff engineer for a consultancy with lots of meetings with our enterprise clients, so solid internet is a major concern. The hotspot I use is called "Glocal Me". It's run by a company out of Hong Kong, and sells fairly expensive U.S. data packages. I chew through a lot of data on that, but the price is worth it to me because there doesn't seem to be any throttling during periods of high consumption, I can scale back what I pay for when I have other options for access, and the data purchased works on all major U.S. carriers so I have a much wider coverage area than I would trying to tether with my phone. It works internationally so I'm looking forward to using it for trips abroad where I've generally relied on putting a local sim in my phone and tethering. In a trailer this size, the table converts to your bed, so having a good desk set-up is tricky. I've landed on a usb-c external monitor that goes in a claw I mount on the table each morning to provide an eye level monitor. I use a small mechanical keyboard and wireless mouse, so the whole set-up is easy to store each morning. I can't recommend working on a laptop all day every day, I'm young and fit but maintaining that posture for long still really messes with me and most other folks I've talked to about it. For power, we're just running 200w of Solar when we're off-grid (which is about half the time in the West where boondocking within cell-service abounds.) My partner and I are able to power our laptops with USB-c adapters so we can run off 12v directly without the waste of going through an inverter. We love doing this enough that we're putting a ton of effort into building a van out right now. A primary factor in that choice is that with an RV or a trailer, you're much more limited on where you can park. We've had days where we haul our bitty trailer into town for meetings to get better service, but people certainly look at us funny when we're posted up in some parking lot working on our laptops. Let me know if you've got questions. I've been having a blast with this way of living and have met a bunch of people doing the same this last year. I've really enjoyed sharing the experience with people. |
