This isn’t a bad view for a Monday…
You may be asking yourself, what in the world is a digital nomad?
These days, there are all sorts of slang terms and language used to identify millennial work practices.
A digital nomad, according to Wikipedia, “… are a type of people who use telecommunications technologies to earn a living and more generally, conduct their life in a nomadic manner. Such workers often work remotely from foreign countries, coffee shops, public libraries, co-working spaces or recreational vehicles.”
As many millennials are concerned, going into an office for a 9-5 grind is a thing of the past.
The concept of remote work has exploded in popularity recently, particularly since 2020, when many offices closed their doors due to COVID-19 restrictions. This shift has shown many workers that productivity isn’t confined to a cubicle – all you need is a laptop and a reliable Wi-Fi connection (like Starlink!).
This newfound freedom has contributed significantly to the rise of travel vans. No longer just for sightseeing, conversion vans, with their comfortable living spaces and mobile connectivity, are becoming increasingly popular not just for travel but also as mobile workstations and even full-time homes for digital nomads.
The ability to work remotely from anywhere in the world has become a reality for many, and a custom travel van can be the perfect solution to combine work and wanderlust.
Another reason folks may be interested in becoming a “digital nomad” is the financial constraints experienced when working for a company in a major metropolitan area. Cities like New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles are hubs to some of the nations largest tech companies. Paying rent or owning a home in these areas is often out of the question. Living in a recreational vehicle or conversion vanoffers a far less expensive solution while providing the ability to easily travel.
Whatever your reasoning is for working remotely, transforming a Conversion Van or Motorhome into an office is not as difficult as you may think.
If this is interesting to you, consider the following:
Think inside the box:
Having furniture that doubles as storage space can help you create an area conducive to getting work done. Check out these examples of individuals whose chairs/kitchen storage doubled as space for laptops.
Slide & go:
One thing to consider when planning your Conversion Van mobile office is to install a desk that slides out. This is a great way to save space and is easy for stowing.
Desk/table:
Depending on your campervan or motorhome, you can convert your table, easily into a desk. Some conversion vans will be already equipped with a table. Most will require installation. Campervans typically have one that can be broken down to allow for more space at night.
Don’t forget the Wi-Fi:
There are numerous ways to achieve Wi-Fi access from your conversion van or campervan. Many “digital nomads” will use Cell Phone signal boosters, satellite connection and tethering methods.
