Working from the RV – what’s it worth to you?

Remote work is here to stay. It’s less common than it was three years ago when health concerns drove millions to work from home. However, the percentage of people working from home is a lot higher than it was in the last decade. The Hill reports that 30% of us do at least some work from home, up from about 6% in the last quarter. Working from home is great of course, but even that can be a little constraining. When we talk about working from home, we’re actually talking about working remotely and that can happen anywhere that there’s an internet and phone connection. So why not work from the RV?

The problem with working from the RV

Your RV is your home away from home. With a kitchen and a bed, it beats the idea of finding some hotel on the road. Hotels can be sketchy, expensive, and occasionally both. With an RV you know that you’re getting the comforts of home.

But what about reliable internet? A lot of times, your RV blocks cell signals from even getting in. Blame the metal, wire, and fiberglass between you and the outside world. Even if you get decent internet in the RV, there’s only so much you can do while tethering. You can’t really stream video, and it may not be a reliable enough connection for your work tasks. It’s a big concern for people who want to stay productive while outside the office.

There’s a great solution

Take a look at the top of this article. It’s called the GOTSPOT. You’ve heard of hotspots. They don’t work very well for multiple devices, they’re slow, and the data plans are pretty weak. GOTSPOT solves all those problems.

It’s a simple cellular router with just one purpose: provide fast Wi-Fi in your RV at a great price. It’s rechargeable, pocketable, and comes to you ready to use. You’ll wonder how you got along without it.

With strong Wi-Fi you’ll have the option to work, relax, surf, and shop from the RV just as if you were at home. You can even run a streaming box to your TV so you don’t have to watch on your phone. Talk about luxury!

If you need even more…

This SIMTELL wireless router is the next step in connectivity. It allows you to connect to your office VPN and even gives you wired Ethernet output for those who need it. Its range is good enough for your RV or even a large area around it. It uses eSIM technology so it can connect to the strongest carrier in your area, not just the one carrier you use on your phone. If you’re serious about doing business on the road, you’ll want one.

Don’t forget the cell booster

By itself, a hotspot or cellular router may not solve all your problems. If you’re having problems getting cell signal into the RV, that can still be a problem. It’s great working from the great outdoors — and the GOTSPOT lets you do it — but if you have reception problems in your RV you’ll want a cell phone signal booster.

A cell booster like this Drive Reach RV from weBoost is just the ticket. It’s easy to self-install and gives you even stronger cell service inside than you get outside! It works with your GOTSPOT or SIMTELL and also boosts a total of 8 devices in the RV. That’s enough for everyone to get strong cell service on their phone. That can make your investment in a GOTSPOT go even further!
