How We Travel Full Time and Work Remotely - RV Life

[@reneeclark45]

To switch from work to personal time maybe routinely physically doing something to help your brain switch gears.... take a short walk, or change your clothes from "work" to "play", or wash your face.... something that signifies a change. Something small that signifies the end of the work day beginning of personal time. Love seeing how different folks make living full time in a small space work. Thanks for sharing!

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

Good to see both of you together in a Vlog.

[@dianestevenson2630]

Rho seems to be her cheerful self again. Nice to see you two find a new rhythm to Rho's new work, KZbin and having fun together.

[@creditguy4922]

Rho seems to be glowing now that she has found her purpose. Great choice to have back in somewhat of a structured routine. Your camp site looks awesome.

[@danielwhite4771]

We are very much in the same work situation as you. My wife works full-time for Home Depot (on line customer service) with only Sunday & Tuesday off. We have to strictly schedule our travel days and find areas and campgrounds with good Verizon cell coverage for our internet. As you did, we will likely get a T-Mobile SIM card for our router. Glad to see another couple working similar, and as usual, a great video. BTW, David, I love your solo camping videos.

[@M_L_N_W]

So nice to see both your faces again!

[@CarrieMtn]

Exactly what I was hoping to hear about. Thanks for sharing. I’m guessing the new job has required you to be more creative. But if you’re chasing good weather and have a lovely back yard, it should be worth it. Im living stationary in my RV right now, but plan to be going more remote. Again gracias.

[@thewanderingshores]

Really enjoyed this video. David we always enjoy your videos but super excited to see Roe in this one too. Miss you guys, safe travels.

[@aprilmarie1829]

We have been full time for a year and a half. For the first year I was working and my husband wasn’t. Now we both work full time. I so relate to the restrictions like needing to move on the weekends. We started our full time journey in a smaller trailer. After four months I had enough of sitting in the dinette all of the time. We saw a larger trailer with reclining seats and a dinette and we were sold. We ripped out the dinette and added two side by side desks which work great but we also have to pack everything up and lay it on the bed. So I relate with that too. Great video as always!

[@VincentsLeder]

Awesome to see you guys again!

[@ekummel]

Look into getting a Docking station for that laptop. All your cables will go to the docking station and only a single USB connects to the laptop...much simpler for tearing down and setting up!

[@patriciasimmon6854]

Thanks for a great video. Happy that you two are doing well and Ro is enjoying her remote job. Take care. 💕from Ky.

[@Takenover83]

I recently got Starlink. It's amazing. And roaming is enabled. And you guys camp in lots of open area's. So should work great for you. And there are way's to get it sooner if you do not want to wait.

[@lancehector4485]

I like the incorporation of David's cooking show! Glad to see you both are doing well. Thanks for the video!

[@hombredeacero3131]

Dinner looked delicious

[@RonInAVan]

Nice camp spot, I drive Back-and-forth From Oregon to Modesto quite often and I always seem to stop off in Redding And hike over to the Sundale glass bridge. You guys should check it out.

[@user-fb7bj8oc7r]

You need to get Roe a free busy light, or something like Stream Deck. This will help to notify when video conferencing or on phone. I have the same issue with home office and family so not just a RV issue but life is easier when you can close the door for work.

[@maryespinola6865]

Have you thought about getting a Clam screen tent? You get get an extra room that way. We don't full time RV, but we love ours

[@rvboondocker2559]

Great video. I recommend waxing every quarter too. Protects the finish from every seasons issues, and road grime. Also, Starlink is the way to go. My wife also works from home. Terrific to finish work and then leave the “house” and go for a walk together. Greatly helps to shift gears, and also reconnecting time together.

[@supplyguy925]

That bison looks amazing. Reminded me I've got some venison that I need eat.

[@dennycappetta2035]

Great video. Nice to Roe. Glad to hear the job is working well for you.

[@Lolaandcassidyadventures]

I work in IT and they sold our office during covid. We bought a motorhome and start snowbirding this winter.:) I plan to use StarLink and LTE router service for work.:)

[@robertgrauman8602]

I had a friend who had a hand drawn picture of a nature scene taped to her monitor. What she would do, is she would flip the picture over the back of the monitor when she needed to use the computer, and when she was done she would flip it back over to cover the screen. Maybe something like that could help with the transition from work to home.

[@mrubin0818]

Miss you both, I hope you all are doing well. I know its been a while, but just wanted to say Hi and I hope you both are happy!

[@markdollins8128]

hope y'all are safe wherever you are.

[@debbie8465]

Have a few folding t.v.trays for eating.

[@redherring87]

My wife and I (and 3 small kids… and a cat) are traveling full time and my wife works remotely. Her shifts change so the hours and days aren’t the same so planning trips is a bit tough and also having 3 kids under 5 while trying to take phone calls can be a bit of a challenge in a 30ft trailer haha.

[@freelodersadventure5346]

That was clever product placement. Love it!

[@TKnEarl]

We can totally relate to a lot of your remote working descriptions! TK used to work a 9-5 and remembers cramming travel days on weekends. She still tutors virtually, and Earl has to tiptoe around when a lesson is in session. Really afraid to get to adventurous with our stays, too, because we fear not having internet. We've had a few stays where internet was spotty and a few stays (thankfully short) with no internet and/or no cell service at all!

[@slashd0t]

Have you checked out Starlink? Basically get awesome signal anywhere you go!

[@strangeadv4977]

You guys kill it!! Our family literally just went up the northern coast in between Gualala and Manchester...Take a break and hit the easy KOA in Manchester to take a breather....The team supports you 👍 Keep it up!

[@da7heaven]

Love you guys! Hope you are well!

[@ROHDESONTHEROAD]

Awesome Kiddos as always.

[@robertr.2103]

Love seeing you guys vlogging again

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Well, I'm lying in bed, listening to Pink Floyd, and watching Chef Hubby prepare an epic meal. I never thought of bison meat being used for New York strip. That sounds good! And the asparagus and taters to go with it. 😋

[@cherylreynolds2672]

I have a company computer and a personal computer. When my work day is done, I shut the lid on my work computer. That helps to create separation.

[@monicalifornia_]

Central CA is such a great jumping off point for so many amazing places. Tahoe, Yosemite, beach, tons of lakes, SF. And Sac has tons of hidden gems. Hope you were able to get out and explore your amazing area.

[@amandah893]

My husband and I have a similar situation. We’ve been living in our Travel Trailer for 2 years now. I’ve worked full time remotely the whole time, and every once in awhile he still comes in talking to me and I’m on a call. I know the “shh” look well. 🤣 Glad to see you both in a video, keep up the good work.

[@Sweetpotaterz]

Nice! We both work fulltime for about 2.5 years in our class a. We don't Boondock during the week and our travelling also has to be planned carefully. One thing that is also hard is gaming is one of our big hobbies, so after a long day, it can be hard on our bodies to do another 3-4 hours of gaming at the computer. That and when we have meetings scheduled at the same time, but we've made it work so far! We aren't too far north of you right now (Klamath Falls, OR).

[@marinablessington7297]

I don't have a camper but u 2 r so cute I love to watch u both!

[@chi2cali]

Congrats on the new job, Roe! It’s wonderful to enjoy what you do. Have you considered Starlink? I know it’s an investment upfront but it would allow you to go to those more remote areas.

[@BryanMPhx]

For an additional fee of 25.00/month, they have a roaming plan that provides excellent bandwidth

[@TwoCaptainsOneShip]

Would love to try the Bison!! The eating/work area definitely makes living in an RV very difficult. Hopefully you can figure out a better solution! Safe travels!

[@RidingElevators]

That bison looks delicious!! Thanks for sharing y’all’s experience working while in the road. I know when we take long road trips it’s hard for me to find that time to get work done. It usually happens when the kids take naps.

[@AmputeeAdventureChannel]

Have you guys considered Starlink? We are full-time RVers near where you filmed this video. We are stationary but Starlink is relatively mobile at this point. We have zero cell service here so we use wifi calling. I also work full-time from home.

[@bd3470]

Been on the starlink wait list for two years now, even made the deposit. We use an AT&T mobile router with 100 gigs a month till we get starlink.

[@labrostraveller]

Interesting vlog. It's nice to combine travel and work.

[@desertsSun6363]

I'm in Southwestern CA. There is allot of dispersed camping here. Plus plenty of primitive camp spot on the property here too

[@coastsider7645]

hey stop by the redding fish hatchery, it is cool☺

[@thecraftyvoyager1232]

I have an online/craft business and can relate. I need internet to work my machines and process my orders. It’s amazing being able to set my own schedule to an extent and do something I enjoy but it’s not without its challenges. Our layout is almost exactly like yours except my desk space is only on the left, the back wall is empty and we have a couch to the right. But. My “office space” is definitely taking over the camper. my husband is being a great sport about living with me in this space 😅

[@ItsAboutTimeNow]

Hope your summer went well

[@toddramsay977]

Bison meat is not only less fat than beef, it has anti-carcinogenic properties that aid in preventing certain types of cancer. Great video!

[@bd3470]

Get a cool "on air" sign

[@leslieingram4887]

You two are too cute! I WFH and have since March 2020. We are making the change to RV life soon so this video is something I have needed to hear. Having a steady signal is required for my job .. good signal.. because all my work is video/Teams-based and VPN is required. Roe-I struggle with WLS, too! You have to make a concerted effort to make that separation - hard to do sometimes. Thanks for the info!

[@harryduncan6699]

Suggestion, T-Mobile is now offering home wireless Wi-Fi……unlimited data. Unit is the size of an oatmeal box and just plugs in. We already had T-mobile phones because of the international free texting and internet, so we dropped cable internet and went with the wireless hone T-mobile. What is nice is I just unplug it and put it in the RV. When we stop for the night, we plug it in and it automatically finds a T-mobile signal if available. So far if the phone has a signal the Wi-Fi has a signal. And the range on the unit for broadcasting is amazing…..far better than a hot spot. Right now I think it’s also $50 per month with unlimited data.

[@chasing_tail_rv]

The sign idea " Can talk/Busy, Can't talk" works well for my husband and I. Our desks are right next to each other. Have you thought about Starlink?

[@MsQ275]

in love with my starlink!

[@scootsbm1876]

Roe so glad to see you!!!!! You look awesome hope to see you more

[@lisafleming9603]

Very sweet video.

[@Justthe2ofUs843]

Starlink is the answer. We boondocks all over and it is fast and reliable.

[@robaanerud]

David would never pay that much. Guys way to tight but I have heard nothing but good things about Starlink.

[@-_-unseen-_-]

Technically tent camping is considered dispersed camping as well as long as your not at a campground. It's not what kind of shelter you have that makes it dispersed.

[@tikoy1955]

Good video. I’m sort of surprised you only have one monitor for work besides your laptop. I could never go back to just one as I’m spoiled now. This campsite looks nice and will save it to my must see.

[@kellsarah]

I hear starlink is a game changer.

[@vaskylark]

I hope I'm wrong, but I can see their RV travels coming to an end. I don't blame Roe for not wanting to tear down her workstation. I would hate that. Writing seems to be on the wall, but I want to be wrong on this. I feel like he's the only reason they're still travelling but I could be completely wrong. Maybe she loves waking up with a different view every other week. That is very appealing. Maybe she likes living on the go constantly, exploring new areas. We don't see enough to really know. I will say this couple works together better than any others I've seen (even me and my own husband who have been together 31 years in June!). I really do hope they continue to travel, but I'd understand that all things must change in life.

[@robertkreuger7607]

Nomad internet is a great way to go

[@mnmm5238]

I'm in the same situation as far as working remotely and only having a Verizon hotspot. So many full timers are getting Starlink. Is this something that you're considering? By the way, we do travel during the week, I work while he drives using the hotspot. Sometimes we have to boost the signal but we bought the equipment before we started this journey. I've been doing this for 3.5 years and have very few issues with connectivity.

[@milonetzler67]

You are actually in Northern California. You are not far from me! If ur planning on coming down to the Sacramento area please lmk I’d love to meet up with you! Been following you guys for a couple years now. Great vid!

[@lorraineanderson149]

Is David working now? Haven't seen a new video for over a year now. Hope you re all ding well, pets included. We miss you on You Tube!

I had a bison burger a few months ago and man it was delicious! I had eat Elk before and it is great alsol

[@joannapahlow7504]

We’ve been doing this for 4 1/2 years. Try doing it with two people working full time. :-) We recently have bought ATT as a backup to VZ.

[@kerstinbak8039]

Hi Roe!!

[@LivinLifeinDrive]

Dang Thomas always being wise and correct lol

[@june5wed]

I’d be interested in a breakdown of the workspace build. Thanks!

[@EddieOckert]

Love the video, but sure do miss Roe's streams. I know she is working hard at her full time job.. just miss you guys streaming :)

[@86DjDavidjr]

Since You are in The Valley you should go to the asparagus festival

[@bigdaddeo76]

Any chance you could mount the computer components on the table, so you don't have to break it down to travel? Something like 2 sided tape so if you want to move say the keyboard to eat or kraft, you could.

[@Paul-GL1800]

👍👍. Do you still think a cell booster in needed? You still use one?

[@lisamcgrath3132]

So good seeing Roe!!!

[@BradTyner]

When I started RV'n fulltime at the end of 2020, I took both Verizon and AT&T phones plans with me just to be certain I would have options for cell service and working remotely. I found that throughout my travels out west through New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Montana, South Dakota, Colorado... in each of these places AT&T is always way better for data service over Verizon. Verizon was mostly useless and I was staying in RV parks not BLM. I got rid of my Verizon plan and just have AT&T now.

[@bigpoppa8576]

Wanna try that bison yum

[@caten3522]

We are dealing with same thing with connections to the internet but we think we finally figured it out! You seem to really enjoy your work!! And y’all look so happy! Are they still hiring?

[@johnbarry1144]

We spent this winter mostly in Lake Havasu but in the area I noticed that my T-Mobile coverage was night and day better than my wife's Verizon, my phone showed a 5G signal where Verizon had no signal. The only issue is when we go back East after a year of being away I'm not sure what will happen. Currently we have 1 line on Visible for $25 a month and 2 lines on T-mobile 55+ plan for $90 a month, one SIM I just use in my mobile router

[@shelbyhood1053]

Hey there! Thank you so much for putting out this content it was very informative. I had a question myself and I don't know if you guys have done a video on this or not but I was wondering 1) how do you job hunt for remote jobs? 2) how do you know the remote jobs posted are legit companies? 3) if you had any good recommendations on companies to work for? My husband and I are located in Wyoming and we are wanting to do Skoolie life and want to start putting our foot in the door in the right places and not end up regretting it later. Any advice you guys have will really help 🖤 Thank you for your time

[@NinetyOneAdventures]

Yes campground wifi is terrible! I don't think we have found a stable strong connection at one yet.

[@everydayhustler3961]

Love your top Roe..where did you get it? Also what headset are you getting that is noise canceling? Tried blue parrot but I didn’t like it or thought it worked well enough.

[@jpro12008]

Starlink just announced a $25 extra portability fee!

[@wellsonwheels457]

Strong Internet ! That’s my big worry

[@debbie8465]

How did you find your remote job?

[@andrewspies1968]

One word...Starlink

[@FreedoomRock]

I let AT&T go because their signal were so bad almost anywhere since 5G even if my phone indicated 5G 5bars

[@chriscampton9626]

Starlink would be a good option for you guys

[@getfreethenrv815]

good info! I work from home as well and plan to travel while working asap. our plan so far is to have 2 cell phone hot spots and a mobile router with 2 sims. The only thing we will probably still need is an antennae booster. Which one are you using and which would you get if you were to buy new?

[@MisterMikeTexas]

3:21 Just curious, would Flex Seal or Flex Tape serve this maintenance need? The guy on TV is enthusiastic about the Flex products! 😊

[@sierradk]

I’ve used Flexsteel products. I find them very good for water resistant coatings.

[@miguelsandoval8203]

put some seasoning on that thing.

[@davidgutierrez6888]

What kind of work do you do?

[@GamerplayerWT]

I may have missed a previous episode, but I’m curious as to why Ro took a job. I’m guessing it was purely financial (maybe medical insurance)?

[@sophiewinkler7549]

I think they said that she just prefers the routine of working for an employer.

[@kablah777]

David, what do you spray on the awning to keep it from getting cooked?

[@olebloom1641]

Have y'all signed up for Starlink yet? Might be an option even though a bit expensive.
