If you’re like us and many of our customers, you’ve had to make a lot of changes to your life recently. As the country has shut down to protect everyone from illness, many workers have had to switch to working remotely. But remote working is hardly new. Many people already take their work on the road. Whether it’s for convenience or by necessity, certain occupations can lend themselves well to a mobile office, so if you’re already on the road, why not do it in an Airstream® trailer?
We’ve got the top tips for transforming your Airstream RV into a mobile office and how to still get work done efficiently. Check them out and then contact Airstream of Vermont at Pete’s RV Center for more information about the RVs we have for sale right now. You’ll find us in South Burlington, Vermont, serving Worcester, Massachusetts; Manchester, New Hampshire; and the entire New England area.
Workspace Features to Look for When Buying an Airstream Trailer
If you’re still looking for an Airstream, use this time as an opportunity to think about specific features that’ll help with your work. Some of these items can be added or adjusted later, but it’s probably easier to get everything squared away now.
1. Privacy
This will be especially important if you’re not traveling alone. Think about the logistics of where you’ll be working and whether that area needs to be cordoned off so you can work without other people passing by and interrupting.
2. Lighting
Some people prefer different types of lighting and different amounts of light. When you decide where you’ll be working, think about how much–or how little–you’ll want that area lit and what types of bulbs will be most advantageous to you.
3. Noise
This goes hand-in-hand with privacy. Some workers may not mind a little noise and sometimes it can even come with the job. But if you need quiet to work, you may want to ask about how you can soundproof parts of your Airstream camper or all of it, or at least look for ways to reduce noise pollution around your workspace.
4. Will You Need a Desk?
If your job calls for a flat surface, like a desk, you’ll need to envision that desk somewhere in the RV. You can look for features that already make for a great desk, like the dinette or even the picnic table at the campsite.
You can also plan to add the desk after your purchase, by installing one somewhere where there’s a little bit of space. If you go this route, you’ll need to find an option that provides you with enough workspace without taking up an excessive amount of room inside the camper. A folding desk might even make for a great compromise to this problem.
Have a Plan for When You’re on the Move
If you choose to change locations at any point, whether it’s for work or just for a change of scenery, you’ll need a plan for securing your work. You don’t want any valuables or notes flying around the RV as you’re in transit. This could mean storing your laptop in a laptop bag and moving monitors to a location where they won’t slide around or fall over (don’t forget about furniture either).
Even if you aren’t currently working in a mobile office, maybe it’s time to start thinking about your options. You might find you can work from anywhere in the U.S. or that you can find a job that allows you to travel. It may seem too good to be true, but these kinds of opportunities are out there, so make sure you’ve got the Airstream RV to get you there! Contact Airstream of Vermont at Pete’s RV Center about how you can find the perfect trailer to fit your needs. We welcome all those from across the New England area, including South Burlington, Vermont; Worcester, Massachusetts; and Manchester, New Hampshire.
