How to Work Remotely in a Campervan: Tips for Working on the Road

Not all campervans are equal when it comes to working conditions. Look for one with good seating space, power outlets, and flat surfaces. Ideally, find a motorhome with a dining table that doubles as a desk. Imoova have motorhomes and RV's available in Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and Europe so finding one shouldn't be difficult!

Carry a power bank or small inverter to charge laptops and devices while driving. Many travellers add a compact solar panel for longer stays off-grid, but as most Imoova relocations are around a week or so, you shouldn't need this.

Invest in a local SIM with hotspot data or a mobile Wi-Fi router. In rural areas, map out cafes, libraries, or campsites with reliable connections ahead of time. Airalo is a great app for esims, you can choose the right package for you based on your data usage. If you're travelling rural especially in Australia, look at providers such as Telstra & Optus along with their coverage maps. If you're planning to visit the outback it's likely there will be times where you have no signal, never mind internet, so make sure that these days align with your work schedule.

Take advantage of your mobility. If your situation allows, work early mornings or late evenings when campsites are quiet and explore during the day. Balance productivity with adventure.

A tidy van equals a tidy mind. Pack only what you need and store gear efficiently so your “office” can transform back into living space quickly.

Use video calls sparingly if bandwidth is limited. Communicate proactively and let your team know if you’ll be in a no-signal zone.

Remote work from a campervan isn’t about sacrificing efficiency, it’s about upgrading your lifestyle. With Imoova relocations, you can get from one dream workspace to the next for as little as $1 a day. Browse relocations here
