How I turned my Tiny RV into a Digital Nomad Remote Office! INTERNET, POWER, DESK, AND CHILL!
In this day and age, the concept of working remotely has become increasingly popular. With advancements in technology and the desire for a flexible lifestyle, many individuals are embracing the digital nomad lifestyle. As a digital nomad myself, I wanted to find a way to combine my love for travel with my work. So, I decided to convert my tiny RV into the perfect remote office – equipped with everything I need to work efficiently and comfortably while on the road.
The first challenge I faced was ensuring a reliable internet connection. As a digital nomad, a stable and fast internet connection is essential. Thankfully, there are several options to choose from. To start, I invested in a mobile hotspot device that utilizes SIM cards from various providers. This allows me to have internet access almost anywhere I go. I also researched and signed up for data plans with the best coverage in the areas I planned to visit.
To ensure a continuous power supply, I installed solar panels on the roof of my RV. This renewable energy source not only helps me reduce my carbon footprint but also keeps my devices powered up. I also equipped my RV with a backup generator, just in case the weather conditions are not ideal for solar power.
Creating a comfortable workspace was another priority. In a tiny RV, every square inch counts. I installed a foldable desk that can be easily pulled down when needed and stored away when not in use. This desk provides enough space for my laptop, external monitor, and other work essentials. To make the space feel more inviting, I added a comfortable chair and some small indoor plants for a touch of greenery.
Finally, finding a balance between work and leisure is crucial for my mental well-being. Incorporating a chill-out area in my RV was essential. In the evenings or during breaks, I have a cozy corner with a cushioned seat where I can unwind, read a book, or simply enjoy the scenery outside. This space acts as a reminder to take breaks and enjoy the freedom that comes with this lifestyle.
Being a digital nomad is all about living life on your own terms. By transforming my tiny RV into a remote office, I have the freedom to work from breathtaking locations while embracing a minimalist and sustainable lifestyle. It is truly amazing how a small space can be transformed into a productive and comfortable workspace. This lifestyle has opened my eyes to the endless possibilities and adventures that await as a digital nomad.
So, if you have a passion for travel and want the freedom to work from anywhere, consider converting your own tiny RV into a digital nomad remote office. With a reliable internet connection, a renewable power source, a functional workspace, and a designated area to unwind, you’ll have everything you need to embark on the journey of a lifetime. Embrace the digital nomad lifestyle and discover the world while staying productive and fulfilled!

My parents are the Nomadic Ramblers. They often winter in the Quartzite, AZ area. You may have seen them. They RV full time and went to Alaska with a group of RV besties this summer.
The view from the office is why I’m thinking about one of the small airstreams.
Starlink is very expensive to install and I think it's about $150 a month to use.
Why are you paying for Starlink and At&T? Folks are such money wasters. I've been on the road for 4 years and have only had the cheapest unlimited prepaid Verizon plan and it's been more than enough for me to work fulltime in IT while on the road. I use two apps to find a signal and I've been able to camp in extremely remote places and still work.
You're a smarty! Well done with your nomadic lifestyle!
Happy travels, friend!
You are so awesome!
Robyn, it was so nice to meet you in BV! I wish we could have talked more! I hope you make a stop in MO 🙂

Hi
Good afternoon
I can find your page in Spanish?
You are such an inspiration, love your videos:)
I love the color scheme of your pillows and comforter. I actually stopped this video so that I could stare at it a while. Regarding your electronics, I don't know how you can figure it all out???!! I've never understood technology and I still have a flip phone.
Thanks for the info
Love your modifications ❤
I'm a seascape and portrait artist and I'm wondering ….. Do you have this answer in one of your videos? If I take art orders online I understand how to mail the art to the customer, but how can I get paid? I have PayPal. Is there a certain bank that I can use regularly and find near any town in the USA while traveling? Is it hard to find generic ATMs in a town? I'm not even sure how to ask my question. LOL. Can I get a lot of cash back in a grocery store with my bank card? I've never tried to.
Your information is just priceless and you have the most pleasant voice.
I love your videos. The only thing I miss is that I don't live in the USA. Therefore most of your stuff (internet access) doesn't work here. But I do get ideas from you. I'm planning to get my RV next year. I've specifically chosen one for it's workspace. Mine has a drop-down bed, so that leaves me with workspace (for my craft) in the lounge area. I don't have a dinette as such, which is great (it's the lounge, table, et all). I'm also planning to bring my craft with me in the form of a small storage trailer as I still want to live comfortably within my RV while I'm not crafting. Mine is light, bright and white inside! I'm now figuring out stuff about my computer. I currently have a desktop, which won't work for me, so I have to change it to a slimline or a laptop. The "coffee" table is to be changed to more of a work table (plus eating spot). I'm certainly contemplating changing both sofa's to storage and workspace! I have my mattress sorted, luckily it's a standard queen size. Of course I don't need that size, so the mattress is going to be a king single, with storage (clothes) chill space as well. Push a button and it's up out of the way! INTERNET is going to be my issue. We have rotten service here in Australia. This is my main concern at the moment. I have to go for satellite (probably starlink), and a hotspot for my phone. That router sounds interesting and I will investigate. Your installation seems to be an interesting option. I'm still working on my Power Needs!
I've just subscribed! Thank you!
Just bought your book. Looks promising!!!
How much did the whole power system cost including installation?
Suggestions for a rig for a single person
I have had no problem dropping my deep cycle AGM batteries to 20% as the salesman told me. However I also use a Bluetti power station to run my computer rather than an inverter as one is built into the power station and solar, as well as my truck or shore power will recharge it.
We bought a $150 mattress for the rv….we were in a big hurry…it was an upgrade from the $100 dollar version…..there was a $200 version…each upgrade added thickness……IWe were shocked that these cheap mattresses were even offered or still existed! Who would buy this crap? Well…we would….we thought we were going to be so miserable. We've been through some miserable and expensive mattresses looking for that painless sleep. We made payments on them! We slept on this cheap mattress and it was hard…..omg……we were in for some miserable nights sleeping. We were stunned when it turned out to be the most sleeping night we'd had in forever. We fell asleep….didn't wake till morning…and it would appear that we hadn't moved … woke up in the position I fell asleep in. I'm still blown away…best sleep we've had.
Great video Robin. Looking forward to next week!
Love your hair longer! Makes you look soooo young!
Are there such things as fitted sheets for all these oddball rv matress sizes? $150 a shot? Or all customized? Or is there an RV sheet supplier?
I think I have been watching you for the last 7 years, AT LEAST….Things have changed! Both for you and myself….I moved into a much smaller space in Pensacola, FL, but still a house….my dream, initially was the van…..ultimate tiny home modification for me….BUT my husband had different plans…..I'm truly grateful for him, my husband, because without him, I wouldn't have been moving around, all by myself….He was my jump-start, because I was truly afraid to move in any direction, so he got us going, and I am so grateful….but if I were to ever lose him….I would be back at "square 1", just trying to "be" in some place else….My next space if I would have to go on without him……would be a van….honestly, without him….
It feels like Peanut is the perfect rig for you, Goldilocks. The 5th wheel was too big and cumbersome. The Class B+ , C and truck camper were too small. Your tiny airstream setup seems just right.
Very helpful information. Thank you.
Nice hair !!
Funny Robin, I gave you one month in that tiny RV after you bought it. You are definitely proving me wrong! You are one amazing woman, I envy you. Safe travels! Love seeing The Boy happy too!
I swear you always look so lovely. God Bless you
I recently painted the interior of my RV to lighten it up also, got rid of so much of that dark wood. I tossed the mattress that came with mine and put in a memory foam mattress that's so much better.
Your hair looks so pretty
Thank you, great video ❤
I’ve been on the road for 3 weeks now. The dent in my bed gets bigger every night. It’s crazy!
LOOOOVE YOUR HAIR!!!
I don't want to travel, but have an RV to park for a few weeks at a time between relatives. I want a good job that would go with this dream. I wish the RVs or vans would be more affordable to be able to do this
Love your creativity, way to go!
Same, I run two channels from my minivan that I live it. People say I don't know how you live in something so small but it's feels like home. I don't even have a starlink I just use hotspots and it works for me. Anyway another good one!
LOVE your hair!!! (Unrelated to video, but it must be said!) 🙂
