Find a Virtual Job

First and foremost, of course, to be able to travel, you need to find a job that can travel with you. Thankfully, in today's day and age, remote jobs are much more prevalent than in years past. Whether you work in channel sales, run your own business, or do online tutoring, there are many viable options for all kinds of jobs and all backgrounds of experience. Ask around with people you know, as well. It's amazing how many opportunities pop up when you just put yourself out there.

Don't Skimp on Your Set-up

Ok, you've found your virtual job. The next step is making sure that, when you're traveling, the ability to get your work done is consistent. You need to have the right gear and an easy-to-set-up work area. Figure out how often you need to work, at what times, and on what days. Are you working the same hours straight every day? Then you'll most likely need a set-up in your RV that is quiet and comfortable. Are you only working a couple of days a week, here and there? Maybe you can do all your work at any coffee shop you come across. What type of computer does your job require? Maybe your computer needs a high-quality camera or good processing speed. All these things are easy to answer but must be thought about and addressed before hitting the road; otherwise, you'll soon be in trouble.

Make Sure You Have Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is an absolute necessity when it comes to working remotely in your RV. Pretty much every virtual job needs a good Wi-Fi connection to be executed efficiently. Without it, you could find yourself up a creek without a paddle. So, depending on your work schedule, plan your travels around when you need internet access. If you are up in the Smoky Mountains with no connection, make sure it's not on a day when you have an important meeting. There are also many Wi-Fi Extenders on the market that can extend or improve a wireless signal, just in case.

Remember Deadlines

Traveling can be exciting and thrilling, but it can also be chaotic. It's easy to get swept up in the adventure, but don't forget that your ability to do so depends on having some income. So, make sure to make a note of any important work deadlines coming up, or that may require extra time to complete. Make sure you're in a noise-free area if you need to concentrate and that you are somewhere where the chances of losing your internet connection are at a minimum.

Getting everything in order to be able to work on the go in your RV can seem daunting at first. You may feel apprehensive, and there may be a bit of a learning curve. Once you're over those first jitters and things start coming together, it is well worth it.
