How To Stay Connected And Work Remotely From A Van

If you are someone who loves being immersed in the outdoors, free and simply taking in your surroundings, then maybe remote van working might suit you perfectly! Keep reading to find out more.

So, What Is Van Life Remote Work?

Van life remote work is the idea of full-time living in your van and working remotely. For this, you will need:

  • Solar panels
  • Satellite Internet connection
  • Mobile office set up
  • House batteries
  • Toilet
  • Sink

These are just a few things to consider adding to your van conversion, so that you have inappropriate living and working space. It’s not as glamorous as may think, and it is a real lifestyle that people adopt.

While, unfortunately, it is not a holiday, van life remote work can be the perfect solution for individuals who are digital nomads or are looking to travel and work remotely with ease.

Getting Yourself Remote On The Roads

Getting started with this process requires some planning before you embark on your life of travel and freedom. This brief checklist will help you to iron out some of the things you might need to organise before you get on the roads.

  • Choosing a van – This is vital to make sure you have enough space and comfort for all your living and working facilities.
  • Buying or Renting? – You also want to narrow down whether you are going to buy a van or rent one for a certain amount of time.
  • Test it out – Maybe test out your new van life, before you make any split decisions about your house.
  • Do your research – It’s important that you look into places that you can park and sleep, some sites are free, others are private property. You will need to work out areas where you will be safe.
  • Van insurance – This can be difficult without a permanent residence of the van, but discuss your options with an insurance company and explain your situation.

Work-Life Balance?

When it comes to a work life balance, there are probably a few things to iron out. Having a proper schedule that you can stick to is a good way to maintain a work-life balance. As well as staying healthy while you are on this journey.

"Very happy with our Vanaways transaction! We needed three new vans quickly for our company and Vanaways didn't disappoint. Hannah and Abbie were on hand every step of the way and provided extremely good prices which suited our business. Customer service is a priority for them and it shows with every phone call and email! When I need a few more, they will be my first port of call. Thankyou guys!"

"Great service right from the first contact with Reece, who then passed me onto Ash once initial sale was completed. From making payment delivery was approximately 3 days. Received text from Nathan this morning (16th June) and he was on time with delivery. Really pleased with the service I've received. Many thanks!"

"First class service, I must mention Adrian & Ash on an excellent deal & swift turn around under the short notice I had to buying a new van. Slight delay in the delivery of the van from manufacturers end but Adrian agreed to cover the cost of a hire van until my new van was delivered which allowed me to continue working. its the first time i've purchased a van without physically entering a dealership and i wouldn't hesitate to do it again."
