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.

"We have used Vanaways on two occasions now and the customer service has always been great. I contacted them as our team grew and withing 2 weeks we had the vans in our yard. Quick and efficient service all round. Tyler in the delivery department kept me up to date throughout the process. Would certainly recommend."

"Vanaways is really great, from contacting them up to the delivery can't be smoother than it was. These guys are professionals and I believe the best in the industry. Thanks to Philip Jones, Ross Davies, Jihad Khan and one or two individuals I had contact with throughout the process. I recommend Vanaways and will use them again."

"Staff here are so courteous & helpful, genuine in how they talk rather than that dreaded ‘business speak’. Reception and offices are modern & relaxing to be in, very cool music in background too! Some place just give you the basics - but I found Vanaways completely charming throughout, really appreciated thank you."
