Describe the work you must support
List working hours, calls, file transfers, privacy needs and equipment. Include other occupants’ routines and whether two people need to work simultaneously. Work that is flexible and mostly offline asks different things from a fixed schedule of video meetings.
Plan connectivity and a fallback
Test the connection at the actual working spot with the tasks your job needs: a video call, a typical upload and access to required services. Try it during your expected working hours where possible; a signal indicator or quick email test does not demonstrate reliable calls. Prepare an alternative, such as a separately tested connection or a suitable workspace you can reach. Check its opening times and practical availability before a deadline depends on it. Coverage claims and past reviews are useful leads, not guarantees.
Check power and physical workspace
Check charging demand and total power alongside ergonomics, glare and temperature. Try the actual seat and desk for a full session. A comfortable lunch table may not support a working posture all day, particularly when someone else needs the same space.
Confirm organisational and location requirements
Confirm employer or client requirements, data security and any location restrictions. Overseas work can raise permissions, tax or employment questions distinct from holiday entry. Get appropriate current advice before relying on a general travel rule.
Run a normal working-day trial
Run a normal day with calls, deadlines and chores, not only a quiet hour of email. Test the fallback too. Use what you learn to choose travel days and stops around work rather than hoping the schedule adapts itself.
Questions you might still have
Is advertised mobile coverage enough for dependable video calls?
No. Actual performance can vary with location, demand and conditions. Test the tasks you need and retain an alternative.
Can a campsite connection be my only backup?
Only if it genuinely meets your requirements and you can accept its limitations. For essential tasks, plan an independent alternative.
How do two people work in a small RV?
Test simultaneous calls, privacy, desk space, charging and breaks. The available floorplan may not support both people’s work at once.
Does permission to holiday abroad also permit working there?
Not necessarily. Work permission and organisational requirements are separate from holiday entry. Check the actual destination and circumstances.
