We both work full time and need to find high speed internet on the road. Emily works for Trupanion Pet Insurance and Joe runs The Get Better Project Online At-Home (or van) Fitness Program.
We also use our phones/iPads as internet hot spots, but are limited to 45 GB’s a month (between all three). With Joe’s heavy video upload needs it’s a must that we find fast WiFi at least 1 day a week.
If you’re building an RV or van working setup… you should checkout our Working from the Road post.
As of right now this is a fairly limited list because we didn’t have the foresight to keep track of this from the beginning of our van life journey.
