How to Turn Your Camper or RV Into a Mobile Office

Residents of the San Jose Mobile Home & RV Park allege that owner Monte Christo Communities is retaliating against them for organizing a residents' association, pressuring them to sign new leases and issuing citations for minor violations. Maria Munoz, founder of the association, says she received multiple seven-day notices, including one for feeding stray kittens, after refusing to sign a new lease. Owner Brock Kaveny denies tracking association members, stating notices are issued to ensure rule compliance. Residents also claim the company pushes long-term leases with annual rent increases of 5.5% to 7%, which they say circumvents the city's rent control policy.

At the State Fair of West Virginia in Fairlea, camping on the fairgrounds has become a tradition for many attendees and vendors. James Scyphers said his family has been attending for over 60 years. Vendor Stephanie Stiffler noted that staying on-site is convenient due to long work hours. Fair CEO Kelly Collins also camps, using the time for relaxation and to assess improvements.

In July 2023, during the RAGBRAI bike ride in Iowa, Carrie and Brian Smith rented a motorhome that was in poor condition. This prompted them to start Suite Glamping Adventures, a motorhome rental company. They bought seven new Class C motorhomes for $782,000, with a down payment of $127,000. By 2025, the fleet had grown to nine vehicles. The first year was roughly break-even, but the couple aims for annual revenue of $150,000–175,000 through tax deductions and depreciation.

An American couple who retired at 48 has been traveling in a motorhome for over 20 years. In 1999, they rented out their Palo Alto home and left for Mexico for six months, but the trip became a permanent lifestyle.

A 1963 Silver Streak Sabre travel trailer, comprehensively refurbished inside, is now for sale in Huntington Beach, California. The interior was stripped and repainted, cabinetry received new veneers, and electrical systems were modernized.

A GMC Sierra EV driver completed a 1,000-mile towing trip from Orange County, California, to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks with a 30-foot Grand Design Imagine travel trailer. Efficiency averaged about 0.8 miles per kWh, dropping to 0.7 on the hardest leg. At a Tesla station in Jean, Nevada, only 2 of 100 stalls were pull-through, limiting no-disconnect charging. The driver also used 50-amp campground receptacles for overnight charging, adding roughly 13 miles of range per hour, but Zion River Resort prohibited EV charging, forcing a 25-mile drive to the nearest compatible Tesla charger.
