Just to moderate the dream slightly, if you're moving around at a solid pace and/or driving enough that you get actual work done, the fuel costs add up. I've had trips in RV/bus-scale vehicles have portions that work out at $100-250/day in gas. So, ideally you want an electric vehicle.
And to be honest, the actual driving is often a predictable and easy part of the equation. Finding camping/accommodation options near national parks, and then dealing with the hordes is a hassle that remains. If you can work on the road, in theory you're less rushed.
Travel with a partner and then at least one of you can work while the other drives.
- fastball 3y agoYes, definitely want the RV to be electric. Plus would cover the roof in solar to get a bit of extra charge.
- prawn 3y agoI don't think the rooftop solar makes a dent in the vehicle's power needs, but maybe that changes with time. I've driven a lot of the US, a lot of national parks, and the driving is the trivial bit. Everything else is a pain, IMO!
- fastball 3y agoThe solar is less for the driving and more for the daily usage, so that if I'm parked somewhere in the middle of nowhere I don't need to be plugged in.
- Mashimo 3y agoIf it drives while you work, it can drive slow and save some power. Even if the range is just .. 20 - 40km. You have a new place every day :D
