In this week’s episode, we talk about our vehicles which help us to achieve our work from anywhere lifestyle. We like to have our house on wheels so we can have the option and flexibility to move our office and our home whenever we want.
Episode Highlights:
Our vehicles:
2003 Alfa SeeYa
38-foot diesel pusher Class A Motorhome

Holds 100 gallons of fresh water
2 slide-outs

Great storage!
The downside is basement A/C just can’t keep up.
Although we like living in our RV, we really are tired of traveling in the big beast. We would prefer to drive on roads the RV simply can’t go. Robert looked into purchasing a roof-top tent where we could live out of our car when we traveled. We use our roof-top tent either on our Subaru or Jeep.
1999 Subaru Outback Legacy
When we purchased it 2 years ago, it had 92,000 miles
5-speed, manual transmission
2.5-liter engine
Avg 25 miles to the gallon with all our gear
Jeep 1998 Wrangler Sport
4 liter in-line 6 engine
automatic
hardtop
Average 14 miles to the gallon
Learn why on earth we like older vehicles vs. a brand new car. Also, you may (or may not) be surprised to learn what Robert’s dream vehicle is.
Our Office Set-up
In our Alfa SeeYa, we are able for each of us to have our own workspace. We both hook up our laptops to external monitors so that we can enjoy dual monitors. We have plenty of storage space for any books or gadgets that we like to have on hand.
Now that we do the bulk of our travel either in the Subaru or Jeep, we have learned to downsize our office even further. Most of our work is done online, so the main issue we encounter is making sure we are connected and have power. Robert has installed solar, batteries, and an inverter system so that we can charge our equipment. We use the internet using our hot spot, our phones, or service offered by campgrounds, restaurants, rest areas, or libraries.
As long as you have gas in the tank…you aren’t lost.
