Work from our RIG in Sweden, can you work from anywhere?
Working from home these days has become normal. There are many benefits, but it can also make your world feel small.
Having our completely geared Land Rover ready, we thought:
Could we work from our RIG in the middle of nowhere?
Our experience wasn't exactly like we had in mind.
We would like to thank our partners in making this video:

Also big thanks to @cortazu for providing us with the best outdoor jackets. We are excited to let you know you can get a 15% discount with our code:

Hello everyone! Really excited to share our latest adventure. It was a bit different: we wanted to see if we could work from our RIG. It was not what we had in mind... 😁 Lewie liked it thought!
It looks like the perfect social media story, working while travelling in your camper. But in real life it's maybe nice for a few days but after those days you miss comfort, space and regularity. Just make a choice, travel in a camper or work at home. And you will enjoy both more.

There must be a vast open space for the starlink to catch signal. Since there are surrounding trees (even if not covering the Starlink 90 degrees), it obstructed the signal. Nonetheless, it is rewarding to work from anywhere. You gave me an idea. Thanks for sharing your work adventure.

Yes we were really struggling with this but maybe we did something wrongs there were also a lot of clouds maybe this also interferes.
To bad you guys had such bad luck with finding a good signal, but never the less, it looked like you had a nice time in sweden! Realy looks lovely out there!

Hope you still enjoyed the trip here to the area, looks like you where somewhere close to where I live in Växjö :-) plenty of forests and lakes here and not so many people... you will get phone reception in most places even in the forests but of course some places are not that good cover due to less population. Really like your videos! I go to south of Spain every year and plan to do a trip to Morocco in close future so found your channel that way :-)

Great shots and storytelling!!! the starlink is the same for us, we have to find places where there is open sky and no tress. but its tough at times because we looooove forests. But we wouldn't change our lifestyle for anything, love to be able to work from the road!

Glad we are not the only one! Good to hear you work from the road, should be awesome if you do it for a longer time!
Probably would be easier and maybe also cheaper, using the mobile network. I know there are no roaming charges in Europe anymore, might be some data limitation, but then a local SIM would work fine. Less stressful.

lol that firepit is intended to be setup slightly different ;) the holes of the sheet go to the end of the pipe, the metal clips are then squeezed, and pointed trough the hole into the end of the pipe. This creates a almost flat mesh bed to make the fire on :)

@@lewieandtherover when I was traveling with my camper the First Time. I worked as a conusultant and had a lot of Zoom Calls. At the First Weeks it was very exciting to Work from the Beach and other besutiful Spots. But than I had a few realizations i want to Share with you: 1) When it was hot ☀️ without aircondition in the car its very tough to Work 8 Hours on a regular Job day. 2) A camper itself is Build to Slow down. No fast Coffe. No fast teethbrush. No fast shower. Its the opposit of our regular Home. So its very inefficient. Thats why we Like Camping, Right? So working and Camping is for my not the Right Things that belong together. And i felt that After a view Weeks more and more. 3) The circumstances of These beatiful Place are inviting you to Enjoy the Time. But working needs Focus. Again, its the opposit of that what the Place/nature wants from you in This Situation. 4) my Whole Energy was different, it was Not like at the Office. Where the Place was to be productive, efficient, and so on. AlSo the Work Quality was not as good as at the Office . So Iam come to the conclusion that there is for every Things the Right Spot to be in Harmonie with the Environment and my feelings. I only Work in a Office. Even not at Home. My Home is my Home for living. Not working. When ism Travelling. Iam traveling without Laptop and working stuff. I would Even work harder and more to go on a longer Journey without working stuff in my Bag. Thanks for Reading my Message :) and have a wonderful Journey. When you are in Germany (Stuttgart) Lets have a coffe together
keep up the good work amazing video

Did you check the 3/4G connection in the area you had issues to connect the Star-link ? Mobile coverage is normally good in Sweden even outside the cities. We normally use the Mobile system to connect and sometimes work while on the road.

Hebben jullie daar eventueel coördinaten van ? Ik zat ook te denken aan Starlink, maar op de website geven ze aan dat de dekking niet echt goed is in Zweden....

Curious whether ' remote working' while travelling to a country where a person does not have a work visa ( yes I realise people do it every day) is a violation of that countries laws. And exposes a person to consequences.

You have the right to be traveling for work, business man have worked from all around the world since ages. But the bare minimum is that you should spend 6 months + 1 day in the country where you pay your taxes.... Then if you are an employee you need to check your contract, often remote working is only permitted from the declared home... but that really something that can be negotiated between employer and employee. Then finally there is the insurance from your work for any accident while you work that may be restrictive on how much abroad you can be and where.
