What are some ideas to put an office in an RV?

Tearing out a dinette is the most popular option, but there are SO many floorplans and work flows, so it’s likely that all these solutions will be possible. Many people do this to make their space more homey and accommodating to their lifestyle, so you will need to choose what works best for you!

However, here are some workspace ideas I’ll show you today

Tear out the dinette and replace it with an office setup

This is the most common solution – dinettes are usually pretty easy to remove and are the perfect size for a small office. If you are able to custom build anything, you’ll be able to utilize the space even better.

Many RV manufacturers have noticed the ever increasing amount of campers working on the road, and it seems they’ve responded! I didn’t even know this was a thing until I started researching options myself, but this could save a lot of time, especially if you already know you plan to work from your RV.

What type of chairs and desks work well in an RV office?

Unless you have special medical requirements, or a ton of space, something that is comfy but compact is a great option.

Folding Ergonomic Chair – This one has a fold in back so that it’s easier to stow away when not in use. It’s also a back friendly design!
Stand Up Desk – It saves a ton of space and is healthier for you than sitting around all day (especially after already driving so much!)
2 Tier Desk to Save Space – Go up, not out! I love that this desk is all metal and on wheels (so it’s easy to move). THere’s spots for a printer, keyboard, tower and monitor!
Folding Desk w/Shelf – If you don’t want to leave your workstation set up, a foldable desk is a great desk option for your RV
Flip Down Desk – If you hae some wall space and feel confident with mounting something in your camper, this is an AWESOME option – espeically for in the bedroom (since you can just use the foot of the bed as a seat)
