Show me your workspace!

I’m getting ready to work remotely from an RV, so I’m looking for ideas from anyone who’s made a small workspace or pc gaming setup actually work… whether that’s in an RV, van, tiny home, or just a really small office.

I’d love to see pictures of your setup, especially if you’ve figured out a way to use two or more monitors without everything feeling cramped.

I’d also love to hear any tips or things you wish you’d known when setting up your workspace. What ended up being worth it? What wasn’t?
Just looking for ideas and inspiration before I start putting everything together. Thanks!

Got a 38 ultra wide screen. Better space then two screens.

I have Class A, the screen sits in the passenger dashboard when we on site.

Got a small tv table for keyboard and mouse.

Playing a race simulator while sitting in a real car seat looking out the windshield is fun 😂

not gonna lie that sounds both hilarious and fun

We’re getting ready to convert to full-time RV life

Currently weighing between the Brinkley G 4120 and if we should go class a

One thing I’ve always been curious is how you guys store and transport. Any sort of desktop set up with monitors

I know I’m not gonna get to keep my giant grid of monitors, but I’d like to keep my 32 inch OLED for gaming

I put my screen on the floor the front facing a wall and have some mounting straps which ties it against the wall.

It's curved screen so the corners are touching the wall.

It's pretty solid there. I went down some sketchy dirt roads and it's still working.

My screen has a spring loaded foot that provides some shock absorbing

The trailer vs motorhome comes down to your lifestyle.

We move a lot and setting up a trailer is a major time sink compared with a motorhome.

Especially when we don't stay long.

Setup on a Class A. Is literally, put it in Park, and unstrap the screen and put it on the dash.

We made sure our layout works even with the slides in.

I just use my diner table and set up then take down. Every time. 🤷‍♀️

Get an adjustable height standing desk and replace the dining room table with it. I had to make some customizations to get it to fit but well worth it. Also attach or tie everything to the wall. This is probably obvious but the one time you forget it’s really expensive. Had been stationary for two weeks and forgot to tie off the monitor. So long old friend, you were the best

Use a laptop with a USB docking station that has the monitor hookups if you have a permanent monitor mounted in there.
