I am a full-time RV’er who is retired and do not work, nonetheless, I created a “work-space” in the far rear corner of my 5th wheel. I primarily play video games but also work my budget, camping route, etc. and do other things at this space.
I removed 2-over-stuffed chairs that came with the 5th wheel; sold them on Craigslist, and built a small desk on one side where a chair used to be and put a smaller antigravity massage chair with optional heat on the other side at the rear of the trailer.
At my “workstation” I have a full-size printer/fax/scanner machine which is fastened to the desk, and the desk is fastened to the RV wall. The monitor locks into place when I am towing the trailer, and I have a desktop computer attached to the monitor.
I use my laptop computer when I want to do something outside or can not get an internet signal on the desktop; sometimes I will take the laptop to the nearest local library and use their wifi signal. I’ve had this setup almost 2-years and it has worked well for me.
P.S. I also have a small lightweight 2-drawer file cabinet next to the desk. Just thought I'd share this as an example of how one might setup a work-station in their RV.
