Your process:
1. If you need internet access 9 to 5 M/F when will you travel? Will you be sitting in your RV every day pounding a keyboard? Why travel?
Excellent point, and that has occurred to me. That's why I wanted to do a real trial run, not just a week vacation.

2. Just about everyone (including me) suggests renting an RV for a week as the first step. Why are you so opposed to that? You may find that there is some aspect of RVing that is a dealbreaker and a weeks rental is a small investment to find that out. A week of living in an actual RV at actual campsites is a far better test of your compatibility with RVing than living in a confined space in your home. Plus, if you decide that this is a route that you want to follow, you will know a lot more about what you need to have in an RV.
I have no problem renting for a week, I just wanted a longer test run. I've already done 7-10 days in RVs and it was fine....but what is livable for a week can become unbearable after a month or two. At any rate, I'm not going to do this, but got lots of other good ideas on this thread.
