"Working from the road"
Home is where you park it with The Brinkley Z3400
If you've read other pages, you'll remember that our last RV - the Arctic Fox - was an amazing camper which we've said was ALMOST perfect.
With both of us now transitioned to work from home positions, and traveling almost 50% of the year, Foxy just did not fit our active travel schedule while both working full time jobs. We needed a new RV that wasn't just bigger, but had the floorplan that would allow us to set up our office while not having that office space overrun the trailer.
We agreed that to justify our 5th RV, a nonnegotiable would be at least 2 independent working spaces that did not interfere with our camping & living space.
Brinkley RV was a new manufacturer and we quickly discovered that most, if not all of their floorplans had the full time worker in mind.
Tina's office
The bedroom wardrobe in most Brinkley RVs was designed with a sliding top and a drop in desk insert. This option allows the bedroom to convert easily to Tinas office. Upstairs, with a door to block noise, and dedicated AC, she has a perfect office space that remains completely out of the way during non-work hours.
A big "AH HA" moment for the RV office came when I discovered the curved 34" gaming display. With the 34" curved monitor we are able to maximize space - both on the desk and on the screen with the monitor able to be a single massive screen, or 2 split screens running 2 50% windows or 66%/33%. The laptop monitor completes a true 3 monitor layout we have at home while absolutely minimizing the equipment footprint.

The Brinkley Dinesk in the Z3400
The Brinkley "dinesk" - a convertible dining table & desk is the foundation of my office. This space gives me all the room I need for the same "3" monitor set up used in Tinas office by utilizing the aspect ratio on a 34' curved gaming monitor.
With the rear patio door to my immediate left, I can escape the office for a smoke break on the patio or just go stretch my legs.
When it's time for dinner or a card game, the table rolls out in literal seconds for the perfect work - play balance.
(Pay no mind to the case of vodka next to my chair - it's a demanding job after all)
