We've now got two months behind our belt living and working remotely full-time on the road, having sold our Seattle home in July and hit the road since. After a bit of a hiccup with our tow vehicle breaking down the same week we were closing on our home (yep!), we've been mostly problem free for 1,700 miles of towing across numerous mountain passes and at times rugged terrain. The biggest problems we've had have been with our full Victron system which was unfortunately not correctly installed and programmed, so we've had to spend a lot of time to troubleshoot and resolve that.
Working remotely is an interesting experience, and while my interactions are mostly with folks in various parts of the country, not physically being with my team takes some adjustment, and Skype calls don't fully make up for face-time. Internet access has been very reliable with my Cradlepoint IBR900 router w/ 5-wire Panorama antenna, with the only time without signal was when we were staying in the National Forests above Aspen, CO.
We're currently camped around Crested Butte, CO. Attached is a picture of us after getting dirty crossing Kebler Pass on a particularly rainy and muddy day.

Our equipment:
- 2017 Range Rover Sport Supercharged (5.0L Supercharged V8)

P.S. PLEASE, let's not make this a thread about tow vehicle preference. There are many existing threads, and other parts of the forums, to hold those discussions in.
