How Our VP Of Sales And Marketing Took His Job On The Road Tuesday Sep 13, 2022

Working from home has become an increasingly popular way of life due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Robyn A. Friedman of the Wall Street Journal, decided to interview some full-time RVers who were able to take their lives and jobs on the road thanks to remote working. One of the couples featured was Advance Relocation Systems' very own Vice President of Sales and Marketing, David Hillemann, and his wife, Denise. 

 

According to the RV Industry Association (RVIA), a trade group, about 400,000 RV owners live full time in their rigs. A May 2022 survey conducted by the RVIA found that 54% of RVers had worked remotely while traveling during the eight months prior to the survey. David and Denise live and work full time from their American Eagle 45C from American Coach. The 45-foot RV has a king-size bedroom, a washer and dryer, a spacious kitchen with a full-size refrigerator and quartz countertops, 1.5 bathrooms and four televisions. 

 

The Hillemanns’ office equipment includes laptops, tablets, a printer, a filing cabinet, a mobile hotspot and a cell booster. 

 

“We’re always connected,” David said. “If it’s a drive day for me, my wife is checking my email while we’re going down the road. I probably send and receive 200 to 300 emails a day, so I tell her how to respond.”

 

David and Denise have been full-time RVers for 14 years. They spend five months a year in Arizona, where they own a lot with a casita at The Palms RV Resort, a 60-acre community in Yuma for active adults. The rest of the year, they alternate northeast and northwest routes.
