DIY Steering Wheel Desk for Holding Up a Laptop
I work online, and while that means that I can work from anywhere, it also means that I work when I’m on the road. After realizing that there were times when I preferred to stay in my SUV rather than make the trek to a coffee shop or library, I set about making it easier and more comfortable to work from my laptop when in my SUV. The result? The steering wheel desk that I show in the video below:

Using a Laptop vs. Using a Tablet on Trips
In my day-to-day life, I use my laptop pretty much all day, every day for work, entertainment, and communication purposes, but I’ve found that it was less than ideal for using on the road. It’s getting longer in the tooth these days, and its battery isn’t what it used to be. On my extended SUV RVing trips, I had to be very selective about what I chose to do once I powered it on, and I had to start up the SUV whenever I wanted to charge the laptop back up. On top of that, it was too big and bulky to use it to watch a movie before bed. Laptops are machines that excel at being used on a desk or on a comfy couch, not in the confines of an SUV.

A Guide to Jackson, Wyoming, for SUV RVers and Vandwellers
I spent about two weeks last month in Jackson, Wyoming, gateway to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. It was my first visit to the area, and I really loved it. Jackson is an expensive place if you’re staying in a hotel or trying to buy real estate, but staying in your SUV or van is a great way to see all the area has to offer and not have to shell out too much money.
