There is really only one "spot" in an Oliver. How do you add an "ergonomic chair" in the aisle?

It is quite possible to work remotely, though, in an Oliver. Technomadia did it several years. Maybe add a link to their website?? They are the absolute gurus of mobile connectivity and working from a camper or boat.

This reads okay to me.  Clearly isn’t Oliver specific just covers generic remote working.  Might help someone new to RV life but doesn’t offer much for an experienced RVer.  Mike

That's correct, this is not Oliver specific, I do make some Oliver specific posts but the majority will not be about the Oliver but RV in general. The ergonomic chair could be anywhere, as seen in the main header photo, he is outside working.

The Oliver specific posts will go under the "About Ollie" category and they will be far less than that of the general blog posts that people do search for. Not many searches on "working remotely from an Oliver". But there are a whole lot more searches on "working remotely from an rv" so I need to go with how google wants these posts to be done for people to find out about the Oliver brand. The ergonomic chair keyword is what is called a "keyword cluster" it's a group of keywords that surround a specific topic that is used to support the SEO and google likes this very much. Helps in ranking.

So, is the point only to raise Google profile, and not to draw people into the Oliver website and/or forum?

I would say, the few articles that I have skimmed so far are more relatable than some of the past choices, and more likely to draw some folks onto the fold.

Several goals, 1. Create fresh content that is relatable to users pertaining to travel, camping, etc, and aimed mostly at newcomers. 2. Content with searchable keywords that help users find Oliver, which is brand awareness. Also creating content that is helpful, entertaining like the "places to visit", there are many reasons to write and not all just for google profile, I would rank users experience first, and google last. As for posting to the forums, it's for whoever enjoys reading them. 

Appreciate y'all taking a look, I think these blogs are really good also.
