Hello nsteckler,

This is a really great question but also a very complex one as it would depend on many variables. Depending on if you are incorporated or not and also depending on if the corporation owns the camper, you may have some wiggle room for taxable benefits. 

That being said there are a lot of variables to look into to see exactly what you can do for your upcoming tax season. I would recommend connecting with your CPA to look at all your unique and specific variables to really target what your business is capable of claiming etc.

In the meantime, here is a link to the CRA website that discusses:

Board, lodging, and transportation at remote work locations

I hope this helps! I hope you have a great rest of the day!

Kindest Regards,
