Earlier this year we returned to our boondocking roots for a month in the deserts of Arizona in our bus. It was oh so wonderful to be out in nature, on our own and feeling abundant in the systems we had long ago setup on Zephyr. From water management, tanks, solar and lithium – in […]
Three Months Still – How We’re Mixing It Up To Keep Sane
When we pulled into Sanford back in late March, we knew we were here for the long haul. Even if the pandemic was appropriately flattened, we figured that would place us smack dab in the middle of hurricane season. Sanford, being pretty well inland in Florida is a pretty safe spot to be for the […]
What Killed Our RV Lithium Batteries? 8.5 Years of LiFePo4
In what seems like another world now, last December we replaced our dead lithium batteries in our vintage bus, Zephyr. We originally installed our GBS lithium cells back in August 2011 – and as far as we can tell, we were amongst the first motorhomes to have a lithium house battery system, and we were […]
The 12 RVs of Technomadia – Class A, B, C and Towables, Which is Better?
Earlier this month we recognized both my 13th ‘Nomadiversary’ and one year since we added our Winnebago Travato camper van to our nomadic fleet. As we were reminiscing about our years on the road, we counted up the number of RVs we’ve traveled or lived in. We couldn’t believe it when we came up with […]
Boat vs RV: Which Costs More?
Ever since we purchased our motor yacht to start exploring the Great Loop after over a decade of full time RVing – we’ve been asked the question “which costs more?” multiple times. Now that we’ve had our boat for three years (3 years?!?!), we have enough numbers to do a proper comparison of the typical […]
Marooned in Sanford – One Month Down…
Hard to believe it’s been a month since we arrived to Sanford aboard our boat. It feels like both a year ago, and a day ago. How weird time flows these days. I know we’re not alone in that feeling as each day seems like a repeat of the last. Earlier this week we were […]
Mobile Internet Updates – Our Personal Setup, New Video Course & Coverage? App Updates
As most of our readers might be aware, Technomadia is our personal blog where we share the travel side of our technomadic lifestyle – and many years ago we branched off our mobile internet & connectivity content to reside over at the Mobile Internet Resource Center instead of here. Keeping on top of this Resource Center […]
Sheltering in Place as a Nomad During COVID-19 (And a Heads-Up to Those in the Desert!)
Stay at home. Shelter in Place. Self-Isolate. Quarantine. Essential Services Only. Don’t travel! All phrases new to most of us. And for nomads, it’s been a confusing logistical landscape. Why We Can’t Travel as Nomads Full time nomads (RVers and boaters) travel in their homes. And many of us are old-pros at self-isolating. Put us […]
Evolving COVID Plans – Return to Sanford, FL
In our last update, we shared we were back to cruising after getting our boat out of storage in Savannah and heading to our home state of Florida. We didn’t have plans beyond that, except perhaps anchoring out long term in social isolation. Quick Video Update Version: On our way, marina shuts downs and possible […]
Back to Boat Life – Our COVID-19 Isolation Cruising Plans & Resources for Fellow Nomads
What a crazy world we live in these days, and it’s changing faster than any of us can keep up. And while I wished we would wake up to discover we’ve all been tuned into the latest Netflix binge-worthy apocalypse series – it doesn’t seem that’s the case. We’ve been actively tracking COVID-19 since reports […]
