As we approach our 16th year on the road, it seems we have built a nomadic fleet. And we’ve received a lot of questions on how it’s working out to manage a boat, a van and a bus. The quick answer – far better than we ever imagined. Before we left Zephyr behind in Arizona […]
Life on the Road
Happy 5th Birthday, Y-Not! Boat Project Updates – Flooring, Composting Toilet & More
This week marks five years since we took ownership of Y-Not, our 1999 Bayliner 4788. Crazy how time flies! And what an incredible journey into the cruising lifestyle it has been! It’s been a few years since we’ve done a major update on boat improvements, projects and modifications we’ve done – so we thought this […]
Back to the Boat in Sanford, Wrapping up 6+ Months of Van Travel
We have arrived back to Sanford to Y-Not, and are getting settled back into boat life.. and boat projects! So before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let’s do a little re-cap of our last month of our extended van meandering. First, the video version: Xscapers New Years Eve & Bash We ended out […]
Quick RV Interior Tour of Zephyr, our 1961 GM 4106 Vintage Bus
Before we left Benson, we filmed a quick video tour of the interior of Zephyr since it’s been so long since we’ve shared much about our vintage bus conversion. So, here it is: If you’d prefer a photo walk-thru or want more information on the various projects we’ve done over the years, head on over […]
Exploring Around Benson, Arizona – Tombstone, Bisbee, Kartchner Caverns
We picked Benson, Arizona as our RV winter home base for many reasons – not the least of which is how much we love SKP Saguaro Co-Op RV Park. It’s a great place to leave Zephyr behind and rejoin up for winter adventures. Benson itself offers all of the basic amenities you might need in […]
Re-Covering our Flexsteel Motorhome Captain’s Seats in the Bus – Haloleather Fail
Now that we’re back to Zephyr at our winter home base in Benson, AZ – it was time to tackle a pretty major pending project we had left from our last visit. When got Zephyr out of storage in 2019, we were disappointed to discover that the our two front Flexsteel captains chairs were peeling. […]
From New York to Arizona – A Condensed Travelogue Across Country
Lots of miles and lots of memories to catch you up on. But first, we’ve actually been back in Benson, AZ and the bus just over a month now. And before time gets away from us, I wanted to at least recap the trip getting here. Our last extensive travelogue left us just leaving New […]
Our Favorite RVing Accessories for our Travato GL Camper Van
We have now owned our 2020.5 Winnebago Travato GL almost a year, and we had a 2016 version of the model before that starting in 2019. In our years of traveling in our van for both short and extended trips (including the 3 months cross country trip we just competed), we’ve collected a bunch of […]
Boat Upgrade: Inflatable Hot Tub on a Bayliner 4788
Before we bought our boat Y-Not in 2017, we of course deeply researched the Bayliner 4788 model. And we were very intrigued when we found posts from a few owners who had added hot tubs to the flybridge successfully. We love getting in hot water – would we be able to someday add a hot […]
A Very Social Time RVing in New England
Let’s see.. where were we? Oh right, we just spent a couple days exploring the Big Apple, parked right downtown. And now it’s time to head into New England for some pre-planned meetups with family and friends. As usual, here’s the quick video recap of this segment of our summer van travels: Harvest Hosting It […]
