After so many lessons on the road over the years, I’d say 2019 was a year of tremendous balance. It wasn’t without obstacles. But we navigated them without overwhelm thanks to the skillsets we had built already. We focused on the important things. We evacuated, again, for another major hurricane – but it thankfully turned […]
Van Life (May 2019 - present)
New Internet Video, Blog Comments Are Back & General Updates
Last month, our host of this site since we started it way back in 2007 – DreamHost – moved us from our legacy server to a new one. The website went completely down in the process, but thankfully they were able to restore the content and most of the formatting. However, for reasons unexplained – […]
A Nomadic Fleet: Vintage Bus, Camper Van and Boat
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Urban RVing in New York City – Liberty Harbor RV Park
Thus far on this van trip we have explored northern Florida and Georgia, a couple weeks along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and then re-entered civilization in Virginia to continue east. After our stop in Philadelphia, Chris was diligently trying to route us around the traffic in the New York City area, when I questioned why? We […]
Continuing the Van Trip: Shenandoah National Park, Biking the C&O Canal and Philadephia

So let’s pick up where we left off, which was literally heading across the street and entering the Skyline Drive, part of Shenandoah National Park and then heading east. First, the video version: Shenandoah National Park Once you exit the […]
