It’s now been 16 months since we purchased our van Coopernicus – a 2016 Winnebago Travato G. Over that timeframe, the van has been our daily driver, our get-away adventure vehicle, our shuttle craft and our hurricane escape pod. We’ve taken Cooper on a long extended cross country trip (all the way to Arizona!), and on […]
Van Life (May 2019 - present)
Nomads on Pause: Our Longest Stay Yet!
Five months ago we arrived back to Sanford, Florida – a favorite stop in our prior travels that felt most like home to us. Effectively putting nomadic life on pause as we wait out the pandemic and the craziness of the world. This now marks our longest stay in one place since we hit the […]
RVing and Cruising During Hurricane Season
So here we are again, in the southeast on the precipice of peak hurricane season. Despite hopes and wishes, not only did the season not get rescheduled due to COVID – it seems like the months ahead are shaping up to be a doozy with nearly double the number of predicted storms. At this point, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Traveling with a Bus & Van: Convoying Two RVs
One of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten since we traded in our MINI Cooper for a Class-B Winnebago Travato van conversion was – do we flat tow the van behind our motorhome? And nope, the Dodge ProMaster chassis is not flat towable. And our bus conversion really isn’t meant for towing much of anything […]
Xscapers Annual Bash 2020 & New Years Eve Blowout – What a Way to Start the Decade!
Have you ever had a vision and then came back 4 years later and realized – you totally found the exact right people to share that vision with? I’m not sure I’m ever going to be able to adequately convey just what the past 3 weeks has meant to us as we have re-immersed ourselves […]
Lessons Learned After Long Term RV Storage – Getting Zephyr Back on the Road
We stored our RV for nearly 1.5 years, and learned a lot. In early 2018 we drove our bus to Texas to attend & speak at the RV Entrepreneur Summit. We had tried and tried to get a spot at the co-op park in Benson by then so we could then just proceed to Arizona […]
We Have Arrived to Benson to our Lot at SKP Saguaro (And a ‘Please Don’t Drop By Unannounced’ Reminder)
We have arrived to our winter basecamp in Benson, AZ – to the lot we are leaseholders at in the SKP Saguaro Co-Op Park. The bus and van convoy was a smooth 800 mile drive that we did over 3-days, and it was much more enjoyable than either of us anticipated. The bus drove like […]
