It’s hard to believe – we have been in our 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G for nearly 3 months as our home base. It all started with wanting to be with my mom back in early August for her surgery and then evacuating for Hurricane Dorian. Since the boat was already hauled out, we decided to […]
Van Life (May 2019 - present)
INTRUDER ALERT – Important Tip Learned For Reaching 911 When You’re Not Local
Last week, our boat was broken into while in storage ‘on the hard’. We’re currently nearly a 1000 miles away from the boat, traveling by van and staying with family in the St. Louis area. As we were settling in for the evening to watch a cop show (ironically), we got a motion alert on […]
Transitioning to Van RV Life from Boat Life: 7 knots to 70 mph
The past couple of months have kept us super busy – between getting the boat in storage to get to my mom in Florida for her surgery, then a hurricane evacuation… then deciding to just transition back to RV life for several months since the boat was already hauled. We love change – that’s part […]
What’s Next for 2019? Van? Boat? Bus?
Oof. It’s been a jam packed crazy past few weeks. Between 2+ weeks heading down to Florida to be with my mom last month. And returning to the boat in Savannah just to prepare and evacuate for Hurricane Dorian. We’ve hardly had a chance to rest and catch up. We waited out Hurricane Dorian’s path […]
Hurricane Dorian Update: Evacuation from Savannah, Georgia

First Impressions of our 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G Camper Van
Back in May, we serendipitously purchased a camper van – a 2016 Winnebago Travato 59K we’ve named Coopernicus. Quick recap: We wanted a van to replace our Mini Cooper, which we had towed behind our 1961 vintage bus conversion since 2011 – and now used to hopscotch between marinas during our boating season about our […]
Travato Video Tour & Naming our New Camper Van
We’ve been enjoying visiting a local regional park here in Brunswick for some shake-down camping trips in the new Travato. As amazing as our every day life is living on the water or in our RV – it’s still good to break it up. We’ve found getting out in the van feels more like a […]
Introducing our New (to us) 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G Class-B Conversion Van
Last week was an amazing whirlwind of serendipity. And the end result – we are pleased to introduce you to the newest addition to growing fleet of nomadic vessels – a 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G. Why a Van? Earlier this year we shared the start of our search for a Class-B van conversion and the […]
