Back in March, we starting making our plans to spend the summer RVing around the Northeast. An area of the country we had neglected in our prior years of RVing. In our post announcing these plans, we made these statements: We know RVing up that way is much more expensive than we’re used to, more […]

The Great Loop: What’s Next for Technomadia
It was around 10 years ago that Chris and I were chatting online in the weeks leading up to our first in-person meeting on October 18th, 2006. During those increasingly deep initial conversations, we were coming to realize that we were attracted to each other for many reasons – and an unquenchable thirst for travel was high amongst […]
Does Visiting All 50 States Mean You’ve Seen the Country?
Some travelers keep a bucket list of items to check off – such as visiting all the national parks, visiting every state or seeing every ball of twine. We really never had a list when we set off full timing. But we did have the ambitious intentions to ‘visit most of the lower 48, Alaska and […]
Tips for Surviving Weekends in Campgrounds
For those who work in a traditional Monday-Friday world, Friday is generally a day of celebration. The end of the workweek, the beginning of the weekend. It might even be a casual day as folks prepare for whatever they have planned for the weekend. You might even take off work a bit early. Weekends are when […]
RVing with Cats
Hey everyone – Kiki here. Chris and Cherie are super busy this week attending the Escapee’s Escapade in Vermont. They told me if I get bored while they’re attending seminars and talking to people, that I should do something useful. So I thought some of you might like to know about RVing with Cats. They hosted a […]
Big RV: Little Generator – Downsizing to a 2500W Propane Generator
If you were hanging around our little corner of the web this time last year, then you might remember we had a few little BUNCH of modifications made to our bus. One of the projects we tackled was downsizing from a 7500 watt diesel generator to a 2500 watt propane powered one. We had a lot of […]
Five Years Living & Traveling in a GM 4106 Vintage Bus Conversion
Five years ago this week, we handed over a big wad of cash to a guy in a parking lot and became vintage bus conversion owners. And, wow.. what an amazing life we’ve enjoyed with our mighty gal, Zephyr. And what a long way we’ve come! Not only do we recognize our five years with […]
Tips for RV Driveway Surfing – Being a Great Temporary Neighbor
When we first hit the road, we started getting invitations to come park in people’s driveways. I found it odd at first. Did these well intentioned folks think we couldn’t afford to stay where I thought RV’s belonged – in campgrounds? I was on a mission to prove we weren’t moochers, and could pay our […]
Running an RV AC off Solar, Batteries, and a Hybrid Boosting Inverter
We’re currently driveway surfing with friends in coastal Georgia, where it’s pretty darn hot (and crazy humid!) as the summer fast approaches. They only have a 15A power outlet on a front porch available for us to plug a long extension cord into, which for many RVs would mean blowing breakers or limping along without […]
Travel Like A Local? or Travel Like a Tourist?
As perpetual nomads, with intentional blurry lines between ‘every day life’ and ‘travel’ – we’re always experiencing new places while technically living there too. But we’re not quite tourists, and we’re not quite locals. Our lives are often confused for being in perpetual vacation mode, a topic we talked about on camera last week. Today, […]
