It’s been a few years since we updated our list of favorite mobile apps for RVers. We just came off an extended RV trip for the winter season, and it was fun to see which apps we still love and new apps that have hit the market. So here it is, our updated list of […]

1 Year ‘Loopiversary’ – Why So Slow? And What Has it Cost?
Last month we toasted a year of owning our motor yacht Y-Not (a Bayliner 4788). And this week, we nod our heads to remember shoving off from Punta Gorda, FL to start our American Great Loop Adventure after spending several weeks learning our boat systems, getting training and deciding we were ready for our first […]
The ’10 Year Rule’ – Do RV Parks Really Turn Older RVs Away?
Since our RV is based on a 55+ year old bus chassis, we’re often asked if we get turned away from RV parks for being too old. There are, unfortunately, some commercial and private RV parks that do have a rule against allowing older rigs. Generally the cut off is 10 years, but sometimes we’ve […]
The Math is Undeniable: Boondocking Is About To Be Busted
Please note the publish date of this post, and adjust your humor appropriately :). Though rushed, our recent RV trip from Florida to Texas was a reminder of just how much we love living on the road, and in Zephyr. Splitting our time between boat and bus has been our plan since the beginning, as […]
Nomadic Friendships: When ‘Until Next Time’ Might Be A Long Time
Community on the road is quite a bit different than the community you might experience while living stationary. The people you’re hanging out with can shift as often as you change locations. Just a few of our meet-ups in the last couple of months: Sometimes you connect with fellow nomads as your paths cross for […]
Just Because Y-Not Is More FUN Than Why (Limited Edition – No Longer Available)
For years we’ve had readers and viewers ask if we had any ‘Technomadia swag’ they could purchase. We’re just not ‘swag’ sort of bloggers – we do this for FUN. But with a boat, it’s pretty common to have a boat shirt – and we’ve been considering what we wanted for ours. Last year while […]
Why Yes – You Can have Scenic Views AND Great Internet
A few weeks ago in the Internet for RVers & Cruisers group we host on Facebook – we had a member make the claim that it’s impossible to really be on the road visiting cool locations AND get enough mobile internet to stream video. We beg to differ – it’s completely possible if it’s enough of […]
Getting your RV Education: Overview of Three RV Online Schools
The RV industry is booming right now, and there are more people than ever planning to buy RVs and hit the road. If you’re one of them, then you’re probably elbow deep in information overload trying to learn everything you need to successfully pursue an RV lifestyle. When we hit the road almost a […]
Preparing a Boat for a Catastrophic Hurricane – Hurricane Irma in the Florida Keys (And Happy end of Hurricane Season!)
First of all… a big ole WAHOOOOO for it being December 1st! The 2017 Hurricane season is officially over. And while the season is over, many are still dealing with the fallout of the major storms that made landfall. Power is still not returned to the majority of the islands impacted, people are still homeless […]
Anchoring Out vs RV Boondocking – Similarities and Differences
As boating newbies with over a decade of RVing experience, we’re soaking up the new adventure and learning. In our upcoming travelogues, we’ll be sharing about our latest extended run at anchoring out as we cruised down through the Everglades. Anchoring out is the boating equivalent of RV boondocking – or being off-grid and self […]
