Upgrading Y-Not: Boat Project Planning (Lithium, Solar, Marine Electronics, and More!)
Boat’s are all about projects. Whether it is fixing things, upgrading things, modifying things, or the ever constant need to maintain things – the project list on a boat is perpetually long, and seemingly endless. Particularly as new boat owners – we have a nearly overwhelming list of things that we would like to tackle […]
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) for RVs – Why the EEZTIRE is Our Choice
We feel a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is an important piece of safety equipment to have for anyone on the road. With these systems, you install pressure monitoring sensors on each air valve of your tires (ideally including your RV tow-behind), and these sensors transmit pressure & temperature information to a central display screen you keep […]
Crappy RV or Boat Mattress?? Tips for a Great Night’s Sleep!
Our RV and our boat are our homes, where we lay our heads down to sleep every night. But so many come with, shall we say, crappy mattresses. Meant more for weekend excursions than everyday living. But you don’t have to put up with it. There’s nothing that says you have to sacrifice a good […]
Happy Hurricane Season: Our Florida Boating “Plans”
Today, June 1, marks the beginning of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. It’ll run until November 30, and it’s predicted to be an active one. And yup, we just bought a boat in Florida. The way we see it, aside from rushing our cruising up the east coast to say … upstate New York, there’s no […]

Boat vs RV – First Impressions of Living Aboard a Boat & Differences from RV Living
We’ve now been living aboard our boat Y-Not for 2 months, and it seems like a good time to share some of our initial thoughts on the lifestyle differences from our RV-life. This is by no means a competition between RV and boat life – we absolutely love RVing, and look forward to moving back aboard […]
10 Years as a Technomad – Thoughts on How the Nomadic Community Has Changed
Today is my tenth nomadiversary. If you had asked me 10 years ago what I’d be doing now, a decade later, I can pretty much guarantee you I wouldn’t have said that I’d be ‘still on the road’. Quite honestly, I really thought this nomadic phase would have been long done and fulfilled by now, perhaps […]
Shopping for and Buying Our Boat
The buying process of a boat and an RV are similar, but yet very different. Buying an RV is closer to the process of buying a vehicle, whereas a boat (at least a cruising style boat) is closer to a house. A while back we shared our tips & tricks for shopping for both boats […]
Re-Introducing ‘Coverage?’ – Carrier’s Coverage Maps in Your Pocket, Now Available for Android Too!
Nearly 7-years ago in the middle of a crazy cross-country repositioning, we prepaid for a campsite in a beautiful location surrounded by wild flowers in Colorado for 3 days.
