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 […]
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 […]

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.

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 […]
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 […]
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. We had great signal on our cellular devices and decided to plop down and get some work done. A few hours later, our carriers started sending us […]
Awesome Campsites – Tips for Selecting the BEST Site!
The right site in a campground can be the difference between a crappy experience and an awesome one. What makes a site great for you, will likely differ than what makes a site great for us. We personally love sites with great views and maximum privacy – we prefer to see a field, trees or […]
