I have been a fan of solar power as long as I have been living on the road. One of the first projects I tackled when I first became nomadic way back in 2006 was adding 130W of solar to the back of my tiny Tab Clamshell. I think it was my abundance of sexy solar […]

We are super pleased to announce that we have just wrapped up writing the The Mobile Internet Handbook – 2014 US RVers Edition.

Or RV & Boat Mobile Internet Setup – How We Keep Online & Connected
Reliable mobile internet has been absolutely essential for us in our RV and cruising travels, constantly seeking out the current best options to keep abundantly online while we explore our wanderlust and work remotely. When we hit the road in 2006 in a super tiny travel trailer, we were in our early 30s and working […]
Tried & True RVing Travel Gear We Love
Have we mentioned that we use a lot of technology to enable our travels, and that we love gizmos? We try a lot of stuff. Some of it gets repurposed pretty quickly, but some things have stuck around. Here’s some of the stuff that has made the cut to continue traveling with us: Our Mobile […]
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Distant WiFi: FlagPole Buddy & Ubiquiti NanoStation
When it comes to getting online, very often nothing beats a little altitude. We’ve long loved the WiFiRanger Sky on the roof of our bus – it has worked wonders in many campgrounds allowing us to surf away happily via WiFi at distances substantially further than we could ever reach without it. But if a […]
The Definitive Guide to Cellular Booster Registration
New rules from the FCC went into effect on May 1st – outlawing sales of old booster models and paving the way for a new generation of cellular boosters designed to reduce the potential for causing interference to wireless networks. Waiting for these new standards and the accompanying certification process has essentially frozen the market […]

As part of the campaign, we’re also rolling out our new ‘Premium Membership’ program that we’ve begun calling Mobile Internet Aficionados. The new book will […]
The Android Army: Sound and Fury, Signifying Not So Much…
A little over a week ago, we threw down the gauntlet – launching our new app ‘US Public Lands’ for Android just days after the iOS version went on sale. We challenged Android fans to prove that there is a viable market out there, asking: So…. Droids…. stand up and be counted, and show us that […]
‘US Public Lands’ Now Available for Android too!
Whenever we post about any of our mobile applications, especially our app ‘Coverage?‘, we end up getting flooded with “what about Android?” requests. Sometimes the Android fans are pretty pushy – saying things like “Don’t you know that Android is the bulk of the market now?!?!” There may technically be more Droid users – but […]
Introducing: US Public Lands for iPhone/iPad & Android
Flash back to early June 2007. Just a couple weeks earlier I had left my stationary home in Florida and set off across the country in a small 16′ T@b trailer with Chris. My crazy adventure of full time RVing had just begun, fueled by biodiesel and the “anything is possible” energy of a new […]
