One of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten since we traded in our MINI Cooper for a Class-B Winnebago Travato van conversion was – do we flat tow the van behind our motorhome? And nope, the Dodge ProMaster chassis is not flat towable. And our bus conversion really isn’t meant for towing much of anything […]

Xscapers Annual Bash 2020 & New Years Eve Blowout – What a Way to Start the Decade!
Have you ever had a vision and then came back 4 years later and realized – you totally found the exact right people to share that vision with? I’m not sure I’m ever going to be able to adequately convey just what the past 3 weeks has meant to us as we have re-immersed ourselves […]
Lessons Learned After Long Term RV Storage – Getting Zephyr Back on the Road
We stored our RV for nearly 1.5 years, and learned a lot. In early 2018 we drove our bus to Texas to attend & speak at the RV Entrepreneur Summit. We had tried and tried to get a spot at the co-op park in Benson by then so we could then just proceed to Arizona […]
A Month Docked in Downtown Charleston, SC
Ok.. time to do the time warp again as we get caught up on past due travelogues. This time, we’re taking you back to July. When the temperatures were spiking into the 100s and we decided to take out a sweet monthly spot in a marina right smack dab downtown in the awesome city of […]
We Have Arrived to Benson to our Lot at SKP Saguaro (And a ‘Please Don’t Drop By Unannounced’ Reminder)
We have arrived to our winter basecamp in Benson, AZ – to the lot we are leaseholders at in the SKP Saguaro Co-Op Park. The bus and van convoy was a smooth 800 mile drive that we did over 3-days, and it was much more enjoyable than either of us anticipated. The bus drove like […]
Awesome Possum, Rum and Kazoos – Great Loop Cruising from Savannah to Charleston
Sorry for the time line disruption these past couple of months as we’ve had a few real time updates in between our travelogues. Join us as we jump back to June to get you caught up. You know, that time when it was so hot we wished for cooler temps? And now here I sit […]
Transitioning to Van RV Life from Boat Life: 7 knots to 70 mph
The past couple of months have kept us super busy – between getting the boat in storage to get to my mom in Florida for her surgery, then a hurricane evacuation… then deciding to just transition back to RV life for several months since the boat was already hauled. We love change – that’s part […]
Getting Buzzed along the Georgia Coastline – Cruising the Great Loop
We’re so glad we booked a month long stay in Brunswick, as it gave us ample opportunity to get acquainted with our new camper van that we found waiting for us in the parking lot. We really had no plans this summer – continue heading north? Stay in Brunswick? Store the boat and go RVing? […]
Back on the Great Loop – FINALLY Leaving Florida! (Or…Wild Horses Couldn’t Drag Our Anchor?)
After a wonderful winter spent on the St. Johns River and in Sanford, we arrived back to Jacksonville so we could bounce over to the RVillage Rally in Live Oak. We returned to The Marina at Ortega Landing (same marina we stayed at back in fall), and came down with ‘conference crud’ that took us […]
Reconnecting with our RVing Roots at RVillage Rally 2.0
In galaxy far far away, we once helped launch a social network for RVers called RVillage. It was an ambitious idea pitched to us by Curtis Coleman – imagine being able pull into an RV park, check in on the website and then be able to view the profiles of others parked nearby? You could […]
