Boat vs RV: Which Costs More?
Ever since we purchased our motor yacht to start exploring the Great Loop after over a decade of full time RVing – we’ve been asked the question “which costs more?” multiple times. Now that we’ve had our boat for three years (3 years?!?!), we have enough numbers to do a proper comparison of the typical […]
Traveling with a Bus & Van: Convoying Two RVs
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 […]
Top 10 Pandemic Binges – Our Recent TV Streaming Recommendations
The past year has been weird. One of the ways we have coped with the craziness and the lockdowns and the isolation of the pandemic era has been by losing ourselves inside great TV shows. Without many social engagements, we wind down almost every evening with a bit of binging before bed. We have always […]
Travato Van Mods for Living & Working on the Road – 3 Month Full Time Update
It’s hard to believe – we have been in our 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G for nearly 3 months as our home base. It all started with wanting to be with my mom back in early August for her surgery and then evacuating for Hurricane Dorian. Since the boat was already hauled out, we decided to […]
Three Months Still – How We’re Mixing It Up To Keep Sane
When we pulled into Sanford back in late March, we knew we were here for the long haul. Even if the pandemic was appropriately flattened, we figured that would place us smack dab in the middle of hurricane season. Sanford, being pretty well inland in Florida is a pretty safe spot to be for the […]
First Impressions of our 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G Camper Van
Back in May, we serendipitously purchased a camper van – a 2016 Winnebago Travato 59K we’ve named Coopernicus. Quick recap: We wanted a van to replace our Mini Cooper, which we had towed behind our 1961 vintage bus conversion since 2011 – and now used to hopscotch between marinas during our boating season about our […]
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 […]
Join Us For Lots of Cool Upcoming Stuff – ‘The RVers’ Premier and Full-Time Freedom Week
We have been making miles in our van conversion and are currently on the outskirts of Austin, and about to go see Zephyr (our vintage bus conversion) for the first time in person since we left her in storage back in March 2018. We’re excited about that – and are anticipating a crazy week ahead […]
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 […]
