Last year we went out on a van adventure, starting in Florida to Oregon, Arizona and back again. And we recorded what RV mobile internet options we used at each stop. We’ve shared the travelogues from each segment on this blog if you want to dive into the trip details. We thought it would also […]

Mobile Internet Setup Tour, RVillage End of an Era, Sanfording & General Update
Wow. I just looked at our last post, and it was just over two months ago. Oops. The lack of posting certainly doesn’t convey the abundance of activity in our lives. So the good news is the reason for our absence is simply because we’re having way too much fun. So first, let’s get […]
Flooding Prioritizes Boat Electrical Upgrades – New Inverters for more Solar Efficiency
Our last post was on October 6 – just as we passed a previous record flood level from 1953 here at the waterfront in Downtown Sanford Lake Monroe ended up cresting at 8.96′ above normal on October 9th, and the waters have been slowly receding since then.

New Internet Video, Blog Comments Are Back & General Updates
Last month, our host of this site since we started it way back in 2007 – DreamHost – moved us from our legacy server to a new one. The website went completely down in the process, but thankfully they were able to restore the content and most of the formatting. However, for reasons unexplained – […]

Ten years ago today we launched our second app – ‘Coverage?‘. Ten years in the App Store. Wow! ‘Coverage?’ was launched way back in the era of 3G and sparse coverage maps that were more dead zone than not in many parts of the country. Having the ability to carry your own personalized coverage maps […]
Getting Back to Abundant Desert Boondocking
Earlier this year we returned to our boondocking roots for a month in the deserts of Arizona in our bus. It was oh so wonderful to be out in nature, on our own and feeling abundant in the systems we had long ago setup on Zephyr. From water management, tanks, solar and lithium – in […]
What Killed Our RV Lithium Batteries? 8.5 Years of LiFePo4
In what seems like another world now, last December we replaced our dead lithium batteries in our vintage bus, Zephyr. We originally installed our GBS lithium cells back in August 2011 – and as far as we can tell, we were amongst the first motorhomes to have a lithium house battery system, and we were […]
