On Hiatus: Blasts from the Past

Travelogues

Nov 19, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 15 Comments

Just a quick post this week, with as promised, some links to some past content that you might enjoy catching up on. As a newer reader, you might not have seen this past content. And long time readers might have forgotten about them.


 

With the holidays approaching, us full time RVers start to grasp at straws with what to suggest our loved ones gift us. For we have little room to carry ‘stuff’ and have carefully thought through most everything in our mobile homes. So, here’s some thoughts and a post you can pass on to anyone seeking ideas for gifts suitable for full timers:

Gift Giving Guide for Full Time RVers


 

rv-mobile-appsWhat mobile apps do we love that help us navigate our RVing lifestyle? From finding campgrounds, getting weather alerts, navigating, keeping connected, and finding cool stuff on the road

 

Our 2015 Mobile App Essentials for RV Travel


 

entertainment-for-rversWant to get your TV and movie viewing fix while RVing? Here’s our guide to entertainment on the road – from streaming services to alternative ideas. With T-Mobile fully implementing their new Binge On unlimited video streaming service today, there’s constantly new options too.

TV & Movie Viewing Options for RVers


 

leaving-your-rv-behindIf you’ll be heading off for non-RV travels this holiday season, or storing your RV for the winter season – we teamed up over the summer with our buddies Peter & John of TheRVGeeks to create a guide to storing your RV safely.

Tips for Storing Your RV When You Need to Leave it Behind


 

extending-tanksPlanning some winter boondocking? There are many things that can make a dry camping experience even more precious. Learning to manage your water and waste tanks to get the maximum usage out of them can go a long way to enabling longer stays. Here’s our tips and tricks from our many years of enjoying amazing wild camping with a variety of tank capacities.

Back to Boondocking: Extending the Holding Tanks


 

General Update: We’re doing fine. We’re very much enjoying some down time from being as engaged on social media and focusing on taking care of ourselves. We continue to be humbled by the comments pouring in since we reached our breaking point – so thank you so much for the ongoing support, understanding and appreciation you reflect back.

You can still catch us being active on the Internet for RVers public Facebook group, and covering the mobile internet news over at RVMobileInternet.com.

Until next time… we wish you well and much joy.

    Just recently discovered your blog, and am totally digging it. Why in some of the pics of your bus parked, do you have covers over the tires?

      To protect them from UV damage from the sun. Tires are expensive, want them to last as long as possible and be safe.

    Have a nice, quiet time and be well rested and full of P&V when you return to the blog. As a new subscriber–and a weekender planning to be a full-timer next fall–your time off really works to my personal advantage. I should have time to read all, or at least most, of your past words of wisdom and be ready for the new ones when you’re back.

    Among the first sites I visited, when we realized we needed to get real about our long time dream, was your series ‘Ramblings’. Enjoyable, educational, well done, fun–what more can I say? We are now the proud owners of a 1993 37′ Tiffin Allegro Bay diesel pusher named Tiffany Rose aka Rosie the Bugslayer. My Darlin’ Old Man, the geekier of us, is reading your book on mobile needs and how-to’s. Thank you beaucoup bunches for making all this information available to anyone interested.

    Enjoyed reading the posts I hadn’t seen before. Thanks for bringing them to our attention. We always learn something new and very useful from you both. We just started RVing part time and aim to be traveling much more and hopefully boondocking for the first time this coming December thru to next June. Would surely miss your blog if your hiatus was too long but would definitely understand. How can some people out there be such shites? We don’t know how you and your fellow bloggers keep it up on a real regular basis and always make your writing interesting. Enjoy your me time.

    I think that this is a great idea – to re-share old info. I am just learning about all of this life and appreciate the nuggets of information that you have excavated for us! I’m glad that you’re on hiatus and not gone forever. 🙂
