Boosted Electrons = Better Views

Apr 5, 2012 by Chris Dunphy 55 Comments

We’ve had a lot of requests for updates on our lithium battery system, but the truth is that it hasn’t been getting much of a workout. We’ve spent the past several months focusing on being near family, and we haven’t had any opportunity to tackle the solar panel project or to do any boondocking. Instead […]

Sixth Nomadiversary

Apr 1, 2012 by Chris Dunphy 9 Comments

Six years ago today, right as the sun was rising, I left my apartment keys on the counter and pulled the door shut behind me. I had no set plans about where I was going. I didn’t have any mobile-friendly work lined up. I didn’t have a partner by my side to share the adventure […]

It is time to share more of the “Tech” side of Technomadia. As technomads, we’re constantly updating our technology arsenal. Here is an update on some of the technology toys we’ve been playing with lately – the good, the bad, and the ugly. Millenicom 4G Hotspot Plan / Samsung SCH-LC11 Hotspot We absolutely love Millenicom […]

Promise of Lithium #3: Lithium RV Battery System Cost Analysis

Nov 16, 2011 by Chris Dunphy 63 Comments

In the first post of this series: I explained the chief downsides of Lead Acid batteries, the tried and true battery technology that powers essentially every RV electrical system made. And in part two, I explained about the advantages Lithium Ion batteries, the latest and greatest battery technology to come along. In particular, I raved about the […]

Promise of Lithium #2: Lithium Ion Battery Advantages

Oct 10, 2011 by Chris Dunphy 35 Comments

In the first post of this series, I explained the chief downsides of lead acid batteries, the type found powering the house bank in 99.999% of all RV’s you have ever seen. It is a depressingly long list. As you will soon see, on paper lithium ion batteries seem to be superior in almost every […]

Promise of Lithium #1: Lead Acid Battery Downsides

Oct 6, 2011 by Chris Dunphy 20 Comments

Lifeline AGM Battery

We’ve made a few teaser posts showing off our new lithium ion battery bank, but we’ve yet to properly explain why on earth we decided to venture off into such uncharted electrical territory instead of installing a more traditional flooded lead acid or AGM battery bank. This post is the start of a series explaining […]

The Le’Sharo Right of Passage

May 31, 2011 by Chris Dunphy 23 Comments

It was only a month ago when we found ourselves facing imminent homelessness, heading north from Florida to deliver both our truck and our beloved trailer to their new owner. We headed towards the sale with literally no plan for what was next. We started looking into buying a temporary RV, or renting a u-haul […]

Fifth Nomadiversary

Apr 1, 2011 by Chris Dunphy 25 Comments

Today is my fifth Nomadiversary. I’ve now spent five years on the road without a fixed address, never even knowing particularly far in advance where I’ll be headed next. It has been a great ride. (This next section was part of our April Fool’s Joke – just thought we’d clarify now, as so many folks […]

St. John’s 8 Tuff Miles!

Feb 27, 2011 by Chris Dunphy 10 Comments

This past Saturday morning I ran in the 8 Tuff Miles race up and over the island of St. John – starting in Cruz Bay and ending on our side of the island in Coral Bay. It was an incredible experience. We first heard about the run back in October when we were researching heading […]

Feb 1, 2011 by Chris Dunphy 10 Comments

A bit over a week ago I was buzzed over Skype by my friend Ewan Spence, an award-winning podcaster, Cthulhu tamer, and kilt wearing international man of mystery.

Ewan asked me if I’d like to be his guinea pig first interview for a new podcast concept he was trying out – “Room 404“.
