Northern Indiana Exploring

Jun 12, 2014 by Technomadia 8 Comments

Our time in northern Indiana hasn’t all been consumed with bus projects – we did get out and play a little too. Elkhart While still at Elkhart Campground (our review), RVillage founder Curtis Coleman hosted an impromptu meet up at his coach – which was very well attended. We hardly had time to talk with […]

Help us make ‘The Mobile Internet Handbook’ 2nd Edition Awesome!

May 7, 2014 by Technomadia 7 Comments

About this time last year, we decided it would be nifty to put all of our mobile internet related posts in one place – creating a central spot for all of this stuff that we get asked about so frequently. Topics covered included cellular options, WiFi, boosting systems, antennas, satellite internet, and figuring out just what […]

To Repair, Replace, Rebuild or Repower our 8V71?

Jun 24, 2013 by Technomadia 39 Comments

So there we were – broken down and ending up in Billings, MT – pondering our options to get back on the road. Last Monday morning the techs at Interstate PowerSystems (where we had been hauled to over the weekend) confirmed what we already suspected – that the overheating almost certainly had caused non-trivial damage to […]

4 Years Ago

Warning: We’ve always carefully avoided using this blog as a platform to express our political leanings. We know that we have readers from a variety of backgrounds and walks of life – and we respect and honor each of you and would rather focus our energies on the things that we have in common rather […]

Mobile Internet Geekery & Gadgetry – How We Stay Online While RVing

Jun 11, 2012 by Technomadia 38 Comments

December 12: 2012 update: This post is already very outdated – tech changes rapidly, after all!  We’ve made a lot of tech upgrades! We recommend jumping right to our most current information, including in-depth articles, a video and even our  new book – The Mobile Internet Handbook : Updated Mobile Internet Connectivity Gadgetry for RVers (this […]

SerenDIPity Challenge Contest

Jun 8, 2012 by Technomadia

One of our goals is living by nomadic serendipity. We often say that we live in the time zone of Nomadic Standard Time. Serendipity is what guides our routing, our adventures and experiences. We purposely avoid making plans to allow serendipity to point us to where we need to be.  Sure, we set intentions – […]

The Choice: Verizon or AT&T’s 4G/LTE Networks?

Mar 14, 2012 by Technomadia 17 Comments

One of our most frequently asked questions (right up there with “How old is that bus?” and “Oh, wow, is that a cat on a leash!?!”) is “Who has the best cell network?” As technomads who have been living and running our business on the road for 5+ years now, indeed, we have more first […]

Introducing Coverage? 2012 for iPhone & iPad

Feb 16, 2012 by Technomadia 7 Comments

A bit over a year ago we released ‘Coverage?’ for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. In the time since, we’ve been thrilled with all the great feedback and reviews we have gotten. The app has sustained a 4+ star rating. This app really is genuinely useful, and there is nothing else like it out […]

3… 2… 1… We did a 1/2 Marathon!

Dec 4, 2011 by Technomadia 6 Comments

We’re still in a bit of disbelief: one week ago today – we each completed the Space Coast Half Marathon! We’ve been integrating in more fitness into our travels, and have been looking forward to slowing down our pace of travel to allow for more hiking and jogging.  Almost 2 years ago, we both used […]

Introducing Our New iPhone App: Can I Drink the Water?

Sep 26, 2011 by Technomadia Leave a Comment

A while back, our friend Andy Hayes – that travel guy, launched a new website – Can I Drink the Water? We thought it was brilliant.  It very simply answers the question – “is it safe to drink the water?” for over 200 countries. A very handy reference tool for travelers . We were also […]
