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 […]

On Hiatus: A Quick Thank You & FAQs
Ok, first of all, we know it sounds pretty silly to be making a post about being on hiatus, while on hiatus. I’m really not sure what to call what we’re doing right now. But we couldn’t just let all of the outpouring of support we’ve gotten over the past few days just sit there. We never […]
Taking a Break
We’ve been receiving a lot of ‘Hate’ lately. It’s just too much. For everyone who has ever hated on our gs and ms, or Chris’ hat, or the angle of our lampshade, or other grammer, or the volume of our audio, or the misspellings, or the oh gasp.. she talks more than him.. or […]
RV Solar: Is It Worth It?
We absolutely love living in a solar powered RV. But as awesome as solar can be, it is NOT for everyone. A lot of RVers seem to think that a few hundred watts of solar will magically give them absolute electrical independence (even running air conditioners!) with an investment that will pay for itself in […]
Cochiti Lake, Tent Rocks & Taking Care of Ourselves
When we last left you, we were parked along Cochiti Lake, and had pretty much not left our campsite except for an errand run into Albuquerque. Blissfully catching up on sleep, rest, projects and finally just being at home. We ended up extending for the full 14-days we were allowed. First come first serve sites […]
Commencing Operation Decompression
The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. We came, we saw, we conquered. It’s been our major pin in the calendar for quite a while. After routing our spring to get from the desert Southwest to Elkhart, an amazing summer in Alaska, returning to the chaos of the bus renovations not being done, spending a month onsite pushing to get […]
Hot Beverages, Climate Control, Flag Pole & Toys!
Our renovation projects over the summer were pretty massive, and we shared an overview of the bigger items recently. With any renovation there usually comes some smaller changes. After all, in an RV you just don’t have room for carrying items that no longer make sense. So in this post, I’ll introduce some of the newer […]
Guide to RVing at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
Four years ago, we made a last minute decision to route through Albuquerque rather than across Colorado on our first bus trip east. We were warned that RV parking might be scarce however, because there was this balloon thingie going on. We scored a last minute site about 40 minutes outside of town, and decided to […]
Launching a Dream into Reality – The Xscapers Convergence at Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta
It started as a dream… a wish. A wish for a community of like minded RVers who are choosing a nomadic life and not waiting for the promise of traditional retirement. A network of peers where we can share experiences, navigate the tricky parts of this lifestyle together, and strengthen our combined voices. Of course […]
The Road to Albuquerque
While our pace of getting from Elkhart to Alburquerque was not as relaxed as we would have ideally liked, we made the best of it and worked in a couple of longer stays in scenic locations to get some catch-up time. We generally followed Route 66 the entire way from St. Louis. When we last updated […]
