Three Years in a Vintage Bus

Jun 22, 2014 by Technomadia 25 Comments

Has it really been three years already?!? It seems like just yesterday we were roaming around the country on a month long Amtrak pass searching for a vintage bus to become our next home on wheels. After 4 years of traveling in smaller travel trailers and having just spent a winter living in the US Virgin Islands, […]

The Fleetwood & GLAMARAMA Rally

Jun 18, 2014 by Technomadia 24 Comments

We swear.. we’re not becoming rally people! But when the Wynn’s invited us to join them for the Fleetwood rally they were presenting at in Goshen, IN – we couldn’t resist attending our 3rd major rally this spring. After years of blog stalking each other, we finally got to meet up for dinner a couple […]

The Definitive Guide to Cellular Booster Registration

Jun 16, 2014 by Chris Dunphy 35 Comments

New rules from the FCC went into effect on May 1st – outlawing sales of old booster models and paving the way for a new generation of cellular boosters designed to reduce the potential for causing interference to wireless networks. Waiting for these new standards and the accompanying certification process has essentially frozen the market […]

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.

Bus Projects: The Master Tech Marathon

Jun 9, 2014 by Chris Dunphy 17 Comments

2015 Note: After our awesome 2014 experience documented below, we returned to Master Tech RV in Summer 2015 for a new paint job, hydronics installation, generator swap out and other projects. This time, after a year of getting to know Tim better across the country, we’d be dropping our bus/RV off for 6-8 weeks while we […]

Jun 5, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 2 Comments

Shopping for RV Seats in Elkhart, IN – Our Flexsteel 517 Seats, Peeling Haloleather & Replacement

Jun 4, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 19 Comments

When you own a bus, or well, any home actually – there’s always a to-do list a mile long of potential future projects. Our lovely Zephyr is no exception. We bought her almost 3 years ago for a song, but knowing full well that it would unending upgrade projects. So when we have access to […]

Jun 2, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 3 Comments

Adapting to living on the road in an RV means adjusting to small house living. That’s tough enough. But if you’re working on the road from your mobile home, that also means finding a way to comfortably setup desk space. We started this series last year, and have been collecting more case studies of awesome […]

Hanging around Elkhart

May 29, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 6 Comments

We’ve been hanging out in Elkhart, IN ever since the Escapade let out on the 17th at Elkhart Campground. Between the DOVES hosting Red Cross training classes, Nick Russell of the awesome Gypsy Journal offering his Self Publishing workshop and bunches of friends – who could resist? It’s been non-stop events, social gatherings, deepening of […]
