Before we left Benson, we filmed a quick video tour of the interior of Zephyr since it’s been so long since we’ve shared much about our vintage bus conversion. So, here it is: If you’d prefer a photo walk-thru or want more information on the various projects we’ve done over the years, head on over […]
Bus Projects
Re-Covering our Flexsteel Motorhome Captain’s Seats in the Bus – Haloleather Fail
Now that we’re back to Zephyr at our winter home base in Benson, AZ – it was time to tackle a pretty major pending project we had left from our last visit. When got Zephyr out of storage in 2019, we were disappointed to discover that the our two front Flexsteel captains chairs were peeling. […]
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) for RVs – Why the EEZTIRE is Our Choice
We feel a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is an important piece of safety equipment to have for anyone on the road. With these systems, you install pressure monitoring sensors on each air valve of your tires (ideally including your RV tow-behind), and these sensors transmit pressure & temperature information to a central display screen you keep […]
Moving To Water – So What About the Bus?
Ever since we announced our plans to do the Great Loop and start exploring the country by water – we’ve been flooded with one question, over and over. What about the bus? Are you getting rid of Zephyr? People are naturally curious after having followed along in our epic bus adventures for the past nearly six years, and […]
Tour of our RV Office – Computer Monitors and Rolling Chairs in Motion
Life on the road is awesome. We’re so blessed to work and travel, so that we didn’t have to wait for retirement to enjoy this lifestyle. Comfortable working space for two geeks who work online however isn’t a built in feature of most RVs. One of the reasons we sought out a bus conversion was for the […]
Exiting the Northeast Just Like We Entered – More Bus Maintenance
We officially entered the Northeast (depending on how you define what states are included in the ‘Northeast’) back in mid-June. Our first stop then was US Coach in Vineland, New Jersey for preventative bus maintenance. We liked the shop so much, we wanted to return and get ahead on a few other issues. But first, […]
One Year Later: Bus Renovation Recap – Our 5 Favorite Upgrades
Can you believe a year ago this week, we were pulling out of Master Tech RV in Elkhart, Indiana – after having spent over 3 months in the shop being repainted and upgraded? What a saga that was. We reported in weekly towards the end as we moved on site to take charge of the […]
Big RV: Little Generator – Downsizing to a 2500W Propane Generator
If you were hanging around our little corner of the web this time last year, then you might remember we had a few little BUNCH of modifications made to our bus. One of the projects we tackled was downsizing from a 7500 watt diesel generator to a 2500 watt propane powered one. We had a lot of […]
Zephyr’s First Ferry Ride: Pocomoke River State Park, Cape May-Lewes Ferry & Vineland
We often have readers who have attempted blogging write us in thanks for keeping up with this blog for so long. It’s not until you try to do it yourself that you realize just how much time & effort it takes to write, process photos and keep a story going. If you’re not motivated to […]
Five Years Living & Traveling in a GM 4106 Vintage Bus Conversion
Five years ago this week, we handed over a big wad of cash to a guy in a parking lot and became vintage bus conversion owners. And, wow.. what an amazing life we’ve enjoyed with our mighty gal, Zephyr. And what a long way we’ve come! Not only do we recognize our five years with […]
