Have you ever had a vision and then came back 4 years later and realized – you totally found the exact right people to share that vision with? I’m not sure I’m ever going to be able to adequately convey just what the past 3 weeks has meant to us as we have re-immersed ourselves […]
Van Life (May 2019 - present)
Lessons Learned After Long Term RV Storage – Getting Zephyr Back on the Road
We stored our RV for nearly 1.5 years, and learned a lot. In early 2018 we drove our bus to Texas to attend & speak at the RV Entrepreneur Summit. We had tried and tried to get a spot at the co-op park in Benson by then so we could then just proceed to Arizona […]
We Have Arrived to Benson to our Lot at SKP Saguaro (And a ‘Please Don’t Drop By Unannounced’ Reminder)
We have arrived to our winter basecamp in Benson, AZ – to the lot we are leaseholders at in the SKP Saguaro Co-Op Park. The bus and van convoy was a smooth 800 mile drive that we did over 3-days, and it was much more enjoyable than either of us anticipated. The bus drove like […]

Travato Van Mods for Living & Working on the Road – 3 Month Full Time Update
It’s hard to believe – we have been in our 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G for nearly 3 months as our home base. It all started with wanting to be with my mom back in early August for her surgery and then evacuating for Hurricane Dorian. Since the boat was already hauled out, we decided to […]
INTRUDER ALERT – Important Tip Learned For Reaching 911 When You’re Not Local
Last week, our boat was broken into while in storage ‘on the hard’. We’re currently nearly a 1000 miles away from the boat, traveling by van and staying with family in the St. Louis area. As we were settling in for the evening to watch a cop show (ironically), we got a motion alert on […]
Transitioning to Van RV Life from Boat Life: 7 knots to 70 mph
The past couple of months have kept us super busy – between getting the boat in storage to get to my mom in Florida for her surgery, then a hurricane evacuation… then deciding to just transition back to RV life for several months since the boat was already hauled. We love change – that’s part […]
What’s Next for 2019? Van? Boat? Bus?
Oof. It’s been a jam packed crazy past few weeks. Between 2+ weeks heading down to Florida to be with my mom last month. And returning to the boat in Savannah just to prepare and evacuate for Hurricane Dorian. We’ve hardly had a chance to rest and catch up. We waited out Hurricane Dorian’s path […]
Hurricane Dorian Update: Evacuation from Savannah, Georgia
Thanks to all who have been reaching to see if we’re impacted by Hurricane Dorian’s projected path. And, indeed.. we most probably will be. Our blog/video travel series is always a bit behind due to how much effort they take to produce these days. Last we left you, we were arriving to Savannah – but […]
First Impressions of our 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G Camper Van
Back in May, we serendipitously purchased a camper van – a 2016 Winnebago Travato 59K we’ve named Coopernicus. Quick recap: We wanted a van to replace our Mini Cooper, which we had towed behind our 1961 vintage bus conversion since 2011 – and now used to hopscotch between marinas during our boating season about our […]
