Our Mobile Internet Setup for Boat & RV – 2025 Update (Abundant without Starlink!)

Jul 13, 2025 by Cherie Ve Ard 4 Comments

We have been doing mobile internet for nearly two decades now. Back when 3G was just emerging and satellite internet was a pain in the rear to use. While technology has rapidly advanced over the years making internet on the go substantially faster and easier – it still takes some finesse to keep abundantly connected […]

Finding Campgrounds & RV Camping with Nearby Biking Trails

Jan 16, 2023 by Cherie Ve Ard 38 Comments

Ever since we got our eBikes, we have made it a mission to seek out great biking trails. But not just any biking trail, we really love trails that are easily accessible – right from where we are staying in our van, bus or boat. We do still frequently seek out cool trails and trailheads to break up […]

Our First RV Trip to Canada – Exploring Southern Ontario, Border Crossing, Internet & Money

Sep 6, 2022 by Cherie Ve Ard 12 Comments

Can you believe that in our 16 years of full timing we have never RV’d in Canada? Yeah. We can’t either. We have however visited Canada many times by cruise ship, train and car. So this summer, we decided it was well past time we finally crossed over with an RV as well for a […]

Baring It All – Skinny Dipping at Nude RV Parks

Aug 9, 2022 by Cherie Ve Ard 13 Comments

Have you ever stayed at a nudist RV park? We recently decided it was time for us to experience one for the first time in our travels. While neither us would identify as a naturist – we actually enjoy wearing clothing too – we have always been comfortable being in clothing optional situations. And it’s […]

15 Years of Technomadia: 15 Lessons – A Cacophony of Memories

May 10, 2022 by Cherie Ve Ard 10 Comments

15 years.. just.. wow. I can hardly believe that is how long it’s been since I pulled out of the driveway of my comfortable beachside home in a super tiny T@b travel trailer with this guy I had met on a Prius forum. We registered the domain name of Technomadia.com just days before we headed […]

A Nomadic Fleet: Vintage Bus, Camper Van and Boat

Mar 25, 2022 by Cherie Ve Ard 8 Comments

As we approach our 16th year on the road, it seems we have built a nomadic fleet. And we’ve received a lot of questions on how it’s working out to manage a boat, a van and a bus. The quick answer – far better than we ever imagined. Before we left Zephyr behind in Arizona […]

RV Hacks: Travel Photo Library Management Tip and a New Book!

Jul 6, 2021 by Cherie Ve Ard 16 Comments

Once you’ve been on the road a while, you inevitably start to accumulate a ton of photos. And not all of them blog worthy shots. In fact, some of them might be downright awful. Like those shots of inside your pocket, blurry attempts at capturing a rainbow, or hundreds of photos trying to capture your […]

Starlink & 5G – Future of Mobile Internet for RVers and Boaters: Are We Excited??

Apr 21, 2021 by Cherie Ve Ard 6 Comments

The internet is all abuzz about Starlink satellite internet and 5G cellular. Will these two emerging new technologies live up to the hype as a mobile internet solution for RVers and boaters? As part of our day job over at the Mobile Internet Resource Center we’ve been closely tracking both 5G and Starlink for years. We […]

Winnebago Travato K vs G – Floor Plan Showdown

Apr 6, 2021 by Cherie Ve Ard 12 Comments

We recently joined up with our friends Jen & Deas (NealysonWheels) and Kristin & Katy (Snowmads) in South Carolina for an impromptu van meetup. Our first time leaving the state of Florida since the pandemic began. We’ve known all of these guys for many years, having rendezvoused across the country as full time RVers – […]

Upgrading to a 2020.5 Winnebago Travato GL from 2016 Travato G – Was it Worth It?

Mar 2, 2021 by Cherie Ve Ard 14 Comments

2020.5 Travato GL vs 2016 Travato G

We’ve now had Blooper, our new-to-us 2020.5 Travato GL, for 3 months. And we’ve been asked multiple times if the upgrade from our 2016 Travato G (Cooper) has been worth it, and if the upgrade addressed our complaints we shared back in September. So now that we have several camping trips under our belt with […]
