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 10 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 […]

Celebrating Ten Years of ‘Coverage?’ in the App Store – 3G, 4G, 5G!

Dec 22, 2020 by Chris Dunphy 4 Comments

Ten years ago today we launched our second app – ‘Coverage?‘. Ten years in the App Store. Wow! ‘Coverage?’ was launched way back in the era of 3G and sparse coverage maps that were more dead zone than not in many parts of the country. Having the ability to carry your own personalized coverage maps […]

Nomads on Pause: Our Longest Stay Yet!

Aug 30, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 9 Comments

Five months ago we arrived back to Sanford, Florida – a favorite stop in our prior travels that felt most like home to us. Effectively putting nomadic life on pause as we wait out the pandemic and the craziness of the world. This now marks our longest stay in one place since we hit the […]

RVing and Cruising During Hurricane Season

Aug 11, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 9 Comments

So here we are again, in the southeast on the precipice of peak hurricane season. Despite hopes and wishes, not only did the season not get rescheduled due to COVID – it seems like the months ahead are shaping up to be a doozy with nearly double the number of predicted storms. At this point, […]

Getting Back to Abundant Desert Boondocking

Jul 11, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 6 Comments

Earlier this year we returned to our boondocking roots for a month in the deserts of Arizona in our bus. It was oh so wonderful to be out in nature, on our own and feeling abundant in the systems we had long ago setup on Zephyr. From water management, tanks, solar and lithium – in […]
