Our renovation projects over the summer were pretty massive, and we shared an overview of the bigger items recently. With any renovation there usually comes some smaller changes. After all, in an RV you just don’t have room for carrying items that no longer make sense. So in this post, I’ll introduce some of the newer […]

Guide to RVing at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
Four years ago, we made a last minute decision to route through Albuquerque rather than across Colorado on our first bus trip east. We were warned that RV parking might be scarce however, because there was this balloon thingie going on. We scored a last minute site about 40 minutes outside of town, and decided to […]
Is It Worthwhile to Renovate an Old RV? Why Not Just Buy New?
Some of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten over the years (particularly during our summer 2015 bus renovation) have been around the amount we have invested in our RV, and more particularly – why didn’t we just go buy a newer RV with all the features we wanted, rather than building them in ourselves? Is it […]
Summer 2015 Bus Renovations Tour & Project List
Now that life is getting a bit back to normal and we’ve had some time catching up – it’s time to begin sharing about our bus projects! To start the ball off, we thought we’d share the ‘nickel tour’ with you. If you have the bandwidth to spare, we highly recommend this 17 minute video tour […]
5 Reasons We Continue to Love Full Time RVing
Taking a break from RVing every so often gives us great perspective for why we keep coming back to it as our primary living style. And why we’re investing so much into making our bus even more OUR bus. Every time we think we’re ready to hang up the keys and try something different – […]
You Deserve More than a 1-Week Vacation
The very first time I planned a 10-day semi-vacation away from my home office, my business partner just about flipped out. ‘No one takes 10-day vacations! I’ve never taken more than a week at a time!’ That was back in 2002, I was in my late 20s and I was off to the big island of […]
Tips for Storing Your RV When You Need to Leave it Behind
Whether you’re a full time RVer or seasonal, there are just times that you might need to leave your RV behind. And it’s not as simple as just closing the door behind you and hoping to return to a fresh smelling, undamaged RV. In the past 2 months, we’ve been on some non-RV adventures – like we […]
RVer’s Guide to St. Louis, Missouri
Of all the cities we have visited over the years, we have probably shared St. Louis with more of our friends than any other. Chris’ parents both grew up in the area, and he went to college at Washington University. His folks still keep a summer home south of St. Louis, so it’s a frequent stop over for us. […]
New RVing Kitchen Gadget Additions
A mistake we made in our first year on the road was buying designated camping gear for our kitchen. We learned our lesson, living in an RV doesn’t mean camping. And you don’t have to compromise. This is your home, and you can have all the amenities of any kitchen. There’s nothing that necessarily makes a […]
Eight Years as a Full Time RVer – A Letter Back to Myself Then
I woke up eight years ago this morning, bright eyed and ready to hit the road. I had spent the prior six weeks going through everything I owned, got rid of most of it and packed everything I thought I’d need for an extended road trip into a small box. It never started out as an […]
