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 […]
It’s All About Cats, Example #493: Creating a Pet Leash Hook on an RV
I’ve spent a lot of time leash training my people – so that they take me outside when the best hunting times are, and I stay safer by not wandering off too far (it keeps them from worrying too much). I love patrolling the nearby bushes and trees around our campsite. Long ago, they got […]
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 […]
TV & Movie Viewing Options for RVers
While we do enjoy getting out exploring our new locales, hiking in nature, visiting with friends – this RVing lifestyle for us, is about balance. There’s no shame in enjoying watching television or a good flick. This is life on the road, not a vacation. We are RVing, not just camping and spending all our […]
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 […]
My Perfect Travel Alarm Clock
I have a hard time sleeping if there’s not a clock that I can see when I open my eyes in between sleep cycles. A quick almost unconscious glance at the time keeps my rhythm on track, and gets me right back to nestling in for a few more hours of restful slumber. If I […]
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 […]
