Eight Years as a Full Time RVer – A Letter Back to Myself Then

May 10, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 61 Comments

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 […]

Apr 20, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 20 Comments

KA-BANG!!! That’s the sound that startled me out of a the near daze I was in, zoned out in the passenger seat trying to cope with the traffic chaos.

LTTE Booster Technology Reviewed

Apr 1, 2015 by Chris Dunphy 8 Comments

I’ve just published my extensive testing results experimenting with the latest in LTTE booster technology on the RV Mobile Internet Resource Center. LTTE Boosting?!?! Not to be confused with cellular LTE boosting, LTTE boosting (Libation: Technology Tribulation Elimination) is an even more critical element of a technomad’s tech arsenal.

Introducing Xscapers – A New Generation of RVers by Escapees RV Club

Mar 18, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 42 Comments

Flash back to last spring… we were heading across country from our winter in Florida, had just caught back up with our buddies the Snowmads and were contemplating caravanning down Route 66 with them starting in St. Louis and heading west. We figured we’d then poke around the western states before our Oregon lighthouse hosting gig […]

Feb 23, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 22 Comments

You’re preparing to hit the road full time, and you’ve read all about these gadgets that other RVers make sound absolutely essential – 12v fans, better sewer hoses, power surge protectors, leveling blocks, flying drones, LED projectors, fancy kitchen gadgets and more.
