So, I promised I would write about how we found our awesome wild camping location along Magic Reservoir in Idaho a few weeks ago. There are tons of methods for finding boondocking locations, and finding a great location really comes down to how much time and effort you’re willing to put into the search. There are several styles […]

This is the second post in our series researching adding solar power to our bus. For an introduction to the project, click here. And for an index to all the articles in the series, click here. Before I dive into any geek project or major purchase, I like to do my homework and learn as […]
Technomadia’s RV Solar Challenge
I have been a fan of solar power as long as I have been living on the road. One of the first projects I tackled when I first became nomadic way back in 2006 was adding 130W of solar to the back of my tiny Tab Clamshell. I think it was my abundance of sexy solar […]
Or RV & Boat Mobile Internet Setup – How We Keep Online & Connected
Reliable mobile internet has been absolutely essential for us in our RV and cruising travels, constantly seeking out the current best options to keep abundantly online while we explore our wanderlust and work remotely.

Tried & True RVing Travel Gear We Love
Have we mentioned that we use a lot of technology to enable our travels, and that we love gizmos? We try a lot of stuff. Some of it gets repurposed pretty quickly, but some things have stuck around. Here’s some of the stuff that has made the cut to continue traveling with us: Our Mobile […]
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Distant WiFi: FlagPole Buddy & Ubiquiti NanoStation

But if a […]
Mobile Income Sources for RVers, Cruisers & Nomads: Jobs, Careers, Entrepreneurship and Workamping
Many people have dreams of long term travel, something that is more than the typical 1-2 week vacation a couple times a year (or every couple of years!). They crave a slower pace to more fully immerse themselves in different cultures and experiences. More opportunity to enjoy quality time with far flung friends and family. […]
Quick RVing Tip: Toad Light Check
A few weeks ago, our friend Chris Guld let me know that the first time they met us a year ago she was inspired by watching us check our toad’s lights. Usually we like inspiring folks for less mundane things, but we’ll go with it. She liked our system so much, that she and Jim […]
Three Years in a Vintage Bus
Has it really been three years already?!? It seems like just yesterday we were roaming around the country on a month long Amtrak pass searching for a vintage bus to become our next home on wheels. After 4 years of traveling in smaller travel trailers and having just spent a winter living in the US Virgin Islands, […]
Shopping for RV Seats in Elkhart, IN – Our Flexsteel 517 Seats, Peeling Haloleather & Replacement
When you own a bus, or well, any home actually – there’s always a to-do list a mile long of potential future projects. Our lovely Zephyr is no exception. We bought her almost 3 years ago for a song, but knowing full well that it would unending upgrade projects. So when we have access to […]
