Our First RV Trip to Canada – Exploring Southern Ontario, Border Crossing, Internet & Money

Sep 6, 2022 by Cherie Ve Ard 12 Comments

Can you believe that in our 16 years of full timing we have never RV’d in Canada? Yeah. We can’t either. We have however visited Canada many times by cruise ship, train and car. So this summer, we decided it was well past time we finally crossed over with an RV as well for a […]

Baring It All – Skinny Dipping at Nude RV Parks

Aug 9, 2022 by Cherie Ve Ard 13 Comments

Have you ever stayed at a nudist RV park? We recently decided it was time for us to experience one for the first time in our travels. While neither us would identify as a naturist – we actually enjoy wearing clothing too – we have always been comfortable being in clothing optional situations. And it’s […]

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 […]

Happy 5th Birthday, Y-Not! Boat Project Updates – Flooring, Composting Toilet & More

Mar 13, 2022 by Cherie Ve Ard 8 Comments

This week marks five years since we took ownership of Y-Not, our 1999 Bayliner 4788. Crazy how time flies! And what an incredible journey into the cruising lifestyle it has been! It’s been a few years since we’ve done a major update on boat improvements, projects and modifications we’ve done – so we thought this […]

Quick RV Interior Tour of Zephyr, our 1961 GM 4106 Vintage Bus

Jan 25, 2022 by Cherie Ve Ard 2 Comments

Before we left Benson, we filmed a quick video tour of the interior of Zephyr since it’s been so long since we’ve shared much about our vintage bus conversion. So, here it is: If you’d prefer a photo walk-thru or want more information on the various projects we’ve done over the years, head on over […]

Re-Covering our Flexsteel Motorhome Captain’s Seats in the Bus – Haloleather Fail

Dec 16, 2021 by Cherie Ve Ard 12 Comments

Now that we’re back to Zephyr at our winter home base in Benson, AZ – it was time to tackle a pretty major pending project we had left from our last visit. When got Zephyr out of storage in 2019, we were disappointed to discover that the our two front Flexsteel captains chairs were peeling. […]

Our Favorite RVing Accessories for our Travato GL Camper Van

Nov 16, 2021 by Cherie Ve Ard 14 Comments

We have now owned our 2020.5 Winnebago Travato GL almost a year, and we had a 2016 version of the model before that starting in 2019. In our years of traveling in our van for both short and extended trips (including the 3 months cross country trip we just competed), we’ve collected a bunch of […]

Boat Upgrade: Inflatable Hot Tub on a Bayliner 4788

Oct 31, 2021 by Cherie Ve Ard 10 Comments

Before we bought our boat Y-Not in 2017, we of course deeply researched the Bayliner 4788 model. And we were very intrigued when we found posts from a few owners who had added hot tubs to the flybridge successfully. We love getting in hot water – would we be able to someday add a hot […]

Sep 10, 2021 by Cherie Ve Ard 10 Comments

First, our video version of these tips: Tip 1: Ideal RV Size The Blue Ridge Parkway was […]
