Once you’ve been on the road a while, you inevitably start to accumulate a ton of photos. And not all of them blog worthy shots. In fact, some of them might be downright awful. Like those shots of inside your pocket, blurry attempts at capturing a rainbow, or hundreds of photos trying to capture your […]

Our New eBikes Have Arrived: e-Joe EPIK Swan Folding Electric Bikes
We posted that we were searching for new eBikes back in October 2020. The e-Joe EPIK SEs we acquired in 2015 had reached the end of their useful life – and we were itching for something that would get us back out riding. We shared what we were looking for in new eBikes – and the […]
Starlink & 5G – Future of Mobile Internet for RVers and Boaters: Are We Excited??
The internet is all abuzz about Starlink satellite internet and 5G cellular. Will these two emerging new technologies live up to the hype as a mobile internet solution for RVers and boaters? As part of our day job over at the Mobile Internet Resource Center we’ve been closely tracking both 5G and Starlink for years. We […]
Winnebago Travato K vs G – Floor Plan Showdown
We recently joined up with our friends Jen & Deas (NealysonWheels) and Kristin & Katy (Snowmads) in South Carolina for an impromptu van meetup. Our first time leaving the state of Florida since the pandemic began. We’ve known all of these guys for many years, having rendezvoused across the country as full time RVers – […]
Upgrading to a 2020.5 Winnebago Travato GL from 2016 Travato G – Was it Worth It?
We’ve now had Blooper, our new-to-us 2020.5 Travato GL, for 3 months. And we’ve been asked multiple times if the upgrade from our 2016 Travato G (Cooper) has been worth it, and if the upgrade addressed our complaints we shared back in September. So now that we have several camping trips under our belt with […]
Gloomy Days – Pandemic Fatigue? Winter Blues? Weight of the World?
I’ve been feeling it extra hard the past few days. I felt so alone in my feelings of overwhelm, frustration and lack of hope. I found I was losing my ability to read compassion and empathy into communications, and was overly triggered. Things people would say just lead me deeper into depression and seeing myself […]
Celebrating Ten Years of ‘Coverage?’ in the App Store – 3G, 4G, 5G!
Ten years ago today we launched our second app – ‘Coverage?‘. Ten years in the App Store. Wow! ‘Coverage?’ was launched way back in the era of 3G and sparse coverage maps that were more dead zone than not in many parts of the country. Having the ability to carry your own personalized coverage maps […]
Time For New eBikes for our Bus, Van and Boat Life (Farewell e-Joe Epik SE)
Five years ago we were on the hunt for our first folding electric bikes, and we had a very particular requirement – the bikes needed to fold up small enough to store in the front luggage bay on our bus. There was just no place to store full-size bikes with the way the bus and […]
Winnebago 2016 Travato 59G Design Flaws – Time For a New Van?
It’s now been 16 months since we purchased our van Coopernicus – a 2016 Winnebago Travato G. Over that timeframe, the van has been our daily driver, our get-away adventure vehicle, our shuttle craft and our hurricane escape pod. We’ve taken Cooper on a long extended cross country trip (all the way to Arizona!), and on […]
Nomads on Pause: Our Longest Stay Yet!
Five months ago we arrived back to Sanford, Florida – a favorite stop in our prior travels that felt most like home to us. Effectively putting nomadic life on pause as we wait out the pandemic and the craziness of the world. This now marks our longest stay in one place since we hit the […]
