Back to Boondocking: Being Electrically Abundant in a Mostly Electric RV

Feb 13, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 49 Comments

We’ve seen it advised so many times on RVing groups and forums, if you want to boondock – you have to rely on propane for cooking, refrigeration, hot water heating and heating. If your coach is electrically dependent, don’t bother trying to boondock for long. We say.. phooey to that. It is entirely possible to feel […]

Finding Luxury Wherever You Are

Feb 10, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 21 Comments

One of my draws to the road is my love of variety. Even while living stationary, I traveled – a lot. My wanderlust and thirst for new experiences, new locations and new views has been strong for a long time. Life on the road is a fantastic balance for me. My itch is scratched on […]

Back to Boondocking: Keeping Warm while Chilly Camping

Jan 13, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 44 Comments

In our continuing series on boondocking, today we’ll be sharing some our tips for keeping warm when it gets a bit nippy out there. Boondocking is staying in places without hook-ups (water, electricity or sewer) and generally out in the boonies’. You might also hear terms like wild camping and dry camping to describe it.  Now, […]

Back to Boondocking: Extending the Holding Tanks

Jan 6, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 59 Comments

In thanks to our new solar install on the bus, we’ve been getting back to boondocking lately, and loving it. Boondocking is staying in places without hook-ups (water, electricity or sewer) and generally ‘out in the boonies’. You might also hear terms like wild camping and dry camping to describe it.  During our first 4 […]

Mobile Income on the Road Ideas – New Video

Dec 26, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 3 Comments

One of our most popular YouTube videos is a little compilation of interviews we took at a NuRVer gathering back in 2010. It’s what started our Ramblings: Tales from Nomads video series. We had some spare bandwidth at the end of our billing cycle this month, so I used the opportunity to create and upload […]

Our 12 Favorite Campsites of 2014

Dec 20, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 23 Comments

This year, we stayed in 70 different locations (yes, I counted.). And pretty much every single one of them had something special about them worth remarking on. When we sat down this year to pick our favorites, it was brutally difficult. Each spot we stopped at brings back a special memory. People we were visiting or traveling […]

3 Tips for RVing & Camping with Humans

Dec 8, 2014 by Kiki 30 Comments

Six years ago today, Cherie & Chris stopped by for a visit to a little farm in Oregon. I was 7 weeks old then and I kinda liked them. So I told them that I now own them. Little did I know what I was getting myself into. You see, these humans I decided to […]

Solar Planning: Conducting An RV Electrical Consumption Audit

Dec 5, 2014 by Chris Dunphy 34 Comments

We get asked all the time: “How much solar power do I need?” But when I reply with – “Well, how much power do you use in a day?”, I almost always get a blank stare in response. We encounter only a handful of RVers who have any idea of just how much power various electrical devices […]
