Last year we went out on a van adventure, starting in Florida to Oregon, Arizona and back again. And we recorded what RV mobile internet options we used at each stop. We’ve shared the travelogues from each segment on this blog if you want to dive into the trip details. We thought it would also […]

Finding Campgrounds & RV Camping with Nearby Biking Trails
Ever since we got our eBikes, we have made it a mission to seek out great biking trails. But not just any biking trail, we really love trails that are easily accessible – right from where we are staying in our van, bus or boat. We do still frequently seek out cool trails and trailheads to break up […]
A Nomadic Fleet: Vintage Bus, Camper Van and Boat
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 […]
Our Favorite RVing Accessories for our Travato GL Camper Van
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The 12 RVs of Technomadia – Class A, B, C and Towables, Which is Better?
Earlier this month we recognized both my 13th ‘Nomadiversary’ and one year since we added our Winnebago Travato camper van to our nomadic fleet. As we were reminiscing about our years on the road, we counted up the number of RVs we’ve traveled or lived in. We couldn’t believe it when we came up with […]
Traveling with a Bus & Van: Convoying Two RVs
One of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten since we traded in our MINI Cooper for a Class-B Winnebago Travato van conversion was – do we flat tow the van behind our motorhome? And nope, the Dodge ProMaster chassis is not flat towable. And our bus conversion really isn’t meant for towing much of anything […]
Travato Van Mods for Living & Working on the Road – 3 Month Full Time Update
It’s hard to believe – we have been in our 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G for nearly 3 months as our home base. It all started with wanting to be with my mom back in early August for her surgery and then evacuating for Hurricane Dorian. Since the boat was already hauled out, we decided to […]
