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 […]

Urban RVing in New York City – Liberty Harbor RV Park

Two Weeks Exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway
In continuing our summer van adventure, we departed our Harvest Hosts stay in South Carolina and made our way to provision for our next adventure. We had decided to hop on the Blue Ridge Parkway and follow it north. The cooler temperatures, a slow meandering pace, scenic views and more seclusion called us. While we’ve […]
First Week Back on the Road: Exploring Georgia
It’s hard to believe two weeks ago we pulled out of Sanford, leaving our boat behind, for an extended van trip of following serendipity.

Back to Cruising – Dolphin Quest! St Johns River Northbound from Sanford to Jacksonville
We’ve been semi-stationary aboard our boat since March of 2020, making Sanford Florida our pandemic home base. We haven’t been completely stationary though.

And we’ve been taking the boat out anchoring down the […]
