Five years ago this week, we handed over a big wad of cash to a guy in a parking lot and became vintage bus conversion owners. And, wow.. what an amazing life we’ve enjoyed with our mighty gal, Zephyr. And what a long way we’ve come! Not only do we recognize our five years with […]

Tips for RV Driveway Surfing – Being a Great Temporary Neighbor
When we first hit the road, we started getting invitations to come park in people’s driveways. I found it odd at first. Did these well intentioned folks think we couldn’t afford to stay where I thought RV’s belonged – in campgrounds? I was on a mission to prove we weren’t moochers, and could pay our […]
The Priceless Joys of Free & Cheap RV Camping
When I decided to join Chris on the road back in 2007, I really didn’t understand this whole full time RVing thing. I was used to weekend warrior type camping in my pop-up trailer. I made a reservation at a local state park, paid a fee, showed up, had neighbors 20-30 feet away with a […]
Is It Worthwhile to Renovate an Old RV? Why Not Just Buy New?
Some of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten over the years (particularly during our summer 2015 bus renovation) have been around the amount we have invested in our RV, and more particularly – why didn’t we just go buy a newer RV with all the features we wanted, rather than building them in ourselves? Is it […]

Our first week back on site in Elkhart, went pretty well. Our second week however, was a bit more of a roller coaster. Despite some set backs and continued delays, in the end lots of progress was made – and we’re happy to report, that Zephyr is currently back in the paint booth getting prepped! […]
Tips for Storing Your RV When You Need to Leave it Behind
Whether you’re a full time RVer or seasonal, there are just times that you might need to leave your RV behind. And it’s not as simple as just closing the door behind you and hoping to return to a fresh smelling, undamaged RV. In the past 2 months, we’ve been on some non-RV adventures – like we […]

We’re back from Alaska and enjoying our last few days in the Pacific Northwest. We just loved Vancouver so much on our way up, we had to return. We’ll get back to updating you on the final chapters of our Alaskan Adventure (including the RV rental, time in Seward and the return cruise south) – but right now, […]
Mobile Income on the Road Ideas – New Video
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 […]
Quick RVing Tip: Toad Light Check
A few weeks ago, our friend Chris Guld let me know that the first time they met us a year ago she was inspired by watching us check our toad’s lights. Usually we like inspiring folks for less mundane things, but we’ll go with it. She liked our system so much, that she and Jim […]
Realities of Living & Traveling in a RV Full Time
We’ve known Pace & Kyeli for a few years now, and when they came to us this past summer with their latest idea to sell most their stuff, buy an RV and hit the road – we were supportive of their enthusiasm while trying our best to set their expectations to realistic. After just five […]
