A few weeks ago in the Internet for RVers & Cruisers group we host on Facebook – we had a member make the claim that it’s impossible to really be on the road visiting cool locations AND get enough mobile internet to stream video. We beg to differ – it’s completely possible if it’s enough of […]

Preparing for Cruising in the Everglades: Garmin inReach Explorer+ Satellite Communicator
We’re making our way south after our extended stay in Fort Myers towards the Florida Keys. The upcoming route will have us cruising through the Everglades, with some reported amazing anchorages along the way. The problem however is that cellular connectivity is likely to be a challenge. Our app Coverage? shows Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint […]
Re-Introducing ‘Coverage?’ – Carrier’s Coverage Maps in Your Pocket, Now Available for Android Too!
Nearly 7-years ago in the middle of a crazy cross-country repositioning, we prepaid for a campsite in a beautiful location surrounded by wild flowers in Colorado for 3 days. We had great signal on our cellular devices and decided to plop down and get some work done. A few hours later, our carriers started sending us […]
The Florida RV SuperShow & Self-Driving RVs?!?
We’ve been in Florida during winters before when the big Florida RV SuperShow happens in Tampa. Being averse to crowds, we had never made attending a priority. I honestly hadn’t really even looked at the dates to realize we’d be in the area until an e-mail showed up that basically said: Would you like to […]
Video Streaming on the Road Tips: How to use HDMI Adapters with Smartphones & Tablets
While we’re on vacation this week, we thought we’d share an excerpt out of a new guide we just released over at RVMobileInternet about video streaming. Getting your TV and media fix while being mobile is definitely an element of RVing that has gotten substantially easier over the years. Streaming Video over Cellular Data So often […]
Big RV: Little Generator – Downsizing to a 2500W Propane Generator
If you were hanging around our little corner of the web this time last year, then you might remember we had a few little BUNCH of modifications made to our bus. One of the projects we tackled was downsizing from a 7500 watt diesel generator to a 2500 watt propane powered one. We had a lot of […]
Running an RV AC off Solar, Batteries, and a Hybrid Boosting Inverter
We’re currently driveway surfing with friends in coastal Georgia, where it’s pretty darn hot (and crazy humid!) as the summer fast approaches. They only have a 15A power outlet on a front porch available for us to plug a long extension cord into, which for many RVs would mean blowing breakers or limping along without […]
Now Available: The Mobile Internet Handbook – 2016 US RVers Edition
Whew.. after several weeks of non-stop writing as we’ve been making miles across the southwest… we’re excited to announce that the completely updated 2016 Edition of our book, The Mobile Internet Handbook, is now available in PDF, Kindle & iBooks and print formats! What’s New? Well… Almost EVERYTHING! We set off intending to just do […]
RV Solar: Is It Worth It?
We absolutely love living in a solar powered RV. But as awesome as solar can be, it is NOT for everyone. A lot of RVers seem to think that a few hundred watts of solar will magically give them absolute electrical independence (even running air conditioners!) with an investment that will pay for itself in […]
My Perfect Travel Alarm Clock
I have a hard time sleeping if there’s not a clock that I can see when I open my eyes in between sleep cycles. A quick almost unconscious glance at the time keeps my rhythm on track, and gets me right back to nestling in for a few more hours of restful slumber. If I […]
