Have you ever had a vision and then came back 4 years later and realized – you totally found the exact right people to share that vision with? I’m not sure I’m ever going to be able to adequately convey just what the past 3 weeks has meant to us as we have re-immersed ourselves […]

Our RV, Van & Boat Mobile Internet Setup – 18 Years of Keeping Online (Updated: March 2024)
When we first hit the road in 2006 to travel full-time, being able to work remotely utilizing mobile internet was absolutely essential in pursuing our nomadic dreams. We started off in a super tiny travel trailer, we were working remotely as software developers and technology consultants. While we were self employed, at the time we […]
We Bought a House…. !! Our Long Term RVing Plans at SKP Saguaro Co-Op in Benson, AZ
Ok.. well, not technically. First, we didn’t buy property. We purchased a lifetime lease. Next, it’s not really a ‘house’ but an RV lot with a casita. But still, we’re super excited to have finally reached this milestone that has been in the works for over two years and all part of our long term […]
The RV Entrepreneur Summit 2018 – Recap (#RVESummit)
We just wrapped up an amazing time at The RV Entrepreneur Summit in Fredericksburg, TX – held at Jellystone RV Park (awesome park!). This conference is founded and hosted by Heath & Alyssa Padgett, who also produce an awesome podcast interviewing working on the road RVers. This is the second year for the summit with […]
Hiding out in Texas – Getting Ready for The RV Entrepreneur Summit
When we were imaging our road trip from Florida to Texas, we had in our minds we’d be able to squeeze in several 3-4 night stops in awesome places along the way. We’d have time to chill out in wooded campsites, enjoy nature, hiking trails and get some work done too. Sometimes, the vision doesn’t […]
The 56th Escapade: Escapees / Xscapers RV Rally – Essex Junction, VT
We’re not ‘rally’ people. But there’s one large scale rally that we keep coming back to, and that’s the Escapade – organized by the Escapee’s RV Club. It has a special place in our hearts. But honestly, the thought of going this year sent us into tremors several times leading up to the event. We […]
Happy Birthday Xscapers & RVillage (and our Book too!)
March seems to be a birth month of amazing projects in the RVing community. Today we wanted to take a moment and honor two of them we were blessed to be involved with. Happy First Birthday, Xscapers! A year ago today, we were in Tucson, AZ hanging out with the Escapee’s staff – all nervously […]
Another Xscapers Convergence for the History Books: Quartzsite, Arizona 2016
For many years, the Escapees RV Club has had a presence at the big Quartzsite winter event that brings hundreds of thousands of RVers to one huge spit of desert. We attended the Quartzsite fun for the very first time last winter, and were blown away by the variety of places to camp, things to […]
What can a Boondocker Learn from a Martian?
Last evening we hosted an outdoor movie night for our fellow Xscapers friends camped with us at the after-convergence here in Quartzsite. (The main convergence was a huge success, and several of us have retreated further into the desert to continue the bonding – only away from the freeway and much more spread out.) The movie selected […]
Guide to RVing at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
Four years ago, we made a last minute decision to route through Albuquerque rather than across Colorado on our first bus trip east. We were warned that RV parking might be scarce however, because there was this balloon thingie going on. We scored a last minute site about 40 minutes outside of town, and decided to […]
