Finding the best RV cargo carrier solves the age-old RVing problem of not enough space for all the toys we want with us on our camping trips. But is an RV cargo carrier right for you? Today, I want to talk about two high-end RV cargo carriers that I’ve tested on our previous RVs: the […]
With no notice, AT&T delivered a nasty Christmas lump of coal to RVers who had signed up for that $360 annual plan for unlimited 4G LTE service via the Togo Roadlink C2 wifi extender and cellular hotspot. It obviously caught the Togo people off guard, too, as here's their official announcement: “AT&T has informed Togo […]Read More
Let me first say Jennifer and I are not big TV watchers. Maybe some news. The Weather Channel during weather events. A movie now and then. In the RV we now have, we have two televisions, one up front, the other in the rear lounge. It came that way. A switcher in the entertainment cabinet […]Read More

We just upgraded the power system on our 2019 Leisure Travel Vans Unity FX. If you are a regular reader, you know Jen and I love to boondock, off the grid, for multiple days. With the two AGM coach batteries we had in our Unity (we upgraded from the stock lead acid 6 volt batteries […]Read More
Unboxing, installation and testing of our new redundant mobile Internet system
Most RVers need to be connected on the road to the Internet, some of us more than others. For those digital nomads who depend on the Internet to work from the road like Jennifer and me, having a redundant, backup way of going online is a must. To cut to the chase, click the image […]Read More
The camping season is here again and we can help! We rely heavily on apps to help us get from place to place, to find the right spots to camp and to find things to do out there on the road. So we want to show you our favorite 10. Now we use the iPhone […]Read More
“Not all those who wander are lost,” so wrote J. R. R. Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings. It is so true when it comes to traveling across the continent in our motorhome.. We love to meander, to take roads less traveled, off the Interstate. But even the Interstates are fun, especially out of urban areas. […]Read More
