Running Ethernet Under Sub-Optimal Conditions

June 27, 2018 eric

Rvs are not generally wired for ethernet. In fact, I've never heard of one that had ethernet run through the coach. Its also not like a house where there are voids in the walls and other cables that can be followed and used to pull cables through. With the availability of wifi, you may wonder why one would even use...

What went wrong this time?

June 26, 2018 eric

Because nothing seems to go right for us, well, ever, we had another issue with Sleipnir, another tow, and more things going wrong. We really are starting to run out of things to repair or replace, so I hope that soon this is the end of our problems, but I'm always wary of something breaking, something not working right, or...

OvaEasy Egg Crystals Review

June 20, 2018August 12, 2018 eric

I had the opportunity to try out some OvaEasy Egg crystals for an alternative to carrying around fresh eggs in our RV. Since fridge space is at a minimum, being able to use something that stored dry and lasted longer was a good idea. Here's how it worked out. First off, in our RV, we have no oven and we...

Keeping the RV Bug-Free

June 18, 2018August 12, 2018 eric

Its inevitable, bugs get inside RVs. It can't really be avoided, whether ants, flying bugs, or disgusting crawling things like roaches. This is about the flying ones though. This is about something simple and cheap: a bug zapper. We bought this little bug zapper from Amazon. I wasn't sure it would work, we never used them at home as a...

Nuwave Countertop Oven Review

June 16, 2018August 12, 2018 eric

Our RV is an older, vintage model, and did not come with an oven. As such, for the first few months of our travels, we had no way to bake anything, much to our dismay. That changed when my dad brought us a spare Nuwave oven he had, allowing us to bake things like french fries and even pizza. While...

Building a Raspberry Pi Network

June 13, 2018August 12, 2018 eric

This is mainly focused on the full time RVers reading this, but there are still ideas to be mined for others. This is the layout for how our network is getting built and what each Raspberry Pi will do in that network. I've had some new ideas recently, so while I've discussed building a Raspberry Pi network before, this is...

Gear for Traveling with Pets

June 10, 2018 eric

Many full time RVers live with pets, usually cats or dogs. Since we only have cats, that will be the focus of this list of products, but many of them can be used for dogs as well. This gear for traveling with pets isn't meant to be all-inclusive, but to give you some options of how we keep them clean,...

Computers, Networks, and How to Keep a Blog Running

June 9, 2018 eric

I'm going through what I want to have in the RV, what we already have, and what we can adapt to make work for our situation. As we are professional bloggers, it is important that we be able to connect to our followers, update the website, and be able to function with the hardware we can afford. There are many...

Split Pea Soup with Bacon. Simple, Easy Crock Pot Recipe.

June 4, 2018June 4, 2018 eric

I've gotten good at cooking things in the crock pot while on the road. This is one of those recipes which can be easily used of course in a house as well. But with minimal supplies, little room, and lots of time to let things cook, I've adapted this to life in an RV. This is my custom, unofficial, lets...

So you think you are OCD?

June 1, 2018June 7, 2018 eric

You most likely are not and instead are being offensive to those of us with OCD. I've heard it before while working. Someone cleans up a countertop, puts things where they are supposed to go and wipes everything down, then proclaims to everyone in the room, "I'm so OCD!" Well here's news for you: No, you are not. Obsessive Compulsive...
