Writing Code and Updating Websites While Traveling

March 20, 2018 eric

I used to be a web developer before I was on disability. Well, years before. My last job was actually as a delivery driver for a pizza place. I haven't professionally worked as a web developer since the early 2000's, though I have done the occasional web site for a friend or family member, as well as updating the sites...

Nearly Required Gadgets for RV Living

March 19, 2018 eric

There are a few gadgets we find absolutely necessary for living in an RV. Some are cheap, some are a bit more expensive, but all have their uses and fill a need that we sometimes didn't even know we needed to fill. Here's the list of the top items we purchased for our RV and Amazon links so you can...

Headed to Red Bay

March 18, 2018 eric

There is this little town in Alabama called Red Bay. There isn't much to the town, but the reason we are headed to Red Bay is simple, Tiffins are built there. We've had issue after issue with our RV Sleipnir, and finally decided to just make the trek here to get as much fixed as we can by people who...

Transitioning Off the Road?

March 17, 2018 eric

We've been living in our RV for eight months now. Nothing has gone well and now we are considering transitioning off the road. But how do we do that and why? Several factors come into play, our ability to afford and sustain this lifestyle, our quality of life, our ability to see doctors, and how much we are enjoying it....

Can I travel with cats and still keep them happy?

March 12, 2018March 13, 2018 Tiffany Baierl

By Tiffany Baierl, with editors Odin, Rain and Zoe So, as you probably have figured out, we have cats and when we started thinking about our RV adventure, their quality of life was definitely a huge factor in our decision to become full time RV-ers. Fortunately, we have always had multiple cats and pretty much knew how to make them...

Attempts at Bringing it all Together

March 11, 2018 eric

I've gone back and forth several times trying to make something work in our system for a central core unit that operates as a media server, smart home control hub, and file server. It seems like everything I try to do ends up in failure. My point is: Read what I go through and decide what you want to try...

Workamping

March 1, 2018 eric

This summer, we will be working on the mechanical issues in the RV. I hope to get everything fixed and running well. Next summer, we'll work on the cosmetics like redoing the flooring, painting the walls and cabinets and figuring out some way to fix the dreary blinds and curtains on the windows. After that, we'll work on the technology...

Time Management and Living in an RV

February 28, 2018 eric

Today is a cold and rainy day in Alabama. By all rights, this should give us time to take care of things inside the RV and get back into proper shape. But as can be difficult even in a traditional home, we deal with issues with time management and living in an RV. For starters, its so easy to go...

SeaFlo Macerator Pump Video Review and Installation

February 18, 2018 eric

I received a SeaFlo Macerator Pump from the manufacturer and installed it to unclog the black tank. It worked pretty well, but our clog appears to be more difficult than thought. Hopefully driving around will knock the rest loose, but we got at least half of the solids out of the tank. Video Link on YouTube! Purchase at Amazon!

Tervis Tumblers and the Lifetime Guarantee

February 14, 2018February 14, 2018 eric

Occasionally, we get asked what is necessary to have on the road and we have learned lately that it is unbreakable and leakproof items such as mugs and tumblers. We've learned that being on the move, means things tend to fall over and a cup full of liquid all over your RV carpet isn't fun, so being able to prevent...
