We’ve been full-timing in Rover for six months now. I might as well get it out of the way now—holy crap, it’s been half a year already?!? Rover feels like a home to us, we can go pretty much anywhere (weather permitting), the dogs have adjusted well, and we get to visit places we haven’t...

Update December 2015: Google changed something in late 2015 and as far as I can tell, it is no longer possible to manually set your home location. The only alternative I’ve found is if you use the Google app on your phone and allow it to track your location, the location will carry over to...

After our repair stop-over at our RV dealer in Tampa, Lazydays, we had to make a couple of changes to our original plan. Originally after Lazydays, we planned to head to Carrabelle FL (near Tallahassee). Unfortunately they needed to order a few more parts to fix our side-view camera. That meant we had to stay relatively close...

In the six months since moving into Rover, we’ve traveled from Tampa Florida to Peterborough New Hampshire and back. We’ve challenged the narrow, bumpy, and expensive route onto Long Island NY, the steep and winding local highways through the Vermont mountains, and countless of miles of US Interstates. Our GPS has faithfully kept track of every mile....

Our last two weeks have been a little different than usual. Since we were back in Florida we decided to have our Tampa RV dealer, Lazydays, repair a bunch of little issues that have cropped up during our first six months. Rover has a one-year warranty so we’re about halfway through it. Fortunately we’ve had no...

After Savannah it was time to head to Universal Orlando (yay!). The last time we were there, they were still constructing the new Harry Potter section, so we only caught a glimpse of it from behind fences. We also timed this visit to meet up with Gray and Cindy again during their van-based travels through...

Our next stop on our return trip south was Savannah Georgia. We stayed at a beautiful campsite in Skidaway Island State Park, with huge sites, towering trees draped with spanish moss, and plenty of hiking trails to walk with the dogs. The only downside to the campground was the large number of mosquitos—even with our...

After Dragoncon we spent a week and a half in Augusta Georgia. It wasn’t on our list of places to visit, but it was a good halfway point (give or take) on our way to Myrtle Beach, which we were headed to for our first RV Rally. I’m both embarrassed and pleased to report that...

Last week was a whirlwind of activity as we attended our second Dragoncon. For those not in the know, Dragoncon is an enormous science fiction/fantasy convention held annually in Atlanta. It’s similar to the more famous Comic-Con but rather than a corporate-sponsored event it’s a 100% volunteer-driven convention. Estimates for 2014 attendance are in the 60,000...

From Wytheville, VA we made our way to Sylva, NC as we moved inexorably back down south towards Atlanta. Sylva, NC would be our last stop where the weather would be perfect. We stayed at a great little campground called Moonshine Creek right in the mountains. We had a pretty awesome site where the...
