    Short bus vs van for boondocking?

    Hi all, We’re finding some trouble with our bus, it’s at the mechanic now and we’re waiting on news but they’re backed up and it might be a little bit. I don’t have high hopes and the way I often cope with things is by thinking about contingency plans for the what ifs because it makes me feel...

    Traction boards for a bus?

    Hi all, We've got a 26 ft shuttle bus with rear drive and duallys (not sure if I'm spelling/saying that right) on the back.  We'd like to get traction boards (think that's the right term?) or something like that to keep with us in case we get stuck, but are not sure if we need a particular kind...

    New nomad channel in ASL & English both

    I’m not totally sure I’m putting this in the right place, but this is my best guess. I wanted to share with you all my spouse’s new YouTube channel, Traveling CODA, all about our nomad journey as we go along, and the places we go and people we meet. It’s filmed in American Sign Language, but...

    Fridge/freezer? I feel confused

    Hi all. We found our rig (woo!), a 26 foot shuttle bus. It’s the cutest and we love it. One of the many things to figure out is a fridge/freezer situation.

    Filtering water?

    Tips for van shopping from Alaska?

    Hi all. :) Our hopeful plan of using my my mom’s vintage travel trailer to get on the road is looking a little dashed due to repair costs, so we’re now looking at buying a van or possibly a very small bus to make our first home on the road. (We’ve thought about RVs, too, but Amy, my spouse, is...

    Amphibians/reptiles on the road?

    Hi all, So I know walking into this question that it would be pretty difficult to do, but I’m hoping folks will read with a problem-solving mindset. My spouse and I are looking at getting on the road sometime in the next year in a small travel trailer (16 foot including hitch) and we don’t know...

    Hello from Alaska :)

    Hi all. :) I’ve been watching Bob’s channel for years but my spouse, Amy, and I are just beginning our walk into nomad life. She lost her job recently due to COVID-19, and in the last week and a half we’ve moved from Florida, where she’s from, to Alaska, where I’m from, for the time being. My...
