Getting Our Daily Driver Back

I have a 2013 Honda Fit. It was the first car I ever purchased (all on my little lonesome) and the first new car I’ve ever owned. I love it. When we moved from Florida to Texas we were originally planning on towing the Honda with us. However, we weren’t…

Mike and I have been full-time living in the bus for a little over a month and there’s been a serious learning curve as we’ve adjusted to living in such a small space. So, I thought I’d address some of the things we’ve learned along the way. 1) I REALLY care…

Breaking Down on US-285

After we walked Carlsbad Caverns we picked Finn up from the kennels and headed out to Roswell. The idea was that we’d make it there in the early afternoon (it’s only about 1.5-2 hours away) and have plenty of time to find a place to park, eat dinner, and see…

Boondocking for the First Time-Update

Ok, so first of all. We didn’t end up properly boondocking this weekend. A lot of things sort of came together that made it an unappealing idea. We did, however, learn a LOT this weekend. We only paid for a campground for one night and the rest of the time…

Boondocking for the First Time! – Prep

This weekend Mike and I are going to try boondocking for the first time. So exciting! And a little scary. Boondocking is basically camping in a motorhome. We won’t have power, water, and sewer hookups. Everything we need will be on the bus. And since we are without a tow car…

School Bus Conversion-Painting the Bus

One of the first things we decided on after buying the bus was that we would need to paint it. Oh man, it was a huge and time consuming job and isn’t totally done yet. We were under the impression that is it illegal to own a yellow school bus…
