When Air Conditioners Work Too Well
–
One morning we were surprised to wake up to a brisk 59 degree bedroom. Given that the thermostat was set on 73, obviously something was wrong. Our motorhome has dual ducted central thermostat controlled air conditioners. Although people are quick to call a repair man, issues with these units are typically easy to diagnose. Before we get into it, one thing you should know is that these units are factory filled and sealed with no way to check or fill the “freon” (also properly known as refrigerant) level.
Tionesta, PA Army Corps of Engineering Campground
–
Rated as the #1 campground in Pennsylvania on Tripblaze, we figured we had to visit this Corps of Engineering Campground. I don’t want to say we were disappointed but I think we really expected to be wowed by the #1 campground rated on any site. What we found wasn’t mediocre but other issues made for a mediocre total experience. The campground is located along the Allegheny River which sits in between two mountain ranges.
We Slept at a Rest Stop
–
We slept at a rest stop and apparently lived to tell the tale. No axe murderers and no sex criminals were detected (Big Bang Theory anyone?). After a day of biting off a bit more than we could chew, we never made it to our destination. Perhaps it was the epic argument that a careful observer might have witnessed on the live feed or problem with our toad but we burned off many hours on nothing and didn't get our driving done.
Horsham, Pennsylvania
–
Horsham, Pennsylvania happens to be on a lot of “best places to live” lists while simultaneously being the place we have lived for many years before starting out this trip. We didn’t live in Horsham proper but in the surrounding Montgomery County area. Really there is nothing we see that is particularly awesome about Horsham that isn’t available in Willow Grove, Hatfield, Lansdale, etc. Though we would generally recommend locating yourself North of the turnpike and west/north of Bensalem, the entire region is pretty nice but in our opinion slowly degrading.
What is the Travel Cam?
–
This page is a little outdated but we are leaving it here for info about the past videos. We now have a different motorhome and different camera setup.
If you’ve arrived here, you’re probably wondering what the “Travel Cam” page is. Being that we are Geeky Nomads, we thought it would be pretty cool to use our mobile internet connection, cameras and some custom made hardware to provide a live feed of our travels.
Oak Grove Park & Sales
–
Oak Grove Park & Sales is a small park in the northwestern suburbs of Philadelphia, in Hatfield, PA. Since we lived in Hatfield, we used Oak Grove as a jumping off point while we were selling our house so our multi-month stay has given us great insights into the workings of this park. Oak grove consists of what appears to be a 50⁄50 split of park models and transient sites. Oak Grove Welcome Sign
The Missing Story of Satellite TV
–
For many people TV is a big part of life, and that is no different for us. We loves our TV and though I was originally a bit embarassed about that I’ve come to embrace it. When it comes to this subject, I thought I knew a lot but nothing gives you an education quite like an RV. When we bought our motorhome, a nice feature it had was a roof mounted automatic satellite.
Who Are These People
–
Me and SO
We are a travelling family of three… and a cat. We’re in our 30’s which is a bit uncommon as far as full time RVers go. There isn’t too much more of interest than that. We aren’t hippies or artists. We take internet, tv watching and the quality of things and people we surround ourselves with seriously. We aren’t always politically correct. We are generally thick skinned and we don’t dance around self-centered whiners.

We like to keep a camera in the front of the RV as we travel and record timelapse videos. These are the results. For some videos we had camera issues and one or both cameras cut out. This was due to our use of analog cameras and terrible CAT-5 baluns. Future videos will be recorded with an HD camera so they should be a lot better. Even the older ones, you definitely want to watch in HD mode since the quality is terrible to begin with.
