I’m honored to be chosen once again as a presenter for both the RTR and WRTR this season. Here are my dates for the WRTR:
Monday Happy Hour (3-4 PM)
- CALM, SMART & AWARE: Solo Woman Nomad Safety With A Twist
Tuesday Happy Hour (3-4 PM)
- SEVERE WEATHER FOR NOMADS: Staying Safe on the Road
Wednesday Happy Hour (3-4 PM)
- STORM SIGNALS: A Beginner’s Guide to Deciphering Doppler Radar
I’m not sure yet about my RTR dates and times, but here are the two sessions I’ll be presenting:
- Creative & Emotional Survival for Nomads: Staying Grounded, Focused and Resilient on the Road
- Storm Safety for Nomads: A 5-Minute Decision System That Saves Lives
Really looking forward to giving these presentations! All but one are brand new, and the older one (Severe Weather) will be updated.

Replacing My Passive Roof Vent With A FANtastic Fan, Part 2
No way did I want to deal with a fire or get that blasted blade stuck in there. So I reversed the drill and backed it out, stopping to consider my options. I’d originally chosen that blade so I would have a bit of maneuvering room for my fingers in pushing the wires through the insulation. But that was solely for my convenience, and wasn’t completely necessary. All that was really important was that the wires got through.
Replacing My Passive Roof Vent With A FANtastic Fan, Part 1
I love watching clouds, especially building storm clouds. They’re so pretty and visually dramatic. But I don’t really love seeing them when I know that right underneath, I need to be sitting ten feet up on an RV roof, ripping out an old vent, leaving a big hole, and having to get the new one dropped in, fastened, and the seams sealed before anything starts dropping out of those clouds!
On the Road: Route Planning
One of the things I hadn’t really thought about before I got on the road full time was how much time I would have to spend planning driving routes. Realizing these issues, I quickly got on board with using online tools and mobile apps to help me plan my routes.
