Yep not all teenagers are rebellious. I’m 64 but when I was 12 our family of 7 traveled in a VW bus from May to August. When weather was pleasant we slept in our sleeping bags under the stars. When it was raining, we all slept in the bus. Our dad had made a plywood “bed” to fit across the tops of seats. Mom and dad slept on that, oldest siblings underneath it on the floor of bus, youngest ones in the back trunk which was uncomfortably warm, since the engine was actually underneath the trunk. We made a huge loop around the U.S. We still reminisce about that summer of 1970. So many memories. This was without A/C too.

I’m assuming by your comment that you’re getting pushback from folks who don’t think you should take your kids out on the road. They are probably just envious because they never did it. Home school kids tend to be better rounded, they learn more about the world around them and one family I know of purposefully visits places that have charity outreaches so their children are exposed to helping others from an early age. The children are taught contributing to the family unit and they also learn that they don’t get their own way every time. Mom is there for them instead of in a job keeping her away from home for hours on end and their son has dad teaching him small lessons that will stand him in good stead some day. Brother and sister get along great (it’s not always hearts and roses). They have their ups and downs, it would be foolish to think they didn’t. Their daughter is learning that she may have to leave her friends but she will get to see them again since mom and dad meet up with those kids parents frequently. They are healthy children and there isn’t any of the clinginess you frequently see in little ones. I was getting ready to say I was looking forward to seeing your truck when it’s complete. I have frequently heard from people who live their lives on the road that they also received much criticism from friends and family. Don’t let it stop you! Grandma and grandpa can get their own caravan and come with you if they are so worried about seeing the grandkids!

I totally agree with the idea of doing home schooling as opposed to public schooling….even better is private schooling…specially if the private school is known for being real good…public school teachers are terrible, some are good I am sure. Bullying is another reason that makes public schools bad…the bullying comes from all directions, from the administration, the teachers and the other students….public schools should not be judged by their success stories rather they should be held accountable for their failures….one can accomplish in two hours in a home schooling setting what the public schools do in 6 hours…for my taste i much rather live in a 3000 square feet house, send my 1 son to private school and travel during summer time…

This is so amazing to see you guys express the enjoyment from giving up your home to live in a RV. I know it’s a beautiful thing just from how everyone from the family spoke. Extremely inspiring for other RV family to experience. You should find time to visit Belize 🇧🇿. Belize is a multicultural country that you’ll get to know about the creol, garinagus, the Mayans, etc.

That's a monster RV and has all the good stuff with everything covered imaginable. I'd be happy with a queen bed and more space around it. Pretty amazing. Bet it was a pretty penny!

I love this story so much ! I fell in love with the idea of full time RVing in 2011. I had become disabled and was spending lots of time on line watching many families taking off to explore our beautiful country. I loved the idea of road school too. But due to my illness it was just poor timing. Our youngest was in middle school. And my husband had taken on extra work to make up for my lost salary. So for us it didn’t happen. But I have watched and enjoyed seeing families have precious time together. Before I knew it my youngest was 17 and off to college. She is one year away from becoming a doctor. We get to travel about 4 times to year to amazing places with her when she does internships. We did buy a class A and she almost stayed in it for an internship but unfortunately I became ill and an air B & B worked out that time. But I was overjoyed that she wanted to stay in the Rv. Then she and a friend stayed in it once. I would still be very open to traveling. But we started a husky rescue. And I haven’t found a place where we could stay with lots of huskies, lol. Currently we are planning a big move to live closer to our daughter. And it’s in a very sought after area. So at least we can live close to her. But nothing could possibly compare to being with family everyday. When we go rent a house for a month in nice places when our daughter is working at a hospital we enjoy every second. Her days off are spent sightseeing with us. We missed the boat on going with our young children. Please don’t let that happen to you. Time with the children is so short. 18 years goes by in a flash. It’s so worth having that time together. You can always come back to the sticks and bricks house. But you will never have the opportunity to be with your family everyday seeing all the sights if you don’t seize the opportunity. Once they are off to college, grad school and working in their chosen career it’s just too late. You might get awesome vacations a few times a year witch I highly encourage you to do. Those young school age years get away from you. And road school has got to be the best school in my opinion. The children learn first hand by visiting every possible place in the country to learn about all subjects. Road school children are so smart! Just do it. If you say I can’t afford it look into it. More jobs are becoming remote. And you can work a few hours a day and spend the rest of the time enjoying life with your children. Couples you too. I have always said couples need to travel away together for a while away from family to learn to lean on each other. And the single person it’s definitely possible. Who knows you might meet that special person to travel with out at some amazing place. And please if you go get on KZread and tell us about it. Those of us who just didn’t make it on the road. We want to hear all about it. Stay safe and remember time with family is the most important thing second is seeing this gorgeous place God made for us. God bless ! Leslye

That is a long time to be on the road hating it! Yes, there are repairs and mishaps but it is a sacrifice we are willing to make to have all these experiences together as a family. I agree with you that it is not always rainbows and sunshine, but I feel the positives outweigh the negaives!

such a thoughtful home and a beautiful positive minded family and mum!

Awww thanks!

I always loved going camping with my grandparents. A big portion of my life was camping and let me tell you I always looked forward to it. If I could do it again, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

@Just Be Both are technically camping, as are rustic cabins. I assume you are referring to tent camping. Tent camping is absolutely more "roughing it" than we do! I also would not tell people we are fulltime campers, we say we are fulltime RVers. Its not vacationing 24/7 either.

What a great story! I think this family should do a weekly KZread channel!

You are so kind to say that. We are on Instagram. Our friends who KZread say it is hours upon hours to edit a 15 min episode. Eek!

@@sojourning_smiths You would be amazed at what becomes a regular thing, when you do it two or three times. It is a good income after a while and all sort of new ideas for business might come from it. But up to you. Wishing you a Happy New Year with all the Blessings therein!

No solar?????? Diesel generators are no Bueno. But, what an incredible experience for your family! And what a great rig. But no solar?? That’s a head scratcher.

We have a trickle charge solar for our fridge etc. but the cost of installing solar didn’t prove cost effective. We have a camping membership that includes full hook up sites so we typically plan our routes & choose those parks to stay at.

This is real love and unity, I love your story, I enjoyed your story, watching from Barbados, God has been good to u, I love your home, wish u the best in life

This is an incredibly beautiful coach! I looked at this model because I needed 2 full baths, but the queen bed was an absolute no-go with 2 large dogs.

I think that this is so awesome. I would love to do this after I retire. Thanks for sharing your story.

I just wanna say I love this family. The vibe is all good vibes. Thank you so much. I learned so much information from this one video than what I have actually been learning since 2020. I hope to be doing the same with myself and my three boys and doing exactly what you were doing. You are such an inspiration. I am so glad I found your story!

Wow, luxury on wheels! I am jealous of you guys 😊. I wish I could also go on this RV journey. Stay safe and enjoy the life together as a close knit family. Wishes from South Africa 👋
