Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Full-timing with kids?
Permalink  

Since I have 3 children and can't imagine living in an RV with them full-time, I'm curious if there are families out there who are full-timing with children.

What are the biggest trials to living in a small space and being on the road most days?  How long are you driving at a time?  (A few hours, a few days?)  How long do you stay in one spot when you stop?

How do you stay sane?  How do you keep the kids happy?

Are you glad you're doing it?

To get you started....

Here's a family with 5 kids who FT in a 32 footer
and
Families on the Road (FOTR) site with lots of families to check out
and
WOW, a family with twins and a dog that is FT on BICYCLES from Alaska to Argentina!

Also, there are countless FT family blogs and info out there. Try Googling several different forms of RV and /family/kids/"full time"/"road school"/etc...

Good luck!

I'm new to this FT'ing with 3 kids thing too. We are currently living in Bend, OR and both got laid off in the last few months. It's hard finding a job here right now and we've got an opportunity to go up to WA for 6 weeks and work. So instead of paying rent at a place we won't be at we are in the process of packing our things into storage and taking off. After the 6 weeks of work in WA we'd like to head south and work/play for the winter. We're looking at national parks, dude ranches, campgrounds and odd jobs.
I'm a bit nervous but also excited and trusting that it will all work out and we'll come out of this in 6 months or 6 years happy, loving and having experienced a whole bunch of life together.
Let's keep in touch on our journies. Perhaps we'll cross paths.
