In reply to Karl. We think its a great way to see the country and homeschool. They still see tons of kids (believe it or not) and the homeschool isolation can be an issue. But verall, the experience is an amazing one, if not amazingly educational. Thanks for the comment.

This article drives’ home the point that the RV lifestyle is all about family togetherness, healthy relaxation, easy convenience and old-fashioned fun. It’s those all-American values that prompted Barack Obama to tell MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough in an interview last August, “As soon as this convention is over we are loading up our kids in an RV. We are traveling around to county fairs, eating ice cream and taking our two girls to the swimming pool.

RVing full time is a life style right? Is this really the best thing to do with young children or should it really be something that you do as a retired couple? I know that the places you can go and the things that you can see would be very educational but still what about learning social skills around other kids? That is the problem I have always had with home school as well.

In reply to Donald. hi Donald, that's exactly what we did – make goals, create a bucket list of sorts as a group at the kitchen table one night. That was the seminal event and our first full-time RV experience, a decision made by the family for the family. Thanks so much for your comment!

If you, like so many millions of Americans, don’t know what it is you want sufficiently to name as your primary goal, I recommend you make out a “want list. Take a notepad, go off by yourself, and write down the things you would really like to have or to do. Your list might include a beautiful new home, or a trip around the world, or a visit to some special country or place. You might even be yearning for an outdoor excursion in an RV.

In reply to Wesley. Hah! We watched "RV" as the last training movie before we took off last June...great stuff. Especially when the sewer hose explodes. Been there unfortunately ;-)

In reply to Andrew.

Good question. My wife and I both work from home and have our own businesses. Mine is an nternet search engine optimizatin company http://www.antaresent.com and she runs a highly successful satellite services company.

All we need are our iphones, ipads and laptops and the office is anywhere! Thanks

Oh yeah, we homeschool the kids too. But traveling is a full time education for them….

How can you afford to RV full time? This is something that my aunt and uncle did for awhile but they had to sell their homes and cars and everything in order to do it. This is something I can understand doing if you are retired or you are at least retirement age but to do this as a family when the kids should be in school is something different.

I have only been to California one time and when I did go for football camp, I stayed only a week and saw only LAX airport and the University of California, where the camp was held. Despite my limited experience on the west coast, I have seen the vast mountain and forrest terrain in countless movies. I have no doubt this region is great for driving an RV, like that film with Robin Williams (“RV).
