A Yahoo discussion group -- Families On the Road -- exists to allow families who live in RVs to share information peculiar to the lifestyle. These families seem to be some of the happiest, best-adjusted on the planet. Snippets of posts from just the past 24 hours:
- We [use Verizon MiFi] cuz we have college age kids taking on line classes and a band to promote. We need more than one computer able to go on line at a time.
- We fulltime with 8! My kids are 21,19,16,14,12 and7. We have a family folk/bluegrass Gospel band. We bought a large class C. We can put 2 in the cabover bed, it has 2 bunks on the side for the 2 oldest and then the 2 littlest on the couch. We liked the class C option cuz it gave us the cabover area for another bed.
- My husband and I full-timed about 6 years ago for a year and will be returning to fulltiming this fall/winter. We have 4 kids: Hannah 9, Ethan 7, Libby 5, and Eli 1. We are excited to hit the road again. This time we will be traveling and working on permaculture sites and working on initiatives for community gardens and edible school yards. We are very excited. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to meet some of you in our travels.
- We have been RVing with Ross since he was 2yo (now 8 1/2 yo).
- You can learn more about us and our 5-year adventure traveling at http://www.roadschool.com. We pulled the boys out of public school the second week of 2nd and 4th grade. We did our own thing, never testing or following package curriculums, but selected our own text. Traditional learning was sporadic, but learning as a way of life was constant. At the age of 16 our younger son started collage after attending high school for 6 months with a 4.3 GPA and by passing the California High School Proficiency Exam. It's a test that is more rigorous than a GED or high school exit exam. Our older son is focusing his energy on home remodeling and master craftsman skills. The younger is heavy into programming. He has left me in the dust.
