    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    This family of 6 hit the road to find freedom from the 9-5. Also, they found it very important to not only home school their kids from the road, they felt as though it was a much better education than the typical method. I have said this over and over again, the education kids get on the road, both IQ & EQ, is one of the most unique experiences out there. When you have your geology lesson at Zion National Park, you might just pick up more there than in a classroom.

    In regards to the worktop situation,
    Have you thought about getting a piece of wood to sit over your sink for extra work space / chopping board? And with the end that's nearer to the couch would you have room to fit a smaller worktop on the side with a hinge and a support arm that way it could be put up and down as you need it? watch loads of these tiny homes videos so I'm getting my ideas from the there, full disclosure 😉 safe and happy trails to you all

    Very nice. I personally feel that children living nomadic will be smarter and more secure as well as learning the importance of family, sharing and being conservative. Not to mention the benefits of home schooling. Having both parents involved in the kuds' daily lives and truly experiencing and visiting things & places will only make for a well rounded education. Best of luck. Be safe.

      I recently had them after a funeral of my husband's aunt, and it was the first time I had heard them referred to as that. But basically they are like hash brown potatoes (the shredded kind) made with cheese and sour cream I believe (not sure if anything else is in there) and then they're topped with crushed potato chips or you can use crushed corn flakes. They're really good, and you may have had them before but not referred to as funeral potatoes lol. I know I've had them before and hadn't heard that before last week's funeral.

    Question?? Why do you need a “Private” parent bedroom??????? Don’t they co-sleep?
    How do you find a ball of fire man like this, an over achiever?? Do you advertise? This would be my dream man come true. I’m sure he’s well read and educated to be able to support a family remotely from his school bus! Such a lucky lucky wife! Good to see they are big time readers, I’m sure this will be passed to their young ones!!! Mom must be extra special herself to Home School all her children! This is not an easy task! Very hard work! Such a happy well rounded family ❤

    I totally agree that the parents should have privacy but tbh it's very selfish of them to have a whole ass room while the kids get little bunks that they can't even sit up in. I feel extra bad for the oldest daughter (they didn't introduce her cuz she was away but she is in the thumbnail) because this is a time in her life that she might want a little privacy more than ever. I am all for bus life but it aggravates me when parents give themselves tons of space but the kids barely get room to even sit up in their own "room". This could probably work for younger kids though. Just my opinion and I am not in their position and I don't know how the kids feel so don't think I am judging them
