For the Family
Less screen time, more face-to-face time
Let your kids’ curiosity run its course
Make memories of a lifetime
The White family is an adventurous group who love the outdoors as well as family time. Their trip to Granby, CO offered the perfect mix of the great outdoors and modern comfort thanks to the park model RV they stayed in. With all the amenities of home, their park model was the perfect basecamp for their winter adventure.
Tommy, Polly, and their four boys are professional kayakers, navigating even the most difficult rapids in the USA. Tommy and Polly teach their kids that they can do whatever they put their minds to, whether it's on the river or in life.
Roadschooling, like homeschooling, can take on many different forms and no one method is better than the next. You just have to find out what works best for your family.
Before we took our first RV trip, we didn’t know what to expect as a family. By the end of the trip, I couldn’t help but think about all the benefits of RV travel that we discovered as a family. Planning an RV trip with my family gave us the chance to enjoy the best of both worlds; the comfort of our home, and at the same time, being able to get outdoors and explore. It also gave us the opportunity to customize our travel to our convenience and not be stuck with the constraints of hotel checkout times and flight schedules.
We’d been out in the RV for a while and my son turned to me and said, “Dad, when I talk about home, I’m talking about the RV.” All those stories, all those places, all those memories you're imprinting on these kids that are so impressionable and that’s going to follow them around and it’s going to make them into something incredible.
There’s no better lesson to teach your kids: Never stop having adventures, never stop being curious, never stop exploring.
We wanted to connect with our kids more. We wanted to be together more because we know this time is fleeting and we’re not going to get these moments back.
We can travel, enjoy each other, and enjoy the experience. That’s what RVing is all about.
The togetherness that the family shares when we’re here is something that you can’t get from the day to day routine in your traditional home.
There’s nothing like time together with family around the campfire.
This is a great opportunity for teaching our daughters.
So, your family has decided to go RV camping and maybe you’re not as psyched as they are? After all – this can’t be a real vacation, right?! Actually, it’s probably going to be one of the best vacations you’ve ever had! I’ve been camping my whole life so I have some great tips to share with you on how to make your camping trip an awesome adventure!

Living area
Class A motorhomes come with many features similar to what you have in your house. Comfortable furnishings, larger cabinets and sinks.
Full Vanity
Large vanities and double sinks appear in some of these larger RVs.
Private Bedroom
The layout and size of a Class A allows for a private bedroom separate from the rest of the living space.
Cockpit
While there may be a couple more screens to learn about and a couple more buttons and knobs, being in the drivers seat is not dramatically different than other vehicles that may be more familiar - the back up cameras and alert systems will make newbies more comfortable with some practice.
Class A motorhomes are designed with the comforts of home in mind equipped with a full kitchen, bathroom, large living and entertainment centers. They are built on specially designed motor vehicle chassis and do not require owning a separate tow vehicle.
Spacious Living
Travel Trailers often have large living room areas and dedicated dining and kitchen space with full size appliances and large windows for lots of natural lighting.
Large Bathroom
Travel trailers are large enough to offer extra storage cabinets and full size showers and bathtubs.
Separate Bedroom
Travel Trailers are large enough to offer a private bedroom, sometimes with king size beds, and additional closet and cabinet space.
Bunk beds
In addition to couches and dinettes that convert to beds, some travel trailers have full sized bunk beds with additional storage space.
Travel Trailers are the most popular type of RV because they come in all shapes and sizes and can accommodate solo travelers all the way up to large families.
Living and kitchen area
Kitchens in fifth wheels go beyond offering full appliances and can even have a kitchen island making it seem like you are cooking in your kitchen at home.
Bunkhouse
Kids love sleeping in their own cozy spaces separated from parents. The bunkhouse is usually claimed as a fort within the first five mintues. Kids don't mind sharing a room in this setting and the conversation and fun can continue for siblings, cousins, and friends even after the lights go out.
Raised living room
The raised front section boasts a comfortable and spacious living area with large windows as well as entertainment systems.
Private Bedroom
5th wheels have ample space and are able to efficiently divide the living space and a private bedroom.
Bathroom
5th wheel bathrooms contain a full sized-shower, toilet, cabinet space and large sinks.
Fifth wheels often come with the same amenities as a motorhome or travel trailer but are constructed with a raised forward section that provides a more spacious bi-level floor plan. These models are designed to be towed by a pickup truck.
Open-air Sides
The canvas-sided sleeping areas in pop-ups allow fresh air to breeze through the RV so the user can feel like they are sleeping outdoors without sleeping on the ground.
Transforming Furniture
Tables and seating can be folded up and down for multiple uses such as eating, sitting, or sleeping.
Roomy interior
With sides that pop out, there is plenty of space for two sleeping areas and a full dining area within the pop-up.
Pop-up campers are designed for the RVer that wants to feel closer to nature and connected to the outdoors in a way that feels as though you are sleeping outside in the fresh air. Pop-ups offer plenty of room at the campground but are folded down to a more compact size for easy storage and travel.
Garage
The back of the RV drops down to create a ramp to easily access the garage for storing bikes, ATVs, kayaks, motorcycles, and other toys to bring along on the RV adventure. Some garage areas also have fold up bunk beds to increase sleeping areas while the garage is not being used.
Living area
There is plenty of space in this type of vehicle including a large living area with a kitchen, couch, entertainment system, and a full bathroom.
Private Bedroom
The larger sport utility RVs have a separate bedroom area for occupants. This can be found in travel trailers, 5th wheels and motorized sport utility RVs.
Available as travel trailers, 5th wheels, and Class A motorhomes, sport utility RVs are built for those who want to take motorcycles, dirt bikes, ATVs, or other motorized toys on the road with them while RVing. The back of the RV drops down forming a ramp for access into a garage area to easily store and access sports equipment.
