Absolutely! We have been doing it since May 2014 with our 4 kids. The community of people living full time in an RV is growing like crazy. People are looking for the freedom and love the idea of traveling the country!
RV Living A Beginners Guide To FullTime RV Life And Achieving The Freedom Lifestyle Free 21
It sure has been one crazy adventure, but it has also been unbelievable how much we have learned about each other, our family and how we want to live our life. We want freedom. Freedom to sleep in, freedom to travel, freedom to set our own schedule. Full time RVing gives us that.
It really is a freeing feeling and is addictive and you want to learn how to live with less and less! I love that the RV lifestyle and living in a small rig without much storage space has really helped us to make this a priority and continues to push us to evaluate everything we do have and purchase.
I would think that after 3 years of full time living on the road all of our fears about this lifestyle would be gone. Nope . . . they are still there. Things like safety in an RV park, weather (I HATE storms in the RV), going somewhere new and not knowing what to expect, should we have a home base?
My use of a travel trailer will also be limited to about six months of living while we build a new home. I spent three years in my first travel trailer saving to buy my first house over 35 years ago. If I learned one thing about this life it is that no lifestyle is without cost. What seems cheap today may end up costing you in the future.
We wanted to travel across America and we calculated that buying an RV would be the quickest route for us to go and visit all 50 states. We had no idea that we would live in an RV long-term, share the lifestyle with other people, or that I would spend so much time writing about living in an RV. The rest happened because we truly fell in love with the lifestyle.
Van life is an alternative lifestyle of people who choose to live in vans or other vehicles that have been outfitted as mobile tiny homes. This nomadic way of living is characterized by minimalism, simplicity, adventure, and a reassessment of what is truly meaningful in life.
To some, #vanlife is just an escapist hashtag. To others, it represents freedom, travel, adventure, or minimalism. But to the people living it, van life is a movement, a way of life, a means of living more in harmony with ourselves, an act of resistance against the status quo.
Depending on how you live, van life may allow you to focus more time around your favorite hobbies. Maybe you want to wake up at the beach and surf all day long. Or maybe you want to spend more time hiking, rock climbing, or skiing. Or maybe you want to focus on your music, or your writing, or your artwork. Whatever hobby you have that ignites your soul, living in a van can free you up to make it a larger part of your life.
That said, van life is not a vacation, it is an alternative lifestyle. Vanlifers still need to work and make a living. The difference, though, is that you have a greater degree of freedom in determining your life. You set your own schedule, you dictate your own time, instead of someone else dictating it for you. And that freedom is what living in a van is all about.
Of course, this is terrible gas mileage compared to smaller vehicles. And given this, some people are rightly concerned about the carbon footprint of living an alternative lifestyle centered around driving large, gas-guzzling vehicles all over the place.
Nathalie and Louis say: This lifestyle is absolutely affordable! Our total monthly expenses are equivalent to the rent of a two bedroom apartment, in both of the places we are from. We are fully off grid and that keeps our cost of living minimal. The cash up front is an investment, but it has paid for itself multiple times over.
Ashley H. says: I say if living small, being debt free, traveling the world or any other reason is something someone wants to do then go for it. We get one life to live and I say we live it. The way we choose to and not the way others want us to.

As a seasoned and passionate RVing expert, I have dedicated myself to living the full-time RV life for over 5.5 years, immersing myself in the unique quirks and joys of the boondocking lifestyle and gaining a wealth of knowledge and experience along the way. In December 2020, my business partner and I made the transition to part-time RVing, but in January 2023, we hit the road once again, this time in our trusty vans. My mission is to help others embrace the RVing lifestyle with confidence and excitement, armed with the knowledge and resources needed to make the most of their adventures. I believe that the more you know, the more you can truly appreciate and enjoy the freedom and flexibility of the open road. Join me on this journey and let's make some unforgettable memories.
This was very helpful! I have been seriously thinking about RVing fulltime. Been looking at class B motor homes . I am single and have a mini doxie. I work from home. I have an amazing flexible job. As a matter of fact my boss encourages the traveling lifestyle. Im blessed. Maybe someday I might meet you on the road! ^_^ . Thank you so much! Angela
Physical education became a subject matter in schools (in the form of German and Swedish gymnastics) at the beginning of the 19th century (Hackensmith, 1966). Its role in human health was quickly recognized. By the turn of the 20th century, personal hygiene and exercise for bodily health were incorporated in the physical education curriculum as the major learning outcomes for students (Weston, 1962). The exclusive focus on health, however, was criticized by educator Thomas Wood (1913; Wood and Cassidy, 1930) as too narrow and detrimental to the development of the whole child. The education community subsequently adopted Wood's inclusive approach to physical education whereby fundamental movements and physical skills for games and sports were incorporated as the major instructional content. During the past 15 years, physical education has once again evolved to connect body movement to its consequences (e.g., physical activity and health), teaching children the science of healthful living and skills needed for an active lifestyle (NASPE, 2004).
When fitness assessment becomes part of a quality physical education program, teaching and learning strategies will guide all students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain and improve their personal health-related fitness as part of their commitment to lifelong healthy lifestyles. Teachers who incorporate fitness education as a thread throughout all curricula will make the greatest impact in engaging and motivating students to participate in vigorous- or moderate-intensity physical activity in order to maintain and/or improve their personal health-related fitness. For example, the development of the Presidential Youth Fitness Program with the use of a criterion-referenced platform provides students with the educational benefits of fitness assessment knowledge (see Box 5-2). The emergence of one national fitness assessment, Fitnessgram, along with professional development and recognition protocols, further supports fitness education in the school environment. 2ff7e9595c
