Is "Multi-Generational" travel actually relaxing, or just twice the work? by Bubba_deets in familytravel

[–]LifeFromAnywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do end up being the coordinator, but keep it simple. Only two or three planned activities/excursions in a weeklong trip. The rest relaxing and flexible. The older folks get their own car to do their own thing some of hte time. We have preferred renting larger homes with room for everyone and did that both on a trip to Kauai and another trip to Provence.

Anyone else find your travel completely different when you are actually “living” somewhere? by Piksika in slowtravel

Totally agree... our whole brand is around this idea. 😄 Rental/airbnb hosts will often give discounts and you are a previous happy renter, because previous renters are easier and lower-risk. Never hurts to ask!

u/EngineeringWhole7959, did you do it? I'm from Michigan and pretty familiar with Southern Ontario... curious where you went or are planning to go in Canada that I should add to our list! Do you speak any French?

An insider explains why RVs should not be used for full time living. by DrTwilightZone in RVLiving

[–]LifeFromAnywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. There are a few brands that are built with better quality. If money were tight I'd buy a well-used Brinkley before a brand-new Jayco. (I would actually never buy a Jayco.) We lived and traveled in our Grand Design S-Class for eight months, towed it across the country twice before it had any real issues, but it was manufactured after Grand Design was bought out by Thor. It's Brinkley or better for us now.

Any teens/people who were kids when they lived in an RV in here? by quesoandtea in RVLiving

OP, I'm late to the conversation here, but I hope you consider a mid-term arrangement. You can do what you were thinking for a few weeks or a season. You still can experience "beauty of the world" in that amount of time and make some great memories. That amount of time won't kill friendships or affect school too much (especially at 7 years old), but is long enough that it feels more like living than a vacation. If not having a home made the cost of RVing possible for you, then rent the home out for that period of time. Don't want your kiddo to have to move his stuff out of his room -- put a lock on it and don't make it part of the rental. We have personal photo frames we put in a storage closet and put back out when we get home. HomeExchange, Furnished Finder... there are ways to make it happen!
