Transitioning from a traditional home to RV life was a significant change for the family. The RV’s main bathroom is conveniently located next to the kids’ room, providing easy access. The kids’ room was designed to make them feel at home, with a large closet for clothes and toys and a space for books and library visits.
The master bedroom, also serving as an office and laundry room, features a bed on the Happy Jack system, allowing for a flexible living space. The half bath has been updated with a new mirror and shelf for extra storage, making the space functional and stylish. Living on the road has strengthened the family’s bond, brought unexpected friendships, and offered countless adventures. They plan to continue traveling part-time while maintaining a home base for the kids to engage in sports and activities.
The RV’s back deck and side patio provide additional living and play areas, with a tent setup for hot days. The outdoor kitchen, equipped with a grill, griddle combo unit, and fridge, is where Melvin prepares meals daily. The multifunctional outdoor space also doubles as a gym, allowing the family to stay active on the road.
