I think i'd need 4 of them in a row to be able to live under the same roof with a man.. ;) Yeah..love a man but he has to sleep and snore away from me and have his own bathroom too.
With Ryan's ruclips.net/user/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
I am the oldest of four kids. We spent every single minute from April-October on our 32' boat. Now, parents divorced and no one talks to anyone else. This family is very special and I'm so happy to see them make it work, the kids look so happy and well adjusted!!
We raised our 3 children with mostly hanging together. We lived in the country with almost no internet therefore, no computers, no TV, no cell phones. Just being together and doing creative things. I think if they start off like that or if it becomes that, it works. Both parents are scientists.
Most of the world kids share bedrooms. My daughters did, when they were little, and look back on the shared bed , later bunk beds, and bedroom very fondly. I still remember their games and inside jokes.
Airstream IS the Cadillac of RV's. My husband and I had two of them in the 1990's. When he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1996, traveling became quite difficult and our time with RV-ing came to a halt in 2000. I often think about how much fun we had traveling and wish those days could return.
Wow! Fantastic renovation! I am 66 years old and have been living the full-time RV lifestyle since 2007. In 2009 I retired from work. I love it! I also love seeing families living this way. It does my heart good. Keep up the good work.😀
My parents were crazy in love and they decided to tow my 2 sisters and me all throughout the USA. We would move every couple of months, one year we moved 9 times. I did really well in school, my sisters struggled. It all ended in 1975 when I graduated from High School and they settled down in Fort Collins, Colorado, I went to school in Boulder...and they have been there ever since. So, when I see your kids...I think to myself: they have a unique opportunity to see the USA as not many will be able to do. When I saw your kids, and the love you share, my first thoughts were: these kids have a great chance to do whatever they want to do, unRESTRICED by norms, vagaries of the crowd, unafraid to take that other path where few dare to go...but its your love for each other tha impresses me the most...also the good portion of cheese mom popped on that taco..damn...made me hungry...happy trails!!!!
I have a 1952 tiny house. It is a Pontiac Chief trailer but it is made out of wood and looks like a modern tiny house, 8/27 with a tiny attic and a house-type roof. It has been in a trailer park since it was new and went through a number of owners without being moved. If you are ever in Southern California, perhaps you could contact me by responding to this comment. I would like to show my home to let other tiny house owners and enthusiasts know that their homes will last over 100 years. Mine is almost 70 now.
I love all of the personal details like the stickers (magnets?) And garlands and things. It's so homey. Also it looks very well thought through with the solar, power connections, internet, lift, truck tires, etc which I like.
Such a beautiful, thoughtful build in my favorite, the Airstream. Nothing compares to them. Your children are living the best life with great parents. Truly blessed. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.
I love what you did with the airstream, but I love even more to see how much love and good times your family has living this lifestyle. thanks for sharing.
I think its not how big home u have...its how harmonious u have to bond with your own Family..and how u spend things that is only essential..real important to HAVE😍
THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY IS SO WELL ORGANIZED NOT ONE THING IS OUT OF PLACE. I JUST LOVE SEEING THE KIDS HAVING FAMILY TIME, AND PARTICIPATING IN WITH ALL THE CHORES. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ON THEIR ADVENTURES 💙💙😏😏😊😊
I follow these guys on my airstream account...always have loved their home. We live in our 34 ft airstream with our daughter and our dog, and idk how they do it, bc almost 2 years in and this quarantine is making me lose my mind. We are also stationary so that doesn't help...but airstream living is not for everyone, that's for sure. I can't wait for our tiny house to be built.
But, a time by house in s not as easily moved and are not made for constant travel. I was going to do a tiny but want to travel so I think I'm going to do a skoolie. Hope things get better for all of us and you can get back to loving your lifestyle
I actually could work from home full time if I wanted to, so it doesnt matter where I am in the world as long as I have internet, why the heck am I not doing this and hitting the road? I could just rent out my house and build something!
What is it that you do for your living and what did you graduate in.... I literally want to lead such a life it would be helpful if you could give some tips regarding your work
@@akshayanandakumar I'm a lawyer working in a corporate non-profit, I don't go to court, I do mostly research, writing, and transactional work in-house only and already handle most of my work calls and meetings remotely. I'm half-tempted to hit the road! No one has ever tried it in my company that I know of, probably because there are too many variables, but it would be interesting to wake up and work in a new city every week. I'm sure I could pull this off at the right time and with the right motivation.
@@akshayanandakumar Not sure if this will help but my husband works full-time from home. He is a software developer and has been working for the same company for about 17 years. The first half of his career was spent in the office. Then he made a case for working from home and they went along with it. A few other employees in the company did the same. Now, with the pandemic, the company is thrilled to have had work-from-home employees already established while they transitioned the rest of the workforce to home offices. Now they are talking about making this a more permanent situation for a large portion of their workforce. I think many companies will be doing the same after this crisis. It's in their best interest for so many reasons (cost savings, mainly). This pandemic does have a bright side and I think this is a good example of that. :)
You got it man, stay in your state at first, go out for short periods of time to see what blow back you get. Meanwhile find a place to park your rig. Or make it understood at your house your renting out, that you will show up from time to time to regroup to manage affairs at the office for a day or two.
Well, some people love hitting the road, they love the outside and the adventure, I wouldn’t choose a lifestyle like this for myself but some people would really enjoy this lifestyle
This is amazing. What an amazing life for the kids. I do wonder about the toxicity of EMF exposure, being stuck in a metal structure with antennas and wifi, and sleeping on batteries. EMF mitigation for tiny homes is something I'm learning more about.
What a dream! Love that power center!!! You know, parenthood is a funny thing.....we are never quite prepared for it....when I got married & began having children I wanted four! After two I realized my life wasn’t cut out for that dream. I ended up with the wrong partner and divorcing. After watching so many of these videos with families I realized it was a blessing I didn’t have four. I wasn’t cut out for it. I reflect back and see how many “mistakes” I made because of the amount of stress I allowed into my life. Sometimes I wish I could have a do-over 🥴. My daughters are wonderful human beings and turned out fine at 26 & 28....but I would’ve loved to have gone this route!! I had even dabbled in home-schooling....but single parenthood has enough challenges of its own. I have a ton of respect for you accomplishing your dream and seemingly killing it!! Congratulations!! Thanks much for an awesome & inspiring video!! Lauri
Windkisssed I understand completely. I wanted four children but after two I realised how hard it is physically (I have a back injury). And I was never one of those relaxed mums. I always had to be organised, made many lists, and had to have a tidy clean house which just stressed me out more. I LOVE my children, they are my life, but two was enough. I’m sorry to hear about you and your husband divorcing.
Windkissed, everyday is a new day and a chance for a do-over. Make goals and reach for them. Sounds like you did a great job with your two kids, I have only one kid and my husband and I quickly realized it was enough for us. But now, (he's 23) I feel it might have been a bit selfish not to give him siblings... we all make choice that seemed right at the time.
One of the best tiny house of big family 👏they have done great job in planning an living to fullest in a wild way. The point dad mentioned that the kids need to learn more practically than in books is so true ✌️it feels like you are on road trip for years with your comfort of not missing home 🏡
You mean the parents are. The kids are missing out on having friends, hanging out with friends, sleepovers, playing on sports teams, being in gymnastics, being in clubs, Scouts, all sorts of things. Basically these are homeschool kids on steroids. These kids will be socially awkward and end up not doing well with their peers in the future. So living the dream? No. It's just the parents being the hippies they are.
I think living this way is so AWESOME!!! It forces you to remember what's important like quality time, peace, and love. And what better way to educate your children and yourselves than by actually living the life text book teach about. Continued BLESSINGS
Thanks. I've been living in a conventional motorhome for more than twelve years. I've been able to paint the interior and change it a bit to serve me better, but a customized airstream just screams luxury.
They are living the perfect dream. That's an amazing way for children to grow up with all the love and support from their family, and to learn from each other and real life.
I'm always surprised when I see downvotes on a video featuring families like theirs. I think this is wonderful. Wish more people, including myself, had the means to do it.
Wholesome living in a famly unit like it was 80 to 100 years ago gets a thumbs down. I would hope the thumbs down is for that they couldn't do it themselves. But wish they could do it with their family.
lhj276 I agree 100%. I could be wrong but it looks like another baby was on the way. That may force the issue since there isn’t room for another child. And I imagine that if mama is up and baby is up in the whole family is up. One final comment is that my back could not lay on such a firm bed.
These videos really romanticize van life. Most of the time I catch myself thinking I'm stupid for paying a mortgage and not converting a bread truck. Lol All good points. These things have never really crossed my mind.
*+Saddle Tramp* If I was to have any reason to thumbs down, it would be because of the fact that they have four children and how insular their life is. Yes, they get to visit some shit hot places but there's no personal friendships outside the family. I have to wonder about the standard of schooling as well. However, I don't know enough about them, and they don't look like tripped out fundy xtians, so I figure they're discussing the sciences on their travels. Imagine what it must be like for them out in the desert, no light pollution, looking at our galaxy, satellites flying over, etc., etc.,?
@@annakeye It does seem awfully romantic. But I see it as a lifestyle that would be a better fit for me later in years. I've done the long road trip thing, and there's nothing better than getting back to a long hot shower and my big comfy bed.
What they actually teach children in schools theses days No one should want for their children anyway. You are absolutely doing the right thing for your babies. Congratulations for sacrificing everything for them .
@@TinyShinyHome FANTASTIC, SHOW THIS TO ALL OF THE DO-GODDERS AND HATERS, WHAT YOUR FAMILY IS DOING IS INCREDIBLY BLOODY BEAUTIFUL. ALL THE BEST TO A HAPPY AND GLORIOUS FAMILY,YOUR CHILDREN..[I BELIEVE] WILL ALL GROW UP TO BE INTELLIGENT, COMPASSIONATE, PATIENT ADULTS WHO WILL BE ABLE TO TEACH THEIR PEERS A THING OR TWO ABOUT LIFE. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL BECAUSE YOU CERTAINLY DESERVE IT. CHEERS FROM AUSTRALIA.
I grew up like this, have had so many experiences. We kept track of the best tasting water places we ever went, the prettiest leaves, the most fun people and the most interesting people, and the scariest sides of mountains to back a trailer down to let another vehicle pass. 😊 I like what you came up with to hold your computer situation! Also love the other possible shower alternative! Of course love the kitchen! Reminds me a bit of ours! 💖
Love this!! You are so fortunate to have grown up this way. As for prettiest leaves, the quaking aspens in Utah at peak foliage, when they are that lovely creamy yellow color, has to be some of the prettiest leaves I've ever seen. Not to mention the beautiful sound they make when the wind blows. And when you gaze upon them as they blow they look like they are shimmering. It's magical! :)
I just packed my fridge (under quarantine) and I am single. How they get by with that small unit is beyond me. That said great family, airstream and life!
Wow, what a dream. An amazing build! I love the design. They have really thought everything out. I would have loved to of heard from the kids their thoughts on living in an Air stream and how they enjoy the travelling life. I imagine living in this way, whilst on the move, to be a special educational experience. Love it!
Your channel just keeps on getting better and better! thank you so much for your content and production and spirit Behind these videos 🤗 ... all for our inspiration and information💕🤙
A wonderful life and memories. My husband and I traveled out west for over a year in our RV. It was fun and we saw so many interesting places. But, I'm glad to be home again. With a solid foundation under my feet. My husband prefers the open road.
Scifi FantasyGirl - I didn’t want to be the only one with my mind in the gutter. 😂Trailer homes period, are not good for sexy time, even with doors 🚪, even if on opposite sides of the trailer, u can feel the rocking.
All I can say is this life is beautiful that you've made for your family, and that gorgeous trailer...omg! Words can't express how brilliantly you renovated and the planning that went into the modications....that's a $200,000 trailer now!! Better than the newer airstream trailers.
Beautiful family, beautiful home, beautiful life! Their lifestyle seems a lot healthier than having the big house and two cars. So glad to see more and more families embracing this lifestyle and loving it! The amount of creativity that goes into creating a functional and beautiful small living space really blows my mind. Thanks for sharing your home!
I cannot imagine this situation if that had been my life with my mum, dad, three brothers and my sister. It was busy enough in a four bed-roomed house growing up. That was back in the day without all the tek. We had tons of books, games, clothes, records, record players, out door equipment, twin tub, radios, heirlooms from the past etc. Amazing how you can now live without of all that in these modern times. Good luck to ya.
I have a 72 - 28 foot . It is almost the same except I don't have the very cool top windows. Mine had a large shower added by the previous owners. I turned the 3x3 foot shower into a camper wet bath. I wanted the big back bathroom to be my office area. It is just me and two dogs,.
This gives me claustrophobia! I would become crazy if I had to live with so many people and so little own space and privacy. Would be hell on wheels for me. 😂 But to each their own.
Yeah I was cringing when I saw the composting toilet shared by 6 people. But look at the payoff. They are seeing the country up close (something many will never get to do) and they're getting to spend tons of quality time together as a family. The social skills those kids will learn from having to share such a small space will help them navigate thru life, I'm sure! :)
@Martine ...but you have at least to sleep there, there are days when the weather is too bad to eat outside, ... alone sleeping crammed together without the tiniest bit of privacy would be horrible for me and being forced to life that way without the possibility to escape (bacayse6thats how your parents want to life and there is no house you could life instead) just wouldn't have worked for me. But the video shows only very very always very happy children so I guess it's ok for them.
This family is awesome. I thought these things were too small for one to live full time. The walls would close in. For 6 people, that is awesome. Safe travels.
i love the way you raise your family! such freedom! awesome! your home is beautiful & so functional. your children education is better than in four walls! wonderful!
* Beautifully renovated * Orig awning - luv it! * Travel stickers on the door- nice placement * Do you find yourself working less because of the RV life?
Good question - yes the last few years have been intentional for working less so we can adventure more. That being said, we still gotta work, and we definitely aren’t moving all the time or out everyday doing stuff. It’s a constant balance.
I would really like to hear you include - How people do their cloths washing. / How do they source or store their food when not near food sources. / how do they wash, bath or shower (because water storage and availability may prevent or challenge these options depending on where they are???) This would be SUPER HELPFUL to know Thankyou!!!!
You have the best intro music in all the tiny house sites I have watched on YT and believe me when I say I have watched almost all of them! I always find myself singing with the music in the intro. Sometimes I even repeat the intro just becos I wanna sing it another time or 2 :)
Airstreams are clearly the best choice for truly mobile tiny living. I always wonder why more people don't just buy an Airstream rather than building a super heavy, pretty expensive tiny home.
This is a pretty Build and a nice idea but these situations often feel like the parents are working out some delayed wanderlust that should have been fully explored before the kiddos came along.
They'll figure something out. When kids are small, this is definitely easier. They have the option to change their directive, but what an experience they have allowed their children to have!
They have all the tools they need to live comfortably. Good thing Dad is so knowledgeable about everything. When they go to college they’ll have even more space than their whole family. 😂😂
alt tabbed and looked at the price of a new airstream. I could buy a three bedroom house on an acre of land in my area for what it costs to buy one new! These guys did it right. Buy a used one and reno it the way you want.
Interesting. Unlike the kids who never grow up (ages 20's, 30's 40's etc.) and continue living with their parents, these Airstream children, once they are at least 18 yrs. old, will most likely deeply desire to leave the nest a.s.a.p. Just one of the many benefits of living that way.
Do you think you could live in a renovated airstream with your family?
Yea
Tiny House Giant Journey no
@@jonnyboy8000 Why not?
Definetly not
I think i'd need 4 of them in a row to be able to live under the same roof with a man.. ;) Yeah..love a man but he has to sleep and snore away from me and have his own bathroom too.

Man, that must be one hell of a cooperative family for all 6 of them to be living in 34' for 5 years! That's super impressive!
I am the oldest of four kids. We spent every single minute from April-October on our 32' boat. Now, parents divorced and no one talks to anyone else.
This family is very special and I'm so happy to see them make it work, the kids look so happy and well adjusted!!
Yeah we like each other 😉
It is a 31'

No way could I live like this with an entire family. But just two people, HECK YES!!!!
I think it would give the kids a little more privacy if they each had a curtain they could pull across.
Most of the world kids share bedrooms. My daughters did, when they were little, and look back on the shared bed , later bunk beds, and bedroom very fondly. I still remember their games and inside jokes.
I defo agree, mostly for when they become teenagers. At that point you really want your own space
I thought the same thing. This is a beautiful home, though.
@Martine Right! Creates isolation/depression.

What they actually teach children in schools theses days No one should want for their children anyway. You are absolutely doing the right thing for your babies. Congratulations for sacrificing everything for them .
I love airstreams and they did a great job on theirs! I always get excited when I see one.
Beautifully filmed. Lovely home. I hope they have a safe place to stay while the world is on pause...
Brian Mombourquette thanks we do. Just bought some land in SE Arizona that we’ll be turning into an off grid homestead and homebase.
@@TinyShinyHome FANTASTIC, SHOW THIS TO ALL OF THE DO-GODDERS AND HATERS, WHAT YOUR FAMILY IS DOING IS INCREDIBLY BLOODY BEAUTIFUL. ALL THE BEST TO A HAPPY AND GLORIOUS FAMILY,YOUR CHILDREN..[I BELIEVE] WILL ALL GROW UP TO BE INTELLIGENT, COMPASSIONATE, PATIENT ADULTS WHO WILL BE ABLE TO TEACH THEIR PEERS A THING OR TWO ABOUT LIFE. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL BECAUSE YOU CERTAINLY DESERVE IT. CHEERS FROM AUSTRALIA.
I grew up like this, have had so many experiences. We kept track of the best tasting water places we ever went, the prettiest leaves, the most fun people and the most interesting people, and the scariest sides of mountains to back a trailer down to let another vehicle pass. 😊 I like what you came up with to hold your computer situation! Also love the other possible shower alternative! Of course love the kitchen! Reminds me a bit of ours! 💖
Love this!! You are so fortunate to have grown up this way. As for prettiest leaves, the quaking aspens in Utah at peak foliage, when they are that lovely creamy yellow color, has to be some of the prettiest leaves I've ever seen. Not to mention the beautiful sound they make when the wind blows. And when you gaze upon them as they blow they look like they are shimmering. It's magical! :)
@@ruinsane100 Beautiful , last few lines sound like a gorgeous poem.
I can only imagine how much money they don't need living like this. You don't have to work all day and get to spend more time on what really matters.
@Martine exactly!😍That's my dream. We only have one kid, so...
I just packed my fridge (under quarantine) and I am single. How they get by with that small unit is beyond me.
That said great family, airstream and life!
$48,000 for this is the most amazingly priced tiny house. Great job!
48 grand for a fancy box on wheels yea that's a bargain
Wow, what a dream. An amazing build! I love the design. They have really thought everything out. I would have loved to of heard from the kids their thoughts on living in an Air stream and how they enjoy the travelling life. I imagine living in this way, whilst on the move, to be a special educational experience. Love it!
Your channel just keeps on getting better and better! thank you so much for your content and production and spirit Behind these videos 🤗 ... all for our inspiration and information💕🤙
A wonderful life and memories. My husband and I traveled out west for over a year in our RV. It was fun and we saw so many interesting places. But, I'm glad to be home again. With a solid foundation under my feet. My husband prefers the open road.
What a beautiful amazing family and Well Done project
Some people just HAVE LIFE.
Might be a little 'open' for parents'....ehem.....sexy time.... I'd rather a folding/locking door of some kind. Other than that it's a nice build.
Scifi FantasyGirl - I didn’t want to be the only one with my mind in the gutter. 😂Trailer homes period, are not good for sexy time, even with doors 🚪, even if on opposite sides of the trailer, u can feel the rocking.
We have a truck and usually we’re in the middle of nowhere. Our relationship does not suffer. 😜
@@TinyShinyHome Thanks for addressing it. I always wonder how families deal with that.
@@TinyShinyHome oh those pictures in my head now 😂
Perhaps they no longer have sex ?? It's possible........
The Airstream was really nice. They did an excellent build and the cost was great.
This family and their Airstream are amazing. Love the video very much.
All I can say is this life is beautiful that you've made for your family, and that gorgeous trailer...omg! Words can't express how brilliantly you renovated and the planning that went into the modications....that's a $200,000 trailer now!! Better than the newer airstream trailers.
What a wonderful way to nurture and teach children about nature and their environment. Kudos to you guys and Happy Camping.
Beautiful family, beautiful home, beautiful life! Their lifestyle seems a lot healthier than having the big house and two cars. So glad to see more and more families embracing this lifestyle and loving it! The amount of creativity that goes into creating a functional and beautiful small living space really blows my mind. Thanks for sharing your home!
I cannot imagine this situation if that had been my life with my mum, dad, three brothers and my sister. It was busy enough in a four bed-roomed house growing up. That was back in the day without all the tek. We had tons of books, games, clothes, records, record players, out door equipment, twin tub, radios, heirlooms from the past etc. Amazing how you can now live without of all that in these modern times. Good luck to ya.
This has to be one of the best use of space of all the tiny houses that I have seen through the years.
I think you guys hit the nail on the head... This is the most perfect home... Great job..
I have a 72 - 28 foot . It is almost the same except I don't have the very cool top windows. Mine had a large shower added by the previous owners. I turned the 3x3 foot shower into a camper wet bath. I wanted the big back bathroom to be my office area. It is just me and two dogs,.
How beautiful and comfortable!
very nice ,i think a English double Decker bus would be perfect for your family
This gives me claustrophobia! I would become crazy if I had to live with so many people and so little own space and privacy. Would be hell on wheels for me. 😂 But to each their own.
Yeah I was cringing when I saw the composting toilet shared by 6 people. But look at the payoff. They are seeing the country up close (something many will never get to do) and they're getting to spend tons of quality time together as a family. The social skills those kids will learn from having to share such a small space will help them navigate thru life, I'm sure! :)
@@ruinsane100 Maybe...i just can't imagine being a teenager and having to live in such tight quarters with three siblings and your parents.
ciznuk7 I agree, not ideal with older kids. Nobody truly has their own private space.
@Martine ...but you have at least to sleep there, there are days when the weather is too bad to eat outside, ... alone sleeping crammed together without the tiniest bit of privacy would be horrible for me and being forced to life that way without the possibility to escape (bacayse6thats how your parents want to life and there is no house you could life instead) just wouldn't have worked for me. But the video shows only very very always very happy children so I guess it's ok for them.
Why bother to write a negative comment? They seem happy.
This is wonderful, being able to work and travel together, with home schooling!
I love Airstreams. It's beautiful! The solar panels are the best part.
Great life created for this family! I think there is so much opportunity to learn and love
This family is awesome. I thought these things were too small for one to live full time. The walls would close in. For 6 people, that is awesome. Safe travels.
i love the way you raise your family! such freedom! awesome! your home is beautiful & so functional. your children education is better than in four walls! wonderful!
@katy bourassa OH GOD NOT YOU .....AGAIN. TROLL OF ELSE WHERE.
I love your place! So neat and organize. Everything you put in there is very smart thinking. GOOD JOB!!!
* Beautifully renovated
* Orig awning - luv it!
* Travel stickers on the door- nice placement
* Do you find yourself working less because of the RV life?
Good question - yes the last few years have been intentional for working less so we can adventure more. That being said, we still gotta work, and we definitely aren’t moving all the time or out everyday doing stuff. It’s a constant balance.
what a beautiful family!
They Did do a great job on that Airstream.
That was beautiful I Love that family and Camper
One of the best I have seen! Very well made and beautiful.
I love everything about your built, you thought of every thing your family needed. Very nice!
I would really like to hear you include - How people do their cloths washing. / How do they source or store their food when not near food sources. / how do they wash, bath or shower (because water storage and availability may prevent or challenge these options depending on where they are???) This would be SUPER HELPFUL to know Thankyou!!!!
You should check out their channel @TinyShinyHome they have gobs of videos. :)
You have the best intro music in all the tiny house sites I have watched on YT and believe me when I say I have watched almost all of them! I always find myself singing with the music in the intro. Sometimes I even repeat the intro just becos I wanna sing it another time or 2 :)
I absolutely LOVE this one. Family is lovely and they really have living tiny done right! Hope you all are staying safe!
Airstreams are clearly the best choice for truly mobile tiny living. I always wonder why more people don't just buy an Airstream rather than building a super heavy, pretty expensive tiny home.
what an inspiration. their home is perfect and what a nice family.
This is a pretty Build and a nice idea but these situations often feel like the parents are working out some delayed wanderlust that should have been fully explored before the kiddos came along.
What a great way to live.
WOW! Really creative folks. "Plenty" is definitely relative.
Liked this smiling family bless you all x
Maybe a rooftop tent for Mom and Dad to have a little romantic getaway privacy time. 😉☺
I just recently bought the same model airstream to stay in while I’m a school, it needs some work but I’m so excited to dive into it
Interesting practical ideas thanks. I like the tripod mini desk
Awesome, love it all. You thought everything through! So glad you shared this with us!
Hugs to all,
MommaFaye 🌺
This is fun while the kids are small but what happens when they grow up and want their own space or need an education to get a job
Hedgy Verona it’s called homeschooling. This is 2020, not 1970...
They'll figure something out. When kids are small, this is definitely easier. They have the option to change their directive, but what an experience they have allowed their children to have!
The education they're getting on the road is more than stuck in a classroom undoubtedly..
I doubt they think of what the children want later, as long as the parents get there dream
Love the kitchen faucet/shower idea! We may have to include that in our build. So brilliant!
I love it! Airstreams are my favourite. Good onya guys!
Not the new ones though. There overpriced and there quality came down
This is gunna be the foundation of our motorhome Reno! Amazing thought and work put into this build!!!🥰🥰
They have all the tools they need to live comfortably. Good thing Dad is so knowledgeable about everything. When they go to college they’ll have even more space than their whole family. 😂😂
Congratulations on your adventures with your family loving your home
alt tabbed and looked at the price of a new airstream. I could buy a three bedroom house on an acre of land in my area for what it costs to buy one new!
These guys did it right. Buy a used one and reno it the way you want.
Xersys thanks. What’s even cooler is it appraises now for close to the new ones 💪🏻
This is one of my favourite tiny house for a family I’ve seen so far thanku!
Nice family. Seems like they are
very organised. This was very
interesting. Thanks.
Beautiful family, beautiful renovation. Love the opportunity your family is getting to experience new things and see new places.
So wonderful
Blessings to you and your beautiful family
💜💜💜
thats AWESOME, they are very courageous & makes it easier for them bkz the kids are in homeschool.
Beautiful!
Beautiful home! Be Happy!
what a beautiful and organized home!!!! love it
Awesome family Great set up for their living space Love it
Interesting. Unlike the kids who never grow up (ages 20's, 30's 40's etc.) and continue living with their parents, these Airstream children, once they are at least 18 yrs. old, will most likely deeply desire to leave the nest a.s.a.p. Just one of the many benefits of living that way.
Perfect. Awesome design.
Sure looks like y’all put a lot of thought in the preps and I love it!
Beautiful home and family god bless thanks for sharing stay safe🙏💗
