Was it only me who,feel bad for the kids to have a very tight space but the parents have king size and a full room hope they will renovate it for the sake of kids..
Because for me,kids comfort first before mine.
You will be happy to know that 6 months after making this video it was renovated.
I really don’t blame them for not liking where the other 3 children sleep, entirely to cramped for the children that’s growing.
Check out our other videos. We remodeled for the kids bc they grew.
Please don't feel embarrassed! Thank you for showing us your home. This was extremely helpful as my little family is spending this year transitioning into a camper. Also I love that you still have a junk drawer!
How do people live without a junk drawer?!?! Lol
Saaaame. Love the realness of this video :)
@@TheRayfords You are so welcome!!! We try to show reality...good or bad!
We have four kids and have been looking into this lifestyle so we are a family of 6. Thank you so much for showing reality and how awesome you make it work!
So welcome! U can do it. There is an adjustment for sure and learning to cope when each person needs their own space can be tough but u can definitely figure it out!!!
Ellie! Let us know when you hit the road! Family of 6 here too :)
You have a beautiful home. There is love, you can see it in your happiness with each other. Be safe, God Bless.
Thank you for sharing - What a lovely family! I love the separation between the babies beds, great idea.
Thanks! It has turned out so well!!! I love it too.
Thanks so much for showing your kids being kids I LOVE IT! Keep up the good works
Thanks! Real life is what it is... real life! Lol!
Love your home! Great spaces, and ideas for the small spaces.

Thanks for sharing! We are about to begin our journey! Loved the bookshelves and lego storage. That will be a necessity for us!
Check out the renovation video because we changed things up in that room... so excited for you to begin... it's an adventure of ups and downs and perfectly imperfect!!!
I loved loved loved this!!!
I am so glad! It's small but meets our needs!

Your organization is immaculate. Love all of the organization in the bathroom! Great ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!!!
Questions,
All 3 kids dislike the bunk bed,it is a bit tight.
Perhaps bring it down a little ,put boy on one bunk girls
on lower bunk,providing there is room to make an additional bunk.the kids have no head room!
You are a very blessed family.
Also in the baby's bunk you can move all toys and put 2 more bunks in there.
You definitely have the idea we did. We did a renovation video and did that exact thing you can check out. It has been so much better!!!
Love your home on wheels and how you’ve made the best use of each space! So cozy!
Thanks!
I love that you didn’t give up rocking your babies! That is wonderful.
Well! God Bless your precious family and the life you're all living ... AWESOME!
Thank you! ❤
God bless your family and your marriage
stay humble and live like there's no tomorrow !!!!
I noticed some angry, jealous people (okay, person) in your comments. Don’t let unfulfilled people get you down and I’m proud to be your official 150th subscriber! I look forward to watching your channel grow😊 All the best and many blessings to your lovely family!🙏
Ahh, thanks! And thanks for making us 150... it's fun to share our lives with others!
On This Spot! You are such an encouragement here ;)
Here are the portable generator safety rules: this safety information is only for anyone who use a portable gas generator and for those who are planning on getting a portable gas generator. This is just a reminder for everyone’s safety. All generator safety rules should be followed carefully. This advice is just to make sure that everyone is aware of all the warnings and it’s just to remind people to be careful using portable generators. Generators can be dangerous if not used carefully. Every year, hundreds of people die or get injured when using portable generators due to carbon monoxide poisoning and electrocution. Make sure you are using your generator carefully and keeping others safe as well. There is something very serious that everyone should always be aware of when using generators. Some people do run their generator indoors which is not safe and that increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning which can cause death of family and you. Some people run their generator in wet conditions which can electrocute them. Please remember that you should never run your generator indoors. Remember that carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that you cannot see or smell. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer. Keep that in mind. Make sure your generator is 15-20 feet away from your house and away from doors, windows, and vents. Never use your generator in your porch too. Having a carbon monoxide detector is very important against generator safety. Some people also allow children to go near the portable generator which could pose risks. We need to keep an eye on our children making sure that they are not near the portable generator so they won’t get electrocuted or burned by the generator which is dangerous. A locking enclosure also keeps kids safe. A generator shed might look like a tempting place to explore, or take cover during a game of hide and seek, but a generator is a dangerous piece of equipment that can cause injury. It says on the manual that we should also keep children away at all times from the portable generator to avoid injuries. Please do not allow a child or unqualified people to operate the portable generator. It is important to keep your children safe especially little ones. The portable generator can be hot during an operation. Just because some manuals missed what should be listed doesn’t mean it’s safe to do. Always follow the generator safety rules when using portable generators. Generators pose electrical risks. If you need to use your generator during wet weather, you need a generator tent to protect your generator from getting wet. Don’t let your generator get wet. Keep your generator dry and before using your generator, please make sure your hands and your generator is dry. Do not wear loose clothing when operating the generator. Everything that is said on the generator’s operating manual should not be ignored. Never smoke cigarettes near the generator. Please keep flammable things away from the generator. Never overload your generator too. Your generator can catch fire. Never ever try to plug a generator cord into a wall outlet to avoid back feeding. Back feeding your generator is dangerous. Always turn on your generator first before plugging in appliances and shut off the appliances before turning your generator off. Use a heavy duty cord for your generator and the cord should not be worn out. All the instructions should be followed carefully. Never refuel your generator while it’s running. It can cause fire if fuel spills while your generator is hot. You should turn off your generator and let it cool off before refueling it. Having a fire extinguisher next to the generator is also important. This is only a reminder for everyone’s safety of using generators. Make sure your generator is properly grounded. Having a fire extinguisher next to the generator is also important against the safety rules. ruclips.net/video/I1jT3ANENvI/видео.html and here is a video more about keeping others safe when using generators and also about our family’s safety. It’s important to keep our children safe especially little ones. Hope this helps. Thank you.
Love this video so inspiring!!!
THAT ROCKER IDEA IS VERY GOOD WHEN DADDY IS AND MOMMY CAN HIDE FROM KIDS
I love it ..all the best ..God Blessed u all
Thanks so much!
@@HawksTakeFlight u most welcome
Awesome family guys. We can’t seem to get pantry’s organized in our rig either lol. We look forward to following along. Thanks for sharing
The pantry is so deep that it's hard to stat organized... always juggling.
It’s wider than 8’ because of the slideouts. Love it 🥰
Thank you!
love your home and your family! thanks for the tour!!
So welcome!!!
Lovely trailer thank you
OMG!!! I love your home. You are so organized.. I definitely had to take some notes on my end. ❤️💐❤️💐❤️💐❤️💐
So glad you got some ideas!!! Good luck if you plan on doing this. It's so worth it!
Love the children! Great mom! This is real life…
Thank you!
Love it and you guys are so funny 😍😍😍 great job
Thank you!!!
Love it. You guy's Rock!
Thank you!
WOW BEAUTIFUL HOME AND FAMILY
Thank you!
Wow amazing thank you for sharing Love it
Live all the ways you make this work makes me feel better about doing this ourselves
Where this a will there is a way... it may just be different but it's totally doable... and u always adapt to any situation.. just takes some time and drive. If u haven't started u will love it.. there will be moments that aren't the best but the pros definitely outweigh the cons.
I love your home great job
Thanks! It sure does feel like home now!
Your home supper cool be happy with your family
Its amazing how you fit this with all the kids.I know living in a small space,I live in a tiny house with 11 dogs and 8 cats.And it fits too.Its only a question of organsisation.But I have a giant back yard,so it is possible to live with so much pets :-) Regards from germany....................and the best is the Play and sleepingroom for the little onces,you´ve done a very good job with such great Ideas for saving space.
Wow! That is a lot of pets but I am sure the yard helps.... we have to travel so we have a huge "yard" too!
A fold up bottom bunk would be awesome, you could have them sleep at night and fold it up in the day ❤️
That's a great idea... check out our renovation video to see what we did.
Love the rocking chair idea. Will probably do that when I have my own baby someday.
You will love having a rocking chair!!!
It take balls to do what you guys do! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
I think you utilized your space amazingly
Thanks! I am posting an updated one soon!
Nice RV and we'll organized.
I love the idea with the toys
Thank you!
Love the video, I wish one day to live like that. Truck driver for now.
You might and it will be awesome!!!
Love the rocking chair!
I really enjoy the drawers in my rebuilt kitchen & argued with the designer about needing drawers on the upper shelves because that is where they’re really needed! If you can find someone or DIY drawers in the top cupboard then stuff would get lost less & be easier to get to. Maybe even for the pots & pans space too.
If there’s a will there’s a way to live with lots of other people in a small space. 💕
The kitchen is the one spot we haven't remodeled yet... we did remodel the dinette area which you can check out in our videos but I agree with you.... its not a great design on the upper cabinets... we are thinking of removing the microwave and building a cabinet there.... and yes I love my rocking chair too!!
Great for when your kids are young but if you traded up when your kids are older I'd suggest getting a toy hauler and have custom bunk beds build. I once saw a family of 8 with 3 sets of bunk beds in their toy hauler. It was amazing.
That is a great idea!!! I think we will definitely do that.
The rocking chair was awesome
Thank you! We love it.
In the microwave you could put a Lazy Susan that way it would spin around and you could see everything. Just a suggestion
That's a great suggestion! We may absolutely try that!
This is so cool love your videos
Thanks!!! We sure do love living this lifestyle!
You have a wonderful family and a big home. I wish to do this someday.
Thank you!!!
I like this couple it's very homey and quaint
Thank you!
First thing is ,that you have a beautiful family 😊🥰 Second thing is ,I'm amazed of every detail 😍 I'm from Europe, but when I could move to the US ,I would totally get an RV 😁 This is not just a "trailer" it's a real house on wheels 😊😊👍👍
Thank you!!! We did our best to make it have a home like feel.
E~ee3e
~3~3e~~ee~
E~~~3
Beautiful family we are Rving soon with 3 boys and also from California and going to homeschool 💪
U will love it!
I love how the kids are your top priority, I watch a lot where the kids literally have little box at the end of their bed and that's all they have,
Thanks! I tried to make sure they still had their things and didn't have to give away too much. Wanted them to feel that they could still have normal life even on non travel/adventure days.
Your camper is gorgeous
Thank you! We kind of like it!!
Love your place
Thank you. Check out our renovation videos because we changed some things for the better.
I love the rocking chair!! I used to love to rock my kids to sleep too!
Its my favorite!!!
So fun! Beautiful RV and family. Looking forward to seeing more down the road.
Thanks for watching! We hope to have lots of adventures!
Hey guys !! New subscribers here (and fellow large family .. And rv former full timers LOL). Great idea with the bed in the mid bunk ! Also love that you got your rocking chair in there .. as a mom of many I love rocking my babes too !! Can’t wait to keep watching :)
Hey! Thanks for watching... and yes!!! Rocking babies is the best thing in the world... it's my place of peace!
I just subscribed your officially 100 subscribers !!
Yes!! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for sharing how you and your lovely family live full time in your fifth wheel! I love how creative you got with the kids toy room, very smart what you've done for the littles for sleeping arrangement, it's perfect and safe! You were also able to fit a lot of toys and games which is great for the kids! Would you mind sharing what model/year of the Forest River Sandpiper you are in? Thanks! Following you here now and also over on instagram.
Welcome to our channel!! The kids toy room was super great and worked out real look well! Glad you enjoyed it! We have a 2019 Forest River Sandpiper 372LOK. We love it and wouldnt change anything except maybe make it a motorhome... but that would mean we lose space so it's perfect for our family!
Your home looks larger then some apartments. Your home is beautiful!
Thank you! It's small but we like it.
We have 8 kids and 9 grandchildren,,yes we have to have a rocking chair too..lol
Nice rv and cute kids
Thank you so much!!!
sacrificing a bed for kids at the expense of toys is powerful... Instead of making a full bed, you make boxes for kids and a huge space for many boxes of toys. Well, your priorities are...
Nice😍
Y’all got them
Kids living like sardines 😯😦😧😮
Check out the videos where we redo their rooms.
Hawks take flight :: wow love those safety beds.15 toy bins for 5 children, wow. Is that rocker waiting in hopes of more baby's ?.
Stay safe & well.
No it was just for my littlest one... we recently took it out.. sad day for me!!!
My husband went through a handlebar mustache phase 😅
Oh dear!!! The things we women deal with! Lol... 😉😂😁
Very nice
Thank you!
I just watched another video where they took apart a plastic storage dresser and used the pull out drawers in their pantry. Maybe it would work if you found the right size?
That's a great idea.. I think I will hunt one down! Thank you so much!
Nice video
Thank you!
Did your shower walls come like tgat already? Shower is very nice! The girls room n bedding area is nice and well thought out.
Our shower walls did come like that but it's some kind of insert... it's not tiled out or anything. I would recommend looking at our renovation videos on the kids room. We changed some things too to help you get some more ideas.
I’m 14 and I have my own rv to!
Oh wow!
Gee
Curious as in the UK we have weight restrictions on firstly what licence you need and also a vehicle can only tow a certain weight
Your trailer looks very heavy fully laden
Even on motor homes here we have to be very careful what we put in so not to exceed the weight allowed
We are right at the max amount that can be pulled with our truck and 5th wheel. You definitely need to make sure you follow that for safety and because it can affect your rig when its bouncing around.
Where did you purchase the white "gates" for your babies' bed? Truly like those!!!! Please help
We bought it on Amazon.. the exact one we bought isnt available anymore but here is one similar to it.... the one we had was a Comfy Bumpy Toddler Bed Rail... just search for the lengths u want... some are longer than others. But here is a similar one on Amazon... smile.amazon.com/dp/B07CWLNP81/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9zXtFbCMF83RM
I am curious what specific RV you have? I have two kids and this seems like the absolute perfect RV with very little modifications.
Forest River 2019 Sandpiper 372 LOK... its been so wonderful! Hope you will love it!
@@HawksTakeFlight Thank you!
Great idea with the baby bed gates! Love the rocker! ❤️
Thanks! It worked out really well.
Hawks Take flight,
I have been looking for more
videos of your beautiful family 👪.,but can't find any?????
Thank you!!! We do have 2 seasons of playlists.. we will be wrapping up season 2 in the next 2 months so you can binge watch a whole bunch! We think we are cute but a little bias is there! 😆... here is the direct link to our channel.. Enjoy!!! ruclips.net/user/HawksTakeFlight...
Cute idea. But two kids in one bed that small is crazy
Its a full size bed not a twin if that helps... just a little bit smaller than a queen. The two babies are in a king size bed in the loft however.
@@HawksTakeFlight even if it was a twin it's not too small. Kids can sleep in small places, they are loved and cared for and that is what is important. You seem like a great parents!!
@@flowergarden1426 Thanks! We try!
What do you use to haul your RV? Are you stationary most of the time or do you move a lot?
We have a 3500 diesel Chevy Silverado. Before 2020 we were not stationary except 3 months during winter. We have been a bit more stationary the last year than we would like. We can be stationary 2 weeks out of the month.
I am curious what your plan is for the girls when they outgrow the half bunk they share?
You need to watch the renovation videos.
👍
As those kids do to sleep so uncomfortable, very close to the ceiling.
You need to watch our renovation video.
So do the 3 older kids all sleep in the living room? Does that cause any issues with different bedtimes or noise?
The older kids were sleeping up kn the loft... but we have since done renovations and changed that up in our season 1 playlist if you want to check that out.... for bedtime noise for the little ones we have ocean waves playing so they can sleep if the rest of us make noise. Its been working out great!
HI there- which high chair is that? I am currently looking for one for our RV that will strap into dinette seating, thank you!
We bought it from Amazon. We love it. Here is the link. Summer Deluxe Comfort Folding Booster Seat, Tan www.amazon.com/dp/B000JVXZF2/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_X2NEWAFV52JCXR37VPAV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
So when y’all travel do you drive two vehicles? With the fifth wheel
Yes... Jeff will drive the truck and I will caravan with the kids in the van.
What foldable bedrail are you using for the babies???
Bumpy Bed Rail but it isnt carried on Amazon anymore... but if you type that in they have other similar ones.
Did u guys install the washer and dryer in the closet yourself was there a connector in the closet.
So the RV came with a washer dryer and drainage hookups. We bought a vent washer dryer combo so we did have to cut a hole in the side of the RV for it to be ventilated. They do have non vent dryers but based on reviews we chose this option.
It's a 2019... we bought it in Nov of 2018... began our journey in April of 2019.
When they would fight with each other would make me laugh
Lol.. we just kept it like it is... no fakeness.
The upper area of the side kitchen cabinet, use metal slide trays. I have same cabinet, use slides, nice like the built in drawer slides. Google kitchen storage.
@@dianaries1775 hey, thanks!!! We will definitely look into that.
My husband and I are strongly thinking about selling everything and moving into an Rv. We have two kids and a newborn, a cat, Pomeranian and husky and might be getting two more. I have a couple questions. What do you use to bathe the babies, and what do you use as an address if you are traveling?
Great questions... for an address we used a family member but we don't really get a lot of mail bc any bill we had like car insurance was set up by email. That way we didn't overload them with mail. You can ship to some RV parks if uh wanted Amazon to deliver, etc and even UPS stores if you call ahead they will tell u what address to use and then just pick up at their store. As for the little ones I bathed them in the kitchen sink for a long time and then eventually as they got a bit older the shower area we have would allow you (if plugged) to fill the bottom up at least 4 or 5 inches high so they could play a bit in there. Let me know if you have any other questions!!!
Did you do it? Husband and I are thinking of doing the same thing 🙂
Is that a flush toilet ..... I love ur home its beautiful
Thank you. Well by flush it's a standard RV toilet... you push down on the step pedal and water comes in and it opens a hole for it to go to the black tank. We haven't had any problems with it.
Ohk
I don’t blame them for not liking where the older children sleep, too confining. Really can’t do anything but lay down. SAD!
You should watch our renovation video.
They make wireless HDMI transmitters
We did not know that! Thanks!!!
Have u ever tried to lay in those beds for the kids I don't think that would be to good for there breathing or there heath I am not downing you all in any way I just think the couch would be better for them it would be more open and wouldn't be so smashed together may God bless you and your family
Watch our remodel.. we changed up everything!
lovely home but that kettle placement is an accident waiting to happen especially with crawling little ones
How do you park that thing?
With lots of practice!! It is huge!! 😊
Where did you get the light above the printer. Your refrigerator is it a regular size house refrigerator? Does it operate on propane and electric? I'm trying to figure out what refrigerator we want to add
The light above the printer came with the RV when we bought it. Our refrigerator is full size and the downfall to that is that it runs only on electric so you can not switch between. We have solar and so have never had the batteries drain. My advice is if you have a large family I have LOVED my full size fridge... if there is only a few of you then the other camper sized fridges should be just fine too. It kind of depends on your lifestyle and how you shop. Do you go longer periods of time without shopping? Those are questions to ask. Let me know if you have more questions. We are happy to help!
@@HawksTakeFlight no its just 3 of us. However 2 of us eat primarily plant based so we need lots of fresh produce. We have a small mini refrigerator right now and not sure if it would suit outer needs. We also have a microwave which we're willing to give up in place if a full size refrigerator. Right now we just purchased 2 2000 watt generators to take on our 1st camping trip. However we should have solor with in the next few months. Any recommendations regarding solor panels would be appreciated. This is all so new to us. Thanks
@@Lilthis_n_that we eat whole food plant based mostly as well.. so that's why a big fridge also works for us because our produce takes up a lot of space. Might be a good idea. Jeff is at work and he is the expert on panels. We have 3200 watts on the roof of our RV. It's a lot more than most RVers but we never have to worry about having enough power. We may need to do a video on that soon.
