This week, Jennifer, Jenn, and Tasha take on one of the most challenging aspects of full-time RV life: raising teens on the road. From making connections in a transient community to handling mental health challenges in small spaces, your co-hosts discuss the real struggles and benefits of raising teens in an RV.ย 

Learn How:

  • Coming together as a family on decisions is crucial when teens are part of RV travel planning.
  • Online friends and gaming communities create ways for road kids to connect.
  • Different age groups face unique challenges entering RV life.
  • Mental health awareness and open communication prevent isolation.
  • Managing multiple teens in small spaces requires strategy.
  • Border crossing documentation prevents major travel disruptions with kids.
  • RV rallies and community events create incredible socialization opportunities.
  • Work camping guidelines can affect social interactions with other campers.
  • Long-term friendships can prove stronger on the road than in traditional neighborhoods.

This episode provides honest insights from families whoโ€™ve taken to the road with their teens and brought back tales to tell.
