I used to watch narrowboat vlogs and felt it a shame for those children not to be able to mix with others their age at school, run freely, spend time at friends' houses or create a trusted, local, social circle. The children seemed happy enough, although that's probably because they don't have anything for comparison. Vans are even more cramped than narrowboats, and don't get me started on what they might see/hear of their parents'/carers' romantic liaisons in such close quarters. It seems like a semi-feral existence.What are everyone’s thoughts on full time van/motorhomers who travel with their school age children?
All those I’ve watched say there are “personal reasons“ as to why they removed their child(ren) from school and have chosen to home school them instead. I always think, yeah the reason is you wanted to go travelling and couldn’t do it if your child was in mainstream school.

If I saw someone doing it with it all planned around the kids' education I'd be all for it as think it would be an amazing opportunity but all I've ever seen is people dragging them around not really doing much or making it up as they go along (the Rucks for example) and that just seems a real wasted opportunity to me. If anyone's seen anyone doing a really good job of it, let me know as id love to watch! Instead I end up just feeling sorry for the kids sitting for hours on end in a van and sleeping on car parks.What are everyone’s thoughts on full time van/motorhomers who travel with their school age children?

Yes, Escape in the Motorhome seem to be the only ones who seem to take the home schooling of their children seriously. The mum does her research and educates them (and us!) on all their visits. She also seems to ensure the children keep to their online school lessons timetable. Sadly this family are the exception rather than the rule. The couple are a bit clueless when it comes to the motorhome though! In France they left a window open and it was gone when they arrived at their next stop! Then the bathroom door fell off and then they ran out of gas. As newbies, I guess they are learning as they go and it makes a nice change to see the reality rather than the glamorous YouTube/Instagram version.I dont know if any one watches escape in the motorhome. They seem to do quite a few educational visits and home schooling.
The rucks how have they afforded 140k motorhome. Wen they only just opened there business and dont have regular jobs
Came here to say I'm cynical too. An area with a high crime rate but none of the shops have CCTV?So travel beans had their van broken in to. Afterwards they read reviews of the area on park for night where exactly the same thing had been happening. With a convenient promotional ad for Better Help thrown in for good measure.
Call me cynical but.......at least no one has set up a gofundme yet.
Spain has far less CCTV than most western countries so it's not uncommon. If it had happened in London there'd be video from a thousand different angles.Came here to say I'm cynical too. An area with a high crime rate but none of the shops have CCTV?
A cynical person would point out how terribly convenient this fact could be...Spain has far less CCTV than most western countries so it's not uncommon. If it had happened in London there'd be video from a thousand different angles.
And BetterHelp is dodgy AF as well.not saying it was staged but it felt staged. they have encountered quite a bit of drama with their vans the past couple years
doesn't help that their sponsor was better-help... coincidence?
