In the embrace of the Great Mother, beneath the vast sky’s canopy, lies a path less trodden, woven with the whispers of the wind and the earth’s timeless teachings. Here, families seeking an odyssey of the soul and mind embark upon a journey where RV homeschooling becomes the vessel for life’s greatest lessons. Enter your enchanted trail of RV roadschooling, where the journey and destination merge into an epic classroom without walls. Educating your kids through RV travels aligns well with children of the Earth, as it creates the perfect canvas for exploration.
Weaving Lessons with Words and Wheels Your RV, a chariot of discovery, is ready. Your little ones, budding Earth Children, are eager. Together, you traverse the highways and byways, crafting a curriculum from the soil, the stars, and the stories that dance between. This is the heart of roadschooling—a lifestyle where teaching kids inside an RV ignites a bonfire of knowledge fueled by every mile. Let Nature Narrate the Syllabus Let the rivers teach geography, the forests instruct in biology, and the mountains lecture in geology. Roadschooled children learn the meaning of rain through touch, the architecture of anthills by sight, and the symphony of ecosystems by the subtle art of listening. Action: Map your route to the national parks; each one is a chapter in Earth’s textbook. Infuse Digital Wisdom Blend the old with the new. Augment the whispers of the wilderness with the echoes of digital age resources. Harness apps to uncover the constellations and eBooks to explore the depths of history, making your road school family both timeless and timely. Action: Curate a digital library tailored to your travels; let every download be a door to new dimensions. Forge a Tribe of Travelers Roadschooling is a mosaic of experiences, best shared with a tribe. Connect with fulltime families, those kindred spirits on similar quests, crafting bonds that become as educational as they are emotional. Action: Join online roadschooling communities; let shared stories stitch the quilt of your collective journey. Harvest the Spiritual Harvest Spirituality thrives on the road. Teach your children the language of energy, the power of presence, and the essence of being. Through meditation, mindfulness, or simply stargazing, invite them to commune with the infinite. Action: Create daily rituals that ground and connect; let the spirit’s compass guide your days. Navigating the Earth, Navigating Challenges The path of an RV homeschooling life is one of learning, growth, and occasional bumps. Equip yourself with patience, plan for the unpredictable, and let resilience be both taught and caught. Action: Keep a shared family journal; let every challenge overcome be a trophy engraved in words. Crafting Your Chronicle As you embark on this enchanted trail of knowledge, remember, you're not just educating your kids; you're initiating them into a lineage of lifelong learners, Earth guardians, and bold explorers. Each turn of the wheel is a spell cast for their future, a legacy carved into the annals of the universe.

Listen, act, and transform. Let the roadschooling odyssey begin, and may your RV be a vessel of endless abundance and adventure. Installing vinyl flooring in your RV can be a great way to save on many levels. Find out below five of the ways we found it helpful and why we installed it in our RV ourselves almost immediately. (more below) Mud And Spills Clean Up Easy The RV life often involves raw and dirty adventuring -- and sometimes kids. Oh yes, and some of those nasty RV only messes that can happen in the restroom...well, we won;t go all the way there. For all those unfortunate messes in your motorhome or camper, vinyl flooring makes cleanup so much easier. Vinyl Flooring Makes A Great Waterproof Barrier When we purchased our RV, we noticed the previous owners just painted straight over the sub-floor. Not a super huge deal. But that made it more vulnerable to going bad faster. So, we decided to cover it up with vinyl flooring almost immediately. This actually has helped create a waterproof barrier and keep the sub-floor sturdy much longer. This way, if our roof ever leaks or we have some nasty spill or accident, it's less likely to ruin the sub-floor. (more below) Get That Clean "Home" Feel At A Low Cost
If you like the look of tiles, but want something more versatile and convenient, vinyl flooring may be the way to go. As you can see in the above pictures taken during our installation of the vinyl tiles, they completely change the look of the entire motorhome. It's Lightweight Many tiles can be heavy and easy to break. This creates multiple problems in a rolling home. Vinyl flooring is lightweight and harder to crack. Even if you do somehow manage to mess up a spot, they are easier and cheaper to fill in. Imagine all the extra weight that would be added to your RV if you used traditional tiles. No thank you. I don't know about you, but ours has enough extra weight added as it is. Vinyl Flooring Is Easy To Install And of course, one of the best reasons to install vinyl flooring is that it's super easy to do. There are so many projects and repairs in an RV if you use it often. Vinyl flooring will allow you to do it yourself inexpensively and quickly without having to hire help and pay an extra cost. When roadschooling (homeschooling on the road, if you haven't heard), it's important to find a curriculum that is highly portable, lightweight, but still packed with all the important learning tools and information your child needs for a solid education. Here's why we think time4learning.com fits the bill. No Need To Carry Heavy Books Whether roadschooling in a rolling home (aka RV) or via the family vehicle, you probably want to save the space for gear. Who wants to lug learning material while hiking in the Rocky Mountains or kayaking the rapids? Not us, that's for sure! We often do some pretty rough terrain hikes and intense climbing and other adventuring. We need more room for food, water, and supplies and don;t really have a place for heavy books. Time4Learning allows us this luxury. Ditch the heavy books for a learning method you can fit in your pocket, if necessary. It Fits In Your Pocket! We love that our kids can do Time4Learning's homeschool curriculum via their phones or tablets, if need be. This really comes in handy when we're using nature or another road-trip-worthy excursion in conjunction with lessons. This way, if the day's lessons involve railroad history, we can easily pull it out on a trip to railroad or museum. Then, it can all be done at the same time, for a more memorable lesson. In the photo above, our son was learning about the first continuous land link by railroad across the U.S. How many books do you see in hand? Why? His cell phone was in his pocket so that he could easily access his lessons, if need be. Learn Anytime - Literally We all know that kids have that magic time when they learn the best. When you use Time4Learning during roadschooling homeschool field trips, you can either put the lessons or the adventure first. Your child can log on whenever they want - even 3 a.m, if you approve! This allows children to be more relaxed and focused when they log on. A focused child is more likely to learn than one who is forced to learn before ready. What If Your Child Hates Learning? If your child is like one of ours, gaming is everything and learning is boring. Well, at least that was before roadschooling with Time4Learning, anyway. Because the lessons are very interactive, it's like getting a gaming experience, allowing children to actually enjoy the lessons. The added adventures with the roadschooling lifestyle hardly make it seem like school at all. What About an Internet Connection On The Road? Yes, we know that many RVers face this often. However, getting internet access for using Time4Learning on the road isn't as hard as you think. We use a cell phone plan that includes unlimited data for the kids who use Time4Learning. Then, the rest of the phones have the highest data plan that includes WiFi hotspot. This means that if the kids want to do their learning on the computer or tablet, instead of the phone, they can still access their lessons using the WiFi hotspot. If the cell phone solution isn't an affordable option for your family, most cities and towns have libraries. We've never had problems finding one somewhere on the way there or back, if not in the place we're traveling to. Does My Child Actually Learn With Time4Learning? In our experience, most definitely. We have actually tried other forms of online homeschooling and this is the only one that all of the kids liked, regardless of whether it was used in lower or upper grades. It's also the one they've learned the most using. We think this is because of the built-in entertainment factor. When kids enjoy themselves, they pay more attention, thus making it so the lessons actually stick. *Note: The author was compensated for this review.

We only do reviews for products and services that our family actually uses. Most people know that bungee cords of all sizes are handy to have around. But I bet you never thought of these 10 handy uses for bungees in your motorhome or trailer. Get some bungee cords today and put them to use in your RV to see how well they work. 1. Simple Curtain Tie Attach an eye hook to the wall and use it secure the tie when you need your curtain to stay open. Any lightweight bungee will do the trick, unless your curtain is exceptionally heavy. We found the 3-pack from the Dollar Tree works fine for ours. 2. Portable Toilet If you're temporarily using a portable toilet in your RV, you know it may shift when driving. To avoid accidental spillage, secure an eye hook to the wall behind the toilet on both sides. Then, attach a bungee. Be sure to leave space to use your flush handle, if you have one. The thicker, rubber ones are best to use in this instance, as they tend to hold more weight. We spent less than 2 bucks at Home Depot getting one that works for this. Our portable toilet is a Camco 5.3 Gallon. 3. Secure a Room While Driving We used a long, thick bungee that was about two bucks at Home Depot to secure the bathroom area before we fixed it. This helped while driving because it prevented everything from flying around. This is good if your bathroom (or another room) is under construction, like ours was. It also helps if you have any other area where there may be loose furniture or other semi-big items. The bungee held in a portable washing machine, a baby gate that kept the toilet secure, and a few miscellaneous things that were tucked around those items. 4. Prevent Shelves From Losing Items Or Falling Your wall shelves should be secure, ideally. But if you want some extra protection, try using a bungee cord to secure the shelf even further. We often do this if we want to place something on the shelf that might otherwise fall while driving. It could be a book someone is reading here and there or something else fairly lightweight. This isn't a good solution for heavier items. (Pardon the sawdust in the picture. This was taken right after setting up this particular fix.) 5. Prevent Cabinets From Opening While Driving Since we are in an older motorhome, this is a common problem, as we are under construction. This is a good temporary fix if your existing hardware isn't the best or you are missing the latches. In our case, we just needed to fix the latches. We don't need to use this anymore. But it worked to keep items from flying while we awaited delivery of the appropriate hardware. The simple Dollar Tree bungees were fine for this as well. 6. Secure Loose Work Items When we were doing a lot of work on our vintage RV, this one helped a ton. We kept a Homer Bucket from Home Depot full with all kinds of tools and hardware that we were using every day. We didn't want to have to keep putting away and taking out these items every time we had to drive somewhere. So, we kept it secure with a bungee. The Dollar Tree bungees were fine for this as well. But remember that the heavier the item, the stronger the bungee cord should be. 7. Secure a Loose Door While Driving - If your door is loose and you need to secure it while driving to the repair shop or elsewhere, try using a bungee. Fasten it to the latch and/or screen and secure it to the inside to prevent your door from banging back and forth.
8. Tie Down Luggage - This may seem obvious, but not everyone thinks of it. If you have extra luggage that you don't want stored inside, try securing it to the roof with bungees. Heavy duty bungees should be used for this. 9. Secure an Infant Stroller - If you have a large infant stroller, like our Graco double stroller, you may not want to store it inside your rig all the time. Unless the weather is bad, we prefer to bungee ours to the cargo carrier luggage rack on back. That way, it's easy to grab and then store when going in and out of stores or entertainment facilities. This also works if you want to store the stroller inside because you may not be able to fit it inside a closet. In this case, you can bungee it to keep it from roaming around your RV. 10. Secure a Cooler Full of Groceries - If you just picked up a bunch of groceries and want to wait to put them away until you get to camp, you can throw them all in a large cooler and secure it with a bungee on the roof, in a rooftop cargo box, or in a cargo carrier. |
