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.

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 who’ve taken to the road with their teens and brought back tales to tell.
