EER074: Full-time living in a trailer with kids

Would you consider living in a trailer with kids? Jason Calhoun and his wife Danielle asked themselves this question. The answer changed their lives forever.

 

LIVING IN A TRAVEL TRAILER

No the Calhoun family isn't living in a trailer with kids on the edge of town now. They didn't move into a trailer park. Instead, they're living in a travel trailer, and doing that travel trailers do best: travel. They've crossed from America's west coast to east twice so far and are really learning the joys and challenges of living in a trailer with kids.

FULL-TIME LIVING IN A TRAILER WITH KIDS

Living in a travel trailer is not all freedom and high-fives, however. They've had some challenges, and Jason discusses a few of them here. Listen in to hear more about how they handle education, remote working, social life, and everything they've learned from living in a travel trailer with kids.
