Families who travel together get to experience the world in a way that connects them in new and fun ways.

That is why choosing the best vehicle for traveling is a crucial aspect for families that love the road, and look forward to the adventure. Whether you are looking at riding in an RV, SUV, minivan, crossover, car, or truck, you must consider how reliable the vehicle is, safety options available, and the comfort of all the passengers before making that final vehicle decision.

Isla WrightPublished 5 years ago in WheelWhy I Decided to Become a Car Dweller?
It was August 2012, I was a single middle class divorced mom. I started renting a house in Schaumburg, Illinois for $1,500 a month with a salary of $72,000 to support two junior high school kids that eventually attended a private high school in Arlington Heights, Illinois. By the seventh year, my son has grown on to college, and I lived alone with my daughter who was playing soccer, running Cross Country, and playing AAU basketball in her senior year. Anyone that has or had teenagers that played either high school sports or on any AAU team knows that it’s like investing in a small based business where the overhead is higher than the productivity. I was spending about $2,700 a quarter on both kids in extra curricular fees alone.

When I was five years old, my parents had a small 10-foot camper that they kept in their backyard. It was to small to really do much of anything in it. I recall that it had a table that sat right next to a big window. Through that window I could see the backyard. It was like my escape from reality. When I first discovered that the door was unlocked, I would sneak out and sit at the table and play with my pick up sticks.

"Hey assholes! Let's get rippin'!" "Does everyone have gas? Better fill up now because we have a long trip ahead of us." It's 4 AM and the sun is still hanging out on the east.

The black of the early morning is starting to fade into light and I make my way to the bathroom to finish what I started. The fun is about to begin and the road awaits.
