Raising Your Family on the Road
Choosing a life of nomadic adventure affects everyone in your home, especially your kiddos. Life on the road can be amazing, educational, and full of opportunities for growth. It can also be full of questions and confusion.

Thankfully, there are communities like Xscapers and Fulltime Families that were created to support non-traditional RVers! In this issue, you'll find information about family-friendly events for Xscapers, advice from fellow nomadic families, and more info about how to connect with other families on the road.
 
Family-Friendly RV Rally
 
Make Money & RV Summit

For the past several years, Fulltime Families has helped Escapees RV Club host a kid-friendly event that coincides with our all-club annual rally, Escapade. Our next Escapade in June 2020 will be no different!

While others are attending seminars during the day, Kidscapade offers the younger RVers a chance to learn, socialize with other pint-sized RVers, and enjoy activities designed for them, in partnership with Fulltime Families.

In addition to Kidscapade, there will be activities planned for the Xscapers in attendance at Escapade, too. Remember the taco and margarita happy hour last year?! Mmmmmmm... 🌮🌮🌮

The 2020 Escapade is June 21-26 in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Tickets go on sale September 10, so make sure you reserve your spot at this fantastic event!

More Tips for Traveling Families
 
 

Wondering how to fit all your family members and their activities in an RV? Kevin and Emma Ridley show how they've upgraded and modified their RVs to create space for their family of four. From homeschool space to fresh food storage, they're full of ideas on how to make your rig work for you!
 

Whether your little gets antsy on long travel days or they're stuck inside because it's too hot, cold, or wet to play outside, you know the value of an educational distraction! Melanie Carr, Escapees RV Club VP and co-founder of Xscapers, shares some of her favorite mobile apps for keeping her boys engaged and entertained.

Tight spaces can lead to tense communication. When you throw kiddos in the mix, it can get even harder. In this heartfelt post from Andrew and Rikki Pullen, they talk about some of the struggles they face as a family and how they learned to work through them and create a more harmonious home.
