I think the young age of the kids plays a huge part into the success of this family and their travels. I was a bit disappointed they didn't go into some of the more logistical aspects of how they pulled it off or even why they downsized from an Airstream to a camper. I can see how the three kids in the overhead might work but as someone else said, those dinettes are poor substitutes for a real bed for us adults. I would have gone with two kids on the dinette and one in a a bunk bed above it leaving room for the adults in the overhead first.
I think my main question (and obviously having no idea about their finances) is why THAT particular camper. I'm not super familiar with POP Ups myself, just what I have seen at the shows but my impression is they really are geared more towards the off-road or weight conscious crowds more than the always on the road traveling family crowd. Difficult to tell by the pictures but it doesn't look like this camper is large enough for a bathroom though I could be mistaken. I can totally see doing this in my own Bigfoot 10.6 camper and often suggest as much with the girlfriend but I wouldn't even consider living in a camper with young children if it didn't have a working bathroom.
Can any of you pop-up owners comment from your perspective on how you could pull this off in such a rig?
