Which is more important?
Hello full timers! My husband is a premed student, about half way done, and we decided that while he his going to school, we would live in an RV. This just about guarantees us a place to live no mat...

Have you looked at how convenient the RV parks are for the schools he's considering? How far away are they from the school? What kind of reviews do they get? Do they allow permanent residents? What are the schools like?
I'll add that (I did it for 6 months), living in a small space like an RV is rather freeing for the first few months. But it does get old quick. Spending a month with a two year old in an RV is a LOT different than spending 10 years with 4 growing kids in an RV. Things as simple as getting ready for school in the morning will be a lot more difficult. Bathing can be an issue - will you have them showering when they're too big for the baby bath? RV Park restrooms don't have baths - showers only, and many RVs only have showers.
As for the kids making friends, my point was more that if your kids do make friends easily, you can find that instead of having 4 kids in the small space, you have 6 or more kids running around all the time. As the kids get older, they're going to want to spend more time with their friends - that means either they go visit the friends or the friends come visit them. It can get crowded very quickly (there were 3 of us and at times we had 8 or 9 kids running through the house after school, etc.).
You also haven't mentioned your tow vehicle at all - do you have one already or will you have to buy one?
