A lot of parents dream of hitting the road in an RV with their kids, but not many families would choose to live that way full time. Well, that’s not the case with today’s featured Tiny House story! Meet are the Longneckers, a family of SIX that have been living full time in an RV for the last 5 years! They started out by downsizing into a fifth wheel trailer, but after a few years on the road, they realized it was too big. Parking their giant trailer was difficult, and they weren’t able to go off-the-beaten track as much as they would have liked. So they downsized once again! This time into a renovated vintage airstream.

- Bathroom with shower & nature’s head compost toilet
- Desk/Office area so that Jonathan can work on the road
BUT…. WHERE DO THEY ALL SLEEP?
With very limited space in their renovated vintage airstream (only 220 square feet) the Longneckers had to get creative with their interior design. The four children share a sleeping space, with two parallel bunk beds in the middle of the trailer. The parents sleep at the end of the trailer, and every night they have to make their bed by folding down the dining table and re-arranging the couch cushions into a mattress. This process might seem like a pain to some, but sometimes creature comforts have to be sacrificed if you want to live tiny.
WHY LIVE IN AN AIRSTREAM WITH YOUR FAMILY?
The Longneckers have had some amazing experiences over the last five years. They hike and camp in some of the United States’s most beautiful locations, and they home school on the road. As a family, they are closer than most. The kids have formed strong bonds with each other. Everyone is happy, living together on the road, and isn’t that what we all want for our family?

Gisele Bündchen’s New Love Revealed – You Won’t Believe Who!
Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady, a famous couple loved by many, recently decided to go their separate ways, which left their fans feeling sad. However, both Gisele and Tom seem ready to move on. So, who is the man who has captured Gisele’s heart now? Let’s find out!
After being married for 13 years and raising two children together, NFL star Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen decided to split up in 2022. They started dating in January 2007 and got married on February 26, 2009. They have two children together – 14-year-old Benjamin and 11-year-old Vivian. Tom Brady also has a 16-year-old son named Jack from a previous relationship.
There are rumors that Gisele is now dating Joaquim Valente, a jiu-jitsu instructor who was originally just a friend. But their relationship quickly grew into something more. Sources say Gisele and Joaquim have been romantically involved.
Joaquim Valente has been a source of support for Gisele during this new phase of her life after her divorce. What makes their relationship special is that they were close friends before becoming romantically involved. “He has been there for her as she moves forward in this new phase of life after her divorce, and it has been a positive change for her,” a source revealed.
Gisele and Valente share many interests, especially their passion for wellness. Their shared love for staying active, traveling, and taking care of their health has strengthened their bond. “They connect deeply and have a lot of fun together,” the source added.
While Gisele hasn’t directly confirmed the romantic rumors, she has talked about how important Valente is in her life. In an interview with People magazine in March 2023, Gisele expressed gratitude for Valente, highlighting his role as a martial arts instructor for her and her children.
In May of the same year, Gisele and Valente were seen enjoying time together on a beach in Miami. They looked genuinely happy and enjoyed each other’s company.
