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.
TAKE A TOUR OF THIS FAMILY’S INCREDIBLE RENOVATED VINTAGE AIRSTREAM :

FEATURES OF THIS RENOVATED VINTAGE AIRSTREAM:
- Large kitchen
- Solar Power – 400 amp hour batteries
- 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?

“What Has She Done to Her Face?” Jennifer Aniston’s Latest Appearance Leaves Fans Shocked
Jennifer Aniston wowed in a crimson dress during her latest appearance. But many fans were surprised, saying that the star looked different.
Jennifer Aniston captivated everyone’s attention at the Emmy FYC event for her acclaimed drama, The Morning Show, on Sunday.
The 55-year-old former Friends star, known for her role as TV anchor Alex Levy on the Apple TV+ series, looked stunning in a stylish sleeveless dress as she arrived at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles.
The star radiated charm in a deep red dress adorned with a floral pattern, accentuated by a matching ruby pendant gracing her décolletage. And while many were gushed over her elegant appearance, others couldn’t help but point out that the star was looking very different.
One person wrote, ’’What has she done to her face?’’, another added, ’’Jen is desperately trying to hold on to her old Friends looks. It can’t happen, she is much older now […]’’ A third wrote, ’’Her face looks weird because of all the work she has had done. She would have looked better with less.’’
We think Jennifer Aniston looks fabulous, but stars in the spotlight often have their appearances closely observed and commented on. Nicole Kidman is another example; her recent red carpet appearance caused quite a stir.
