Ticknor Tribe

One common "objection" we hear as to why a family just cannot travel full time is that they have too many kids to be on the road. Well, to that we say..."Nonsense!". And to prove our point, we introduce to you, The Ticknor Tribe.

Vaughn and Dana Ticknor are traveling the country with their 11 children this year...in a 40 foot fifth wheel pulled by an extended cab truck and followed by a 15 passenger van. Be sure to watch the video above to hear about their travels and get a tour of their rig.

When Christine came by the RV and said "there is a family rolling in with 11 kids!"...we said "SWEEEEEET!". Apparently that's not the normal reaction the Ticknors get from campgrounds :) Sometimes they won't even let them camp there. Which is crazy when you realize how fun and inviting this family is! They fit right in with the 11 other kids that were already at Hill Shade! Their arrival was quite the event...check it out:


Bella had so much fun playing in the field with everyone...


Matt shared the veggie oil love with Vaughn...

And here are a few photos of their rig:



Aren't these skylights great!?

You can see more photos of their home here...they also explain in more detail how they made this rig work for their family.

The Ticknors are from Montana...so we hope to catch up with them again someday! Be sure to check out their travels at their blog, The Ticknor Tribe.

Wonderful video. Love their rig, so much room. Sad that they are not able to find RV parks that will take them, we have had the same problem and we have 5. Dana's blog is wonderful, she shares such great details about the places that they go. I hope we get to meet them someday :) Thanks for sharing Sara!

My hubby and I are so inspired by you guys AND The Organic Sister site.. so much so that we have begun our search for our very own "rig" Today we went to see a few and are scheduled to look at another this evening!

I love seeing pictures of the inside of RVs. I'm amazed at how much you can do with the interiors! I thought that they were all pretty much the same before I saw this site.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video! We have four children and are planning to hit the road in a couple of years. So nice to see a large family making it work!

Wow, This is comforting because I have 6 kids and wasn't totally sure how we'd make things work. Thank you so much.
