How Couples Survive RV Life: Kids, Intimacy, and Staying Sane in Small Spaces

RV LIFE Podcast

Can your relationship survive life in 300 square feet? In this episode I (Patti Hunt) welcomes full-time RVers James & Kelly Raber, of the RoadRabers, we have a candid talk about the emotional, logistical, and marital challenges of full-time RV living with three kids. From communication breakdowns and moving every four days to embracing intimacy and humor in tight quarters, the RoadRabers share actionable insights from five years on the road. You'll hear how they navigate burnout, back-in battles, parenting, and prioritizing each other, all while keeping the wheels turning. If you're a traveling couple or RV-curious family, this episode is your survival guide.
