RV PROFILE
The huge club lounge really suits the Wallace family .
The first two years for the kids was completed as distance education through New South Wales , where time limits apply . They are now home-schooling through Euka (
https :// euka . edu . au ).
Their advice for newbies : make schooling structured and routine . Choose the days and times to do it and stick to them . Their school days are Monday , Tuesday and Thursday morning , and they all work those same hours . Their extensive driving is done on the other days .
Martene explained that they would sometimes barter with the kids . Do some extra work today to spend more time exploring tomorrow ! It ' s worked well so far – the kids are full of life ; they are funny and way ahead of the game when it comes to socialising .
Martene ’ s advice to other parents hitting the road between six and 12 months is “ to talk with their school about an exemption for that period ; get work for the kids if need be . However , they will learn more on the road than in the classroom and enjoy that time together !”
VAN LIFE
After spending a couple of years in their Royal Flair Aussie Mate , the Wallaces knew what they wanted and didn ' t want in a van . After a call to Royal Flair , a new 2021 EcoMate was designed , and the build process started on this flashy and very literal home on wheels .
My first question to the family : what did you learn from the first time that would make this van a whole lot better than the old one ?
“ The biggest thing we were looking for was to go offgrid and for longer ,” Nathan said . “ We wanted to be a bit lighter on weight . We also wanted to have more water and more solar .
