How One Family Plans To Do ‘Remote Learning’ In Their RV

Imagine getting closer than ever as a family by disconnecting from it all. In this Zevely Zone, I went to Carlsbad to meet a family leaving it all behind with an RV road trip.

The Feehrer family wouldn't necessarily consider themselves campers.

"No not really," said Lauren Feehrer in front of her Carlsbad home. Parked in the driveway is the family's new RV.

Imagine packing up your family of four and leaving COVID in your rear-view mirror.

"Ah a little overwhelmed yeah a lot to do," said Dave Feehrer. The husband and wife and their two boys just bought an RV for 12-thousand dollars and it's beautifully decorated.

"Thank you, we actually bought it from a family in Encinitas who lived in it before us," said Lauren.

The Feehrers figured this school year, Lucas (9) and Jesse (7) can remote learn from remote places.

"This is a great opportunity to go camping," said Lucas who will be a 4th grader.
