Saw this yesterday 28 Jan, and am not quite sure what to think. They do seem to have most of the bases covered though. It was interesting to watch.

That would be like riding in a school bus. My mother in law always says once you get passed so many what is a few more.

Wonder if they're over weight. No tag, looked like a gasser. Can't imagine how they could stay within their GVWR with that crew on board.

Nobody with seat belts in one driving view and an infant being held in mom's arms going down the road. Dangerous and irresponsible IMHO .

Exactly what I was thinking.
One hard stop and you have projectiles with soft heads.

Personally I'm more worried more about security - blame it on my military background but posting where / when they'll be located with what equipment with who does more than half the work for those of ill-intent.

Seem like a public relations buildup to me (who works in military PR) - most likely there's someone advising the family in regards to their blog and media engagements.

DW and kids ride in a minivan as my chase-vehicle when we travel - would never let them roam the MH when driving.

Tomaso- Valid point, I wouldn't want everyone knowing when/where I'll be somewhere. There are way too many psychos in the world.

I couldn't see having that many people in an RV. A MH's first few feet are unusable unless you're going to sit in the driver's seat to sleep. We have a 40ft fifth wheel and with just my husband, myself and my dog it is tight quarters. I also couldn't imagine grocery shopping everyday because I didn't have enough space (precisely why I just put in a residential) BUT to each their own and I'm sure there family is more tight knit than most. Hopefully there isn't too much sibling rivalry going on in there, could you imagine that many kids always fighting in such close proximity -nightmare!
