[quote=Anonymous]I would do it in a heartbeat. How old are your kids?  I would aim to do it when they're old enough to remember but not too old that it can hurt them socially.  Here's why:

My sister and her family (two daughters who were pre-middle school - forgot exact ages) bought an RV and traveled around the US for two years.  Her DH had a small tech company and worked from the RV.  They had a wonderful experience, however, both girls had a hard time adjusting to school because they returned in middle school.  Not academically, but socially.  The older one was very mature and didn't make friends because she thought she was smarter than everyone else.  The younger one was the opposite - very immature and tried to please everyone.

Things eventually got better but it was a tough adjustment.  Of course, everyone is different - but this was one experience of one family.

I think one year would be better and again, a little bit younger kids.

Good luck!  We travel a lot internationally with our DD who is now a teen and has very fond memories of our various travels.
