Kenzie and Jesse Herndon live in a 387-square-foot RV with their two kids and dogs full time.
The RV features a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and a large playroom for the kids.
The Herndons also own chickens and goats, and they hope to become self-sustaining in the future.
"Being able to teach our kids that life is not about material things is something that we value," Kenzie Herndon told Insider.

Kenzie and Jesse Herndon decided to downsize in 2018.

Because the RV is sitting in one place permanently, the Herndons were able to build steps and a porch leading into their home.
