Barenakedfamily was featured on Local 8 News San Diego because of our Rent A Family campaign. Ron and Dave came over to our RV home and talked with us about who we are and what we do. They followed us in a neighborhood as we offered our Family for rent.
That's Ron with a camera and Dave the producer following us on the 'Doorsteps of America'.

FAMILY GIVES IT ALL UP, HITS THE ROAD
(07-30-2004) - They call themselves the "bare naked
family." and no, they're not nudists, but they've given up most the
trappings of modern family life. We caught up with them in Escondido -- the
latest stop in a cross-country adventure that has no end in sight.
An RV is home for Greg and Jenn White, and their three kids. Greg left a
six-figure career with dell computer that had given him almost everything he
could want.
“We had two rental homes and the home we were living in and cars and boats
and all that stuff, but I still didn't find the time with my family that I
desired,” Greg said.
So the Whites created their own version of the American dream. For three
years, they've traveled the country, visiting 40 states and logging 50,000
miles.
“We get to meet new kids and new families and travel all over and see stuff
kids don't usually get to,” one of the White kids said.
And mom and dad never worry about a lack of "quality time."
“I taught my girls to read. How many dads can say that?” Greg said.
Not only do they learn and play together -- they work as a family too. They
make a living going door-to-door, offering to do odd jobs.
Greg admits money is tight, but the payoff is the time they spend together and
the people they inspire along the way.
The Whites know few people would choose this lifestyle, but they believe every
family can benefit by examining their priorities.
“I think if a lot of people can step outside of, I gotta do this for money,
and say what do a need to do to be a family, they will find what they need to
be doing,” he said.
The Whites have created a non-profit foundation that works to improve family
relationships. For more information, click here.
