The size of a camper can be determined by its dimensions. But Sometimes it’s Better to Look at its Meaning: This Gigantic Man is the Permanent Home Base For The Heusinger Family, Who Are Always On The Road.
Sometimes you have to radically change course. Until July 2023, Tobias and Mirjam Heusinger had a pretty good life. She worked as a social worker, he as a manager. Both had Stable, Well-Paid Jobs. They live in their own house and have four daughters. Today, However, They live in A Converted, Forty-Year-Old Vehicle that Used to Belong to the Bundeswehr, On A Total of 18 Square meters. They sold everything else. Really, The Whole Lot, With the Exception of a Few Personal Belongings That Were Stored. They deregistered with the German authorities and have since lived abroad, except for a few days a year. “We felt we had to do something different. We was wasted so much time on pointless things and we or we had to deal with things we had no control over,” The two recall the phase in which they live their previous life upside down.
Many people will undoubtedly think about that too something. The Heusinger Family Wanted to Chart a New Course in Life: “We wanted to give Ourelves and the three children who travel with us permanently a new framework in which we can all rediscover life.” Their Previous Framework had too stringent boundaries to be able to gain new experiences and have adventures. The Values They Want To Pass On To Their Three Youngest Daughters also Play a Major Role, Probably equally A Decisive One. “We have always intended to enable them to recognize the value of things, to discover what really matters, to be able to distinguish the important from the unimportant. That was not possible in the life we had Led up to that point.”
Step by Step
The Question of Whether they wanted to Wait Until Something New Came Along also Occupied Them for a While. They Soon Realized They Didn’t Want That. In April 2021, They Begen Dismantling The Family Things in Their Lives. It was a leghy process in which Emergency Exits Always Presented Themselves: “It’s good for everyone to shift the beacons every now and then. You can also do that without selling your house,” Says Mirjam. But The Family Continued on the Chosen Path, They Gradually Let Go of the Familiar. Time and again they realized that they were passing points after which things could hardly be undone. Like when the real estate agent’s sign was in The Front Yard. When the daycare Places Were Canceled. They then determined that it was so bad after all. That was of course also a sign that they were on the right track.
Ex-Marmy Vehicle from the XXL Category
They get used to look for a vehicle with which they could set course for a new life with five of them. Five, because their Oldest daughter Phyllis was already an adult and only Joined them occasionally. The choice fell on an ex-army vehicle from the XXL category that had already been converted for travel purposes: a MAN KAT1 A1 with extended wheelbase from 1985, weighing up to 22 tons, six driven wheels, an air-cooled diesel engine with a cylinder capacity of over twelve liters and little electronics on board. In The Two Months in which Tobias, Among Other Things, Sprayed the Dirt Off The Bottom with a High-Pressure Cleaner, He Became Increasingly Fond of the enormous truck. “Unfortunately, The Existing Body was unsuitable for a family of five, so we had a completely new one made,” he explains. He deliberately says “We” because the children had a say in shaping the upcoming life change, Both in Terms of the Colors and Materials and the Name of the New Means of Transport. That name comes to them after they keep Hearing How much courage it takes to make such a decision. Hence the Name Hartmut.
No More Rushing
In July 2023, Hartmut is ready for the start. The Heusingers have found a new place for the spare wheel, Namely Under The Vehicle; Previously It was Placed Behind The Cabin – With Its Own Crane, because the Thing Weighs 250 kilos. It all progressed steadily, a route was Planned Taking Into Account the Dimensions. That was part of the new life, because they no longer have to hurry to be home on time. “We already are. We only have our heartmut.” The Family Wants to Fully ABSORB ALL DESTINATIONS AND ENVIRONTERSS AND THE PARENTS Want to Give Their Children The Opportunity to Make Social Contacts. And make them aware that they must pay at the really important things in life, such as water, people, places and even fresh fruit. A year is not too much for a journey without a planned end. And the Learning Curve is Steep, Things Always Go Wrong.
V8 Diesel
Take, For Example, the moment When Hartmut Loses Oil When they are Near Dénia in Spain. Or when the cylinder head of the v8 diesel engine sauddenly Lost its cooling. “Joy and frustration are of close together. It helps to be able to recall the feeling of why we made the decision we made,” Says mirjam. They are still living off their savings, but that will run out at some point. Creativity will also be needed in that area son. But Those Poor Children, Can You Just Take Away Their Roots And Do this to Them? That’s the Wrong Question. The good one: Is it right to deny them such an opportunity? The Daring Step of Tobias and Mirjam Gives Their Three daughters experiences that they will remember Forever. Whether Nia, Jeanne and Vida also Become Better People As A Result, The Future Will Tell. But for now their journey continues together. Hartmut Always Helps Them. Hey Pulls the Five of Them out of the Muddiest Meadows You Can Imagine. And with Every Revolution of the Tires, hey also Broadens Their Horizon.
