does she quit when the going gets rough or tough things out?

it will probably take 3 years until it's ready, but she'll learn a ton and it will be great experience

Find your bus
Find your insurance
THEN decide

I must be a bit slow, didn't build my first engine until I was 16 but, it was the fastest car in town for awhile.

I am REALLY slow since I built my first motor when I was 19... it was a Diesel though.. and definitely NOT the fastest car in our garage.,



to the OP i say go for it!! enjoy the time building it together.. in a world today of kids that seemingly would rather play on their iPads , i see this as an opportunity to teach real life skills.. and then the travelling... nothing takes the place in Life of travelling..

What’s her work ethic? That’s pretty much the one thing that will tell you if it’s something that should be discouraged.

It won’t be cheap, if she’s working and can save up and pay for these things then encourage her to think about it because it could be a very financially responsible thing to do long term.

Or it can drain your wallet and never get used.
