Inside Little People’s Jacob Roloff’s beat-up VAN where he lives with wife and two dogs as siblings buy massive homes
FORMER Little People, Big World star Jacob Roloff has been living in a beat-up old van with his wife Isabel Rock and their two dogs in the Oregon woods the last few weeks.
The youngest of Matt and Amy Roloff’s four children is all about the van life right now, just as many of his family members are moving into new massive homes.
Jacob, 23, and Isabel, 22, set out on a journey in their 1987 Westfalia named Ruby to visit 10 states and 10 national parks.
They’ve been documenting it all on their respective social media accounts, as well as a page specifically dedicated to the trip, titled Roaming Roloffs.
Although they had been traveling all over the last few months, they’ve camped out their van in Bend, Oregon the last few weeks after Descend On Bend, “a gathering of vans and van-folk,” was canceled.
The married couple eat, sleep and drive in the van, along with dogs Moose and Luna, who have a couple of seats adorned with blankets and play toys set up for them.
They hang out with the back door lifted all the way up to get fresh air and get rest on a sleeping pad on the vehicle’s floor.
There’s also a small kitchen unit installed for cooking and a tiny table to eat at.
Jacob told concerned fans that they use public showers, though there aren’t as many available as he thinks there should be.
On Thursday, the pair updated fans, saying: “We will likely be in this area of Oregon for awhile. It’s been so stormy, we have been getting rain and seeing lightning, we love it!
“Bend is such a van friendly place. We wanted to extend our love, support and encouragement to those of you out there fighting the good fight, maintaining your sanity, and just doing the damn thing. All of our love to you and yours!!”

The former star added: “I get comments on here all the time about how people 'miss me on the show' or telling me I should 'do a few more episodes' with the family; I’m posting this to say that that will never happen.
“For the sake of 'the episode' and ratings I've seen a lot of STORYLINES drawn up (loosely) about our lives, and when I was standing here, behind the scenes and watching it from an outside perspective I just couldn't stop laughing.”
