'I live in an RV with my six kids - my friends say 'I'm crazy' but I love it'

While most people settle down after having children, one couple has gone the other way and uprooted their little ones for a life on the road. Mum-of-six Heather Tranello, 34, and her husband Jonathan, 34, from Maryland, America, realised in 2019 they'd never travelled out of state - and wanted to change that before it was too late.

They bought a $50,000 (£40,365) RV and have been travelling non-stop for two years - with their kids Hazel, 13, Rosalie, 12, Sylvia, seven, Nora, six, Eli, five, and four-year-old Vera. Since starting out on their adventure, the family-of-eight have visited 43 out of 50 states and 40 out of 63 national parks. Heather home schools their six children on the road - and she says they can’t imagine ever settling down in a brick house again.
