A family of six who swapped their dream home for a trailer have travelled more than 100,000 miles around the US in three years after becoming bored of suburbia.

Jonathan Longnecker, 38, and his wife Ashley, 35, said their lives once revolved around mortgage payments and maintaining their four bedroom terraced home.

The couple, from Knoxville, Tennessee, were inspired to travel with their four children when Jonathan’s friend embarked on a similar adventure with his teenagers.

Jonathan, a web designer, knew he could work on the road and Ashley was already homeschooling the couple’s children, Adali, 12, Jett, 11, Jax, nine, and Ada, seven.

Looking for a change, they sold their house in April 2015, paid off their mortgage and used the $40,000 (£31,000) profit to purchase an RV.

The family travelled to Maine in May, and spent the winter in the Florida Keys before selling the RV and buying a 1972 Airstream for $13,000 (£10,000) in the summer of 2016 instead.

The couple spent six months and $30,000 (£23,000) renovating the trailer, and so far they’ve travelled to 30 states in it, and they don’t plan on stopping any time soon.

Jonathan said:We were living the American dream.We had a big house, I was running my own successful website development business.

But we were spending so much time maintaining the house and paying our mortgage.

Jonathan says that inside the vehicle, there’s a table which folds into a queen sized bed and four bunk beds for the kids which turn into sofas.

Their waste is composted and they also have solar panels.The family, who are in South Dakota right now, loosely plan their adventures and settle in each place for an average of three weeks.

Highlights from the travels include a trip to the Dry Tortugas, where they took a ferry around 70 miles of the cost of Key West to a little island in the middle of nowhere.

Ashley said: ‘We tent camped there for two nights where we practically had the island to ourselves.

The couple say food and fuel are the family’s greatest expenses but their routine on the road is much like that of normal families.

Ashley said: ‘Most of the time our mornings consist of work, schoolwork, and reading before we head out to hike or go on some adventure.

There are some days when we have more projects than others so there are the occasional full days of work, but most of the time we head out in the afternoon to do something fun.
