DON'T Get a Knock on the Door. CAN We GO Stealth? HDT RV Travel. Van Life Does it. Fulltime RV Life
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- We travel 365 days a year with over 80 stops and nearly 20,000 miles...in a HUGE rig. Should we be Vanlife? Where do we overnight? How do we fit anywhere?
Stealth camping? Overnight on the street? Home cooking?
Van Life ( Vanlife ) is easier navigating but there are many disadvantages as well. Come along on our 5 day journey as we dive deep into our way of fulltime living on the road.
Come join our Facebook Group, Big Truck Big Travels for more details such as Alaska itinerary, annual costs and RV stuff.

RV Camping
We like to "Switch it Up" between resorts and campgrounds and boondocking is always an option.
We draw inspiration from Keep Your Daydream KYD, Less Junk More Journey, Finding Our Someday and Changing Lanes. We normally travel in an HDT similar to UA-cam channels Suite Travels, Switch it Up and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks (Happilyeverhanks) #thankshanks and believe it or not, I actually learned something from MRBeast Mr Beast video's as well. We're not exactly taking Life in the Slow Lane but we do stop and smell the roses.
Our journey is the destination. We want to share our experiences of our discovery of What's Next.

We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a bundle each time we fill up our Big Rig. We also use it to fill up our Onan generator.
The big blue boards (XL version) we use sometimes to get us "un-stuck" is from:

Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multi-plus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.
Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.
Vehicles:
2016 Volvo VNL780 "Voyager"
2016 Smart fortwo "Pathfinder"
2019 SpaceCraft Custom built semi-trailer 5th wheel "Orion"
2023 Thor Magnitude XG32 Class C "Curiosity"
2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara "Artemis"
Power system:
3250 watts of solar with Panasonic panels
30.1 KWH of Lithium batteries
2- 4K watt Magnum Inverters deliver power as if we are on shore power
2- 4K watt 240v Cotek Inverters deliver additional power for our LG Mini split HVAC and stove
Coachnet is our roadside assistance company we use but hopefully we don't use them too often. LOL
We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded.

Sondra - you missed a golden opportunity at around 49:43 -
"...are you kind of bowled over with emotion now? Did I strike out?"
I was waiting for you to say "Spare me" 😁
🤣🤣🤣 that's great! Where were you when David and I were having that conversation?!? I'm not witty and can't think fast on my feet like David. 😉
@@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726 - I doubt I would have been that quick on the uptake in real time. I had the advantage of being able to replay the section to give me sufficient 'I shoulda' said' response time.
That's good, Susan. I may steal that one!
Young people watch and learn this lovely couple teaching you how to live life and be happy
Yeah, this is after you earn a few million btw
@@georgejulien3286 true that
Thank you so very much. We certainly have enough experience... but the main thing is live today but plan for tomorrow. Work hard and save more so the future will be easier.
@georgejulien3286
The key word is EARN!!! We busted our butts for 27 years, lived off of a tight budget and saved every dime we could so we could enjoy retirement. 😉
@@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726 You did well. Enjoy every moment ❤️❤️❤️
What a great life you are living. Thanks for taking us along. I can't imagine all the hassles of filming and editing, but I look forward each week to catch up on your weekly travels.
AMEN ME TOO ❤️🙏🙏
Thanks, Doug. We are glad to share our experiences and happy that you are along on the journey. We do it for everyone who enjoys RV life and for our memories as well.
I love your channel, would love to see you incorporate cooking lunch and dinner. That would be awesome. Bless you both
Thank you. We're trying to mix it up and show our daily lives.
If those chickens only knew how many Chester's Chicken pieces you bought, they would have scrammed. LOL Loved the video, and the music was great. Safe travels!
That's funny! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You got that right, Phyllis! Hmmm...I wonder if they could smell it on us? 😆
You're such a good driver, Sandra! It's always wonderful watching you drive that big rig! How inspiring 😊
Thanks Jacqueline 😊
I'm getting better. I can straight back in and parallel park. I
Now I have to learn to do a 90° back in. 😬
She does good and is very conscientious on the road.
I love that you guys pay attention to the little things, recognize those that give great deals and services, and are so down to earth. It's a real pleasure to watch your videos. ❤😊
Thanks. Sometimes it's the little details which make life interesting.
Very enjoyable episode with a cliff hanger ....😱 . The 75 cent ice cream cones was a awesome bonus for y'all . 😊
Glad you enjoyed it and really appreciate your support.
Kansas is one hot state. I miss TX and Whataburger. Thanks for the great content.
Our pleasure, Bob! We have family in Kansas so we return almost every year for a reunion on the farm. Love the wheat blowing in the breeze!
I would love to watch an episode that includes some of the meals that Sondra cooks then freezes especially her preparation for Alaska. I love your frugality and home made meals just taste better but sometimes I need inspiration to find new ideas. Love your channel!!
Thanks. Sondra loves to meal prep and find better ways to organize our food!
I'm always impressed with the spots you guys manuver into, great job, great videos, thanks for sharing your travels.
Thanks for watching, Gary! Some are tighter than others but we try to make it work.
Hi guys!! Beautiful places to stay!! Everybody thinks we're too big to fit in spots with our 42' 5th wheel. But we fit in most places. Hit the road this morning...a day later then planned. Drove past Twin Falls on our way to Idaho Falls today. Will be in Montana at our friends tomorrow. Sondra, I have hot flashes when we get low on fuel. Happened today after hubby said "oh we're fine"!! Safe travels you guys and hope to see you on the road someday!! 💜
Lol. I'm glad someone out there understands me! 🤣 we have a 1500 mile range but you just never know! 🥴
Someday on the road, always fun to say hi! Size matters... but it hasn't prevented us from going where we want to go.
Thank you very much for all the videos you make . I’m French Lady, living in Strasbourg and again, thanks to you, I can travel through this beautiful country in which I lived for three wonderful years (30 years ago) . At that time we were able to visit 26 States. 😊You are a nice couple with a good sens of humor. By the way my son lives in Florida. Don’t change anything, Stay as you are. You make my days….. 😉🤗
You are very welcome and we're excited to have you along on the journey.
I absolutely love the longer videos and this was a good one. Thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
I am so happy you two stopped for an ice cream cone at Little America. That is always a must stop when I am passing through. Safe Travels, and Happy Journeys!
It's so good! We're making that a regular stop for us too now!
My hubby and I were owner operator truckers team drivers and left the road in 2013.
I’m loving your videos and have been to many of the places you go.
Yes! Sapp Brothers!!
We stayed at a Harvest Host golf course in Amarillo, Texas. It was great. We rented clubs and played a round of golf. It’s a great memory.
Very nice, Kathy. They had a men's league going on so I couldn't get out there.
I ran 84 -> 80 eastbound hauling a load out of Portland about two weeks before you came through westbound. That is such a beautiful area. Little America is a real gem. Time permitting, I like to stop there. The food is good and reasonably priced. A coworker of mine stops there every time she goes through there, just to take a bath.
I really love your Volvo 780. I miss the Volvo 760 that I had at my old company. I'm a few years from retirement, and I want to buy a used Volvo or Cascadia, drive commercially long enough to get it paid off, then use it as a HDT to pull a 5th wheel camper for retirement.
Love the plan. We love travel days because of the Volvo. Little America is a real gem. Thanks
Oh, no … a cliff hanger … I enjoyed seeing your everyday travel life. It was not “boring” as you predicted David. At least not for me who’s whole RVing knowledge comes from you and Sondra. Thanks for sharing your life and the gorgeous videos and photos. Glad Sondra was able to photograph some wildlife. That ground hog or prairie dog was cute! Enjoy your week in Idaho. See you next Thursday!
I'm new to the channel and these two are really growing on me , 😊 .
It was actually a Marmot ❤. There were two of them running around. One was really shy. Thanks for the comment. We really appreciate your support 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! See you next week...or tomorrow!
Yummy. I have a microwave in my office. Insulin in the fridge😅 I’m ready to watch a new episode!
LOL...that's funny!
@24:38 In regards to the parking spot question, you can see multiple dome cameras mounted on those poles on the right (3 per pole). Either someone is manually looking and updating periodically or there is a system that detects big rigs when they park and the sign updates automatically.
Thank you. We noticed that upon re-watching the video. Appreciate you trying to keep us straight!
Inspired me to pick up my camera again. Reminder to appreciate what we have been given. Thanks Guys. Happy Trails.
You're welcome. That's one of the good things about the channel, it "forces" you to get the camera out.
We have been watching your channel for a long time never thought to subscribe but now we have an HR. We really love your Alaskan tips and your other tips
Awesome! Thank you! Enjoy the freedom and the road.
It was nice meeting you guys at the Rally…Happy Truckin 😊
Thank you. Always great to meet people on the road. Hope you had a great rally, it was fun getting together. Keep it between the ditches!
We made a spice cake with Sondra's recipe while watching the video. We had to back up to verify the proportions. We used spice cake mix and cream cheese frosting. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
Yay! That's awesome! I love this recipe especially for just the two of us and it's so versatile. I've also added carrots, walnuts, cinnamon, and craisins to a spice cake mix which is good too. 🤩
That is awesome! You are heading down the dark path to RVing! 😆 🤣 Glad you enjoyed it.
Your the level they need to be, less people will always negate the possibility of success,.
Thanks for watching the channel.
Beautiful time of year to go through some beautiful country. Another excellent video. Love your camping style.
Glad you enjoyed it, Bill. It's truly special in this area.
And it was all going so wonderful....until the infamous $.75 cone appeared from the heavens over Little America......and I had to put you on pause because it made me want some of my Breyer's Carb Smart Chocolate (and I sprinkled chopped walnuts on it to boot)! And what a way to finish your video. Thank you for ALL of that! I really enjoy seeing the places you come up with to stay at, good or not so good. Keeps things interesting. Continued safe travels.
Glad you could hit the pause button to get your "nourishment" in order to make it to the end of the video! 😆 🤣
@@bigtruckbigtravels All your fault lol. I never want to put you on pause!
ONCE AGAIN 😍outstanding job filming and editing!! Putting this together was VERY ENTERTAINING. How about a Q and A in the next couple weeks. I would love to hear your thoughts on some things. Favorite place to stay, worst place, do you have friends on the road you connect with and stay together, favorite RV stay location, how do you budget for the year? Does your daughter ever come and camp with you?? Gosh i could fill a whole segment. Lol. Thank you for helping me get through a night of insomnia 😊 SAVE TRAVELS
Glad we could be there for you. We're going to do a little something like that when we hit 50K subscribers since we've had some questions...yours alone could be a video! 😆 Thanks for watching.
You guys are fun to watch! Thank you for sharing your travels with us! And 75cent cone is a deal!
Thanks, Catherine and we think the cone is a great deal.
I am a retired truck driver, do yall need a driver 😁 I enjoy your excursions. You two are way cool!!! ♥️
😆 🤣 Katherine, that is tempting but you'd have to sleep in the truck cab.
Love the videos! Always look forward to Thursdays. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching the channel.
Nothing like a cool wash cloth to greet you after battling the heat outside. Thanks Sondra❤
David does so much of the work it's the least I could do to help out. 😁
So true! It's very nice!
David....we stopped at Little America two days ago but did not get the ice cream. I believe that Little America was founded in the early part of the 1900's by a traveler that was stranded in a blizzard. As there is no other place within miles of that location he decided to build a safety shelter that has now been greatly expanded. BTW, there is another little america location in Cheyenne.
Ok. Thanks. Next time, you should try the ice cream!
Kansas has great rest areas with wonderful RV parking. Had a semi there with us once. No way would I complain. They have never complained to us. I know they needed some good sleep. Love Kana's rest areas
They are very nice. Even places to overnight.
Believe it or not, those Newton round abouts actually improved those intersections from what they were years ago.
I'll bet. I like them!
I loved the look you got right after you said “we’re going back, I’ve got a plan and I hope it works”
She does give me that "look" quite often, John. 😎🤣😂
The bowling alley you camped at is just a couple of blocks from my house. I wish I could have met you guys. I have been watching you guys for over a year. Next time you are this way maybe we can meet up.
That is sooo cool, Karen. We enjoy seeing everyone on the road when it works out. Thanks
That was excellent! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Interesting. we just came through the I80 corridor in Wyoming this last week. Love the Unita Lanes in Evanston. We stayed there a couple of years ago, before that storage place was built next door. I had a feeling as soon as David mentioned you were staying at a bowling alley that was where you would end up. Great videos.
Small world but we hope you had good weather, David as you were passing through. Not too many overnight bowling alley's in Wyoming! Thanks for watching.
Just a great, informative video!! Y’all rock!
Glad you enjoyed it, Cheri! We're out west so more stuff to see. Thanks
Regarding the rest area…. There could be either a sensor under on & off ramp or a sensor on a post at the ramps. Thats my guess.
I cry 😭 when I have to pay $50 at the gas pump. Thank you for taking us along your journey.… safe travels.
🤣😁It's no fun filling the Big Rig up with fuel. We're used to the big numbers but it still isn't our favorite thing to do!
That sure is a sweet rig you've got. Of course, many would find it a little intimidating to drive through small towns, cities and similar tight places. Kudos for your wife's bravery! Mine won't even attempt to drive our 35 ft motorhome, which we feel is the sweet spot between the space, amenities and carrying capacity of a big rig like yours, and the maneuverability and access to boondocking places of Class B size austerity. We're sure envious of all the roof space you guys have for tons of solar though. I'd be afraid of taking a rig your size offroad or even down muddy forest service roads or across desert sand washes for fear of getting stuck. At least you can back up easier than we can flat towing our toad. BTW, we love Whataburger too! We hate Kansas though. The last time there we overnighted in a Walmart in Liberal Kansas and our coach almost got overturned by hurricane force winds. It was so strong it even popped the windshield out of its frame - scary for sure!
We're retired FT RVers who discovered we love boondocking. In fact, we boondocked for 10 months last year. We designed and built our off-grid electrical system ourselves, on a limited budget. We started by building a 620-watt liftable solar array on the side of our National Tropical MH. Our side array makes a nice bedroom window awning too, practically lifting itself with a couple gas struts, and it's easy to clean, standing safely on the ground. Next, we built a 12v, 560ah LiFePo-4 battery using 8, 280ah prismatic cells and a Heltec 330amp BMS.
By mounting this solar array on the side of our coach, we left the roof free to rack 8, 550w solar panels down the length of our 35ft Class A, 15" off the roof, above our AC, vents, etc. It shades our entire roof, allowing plenty of cooling air underneath, increasing solar output and reducing the heat load on the air conditioners. Our 4,400w roof array can run both our A/Cs, our household appliances and charge our batteries from solar at the same time. We can even run our mini split heat pump 24/7 providing both A/C and heat powered by the sun. We use a Sungold Power all-in-one 48V, 5,000W PSW Inverter/100A charge controller/battery charger that saves us space as well as money compared to a system built with individual components. Our 48v battery uses 16, 320ah prismatic cells and a 200amp BMS to keep it safe. When the sun goes down, we're always at 100% battery capacity, even in winter.
This gives us a total of 23.5 kwh of batteries onboard - kept charged by 5,020 watts of solar. For comparison, this is roughly the equivalent of 18, 100ah Battleborn batteries. We removed our rooftop bedroom A/C and replaced it with an EG4 28.5 seer-2, 12k btu mini-split heat pump on the upper rear of our motorhome. It's super quiet and cools as well as our 14.5k btu Furrion A/C we have up front. It only draws about 1/3rd the power and heats efficiently too, reducing our propane usage. We have no need to hook-up to power pedestals or run our generator anymore, as we can now run everything in our coach strictly off the sun, including A/C and heat from our heat pump 24/7 if needed. We love being self-contained, don't you?
We travel around the US a lot, visiting National Parks, and doing the tourist thing, mostly boondocking out west. We spent last winter in the Yuma, AZ area where we finished up our solar install. We're visiting our son in NC now, where boondocking places are pretty rare. However, we found an RV park that is letting us camp in a spacious site without hook-ups for only $100/mo., saving us $500/mo. off their FHU rates. It's nice to have options.
Very nice boondocking setup you have built! Our Class C we took to Alaska is 32 feet and we feel it's a great size compromise to livability and maneuverability. This is our home so we enjoy our ability to change our backyard with the seasons. Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃
Sondra, you may not embrace "le rond-point" like David, but your Math and estimation skills sure clicked in when you needed them to round those turns flawlessly. 👍🏾
Awww.. thank you!!! 🥰
She did good!
Great video, I had been looking forward to seeing the logistics of your travels. Great job on practising the Australian vernacular. Thanks for taking us along on the adventure, safe travels
Glad you enjoyed it, Brendan! We're prepping for the future! 🤣😁😎 Always appreciate your time watching the channel.
Thanks for another entertaining video! ❤
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it, Sally.
Love all your videos. Long ones are great.
Yay! Thank you! Glad you think so.
Love tagging along with you guys!! Thank you for taking us on your adventures!! Can’t wait to see where you park in that campground!😮❤❤❤oh, by the way the drone work is top notch!!❤❤❤
Our pleasure, Marian! Thank you. We're curious, too because it's tight!
Spectacular as usual
Thank you so much 😀
Available parking spots are measured by magnetic sensors in the ground. Entrance,exits and individual parking spots .
Thanks for the info, Tom. I didn't think they would go to that kind of tech for parking spots but it is very helpful.
Oh my, I love y’all and so do the chickens!!!😂. I need to rewatch and write down the cake idea! That’s perfect!!
Hey Kim, I think Peggy in our FB group asked for me to write it out and I did in the comment. 😉
It's tasty, Kim! The chickens were crazy friendly.
I also use gloves some of the hoses out there or just absolutely filthy and I travel day I just don’t feel like being dirty or smelling like diesel fuel❤ be safe in your travels be aware of your hazards don’t ever forget
Agreed, Mark. The pumps can be very dirty and nasty. Thanks for watching.
When you stay at harvest host encourage other viewers that they should support the host. Several we stayed at we seen people not support them
Golly! I feel bad when I fuel up my Corolla, and it costs $12.00!!!!
you dont live here in Commifornia! gas is still $4.60 a gallon
@@lutomson3496 The Glorious People's Republic of New York State is fast catching up to California prices, though!!!
We've gotten used to it but the first time was a shock!
Wow, some beautiful western scenery out there, I'm anxious to see more. I'm glad you scored some cheap ice cream cones and some great photos/video. See you next Thursday!
Thanks, Carol. Beautiful out west... it gets better! Ice cream was awesome. See you next Thursday. 😁
This was so enjoyable! Great to see the different places you stay. Impressed by the microwave cake, and the chicken salad. Safe travels.
Glad you enjoyed it! We eat good, simple but tasty!
Great video Guys! Oregon Trail RV Park was the first park we stayed in when we purchased our first RV a few years back. It was tricky getting in there but they did have a a few upfront pull through spaces.
That is awesome! And such a small world too! Good location but it's snug.
Oh what a great video! I love the kinda “behind the scenes” cooking videos and need more of them! I agree with another person who commented that we need a Q&A session. We send in questions for y’all to look over (at your leisure…lol) and y’all answer them. I think people would love that! As always, this was another great video! Safe travels!! 😎
Thank you, Sandra. When we get to 50K subscribers then we plan to do a video to answer some of those questions. We don't want to give it all away...need some intrigue, eh?!? Lol 😆 😆 Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃
I have travelled heaps, camping in remote areas, 4x4 ing, caravanning but have only have seen 1 large, long RV like yours. This was in the outback where a station aka ranch, was and the owner had imported it from the USA. As there are not many service stations out there so fuel is very precious and unless you have a fuel tanker with you it’s hard to justify such a long unit. But enjoy and be safe. Oh I live in Australia.
Thanks, Judy. We want to get down under one day. That's interesting about the rig in the outback. We could never bring ours down there but would use a caravan and truck instead. Appreciate your time watching the channel.
Wow.. I do not want those little tight spaces. And I'm in a 23' MH! Luv your videos :)
Glad you like them! Thanks. Tight spots are no fun!
You ask how they know how many parking spots are available, it’s called “detect a loops” same thing that controls red lights you drive over one when you pull in and you drive over one when you leave, they can tell how many cars and trucks are there. As well as all the data like peak traffic times and length of stay.
Thanks, Mitchell. Makes sense.
Another great video love you guys stay safe Blessings ❤
Thank you! You too!
I enjoyed seeing some more images from inside the truck. especially when you are preparing the meal. greetings
Glad you enjoyed it and we wanted to show some different aspects of our travels. Appreciate your comments. Thanks
Thank you122 next weekend it wonderful travel 😉 David and Sondoa 😅I wait patient ❤😊
Thank you Catherine. Always love having you along on the journey. 😊
Another great video, I'm getting anxious to hit the road. Hey be careful around those Prarie Dogs, they carry Bubonic Plague.
Thanks for the tip! Hope you get in the road soon, Phil.
As an American living in the UK(14 years now), I remember my first double roundabout. It definitely was a bit nerve racking. Thanks again for sharing your great videos.
Thanks for sharing! I don't know why but I like roundabouts.
Always look forward to Thursdays with you two awesome people. Great content and photography and the jokes!😂
Thanks so much! We're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
As I was based out of Denver w Navajo, I'm surprised you guys didn't stop at the Johnstown truck stop to top off and get their famous big darn cinnamon rolls..a new flavor every month their to die for..also voted as one of the top ten best truck stop restaurants in the nation..very good food..worth stopping at..and they got a way cool gift shop...
Ok, thank you. We'll have to check it out. 😀
Hello from Wichita Kansas. It was cool knowing the roads you were on. Missed giving you a honk and wave. Also Goodland is our home town. It is always windy out there.
Thanks, Joy. We were surprised that the golf course had been established for 100 years... and people were playing in 40 mph winds! Wow.
@@bigtruckbigtravelswe are so used to the wind lol
❤thank you 122 next weekend 123 David I wait watching bigtavel and big truck 🚛 Idaho lake it pretty finish then other States
Great videos, thanks!

Thank you so much 🤗 Hope your summer is safe.
You guys rock 👍🏻
Thank you... even with the corny jokes?!?
The roundabout you mentioned is on 400. For big rigs it is a tight turn. Good job. 👍
Thanks 👍Lol 😆 not quite made for the long rigs. Appreciate your comments and your time watching the channel. 😃
Great drone flying!
Dennis
Thanks 👍I always try to NOT crash!
Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
Thanks for watching
Love the camping on the farm.
You call it Stealth Camping while in Canada 🇨🇦 we call it BoonDocking.
Having a RV I have never done it myself.
Enjoying your trip and the sense of humor.
Stay safe.
That was fun and very quiet. Great people. We were "making fun" of a sector of RV travels that call it "stealth camping" because they are trying to camp for free. Usually in an urban setting. Thanks
I love the drone shots!
thanks. It adds a little something special on perspective!
😊 enjoyed this
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you. 😊
Great video! Safe Travels!
Thanks! You too!
Love the farm & the friendly chickens! lol That ice cream looked as good as Dairy Queen and a better buy! We also have a Little America in Flagstaff AZ.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Frank. That's neat there's one in AZ!
That was so wild seeing you guys are in Newton! Welcome! 😊
Thanks. Such a small world.
The Holdings of Little America own Sun Valley Corporation in Idaho. Great family.
Thank you. It was a fun and interesting visit.
Hi from 🇨🇦 Great video.I love your sense of humour
Hi, Judy, thank you so much. Sometimes it's super corny but we enjoy our life. Excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
We watch your content in preparation of our planned HDT life. Almost there!
Congratulations, Joy. That's exciting. It will be here before you know it! Thanks for watching.
I enjoyed every minute the best❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone.
Happy travels ❤❤❤❤
Thanks, Lisa ann. Love having you along each week.
I love you jungle you doing a great job
Thanks, Mike. We appreciate that.
Sondra, left is drivers side. If your not in a vehicle then look at the back of your hands and put your thumbs out. The hand with thumb out that makes an L is your left. But it has to be back of hand.
Thanks for the tip. When I went to get my drivers license at 15 or 16 years old I failed the first time.. then I wrote R and L on the back of my hands and I passed. When we went to get our Class A endorsement for the rig, I did something similar (but not as obvious). 🤫😁😅
Hey, that is a great tip for left/right! 😊 Thanks
Good job on the meal planning.
She loves to meal plan. Thank you
I've been to little America more times than I can count..cool stuff, there a restaurant there, yumz, lotsa room..really a fave truck stop..nice showers too
It's so nice. We had passed by before but never stopped. Now, it will be a regular.
Some of the van class b have showers, solar panels and air-conditioning in a smaller scale. The vans have gotten bigger and the tech a lot better. Hope to join the van lifers soon. Keep turning those wheels and showing us how it's done!🎉❤
Thanks. We liked the Travato when we did a tour through one. Our Class C is very nimble.
The .75 Cone is the same it was when I was there 20 years ago!
I keep forgetting about the stash of cups you use, so I think you keep stopping for refills. 😅 Nice stays..🎉
🍔🍟🥤
Oh yeah. A big stash too!
Love your video
Thank you, Flo. We appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃
AMEN on the gloves!! Used to drive me nuts when someone
jumped up on my running board with their diesel gloves on
just to tell me something that was not importent! And I end up smelling diesel the rest of the day.
Thank you, Stephan! For understanding...
Having lived the RV life for quite some time now, I can't stress enough about the difference a great grill can make. I had been using Qstoves+ for the longest time but recently made the switch to Asmoke and boy, what a game-changer! The versatility of Asmoke is what attracted me initially - grilling, smoking, roasting, baking - it's all just a dial away. The flavor enhancement from the different types of wood pellets is simply outstanding, bringing in a whole new dimension to our meals. The precise temperature control is another big plus, ensuring my meals are cooked just the way I like them. Asmoke's portability and battery life are perfect for life on the road - I've had up to 10 hours of runtime on a single charge. Plus, it's environmentally friendly. All in all, I couldn't be happier with my decision. #Asmoke
Sounds good. We'll check it out.

She did great. Hot flashes and all!
Thank you 😊
Cell phone data is real time and is how some of the apps including Google maps have access to GPS and exact location of traffic. If you think about how Google maps knows how busy it is at Walmart or any location is by counting the amount of cell phones in that location/restaurant etc.
Interesting. That's cool 😎. Thanks
