    ℹ️About the episode:
    Never a dull moment! We managed to get our Ford F450 and Grand Design Momentum 399 stuck in the wet grass just outside of Sandusky Ohio. The rain this season has been relentless and our timing of checking into a grass site (on low ground) while having two days of non-stop rain was not great. We tried everything we could to get unstuck before giving up and paying the wrecker to pull us out. There is a silver lining... we've avoided several grass sites this season with our new found experience of checking the weather and looking for other options when picking sites. I believe the quote is, "nothing beats experience".
    We also enjoyed Cedar Point theme park and staying on-site, despite the rates. We've been told to visit Cedar Point in Sandusky about 1,000 times so we were sure not to miss it!

It's not necessarily the size, but the weight and height that caused me angst. HOWEVER: To each their own. I LOVE your videos and have been a follower since day 1! Keep it up!

    Next time you get emergency cash, get 2 extra $100 bills fold them twice and put one behind your driver's license & have Trish put the other one behind her driver's license. Don't use it except in extreme emergency situation (like repairs/tows). Don't let kids talk you out of it. Don't spend it frivously thinking you will replace it because you won't. Hubby and I have used this method many years (we're much older than you guys) & still have our emergency stash which has come in handy a few times since we RV as well. Keep your normal emergency cash where kids see it. NEVER let them know about your real stash! Lol Sorry you got stuck. Kudos for keeping calm! Love your channel. We always look forward to your shared Sunday evening adventure. Stay safe!

    Just information in case you want to get better tires before winter and if you go on the beach. Toyo has m920 in 225/70 19.5 that are G rated 14 ply. They are a lot better than the highway tires. Another upgrade you may want to add would be a winch and keep block tackle a good pulley in your tool crate. The Continental tires you have should last a long time on the highway, G rated tires are normally hard tires and last for a while. Good luck hope you do not get in slippy mud again soon.

    You are so lucky you got to video your rides. A few years back we were there and it was my sons first time on a roller coaster. Somehow they seen I was taking pics of my son as we were going up the first hill and literally stopped the ride. We all thought there was a problem with the ride until the employee climbing up the hill reached our cart and asked for my phone. We would have had to leave the park unless I locked it and surrendered it to them only to get it back when the ride was over. When we got off the ride we were greeted by 2 security guards and a park representative requesting that I delete all video and pics from the ride or be escorted out of the park.

    I worked at Cedar Point the summer of '94.
    The reason there weren't so many smiles when I worked there was,
    I worked over 70hrs a week (6 days from Dawn to after closing, 1 day off a week),
    minimum wage ($4.25), no overtime pay (seasonal).

We just bought our travel trailer last year and thought it would be nice to take it there instead of the cabins but for that price a night we might be better to rent again. Lol.

    @Hanr3 5 років тому

    TRACTION - Great video as usual. I haven't read all the comments, maybe someone has covered this already, if not I'll share my experiences on heavy rigs and soft ground. #1 is tires- Tires make a huge difference. No doubt you have All Season Highway tires. You need All-Terrain tires. No need for mud tires on your rig, but All terrain tires will make a huge difference compared to highway tires. All my old highway tires did was dig a hole. Switched to all-terrains and never looked back. #2 boards never work on grass/mud. Tires have no grip on wood, especially if they are wet. The wood has no way of anchoring to the ground and your truck will spit them out, if you get traction. #3 If you must use a traction device don't put it next to the tire. Your truck doesn't have the momentum to climb up the traction device. Best to dig out under the tire and slide the traction device under the tire. In your video your truck couldn't climb up the boards, the tires didn't have traction to move forward or backward, and then you placed a small climb in the path. #4 You will find yourself in a similar situation one day. Learn from this and make corrections, upgrades. #5 Tow upgrades, All-Terrain tires and an electric winch with snatch block and tree straps. I would mount a receiver hitch to the front of the truck. This way the winch can be stored until needed. Plus you could mount it to your rear receiver should the situation arise.

    Regarding Trish’s comment, I tell my employees this every day. I learned long ago, from a small business owner, that the one thing you should give away every day is customer service. A smile, a “where can I put this for you?”, or “How can I help you with your situation?” goes farther than the best prices in town.

  • @SomeTechGuy666
    @SomeTechGuy666 5 років тому +7

    Been there, been stuck, just like you.
    You should be carrying a tow strap, because you never know when you'll need it. You were on pretty flat ground there. You could put a hitch receiver on the front and carry a winch mounted to a hitch shank. Wouldn't have to be terribly strong to get you out of a situation like that, especially if you had a snatch block. The Class A could have pulled you out easily too.

    Hi, just an observation when getting towed/pulled by someone else. Do Not use the tow ball for the tow strap. Use the pin hole on the receiver instead. Tow balls are designed for vertical load not horizontal/lateral loads. The tow balls have been know to breakoff under pressure and fly back and destroy everything in its path.

  • @survivetothrive21
    @survivetothrive21 5 років тому

    Might behoove you to mount a winch to your front bumper so in situations like this, if you use a tree saver strap, hoot to a tree across the lane to pull your tires onto more solid ground. A good 12k winch might run a little pricey even though you can get a cheaper one for 400 bucks, but it might be worth it.

    Were you in 4Lo? Seemed like the tires spun out fairly quickly getting on the throttle. Board are too slick if your tires are already filled with mud. Need those fancy recovery boards or that traction stuff like sand paper on wooden boards. 4Lo is also nice if you're in a sticky situation and having to maneuver in tight places like a forest road and you're trying to turn around on the edge of the Grand Canyon.

    Hi-Lift Jack with the Lift Mate accessory. Look into it. You can lift any tire up off the ground from beside the truck. The Lift Mate has hooks that go between the spokes / holes in your rim. Lift the tire straight up, fill in the hole, drive off. Of course with a triple axle trailer that can also be alot of work. HiLift's w/ the Lift Mate are beloved by jeeper's and off roaders everywhere. Also useful to lift a tire to put on chains super easy.

    we go to CP every year, and the customer svc is anything but! Good to know on the price of the RV spots, thats way less than the cabins/cottages in Lighthouse point. They have some newer RV spots around the lake with Outdoor kitchens and firepits also. The tires on these 450s will not pull a greased string from a pigs' rear end if in wet grass, that is certain!

  • @Rational_Party
    @Rational_Party 5 років тому

    If you have a little air compressor, letting some air out of the tires will help A LOT. With 80-110psi in the tires, they have traction on wet grass akin to a steel roller. At 50psi, they'll deform some, and not just spin in one place. Yes, this will even work for tires with highway tread. Better luck next time! :)

    You own a FORD. FORD will pay to tow your truck when it's stuck, and they will also take care of your RV. As a owner of a F450 that had to be towed several times and FORD covered it everytime. They also brought a second tow truck to handle the RV. That is important info to remember. They cover you for at least as long as your factory warranty or longer. Use what you have all ready paid for.

    That spot made for some great video with the coaster in the background. What time do they finally stop running the rides? As far as employee disposition at or around theme parks, alot of them are college kids just working the summer rush. They were probably awesome in the beginning of June. By September they're just doing whatever they have to do to get through the day and have little time for every single RV owner asking the same exact questions the last thousand people asked.

    Was at Cedar Point last weekend and was annoyed that Steel Vengeance Staff made me lock up my wallet. Guess I am glad they did. Also, they are adding a lot of improved sites with nicer charcol grills and patio sets. A big bonus to the Cedar Point Campground the location and being able to walk out and eat in the RV and be back in quickly. It does give you a good reduction in overall cost and is a lot less greasy food in your stomach!

    Next time, take a couple 4x4 boards and Strap them through the rear holes on the wheels. Make sure they are about 2-3in longer then the wheel diameter or come close but dont hit the fenders. She will crawl right out. Can also mount an aftermarket bumper and winch rated at 16,000lbs with a pully system doubling the power. to 32,000lbs. Not hard to do. Also, old farm tip with the wood.

    hey guys, love the channel watch it a bunch, we have a similar set up with truck and trailer. We love to camp on the beach as well as off the beaten path, and often get stuck in sand and mud. Just for future reference, especially since you have onboard air, is to air down the truck tires first and if it doesn't pull out air down the trailer too. It has gotten us out every time, I have yet to be towed, it seems to be 12lbs is my magic number. I usually go down in stages though, that way its less air time back up if I start to get traction at say 45lbs or whatever.

    • @KeepYourDaydream
      @KeepYourDaydream  4 роки тому

      I'm familiar with airing down, but 110 PSI tires with highway tread, I didn't think to get down to 4-50 would really make a difference and the time it would take air down and back up didn't seem worth the effort when a wreaker was already on the way for the Class A.

Given your audience, I wouldn't be surprised if they sent you a set or two for free. They work great for leveling as well ( but I think you already have that issue covered. ) Apologies if you already are familiar with their product, but I wish more RV'ers knew about it! Also, be VERY careful with the any traction mats besides Maxtrax.... most are junk.

      Exactly. You can always tell when someone shows up in a truck whether or not they are truck people based on their tires. People on stock tires are just asking for this. You live and you learn. I’ve seen a F450 on 35’’ toyo rt’s pulling a loaded seed tender roll through some pretty greasy stuff. Also...there is a pretty famous UA-cam video of a newer black Ford dually pulling a Tundra out of a median.

Popped them, but to be fair they were what i got on the truck. Since then, ive run only 9+ ply tires all terrains with aggressive tread. No issues since then. My new 2018 3500 i havnt had the time to switch out the tires yet. Had the truck a year and its only been on gravel so no big deal. I do know my limits.
