To everyone upset about Matt saying it was a 74,000lbs RV... As I understand it from people who teach recovery operations, when a vehicle like this is buried to the floor pan, you calculate the pulling force load on your recovery equipment as 3x the weight of the vehicle. This is to ensure all your equipment is capable of withstanding the weight + friction of pulling a non-rolling mass sideways with a large margin for safety. I'm not a recovery expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Since the RV is obviously nowhere near 74k, it would have been nice if Matt would have explained the number, like 74k includes appropriate safety margin calculations, or something like that. Lots of comments on that figure, some people think it actually weighs that much, some think it's even heavier than that. Incredible.
Lol nobody is upset. But he said " that is 74.000 pounds of RV stuck in there". This is not calculated resistance pull weight. Btw you have charts for off road pulls depending how stuck vehicle is. You do not just go 3x up no mather what lol.
6:30 there was a time when Matt would use the banana to aggressively rubber band, the vehicle out of the hole, but these days Matt has been blessed with a winch.
@@anotherdave5107 Matt's saying is "if you can get YOURSELF out with traction boards you were never really stuck" the RV did not get itself out, it still needed lots of help.
I remember a pretty similar recovery like 3-4 years ago, same kind of big RV stuck in mud, and he pulled it out with kinetic pulls with the Banana. Took forever! Granted they didn't have the wrecker back then, it's a hell of a good winching platform.
Don't forget he also used Radio's!!! In Matts "defense" he has never said traction boards have no use ever. What he says is "if you can get YOURSELF out with traction boards you were never really stuck", and the RV did not get out under its own power using traction boards
He could have gotten this out (violently) with just recovery ropes. And the traction boards were not used for traction, they were used instead of piling in a bunch of rocks. Anything that spreads the load would have worked just as well as traction boards. He's not making progress, he's just endowed with more tools for the jobs and that's only because he has a bigger crew and more vehicles at his disposal. In the past, he was mostly working solo and occasionally with another person using just the Banana. He would have gotten this RV out in the olden ways if that's all he had. It would have been less expensive and it would have been more work for Matt. But he'd still get the job done.
Let me tell you a little something about beards turning red from personal experience. Mine went from its natural brown color to red....then eventually full white. The red part is the natural brown losing pigment until the final white phase. I predict Matts going to be Santa Clause at the company Christmas party in a few years 😂😂
I love how Matt says he is worried about this one with all the gear he has now and a couple years ago he was pulling out class A RVs with the Banana and a snatch strap. Awesome job you all.
Matt using taction boards means this is a serious job. A lot of winches were used on that heavy weight. Easy job for the B-Team tipping the SxS back over.
Just had this idea, y'all should get one of those mini cameras that attach to a dog's collar and put it on peanut for when you bring her, just for a fun be camera angle/view.
@@davidr.4699 Keyword is "tried", do you give up after you've tried something once? If yes, how are you breathing? Because I am sure the first thing you tried as you were born was taking a breath and it most likely failed at first.
Why didn't he/you use the hydraulic jacks? I have one of these and put a board/pad under the jacks, which will lift the entire motorhome. Wheels off the ground then fill (pad) under the wheel and repeat. Gets the frame off dirt, wheels higher.
Because he has tow vehicles and winches?????!!! I dunno, that may have something to do with the method he employs. Go start ya own company, "Jack's Jacks" or something. I promise I'll comment.
Most of the time theyre just for leveling the RV, raising the RV on unleveled ground can easily damage them, especially if there is any added suction from the mud
Good thing Jamie showed up to a rescue in her flip flops lol. My wife does the same when we go camping up at Rausch creek ATV club in Pa., always stubbing her toes😂😂😂😂😂
Can't understand people they get upset, with anything that Mat does. I think it's fantastic that y'all share your lives and your adventures with us . And y'all finally found a use for traction boards😂 I sure hope you guys have a great week❤
Max Trax work a whole heap better if the they not upside down. I know it wasn't for actual traction, as the winches were doing the work, but they flex less and the sloped ramp part helps the wheels get up onto them. Those things have helped 1000s of Aussies self recover from VERY stuck situations.
Matt... If you fire up the rig and disconnect the leveling arm to the air bags, you can gain two to three inches of body clearance when you over inflate the air bags., Doesnt do any good to get the frame off the ground but sure helps the digging clearance and body damage when you pull it out.
Interesting you are using traction boards. Just as they are intended. I seem to remember you saying (if you used a traction board to get out you weren't stuck at all.)
It is terrifying to know that there are people that probably don’t have the experience to be driving a 74,000lb vehicle down the road. After doing a little research there is no way it was 74,000, more like 30,000 at most.
I was quite surprised when I purchased a used MCI coach (40 ft long, 8 ft. wide, and roughly 28,000 lbs) and drove it home, being told I needed no special license whatsoever. Let's be honest for a moment: It was absolutely terrifying driving it around town. The stress of worrying about vehicles/curbs/signs/pedestrians was exhausting. A level of hyper-awareness is required, and based on my knowledge of people, well, 'nuff said.
@@backwoodstherapy No 2 axle motorhome has 50k weight. 3 axle is possible. Max weight in most states for large Semi truck and trailer is 80k ( and they have minimum 5 axles combined).
It doesn't get any better than this video with Jaymie wearing her rescue flip flops to pulling out this huge RV out with the big wrecker then the Moorvair flipping the sxs back on its wheels.
I cant even begin to count all the times we helped people that buried their RVs to the frame at the dunes. Literally every trip to the dunes we would help 3 or 4 RVs get unstuck. If the drivers knew to keep moving and keep their momentum they wouldn't get stuck. But in their defense people would stop in front of them or they would have to slow down or stop for others.
Cripes! That guy is a wild man with his motorhome..... Mine's ballpark same size, I'm scared to leave pavement very much with it. So low slung, 24K lbs...... I'm a wimp.
Curious question: Why do most off-road channels use something to press down on the winch cable to prevent it from flying around if it snaps, while Matt stands there lifting actual heavy seemingly not scared of something going wrong?
@@angelolamantia Yeah. 74.000 lbs is weight of 75 ton rotator on 4 heavy duty axles. 😁 I think he just said that to make more comments. He knows this is not close to that weight.
30,000# RV gave two and a half times it's weight in resistance to be unstuck...74,000# resistance until it was on solid ground and rolling freely, then resistance went to 30,000#. Used 30,000# as an example, not knowing actual weight

True but the Banana as we know it is still out of commission. Hopefully Matt can get the Banana back on the road!
I 'member when Matt scoffed at the idea of using a winch.
and Im sittin here yelling, "DONT RUN OVER THE ROPE" lol
If you can get it out with traction boards you were never really stuck.
@@anotherdave5107 Matt's saying is "if you can get YOURSELF out with traction boards you were never really stuck" the RV did not get itself out, it still needed lots of help.
I agree
LOL at Matt going from no winching to mostly winching, and now from disliking traction boards to using them. He's making good progress!

That would have been so much more work, and it looks like his method worked perfectly right?
Most of the time theyre just for leveling the RV, raising the RV on unleveled ground can easily damage them, especially if there is any added suction from the mud
When those jacks sink in the dirt they don't come back up and now you have to drag them through the dirt as an anchor... ask me how I know!
Good thing Jamie showed up to a rescue in her flip flops lol. My wife does the same when we go camping up at Rausch creek ATV club in Pa., always stubbing her toes😂😂😂😂😂
Matts response right in the beginning was his inner Wrecker Rick showing 😂😂
You guys made short work of that RV. Another job well done 👏
Great to see Mamma Bear Getting down and dirty with the crew! God Bless you guys & gals!🙏
Bringing all the horses is better than having to go back and get more horses 🤠
Better to have & not need than need & not have
I am always amazed by perfectly reasonable people that will take their vehicles into unreasonable places.
Even ones that cost more than my house
Back in the early days you would have pulled that out with the Banana and a Yankum.
Flat out amazes me what people try to drive on the beach at sand hollow..... I couldn't help myself from asking what the hell they were thinking?.
Great job.
Teamwork in your group is awesome.
Can't understand people they get upset, with anything that Mat does.

Yeah you can drive a 40+ foot motorhome off the lot that has a GVWR of 50k+ lbs with just a standard drivers license and no training.

Nice work!
Best summary of the day: "Jake's pretty hyped up about this one. He's over there dancing with grass...." 5:00

Matt is like a southern gentleman with his insults. He's so kind when calling people stupid! 🤣🤣
might need to start charging your opinion on traction boards. Last couple recoveries, ya'll have used them. haha. Love it. great job.
If he's using them, I'd say his opinion has changed
Nothing better than starting your day with fresh hot coffee and a new MORR video.
Agreed,that is the way to start the morning
Definitely, I just wish it were longer 16 minutes isn’t enough

it says 90k pounds on the official website

I think this is more then the wrecker could have handled. Good thing there's a all star team behind it.
Thanks for saving us from that ugly RZR driver! That's why I assume they don't want to be on camera.
I love the way Matt calls people stupid without actually calling them stupid
My guy Jake you are the absolute best never fail to put a smile on my face! You do so much more than you could ever know.
You've heard the song "ocean front property in Arizona". Now would be a good time for Beached Whale in Utah.
lol. “Bravest”. Matt’s the King of euphemisms
so not really suck, since traction boards were used
I have faith in you and your team, Matt.
Why I truly believe class A motorhomes should require a special license and training prior to driving them.
Just curious why you don't do anything with Fan Rats anymore. Thanks for the great recoverys!
Great job people!!
Good job landing that whale!
Dynasty Monaco is 29,000 GVWR

Great video good job team
Need more samorri content! But still loving the vida
Good job!
No where close to 74,000 lbs those rigs top out at 30,000
a tank bridge - is the ideal deployable unit for these sort of recoveries - would truly get it out in no time...
Happy to see that Jaimee (spelling?) is sticking to tradition with her recovery flip flops.
What was awesome is Jamie pulling winch rope in flip flops 🩴 😂😂😂. Keep it up gang
Caitlyn - wow, that was a big load.... 😮😅
Man, I am always amazed at where people think extra large RVs will fit and work.
Caitlyn / Jaymie Rebelle Rally 2025. Matt and the boys crew would make a good series.
Matt! You pulled Eagle 5 out of the muck!
6:28 - Is this really the best place to stand for this pull?
Whatever happened to the good ol days with a rope and a Morvare? Didn't you once say the Morvare could pull an RV out with the Yankem rope?
I use to always admire how Matt would never make to stuck person feel like an idiot......
12:36 some red bull for a yellow goat
Camping by that lake must be really boring as all those rubberneckers have nothing better to do than stand around watching.
Buried to the frame is no problem! Now if it was to the windows that would be a problem! Goooooood morning everybody!

Ever wonder how people get the money to buy expensive toys that they aren't bright enough to drive ?
There's something about having a good tongue for derriere maintenance and seasoned helmet polishing in there i am sure.
Because we do not live in a meritocracy
Side pull winches or scotch blocks. They can make recovery so much easier, why don't everyone use them?
Matt using traction boards?????
What next??? Diesel engines in all the recovery vehicles?????
New project for you: Build a compact custom "Razor" type recovery vehicle. Tilt back, 4wheel steer and winches
That’s Americans right there 🇺🇸🦅
Great videos,comment for the channel.
That poor old Monaco. May have been its last trip.
Maybe give the peanut gallery watching the RV tow out some shovels and have them fill in the pits left by the tires.
This was better than any episode of dangerous housewives!
Jaymie going out on a recovery dressed like she's ready for a date is pure fire!
The old guy with the beard is the first person I ever saw that put the shirt on right after he got it. 👍
Wrecker Rick calls those RV’s “Diesel Pushers” which think is a better word than “RV” to describe those machines
Matt said previously: If you can get out using traction boards, you weren't really stuck.......... 😂
