I know, Barbara. We felt the same way as we were leaving. It's great to know we'll be back though but sad (and exciting) to leave. LOL...lots of emotions going on! Thanks for the comment and watching the channel. Glad you're along on the journey. 😎😁
Hey Dan, there's a few of us out there. That may have been a friend of ours that we had lunch with the other day while we were at SpaceCraft. Thanks for the comment. 😎
You're very welcome. We're excited to start the trip up north. We have some very cool activities and routes planned. Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😎
@@bigtruckbigtravels Thanks! I hope you have a WONDERFUL time on your adventure to Alaska! Orion will be all spiffy and waiting for you when you come back. Great "boarding" situation you ended up with! Hugs!
Hi J&A- We always try to stay safe...and so far, we have been successful! Yay! This summer will be fun for sure. We've already made a few changes to our plans which will be amazing if the weather and timing works out! Safe travels to you guys. Really appreciate your comments and watching the channel. 😊
Pathfinder will be lonely this summer, Simon. Our daughter will take her out for a spin occasionally so she won't get "lazy". LOL. 🤣😂Appreciate your comment. Glad you're along with us on the journey. 😊
Ya Orion needs to relax and take it easy hard working camper is on vacation does space craft do a video on the work to keep you up to date take care happy camping
OK, Dave, Voyager has 500 hp with a 12 speed iShift transmission. Our gear ratio on the drive is 2.64. Our transmission has 12th gear as overdrive and 11th is the direct drive. At 65 mph we're running about 1150 rpm's. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
That is awesome that you can leave Orion at Spacecraft for that long a period - and will be great to get some work done so your all set for October! We have spent nights at a casino as well - but unfortunately it probably cost me more than if I had booked an RV Resort 🤣🤣 Safe travels!
It's very nice that they have the room to allow us to do that but they are also excited to have more time with Orion to work on a few items. LOL...understood about the casino costing more...we stayed at a Harvest Host that cost us way more than a campground...but our family got some good Christmas gifts! 🤔😁Thanks for the comment and watching the channel. 😊
I am commenting this at the beginning of the video lol. Omg your not stopping your videos are you, I am 36 from the UK. I love watching you this has become a new dream of mine because of you two. I love how your both funny and down to earth amazing content I even watch the project ones like the one where you made that mini water filter thing in the black box then you did a red one that was quieter lol well done on that it was cool. I also loved that you never gave up in getting into Mexico lol I love your home and all that you have done to it. To be honest with you it would be a very sad day if your videos ended I do love how you have named your vehicles me and Sondra have very similar interests it feels like the both of you are very similar to us hahaha its awesome. keep up the amazing work best channel love the comedy stay safe and blessed.
Thank you, Crissy. We really appreciate the comments. We're still rolling...just in a smaller rig for the summer. But the video's will still happen. Alaska should be amazing. Glad you're along with us on the journey. It will be fun. 😍😊
I’m glad I’m not the only UK viewer! Myself and my partner are planning to do this one day, luckily my partner is American so the big USA road trip isn’t too far a distant dream for me 💕
Oh man, Glenn. If she can keep it under 500 pics a day...then I'll consider it a win! 😎🤔😂🤣It will be a fun trip and I've already modified the plans to include (hopefully) a really cool route. 😊
Texas is a cool state, James. We have camped inside Palo Duro several times but never to Caprock Canyons so that was a must see for us on our last visit to the Amarillo area. Appreciate your comment and watching the channel. 😎
A few things that SpaceCraft will address is our slide operation since we've had it break on us three times, our squeaky front door and a few cracked tiles to replace. We really enjoyed our first 5th wheel (DRV Houston) but we discovered over 3 years that we wanted to boondock more and thus add more water capacity and solar/batteries which the frame on the DRV would not be able to handle. Thus we went with SpaceCraft for the more robust construction. Appreciate you watching the channel. 😎😊
@brianb-p6586 yep, Brian. We were told it wouldn't be an issue but the trailer is a rolling earthquake, even with air suspension. There aren't many but a few to repair. It is nice to have heated floors though.
@@bigtruckbigtravels in-floor radiant heating can also be used with other flooring materials, particularly laminated wood and even vinyl (as long as surface temperature is limited to a suitable level).
Thank you soooo much. We really appreciate that comment. It's our life on the road. No stick and brick just us and our RV hitting the road each week. Glad you're along with us on the journey. 😊
TOW is very scenic for sure, Edward. We really enjoy the BLM campground not far out of Chicken. Probably the cleanest, freshest smelling pit toilets we have ever experienced! 🤣😂 We have some neat activities planned and really cool routes with our Class C. Appreciate you watching the channel.😊
Well, I hope to meet the two of you while you’re in AK, we still have quite a bit of snow Still on the ground, hopefully it will be gone by the time you get here. We leave out on June 9th, if you are still here you can sure park at my place. Have a safe trip. Let me know how the roads are from destruction bay to Tok AK, that is usually where the frost heaving is the worst.
It would be close for sure, Jim. We know we'll clear it, but man, it still gives us pause as we pass underneath. There are a few of those low clearances around Houston on I-10 as well that have a bit of a pucker factor. Appreciate your comment. 😊
Sondra we don't call it rain here in Oregon it's called liquid sunshine 😭🤣😂. This weekend will be sunny for two days then right back to the same stuff rain😠😤 Been working on the back yard trying to get it ready for the sale. Still working on the kitchen inside. But making progress. Safe travels and roads Brian and Cindy, just got our new logo done for the business will PM you folks on Facebook.
Hey Brian, we called it the same in Hawaii... but that's because it was raining and sunny at the same time! 😅😂 Appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching the channel. 😁
We took it in 2017 and had a great trip. This year we wanted to explore a little deeper such as camping inside Denali NP and taking some routes we don't feel comfortable with in a bigger setup. Our Class C has 4wd so a little more comfort factor on some of the roads. We'll also be scouting out places and routes for a third trip with our big rig to Alaska. Thanks for the comment. 😊😎
@@bigtruckbigtravels I live in Alberta Canada and worked in NWT, Yukon and Alaska. Though it's been a few years since I've retired and lived in Grande Prairie AB, so I'm familiar with that neck of the woods especially the winter season. 😱🥶 That Jeep makes a lot more sense than a smart car. Bon voyage!
I thought I saw ORION on the piggyback train , begging not to be left behind for ALASKA . Let's see if it turns around and goes back to SPACECRAFT for repairs that's needed.
Great question, Marsha. We both drive the RV. In Alaska, I do all the driving because Sondra has her finger on the trigger...the camera trigger! But she has no problems driving either one and frequently does so.
You are sad to leave your home but just think that your getting closer to Alaska. You will have fun figuring out Curiosity. Right? Orion is in good hands and Voyager too. Where is your little car can't remember it's name. I am presently in a lot of pain . JUSTgot home from my mammograpy legs are contacting and cramping. In my case if l had to leave my home l think l would be in shock. Home is important l finally have my place well fited with a special bench that fits in the bathtub stell bars on the walls for security. I love my place nothing grand but fixed out for me l thank God every day . I do understand that you are sad but hey you are going on a great voyage. Be safe and be thrilled GodBless Linda wish l were with you guys but l am thru UA-cam.
Our Smart is named Pathfinder, Linda. Hope you begin to feel better. It's fun to figure out the new RV and how we can camp efficiently. This summer will be fun. Glad you're along on the journey. 😊
Hey FlyBy- The plans are in place but we're constantly modifying them. It will be fun this summer. We're taking the Class C (Curiosity) and flat towing the Jeep (Artemis) as our daily driver. Woohoo! Thanks for the comments and excited that you're along with us on the journey. 😎
We have been to Alaska with our big rig setup (different 44 foot trailer) in 2017 and loved it but this trip we want to experience some areas that we couldn't get to with our big rig such as camping inside Denali NP and driving up to Prudhoe Bay on the Dalton (Haul road). We're also using this trip in the smaller Class C to scout out locations and routes for a third Alaska trip in the future where we will take our big rig. Appreciate your comment. 😊😎
Why did you guys slim your videos down to 15 minutes? Don't really care for the shortend format, enjoyed the thirty mins or longer ones better. Have a safe journey to Alaska guys!
Thanks for the comment, Scott. We really don't try to hit a certain length for the video's. The final cut is really just more about what we did for that week (usually covers about a week). Sondra likes the longer format as well so we'll address the length 🤔😁Really appreciate you watching the channel. This summer will be packed with activities as we travel Alaska. 😎
We'll miss our home but will enjoy the summer travels in our "vacation camper". Home will be ready to go in October when we return to the lower 48. Thanks for watching the channel. 😁
Thanks for sharing 😊
You're welcome, Peter. 😃
Understand going under a 13'6" bridge. I'm a truck driver out in the PA and NJ area, and those bridges are everywhere.
It always gets us, Thomas. We know we're safe but...still...it's a little unsettling. Appreciate your comment. 😎
Very good video ❤
Thank you, Raju.
That was sad when you left the trailer there 😢.it was like hey you going to take too 😢😢
I know, Barbara. We felt the same way as we were leaving. It's great to know we'll be back though but sad (and exciting) to leave. LOL...lots of emotions going on! Thanks for the comment and watching the channel. Glad you're along on the journey. 😎😁

Thank you. I really enjoyed these tracks for this video. They really seemed to flow with the scenes. Thanks for the comments. 😎😊
I saw a Spacecraft pulled by a HDT going west in Nebraska today. Have a good summer.

Hate those little pods!! It must be a southern thing. We’re covered in them here in Ga!!
Oh, man...the "pods" are my nemesis out here in the south. Didn't realize GA had them too! I feel for you! 😂
