  • Although it snowed in the Mojave Desert, we didn't need the shovel to leave the campground THIS time so off we went to Tucson. A Harvest Host stop was planned but....this gets sketchy. What to do?
    California Highway 95 was a mess and we need a wash. Voyager and Orion are disgusting so it's bath time! We check in to Voyager RV Resort but there are always costs. Be aware of these hidden costs to make your RV travels more enjoyable.
    We came out West to enjoy a nice warm winter season and to experience some Rare Events. Although the winter weather has been up and down with temps in the 70's to down in the 40's we have enjoyed every minute of our RV Lifestyle. Our Western part of the trip is nearly finished but we have seen and enjoyed some epic adventures.
    We are not Snow Birds but we do like nice warm weather and heading west was the answer this winter.
    Come join our Facebook Group, Big Truck Big Travels to get more details on our travels such as Alaska itinerary, annual costs and such.

    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.
    Our journey is the destination. We want to share in our experiences in 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"

    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

    First time commenting on your trips, I’m a 84 year old former small unit camper with kids, 60 years ago! Home in Florida for 25 years and now a widow! My husband and I took 3 trips around old USA starting in Florida heading to I 10 west to CA to N to Washington then east towards Maine and down back to FL! Always staying in hotels or motels usually a month long trip always non interstate roads! Many memories, I love watching you drive that very big rig!

    Another great video, with a beautiful, fascinating landscape . We always get a chuckle on how you and Sandra get straight to the point with sharp, witted puns. My husband and I started watching the channel during your Alaska travel adventures of 2023. We live in West Central Alberta, Canada.
    We look forward to future videos.

    Boxed milk from Dollar Tree - lasts a long time on the shelf. No more worrying about milk expiring or running out. Good as a back-up, too.

      I keep powdered milk because we do not use it on a regular basis. I have it on hand for recipes.

    • @MaryWehmeier
      @MaryWehmeier 2 місяці тому +2

      Parmalat or Ultra High Temperature (UHT) milk. It is heated at higher temperatures than regular pasteurized milk. This way Parmalat milk stays fresh longer and doesn't need to be refrigerated until opened. Dollar Tree has pints of they carry, it works well in the RV. I use it for soups, sauces and coffee.

      That's funny because that is where we bought it for Alaska. Saved our bacon a few times in the wilderness when we were days from a store...or civilization! We may have to keep some on hand in the lower 48. Thanks

    I worked at Voyager RV Resort for 19 years. Don, your escort in the cowboy hat, is a good friend of mine. Was nice to see your shots of Voyager and also the Sonoran Desert Museum. We like to take our guests/visitors there, but not in the summer. Way too hot. Have been following you two for a couple of years now and enjoy your content. Live in Vail, Az now and am fully retired. We full-timed for 9 years in a 5th wheel, although not as big as yours. We did tour the SpaceCraft factory years ago. Loved it. Safe travels...

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  2 місяці тому

      Thanks. We really enjoy Voyager, just wish we had a roomier site but they did fit us in the park so it was great. Voyager was great during covid, offering us a monthly deal for April to give us a place to stay. Don's a nice guy and knew we'd fit since he used to drive truck. Museum is wonderful but definitely not in the summer! Aloha

      @Elizabeth-rq1vi 2 місяці тому +1

      I did part of that museum in July. It definitely was hot! Got a wee bit dehydrated too, but found a pop machine so was good. This Canadian was soaking up some vitamin D! Loved the area, I was the one of the few walking around outside. I also had my driver’s window open with the AC blowing.

      100% agree... "Camping" today in RV RESORTS ( NOTHING more than HUGE organized Parking Lots ) NUTZ to BUTTZ. NO Trees, and very little Grass. That's NOT CAMPING. I worked for 7 years in an actual San Diego County Parks CAMPGROUND while the wife worked in a local KOA "Campground". I KNOW "CAMPING" !!!

I'd like to say if you're ever in the Kansas City, MO area, I'd be honored to treat y'all to some Whataburger. I'm a pretty big Whataburger fan myself. Keep up the good work. God bless and safe travels

    Loved the wildlife photos and videos. The museum was a great place that I will need to put on my list. The only thing better than Sondra’s photos and David’s videos of flora and fauna would be if I were there with you and taking photos of my own. As always I enjoyed your vlog. How could anyone not love the two of you. You are so genuine and down to earth. Love Sondra’s eye rolls. BTW - I don’t do scrapbook stores but have found a quilt shop or two! See you next week.

    Tucson in early spring is the place to be… traveled to Green Valley south of Tucson for Caterpillar business every year for quite a while. Get a chance stop at TUPAC, a little town before the border. But watch for signs for CATERPILLAR TINAJA HILLS PROVING GROUNDS…. Some beautiful views at that place too! Also look for the “manufactured mountains” which are actually “tailings piles” (soil that is filtered for mining copper}.

    I'm not a big fan of deserts but that Sonora Desert is beautiful. Sondra your photos are a delight and I believe that bird making a home in the tall cactus is from the swallow family. Swallows have always been my favorite bird, having grown up with barn swallows swooping about in the early evenings catching flying insects rising up from the hay fields. They are such masterful flyers! As usual I look forward to next week's video!
