The harvest host site where really nice . Being able to see the different animals especially the alpacas was a plus . I wouldhavebeen like a kid in a candy store , lol . I loved the second hosts home . 😊
Wow!! That was quite entertaining watch!! Bravo on the driving skills 👏 If I saw you approaching at the harvest hosts… you guy look so intimidating!! 🤣🤣
Thanks for your comment. I hope entertaining in a good way! 😉 After 6 and a half years, 20k miles per year with an average of 40 stops per year David has gotten pretty good. Not that I don't trust him implicitly but I freak at the easiest things. 🤪
Lol... we can be fairly intimidating when we pull in... especially, if you're in front! Lol Thanks for the comments and appreciate your watching the channel.
Hi guys 🙋♀️🙋♂️😸...thanks for the video...that mud hole you got into reminds us of the times when we delivered the wind turbines..top of mountains..mud holes...corn Fields...so much fun 🤣...you guys stay safe...thanks again..J&A
🙋♀️🙋 Hi J&A! Seeing the transport of wind turbines will catch my eye every time. That's so amazing! Just saw the video with you guys. REALLY GOOD!!! 🤩 I generally remember people by their pets or trucks and your truck looks really familiar. I'll have to go back thru my HDT Rally pictures to see where we've seen you. Hopefully we can meet up some time down the road. 😉
Hi, thank you for sharing your travels. We would love to know more about your HDT specs, specifically wheelbase, weight and overall length. Thank you again for the entertaining content. Tom & Char
Thanks for the comments and appreciate your watching the channel. We'll go into some details on a future video but a few details: 500 hp, 264" wb, 24K lbs without the Smart on the truck. Total weight when hooked up is 70K lbs, 73 feet long custom built trailer based on a semi trailer chassis.
@@bigtruckbigtravels Thank you so much for the quick reply and info. You have a beautiful rig. We look forward to following along on your YT travels. Congratulations on your new grand baby. Safe travels. Thanks again.
@@tlo7651 thank you so much. Lots of fun being a grandfather since we can "return" them when we are done! Lol. We plan to do a series on the whole set up, inside and out. Thanks for watching and spending some time with us.
As David mentioned we plan on doing several videos showing all the details about the truck and trailer. We'll do this during our "do nothing" tour. 🤣 Thanks for your comments and for coming along!
Beautiful rig! Great travel video. My wife and I will be going full time at beginning of the new year. I was holding my breath in the muddy part and around some of those tight turns. Our rig is 47' NH with Volvo 780. Total length 76' truck and trailer. I worry constantly about getting into a location that I can only back out of! Hope to see you folks at the HDT rallies next year. Safe travels. Congrats on the grand baby. We have four, the oldest is not even 4 yet. Interesting story, our son and his wife are the parents of all four. Two adopted and two natural.
Wow Benny! 4 children under 4 is a handful. My hats off to them. Congratulations on going fulltime in the new year. It's a blast. Remember to take it slow, you're not on vacation, it's now a lifestyle. We do lots of research prior to going anywhere...there always has to be an exit strategy. Probably no rallies for us next year but there is a possibility of the National in Hutchinson. Thanks for the comments and appreciate your time watching the channel.
@@bigtruckbigtravels We have had one travel trailer and two 5th wheels when the kids were growing up, and Liz and I are looking forward to "taking it slow". We are also members of Harvest Hosts and look forward to checking those out. We will definitely be going to National next year. RVH Kifestyles prep'd our truck for us. Too many irons in the fire this year to be able to make it. Safe Travels.
@@bennyrstafford1678 thanks Benny. Lol. I understand about lots of irons in the fire... the problem gets real interesting when you have lots of irons in lots of fires! Safe travels.
Come along for the ride... there's always room for one more! Thanks for the comments as we always appreciate seeing them. Have a great week. More to come!
Thank you for your comments! We love this life style even though I'm the one who "Plans for the worst and hopes for the best" and I hope you continue to travel along with us!
Thanks for the kind comments. We appreciate your watching the channel. We've been together for 33 years so I guess we've gotten use to one another by now! Lol.
Thanks. We like to give back to the RV community and hope that people find it interesting and informative. Appreciate your comments. Glad you enjoy it.
@@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726 Yes but you do not get to hand your kid off when you are tired. I love my kids and grandkids but I do like the ability to go rest when I am worn down from the rascals. Stay safe and healthy. I like your channel, you show normal life and do not try to hype up things, thank you.
That is sooo cool. Hwy 36 is a nice road and takes you across Missouri to some neat locales. The invention of sliced bread...yes, that's off Hwy 36. Mark Twain, you guessed it. And even Walt Disney. Lol. Something for everyone.
Thanks for the comment. 😊 It's neat when you see a place you've been on social media. Just goes to show how small the world can be. David found this on Harvest Host and the hosts were super nice. We definitely want to come back thru this area as there is so much to see and do!
There is a lot to see along and off the highway. Mark Twain Lake has so much to see all around the area, and so many other between Hannibal and the west side of the state. That is our favorite highway when we are crossing Missouri.
Congratulations on the new grandbaby!! Love the video footage you showed and can you tell how do people become Harvest Hosts and have you ever been nervous staying at one?
The Harvest Host website has a link for anyone interested in hosting. We've always felt safe and all the hosts have been extremely welcoming. So far, always a good experience.
Great minds think alike. I have a TSD card and a Sam's card. Like you, I compare the savings and pick the best price. Last year when we went to Alaska I maxed out the 5% savings on the Sam's card.
Just found your channel and have enjoyed many of your back catalogue, but if I can make one suggestion, could you please invest in at least one (maybe more) windshield mounts for the camera? I get sea sick watching on the road and I’m surely not the only one. Safe travels! 😊
LOL...point taken. We'll change it up a bit plus a new camera which is a little better. Glad you're along with us on the journey. Appreciate your comments and thanks for watching the channel. 😎😁
The first time that overpass freaked us out as well... well, one of us freaked more than the other! Lol. We're always cautious about our route selection. Thanks for the comments.
This first time I was freaking out! Was the 13'6" real? How many times had the road been paved over? What was the radius of the road dip, etc, etc, etc... Thankfully a truck was on the on coming road and fit under the bridge with a few inches to spare! Whew! 😵💫
Hi what kind of 5th wheel is the one with the blue on it that matches the car. I don't see no decals on your trailer. I really like the shape and roominess of it and would love to get one similar. Thanks and Love ya'lls channel. So fun and informative. Thnx.
Hey Brad, thanks for the kind comments. It's a custom 5th wheel on a semi-trailer chassis built by Space Craft Mfg. We designed it and they made it happen! Thanks for watching. 😊
Murray, you don't have to say that twice. We've wanted to get down to Australia & New Zealand for years. One of these days for sure. Could we bring our Class C?
@@bigtruckbigtravels Hi guys I'm not sure if you could bring it.the kiwi friend you mentioned would be a good source of information about that .some of the lovely places to visit here maybe hard to get too but definitely worth looking into
@@bigtruckbigtravels keep enjoying your travels if you get a chance goggle map where I live it's called waiwera north of Auckland I live at the beach on holiday every day 😀
Thank you for your support! I'm an electrical engineer and for some reason anything electrical I touch seems to go crazy. That's why I'm not allowed to ever touch the TV remotes! 🤣🤣🤣
We've known Jim and Kellie for several years. Nice couple. Not many HDT's on the road with RV's fulltiming. We are the only ones with a Space Craft trailer. Thanks for the comment.
Bidets are awesome. We have 2 here at the house. During COVID and the toilet paper crisis it was nice. Normally you never see bidets here in the US. When I was deployed to Germany, most of the rest areas had them. They charged a fee, $1 or 2 but so worth it. Just had knee surgery so binge watching your vlogs. Very interested in your rig and trailer, would love to have someone like that.
Hey Scott- thanks for the comment. It's a custom 5th wheel built by Space Craft Mfg on a semi trailer chassis. Very heavy at 42,000 lbs this the need for the HDT.
Shane, we're definitely going to make that a trip. We'll do part of it in the Class C and some of it in the Big Rig. Glad you're along on the journey. Appreciate your comment. 😊
@@bigtruckbigtravels you should definitely come to cape cod there are some places you can park on the beach you could take the class c there for a couple nights the beach is called nasset beach
You are so very right! Air ride is the only way to go. What I'm most impressed with is how the heavy pin weight works so well with the air suspension of the truck and makes for a smooth ride. Thanks for watching and your comments. We really appreciate them. 😊
Lol... sort of in storage. It's at our daughter's house. It will be mated with another more suited to the Jeep. Thanks for the comments and appreciate your watching the channel.
The harvest host site where really nice . Being able to see the different animals especially the alpacas was a plus . I wouldhavebeen like a kid in a candy store , lol . I loved the second hosts home . 😊
