Wow!! I mean…WOW!!! From the truck to the trailer to the upgrades, this is my idea of absolute perfection!! Definitely a new subscriber here. This whole setup is gorgeous. Very, very nice and my favorite, so far. Love this series, JD!!
Great video. Amazing upgrades. You seem like you know what you are doing towing that trailer with that truck. Since you are at you max towing capacity, I'm recommending you upgrade to a 3/4 or 1 ton single rear wheel truck, with a minimum of 2,ooo lbs. payload capacity. Since I've watched EVERY video from BTBRV, I think he would agree with me.
I am certain that he would agree. I knew I might catch some flac but that’s ok. We are close to our limits both towing capacity and gcvwr and I would like to upgrade to a 3/4 ton when we can. As for now we are doin ok and I weight the setup carefully to keep it even. Thank you for watching our video. It means the world to us !

Yeah i saw a V sag at the hitch when hooked up, either beef up the truck- look at hellwig and superspring or trade up. Maybe redistribute some weight to the rear if you can.
I like their honest opinion on all the things in their RV and why they modified things. It's better to hear from someone who has experience with the rv although I really love your reviews. But it's obvious you can't test them all out. Love the channel!
@@HomeOnTheHitch it was a pleasure! As soon as I move from Germany to the US I want a rv like that, so I am busy watching helpful videos like yours the last couple of months. Thanks guys for your efforts!
Home on The Hitch this makes me really happy seeing someone use this truck for actual towing. I recently got a 2017 Titan XD Cummins Platinum Reserve and plan to tow a 5th wheel (going to change to Reese Goosebox and use stock gooseneck hookups.) around the same weight as your trailer with it. First gotta do the custom exhaust, tunes, and helper bags. How’s the truck handle the weight on large hills? (Live near mountain passes) I imagine with your 90+ HP it’s sitting at a pretty healthy torque figure.
Hey BRBRV please do the math on this set up!! 1,850 payload with a 11k plus rig? With tool box+ 45 gal aux tank? Even with bare bones excess at 12-15%gvwr would YOU re omens that set up?
Have the same truck and similar camper, truck is way under rated from Nissan. My camper is 10000 loaded and stable and sure footed as can be. This truck is more than capable of what he is towing.
Hi Guys great video. Wanted to ask how do you like the residential fridge?Have you had any problems with traveling with it? How is it secured in? We have been thinking of going residential. Like the lift arms for the bed! Enjoy New England we have been on Cape Cod for the summer and to Hew Hampshire also. So beautiful here.
Full time or part time? I’m just curious as their channel info says they are part time. Awesome trailer and great couple, loved how homey and warm they made it!
We are full time part time. Soooo half and half.time. We still have older daughters at home for another year or so. After that the goal is full time with some type of home base. We do about 5-6 months a year on the road. Thank you so much for watching.
Home on The Hitch Thank you, only asked as the washer dryer comment was a hit home for us. We are going full time next month and I’m really trying to decide on washer dryer or keep the extra storage. The pandemic point of on it was super helpful for me and I appreciated the insight. Gave y’all a sub to follow your journey, stay safe!
With this smaller unit we use a flow restrictor to make sure the light has time to do its thing. As well as a flow sensor that turns the light on and off with water flow
I have an Open Range fifth wheeler 376FBH. Really like the mod especially the hydraulic bed lift mod. Where did you purchased the hydraulic lift from? Manufacturer and price?
I’ve got the XD diesel too. We had a hell of a time towing a 7500 pound trailer in the Rockies. I do have a question about the upgrades. Is it a delete? And what tune hardware or software did you use. Our rig could use some additional help. 2018 Nissan Titan XD. Thank in advance. Enjoyed the review.
Hey there. Thanks for watching! So I used PPEI for the tuning software. Ez lynk for the hardware. Awesome experience with both. Cold air intake. Absolute different truck. Towed through Colorado,Utah,New Mexico....etc in March. No problems. Fuel mileage up several mpg. No regrets. I have learned that with the v8 the rpms are higher. Find the sweet spot and don’t rush.
@@HomeOnTheHitch My comment came out a little more snarky than I had intended. My apologies there. Meant it as a light hearted joke. You'll definitely get better!
Oh thats a shower tower i bought from Ebay, numerous models to choose from and its a very easy install. I believe its called a ELLO&ALLO LED Stainless Steel Shower Panel Rain&Waterfall
Do you make house calls? I’d love to have some of those mods! Impressive work there. I hope your boss appreciates your handiwork. Does your channel show how you made some of those modifications? Thanks JD!
Hey There ! We do have some videos on our channel with some of these mods as well, and I can give you any information about them that you like. Thanks so much for watching and thank you BTBRV!
I have heard that it is a horrible experience. I hope that never occurs. I will probably saw it up in pieces with a sawzall before I take the slide out. Lol
@@stevendedeian7774 we love the residential style fridge. You’d think that they’d just increase the door size or have a fridge made that you could get out the door. Seems like some common sense is missing somewhere
Please add content to your channel for the truck upgrades and tunes. Would like to hear more. Everything looks good. I will be subscribing and looking forward to more videos
We’ve gotten about 15,000 miles outta my first factory installed tires We did that in 6 months. We since switched to transeagle tires that apparently USA made. We have currently 35,000 miles on that set and sidewalks are holing you nicely. The tread is still near perfect Please tell me to where to get those lifts for the bed
I am interested in getting something like this for the wife and I, is there a big difference in handling of the trailer for someone who has never owned a trailer like this, I would like to grow in to a trailer not grow out of a trailer?
wow....thats nice...I recently purchased a Open Range 30rls, and am wondering if I have enough truck to do the job while traveling cross country...the truck I have, has lots of miles, but mechanically is perfect in every respect...its a 2000 Ford Superduty F350 4x4 with the International 7.3 diesel,with a garret turbo, and the 4r100 transmission.with O/Drive,.truck has 350,000 miles on it...trailer is a 2012 model...do I have enough truck for the task of pulling safely...qould appreciate any comments...thank you...steve
Hello. Thank you for watching our video. It is considered 4 season. The underbelly is insulated and it is heated as well. We got a good deal and yes I guess cost is a relative question but I would call it expensive lol. We were in the upper 30s.
That is the craziest shower head I have ever seen. "Thomas has upgraded the shower head" pan to the showerhead that he stole from the NASA lab on his last visit. I hope you also kidnapped the rocket scientist that made that thing.
Lol. Thomas wanted to install the replacement faucet we had. And he did. Only to find it was broken. So , surfing the interweb he ran across this on eBay and bada bing. It’s shower time !!
Thank you for watching and the kind words! We are beyond excited to have all these new subscribers , sounds silly i know, but it has motivated beyond belief. Thanks again
So I really think that Nissan wasn’t really prepared for the diesel on the service side of things. Dealerships hardly have any diesel techs and I don’t care who you are, there are going to be problems with a complete new platform launch. I don’t think that they were prepared for it nor could provide the service to catch up on it. It’s a very strong Cummins engine. And a solid truck. Maybe in the future they will try again.
To me RVs' seem like Glock h*ndg*ns. You can buy one and have a decent unit but add a bunch of upgrades to make it what u want or buy a CZ or Sig that already has it all.
We are very close to Nissan’s numbers but not over. That being said, I think there is a lot of room with this truck. I think with it’s weight , boxed frame, giant brakes , etc. that it probably could go a lot higher. But yes we are close to the numbers.
First of all traitor. American made trucks only. Lol. Ford are the best. They are the only engines that can pull a trailer with a helicopter on them. They dont wear down like the others. 2 wth. How are you going to pull that with a 1400lb tongue weight when your vehicle only has a payload of what was it 1700 i think you said. That leaves 300lbs leftover to load your truck with and im sure you and your wife are at least 300lbs together then her purse is probably 50lbs or more lol and all the stuff you would bring in the truck would put you over the safety line. Thats dangerous.

Thank you!
Nice to see you pulling with a titan xd. I have an old titan and wanting to upgrade soon for more towing confidence!
We love ours for sure
Can’t beat em. Better grab you a diesel used while they are still around with low miles
Slick upgrades!
Thank you !!

Just looked at Dutchmen triton rv and saw a mid bunk toy hauler
The mid bunk are really nice for sure. Lots of space.
Did I hear that correctly? 9025 *unloaded* weight?
"Tow rating of 11,850 lbs" ... I'm genuinely concerned here, specifically the gross combined.
And here we go
99codemister I’m actually surprised JD put this video up. Kinda goes against his beliefs.
I'm concerned too... he is definitely pushing the limits that Titan's GCWR and Payload.
Jeff Martinson only on paper. I have the same truck and it will handle this weight no prob.
I have this exact same Travel trailer, I used to pull it with an F-250, I've been looking to buy a Titan XD, how was the towing experiece?
Does your model have the whisper quite AC units? If so how well do they keep up with 100° days
Very Nice! We are in the market for a TT. How is the reliability of the Open Range and their customer service? Thanks

Wait what? I cant run my ip. With the ac?
Ill susbacribe
Lol. Well, depending on you service. 30 amp or 50. No. With the added shoreline we can run both ac units and the dryer or ip or hair dryer.
Have a Titan XD too and love it. That being said, your really pushing the numbers with that rig,....NO?
