Good job Jamie. Been following you guys since the Great Loop episodes. Have fun guys and Oakley
Damm guys. Happy to see a video but wish you were better. I’m sure only great things in your forecast. 🙏😊
What a grand design! Think of all the places you could go with a 25 foot rv.
Sure...But this IS our fulltime home... I just keep dragging it around, when i probably shouldn't...Hehe
Ahhh man again well thank God that nobody got hurt.
That blowout was scary to watch. Think I would be happy to see you downsize to a lux motorhome. Manageable and less time spent videoing set up/pack up and ongoing issues
I like that idea!...cheers
It is the same side you replaced the spring at. Did you ever check the alignment of the axle after you replaced the spring.
Sorry about the blow out those are never fun. It's a good thing you have great mechanical skills to get you out of trouble
I don't choose to DIY...i just cant afford the alternative! Hehe...thanks for watching.
Time to head back to Jupiter, to what you are most familiar….the Pacific beckons….
Jamie, did you check with your insurance...That may be covered under comprehensive??
Sorry for your luck Jamie not good you definitely have had some curve balls thrown at you Wow
Sorry for the broken spring, but I think the torque for those nuts are 90 ft lbs.
Thanks for that...gotta recheck them anyhow.
@SailingLifeonJupiter Okay awesome be safe.
Dont ask me how i know this but check the tension on u bolts after about 200 klms
Nice advice...will do that before we travel next! Thank you
How much longer are you planning on working before you set sail again?
They can't afford to go sailing after putting all the money into truck and POS trailer...
@@Ivansgarage When they sell that junk than they can get back to playing with real toys.
Ivan is right... The repayments on these road toys are killing us!
@ I guess we will have to find out than. When will you let us know? Those payments are not killing you. They are much less expensive than renting something and your able to travel which is the best thing that you can be doing. When you sell those toys, you'll be good to go again but will have to put that money back towards your moms home I guess.
@ One thing is for sure. Your living a dream life that many would love to live because of the adventure, travel and experience. Your living life to the fullest even though Ivan doesn't like your trailer. I like the inside but the size is way to large for me. Everything is a compromise and that depends on what your plans are. I think I would have gone with the motor home and towed a car behind it like you originally wanted to do.
guys seems like lots of problems. your sail boat never let u down like that,, seemed like Princess was going to jump out the window when you had the blow out, had i steer tire blow out on me well in the ditch back on the road in the ditch back on the road i thought i was a goner for sure all i can do is wish you good mojo ;)
stop brushing the curb. stay as far as you can from sidewalks. It's where all sharp bits and pieces are usually waiting for tyres lol
Hi you guys. I enjoy your RV series but really really wish you had bought a smaller RV. Sorry, had to say it one more time.
I think trailers that large are meant to be left in trailer parks not travelling the country !
I think you might be right! Cheers Jackie
I'm sorry to say this bro I've been watching all your videos I have not made any comments but you don't need a big trailer like that to be pulling behind your truck can you give me just as comfortable in one half that size and less maintenance to do on it and a lot less trouble but it's your money you want to pay that's why I just settle for my own pick up with my homemade camper on the back and I have a Harbor Freight trailer to build into a small trailer for camping to take with me if I need it less trouble less maintenance no reason to pull behind a big trailer that consume so much fuel I would really be considering getting rid of that trailer and getting something smaller you don't need all of that extra space
well said. I can hardly bear to watch sometimes.
Feel disappointed in your troubles with your trailer. The suspension looks way underrated for the large size of that trailer. The trailer has a toy department yet no weight in it, batteries should not have been a factor, your truck is well rated for pulling it but the suspension looks to be a major weak link, might be right in that you chose a poor quality, overrated trailer, your first one, hope you talked with other campers about name brands and feedback on quality, dependability & customer service/satisfaction. Anyway, waiting for you and Juppi!
(Take your money for this rig and run my friend)

Jeez a bit of a bad spell eh. The only saving grace is that there was no rust to cause you grief!
True dat... No rust...that we're aware of! hehe, cheers
Time for a smaller camper that thing is way to big and cumbersome
Works good in an open boondock situation...but not for THIS campground. Win some, lose some. Cheers
MINIMUM 12 ply tires should be all around.... not kidding ... when those trailer are built they are way under rated suspension and tires... before you add all your crap on them....
Wish we could afford a new set! Cheers Ivan
I think you're Weight and Balance calculations are corrupted with bad data from the manufacturer. I also think it's time you talk to a consumer protection lawyer immediately
Ah, we are overweight anyway....funny, suppose to be a toy hauler, we don't have any toys, yet still overweight!
Stupid ego to buy such a clumsy thing. Was it cheap ?
