  • Icebergs! Bears! And a boat running into both of them?!? Are we crazy? Well, maybe a little but Alaska offers a lot to see and experience.
    Can we get our Class C Magnitude from Thor off the Ferry at Wrangell on the Alaska Marine Highway System? This is what RV Fulltime Living is all about. Adventure
    Wrangell may be the friendliest community in Alaska. Free potlucks? Free Dungeness crab? What is going on?
    We've been planning this Alaska RV road trip for over a year and we're doing it. Enough talk, let's walk! Well...we'll drive but you get the picture.
    They raise the bridge and place dunnage (planks) under the tires to get us free from the ship! We hope the campground has room. I didn't tell Sondra there are only 13 sites. Can't locate the Harbor and that's where the campground is so I hope it's easy to find.
    Anan Bear Observatory is a bucket list item along with pictures of seals on icebergs, bears catching salmon and a glacier calving which we got all of them! And more! Oh and the cubs are sooo cute!
    We hike to Rainbow Falls and it is a "special" water feature which we find. It's very cool. But our time at Wrangell comes to an end and we must go!
    Our RV is a Thor Magnitude so we hope it survives but the views are magnificent, awesome and stunning so the trip is a once in a lifetime event.

    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 and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks (Happilyeverhanks) #thankshanks. Believe it or not, I have received great ideas from MrBeast, Mr Beast or Beast on his channel.
    Our journey is the destination. We want to share our experiences in our discovery of What's Next.
    I get my music from:
    Epidemicsound.com
    Tracks:
    Dear Lily by Houses on the Hill
    Happy Trails by Erik Fernholm
    Kailua Beach Park by Paper Twins
    Lost and Happy by Speedy the Spider

    Amazon Shop (no extra charge to you)
    A convenient way to see (or buy) the items you see in the video's which may help in your adventure.

    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:
    Gotreads.com
    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"
    2016 Smart fortwo "Pathfinder"
    2019 SpaceCraft Custom built semi-trailer 5th wheel "Orion"
    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
    We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded.

    While I was in Homer, Alaska, I went into a small cute little book store. I was hoping to find any books I could find relating to the Native Alaskans, their culture, how they adapt and survive in such a harsh winter environment. However, I saw the cover of a book titled, "Ada Blackjack", and it drew me in like a magnet. It is the true story of a Native woman that was with some of the explorers of Wrangle, their failures, the challenges, and all the extreme hardships she and only a few others were able to endure. I still haven't been able to finish reading the book. I have a life long problem of not being able to read too many pages and then I either fall asleep or have to go back to re-read something I couldn't quite remember. I sure wish they would make this book into a movie, especially since it is a true story. Thank you for taking us to Wrangle so I can see what it looks like now, or should I say, from a different area than where they were. I'm going to start reading the book all over again and maybe this time I can finish it.
    This is one of your videos that I will be watching over and over. Wrangel is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! So much to see, and all of it is so incredibly beautiful! Wish I had neighbors that would bring me fresh Dungeness Crab from Alaskan waters. OOPS!!! Kind of hard to do that here in Yuma, Ariz. Ugh!

    I love to watch bears. I watch Katmai National Park, Brooks Falls on UA-cam. They have Coastal Brown Bears. It is so amazing to watch them stand on the falls and catch salmon. Fat Bear Week is coming up in October. You get to vote on who you think should be the Fat Bear Champion. LOL They have chats on Wednesday and Thursday nights and sometimes during the day. Bears are so unique. They have their cubs during hibernation and bring them out in the spring, but hopefully not at the popular falls, so many things can happen to cubs. It is dangerous for the cubs to be around male dominate bears. The only way to get there is by boat or seaplane. It is an amazing place. They have stands on the river that you can watch them. It is not as rocky as this place. I enjoyed seeing the bears. Thank you for sharing your trip. You did it the right way and saw all of Alaska.

    Very interesting timing of your posting an iceberg excursion. Yesterday’s news had a story about Martha Stewart having a cocktail with ice from an iceberg. Needless to say there was an excess amount of flack from the environmentalists. Commentators were all saying was very unnecessary as the ice was from icebergs that were already melting. Anyway, I think these cocktails were taken off the menu. Enjoyed your video.

    In the stomach and hot flashes.. Both of your faces turned red and with the reflection
    Your faces were Orange l have to admit that it gave me a chuckle but l was so happy for you that Çuriosity got on.😊🎉
    Orange.
    and cold sweats was when Sondra screamed STOP. Both of your faces turned red and with your

Have done the cruise ship to Alaska before but you both are showing so much more of the beauty that Alaska has to offer. I don't know how you keep from stopping and fishing though. Oh how wonderful to eat the fresh salmon and crabs, and shrimp, etc. Thank you both so much taking the time to shoot, edit and share with us. Wrangell could use a Whataburger though.
