- We drive through Texas and experience almost every kind of weather you can expect...except for snow! Thank goodness for that!
We are not Snow Birds but we do like nice warm weather and heading west is the best.

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 TH-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.
I get my music from:

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:

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.

You have earned your 42k+ subscribers. Your both are fun, likable, honest, and you make great videos. I appreciate your story telling.
Wow, thank you! We really appreciate that.
I love watching your videos every week, there are always something new.
Glad you like them! Appreciate your comment and we really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey.
It’s not often you see someone with enough Fresh water hose get water from the next state. The most organised RVs we have ever seen.
We are so pleased to see your channel grow so much since we started watching you all the way from Tasmania before your Alaskan travels. It’s a direct result of your quality video production and commentary. Not to mention some bad jokes along the way.
Always looking forward to your next one, every Friday down here.
Thanks, Robert. Oh... there's definitely more bad jokes on the way! So cool you're seeing it from Tasmania! Would love to get down there one day.
@@bigtruckbigtravels If you ever get to Tassie would love to meet you both and pass on all the not to be missed spots down here. You really need a month to see it properly. It might be a small state but there is something around every corner with no straight roads in between. You would love it for the scenery and walks.
Till then Safe travels.
Having met them before let me say how organized they both are. There's a reason David has such an nice collection of spare parts and Replacements tucked away in the belly of their trailer.
Love you both. Look forward to your video every week. Thanks ❤
Yay! Thank you! Really appreciate the comments and your time watching the channel. 😃
Congratulations on 40K. You guys are the best and a great inspiration!
Thanks so much! We're grateful to have you along.
I enjoy watching your video's, appreciate your positive attitude, and the spirit to go to all the places that you do. Having a 41' 5th wheel w/ a F-350 myself, I'm impressed with the places you guys can get into. Please keep up the good videos, safe travels.
Awesome! Thank you! We enjoy the travel and seeing new places. We're careful but it's amazing where we can go.
Thank you for sharing the driving part. What a ride; I full enjoyed it. No breaks 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it, Hans. We had all kinds of weather...on a boat, we would have been delayed a day or two with the wind!
Being from West Texas, i can help you with the white pickup enigma. It gets very hot in the summer time. A white pickup is not as hot in the extreme heat. Also a lot of the big oil companies buy fleets of pick ups. Usually all in one color, white.
Thanks, Debbie. We figured that was the reason but it's just so weird to see SOOO many in the area. But it makes sense since it's all about the oil in West Texas. Appreciate your comment and clarifying that for us.
Even affiliates of gas companies have white semis.
Congratulations on 40k. Love from India. Love watching your channel.
Thank you so much!! We're just getting started and appreciate your support.
I watch religiously.
Something that bothered me was a video a month ago when you got the truck stuck in a soft spot. He got so irritated and yelled. She was yelled at and i coukd see she was super uncomfortable. I totally get we are all human and sh*t goes bad.
I've seen sooo many videos and I love watching you both and honestly, I love the way his kindness is and the way he talks. I'm 48 and y'all seen like mom and dad and that comfort, I guess.
So when he snapped off, it really threw me back. Every video I've watched since then, I think of that. I think to myself, "Is that him?", but I see him in all the other videos.
U both seen like so chill and just easy going and thats what drew me to your channel and why I kept watching. So when I seen him snap off, I think it was just so unexpected and I seen some other side of someone i didn't expect. I wanted to ground him and make him stand in the corner (lololol).
I just had to finally get that off my chest. Don't block me, because I do enjoy watching and I envy the life you both have. It's a life I can only hope to have because well....I'm just a waste of space. I'm no person to ever judge - more so on edge with life and maybe because of how life has treated me. You both have brought positive in my brain.
I'll be here as long as you are and as long as you'll have me.
I don't know what y'all used to do for work, but its gotta be expensive to travel like u do. One day I want that.
Xo ~Brooklyn
Thank you very much for your time watching the channel. It was frustrating to get stuck because the truck did not perform as it was supposed to. We spent a lot of money to fix it, and it seemed like it was a waste. We may have not set the traction correctly after watching the video. It's all good, we'll get it corrected. Appreciate your comments. Glad you're along on the journey.
@@bigtruckbigtravels ❤️ much love to ya both :)
A half a mile walk to the bathroom thank God you didn’t have a bad stomachache 😂🤣😂 run as fast as you can.
😆 🤣 yes. Thank goodness no Montezuma revenge!
Thanks, guys. I enjoyed the show.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
I always enjoy watching TH-camr videos of RVers going through El Paso. I spent 10 years there when I was in the military so it always nice seeing it again.
They have made a lot of improvements to the flow. We like driving through El Paso. Thanks
I grew up in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. I can tell you that it’s always under construction in that area!! Used to refer to I 75 which goes North and South the longest parking lot because it moved so slow back then. They can’t keep up with the amount of new people coming to DFW. Been that way all 56 years I have lived in Texas
It does seem that way! We used to live in Lewisville and drove that section daily. 😳
I watch from NZ I appreciate your vlogs I love this channel & you lot you are funny, the scenery is amazing. Take care. P.S. Glad you got to 40.000❤
Love hearing about viewers from NZ. We'd like to get down there one day. Thanks for the comments. We can't believe we're at 42K now. Glad you enjoy the channel and we're excited to have you along on the journey.
Looking to see how you got out of the Walmart. I remember years ago on our way to FL. from ME. we stopped at a Walmart in Brunswick GA. on thanksgiving (the Walmart was closed) . The next day was Black Friday and the lot was FULL. I walked around to map my way out with 38 ft fifth wheel. Enjoy watching your travels. We stopped traveling two years ago. We have been in 49 states with the RV.
Sweet. 49 states is cool. This coming week will show it all!
Oh my....what an excursion through the Lone Star State! Safe travels home you guys 👍🍔🤠
Thanks. It was quite the few days of travel! Glad we got to our next stop.
Maybe next time you can try rubber and a clamp maybe nice job guys luv the videos take care god bless😊😊
Yes, next time will be a more robust and flexible design. Thanks
Followed your channel for a while. We RV in a much smaller rig and can relate to your stories. We love seeing the places you visit and have some on our list to visit. Thanks for your weekly videos. Safe travels.
Awesome! Thank you! We hope it's enjoyable and informative.
I'm laughing so hard, shaking my head up and down, and saying out loud "I know that's right!" My husband 10 ft away in our RV is like what? You guys sound just like us!! I think too many gps's is a bad thing. I rode with him for a year when he was an 18 wheeler driver and now almost 6 years in our 40' Class A. It's an adventure for sure!!! Have fun. Safe travels! ~Lynette
Well then... if you're like us... then you're having fun! 😆 🤣 Thanks for your comments.
50k as I’m watching living vicariously through you guys!😊
Correction. On 6/11/24 your at 59K views
Thank you. Only possible with good people like you tuning in to see our travels. Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃
My compliments! This was just beautifully filmed and edited, and the music fit perfectly. WOW! You could do this for a living, if you ever wanted to. The whole thing was beautifully assembled and the flowers 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 The sad note was the loss of that spectacular ceiling fan that I loved. PS. Can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the movie version.
Almost an hour and it flew by !!
Glad you enjoyed it, Susan! Yes, we were sorry to lose the fan but it was on borrowed time as we had a few other issues related to travel. We'll get a more "conventional" fan as a replacement. The flowers were spectacular and such a welcome sight after the desert for 3 months. Happy you to hear you enjoyed the "directors cut, extended version"! 🤣😊😎
@@bigtruckbigtravels I love loved loved the directors cut! It was awesome 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Susan
David should be a What a Burger spokesperson!!!😄
😆 🤣 Thanks. I should be... but they don't need to pay me because they get free airtime regardless! 😆
Oh, no Quinlan! Should have just stopped by and had lunch with us you were so close.
Oh my! That sounds tasty!
Congratulations to you both from Melbourne Australia 🦘 such a joy watching your videos ❤🎉
Thanks so much! 😊We love hearing from our Aussie friends.
Congratulations on 42K subscribers! Boy this video is certainly relatable between the "I think we have enough fuel", "which route do we take" (as we are coming up to the deciding fork in the road), "how are we gonna get outa here" and of course the battling GPS! Makes the journey that much more of an adventure!
Thank you! It seems like there are always small "things" which happen on a trip. It's good to know others experience the same.
So fun to see you travel through my area! That I20 to I30 is just a mess all the time!!
We love Texas but there is always construction in North Dallas.
Always! And I 30 is getting widened on the east of Dallas, so challenging driving that route for the next year or so!
Yes, steering rear axle and also preventing people from changing lanes and getting between escorts
Thank you. Man... they were close!
I like watching your channel because you actually travel and aren’t trying to sell everything-Most of these TH-cam people aren’t doing 10 minutes of their 20 minute videos trying to sell stuff-I don’t watch many of them anymore or I fast forward through the commercial -
We went from Tucson to Las Cruces on Easter Monday on interstate 10 -But we didn’t see you driving-I would have loved to see you rig in motion ⭐️☀️🌵🇺🇸
We may have driven through there ahead of you. Thanks for watching the channel...yeah, we don't plan on selling stuff or sponsors... just our life on the road.
Blue bonnets are very beautiful..Texas Green...I have not saw bright green grass in since last year what a treat. Were u able to fix the water line without to much trouble? And the fan. A more expensive week for you but thankfully you are probably able to do it yourself! Great video as always. See you next week!❤ congrats to 42 thousand.. its just the beginning. Your just getting warmed up!
Thank you very much. Water line will be in a month and the fan will be in the near future. Just need to find a nice style we like. Bluebonnets are spectacular this year.
Love your videos! Congratulations on the 40+ subscribers! Be safe out there!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate your support.
Amazing contrasts, incredibly dry landscapes to the most beautiful greens. Sorry about your fan club trying to make a break for it. Congratulations on the 40k
Thanks 👍Brendan! The "fan club" didn't get far! We'll get another... maybe a flush mount. It was amazing the contrasts within the week we traveled.
Love your videos guys. From Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you. Always great to hear from our friends down under! Getting close to winter, eh?!?
🇨🇦 great job guys. 40 & counting.
It counts each week. Been an amazing journey and we're just getting started.
Another great video guy's...congrats for your 42k subscribers you earned that ...safe travels ..kev 🇦🇺
Thank you so much 😀, Kev. Appreciate your time and support watching the channel.
Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Good video.
Thanks, Erin... but not a great video?!? 😆 Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃
That is so awesome that you guys can do this and enjoy traveling.. love your videos we watched them all and look forward for the next one’s
Thanks so much!! We enjoy this lifestyle and love to share our experiences with everyone. Glad you enjoyed it and excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
Enjoy your channel and love the rig. Makes my 40 ft diesel look minuscule. I watch you use your collapsible ladder to get on your roof. Could you please provide me with the make and model of it? I checked our Amazon store but did not see it.
Keep up the bad jokes as I have heard some of mine used by you and that drives my kids nuts - so I won't stop.
Thanks. It's on there now but it's an X-Tend 15 foot collapsible ladder with the silicone top guard. Oh...never stop with the Bad Dad jokes..they say they don't like them...but they miss them when you don't say them!
I’m surprised you guys don’t have one of those camp battery things that nomads use. Btw I’m living through you guys. I’m 36 married for 18 years father of 4 boys and I deliver ready mix concrete. So I hope to one day be in your shoes.
Thanks, Juan. We have one now... for the future! You just never know...
At 57 I'm more of a glamper. While our 25' bumper hitch isn't big, it has all the amenities I need ...water, rain/wind proof, my mattress, refrigerator, and frequent dump stations. Thanks to our big Power Package, coffee, charged devices and occasional hairdryer aren't an issue.
David....how do you find the free county parks? If you have a video on planning, apps, technology you use, this trip planner would love to see it.
Hey, Jane, we did a presentation at the rally on this and we'll post a video on it in the near future. Thanks
Sounds like a nice set up which will take you everywhere in comfort.
Always look forward to your videos on thursday. Did you resolve the water pipe problem?
Not yet. It will be addressed in late May with a better design. Thanks
We travel with a German Shepherd and mixed breed. You aren’t sneaking up on us with our mixed breed. Being aware of your surroundings is always important regardless of where you are.
Very true! Nice security system!
My wife and I love your videos
Thank you very much.
While you are in the South, please come to the Upstate of South Carolina. You will really enjoy Greenville, SC, and we would love to meet you!!!❤
We love Greenville. Used to live near downtown, Smoking Pig near Clemson had the best barbecue. Lemon Grass downturn Greenville is really good Thai.
I LOVE PEOPLE THAT SPEND A MILLION DOLLARS ON THEIR RIG AND THEN SAVE A QUARTER ON GAS AT THE PUMP. THAT'S PRICELESS! JUST REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO.
😆 🤣 We just want to make sure we have enough to get us to the place when we have to go!
16:53 I reccomend putting something similar to a heat shield or diamond plate to protect that water line. I would completely shield every part that sticks out from under the RV. Additionally, I would wrap the entire water line in an insulating tube that looks like a skinny pool noodle. That will protect it from road crud AND freezing weather.
Thank you. Yes, those improvements will happen in May.
@@bigtruckbigtravels you can also use electrical conduit to protect the lines.
Vacationing in South Padre Island....enjoyed my first what a burger.... delicious
Oh wow! That is very nice! Glad you enjoyed it!
We love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. I love the W B sweet spicy bacon cheeseburger too. ;-)
Thanks for watching! I love that sandwich. Nothing like it out there!
You should go to the Wichita Mountains in Lawton Oklahoma. You can see wild buffalo.
Ohhh...we'll try to stop by in the near future. Thanks
What is that amazing tool you are using on your sewer hose! Love you guys and your videos
It's on the Amazon store but they went out of business...so sad!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoy your shows. Especially your bad dad jokes!
Hello, I just subscribed to your channel. The video was great guys I really enjoy your videos & travels and you really give out good information. & sites sight. I just love you guys, I think you're great. see you on your next video. Is safe travels. God bless you both. 😊💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🏵🌹🌺🌸
Oh...then you'll continue to enjoy because the "bad Dad" jokes just keep "blurting" out! Can't help myself! 😂🤣😎 Thanks for watching.
@@bigtruckbigtravels he keeps rolling it out like rolling Voyager down the freeway.
@ Big truck big travel why do u the jeep n smart car? why don't you tow the smart car behind the 2 trailers?
Hey Sondra and David? Are you gonna do your annual budget show? I'd love to hear how things differed in 2023.
We're trying to get the time. 2023 was a little weird with Alaska skewing the numbers but we're talking about how to do it. Thank you
I've seen glances of it- but can you please share more about the infamous soda fountain dispenser? I need to seriously consider adding on for my wonderful hubby
We got it at Soda Dispenser Depot. They don't make the dispenser anymore like we have but it's just a regular home/commercial set up. A lot of it is in the basement or behind the wall.
Another good travel day except for the fan coming down
That was definitely a bummer... but we kind of figured it was on borrowed time.
Hey I live in Tucson hahah oh no now I’m commenting as if it’s a live show lol
That's good, Juan! Tucson is nice. We'll be back! Thanks
Love your bad jokes! Keep them up.
Thank you... oh they'll get worse before they get better... if they ever get better! 😆 🤣
I have driven through Texas a lot. It is always windy
Especially, West Texas Edward. We used to live in DFW area so we really enjoy Texas.
yes
Yes. That's good!
@@bigtruckbigtravels muito bom
We really enjoy y'all 's videos. Thanks for taking us along. DH has question...how do you decide which steps you use to get into your trailer? We have seen you use 2 different sets. Thx
Great observation and question, Kim! We use the aluminum steps if we are overnighting in a "tight" space or don't want to appear as if we have "moved in" to an area. The black steps with pull out from the trailer we use at campgrounds or Harvest Host sites where we have more room.
Wish we could drive something like your rig in Australia but we have nowhere to park them
That would be cool to have our rig in Australia! Might be pricey to ship it down under!
What's the little tool (or where did you get it) that you use to drain the sewer hose? Hubby is intrigued! Thanks for sharing your travels!
My husband would like to know as well.
It's on the Amazon store but sadly the company went out of business.
Come on folk, subscribe, they deserve to get to 100,000 subscribers soon. Another great adventure in the books.
Wow, thank you! And we so agree with you! 😊🤣😎
Here's a couple questions:
1) How many stops have you come across where you both were able to get your fixes -Whataburger and Chester's Chicken - simultaneously?
2) If and when that happened, did each of you buy at your respective spots, or do you flip heads or tails on whose spot wins?
Great question: unfortunately, we have never run across a stop where we could both get our "fixes" of Whataburger and Chesters. That would be a cool stop! Oh...and which one to go to? Whataburger, of course! (Chester's warms up better for dinner!). 🤣😂
4:50 Hose pays!
Oh, definitely! I was glad I had it!
Great video, as always. I'm just curious on what your average gas mile is in that rig?
Thank you. We average about 6.8 mpg over the past 5 years.
It was pretty bad you couldn't get into Rocky Point, We were there just last month, and it's just not the same as when our children were kids, And Yes the winds just😢 picked up at 50 MPH In El Paso at 1: pm today, And we were just in Odessa last week to pick some RV parts we got at a very reasonable price, well worth the trip, but the Traffic on I-20 is Terrible, that on the way back we got of I-10 at Sierra Blanca and took the rule road Texas 111 no Traffic at all, WHAT!!! 53:22 Did you just say Eclipse, Aww this is a very old vlog. And here I'm talking about our windy city today 4-25- 24😂😂😂
😆 🤣 The wind does blow in Texas...a lot! We enjoyed Rocky Point in the tent... but the RV would be better! Glad you had better traffic.
Seeing your video again tonight, We always take the Anthony gap /Óhara rd. State high way 404 then Loop 375 to I-10 it go's around el paso and it's been just newly renovated right turn on war rd, and on the to 54 then you got 3 choices 1st one you can get on to Loop 375 or 2nd on to 54 to spur 601 then right on Loop 375 or 3rd go straight on 54 to I-10 East to Van Horn at Loop 375 And Montana Ave You will find a Whataburger and you can park behind the Discount Tire.
I have a question since I saw Sandra backing the truck in to the RV. Does Sandra have a CDL? Since it’s a personal truck do you need a CdL. Silly question since I have a Class A myself but never looked in to the laws for personal use. Anyways I’m new and omg I love watching you travel. I started on the rocky point camp video.
Thanks, Juan. Great question. We don't need a CDL to drive the truck. It's registered as personal and Texas only requires a Class A non-commercial endorsement on the license.
Love your Videios Proud to be one of the 42,000 and growing! (Went to 3 Whataburgers when we were in Texas! HEY In this video David had a really cool wheel that he lifted the stinky slinky to force the waste towards the drain, There are so many parks where the connection sits so high I have to walk the waste that little wheel would come in real handy I tried looking for it on your Amazon page but can't find it can you help me Please?
Thank you so much for being with us. The wheel is on the Amazon store now but the company went out of business. Rats!
Mexican vehicle permits. Your motor home is unique. Therefore you need to be in contact contact with the director of a principal customs office to get a personal reveiw and approval. Then underling officials will fall in line. Example : park in Laredo, tx, drive the car across bridge 2 to the main customs office, talk to the top director with all of your documents including your noncommercial registration and interior/exterior fotos in hand.
That's a great suggestion. Thank you. We may look into that at a port of entry which can handle our size (such as Laredo, Nogales or San Luis). Really appreciate your comment.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤we love Watching your RV adventures🏞🚍
Thank you, Marie. Love you being along on the journey. 😊
Fan came down? Bet no lock tight on mounting bolts...vibration.. tisk tisk😢
Screws were fine but the fan slipped out of its bracket which allowed it to swivel... not a good RV design. Wiring is good so we'll replace with flush mount.
👍😎👍
😎😁
I’ve asked before. Where are your a/c units. I don’t see them. Or do you not have a/c?
Oh... we definitely have A/C! They are mini-split systems which are extremely efficient. Our compressor is on the drivers side front. Our air is distributed via two ceiling cassettes at each end on the trailer. They are boxed in on the roof so they don't appear as regular RV a/c units. It's a 36K btu system.
What do you do with your stickers?
Sondra sticks them in her journal book... to remember where we've been.
CITY OF MCCAMEY TEXAS HAS A NON OPERATING RV PARK. WE CALLED AND ASKED IF WE COULD OVERNIGHT AND THEY WERE PLENTY GENEROUS... FREE. WE WERE THE ONLY ONES THERE. YOUR TRUCK AND TRAILER WONT FIT AT THE DUMP STATION BUT WATER AND POWER WAS FREE. GOTTA CALL FIRST.
Nice! Thanks PeeWee! How's your building coming along? It'll start to get warm in NV soon.
I’m happy to be part of the 40k + who enjoy watching your channel. I always look forward to this time of the week to see the next adventure! Thanks for sharing with us!!
Glad you're a part of this journey and we are just getting started. Thanks for the comment.
I love all the wildflower footage. "He who has a watch knows the time, but he who has two watches, does not know the time." Having two GPS devices can be just as confusing. We can't always trust our GPS either. We've been in that area of Texas. When I saw Wills Point, I knew where you were. We stayed in the Thousand Trails park in Lake Tawakoni. It's really pretty there, but we have a membership, so it doesn't cost us anything nightly to stay. I enjoy your videos. Congratulations on your milestone for subscribers!
Great comment on the time, Phyllis. Thanks. We usually take each GPS directions with a grain of salt and confirm with map! We have never stayed at Lake Tawakoni but we have up at Lake Texoma. Nice area. Thank you.
Take good care of each other ...... been watching from the Philippines 😊
We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey. Thanks for being a part of the story.
David cracks me up. He always wears gloves to fuel up, but doesn’t wear gloves to empty the tanks on the RV.😁 Another great video!👏
😆 🤣 Ok... you have a very good point! And it is a little weird... but I can wash after dumping with no smell but diesel takes a day or so.
In David’s defense here, DEF acts as a corrosion agent so protection.
2 very nice people
Thank you. That's very nice of you to say.
Sondra, I'm with you on the extra box of Kleenex as the allergies are terrible, but we part ways on looking for snakes.
😂🤣😯Yeah...I'm not in there looking with her!
What was that tool you used to “massage” the sewer line down stream?
🤣It was enjoying it! It's on the Amazon store but sadly the company went out of business. It's be nice if someone else made one. Very handy.
Hey from San Antonio
Love San Antonio. Thanks
At 39:47 did that car make a u-turn and drive up the lane in the wrong direction?
Oh yes it did! It was sooo illegal but traffic was backed up for several miles. I wish a police officer was there but I think he got away with it. Could have been another accident.
I wish my Volvo cabover had a table set up in it, when you work and live in it, it would come in handy. Love the vids and seeing th US that you would not normally see👌
We love the Volvo dinette table setup. We always wanted a cabover but there are some things we'd have to give up so we're happy with what we have. Thanks for the comment. Appreciate your time watching the channel.
Who wouldn’t love your content .
You know...I don't know!?! 🤣😂😎It's clean and corny!
Do you guys not have the booklets for every truckstop company...pilot, flying j, loves, petro etc..that have all locations, contact info, exit, amenities, etc.,a must have for you guys..an truckers, most certainly..note to self..collect them all..
We do not... and actually didn't know it existed! Thanks for the info!
Just love you both
Thank you. That means a lot to us and we're excited to have you along on the journey. We're just getting started so glad you're with us.
I went thru Weatherford several years ago in a 1 ton pickup pulling a 25' horse trailer around that court house in 5 o'clock traffic. What a nightmare. People were giving me ugly looks. Glad ya'll did ok.
We did fine. Thanks. The guy next to me was very considerate when he saw me start to move over... he waved me on! 😆 🤣
How come these road detours come up so fast?? Even when you are so prepared. Enjoyed the video. Plus it’s Always when you need a bathroom break!!
Exactly!! I think because the area has so many travelers that all the alternate routes were being utilized. Good thing we found Sondra a restroom!
In your last video, the stop sign at the traffic light is common outside of the US. It is for when the traffic light is inop or turned off. The person was honking behind you because you were stopped at a green light. Ignore the stop sign when at a traffic light.
Ok...thanks. That makes sense, it just threw us for a loop at the time.
We have to live through y'all because we're too poor to live like y'all
Well...we appreciate you being there with us and sharing in this journey. It's not for everyone but we have met some great people on this path. Thank you.
Where do you get your sunglasses? I love how they cover your glasses
They are on the Amazon store under "Sondra's Stuff". She loves them.
Hi guy's...we used to load out of Santa Teresa nm and had to get the police to get us through El Paso...try it when your 230---250 feet long..90k - 110k +....front escort is to let people know to move over and block.....the escort right behind the blade is steering it ( Jeanne) when it turns...close because can't have anyone between them and the bade...the last escort is to keep all the cars out of the way when turning or changing lanes..you guy's stay safe...thanks for the video.

Hey J&A, thanks for the answer. We weren't sure why but all of the cars were positioned the same so we thought it was procedure. Thank you. From speaking with you earlier, we figured the car right behind was steering on turns but not sure why so close. Ok...makes sense to insure no one cuts in. That was a long load. Not sure how you guys did it for so many years. Wow! It's impressive. Safe travels to you.

Powinieneś mieć pojazd elektryczny i jechać tylko wtedy gdy panele słoneczne na dachu naładują akumulatory.
That would be cool... it would make us fair weather travelers! 😆 🤣
@@bigtruckbigtravels Co jest złego w samowystarczalności; off-grid?
@@ArturZagaj-Izraelita we have solar now, so yes, off-grid.
WOW!!! Those turbine blades are loooooooooong! I remember seeing them on freight trains while Amtraking, and they were maybe as long as 5 train cars.
They were really long...especially as they passed us! It seemed like it took forever!
