Thanks everyone for joining in on the journey. The boxes we picked up at the Coca-Cola distributor were syrup (Diet Coke and Coke Zero Sugar) for our soda fountain machine in Orion. We used to get them here when we volunteered at Yellowstone so were hoping that we still could procure the flavors. Sondra was getting low...dangerously low!
You two never cease to amaze me. You’re the most pleasant people I know (I feel like I know you). Why you continue to take the time to put together these wonderful videos is hard to comprehend, but we all appreciate it!
Thanks, John. We do it for our travel memories and because of great people like you that have an interest in this lifestyle. We always said that one of the core tenets of the channel would be to give back to the RV community and help to answer/show others their own path to RV travel. So many have given of their time when we had questions during our research phase that we felt a pull to do the same through the channel. We sincerely appreciate your time watching the channel.
I just now caught you here on TH-cam, have only watched episode done a month ago,and now I'm going to go back to the beginning of your journey .Thank you for taking us along!
I don’t think you need to worry about the length of your videos! If I don’t have enough time to watch it in one sitting I watch the rest later! I know someone made a comment about one of your recent videos being too long but I disagree! I love seeing all the places you go and they can always fast forward! Don’t change your videos to make them shorter!!! My husband and I are using you guys to help us decide where to travel once we retire!!! Keep on keeping on!!!
You both are awesome. I really enjoy you sharing your journeys. You both look like you have a lot of fun together and that’s what life’s all about. My parents have been full time rvers for going on 20 yrs. They finally settled down in Brookings, OR 3-4 yrs ago. They work at a resort on the weekends and have fun during the week. Your videos are much appreciated from here in Sparks, NV.
We are glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for sharing your parents' story! Sounds like they are enjoying life. Brookings is a nice area and the Oregon coast is amazing.
Last August, 4 days into our month-long western trip, we had a flat tire on our 5th wheel while staying at a Harvest Host farm outside of Rapid City, SD. We were headed to Billings to stay all night with one of my childhood friends and her husband. Dave took Linus to the other Stanley Tire location to have them repair the tire and change out the spare. They treated us like gold!!! Great people there!
Have to say it’s awesome to see more subscribers each week ! Love each video - this one resonates with me, since new tires are on my must-do list before Wyoming winter hits, though nothing like what it costs you. Glad you found a good place to do the work. Looking forward to next Thursday’s video - definitely the best travel channel on TH-cam!! ❤
You got out of Glacier just in time. Logan Pass had a good dump of snow. Enjoy your new tires (ouch). Good to be safe and diligent with the maintenance. Take care and have fun.
When you had a video a while back, and I thought, wow, it's sure getting close to getting new tires !!! Thank you now I can relax and know you'll be safe now !!!!
That steer tire is similar to a dump truck tire size.18 k lbs capacity. The typical otr tractor is 12,000 lbs a little less. But 6 thousand is typically the rate for 3 axel brand name tires.
Wow great deal on your tires, I just bought 6 toyo tires 22.5/295/80 installed with centramatic wheel balancers. In California from les Schwab tire center for the outrageous price of 5,200 dollars. Next time I'm going to Montana. Love your channel thanks for all the great work putting out the content. I just retired and am ready to hit the road and I figure if you can get your rig to fit I can get a 40 ft. Tiffin allegro bus with toad to fit.
Great videos and photos (as always). I enjoyed seeing these new areas (to me). I don’t think I will ever have my 4 tires replaced without thinking of you 2 and being thankful it isn’t 22! Looking forward to next week’s adventure! Thank you.
for soft ground for your landing gear, make some 1.5 to 2 foot square sandwiched plates out 2x4's in the middle with 1/2" plywood on both sides with rope handles. Its cheaper than the Wrecker. Oak Slats from old pallets will work instead of 2/4s then glue and screw
I separate my tires into three categories: Steers, Drives and trailer, and I replace them on different schedules with my steers being replaced at the highest priority. Also, some heavy duty tires can be out of round from the factory which makes them hard to balance. The fix is to have a shop (a reputable one) shave them.
Thank you so much for the beautiful videos of this beautiful creation of God . Hopefully I will get to experience some of these beautiful places you take us on. Great editing of the videos. Safe travels and see you next week
That's actually a very good price for 18 tires. I'm sure going to an independent tire shop saved some money. A couple of months ago, I took a trailer to one of the big truck stop shops to replace a tire (sidewall damage), and the bottom line was around $800. A roadside tire change from a blowout can go over $1000...
I can hear Pathfinder giggling with delight from here! There’s no feeling more confident when you’re hitting the road than a set of new tires. Spendy yes, but so worth not worrying. Thanks for showing that tending to maintenance is all part of getting to ‘What’s Next’👍🏼Be safe you two!❤~Wendy
We enjoy traveling with no firm plans. Nice to find a surprise camp site every so often. I have ridden the area along the Salmon a number of times and it is awesome.
Good morning. I really enjoy watching your TH-cam Channel. I love to see places you have traveled too. I travel a lot in my SUV to Louisiana. So I hope one day to see you guys. Enjoy.
Great video! The only thing you missed in Great Falls was the best piece of pie I have ever eaten - Huckleberry Pie. A local joint had one piece left. Thank you for sharing.
My 2018 Volvo is paid off In December. Thinking about following your footsteps. Just me and the dogs though. Love watching you 2. Thanks for all the happiness!
Hello guys, that sunset was beautiful, the water lake was also beautiful, that bill was soooooooooooooooooo Expensive wow. love you guys be careful and safe.💜💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You and I both have had run ins with the police on Hwy 89. You talked your way out of it!! I got a speeding ticket trying to get a pastor to church on time for a church service after spending the day north of Yellowstone quad riding in the mountains. Isn't it great how new tires make a rig drive nice. Another great video. Thanks for sharing with us..
@@bigtruckbigtravels you look after your tires and they will look after you. Keep them aired up right and don't drive over any curbs and such and enjoy the new ride. 😎👍
You guys popped up on my suggested and I’m going to give you a sub just because both videos I saw were really nice and even better not getting bombarded by adds
Oh, David, you big cornball, you had me chuckling today with all your puns. Im glad you don't get "tired" of coming up with those zingers! Who "Dewey" thank for your crazy sense of humor? 😵💫😳😱 😄😆😅😂
Ya'll are so cute😅 Love the puns😂 Shew, I was just wondering how often you replace your tires and boom, this video comes out. Beautiful scenery and great music!!! Awesome job!!!
That’s pretty wild getting the tires that way, but I would do it too. I want all my tires (four) to be the same age. Plus that Missouri Breaks place was cool. I love finding the head waters of rivers and looking at maps of the river basins. Sooo interesting.
Omg your in Livingston. Our oldest son and daughter in law and 3 grandchildren lived there for about 8 years now, they moved from Maui to Livingston. My wife and I are now in Belgrade / Bozeman I am getting treatment on my Cancer. We love it here and I hope we can survive the cold winter 🤙🤙. We love your guys videos. Thank you
Thank you. Yes, we hope you survive the winter too! It does get cold... and snow! Love that area. We were in Yellowstone at Mammoth for 4 months. Went to Bozeman monthly for groceries. Neat town.
Having been in the tire business for almost 40 years, tires are an “O’ Shi#” purchase. People are rarely enthused to spend their money on tires. As I always told customers, just remember tires stop your vehicle!
As an otr operator. I replace my tires just above half tread. Never had a tire issue since I owned my truck , up to 120,000 miles a year. If I had a trailer I would definitely have a trailer tpms system along with plumbed air system to the trailer tires. I get a great price when selling and get new tires at full tread for maximum water slush snow dispersal. Side note as a company driver never had debris pop a tire under 8 32 nd tread thickness. Measure tread depth weekly to check for upcoming suspension weak to resolve allignment issue before it eats a tire or tires. Safe travels.
Man o man, what an AHHHHMAZING sunset!!!!! Loved it!!! David, watch out for Sondra and the “Mom” jokes, I think she is gonna catch up to you. She is starting to come off the top rope with some funneeee ones. Great video guys, you two are great 2gether!!! 👍😃🍻
You caught a wolverine on camera crossing the road! Wolverines have a very characteristic walk and gate - they move fluidly and quickly - on longer legs than a badger. Badgers are close to the ground and ‘waddle’ when they move. Wolverines are dark brown fur color while a badger is a mix of grey, black & white fur color. While admittedly a very rare sighting, wolverines populate the state of Montana, especially in the western third of the state near water sources. Over thirty-five years traveling throughout Montana I’ve seen three wolverines but I’ve never captured one on camera. Your wolverine sighting was quite unique and very fortunate!!
You did really good on the 18 tires. I paid for 6 new tires over $4000 installed. Great adventures. We will be traveling next week enjoying the fall colors in September/October in beautiful Michigan. Safe travels!
Being a lifelong 4 wheeler I have always looked forward to new tires, that new rubber smell and the gushhy feels of fresh flexible tire lugs. LOVE the vids and the long format. I have to say that at your age it Really is time to stop drinking that diabetes water. It truely is a ticking time bomb for insulin resistance and cancers, alzimers along with type 2 diabetes. CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS. Steve h.
All things considered it seems like not a bad deal on that many tires. I try to put the truck tires on the trailer when they wear down most of the way and then let them age out on the trailer, by then the truck already needs new tires so the cycle starts over.
I always heard that hdt tires were around $1000 each. You guys got an amazing deal on all 18. I would have never guessed. Not nearly as bad as I would have imagined. Still a lot!
Such a great video as always. I’m also learning some things along the way. Thanks so much and can’t wait for the next one. Enjoy the adventure. Take care and be safe
Yes, I was curious about the amount for the tires ! For me that use to change just 4 tires, it was a really high amount !!! Thanks for the video, as usual it was interesting.
Every Friday morning we both enjoy our coffee with your videos...now that is a great way to wake up even to "bad jokes". Thank you for the post sharing what you picked up at the distributor we were left hanging on that one! More beautiful scenery and boy David sure can find the places to boondock. He and my guy Gary would get along famously, both Google Maps folks! Tires may have been pricey but they sure are important! Another very enjoyable video, we will catch you next Friday morning!
Hopefully the more aggressive tires wear decent for you. When we ran otr trucks years ago our trucks that ran lighter loads went through them like crazy, they didn't have decent wear patterns. Our trucks that stayed heavy all the time did better, the tires didn't cup the tread. But they were nice in the dirt, snow etc.
Another interesting and entertaining video. My wife and I have done business with Staley Tire for many years, very good people. We live in Joliet about 25 miles from Billings. I like your travels a lot, be safe and happy. (you two are always happy !)
I had to shell out $1200 a tire for 365's that are used on the fronts of our RV. They are only made by Michelin only 1 time a year. My other 315's can be sourced from other manufacturers. I feel your pain and experience it every 7 to 8 years.
Another enjoyable video! Thank you. Paul and I were at Great Falls MT as we came back from Canada in June too for a week. Really enjoyed the L&C Interpretative Center. But, the Great Springs and the shortest river was our favorite. ❤❤
I hope you got to enjoy the Sawtooths and Stanley before the forest fires started and that are occurring there now. Thanks for another fun video. Safe travels.
So impressed you got such a good deal on 18 tires! Very savvy shopping I honestly thought it would be at least $10,000 . Loved the beautiful spring and that beautiful water. Happy to know you are safe on the new tires. Have fun till next week 👏👏👏👏👏
@@bigtruckbigtravelsSince Uturns and 3 point turns require so much clear real estate, you might want to consider buying a drone to launch to a 250 ft altitude before you get into situations requiring high risk high mileage backouts, tight no exit parking lots, overhanging trees and wires on private or rural roads, etc.
@@bigtruckbigtravels 5th wheels are not big in Australia as their is a very heavy emphasis on Off Road Caravans. What 5th Wheelers are around are if 25-27ft lightweight. Global Diesel Utes, from 30-35ft, A European Cab Chassis Van or a 3/4 ton US Pickup. Really heavy 5th Wheelers, European MDT, Japanese heavy Medium or Conventional Australian produced Semi's

Shelf life on those BIBs is too short for domestic use, unless you're drinking like 15 oz a day, which means you've got an addiction problem.

You got out of Glacier just in time. Logan Pass had a good dump of snow. Enjoy your new tires (ouch). Good to be safe and diligent with the maintenance. Take care and have fun.
That happened to us in July one year. Stuck until snow plows did their job. Lake Louise & Kananaskis just got a dump in Canada
Yes, it looks like our timing was great. Saw some muddy rivers too just after we left. Whew!
When you had a video a while back, and I thought, wow, it's sure getting close to getting new tires !!! Thank you now I can relax and know you'll be safe now !!!!
Right on, Anita! We saw that too and had planned on this a while back. Thank you for watching and appreciate your time.
We traveled for 5years pulling 36' Fifth Whell. Love your riga nd your travels.
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.
Fantastic deal on the tires. I just replaced the 8 Toyo 315/80-22.5 tires on my class A and that ran $6K before taxes.
Oh wow! We did good. Thanks
That steer tire is similar to a dump truck tire size.18 k lbs capacity.

I enjoy your adventures and today I learned something about Great Falls Montana. The natural spring was just amazing. Thank you.! Stay safe, have fun!
Glad you enjoyed it and the Giant Springs are phenomenal! I could sit there all day!
Was stationed at Malmstrom AFB. Lived in Great Falls for 5 years. Loved it. Our first 2 kids were born there.
Oh wow! That is cool! Such a small world.
Love getting new shoes for my truck! Also, I love the smell of new tires for some reason!
😆 🤣 oh, We get that. I love the feeling of new rubber on the road. Thanks
I guess you guys are officially "re-tired."😂 I'm so glad you stopped to see Giant Springs. I think it's one of the neatest places near Great Falls.
😆 🤣 that's funny, Phyllis. I missed on that one! The springs were phenomenal!
Thank you so much for the beautiful videos of this beautiful creation of God . Hopefully I will get to experience some of these beautiful places you take us on. Great editing of the videos. Safe travels and see you next week
Appreciate your comments, Steve. It's a beautiful country and we enjoy sharing it with you.

What a great price for all those tires! Awesome video again. Loved the Wildlife Preserve campsite you had all to yourselves!
Thanks for watching, Elizabeth! We loved our campsite. So peaceful.
I love finishing out my week watching your vid. Incredible scenery and great puns. Well done Travel safe
Glad you enjoyed it, Brendan. Hope your week went well and you're doing good. Thanks for watching

Love watching your videos great content and views of the northwest. My wife and I Rv part time on the east coast

I love Thursdays and seeing where you take me!
We're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
Happy people - you both seem to be. Beautiful!

Thanks for watching! Oh... they feel soooo good!

Great video guys, you two are great 2gether!!!
👍😃🍻
She's starting to get in her groove... but we'll see. 😆 🤣 Thanks for watching
I feel like we are following you guys! We were just in Yellowstone with 2 of our grandkids. 8/25-8/27. Saw bear, bison, elk and a fox!
It's a great area to visit. You hit the wildlife jackpot!
You caught a wolverine on camera crossing the road! Wolverines have a very characteristic walk and gate - they move fluidly and quickly - on longer legs than a badger.

I always like the pictures at the end. I will not feel so bad when I have to change the 6 tires on my motorhome.
😆 🤣 Thanks, Steve. You'll feel lucky!
Never a dull moment. Thank you again and again
Glad you enjoyed it, Susan. Our life is on constant motion, no doubt.
You did really good on the 18 tires. I paid for 6 new tires over $4000 installed. Great adventures. We will be traveling next week enjoying the fall colors in September/October in beautiful Michigan. Safe travels!
Tyre prices have increased somewhat - must be due to inflation (boom boom!)
Sounds great! That will be beautiful. We'll be in Kansas for October.
Fantastic video work, editing, drone, stills! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel. 😊
I love, love, love you both. I don’t miss an episode. I live in North Alabama. Wyoming and Montana are my two favorite places.
Great places to live, Kelly. We've enjoyed our time up here. Thank you so very much for your time watching the channel.
You guys are wonderful! We love your channel. Thank you for all the effort you put in to make it fun to watch.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching the channel.
Always appreciate the absolutely beautiful countryside! Safe travels! ❤
Thank you very much for your time watching the channel.
Great video again, always enjoy watching your adventures. Safe travels.
Glad you like them! Thanks, Gary for being part of the journey.
Being a lifelong 4 wheeler I have always looked forward to new tires, that new rubber smell and the gushhy feels of fresh flexible tire lugs. LOVE the vids and the long format. I have to say that at your age it Really is time to stop drinking that diabetes water. It truely is a ticking time bomb for insulin resistance and cancers, alzimers along with type 2 diabetes. CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS. Steve h.
Thank you, Steve h. We'll keep that in mind. Always trying to stay healthy... but we love the feeling of new tires... just not the cost of 18 of them!
I was happy to hear that the new tires aren't too noisy.
Us too. It was a relief! Whew!
Thank you for sharing your ventures again. I was enjoy watching your videos
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching the channel.
All things considered it seems like not a bad deal on that many tires. I try to put the truck tires on the trailer when they wear down most of the way and then let them age out on the trailer, by then the truck already needs new tires so the cycle starts over.
That's a good plan. Thanks
I always heard that hdt tires were around $1000 each. You guys got an amazing deal on all 18. I would have never guessed. Not nearly as bad as I would have imagined. Still a lot!
I think they have come down a bit but we were expecting it to be more so this was good.
Hello from United Kingdom I'm new here and I have learned alot where you been and the first red car was a Porsche
Thank you. My bad on the Porsche, you are correct. And cheers from across the pond.
Thanks. i enjoy your content all the time. You sure are right when you say the destination is the journey!
Absolutely! We're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
Was down where you were in Idaho in August as well, we stayed at Challis Hot Springs and did some SxS riding down there. Safe Travels.
Sweet! Great area for SxS activites. Beautiful hills and vistas. Hope you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
Such a great video as always. I’m also learning some things along the way. Thanks so much and can’t wait for the next one. Enjoy the adventure. Take care and be safe
Awesome! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
Another great video love you guys❤❤God Bless you Sondra and David
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.
Yes, I was curious about the amount for the tires ! For me that use to change just 4 tires, it was a really high amount !!! Thanks for the video, as usual it was interesting.
Glad to help and happy you enjoyed it. Thanks
You got a great price on your tires.Looking like a great trip you taking the scenery is beautiful
Thanks 👍Eric. It's really good so far.
Every Friday morning we both enjoy our coffee with your videos...now that is a great way to wake up even to "bad jokes". Thank you for the post sharing what you picked up at the distributor we were left hanging on that one! More beautiful scenery and boy David sure can find the places to boondock. He and my guy Gary would get along famously, both Google Maps folks! Tires may have been pricey but they sure are important! Another very enjoyable video, we will catch you next Friday morning!
Thanks, Susan. Glad you enjoyed it. We picked up Diet Coke syrup for the soda fountain machine since Sondra was getting low.
Hopefully the more aggressive tires wear decent for you. When we ran otr trucks years ago our trucks that ran lighter loads went through them like crazy, they didn't have decent wear patterns. Our trucks that stayed heavy all the time did better, the tires didn't cup the tread. But they were nice in the dirt, snow etc.
That's the plan! So far they are good. Thanks
I used to live in Fairfield Montana where you boondocked! Been to Giant Springs several times! Thanks for the memories!
Very cool! Beautiful area.
I buy fleet tires and parts for our school district. You did quite well! Feel good about it and keep on rolling safe!
Thank you, Scott. Appreciate your input... and confirmation. We researched it but you just never know sometimes "what's in a price".
Another interesting and entertaining video. My wife and I have done business with Staley Tire for many years, very good people. We live in Joliet about 25 miles from Billings. I like your travels a lot, be safe and happy. (you two are always happy !)
That is awesome! They are good people for sure. Great experience.
Great footage as always... hope to see you out on the road one day. Safe travels.
Thank you and that would be cool to run into you guys... well... not literally! 😆
What an amazing planet we live on. Gorgeous!
Isn't it stupendous?!? Around every corner we are continually amazed and humbled.
I just did tires on my dual axle trailer and pickup in Helena, MT today. And, I'm visiting Great Falls next Saturday! I'm a few weeks behind you! 😂
Woohoo! Great minds think alike!
I had to shell out $1200 a tire for 365's that are used on the fronts of our RV. They are only made by Michelin only 1 time a year. My other 315's can be sourced from other manufacturers. I feel your pain and experience it every 7 to 8 years.
Yes, but at least it's only every 7-8 years... and not 4-5! Thanks for watching the channel.
The tires was a big expense but much needed for your safety for your home on wheels 🚎 🚙 Safe travels 🥰 😎
Yes! Thank you! You don't mess with safety. Appreciate your time watching the channel, Joyce.
Loved the tire jokes today!! Be safe out there!
Thanks, Marian. I missed on being "re-tired" ...a channel viewer got that one! 😆
Bless yall
Thank you very much... we need all the help we can get! Have a great day.
Another enjoyable video! Thank you. Paul and I were at Great Falls MT as we came back from Canada in June too for a week. Really enjoyed the L&C Interpretative Center. But, the Great Springs and the shortest river was our favorite.
❤❤
Very cool, Yvette! That is the best. Love the springs!
Another interesting video of your travels ❤❤❤❤ love Lisa
Glad you enjoyed it, Lisa. Thank you for watching
@@bigtruckbigtravels I love watching your travels so much xx ❤️
your in my stomping grounds now idaho is great thanks for sharing your adventures with us
That's awesome! Love Idaho!
I hope you got to enjoy the Sawtooths and Stanley before the forest fires started and that are occurring there now. Thanks for another fun video. Safe travels.
Oh... you'll see if we did. This wildfires were fast and large! Totally unexpected! Thanks for watching the channel.
Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
My pleasure 😊
So impressed you got such a good deal on 18 tires! Very savvy shopping I honestly thought it would be at least $10,000 .
Loved the beautiful spring and that beautiful water.
Happy to know you are safe on the new tires. Have fun till next week 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks, Susan. We feel much better rolling on new tires. We were happy with the price and service. Thanks for watching
@@bigtruckbigtravelsSince Uturns and 3 point turns require so much clear real estate, you might want to consider buying a drone to launch to a 250 ft altitude before you get into situations requiring high risk high mileage backouts, tight no exit parking lots, overhanging trees and wires on private or rural roads, etc.
Great you have a proper truck to pull that 5th wheeler
You got that right, Robert! 😎😂😁 At 43,000 lbs our 5th wheel can't be pulled by anything else! Thanks
@@bigtruckbigtravels 5th wheels are not big in Australia as their is a very heavy emphasis on Off Road Caravans. What 5th Wheelers are around are if 25-27ft lightweight. Global Diesel Utes, from 30-35ft, A European Cab Chassis Van or a 3/4 ton US Pickup. Really heavy 5th Wheelers, European MDT, Japanese heavy Medium or Conventional Australian produced Semi's
funny.. i changed 6 at the same shop in August... same spot for our Airstream overnight behind the carwash, same tax savings!!
Woohoo! You're doing it just like us! Great find. Hope your evening was quiet as well.
You do so well to budget. David does well to park anywhere!
Thank you, Karen.
