It's a bit refreshing to see Mr. Regular in a situation where he's not totally comfortable or knowledgeable. It makes the whole idea and aim of his work that much more accessible. It was almost a humble review in the way that Mr. Regular was basically riding shotgun while the owner did all the explaining. This is why I watch this channel and this is why Regular Car Reviews is for the people.
I know some people who bought a used 40' RV when their home was foreclosed. It's a family of 4 that lives comfortably, and they have a lease agreement with the RV park they're at which makes their RV payment + Spot Rental less than renting a studio in the same part of town. Not a bad deal, considering they get to own something for less than the price of renting, and it had already passed its' major depreciation point. (Plus they can always just move somewhere else if their careers require it, no fussing with flights and shipping like most people...) They do like to travel now and again, and since they live in it, their home goes with them whenever they vacation...
This is what my old lady and I want to do. Why get pinned to a fixed location. Even if work stays stable for a long time, if we ever want to take a vacation or go see family that live a long ways away we don't have to sacrifice our comfort or personal space to visit. You can take a vacation without really having to pack, just grab some groceries and fuel :D Don't like your neighbors, sick of where you're at...move. It wouldn't be something everybody could handle but, I think we could. We move to a new apt we have zero equity in every year anyway, I have been moving all my life with the military career of my father and myself. I think it could be great.
Well, it kinda sounds interesting, but despite all the "luxury" in that thing I can´t help but think that it would feel like you´re camping your whole life ... think about it, you just have limited space, a family of 4 would have to make some compromises, so no separate rooms and not much privacy etc. and you have to clean out the tank of your toilet every couple days ... I can understand it´s cheaper than renting and who´s in on it can certainly do it but you can´t really compare it IMO ...
Iboo30 I completely agree. The idea is very romantic but when reality sets in its not the most ideal living situation.. home would never really feel like home. Plus cleaning a septic tank would fucking suck, I like being able to just flush and forget. That more than anything is why I wouldn't live in an rv
Iboo30 That's an awfully suburban way to look at it, there are actually still nomadic cultures that exist today and I assure you that you'd take the RV over a yurt any day of the week. It's certainly not for everybody though.
Justin Noker some fl custom chassis had superduty headlights. These rvs were a mash of a bunch of crap. And let me tell you, doing an a/c compressor sucks. I worked for a freightliner dealer.
Hey Mr Regular! A shout out to your right hand man in riding next to you. He is patient, relaxed, has a good sense if humour and seemingly no qualms whatsoever about you driving his home. Many people are easily nervous or watchful the moment other people touch their property. It's understandable I guess, but it makes me respect somone so who is a little more detached from it. Also, he was considerate and understanding, telling things you need to know and letting you know that he'd stop talking if you needed to consentrate. I think I would like a person like him next to me the first time I'd drive a so called 40ft RV. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to relax or stop worrying about keeping it out of danger.
these guys look like they stink im surprised he didn't gag in the video. They look like they barely shower with that greasy ass fake leather jacket. look like complete weirdo and loser. probably got an rv cause he's an outcast of society begging to park in his parents drive way, fuckin loser
@InfiniteMushroom the sort of sentiment that an internet imbecile cooks up in absence of good taste or understanding. Both of those men would detest a moron like you. Kipling would be nicer about it, but he was a soft-hearted artist
Any vehicle can be dangerous. I don't really think the kinds of people who can afford a $300,000 vehicle got to where they are in life with reckless wanton behavior. Trust me at the end of the day more laws and restrictions serve to hinder us more than help.
hendo337 Just b/c you aren't reckless it doesn't mean you're not capable of endangering others due to inexperience. US roads are large enough that ppl are ok for the most part, but it'd an ounce of prevention for a pound of cure to offer, say a day class to practice in a safe environment & certify or something like that. And charge $ for it. If you can afford a $300k RV, you can afford a hundred or so dollars or w/e for a day class.
I absolutely agree with you ... to be able to drive such a huge vehicle here in Europe you need to have a bus or truck license Idk, rv´s aren´t that huge here, the larger ones are more like wagons you put behind your regular car and tow them and even for that you need a separate license, but it´s easier and cheaper as it´s just basically an upgrade to the normal car license ...
Here in Canada you must have air brake endorsement to drive anything with air brakes I was a bit shocked when Mr. Regular took the wheel and the guy casually asked if had ever used air brakes before
v6!? Pansy shit! My grandfather had a 37 foot pace arrow when I was a kid with a v10. 2 MILES TO THE GALLON! WHAT WHAT!! This shit is probably a Prius by comparison!
L6 (straight 6) with 7.7 Liter displacement, those ford V10's are 6.8.... I bet you anything that ford V10 wasn't producing over 800 LBS of torque either.
Evan J An L6 would be a completely different engine. This in likely an I6, or straight as its often called. The straight 6 has perfect balance, Which is very important for diesels since the components are much heavier. The V10 the other guy mentioned was probably a gas engine, Which was very common at one point. But the engines had to be massive to produce only enough horsepower, and they tended to be quite loud and thirsty for fuel. The diesel in this is probably much better on fuel, more powerful and since the engine is rear mounted - much quieter.
Some of those Pontiac wagons had a 400 or larger and would snap your head back when the light turned green... Especially if mom was pissed off. Head rests weren't a thing, back then.
I drive buses at college... This is exactly like what I drive. Air brakes, squaring off turns, even the shift buttons. Really cool to see a video of someone experiencing it for the first time.
I'm a truck driver, of course we can sense you're not one of us, you're in an RV. An RV is definitely not one of us, we're cautious around RVs, they tend to be driven by amateurs. We have to train for a month or more to get a CDL A, yet any idiot can drive a full size RV with air brakes without a special license. You can drive a Civic poorly? Good enough, here's a monster RV. Good luck! PS: you don't need to use your turn signal in the Love's parking lot. PSS: I've been to that Love's many times, now it's special knowing you've been there. PSSS: Our trucks are usually 15 liter inline 6 cyl engines making 500HP and 1700-2200 lbs ft of torque, 7.7 is child's play.
PS, then PPS, then PPPS. Post Script, PostPost Script... etc. Licenses should be restricted by weight of vehicle. Theres more training required to operate a 600 lb motorcycle than a 40,000 lb RV.
Your channel has been the most pleasant distraction from a great many things. Just discovering your older vids now. Excellent, excellent. Your writing is absolutely 10/10.
Rode in one of these monsters once, it was a 2009 and also had a Freightliner chassis. The best way I can describe it is a "70 mph living room." It's absolutely awesome.
It would probably cost more than the vehicle itself to drive it anywhere in Japan, especially the cities. Comparatively the American continents are vast where one could conceivably drive from Fairbanks Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina.
Evan J Eh, there are eccentric people with money everywhere. There ARE busses this size on the roads here, so it's not a size issue. I just did a Google search and they do exist here, I just haven't noticed any. Japan is a very car and road happy place outside of the cities.
psychomelody I suppose what I'm getting at is it's probably, if not certainly more common to see large motorhomes in the US because of the larger landmass with people traveling all over the country for vacation or as a lifestyle.
Love the videos. So cool to see you out in the Berks area in each of the videos. Finally, a small amount of pride to loving out here. Thank you for them. If you ever want to review some focus's (foci?) Or dakota's of various years, they are at your disposal.
Our family use to have a RV on a 24 foot f350 chassis with a v10 and seated 13 people. For a family of 8 with children that spontaneously need to go to the bathroom, this thing was a miracle worker for roadtrips
I really like that you don't try to hide the fact that you're not the best driver ever. Too many car reviewers act like they are the most knowledgeable, most experienced when it comes to anything automotive.
A friend an my rented a 25ft RV a few years ago for a trip through Europe... starting in Bielefeld over Amsterdam, Dunkirk all the way to the Normandy. It was great and chaotic but there are stories from this trip which are EPIC an will make us laugh when we’re to old to remember our names so it was worth it!
Sleeping over, buying a couch, cleaning out the attic, going on a road trip, getting groceries wholesale, attending a classic car meeting, having a tail gate party and doing your own maintenance. Yup, those Pontiac Safari's are true memory makers.
But in a truck cab theres no pooper. No shower. No proper bed, no couch no fridge no space to move around, it doesn't change size with a button... But I guess you can bang in them.
That's how my friend's F-450 is. I had to borrow it a couple times and you had to almost floor it in order to get up to speed. If you pushed it half way to the floor or just a little bit further, it wouldn't shift. The motor would rev up and get close to the redline but it wouldn't shift. He said he wants to put the ZF five speed in it and I said that would be a good idea.
Torque is in lb-ft (pound-feet) ft-lb (foot-pound) is a measurement of energy. They're actually two completely different units that often get confused.
Koop92tc That's kind of like saying that 3 miles is the same as 3 seconds though, they are units for two very different measurements. Sure, people know what you mean but as an engineering student little things like that annoy me :D
In an engineering setting yes. But since both torque and word are measured by multiplying a force by a distance the order of which ft and lbs comes in makes literally no difference for either unit. The order that "ft" and "lbs" are just assigned arbitrarily to differentiate between the two. Much like the sign convention on the direction of heat transfer. Neither one is right or wrong we just chose one so it makes sense to everyone.
Funny review. You can always tell when someone hasn't had to drive a 35 foot long uhaul countless times in their life...big vehicles get a lot easier with practice!
For all the people saying "OMG I CANT BELIEVE YOU DON'T NEED A SPECIAL LICENSE TO DRIVE THAT THING" anybody with a drivers license can drive a semi truck with a 53 FOOT TRAILER BEHIND IT. You are not for hire, its simply recreational. When the truck is for hire that is when you need a CDL. Also anybody can drive a big ass box truck with a standard license for hire as long as the GVWR is under 26,000 lbs.
I know this is a 3 year old comment, but whatever. The reason many commenters say "OMG I CANT BELIEVE YOU DON'T NEED A SPECIAL LICENSE TO DRIVE THAT THING", is because in most other countries, it doesn't matter whether you're driving it for commercial purposes or not here. It doesn't matter if you're for hire or not. The laws where we live specify weight, size and passenger capacity, not "if you're gonna haul shit for a day job".
"It's a car you can poop in" Not sure where I'm going with this, but that's what my mom always loved about RVs. She didn't say it like this, but was above average excited about her independence from campground toilets. I'll always remember this
I am a truck driver. I spend more time behind the wheel with something like this than my car. I am more comfortable behind the wheel of a truck / bus, then a Buick. Wich means exotic supercars are easier to drive but thats a different narrative. I can drift a semi cough cough lol. HOWEVER, as for the license goes. There is a restriction. My license says "valid for any vehicle or combination therof" Wich means I can drive anything. I normal license only states weight. the fuzzy part of it is air brakes, wich these things have. To LEGALLY drive this you technically need a class B license with the air brake endorsement. Since it is not a commercial vehical however.. no one seems to give a damn. So air brakes with a generic license is not legal.. there is not a cop out there that gives two shits about it. So enter the grandma with retirement funds that has never driven anything but her Caprice, behind the wheel of this big bastard.
+w33b3l Growing up in a country with entirely separate license categories for towing anything heavier than 750KG, larger vans, small trucks, large trucks, large trucks towing something, vehicles that carry more than 7 people, small coaches, large coaches and coaches towing things, this idea of "fuck it, a car license is good enough" for something the size of a large coach is totally baffling. I sometimes think you people have too much freedom and democracy.
BritishCommentWriter We actually have very little democracy, thats a facade. Our government is a republic through and through but people deny it. Freedom is kind of our go to though and I cant argue that you can have too much of it, the problem is that a lot of laws we do have that make sense, aren't enforced and when new laws are created they are either ridiculous, dont fix the problem, or make it worse. Ide rather we could do what we want and self govern ourselves personally. Law makers dont know what they are doing in the slightest. Laws are made by rich ass holes that know nothing of real life and only get into politics because they want to feel superior. Big vehicles like tractor trailers, dump trucks, and commercial buses do have a lot of endorsements needed though, you cant drive a tanker or a passenger bus unless you pass the test and get the endorsement. We do that for motorcycles as well but its for ALL motorcycles. Its more about taxation then safety at this point however. Our laws = revenue, and we only make laws we know people will either break so we can fine them, or they make it easier for the rich to get more rich because the rich makes the laws.
I had a class a motorhome when I was a kid and I would always help my dad with the poop Hoses at the dump station and when you guys were opening the hatch I can literally smell it through the phone
You can poop in every car
+Orvar Naari More if you get a really spacious car...
+Barry Anderson ..yeah, right?
You gotta be quick tho..
I literally lost my shit after reading that.
+Snow Bunneh you better go find it then
+appelpower1 your gonna have to buy like 40 packs of those little tree air fresheners to mask the smell tho
"Your blinker is on, grandpa." lol
You name is also Aidan.

Most interesting things on an RV for Mr Regular:
2.) The poop hose.
1.) The toilet.
The Roman pees.
Mr. Regular poops.
Arizona Striker I would like, but it’s at 69 and 69 jokes are funny
Arizona Striker LOL
Mr. Regular would call it *THE BROWN HOSE.*
They're not necessarily the most interesting things, but they are absolutely the most _exciting_ things.
As a trucker I would like to confirm:we can smell you.
Yeah as a Bus Driver, same
As a non-trucker I would like to confirm: we can smell you too.
@@user-gr7em3lm8k nice
What about us (ex) truckers that also drive an RV?
Shitters full
Technically... any car is a car you can poop in.
But it's made so you can poop in it a car is not made not so you can poop
Roger Bomber One, would you prefer to Press or Hang?
Permission to hang.
Rainhill1829 but not a car you should poop in.
Haha! I was gonna make the same comment. Touché!
"Ok I pressed the D"
"You need to turn it on first"
first turn key on press start button or whatever u have then figure it out from there lmfao
It's a bit refreshing to see Mr. Regular in a situation where he's not totally comfortable or knowledgeable. It makes the whole idea and aim of his work that much more accessible. It was almost a humble review in the way that Mr. Regular was basically riding shotgun while the owner did all the explaining. This is why I watch this channel and this is why Regular Car Reviews is for the people.
As a truck driver it was painful yet entertaining to watch you drive this "car". lol
Still not as bad as some clippers
I'd like to see him tackle an old triple stick transmission
delbomb3131 in time, in time.
Very painful and you can get in and just turn the key we have straight trucks that are on the same chassis
It's 4am and I'm watching a 16 minute video of a 2004 RV what am I doing with my life.
It's not just an RV...it's a CAR YOU CAN POOP IN!
But I can poop on any car, not sure why I would though.
Relatable.
Living It!
Great things
You driving this reminding me of my first time driving our RV. And ours is only 32ft! And your Cowboy Bebop reference at the end...A new sub here.
hey man reminding you to shower, rv mfs always smell like complete shit. Use deodorant too.
Idk why it took me 7 years to notice your comment the 20th time rewatching this but you sir are a true man of culture
I know some people who bought a used 40' RV when their home was foreclosed. It's a family of 4 that lives comfortably, and they have a lease agreement with the RV park they're at which makes their RV payment + Spot Rental less than renting a studio in the same part of town. Not a bad deal, considering they get to own something for less than the price of renting, and it had already passed its' major depreciation point. (Plus they can always just move somewhere else if their careers require it, no fussing with flights and shipping like most people...)
They do like to travel now and again, and since they live in it, their home goes with them whenever they vacation...
This is what my old lady and I want to do. Why get pinned to a fixed location. Even if work stays stable for a long time, if we ever want to take a vacation or go see family that live a long ways away we don't have to sacrifice our comfort or personal space to visit. You can take a vacation without really having to pack, just grab some groceries and fuel :D Don't like your neighbors, sick of where you're at...move. It wouldn't be something everybody could handle but, I think we could. We move to a new apt we have zero equity in every year anyway, I have been moving all my life with the military career of my father and myself. I think it could be great.
Well, it kinda sounds interesting, but despite all the "luxury" in that thing I can´t help but think that it would feel like you´re camping your whole life ... think about it, you just have limited space, a family of 4 would have to make some compromises, so no separate rooms and not much privacy etc. and you have to clean out the tank of your toilet every couple days ...

That's an awfully suburban way to look at it, there are actually still nomadic cultures that exist today and I assure you that you'd take the RV over a yurt any day of the week. It's certainly not for everybody though.
6 seconds in and I’ve already hit the like button haha
like first - watch afterwards :D
69th like......you're welcome.
is it just me, or are most RVs and campers painted up like a paper dixie cup? At least this one was painted BROWWWN.
Yeah my rv is also brown
It is not just you
Anybody else notice the Chevy Silverado Headlights and the Ford Econoline Tail lights?
immediately noticed the headlights.
Justin Noker some fl custom chassis had superduty headlights. These rvs were a mash of a bunch of crap. And let me tell you, doing an a/c compressor sucks. I worked for a freightliner dealer.
2002 Silverado headlights... erch. I am not a fan of that year's front end.
I instantly noticed i thought i was the only one. tahoe/99-02 silverado headlights are definitely unique
Daniel Pinel I always thought the 99-02 Silverado’s were much more handsome than the 03-07’s.

Some of those Pontiac wagons had a 400 or larger and would snap your head back when the light turned green... Especially if mom was pissed off. Head rests weren't a thing, back then.
So you're telling me the engine on this is STILL smaller than a Dodge Viper?
In terms of displacement, yes.
In terms of actual size, no. This things engine is a behemoth. It has to be to handle all that boost pressure.
barely smaller, on half the cylinders, yes.
But the Nm of tourqe will run a WWII tank and then some!
@@ChaotiX1 it probably weighs as much as a viper. They're usually cat c10 diesels.
Not really

Miika Ruokonen Yea there was a little bit I think
angedgangsta Then the guy falls down the hill or something and "parks" the RV perfectly so his family didnt notice anything?
Miika Ruokonen Yea yea :D that was good
That "Interloper's inner-monologue" had me in tears, I was laughing so much.
Loving it, keep up the awesome channel RC's! I am only becoming a bigger fan as you release more videos. Please don't stop I need this.
Mr. Regular is now my most favorite TH-camr; Nintendo Power references (LS400 review), Cowboy Bebop references, and some great humor!!
"It's bigger than student debt!"
I laughed so hard.
All of your references hit me where I live. Also, how does one take a thrice?
This was actually a really fun video to watch. Regular does so many random vehicles, you never know what will come next.
I love the Legends of the Hidden Temple reference. One of my favorite Nickelodeon shows x3
"This RV is the final boss of family vacation."
Brilliant!
You're a beautiful man making Cowboy Bebop references like that...
"TH*UUUUU*IS is a car you can POOP in, Morty! You gotta believe me, Morty! It's a car you can *UUUUU* poop in, Morty!"
I absolutely lost it at the DirecTV joke. "If I wanna ignore the wife and watch the game then ROLL TIIIDE!"
As a truck driver this is surreal, especially seeing someone from my company backing in while Mr. Regular learns to large vehicle.
It's 6:40 PM here in Japan. I just realized that I think I have yet to see one of those here too.
10:22 p.m. in Korea. Happy Lunar New Years!
where da cunts in afghanistan?
It would probably cost more than the vehicle itself to drive it anywhere in Japan, especially the cities. Comparatively the American continents are vast where one could conceivably drive from Fairbanks Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina.
Evan J Eh, there are eccentric people with money everywhere. There ARE busses this size on the roads here, so it's not a size issue. I just did a Google search and they do exist here, I just haven't noticed any. Japan is a very car and road happy place outside of the cities.
psychomelody I suppose what I'm getting at is it's probably, if not certainly more common to see large motorhomes in the US because of the larger landmass with people traveling all over the country for vacation or as a lifestyle.
Love the videos. So cool to see you out in the Berks area in each of the videos. Finally, a small amount of pride to loving out here. Thank you for them. If you ever want to review some focus's (foci?) Or dakota's of various years, they are at your disposal.
I love how he becomes a giddy 2nd grader when talking about the poop hose.
You keep the RV ,, I'll take the Pontiac wagon that was behind you at around 13:57 ....
+Brian Tracy 13:37
You can see Mr. Regular's face in the reflection from the RV at 6:14 ...
So.. uh... nice mustache.
I saw that and was like "THEY LEFT IN A REFLECTION! ...meh"
Glasses lol its like where's waldo game when I was younger
Our family use to have a RV on a 24 foot f350 chassis with a v10 and seated 13 people. For a family of 8 with children that spontaneously need to go to the bathroom, this thing was a miracle worker for roadtrips
"Road Deuce" - that was my nickname back when I was hitch-hiking around the US.
That Cowboy Bebop reference made my day lol. Awesome video as always!!
As a car guy I'm actually surprised you never mentioned the Chevy truck head lights/park lights, and the Ford Econoline tail lights.
This is seriously my favorite channel I've subscribed to in a long time
This is why I love your channel.
I really like that you don't try to hide the fact that you're not the best driver ever. Too many car reviewers act like they are the most knowledgeable, most experienced when it comes to anything automotive.
you sprinkle anime references in your videos like rare spices and I *LOVE IT*
A friend an my rented a 25ft RV a few years ago for a trip through Europe... starting in Bielefeld over Amsterdam, Dunkirk all the way to the Normandy.
It was great and chaotic but there are stories from this trip which are EPIC an will make us laugh when we’re to old to remember our names so it was worth it!
liked for cowboy bebop reference
+NNJAx OK me too.
+corvusala me hot thrice
Because weeaboos
1blackdeath51501 K, weeb.
Sleeping over, buying a couch, cleaning out the attic, going on a road trip, getting groceries wholesale, attending a classic car meeting, having a tail gate party and doing your own maintenance.
Yup, those Pontiac Safari's are true memory makers.
"Its bigger than student debt" hahaha! I'm dying!
No really, I'm drowning in debt, help!
I can always count on you to throw in an awesome reference to a game or anime. Nice dude.
You had me at. "Its a car you can poop in! its a car you can poop in! its a car you can poop in!"
13:39 loving that vintage Pontiac wagon
See you later Road Cowboy....
What the tank size on those?
100 gallons
An RV review with a Legends of the Hidden Temple and Cowboy Bebop reference. That's why I keep coming back. Great review.
And a trucker is like: "ohhh a 40' RV that's cute.
But in a truck cab theres no pooper. No shower. No proper bed, no couch no fridge no space to move around, it doesn't change size with a button... But I guess you can bang in them.
+Chris Goodall some of them actually have cabs for a bed shower and toilet
Chris Goodall You can poop in anything if you try hard enough
@@theevilmeister or its -20 out at 2 am and the truck stop is closed
@@dynamo1796 Actually, most trucks do have proper beds and fridges. Hell, a lot of trucks have bunk beds
That's how my friend's F-450 is. I had to borrow it a couple times and you had to almost floor it in order to get up to speed. If you pushed it half way to the floor or just a little bit further, it wouldn't shift. The motor would rev up and get close to the redline but it wouldn't shift. He said he wants to put the ZF five speed in it and I said that would be a good idea.
7:21 real fart?
Probably.
5:35 is real fart too.
Siim Treiman sounded more like a shart to me
So happy we got to hear that exhaust system!!
It's a car you can poop in! If that's not a selling point, I don't know what is.
"I feel like I'm sitting inside Jhon Goodman" I lost it at that one LOL!!!
Oh wow......look at all the RV videos that are in my suggested feed now....
I've never actually been inside an RV of this style, or one that's newer than 1990 for that matter. this is a nice virtual tour
Torque is in lb-ft (pound-feet)
ft-lb (foot-pound) is a measurement of energy.
They're actually two completely different units that often get confused.
I really don't think it matters in casual conversation especially when you verbally signify what you are talking about. (3 ft)(2 lbs) = (2 lbs)(3 ft)
Koop92tc That's kind of like saying that 3 miles is the same as 3 seconds though, they are units for two very different measurements.
Sure, people know what you mean but as an engineering student little things like that annoy me :D
In an engineering setting yes. But since both torque and word are measured by multiplying a force by a distance the order of which ft and lbs comes in makes literally no difference for either unit. The order that "ft" and "lbs" are just assigned arbitrarily to differentiate between the two. Much like the sign convention on the direction of heat transfer. Neither one is right or wrong we just chose one so it makes sense to everyone.
I got to drive my grandparents 1995 Fleetwood Pace Arrow when I was 18 before it was sold. It is still one of the coolest memories I have
Was that the Cabelas in Hamburg, PA?
Best outro ever... even better if you heard it while you resting on your RV
Any car is a car you can poop in, if you don't care about the car.
Or if you REALLY care about the car.
Alternatively, one could poop on said car.
Funny review. You can always tell when someone hasn't had to drive a 35 foot long uhaul countless times in their life...big vehicles get a lot easier with practice!
For all the people saying "OMG I CANT BELIEVE YOU DON'T NEED A SPECIAL LICENSE TO DRIVE THAT THING" anybody with a drivers license can drive a semi truck with a 53 FOOT TRAILER BEHIND IT. You are not for hire, its simply recreational. When the truck is for hire that is when you need a CDL. Also anybody can drive a big ass box truck with a standard license for hire as long as the GVWR is under 26,000 lbs.
I know this is a 3 year old comment, but whatever.
The reason many commenters say "OMG I CANT BELIEVE YOU DON'T NEED A SPECIAL LICENSE TO DRIVE THAT THING", is because in most other countries, it doesn't matter whether you're driving it for commercial purposes or not here. It doesn't matter if you're for hire or not. The laws where we live specify weight, size and passenger capacity, not "if you're gonna haul shit for a day job".
Awesome cover or free. Y'all are somethin' else.
5:36 Violent fart?
7:21 Part deux?
Part deuce.
well, he did say it was a car you can poop in...
Alex Henderson unfortunately there was no part thrice
Caterpillar engine on a Freightliner chassis, with a motor home body. Sounds about perfect.
0:48 - We gotta cook, Jesse.
Legends of the hidden temple AND cowboy beebop references! HAHA! keep it up RCR!
“It smells like grandma!”
That exhaust note is gorgeous
Cat c7 powered
are you going to review the Safari wagon that was following you, bc that would be sweet
"It's a car you can poop in"
Not sure where I'm going with this, but that's what my mom always loved about RVs. She didn't say it like this, but was above average excited about her independence from campground toilets. I'll always remember this
I am a truck driver. I spend more time behind the wheel with something like this than my car. I am more comfortable behind the wheel of a truck / bus, then a Buick. Wich means exotic supercars are easier to drive but thats a different narrative. I can drift a semi cough cough lol. HOWEVER, as for the license goes. There is a restriction. My license says "valid for any vehicle or combination therof" Wich means I can drive anything. I normal license only states weight. the fuzzy part of it is air brakes, wich these things have. To LEGALLY drive this you technically need a class B license with the air brake endorsement. Since it is not a commercial vehical however.. no one seems to give a damn. So air brakes with a generic license is not legal.. there is not a cop out there that gives two shits about it. So enter the grandma with retirement funds that has never driven anything but her Caprice, behind the wheel of this big bastard.
+w33b3l Growing up in a country with entirely separate license categories for towing anything heavier than 750KG, larger vans, small trucks, large trucks, large trucks towing something, vehicles that carry more than 7 people, small coaches, large coaches and coaches towing things, this idea of "fuck it, a car license is good enough" for something the size of a large coach is totally baffling. I sometimes think you people have too much freedom and democracy.
BritishCommentWriter
We actually have very little democracy, thats a facade. Our government is a republic through and through but people deny it. Freedom is kind of our go to though and I cant argue that you can have too much of it, the problem is that a lot of laws we do have that make sense, aren't enforced and when new laws are created they are either ridiculous, dont fix the problem, or make it worse. Ide rather we could do what we want and self govern ourselves personally. Law makers dont know what they are doing in the slightest. Laws are made by rich ass holes that know nothing of real life and only get into politics because they want to feel superior.
Big vehicles like tractor trailers, dump trucks, and commercial buses do have a lot of endorsements needed though, you cant drive a tanker or a passenger bus unless you pass the test and get the endorsement. We do that for motorcycles as well but its for ALL motorcycles. Its more about taxation then safety at this point however. Our laws = revenue, and we only make laws we know people will either break so we can fine them, or they make it easier for the rich to get more rich because the rich makes the laws.
w33b3l very well said. you're awesome.
@@BritishCommentWriter 'Merica! Fuck, yeah!
I had a class a motorhome when I was a kid and I would always help my dad with the poop Hoses at the dump station and when you guys were opening the hatch I can literally smell it through the phone
