- ☞ 👀 #RVLife has many ups and downs but after a year of planning and building our new #Spacecraft the day has come to actually drive it for a test ride. What an incredible journey and we are so blessed to be able to experience this first day with so many of you who follow our RV Life journey. We look forward to seeing many of you on the road as we head out for a new season to see this amazing Country.

Hello Todd! This is Robin and Paul. We met you in The Food Lion parking lot this afternoon in Nags Head and gushed over your fabulous rig prior to directing you out of the parking lot. We hope that all worked out well and you reunited with Sheila for a stellar OBX camping experience. This is our home and we are so proud of our golden strand. We embrace our visitors with much love and we’re happy to guide you to get the most from your visit! We’ll be following you in You Tube and sharing your adventures with others! 🩷🩷
Thank you so much. You don't know how much you helped my little situation. Really appreciated your timing.
She's a beaut! I love this! Congrats Todd and Sheila. Looking forward to seeing it in person one of these days.
When hooking up dump the air bags back under the trailer don’t hook up raise the air bags it will lift the trailer because you don’t have to be perfectly lined up it takes the stress off of the dolly’s. Reverse the process when unhooking dump the air bags so the truck would pop up while you come out from under the trailer.
Hi Tony, Just curious, being you drove these big rigs, did u ever consider going this big for an RV too? (Like before u got your 5thwheel). 🍻
@@SpykersB No ; I really didn’t want to be even more restricted than we are now. We have a 2022 Riverstone 42 fskg it is 45 feet long and a 2022 F-450 . Having a HDT is not as cheap as many in the HDT community wants you to believe safety is only as good as the operator also you have to have a second vehicle to get around and the extra length of the HDT just makes no sense to us. I enjoyed the jobs I did when I drove them just didn’t want to drive them for pleasure.
@@TonyBenton0728 ok thx 👍 🍻
@@SpykersB I think this is a "to each his / her own". Each person has decide this & many other things for themselves. For someone who doesn't want to, that's what's right for them. If you want to check out someone who's been doing this with similar equipment, check out Big Truck Big Travels channel. I believe Sonya & David have a 2016 Volvo with a 40' Spacecraft. I forget the year of the trailer, I think it's a 2018. They've been full timing quite a while.
Problem with dropping bags, if your not careful and the trailer is higher than the fifth wheel you over shoot now you have bigger problems. If you don’t know what your doing don’t drop the bags
It must be exciting to be “newbies “ again! Good luck in everything, and be safe!
Nice job. I've got mad respect for you driving something that big.
So exciting! I was stressed to the max as you were pulling out on the road! Like any new RV, in no time you will get more and more comfortable! Not sure if you use iPhones, if so you can create a shared checklist - as you check items off the list it is immediately shared between the two of you. Comes in very handy - we still use one! Looking forward to you both in SC!
She's a beaut Clark!( I mean Todd) That paint job turned out sublime! lol I'm surprised you didn't put a cam inside the rig to see how stuff moves while in motion.
Maybe a Go-Pro on the next longer pull.
One lucky Penny.....maybe the coop needs to be "Penny". Mack & Penny. I feel like a proud Nanna ~ safe travels & happy trails !
Good luck you two....we are with you in spirit. Stay safe...
Let the fun begin, just remember take your time, slow and easy, you have a lot of rig there. Looking forward to next month.
One thing to remember when turning take as much room as you have if you need it or not. Also when going down hill you can do it a million times to slow, but only once to fast.
Very well stated! After driving big rigs for 10 years, getting use to 'slow' on steep mountainous downgrades, is different than with a pickup truck, as the weight pushing you in this rig will be much greater. Slow and easy gets you to your next destination!
Love the rig, Todd you are now on your path to being a big trucker!
Get your Spacecraft tips from David and Sondra!
NOW THATS A HOME ON WHEELS ! LOOKS GREAT ! I hopr it as great as your last beginner home.
GOOD LUCK ENJOY TAKE CARE STAY WELL to ALL
😮 huge !!! Best of luck !!! God bless !!!
Wow!! Definitely gives a new meaning of go big or go home!! Absolutely beautiful rig! You guys must be so proud.
I totally appreciate your transparency with your new home on wheels and your honesty of what its like to drive it all the 1st time! 1 year from now you will look back on this video like you do the others and say man, we have come along way!! Blessings to both of you on your new adventures...
Oh my gosh!!!! So exciting!! I may have been more nervous than you!! Can you believe this day finally came? Rocky and I are so happy for you!
Congratulations on your new build,glad you didn't have to many problems on your first run.Happy motoring 🎉
Glad I found you two, looks like a real interesting channel. Happy travels.
Welcome aboard! We are glad you are here!! We are Todd and Sheila - nice to meet you well in a digital kind of way
The paint job looks sick!!!! So cool, can’t wait to see it done in person 🎉
OMG!! Hearing that brake release and seeing it move!!! ❤️❤️ Tears of joy!
Us too girl!!
Thank you both for sharing your adventures with us. You got this!
Good job first test. Enjoy!
It's great to see you made it on the road again...❤❤❤😊
That license plate is going to cut into your airlines you need to arrange it so its not sitting on the lines while hooked up.
Neil & I wish you the best of safe travels!!!❤
Really enjoy you guys. Can’t wait for more to come.
Holy Moley! Congratulations on driving an hour and not losing any glasses. Todd, more power to ya. I didn't like the sound of the one slide either......
Absolutely stunning ! Well done on exterior and interior. Love the heavy axles and wheels.
Love your new rig, look forward to seeing how you adjust to campgrounds.
unfortunately you guys are absolutely clueless good luck guys
Great video! Nice to see it all out of production and into reality! Good luck 🍀!
You’re doing it! Safe travels!
We were faced with the same dilemma 8 years ago when we first started fulltiming. We developed a work-around with our macerator toilet and can now go several weeks without a need to dump it. Our black tank capacity is 50 gallons. Enjoy the experience. See ya!
Well let’s chat!! Maybe in SC?
@@SwitchItUpLife 😆 We'll be there.
The rig is incredible. Just check and recheck everything you do with so many things to relearn You guys look exhausted. Be safe out there.
It’s so beautiful! So much to learn & remember. You both did great. I think everyone watching was on pins & needles too. So thrilled for you to be on the road again ❤
You might want to find that air leak. Every time I saw you start that truck you had to wait for the air to build. That’s not normal unless the truck has been sitting a long time in between start up, like days….
You don’t want to be driving that rig if the air leak decides to completely let go. I’m sure you know the brakes will lockup on you.
Good luck with the new setup.
Great video! Glad you are ready to travel again! Enjoy!😊
You leave me speechless😮
So exciting to finally see y’all hitting the road in the new rig! 🚛
Love the raw video! Great job you two! 🙌🏻
The new F350s have really grown !!
Congratulations on finally moving in and moving on to the next journey 💚💚💚
Wow! Such a beautiful rig and trailer! The paint job is gorgeous! This was a great video.
Good luck guys! Nice to see it painted!
Thanks 👍
Don't forget to open the propane tanks tonight .. 😂
Congratulations on the new rig
I love it when new adventures start ❤
Congrats Todd and Sheila!!! Looking forward to seeing it in So. Carolina!!
I would hope your making a written checklist for things to do and check so no damage happens when your getting ready to go. Yeah WoW! I’ll pray for travel protection, revenue to support, awareness and effective learning. God is taking care of you.
Okay it looks so much more homey now than in Tampa for sure. The whole setup is BEAUTIFUL!
For the air lines connecting under the license plate, I’m not sure how much friction is there, but they have glad hand “handles” that will protect the airlines right there and strengthen it if needed? This whole setup is just wild and awesome. Good work and congratulations.
Thanks for the tips!
Super proud of you guys
HDT, “Faith”
StarCraft, “Abundance”
“Faith & Abundance”
I’m not solid on a Truck named Faith, but Abundance for the trailer… chefs kiss! God provides abundance so that his children can do his good work. 😉
love it, but find it funny i had to go to school and have a special license to drive something that big and you dont, kinda scary but hope you enjoy it
Practice makes perfect you got this Todd
God bless you!
So cool. Can’t wait to see it in person.
What an ordeal for setting up and breaking down. I’m sure it will get easier with practice. Makes my little set up seem so very simple. So happy for you both. Best of luck and safe travels. Looking forward to seeing the new paint job at the South Carolina huddle.
It’s all coming together fam…we are so happy for you!!🧡🧡🧡
Love you channel and excited for you with your new rig.
Love the paint job!
Talk about a humbling and intimidating first drive. I saw how low that trailer is and at 77’ you will need to watch some of those truck stops. Just completed a 1800 mile trip with my 65’ and robbed the back of the car hauler trailer twice entering and/or exiting truck stop entrances.
Rubbed? 😂 🍻
Yup, “rubbed”! That’s what I get for trying to type on a tiny phone. 😂
@@clay3580 i like the robbing yourself blind idea 😂👍🍻
Apart from looking like a wet lettuce CONGRATULATIONS ! you made it. It might be a good idea for a internal and external check lists for each of you then you can check each other also purchase some walkie talkie s (hands free style) so you can send out instructions reversing into tight spots it might save frazzled nerves and vocal cords, only thing i spotted incorrect was zero reg plate on the rear of the trailor which will be a police attraction. After over 35 years winding up landing legs , seeing yours go up on the press of a button was shear envy we just dont have those in the UK . Good luck safe driving and stay away from the soft stuff.
For the most part, commercial rigs require cranking up the legs by hand. I've been doing over 30 years.
Fantastic!
Looking great guys. So happy for you. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much!!
I'm happy to see you are in your new home
Holy minimal ground clearance Batman! Looks like a blast to drive.
That's a big rig y'all have there! Have fun learning new things!!
I recommend you look at how luxury yachts store glassware and plates, they are in constant motion and every wave could be considered a bump. So watch a few videos like aquaholic to look at how glassware is stored.
I pulled modular and double was for almost 30 years for a living. If I've got one word of advice on the open road is to not keep looking left and right out your mirrors, you have a tendency to move that way when you look that way. You wanna look, but just don't do it every 5 seconds. Trust your Instincts. I bet you look beautiful going down the road. Happy for you to.
Honestly need to train that out of you.
WOW! NICE RIG! CONGRATS!
I don't know much about the camping world, but from what I hear it's always something. You two seemed to Quadruple that principle. In the spirit of simplifying life, what in the world possessed you to go so big? Maybe some earlier videos will explain it. i'm not hooked yet, your stress makes me stressed. Godspeed.
Because it's their home and this is more of the drive to a location and stay for a month RV rather than moving on every few days.
Congrats on your first outing! Wow, that's alot of slides!
Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
That Rig is BEAUTIFUL
Well done! Thanks for sharing! 😘🖖🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
You did great pulling it! Better you than me! Happy for you guys!
If you run your idle up a little higher the beeping sound will go away sooner. That is what great look rig!
Congratulations and Safe Travels ❤️ C4YT.. and always, for Matt 😘
Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Make a check list , when ready to pull out switch, you check hers [ inside ] and she checks yours [ outside ] works good for me and the wife, Happy Trails
Thanks for bringing us along on the 1st I pack-up, pull and check over. Great ending to the Revolution video's.
Congratulations on your first tow. 🥳🥳🥳 I also just subscribed. Can't wait to see your next video.
Thanks for subbing!
That truck is beautiful! Rv is just as beautiful, but it’s huge we went through it in Tampa congratulations to you both!
Thanks so much!
Maybe baby safety locks will work for a few of your upper cabinet pulls. Another thing, when your at a truck stop go ask a household mover truck driver if he can give you a rubber bungee they use for wrapping furniture pads. That would work perfectly for the dining room chairs. Just wrap it around all 4 of the chair back rests.
I was curious if a camera at the top back facing forward would be a good idea for viewing low branches that you can view from the cab.
Looks good guys, a few of my friends and I are placing bets on time frame on how long its gonna take Todd to was the trailer. I've got 4 hrs. No cheating Todd, by using the truck wash companies. (Trailer only)
Always always ALWAYS do a tug test. It can literally be hooked up and appear to be latched fine and your fifth wheel just randomly fails. A tug test before raising the landing gear ensures that if it failed, your trailer stays up like it’s supposed to.
Thank you so much.. we were of cautious so we did 2..lol... unfortunately I edited it down and didn't show them. Truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thank you for watching it means a lot to us.
I know this is a good !! ALWAYS !! FIRST HAND.
Very cool
Im really impressed by your rig and the interior is amazing.
Thank you
Congratulations on the gorgeous rig, me jealous. Out of all the videos I've watched about this rig, I have yet to hear anybody mention the special permits that are needed in different states just to drive that rig on their roads. Each state is different.
Congratulations!! I wanted to see the leveling process:)
Always do a hitch up lock check before removing it completely from the ground by breaking your fifth wheel and slowly pulling forward.
omg another on the road
Awesome! Safe travels and remember Buccee's is no longer your friend.
Crazy .... LOL...Thats all I can say!
That little kid you collabed with lol...I saw that and had to hit that sub button. Much luck to yall
Amazing looking rig, but a bit low in the back. Safe travels you two!
Beautiful rig, good luck! C4YT
Great going. Looking forward to meeting up with you guys "sometime, some place" John
If I saw that, I wouldn’t think somebody was camping I would think a celebrity must be in town for a concert 😎
Nope just silly us...lol
Congrats on your new purchase! Please film the look on the face of the KOA manager when you pull in and ask for six spots all in a row.. lol :)
I was following and chatting with the HDT community when Paul (?) of Spacecraft passed away. Good to see they're still doing well. People have no idea how nice their product is.
Is "Phoenix" still around? His Smart car lift and air ride hitch were works of art.
