    Sleeping in your RV at a rest area is STILL something I DO NOT recommend. I hope you enjoy watching us get out of nature and attempting a night at an extremely noisy rest area!
    Do you have any tips on rv dumps, IOverlander, refilling propane or rest areas? Leave a comment!

      We spend about 8 or 9 months a year in our class A, five of which are in Arizona. When traveling we use a free app called RVParky, which sounds a lot like the one you're using with campgrounds, Wal Marts, Cracker Barrels, rest areas and anywhere you could possibly imagine overnighting. There are reviews and directions included. We have found some really nice rest areas. I usually try to find ones that have separate areas for rvs and semi trucks. I also try to find ones where you can park along a curb and don't have to have someone on either side of you. There are more of those than you might think.

    The noise you hear is the Air Dryer of the trucks air brake system it blows the condenasion out of the air brakes system. You do not want water in air lines freezing blocking the air lines. No air no brakes. Retired Truck Driver here.

    I stay in rest areas occasionally and don't mind the sound.They are safe due to the presence of others.My preference is casino lots or state welcome centers for quick overnighters en route to your destination.

    You could have taken U.S. Hwy 93 south from Twin Falls. Lots of Washington, Montana, Idaho, and Canadian snowbirds take it to get to Arizona. There are long empty stretches but it is not the "Loneliest Highway". That is U. S. Hwy 50 that goes east to west across central Nevada, from Ely to Carson City.
    The free dump station was built with a State Parks and Rec grant. Glad to know you appreciated it!

    My argument against that is a lot of us don't have money or time to know the spots where to go and tike to "explore"! Most of us are surviving on a budget and are lucky to make it "out there" in the first place.
    I understand the other side of that argument as well, as we don't want public lands trashed or over run.
    IMO, there are enough books and other app like resources to find places to go.

    Glad to hear nothing cracked after the freeze. The truck noise is from the air tank for the air brakes. The compressor runs and fills up the tank then it allows the excess to vent. You get used to it after a while when you have to live in the truck. Glad to see you and the boys heading south. Let warmer weather prevail! Travel safe and stay warm. Happy Thanksgiving! Hopefully you will be off the road before the holiday travelers get out there.

    • @GotOut

    I love watching your mistakes and seeing that you at least admit to them. Like saying your water was froze up but you neglected to tell us that you didn't plug them in until it was becoming daylight if I heard that right. Well of course they were frozen they were already Frozen when you plug them in. But just little things like that I've seen you do that is kind of comical even though I know it wasn't comical at the time it's very serious when you think something's about to break or something has broke and it's going to be expensive to fix but it's always nice when you know that it had a good outcome. Thank you for your great videos, mistakes and all.

    I’ve stopped at rest areas several times while traveling to catch a few hours sleep with my seat back. It’s convenient to have a restroom so close when you wake. I’m not sure I would want to crawl into the back of my 4Runner and stay an entire night. I wasn’t even sure they allowed large rigs to spend the night.

  • @randomspirit
    @randomspirit 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I always chuckle when you talk about the pressure releasing from the tanks because it reminds me what it's like when you're NOT accustomed to it. LOL I got so used to it that I could lay my head on the steering wheel and take a nap while parked in the middle of 32 idling trucks...with my windows open. The rumbling of those big diesel engines was like a lullaby to me, and the valves opening didn't even register in my mind anymore. LOL!
    What was the wind speed/direction the night the water froze vs. the night it didn't freeze?

    Wow! That driver in the car that almost caused an accident, must have been really tired. That's something I've noticed about rest stops, especially at night & early mornings. Drivers are often exhausted! delirious! & probably have to 'wee' so bad they can't think straight. It can be dangerous. I've slept in truck stops before. Being in a car though, I parked close to the restaurant area to be out of the way of big rigs. Safe & Happy Travels out there. I'm hoping by now, You guys are off the busy holiday roads enjoying wherever You are.

    I drove over the road in a Sprinter Van, Truck stops are a good place to park for the night even with a trailer, just don't get out a grill and chairs with you're awning out. They don't always have the room. Many truck stops will have RV/truck parking spots. Some people will park there in their or large box truck just to run in and get a drink and some will just park and sleep there for the night they don't seem to care. Just don't park right in front of store.

  • @Robert-hd4ld
    @Robert-hd4ld 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    The trucks have to follow a strict time schedule along with federal mandated sleep times. So always make sure you are curious and do not fill trucks parking areas with rvs. Remember, trucks bring your groceries and other products that you can not live without, unless your totally off grid living off the land. Be nice to truck drivers, yeah I know there are a s s holes in the trucking industry, but most are nice people. By law they must get off duty sleep time. The air noise you here is a combination of air dryers and the trucks air compressed kicking off after they fill their air tanks. Just like you hear in a shop with air compressors for their air tools they use. Used to drive for a living. Sry for the typos, it's the stupid auto correct/fill on my phone.

    The compressor for the air brakes is driven off the engine. It pumps continuous. A pressure regulator valve blows off. Excessive pressure when it is created. Scares the shit out of me every time.

  • @paulflora1996
    @paulflora1996 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I want to say it's a opossum skull, however without seeing it better I don't know. My very first thought was K9 such as a coyote. Also have you tried driving through the night when traffic is light. And sleeping at the rest areas in the daytime when the rest areas aren't as busy, or at least not as many people staying over. I used to do that when driving horses across country. Id drive till like 10am then eat and go to sleep till I woke up usually around 5 and by the time I would eat and go again i would miss the rush hour traffic an travel through the night stopping to rest as needed. But it worked out great. But honestly I got good at sleeping 2 to 4 hours at a time and going on I always had to keep aware of the horses and nothing scaring them and not wanting to leave them in the trailer to long. And I've spent many nights at many truck stops in an F350 with a gooseneck trailer loaded with horses, also slept in the day like I said before. I've always looked at it as im a customer and I'm driving and I need a rest. I parked next to the semis or over in the rv parking or in the car parking taking 2 spots. And if an attendant said anything I'd tell them I couldn't park next to the semis because the air brakes were spooking a horse. Sometimes it was the case especially with young horses. And we would try to convert our back to stalls whenever possible

Firstly, raising your hood is a sign of distress, and you could potentially attrack the 'wrong' kind of help, thinking you are defenseless. Secondly, your truck is black, so the sun on the hood is acutally much hotter acting like an oven to heat your engine. Just saying bro...
