  • We have a lot of miles to complete our RV Fleet Shuffle and not many days to do it since we want to get to the HDT National Rally in Hutchinson, KS to see everyone. We also have to transfer and move everything in our Class C into our Big Rig fifth wheel trailer. Let's get to it.
    The weather is on our side but it's been a long road to travel from the Arctic. It will take us several days to get to Missouri where we will begin to make the switch.
    We find a really nice campsite for $10 with 30 amp hook up which is pretty sweet.
    Not quite as scenic as Alaska but the farmlands are really nice and open. Paved roads are very nice. We pass by Route 66 which we will return to in the future.
    Our RV is a Thor Magnitude so we hope it survives but the views are magnificent, awesome and stunning so the trip is a once in a lifetime event.

    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 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.

    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:
    Gotreads.com
    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

    "PONY EXPRESS" We stayed here 2 years ago and plan on going back in June on my way out to the 2024 West Coast HDT Rally. Down the hill from your site were the big rig sites. The lady that runs the place had just had 4 spots leveled and paved with 50AMP. FYI the food here is great. FYI Hamilton Missouri is the capital of Quilting. Home of the Missouri Star Company.

    Loved the lake reflection @ 3:40 on your camper…that is calendar worthy! Stopped the video to take a long look. Our 3 daughters all married farmers and so the farming segment looks beautifully familiar to us here in mid Canada. PS our daughters all had a huge learning curve being farmers wives but they have adjusted so well. They had each to cry with when needed in the early stages 😅 a beautiful family you have! 🇨🇦 ❤

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you, Yvonne. I thought that reflection shot was just so peaceful and perfect. Glad you liked it. We've met so many farm families out there and they are all so passionate about their lifestyle/work culture. It's a neat area. Glad your daughters got over the curve together.

    David, your thump thump, reminded me of my dad. He was always doing the same thing. Especially when my grandmother would be in the way of the car. It was always a joke with us kids, and never within earshot of my grandmother or my mom.

    I was both locked in & out of my 4 day old truck camper, was given a tension wrench and rake by lock smith while awaiting new lock set. Took 2 days for new lockset to arrive, and now capable of opening locks in less than 3 minutes. Basically the spring loaded cover for keyway snapped into locked position, cover meant to keep weather out.

    Hi guys... We ran that same road I 29 so many times... We could probably do it with our eyes closed... All those wind farms you saw.... we've been there.. Grandbabies... Oh my goodness they're so cute... Take tons of pictures because they grow up fast... Our grands are in their 20s and they were just 2 yesterday... What did you find out about your generator... I know you're glad to be back Rollin... It was really nice seeing you guys at the rally... Thanks for the video and stay safe...J&A

      Thanks, J&A. Great to see you at the rally. Generator just needs batteries, it was a low amp situation. Good voltage but no amps. Pretty cool being in the wind farms. We toured the facility in Palm Springs which was really neat. Safe travels and see you on the road.
