  • We leave the Pads in Death Valley National Park and Lake Manly behind as we travel scenic Highway 160 to Las Vegas. Why not? We haven't traveled it before and seems like a good road.
    Our tandem drive axles are really nice so Matt's Off Road Recovery will not be needed in the foreseeable future. Whew!
    Headed to Las Vegas is a big gamble because Thousand Trails Las Vegas RV Resort is tight, very tight. Will we fit?
    We plan to do something stupid...but if it works out then it will be a very cool and EPIC adventure. We'll find out!
    We enjoy the Las Vegas strip for good food, entertaining shows and a vibe/energy which is so unique to this city.
    We've come out West to enjoy a nice warm winter season and to experience some first time activities for us. Who knows where the road leads? It's exciting to be able to live this lifestyle so no complaints here.
    We are not Snow Birds as we are always traveling nearly every week but we do like nice warm weather and heading west is the best.
    We will raise our solar panels and brush them off to power our stay and experience these epic treasures of Mother Nature as we venture on.
    Come join our Facebook Group, Big Truck Big Travels to get more details on our travels such as Alaska itinerary, annual costs and such.

    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.
    I get my music from:
    Epidemicsound.com
    Tracks:
    A Real Class Act by Martin Landstrom
    For the Business by Gerhard Feng
    Grifting in Vegas by Kit and the Calltones
    Here comes the King by Chester Malone
    Pray by Gamma Skies
    Amazon Shop (no extra charge to you)
    A convenient way to see (or buy) the items you see in the video's which may help in your adventure.
    www.amazon.com...
    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
    We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded.

    Curiosity is getting the best of me. Do you actually scrapbook and the truest sense of the fashion, bullet journal, or art journal. Or are you doing all three. You have so much material I can't imagine deciding what to use and what not to use and and how you have enough room to carry it all. I'm living vicariously through your travels and loving every minute of it take care and safe travels.

      Sondra does a combination of all 3. She uses the motif for each week based on where we are going and decorates from there. She does a lot of tracking in it as well. Thanks 😄

    Hi guys!! New subbie here. I've watched you for a couple months and thought I'd subscribed, but I guess I didn't! 😂 Love watching your adventures and you guys make it fun. Hubby and I have lived in our 42' Montana Legacy 5th wheel since 2017. We travel for 6 to 8 weeks at a time. When we're not traveling we are blessed to have a home base on our daughter's property. I also journal everyday. Gotta love the scrapbook stores!! 🥰 Thanks for bringing us along, love watching you. 💜

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      First, Whataburger in Tennessee is around Memphis and Nashville with another one in Clarksville. Sondra is very cold natured and will wear the jacket with ear muffs when temps drop below 62 F. We couldn't find a suitable mattress in the beginning and were pushed for time so the air mattress was our "temp" solution... but with a foam topper it's really comfortable! So we just keep using it. 😊 Thanks

      We live in it fulltime and wanted it to feel like home for the next 20 years or so. Plus, we needed some room to give us flexibility on where we camp, weather we encounter and such. It's not for everyone but we're in it for the long haul.

    Been there done that with an HDT. Downsizing to a smaller rig sure made sense and a lot less stressful travel for us. A 35 foot class A motorhome pulling our SMART 453 makes our life much much easier. Would never go back to being 65’ long.

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2
