REPAIRS TRAVEL DAYS AN ACCIDENT PROJECTS Oh MY! IT'S a Wonderful life. RV Fulltime Living. RV COUPLE
The truck gets finished. I have to get a new winch and I make an improvement to our Starlink system with the Smart Plug. It's all in a few weeks work when you RV fulltime.
Powered tandems will be great for the truck to give us more traction. Something gets left off though which will lead to another project at some point.

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 KZhead 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.

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

Hold on to your old winch. It is rebuildable.😊
Oops! Good to know. Thank you. 😃
What a great life
Thank you. we enjoy it. Glad you're along on the journey.
Ok, so yesterday we were traveling through Tallahassee and got off the freeway to look for food. We found a What A Burger. So we tried it and found it to be a Very Good Burger!! One person had the Apple Cranberry Salad and loved it. Not to mention that there was a station that had gas for $2.69 a gallon. Total Score!!! You should be getting advertising royalties…😂 Merry Christmas.
😆 I'd be rich if I got royalties! 😆 Glad you liked it and found some inexpensive fuel too! That's a good day! Happy holidays and thanks, as always, for watching.
David passed on the Whataburger breakfast burger? That's some discipline!
I was tempted but we had cereal and it was a long day in the saddle...so I was good.
Love u guys, have learned so many things watching you two and hope to meet you out on the road one day. We are rving to Alaska 2024 and I can’t wait
Thank you! Alaska in 2024 is exciting! That's great. Hope our videos help. Enjoy it! Take a jacket!
880 in ANYTHING is too much for me, these days! YIKES! Glad all the pieces and parts of your home are back together for the holidays! Merry Christmas! :)
Whew! No kidding! We were done after that trip! We hit the bed hard!
The CEO and The CFO of Travel❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I learn so much from watching your videos.
Awesome! Thank you! LOL...that's funny. We're excited to have you along on the journey.
I am impressed the thought of being on my knees of any surface gives me extreme pain. But watching u giving me flashback of pass pains, lol 😅😅😅😅
😆 I guess it's better me than you, eh?!? Lol 😆 Thanks for watching the channel. 😁
Thanks you two ! Relax and get some much deserved rest.
Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much. We will try...
a man threw out his batteries in the campgrounds 4 each acid batteries , 300 amps each, he said there JUNK, so i got to work, i drained the batteries in a plastic basin, flushed them of 3 times with distilled water, the filled them up with coke -cola and let them sit for overnight, , in the morning i again flushed out the coke -cola with more distilled water that i boiled and treated then poured acid contains into each battery , with more distilled water , capped them and started to charge the batteries all 4 at the same time with 10 amp charger and wait till full charge came about 2 days, the man came by to ask what i was doing , and he thought i was crazy for the junk batteries? but when i tested the batteries 3 were great at 98% good and one was 85% good. each was 275 amp acid batteries. now bad for JUNK BATTERIES. AND BOY WAS HE PISSED OFF, THAT I SAVED HIS BATTERIES.
LOL...that's great. Our genset pulls quite a few amps to start and it's very finicky on it's power quality. Great story. Thanks
Should be a great improvement for your truck. You finally got it done, great job! A couple years ago we had an incident where a person with a PT Cruiser drove into our toad (Ford Explorer) while we were driving towing the vehicle. I just felt a little bump but continued driving until a tow truck driver passed me and signaled that he saw the accident and the PT Cruiser was waiting. When I came back I saw the police and the PT cruiser, left front fender totaled. I couldn’t see a scratch on our FORD Explorer must have hit it in the perfect angle. We were lucky. Still wondering how that person didn’t see a Class A towing a Ford Explorer.
Wow! We flat tow a F 150 with our Class A.
That's unbelievable...I'm sure they weren't paying attention. Glad you were ok. We're excited about the mods.
Hurricanes took our Whataburger in Lake Charles Louisiana and 3 years later we finally got it back I love Whataburger
That is 3 years too long! Glad it's back!
In any case, I myself drove Semi cross country for 5 years, guess I got my traveling and RV’n in. Love Chester’s and Whataburger🎉
I would say so but you can't go wrong with Chesters and Whataburger for sure!
I really enjoy watching your Vlogs every week. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas you both and a Happy New Year.
Happy new year and Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
Great video my friends good bless😊😊😊
Thanks so much and a Happy Holidays!
Smart Plug makes such great products!
Yes they do. I really like it. Looks much cleaner and easier to connect.
We absolutely love watching your channel. Not sure if we will ever get as far as you have with all your travels but some of the travels are definitely on the bucket list. Previous comment was meant for a dog rescue that happened on another channel. So this has been edited! Looking forward to the next episode, it’s a family tradition to watch on Thursday nights
We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey. Thanks for being a part of the story.
@@bigtruckbigtravels thank you and we edited our comment!
@ride4nvd 😆 ok... that makes much more sense now. Thank you for watching the channel and your comments too!
Glad both of you and Pathfinder where not hurt!
Us too! Thank you very much.
Merry Christmas from Rick and Pam from southern Ohio at Big Bear Creek family campground
Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much. Hope you enjoy Big Bear Creek for the holidays.
Christmas greetings from New Zealand. Love your channel and your adventures. This one's got me singing from Oklahoma... "🎹Everything's up to date in Kansas City.. they've gone about as fer as they can go...yes sir! " 🎶 Have a wonderful, blessed Christmas and happy voyaging!
A very happy holidays to you and wishing you a merry and bright season.
Oh…it’s not light in Alaska all the time!😎 Love the NP and Deadhorse wearables! Just got news I’m moving south in 2024. Merry Christmas!🎄
Woohoo! Land of warmth! LOL. Hope it's a good location. Be safe.
Im curious if on the winch you have one wrap of cable (synthetic rope) on the drum and just enough (a little extra) to reach the smart car? I would think this would be a good way to do it as the winch pulls best on the first wrap on the drum and less cable to get bound up. Great channel and content love to watch y'all.
That's interesting because we've had a few others comment on the exact same thing. We didn't realize it so we'll look into that. Thank you!
I am not a camper but I so enjoy watching these series from you guys. Safe and great journeys always.
Awesome! Thank you! We're excited to share it with you.
Merry Christmas, glad everything worked out. Looking forward to see where you go in 2024.
Hope you have a merry and bright holiday season. Thanks for watching. 2024 will be fun.

I'm glad you got everything changed should be a better ride I like watching your videos have a good thanksgiving and a merry Xmas and a happy New year
Happy holidays! Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited about the changes and our travel schedule for 2024.
Love this, it's good to see projects, work, and just standard life. Because of you guys, I looked at Volvos yesterday. I'm a Freightliner guy. I have (2) Columbia & M2. But I'm looking at retirement and 860 sounds good. Saw a 19 and 20 yesterday. Bells and whistles, active cruise, and radar. wow!! Please keep up the videos. FYI - my wife loved all the Alaska stuff. On the bucket list and we're in Seattle.
Great to hear! We usually always travel but we have to get "stuff" done sometimes. Sounds like a great plan and you're on the right path. Glad you enjoy the channel. Thanks for watching. Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
Another great video.

Great vlog!
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel.
I grew up just up I40 from Memphis. My old stomping grounds.
That's cool. I went to school in Fayetteville and had some friends from West Memphis.
@@bigtruckbigtravels Fayetteville AR, I did one of my technical training schools at Little Rock AFB and spent some time there during the 90s because of hurricane evacuation among other reasons.
Merry Christmas to you both of you and your family. I’m exhausted just watching this video, I can’t imagine how you all felt. I am imagining all those miles in the smart car and my butt, back, legs , head and lots more hurts. The older we have gotten the fewer miles we are willing to drive in a day. Sometimes it is about the destination and not the journey … like getting home! I’m glad that both of you had no adverse impact from the crash and the smart car was fine too. I’m always amazed at how many different things you do yourself David. I know it is great to have an understanding of what is happening below in your home. I’m looking forward to your journeys west in 2024. Be safe and may God continue to bless you both.
I'm amazed that I get into as much stuff as I do! LOL...not by my choice but I jump in and usually get it done. Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
I really enjoy your vids, have a very merry Christmas with your family & a happy New Year from NZ❤❤
Thank you. We hope your holiday season is merry and bright.
Looks like some new drive tires are in your near future. Great video and great rehab of the Volvo. Keep the videos coming!
Definitely. We're going to get a little more "aggressive tread" on them this time.
I have only been a subscriber for a couple of days. In one video you mention your daughter in Huntsville Ala. I have a sister N law that lives in Huntsville. I am also from Alabama. I am really enjoying your videos. Wishing I could live the life you guys are living.
Hi Charles and welcome to the channel. We love Huntsville where our daughter lives plus Sondra's mom is in Homewood, AL so we're back in that area each year for the holidays. We're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
What a great video. I'll bet you're glad Jack built that extra heavy duty hitch for the Smart. Sure glad you guys weren't hurt. Merry Christmas to both of you.
We're very fortunate since the timing was impeccable for the new hitch. It saved the Smart from big damage. Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
Merry Christmas ❤
Thank you. Hope that your holiday season is merry and bright.
Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment. 😃
Merry Christmas to you and your family, wow what a year it was for you guys. Can't wait to take you to my favourite burger places out here. Take care and all the very best for the new year. Lots of love from all of us. Ps: you absolutely called it on the hot weather here, well over 100 for the past few weeks
Whew! That's hot. Thanks, Brendan. We look forward to that burger visit. We're heading out west after Jan 1st so we'll get some nice weather in Jan (Hopefully!). Love to you guys to and I hope your holiday season is merry and bright with an awesome 2024 ahead of you. Aloha
Happy Holidays to both of you
Happy new year and Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
Hi guys... We want to wish you a very Merry Christmas... So glad that Little accident did do any damage to your car.... You guys did a lot of traveling back and forth... Glad to see you got everything done... Thanks for the video... Stay safe...J&A
Thank you, J&A. Hope you have a merry and bright holiday season. The timing of the hitch was very fortuitous since without it I'm afraid the Smart would have sustained some damage. Be safe and see you in 2024.
Merry Christmas. Hope you enjoy the holidays! 🎄

Happy holidays! Thank you so much. 💓
Excellent! I learn so much! I see why you choose the rigs you have and why the upgrades will make things better. This was a great ground up approach for someone looking to get into HDRV. Just like the packing for Alaska video, the thought processes were on display! Great minds think great things! Merry Christmas and thank you again for sharing. Leaving NC for AZ in the morning! See you on the road!
Lucky you heading to AZ soon. Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much. We'll be in the Q shortly.

Happy new year and Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
Good beginning (this video) from a bad ending (last video) and confirmation all is well with you and the vehicles. I've been on 40 to Memphis many a time going across country and/or with my Class A when I parked in friends driveway in Eads TN. And of course my TN river stays in Decaturville TN. East of Jackson, off 40, near Lexington, I used to stay at Parkers Crossroads RV park (looked like a past KOA) as well. Fun times! I can really see how you two enjoy RV'ing like you do. And you share it with us. Thank you for 2023 and Happy Holidays, Happy New Year!
Thank you very much. I wanted to get the accident out of the way and answered for everyone on what happened. Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🎄
Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
Another awesome video. Glad to hear that the damage was minimum - the hitch definitely saved the day! What was funny, as you were putting in the starlink external jack, I was cutting my cord and splicing RJ45 for put an external jack on my RV! How funny was that! Those folks at RVH Lifestyles really know their stuff - glad that the bed removal and reinstallation went smoothly. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy and sage New Year!
😆 that's funny on the timing! Working together! Too funny.
Merry Christmas 😃🌲
Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
It's fate! Love it!
LOL...It was pretty funny. Thanks
I'm happy that Pathfinder didn't fare worse with the rear-ending. Before I started watching you, I never heard of Whataburger. Now, my family and I can't wait to try them out.
Thank you. We're glad it came out nearly unscathed. Love Whataburger! Hope you enjoy it.
That powered axle will make a huge difference! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We feel like it will be a huge game changer! Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
Ha Ha, about 4 minutes into the video a Ducks Unlimited Spot/Ad popped up and a few minutes later you pass the Ducks Unlimited sign. Great timing and a great video. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!! Safe travels!!
LOL...that is too too funny. Not by design...well, maybe KZhead planned it that way but not me! LOL Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from our house to yours.
Happy new year and Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.

Bummer that your waste tank didn't fit. But I am sure that you have a plan for a new one. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both. Safe Travels!!
I have a temp solution for our 2024 travels and will get a custom one for the new space. I have a few ideas on the new one too. Not sure if it's possible but we'll see. Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
I can relate when you said you love to travel, but not staying at motels! I am the same way. When my husband was alive, we made several trips to the East coast and stayed at motels all along the way. BUT, we usually drove hard all day (I didn't like that, it was vacation from work and I wanted to see and experience all the places we were seeing.). Stopping at a motel after a long day of driving, unloading EVERYTHING out of the van and carrying it to our room. Then organize our room so we could get to clothes & hygiene items so we could shower and get to bed. Then my husband always wanted to get an early start in the morning which meant getting up around 5 am, hurry to get ready, carry everything back down to the van, organize and load everything into the van, and he might decide to eat breakfast or hit the road. Then do it all over again. I had always talked of us getting an RV so we could travel with our own bed, not having haul everything in and out of the vehicle, up and down stairs & elevators, etc. But he was against it because of the fuel mileage. I can only imagine how much more relaxing it is to know that you have a comfortable bed to sleep in every night and don't have the stress of hoping to find a motel with vacancy, being able to cook your own meals and know you won't get food poisoning or get bad tasting food, and not worrying where the next rest area or gas station is so you can use a bathroom. The RV would save a ton of stress, exhaustion, frazzled nerves, money on restaurants, motels, and parking (yes, some motels charge for parking). I'm still wishing my house was worth enough so I could sell it, get a good used Class C, and be able to do a little travel before my time on earth is done. Until then, I am living vicariously through your travels and experiences. My favorite are the trips to and from Alaska and all the time you were there! Thank you so much for sharing! May God continue to Bless and Protect you all as you continue your journeys. P.S. Yes, Yuma does have beautiful sunsets! Sunrises on a partially cloudy day are also spectacular. But, anyone that knows Yuma, knows we do not have many cloudy days!
Thank you for sharing and we're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊 We love RV travel because we're always home. More to come in 2024, see you next week.
Those Warn winches are pretty easily rebuilt for very little cost as compared to buying a new replacement. Just a thought, as you would have a backup with you at all times.
True. Didn't realize that they could be rebuilt. Thanks for the comment.
Well, If you're heading west, you should come up and see Vancouver BC.
One of these days we will definitely visit Vancouver BC. It's on our list.
U should be wearing sunglasses even if sun is not bright.
Yes. We need to be better.
🎉🎉
😎🤙😍
If I were you I would keep the old electric winch a spare parts in case you might need them who knows someday they could come in handy I also agree with you about being in the tight place and why couldn't it be change out went to bed was being fixed Merry Christmas and Happy New Year safe travel .
Thank you. Good idea on the winch.
Recipe?......Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. Would love to try your Mac n Cheese recipe if you have time to post!
Happy holidays! Probably going on the FB group, Big Truck Big Travels. It's delicious.
We live south of Nashville but never go to Memphis! I guess Smart cars are safe!
😆 We didn't stop... kept right on trucking!
It’s for U-R Little Toy Car.😂😂
Yes... clown car.

Thats like $500 worth of chesters chicken.
And about 20 lbs too! 😆 🤣
Y'all need to try Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken
Never heard of that one. We'll need to try it. Thanks
Very interesting watching your channel. If it’s not too personal, what was your profession before retiring?
We were two mid-level management types that worked for an electronics manufacturing company. We had been camping for 30 years (from backpacking to tent camping to RVing) and we moved a lot due to transfers so fulltiming was a natural extension for us. We love it.
Santa bringing David a boat?
LOL...I can only hope...maybe next year?!? Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
@@bigtruckbigtravels have a very merry Christmas and hope the new year brings safe travels
No buttermilk Pie yummy
I'll bet that would be good.
What’s burger ought to pay you for all the advertising you give them👍😊‼️ How often do you have to service all the vehicles like you just did?MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU 2‼️ Have a wonderful time with your family‼️😊👍‼️
Whataburger definitely gets a lot of free advertising on our channel! The truck and Smart are once a year. The Jeep twice and the motorhome twice as well... some years it will be once. Thanks. Happy holidays!
You could have put both batteries into the Smart car I have used mine for weight.
You're right, after I made two trips it looked like both would have fit...better safe than sorry.
Where do you get your music from? You should put it together in a music vlog. Live it.

Merry Xmas from New Zealand. I am guessing that the 2 differentials have a power divider (inter axel diff lock) but did you have cross locks fitted so that all the drive wheels can be locked together?
We have lockers on the rear but not interlocked. We don't plan on going 4x4 so we think it's configured good for us. Appreciate your comments and insight! Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
@@bigtruckbigtravels A merry Xmas to you both, will be thinking of you in your winter while we are enjoying summer. ☺️
@@murrayching1160 Enjoy!
Hi, new to your sight. Quick question. Do either one of you have a class A non commercial endorsement or have you ever been asked to show one. Thnx and happy holidays!
Yes, we both have one since we're out of Texas. We bypass the scales but obey all rules for trucks.
That’s Girl good girl wearing them sunglasses Cadracks develop later in life if u don’t wear them
Sunglasses in the 🌞 try to always remember that. 👌
Are you planning on installing a different waste tank?
Yes. I think I have a temporary solution worked out while I order a custom one for later in the year. We definitely need the tanks when we boondock.
Happy days ! MERRY CHRISTMAS GUY'S, I trust you'll have a fun safe time. You might consider shortening the Winch cable so it just long enough to pick up the car at the end of the ramp. This will do several good things. First off the winch will work at full rated power, only the first two or three wraps are full strength by the time the spool is full you can only get 1/4 of the rated power. Secondly this will prevent line wrap and line piling and jamming on the cross bars, both make it very hard to unspool the line when you need it. Live the upgrades, look forward to seeing where they take you next. CHEERS TO A HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR Steve h.
Thank you, Steve for the suggestion. We'll look into that. Happy holidays! Hope they are merry and bright. Thank you very much.
