How about the RV Resort? We'll see.
Going to Hot Springs for the 2024 Solar Eclipse and totality. But do we have time for a few other activities? We'll see.
Oh...I have to fix our RV...I've never done this before...and it doesn't go as planned. Rats! Water heaters sometimes don't fix easily!
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 YouTube 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:
Out of Here by Humble Hey feat: Jennifer Holm
Deeper than the Ocean by Bonnie Grace
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.

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:

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.

This channel is exploding because you two don’t have a agenda your just sharing your lives on the road as full time RVers. You share the sounds of that big silly diesel cackling and it’s never really about you guys but more so about your adventure. Keep on keeping it real guys, this channel is fantastic!

Hey David. Next time this happens to your water heater check the ohms between the terminals of the element and it should read around 10 ohms give or take. Remove the wires but leave the element in the heater before checking. If you get a good reading then it’s most likely your thermostat. There is a reset on the thermostat and there is a thermostat for the A/C side and one for the gas side. These are easy to replace if necessary.

Suggestion: Always wear lime green vests when you have to be ouside of the rig giving directions to the other. They help the driver to see the spotter and more importantly, other vehicles to see the spotter.

I like to watch your videos for all the antics that David does. He sure does know how to make things real, and interesting. It isn't cool, it really is hot, but it is cool that the hot spring is in front of the entrance to Hot Springs National Park. Just the things that he says. It sure makes watching your video fun to watch.

I look forward to your video every Thursday, I never tire of David's banter and his handyman skills and I LOVE Sondra's photo montage at the end... my favorite this week was the hot springs fountain shot. See you next week, until then safe travels!

David, you are a jack of all trades! Y’all should do a Q&A video where we write in questions for y’all to answer! I’d love that!! As always, another great video! 😎

Good job of editing and music choices. Very high quality presentation.

Equally as impressive as reversing out of that carpark was the editing of the opening sequence: incorporating the rarely heard extended version of the theme song and seguing seamlessly into the usual opening credits. 💯👍🏾

When you see oua at the beginning of a word it is a French word and pronounced like a wa. There are many words and towns in Wisconsin that stump people for pronunciation. Nice job capturing the eclipse you did far better than most that showed it on yt. Stay safe and healthy.

with a good telescope you can see stars during the day time. I've seen Jupiter and the northstar and others. found this out during a star party here in
Oregon. I saw a guy looking through his telescope and I asked him what he was looking at and he told me jupiter. I thought he was fooling me so he showed me. then when we got back to the observatory he showed me the north star and others. I was blown away. By the way, the guy showing me these things was the Professor of astronomy at the college. I had to quit t his hobby as I a m diabetic and my eyes would not focus looking through the telescopes

I've learned.. never park a big rig facing away the the exit plan if at all possible.. emergency bug out protocol at all times.

Two things I remember from when we were in Hot Springs. 1. The Urgent care center (I had pneumonia) and McClard's bar B Q. Excellent barbecue. We picked up the Airstream and brought it home today. Two day orientation. Pictures tomorrow.
