- We leave Glacier National Park and head to our next adventure but first we have to address some concerns we have with our RV. Lots of expensive things can go wrong from frame cracks to RV AC units to tire blow outs to slide problems and we have to address a biggie this week.
Our journey is truly the destination so on our way south we want to explore Great Falls, Montana for a few days. Visiting the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center and the largest natural spring in the USA are going to be fun.
We have to get to Billings, Montana for our expensive RV appointment. This won't be fun nor will it be cheap. It isn't an RV frame issue like Grand Design but it will cost nearly as much!
Come join our Facebook Group, Big Truck Big Travels for more details such as Alaska itinerary, annual costs and RV stuff.

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 RUclips channels Suite Travels, Switch it Up 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. We're not exactly taking Life in the Slow Lane but we do stop and smell the roses.
Our journey is the destination. We want to share our experiences of 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:

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

Thanks everyone for joining in on the journey. The boxes we picked up at the Coca-Cola distributor were syrup (Diet Coke and Coke Zero Sugar) for our soda fountain machine in Orion. We used to get them here when we volunteered at Yellowstone so were hoping that we still could procure the flavors. Sondra was getting low...dangerously low!
Very cool, thanks for the reply 🙂 Now all you need is a what a burger dispenser, ha!
It appears that you both are Trump supporters. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Goodridence.

You two never cease to amaze me. You’re the most pleasant people I know (I feel like I know you). Why you continue to take the time to put together these wonderful videos is hard to comprehend, but we all appreciate it!
Thanks, John. We do it for our travel memories and because of great people like you that have an interest in this lifestyle. We always said that one of the core tenets of the channel would be to give back to the RV community and help to answer/show others their own path to RV travel. So many have given of their time when we had questions during our research phase that we felt a pull to do the same through the channel. We sincerely appreciate your time watching the channel.
It's Thursday, time to watch our favorite couple traveling this beautiful USA 🇺🇸 Happy travels 😀
Yay! Thank you! We are traveling!
I guess you guys are officially "re-tired."😂 I'm so glad you stopped to see Giant Springs. I think it's one of the neatest places near Great Falls.
😆 🤣 that's funny, Phyllis. I missed on that one! The springs were phenomenal!
Last August, 4 days into our month-long western trip, we had a flat tire on our 5th wheel while staying at a Harvest Host farm outside of Rapid City, SD. We were headed to Billings to stay all night with one of my childhood friends and her husband. Dave took Linus to the other Stanley Tire location to have them repair the tire and change out the spare. They treated us like gold!!! Great people there!
That's terrible what happened but it's great that you had a good experience. Great staff for sure. Thanks for watching the channel.
Have to say it’s awesome to see more subscribers each week ! Love each video - this one resonates with me, since new tires are on my must-do list before Wyoming winter hits, though nothing like what it costs you. Glad you found a good place to do the work. Looking forward to next Thursday’s video - definitely the best travel channel on RUclips!! ❤
Thank you, Elizabeth. Glad you enjoyed it and could relate to it too! Tires are a must but not much "fun"! 😆 😂 Until next Thursday!
Thank you so much for the beautiful videos of this beautiful creation of God . Hopefully I will get to experience some of these beautiful places you take us on. Great editing of the videos. Safe travels and see you next week
Appreciate your comments, Steve. It's a beautiful country and we enjoy sharing it with you.
Oh, that sunset with the suns rays shining through was wonderful!
That was beautiful, wasn't it?!? Really nice area out there. Thanks for watching
Was stationed at Malmstrom AFB. Lived in Great Falls for 5 years. Loved it. Our first 2 kids were born there.
Oh wow! That is cool! Such a small world.
You got out of Glacier just in time. Logan Pass had a good dump of snow. Enjoy your new tires (ouch). Good to be safe and diligent with the maintenance. Take care and have fun.
That happened to us in July one year. Stuck until snow plows did their job. Lake Louise & Kananaskis just got a dump in Canada
Yes, it looks like our timing was great. Saw some muddy rivers too just after we left. Whew!
Thanx guys ….always a pleasure to ride shotgun with you 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍❤️🫡
We really appreciate your time watching the channel, Sandra and are excited to have you along on the journey. Thanks for being a part of the story.
When you had a video a while back, and I thought, wow, it's sure getting close to getting new tires !!! Thank you now I can relax and know you'll be safe now !!!!
Right on, Anita! We saw that too and had planned on this a while back. Thank you for watching and appreciate your time.
My 2018 Volvo is paid off In December. Thinking about following your footsteps. Just me and the dogs though. Love watching you 2. Thanks for all the happiness!
Good luck!! Your truck is newer than ours! It's fun and you are ahead of the curve with your driving experience.
Great video. Those tires $$$$ like a new roof every 10 years. Thanks for sharing Sondra and David
Thanks for watching! Oh... they feel soooo good!
You caught a wolverine on camera crossing the road! Wolverines have a very characteristic walk and gate - they move fluidly and quickly - on longer legs than a badger. Badgers are close to the ground and ‘waddle’ when they move. Wolverines are dark brown fur color while a badger is a mix of grey, black & white fur color. While admittedly a very rare sighting, wolverines populate the state of Montana, especially in the western third of the state near water sources. Over thirty-five years traveling throughout Montana I’ve seen three wolverines but I’ve never captured one on camera. Your wolverine sighting was quite unique and very fortunate!!
Thank you. We were very fortunate and excited to see it. Very cool.
I don’t think you need to worry about the length of your videos! If I don’t have enough time to watch it in one sitting I watch the rest later! I know someone made a comment about one of your recent videos being too long but I disagree! I love seeing all the places you go and they can always fast forward! Don’t change your videos to make them shorter!!! My husband and I are using you guys to help us decide where to travel once we retire!!! Keep on keeping on!!!
Good to know! Thanks and we're glad the channel is helping you with your plans. Woohoo!
Great videos and photos (as always). I enjoyed seeing these new areas (to me). I don’t think I will ever have my 4 tires replaced without thinking of you 2 and being thankful it isn’t 22! Looking forward to next week’s adventure! Thank you.
Thanks 👍😆 Count your blessings it's only 4! Woohoo! But... it was a world RV record!
I enjoy your adventures and today I learned something about Great Falls Montana. The natural spring was just amazing. Thank you.! Stay safe, have fun!
Glad you enjoyed it and the Giant Springs are phenomenal! I could sit there all day!
Thank you for sharing your ventures again. I was enjoy watching your videos
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching the channel.
Being a lifelong 4 wheeler I have always looked forward to new tires, that new rubber smell and the gushhy feels of fresh flexible tire lugs. LOVE the vids and the long format. I have to say that at your age it Really is time to stop drinking that diabetes water. It truely is a ticking time bomb for insulin resistance and cancers, alzimers along with type 2 diabetes. CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS. Steve h.
Thank you, Steve h. We'll keep that in mind. Always trying to stay healthy... but we love the feeling of new tires... just not the cost of 18 of them!
I love, love, love you both. I don’t miss an episode. I live in North Alabama. Wyoming and Montana are my two favorite places.
Great places to live, Kelly. We've enjoyed our time up here. Thank you so very much for your time watching the channel.
We’re all glad to know you two are now KNEE DEEP IN RUBBER! Safe travels on your new skins - and travel safe!
😆 🤣 oh yeah... thanks
Thanks for taking me along. Your videos are surreal to me. Just the two of you and the open road.
Glad you enjoyed it, Terry. We're very fortunate to be able to share our experiences and live this lifestyle. Thanks for watching the channel.
What a great price for all those tires! Awesome video again. Loved the Wildlife Preserve campsite you had all to yourselves!
Thanks for watching, Elizabeth! We loved our campsite. So peaceful.
That's actually a very good price for 18 tires. I'm sure going to an independent tire shop saved some money. A couple of months ago, I took a trailer to one of the big truck stop shops to replace a tire (sidewall damage), and the bottom line was around $800. A roadside tire change from a blowout can go over $1000...
Very true. This is really a lot like preventive maintenance. Thanks
I can hear Pathfinder giggling with delight from here! There’s no feeling more confident when you’re hitting the road than a set of new tires. Spendy yes, but so worth not worrying. Thanks for showing that tending to maintenance is all part of getting to ‘What’s Next’👍🏼Be safe you two!❤~Wendy
I feel like we are following you guys! We were just in Yellowstone with 2 of our grandkids. 8/25-8/27. Saw bear, bison, elk and a fox!
It's a great area to visit. You hit the wildlife jackpot!
Fantastic deal on the tires. I just replaced the 8 Toyo 315/80-22.5 tires on my class A and that ran $6K before taxes.
Oh wow! We did good. Thanks
That steer tire is similar to a dump truck tire size.18 k lbs capacity.
The typical otr tractor is 12,000 lbs a little less. But 6 thousand is typically the rate for 3 axel brand name tires.
Wow great deal on your tires, I just bought 6 toyo tires 22.5/295/80 installed with centramatic wheel balancers. In California from les Schwab tire center for the outrageous price of 5,200 dollars. Next time I'm going to Montana. Love your channel thanks for all the great work putting out the content. I just retired and am ready to hit the road and I figure if you can get your rig to fit I can get a 40 ft. Tiffin allegro bus with toad to fit.
We enjoy traveling with no firm plans. Nice to find a surprise camp site every so often. I have ridden the area along the Salmon a number of times and it is awesome.
That is awesome! It's a beautiful area and easy to not have plans!
Great video! The only thing you missed in Great Falls was the best piece of pie I have ever eaten - Huckleberry Pie. A local joint had one piece left. Thank you for sharing.
Nice. I'll bet that's good!
Never a dull moment. Thank you again and again
Glad you enjoyed it, Susan. Our life is on constant motion, no doubt.
I’ve been taking notes and plan to do your route when I get up to Montana. Thank you for all the great information.
Glad it was helpful, Angela! Beautiful area up there...oh...stick around, there's more to add! 😆
Yes, I was curious about the amount for the tires ! For me that use to change just 4 tires, it was a really high amount !!! Thanks for the video, as usual it was interesting.
Glad to help and happy you enjoyed it. Thanks
Omg your in Livingston. Our oldest son and daughter in law and 3 grandchildren lived there for about 8 years now, they moved from Maui to Livingston. My wife and I are now in Belgrade / Bozeman I am getting treatment on my Cancer. We love it here and I hope we can survive the cold winter 🤙🤙. We love your guys videos. Thank you
may your treatment be successful
Thank you. Yes, we hope you survive the winter too! It does get cold... and snow! Love that area. We were in Yellowstone at Mammoth for 4 months. Went to Bozeman monthly for groceries. Neat town.
David has to be the most patient husband. His Wife is so pretensions. besides the things I dislike about their personalities. I find the content great. they talk about the things they visit rather than the stuff they have. It is also fun to watch because we turned it into a drinking game. each time David says " Yeah" we drink we get hammered. Yeahhhhhh
😆 😆 Thank you, Mike for watching the channel. Hmmm... maybe need to expand my vocabulary from "yeah"! I'll think of something! I guess after watching our channel there's no driving home! 😆
I love Thursdays and seeing where you take me!
We're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
You and I both have had run ins with the police on Hwy 89. You talked your way out of it!! I got a speeding ticket trying to get a pastor to church on time for a church service after spending the day north of Yellowstone quad riding in the mountains. Isn't it great how new tires make a rig drive nice. Another great video. Thanks for sharing with us..
It's wonderful...er,.. not your ticket but the new tire feeling! 😆 😆
I always heard that hdt tires were around $1000 each. You guys got an amazing deal on all 18. I would have never guessed. Not nearly as bad as I would have imagined. Still a lot!
I think they have come down a bit but we were expecting it to be more so this was good.
I always like the pictures at the end. I will not feel so bad when I have to change the 6 tires on my motorhome.
😆 🤣 Thanks, Steve. You'll feel lucky!
You guys are wonderful! We love your channel. Thank you for all the effort you put in to make it fun to watch.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching the channel.
That’s pretty wild getting the tires that way, but I would do it too. I want all my tires (four) to be the same age. Plus that Missouri Breaks place was cool. I love finding the head waters of rivers and looking at maps of the river basins. Sooo interesting.
We like having the tires all the same age. Those springs were sooo cool!
You did really good on the 18 tires. I paid for 6 new tires over $4000 installed. Great adventures. We will be traveling next week enjoying the fall colors in September/October in beautiful Michigan. Safe travels!
Tyre prices have increased somewhat - must be due to inflation (boom boom!)
Sounds great! That will be beautiful. We'll be in Kansas for October.
I love finishing out my week watching your vid. Incredible scenery and great puns. Well done Travel safe
Glad you enjoyed it, Brendan. Hope your week went well and you're doing good. Thanks for watching
Thank you for letting me join you on your adventures❤
It's our pleasure, Justine. We're honored that you want to spend your time with us. Thank you for watching the channel.
I love your videos and I really love the music you use!
Thank you so much!
Such a great video as always. I’m also learning some things along the way. Thanks so much and can’t wait for the next one. Enjoy the adventure. Take care and be safe
Awesome! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
What an amazing planet we live on. Gorgeous!
Isn't it stupendous?!? Around every corner we are continually amazed and humbled.
Just beautiful scenery. Enjoy yourselves! Thank you
Thanks, Marcy. We appreciate your time watching the channel. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Having been in the tire business for almost 40 years, tires are an “O’ Shi#” purchase. People are rarely enthused to spend their money on tires. As I always told customers, just remember tires stop your vehicle!
Yes and they keep it rolling! Never fun to shell out that kind of cash but it's worth it in the long run... so you can keep running! 😆 🤣
As an otr operator. I replace my tires just above half tread. Never had a tire issue since I owned my truck , up to 120,000 miles a year. If I had a trailer I would definitely have a trailer tpms system along with plumbed air system to the trailer tires.
I get a great price when selling and get new tires at full tread for maximum water slush snow dispersal.
Side note as a company driver never had debris pop a tire under 8 32 nd tread thickness.
Measure tread depth weekly to check for upcoming suspension weak to resolve allignment issue before it eats a tire or tires.
Safe travels.
Thanks for sharing your "Tireless" pursuits! I love the footage and dad jokes!
Glad you enjoyed! That's funny! I may steal it! 😆
Thanks. i enjoy your content all the time. You sure are right when you say the destination is the journey!
Absolutely! We're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
Come on folks, subscribe. We have to get them over 100,000 subscribers. They deserve it for sure. They take us on awesome adventures every week.
Thank you! Go, go, go! 😆 🤣 I hope it helps! Share this video and help "spread the love!"
No way there Trumpers
@@sandrasevcech690 it's definitely an election year and just giving respect to any past president regardless of party affiliation. Respect for the office and the country they are charged to lead.
Ya'll are so cute😅 Love the puns😂 Shew, I was just wondering how often you replace your tires and boom, this video comes out. Beautiful scenery and great music!!! Awesome job!!!
Thanks, Cyndy! Glad you enjoyed it and excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
Beautiful scenery. Loved the video. Y’all are living the life. Keep those videos coming. Gig em
More to come! You've got a big game coming up this weekend! Good luck! Thanks for watching
Oh, David, you big cornball, you had me chuckling today with all your puns. Im glad you don't get "tired" of coming up with those zingers! Who "Dewey" thank for your crazy sense of humor? 😵💫😳😱
😄😆😅😂
😁 glad you enjoyed it... does take a "special" sense of humor to fully appreciate (put up with?!?) my humor! 😆 🤣
Fantastic video work, editing, drone, stills! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel. 😊
Another awesome video. Montana is one of my favorite vacation states. The Big Sky Country! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it, Eddie! We love the state.
Another interesting and entertaining video. My wife and I have done business with Staley Tire for many years, very good people. We live in Joliet about 25 miles from Billings. I like your travels a lot, be safe and happy. (you two are always happy !)
That is awesome! They are good people for sure. Great experience.
I'd love to be able to travel like you all mm lol... But I'm a smaller RV.. I also love watching your videos.. Have a blessed day
So, what was in the boxes you had to go pick up? Also, we really enjoy your videos. 😊
Diet Coke syrup for the soda fountain in the trailer. Sondra loves her diet Coke!
Smaller RV's are more flexible for travel. It just depends on how much space you feel comfortable as a fulltime RV traveler. Glad to have you along on the journey. 😊
So impressed you got such a good deal on 18 tires! Very savvy shopping I honestly thought it would be at least $10,000 .
Loved the beautiful spring and that beautiful water.
Happy to know you are safe on the new tires. Have fun till next week 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks, Susan. We feel much better rolling on new tires. We were happy with the price and service. Thanks for watching
Every Friday morning we both enjoy our coffee with your videos...now that is a great way to wake up even to "bad jokes". Thank you for the post sharing what you picked up at the distributor we were left hanging on that one! More beautiful scenery and boy David sure can find the places to boondock. He and my guy Gary would get along famously, both Google Maps folks! Tires may have been pricey but they sure are important! Another very enjoyable video, we will catch you next Friday morning!
Thanks, Susan. Glad you enjoyed it. We picked up Diet Coke syrup for the soda fountain machine since Sondra was getting low.
Hello guys, that sunset was beautiful, the water lake was also beautiful, that bill was soooooooooooooooooo Expensive wow. love you guys be careful and safe.💜💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I love your videos, can’t wait to see where you are taking us next. Safe travels.
Thanks so much, Barbara! Buckle up! More on the way.
The reason it is so smooth is that all the tires are new and BALANCED. When I replace the tires on my wife's SUV she only cares about one thing, NO Noisy Tires so I rely on the tire guys I go to after I do my own research. Oh yeah, last bit of advice. Never buy tires made in China, never. Some of the big companies like Yokohama and Bridgestone have plants in Thailand or Indonesia, etc. that is OK as they are quality tires but never by a Chinese tire.
Agreed. Thanks for the comment.
I bought a 25,950 GVWR Chevy T6500 cabover truck with 26 foot box and liftgate about 20 years ago. It had Chinese steer tires, back when it was rare to see Chinese tires in the USA. They were still on it when I sold the truck 12 years later, though I hadn't actually driven the truck in 6 years and they aged out, due for replacement. Personally I prefer Michelins, but I had no problem putting my life on the line with Chinese tires. It's tires, not rocket science. And if it were rocket science, they're not bad at that, either.
I was shocked to find out that a set of Michelins I bought new for a Toyota, were made in Russia. I didn't notice that until I'd had them for 5 years. I've had other Michelins made in USA, and made in France.
When I was a kid, "Made in Japan" meant junky. Now it means best in the world. Chinese stuff 30 years ago was junky. Now most 2024 Chinese stuff is better than 1994 US stuff. China has caught up on how to make most simple stuff, and they're even ahead of us on how to make some complicated stuff. Tires are something where I pay attention and try to buy American now, but it's not because Chinese stuff is terrible, it's mostly OK or fine.
@@EfficientRVer I just know my experience. I took the wife's car in for new tires to Tires Plus a few years ago and he gave me a price and I said ok. He put on a brand called Primewell which I think is a Tires Plus brand from China. Absolute worst tires I ever had. Noisy and rough riding. he took them off and put much better tires on (Firestone). Anyway many camper trailers come with Chinese tires on the trailer and they tell folks to get them off for better tires. I won't buy them but to each their own.
I was happy to hear that the new tires aren't too noisy.
Us too. It was a relief! Whew!
Another enjoyable video! Thank you. Paul and I were at Great Falls MT as we came back from Canada in June too for a week. Really enjoyed the L&C Interpretative Center. But, the Great Springs and the shortest river was our favorite.
❤❤
Very cool, Yvette! That is the best. Love the springs!
Man o man, what an AHHHHMAZING sunset!!!!! Loved it!!!
David, watch out for Sondra and the “Mom” jokes, I think she is gonna catch up to you. She is starting to come off the top rope with some funneeee ones.
Great video guys, you two are great 2gether!!!
👍😃🍻
She's starting to get in her groove... but we'll see. 😆 🤣 Thanks for watching
Always appreciate the absolutely beautiful countryside! Safe travels! ❤
Thank you very much for your time watching the channel.
Fantastic ,enjoyed every minute.🤣Thats for the TIYERD hummer.👍✌
Glad you enjoyed it, Stuart. 😆 🤣 Thanks
Never get tired of watching your videos😅😊
Thanks, Chris. Glad to have you along on the journey. 😊
David’s gonna have to limit his Whataburger 🍔consumption to #7 Junior meals for the next couple of years to help pay for all those tires!!!..🤣
😆 🤣 never! I have a stash from a few great people so I can continue my Whataburger habit! 😆
Another great video love you guys❤❤God Bless you Sondra and David
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.
Great video again, always enjoy watching your adventures. Safe travels.
Glad you like them! Thanks, Gary for being part of the journey.

Thank you so much. It looked fake, didn't it?!? Amazing!
I buy fleet tires and parts for our school district. You did quite well! Feel good about it and keep on rolling safe!
Thank you, Scott. Appreciate your input... and confirmation. We researched it but you just never know sometimes "what's in a price".
Another great video. I really hope you're able to stay in the Stanley area. It's beautiful. But that area has been on fire for a month.
It's incredible the destruction....this week we find out!
Just wanted to let you know that if you pass thru Columbia, South Carolina there’s a Whataburger opening Sept 9th on Killian Rd off of Hwy 77
Thanks. We may pass thru just for that!
Love the video! Especially, the Great Falls section!
Glad you enjoyed, Cindy! Thank you for watching
I had to shell out $1200 a tire for 365's that are used on the fronts of our RV. They are only made by Michelin only 1 time a year. My other 315's can be sourced from other manufacturers. I feel your pain and experience it every 7 to 8 years.
Yes, but at least it's only every 7-8 years... and not 4-5! Thanks for watching the channel.
Enjoy watching you and praying you are safe as you navigate the USA. 🎉Trump/ Vance 2024 Fuel will return to better prices. We were in trucking business 38 years and diesel was 5.59 gallon when we shut the doors. Sad.
trump is not winning LOL!
President's don't control fuel prices. 🤡
We are sorry to hear you shut your doors....people don't understand that diesel not gasoline needs to come down...but what can you say ...Democrats...we were in trucking for 48 years ...we know...Trump 24
@@benp3597 their policies do... Educate yourself...
Ouch! We like it when it's below $3!
I hope you got to enjoy the Sawtooths and Stanley before the forest fires started and that are occurring there now. Thanks for another fun video. Safe travels.
Oh... you'll see if we did. This wildfires were fast and large! Totally unexpected! Thanks for watching the channel.
lol...Try 70 at one hit. Not an RV, but an 8 axle steel hauler in Michigan. We did our tractor, and both of our trailers all at once. Im just glad I didnt have to pay for it.
Oh man! No fun on that tire change!
Great video!! Can't wait until next video!! My husband and love to get off the interstate and explore the toens...you would be surprise what you would fine. Happy trails y'all.
That is sooo true. Lots of unique, fun stuff out there!
I used to live in Fairfield Montana where you boondocked! Been to Giant Springs several times! Thanks for the memories!
Very cool! Beautiful area.
Great footage as always... hope to see you out on the road one day. Safe travels.
Thank you and that would be cool to run into you guys... well... not literally! 😆
You got a great price on your tires.Looking like a great trip you taking the scenery is beautiful
Thanks 👍Eric. It's really good so far.
The tires was a big expense but much needed for your safety for your home on wheels 🚎 🚙 Safe travels 🥰 😎
Yes! Thank you! You don't mess with safety. Appreciate your time watching the channel, Joyce.
Happy people - you both seem to be. Beautiful!
Thank you. We try.
I just did tires on my dual axle trailer and pickup in Helena, MT today. And, I'm visiting Great Falls next Saturday! I'm a few weeks behind you! 😂
Woohoo! Great minds think alike!
As we wAtch these beautiful videos we are reminded that we are so blessed to live in such a beautiful country. God's handiwork all around. I never "tire" 😉of seeing nature. Another stunning video. ❤
🤣😂that's good. I may steal that one!

She's fast! 😆
your in my stomping grounds now idaho is great thanks for sharing your adventures with us
That's awesome! Love Idaho!
The tires are called lugs (coming from a 35-year + driver, lol) and to let you know I swear by lugs I've run them by every truck I've ever had
Ok, thanks. That's interesting and we didn't know that.
Hopefully the more aggressive tires wear decent for you. When we ran otr trucks years ago our trucks that ran lighter loads went through them like crazy, they didn't have decent wear patterns. Our trucks that stayed heavy all the time did better, the tires didn't cup the tread. But they were nice in the dirt, snow etc.
That's the plan! So far they are good. Thanks
Sondra that fountain drink machine is awesome! 🎉hate the cost of tires, your right Bama is not cheap on that stuff. Y’all be careful see you next video. 😊❤
Thanks so much, Larissa. Alabama does have a stiff sales tax so we had planned on doing this in Montana. Sondra loves her Diet Coke!
22 Tires has to be Guinness World Book Record
Oh Yeah! That's what I was thinking!
Glad Sandra got her soda fix. Nice price on your tires, open shoulder should help if you end up driving in snow ever. If the tire has the 3 peak snow rating you would not need to chain up if you ever did get caught in a snow storm in the mountains. I think you guys avoid snow pretty good though. If the picture of the wolverine turned out good the State may like it, some state have a web page for reporting the more rare animals in the state. As always enjoyed the video very much, stay safe and healthy.
Thank you. Not a great picture but good info on the state. We definitely try to avoid snow!
You do so well to budget. David does well to park anywhere!
Thank you, Karen.
All things considered it seems like not a bad deal on that many tires. I try to put the truck tires on the trailer when they wear down most of the way and then let them age out on the trailer, by then the truck already needs new tires so the cycle starts over.
That's a good plan. Thanks
