    I purchased one of those power packs off of Amazon. My husband was not thrilled with my purchase. Now it is with him all the time. It has saved us numerous times.

    It rained the whole time we were in Savannah, but we enjoyed it anyway. Next time you're there, we recommend eating at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room at 107 West Jones Street. They serve every southern dish imaginable family style. You sit at large tables with strangers and pass around the platters of food that the servers keep bringing to your table. It was good food! Meeting other people was fun too.

    I grew up in Savannah and never knew about all the things that are now apart of the tours. So one day when I visited my hometown after many years I took a guided tour to learn and see many of the sights I missed growing up.

    You can put a battery switch on your car to keep it from discharging. I have a van that sits a lot I put a trickle charger on the battery and a switch to keep it from running down, also works a little for security the van will not start unless you flip the battery switch. Would be good on the semi also to have a switch. Thank you for the long video it was excellent to watch. David thank you for all you do so Sandra gets the photos she shares with us. Stay safe and healthy.

    • @bigtruckbigtravels

    Back when we were "newbies", we got caught by missing the "truck exit" somewhere in upstate New York. Thankfully the road was not well travelled (at that time anyway 😀) and the median was flat and grassy, so we were able to complete an illegal U-turn without having to call the authorities to help us out of our bind! As soon as we got home from that trip, we purchased a trucker's atlas of sorts that listed every single low-lying bridge in North America. We also measured the height of our RV in both metres and feet and posted it on the dashboard of the truck. You can't be too careful! Great video 🙂

    Re: car not starting. I pulled into the gas station recently, tried to restart the car and nothing...tried a few more times, nothing. Popped the hood and tried to adjust the battery cable and nothing. I pulled the key and tried again and it started so I went straight to our local NAPA and had the battery checked, the battery was good. My mechanic son, who owns the same brand car had the same experience and told me if it happens again to pull the key, flip it over and retry to start, it was the key fob. I have not had another bad experience since. Is worth a try. Enjoy your videos, those of us who have wanderlust running through our veins even enjoy the corny jokes David 🤪 safe travels.

    I had to stop the video about 3/4 the way through , but I loved going to Savannah, so much to do and see, by the way we did the grave shift tour of the cemetery. learned a lot, went to the Island and did you guys get to see Forest Gump's bench he sat on and told his story? the kids from the south learn at a very young age about Nascar and we were getting on the street car tour bus and one little guy said he liked my Chevy Race team hat, so I gave him mine. We were back there around 2003 or 4, but it has been one of my favorite memories. One memory we had was the light house on Tybee Island. We had flown back east for my son's graduation from boot camp and he was with us and he being in fine physcal shape ran up the stars of the light house, My wife and I thought we were going to die. When we got back down we came across a 4 year old boy and his mom. She was trying to talk the boy to climb the stars and explaining the historical significance of the light house and how wonderful it would be to climb the stairs. The little boy told his mom he didn't think he was old enough to have such a significant experience. we had to turn our backs so they could not see us die laughing

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  6 месяцев назад

      That was very nice with the hat. Lots of stairs to be sure. It was definitely along video, don't blame you for shutting it down after an hour or so! Lol 😆 Beautiful area. That's great about your son graduating and spending some time with him. Good memories. Thanks

    Im a local just on the outskirts of Savannah a few towns out… Savannah had always reminded me of Europe I grew up with cafes outdoors … cobblestone streets VERY OLD HISTORY compared to Savannah .its certainly a wonderful town to walk around in and truly beautiful …as a gardener it fills my soul yes quite a huge jump from the Alps and the snows to the Swamps and the heat but I’ve learned all locations have their own unique beauty… you have captured her in a wonderful video happy you were able to experience her maybe next visit we can meet and show you some Southern hospitality… stay safe stay blessed …

    • @bigtruckbigtravels

    Being a US Submarine Sailor, we did a lot of European Port Visits. My most rememberable visit was going to Bremerhaven Germany and visiting Bunker Valentine. It was a very remote, very secret German U Boat factory built by Jewish War Prisoners in the middle of the German Country Side. The Brits Discovered it and let them finish it just till they started building the first U Boats. Then the US and Brits bombed the hell out of it. As a US Submarine Sailor, It was an amazing tour and a permeant memory! The engineering and size of that structure was AMAZING! For a very interesting read, please GOOGLE it. The second time you turned the key on the smart car, I shouted "DEAD BATTERY!!!" My wife thought I had lost my mind! LOL! Any time you get a ton of random DTC Codes, weird messages and strange dash warnings, THINK BATTERY/POWER issue. Do you have a Dianostic Scanner for normal vehicles? I highly recommend getting one if you don't.

    Here is a thought on your new power pack/ jump start . Just something to know on a lot of those boxes . I know this is going to sound stupid BUT if your battery is completely completely dead a lot of those jump start boxes will not work. YOU HAVE GOT TO HAVE SOME POWER IN YOUR BATTERY YOU ARE TRYING TO JUMP START. So it take power to get power. That one may not be like that but there is a great chance that it is. Hope it works well for you if you need it. Thanks for your video’s. We went to Savanna five or six years ago an saw some of the stuff you saw . The boat you was pointing at while you was on the paddle boat. We have our pictures in front of it . Thanks

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
