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.
I get my music from:
Epidemicsound.com

Outta Here by Jennifer Holm (intro song)
America the Beautiful by Traditional
Against the Conspiracy by Bonnie Grace

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.

Sorry about the mistake on Garden of the Gods but @k-mparker reminded me that it was actually Valley of the Gods in Utah which is correct. Appreciate your understanding and I hope everyone enjoys this little tribute to the places we've been fortunate to visit prior to our journey together with the channel. Happy Independence Day and be safe. See you next week!
Thank you for sharing, thank you for caring. As a veteran, I believe we are not forgotten. So as we celebrate independence, remember all that have fallen, all that have served, and all that injoy the freedom's we have.
IN GOD WE TRUST.
God bless America!!! Happy Independence Day! Thank you to all the men and women who have fought for our freedom!
🎉 Happy Independence Day 🎉 !! Salute to those who serve and who have served and sacrificed their lives for America.
Thank you. We appreciate those who serve.
America the Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Happy Independence Day. Semper Fi my dear Patriotic friends. It is those like you that made it all worth fighting for.
Well said and thank you so very much. We appreciate it more than you know.
What an awesome shirt David... That's how you represent our great state...
Oh yeah. Love Texas.
My hubby has a shirt like that.
Love the shirt. Love my state. I have a shirt like that but different style.
You have an amazing archive of our beautiful country. God bless America!
Thank You for sharing! Thank You to our servicemen. God Bless America! Happy July 4th.
Happy 4th of July. Beautiful country and thank you for showing it off. Salute to all of the fallen and what sacrifice they made for this country. Semper Fi to all the veterans and active who serve.
Love you Guys..Have a great day...❤
You too, thank you. 😊
I feel so fortunate to live in the U.S. without our veterans and Current Military serving, circumstances certainly could be different. Thank you to my dad who was in 3 major battles in Europe in WWII, my husband Who was so lucky, (he said with sarcasm) to be one of the last to be drafted during Vietnam Nam, and all those who heed the call. We are the beneficiaries of their sacrifices. This weekend,unfortunately is the 2nd anniversary of my husband’s passing, my 48 years with him was an adventure most will never experience. (Gosh dam, we were babies when we tied that knot, what a ride) probably another reason I enjoy you two bantering back and forth. This video had many memories for me as I/we have visited many of those beautiful parks. Crater Lake and the Coast Redwoods are my favorites. Me and Oreo, my pup, are ready to load the rv and hit the road real soon. Safe travels and Happy 4th of July America 🇺🇸❤️🚗
