The most expensive RV we've ever owned but it's our home. A completely custom RV semi-trailer that we designed and asked SpaceCraftmfg.com to build took 7 months. On our Big Rig's 4th birthday, we decided to share it with the community. We hope it's been worth the wait and you enjoy the full inside tour of our home. We designed this 5th wheel RV but Spacecraft Manufacturing built it.
Welcome. How big are we?
1 minute mark:
Welcome and begin the tour of our home. It's a completely custom RV built on a semi-trailer chassis.
5 minute mark:
A secret room in an RV? It's small but extremely hidden, in plain sight. Custom power recliners make TV viewing with surround sound a pure joy...when we get time from retirement fun! The solution for the center channel speaker is so cool as we incorporate it into a "secret drawer". The Harry Potter room as we call it.
8 minute mark:
We show you the kitchen fit for a chef along with plenty of storage. Lots of cabinets with pull out drawers, adjustable shelves, double sink, granite counter tops and heated tile floors. An appliance garage and slide out tray for the toaster oven make this a super unique home.
14:15 minute mark:
We show the incredible expanding table which seats two...no wait...four adults...and large enough to use for games and working on projects. Chairs for four to sit at the table, where do we store all this stuff? Plenty of storage available. A commercial grade soda machine along with Sondra sneaking a sip of Diet Coke. Also, meet the Beast, the chiller for the carbonated water.
17:15 minute mark:
The foyer or entranceway is important and has our shoe cubby. We enjoy the Hawaiian custom of removing one's shoes, but where to store them? We have a cool solution. And a great place to store and charge our Eufy (robot vacuum). A Dyson vacuum is in the closet as it charges on the wall. We also expose our cache of Whataburger foam cups. No judging! LOL. We explain our Firefly system and how we have a backup to insure we always have lights. This feels very residential.
22:30 minute mark:
We start to head into the bedroom and discover a unique barn door which doubles as an art display. A residential size queen bed with room to stand in the slide out and room on each side of the bed along with nightstand tables for each of us. Plenty of storage in the vanity and cabinets to house ALL of our t-shirts. No judging! LOL.
26:30 minute mark:
We head into the bathroom and discover the full size shower with over 7 feet of head room! Wow! That's unheard of in an RV...but this is a semi-trailer RV so there are more special items to be found. A custom one of a kind closet with a Splendide washer/dryer and a cool ironing board area sets this bathroom apart from any other. A hidden drying rack that pulls out for delicate clothing!
RV Living at it's best.

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.
If anyone started watching this video 2 minutes in they wouldn't even know it's a RV. What a beautiful home you have
Thank you very much. It definitely feels like a home to us and very residential. We love camping but when we come in from the campfire or hiking or enjoying the outdoors we want to come home. Thanks for the comment. Glad you're along on the journey. 😁
After viewing hundreds of RV interiors from many different RUclipsrs I have finally seen one where I can say "Yeah, that's comfy".
Well thought out and planned.
Final score: 10/10.
Love it.
Enjoy your content a lot, guys. Safe travels.
woohoo! 10/10! Thank you very much, Glen. We built it to live comfortably and not feel like we are on a cruise ship. Thanks for seeing that and we appreciate the fact you recognize the time we put in on the design phase. Thanks for the comments and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
@@bigtruckbigtravels IF I owned your trailer..... I think what I would like the most is that guests would know that they are sleeping on the floor, so overstaying the welcome is not on their options list 🤣🤣🤣
@@glentweedie602 lol... you got it!
@@bigtruckbigtravels Love your video except for the flickering lights. They're not healthy for our eyes and they even trigger seizures in some people. "People report having LED light headaches amongst other symptoms like sleep disruption, neurological issues, eye strain, fatigue and blurred vision. If you suffer from low concentration, this could also be a result of flickering lights in your room from various sources like digital screens and light bulbs."
Exactly. This one was so satisfying.
I nearly fainted when she said the fountain contained coke and Diet Coke. What a lovely couple. David sounds like a smart man after my own heart :)
Thank you very much. I'm not sure how smart I am...but I try to stay out of trouble, does that make me smart then!?! 😂😁 Sondra loves Diet Coke and uses our soda fountain machine quite often. Appreciate the comment.
Sondra, a wise old sage once told me that having more storage than you need is much better than needing more than you have.😁😁
So true, Larry. She's trying to fill the space but it's taking longer than she thought....she didn't realize all the storage that we built into Orion. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
Lol... thankfully Orion has the capacity to hold all this weight when I finally to fill it up! Thanks for the comment and watching! 😊
Sort of disagree haha! If we have the space it just gets filled with junk. Small space, limited storage means you are forced to make choices. 😀
I
I absolutely love this couple!! They're simple people (not in a mean way)!! I really like that they're in jeans, t-shirts and slippers!! This RV is totally mind blowing..so practical and truly beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks, Annette. We're very fortunate to be able to travel in this fashion. Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😊
I design custom sticks and bricks homes, "McMansions", for a living these past 30+ years and have to say the tremendous amount of thought and planning that went into designing your Spacecraft RV is nothing short of phenomenal. No space is wasted, unlike many of the homes I work on which have TONS of wasted space. I do not own an RV (yet), but have been researching RV manufacturers for years and Spacecraft came up in my radar quite some time ago, mostly because of their unique ability to customize their builds, as you have obviously done. I stand to inherit a modest (by today's wealth standards) sum at an unknown future date that will eventually fund my RV dreams. I have no idea how much, exactly, I stand to inherit, and so am keeping my future RV plans very modest, which rather quickly eliminated Spacecraft from my shortlist...among other customizable RV manufacturers. However, in my "ultimate dream" scenario, I'd have a set up much like yours, only difference being I'd garage a sassy little sports car (current choice a Miata) on the rear bed of my HDT rather than a SmartCar.
Anyway, great walk-thru, fantastic rig.
Thanks Lora, it was nearly 2 years in the making plus 8+ years of deciding on the floorplan and countless RV shows to get ideas. We appreciate you recognizing the efficiency of our design. It's home and we really enjoy it. In all the places we visit, we're never far from home. Thanks for the comment. Appreciate you watching the channel. 😊Have a great weekend.
A dream home on the road. You two thought of everything, clever storage, the ironing board one of my favorite items! So much to see and write about. Your living room so cozy, dreamy and warm feeling. I could write a novel regarding your home. You haven't forgot anything, in my opinion, to organize each space with careful, detailed planning! Great video and Thank you for sharing your home with us! Grateful!
Thank you so very much. I think the ironing board closet is my favorite part of our home too. Really appreciate your comments and glad you're along with us on the journey. 😊
What size is the flat screen TV in the living room
Came for the tour, stayed because of the endearing relationship 😊
Thank you so much, Alvin. We really appreciate the comment and your time watching the channel. We're very fortunate to be able to travel in this fashion.
Your "RV" is a comfortable, welcoming home that actually feels like a real home, not just a box on wheels. What you've done with it is amazing, graceful and tasteful. I live in a fairly nice apartment, but I'm jealous of your kitchen...it has about twice the counter space of my kitchen. What really makes it a great, livable place is the two of you; your talent, your wonderfully innovative ideas, your impeccable taste, and your hard work. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, Randy. We built it for full-time living...not a camper modified with a few "neat gadgets". It does truly feel like a home each time we enter. Really appreciate the kind comments and glad you're along with us on the journey. 😎😊
We love your home. It’s not just a RV. It’s a home. It looks like a home. It feels like a home to me. You guys are blessed greatly. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
Thank you so much, Annette! We enjoy this lifestyle and are very fortunate to live it.
This is by far the best build I've seen
Thank you, Charles. We are fortunate to be able to change our backyard with the seasons. Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃
Thank You for showing us your beautiful home, you guys have a great attitude, I bet you guys are a lot of fun to be around
Thank you very much. We try to enjoy life as it comes and take it all in with perspective of where we've been and how fortunate we are to be able to share it with you.
Hands down the best RV I've seen that looks like a home and not a robotic science project❤❤❤❤❤❤
🤣😊😁Thank you very much. We designed it for comfort and flexibility. We're very fortunate to be able to change our backyard with the seasons. Excited to have you along on the journey.
Thank you! Funny side note... we spec'ed out all the systems in this trailer for boondocking. And being an engineer, I can't help but use this trailer as a lab experiment, testing out all the different systems in different scenarios and tracking the results. 🤓
To me, the spice racks are the only way to go. Easy to see what and where they are instead of trying to find what you need in an upper cabinet. Love the soda machine. Never saw that feature before. The broom closet is a must have. WOW! The clothes drying rack is a great idea and should be in every camper. OMG, an ironing board too. You've thought of everything. That is a complete laundry center. I am amazed at how much you squeezed in the camper, yet it is so spacious. A well thought out and resourced planned home.
Thanks, Kathy. It was 2 years in the making but we're happy with the result. Sondra loves the soda machine and I think the washer/dryer/ironing board/clothes rack closet is my favorite feature. Very cool. Really appreciate your comments and glad you're along with us on the journey. 😊
I love so many things in your home. The laundry set up is genius, and that drying rack is something every RV should have! Having that adjustable table changed my mind about even having a table. I was leaning toward a bar with stools. You two are very clever and I really loved the tour. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you so much. We attended a lot of RV shows and made notes on all the items we liked and tried to incorporate them into our build. We really like the flexibility of so many of these features. We're so glad you enjoyed it and hope that you can get some benefit from us sharing our RV floorplan. Thanks for the comment. Appreciate you watching the channel. 😊Have a great weekend.
What a unit! Very well planned and designed.
Thanks, Craig. We enjoyed the process of design. I think Space Craft was glad to get rid of us! 🤣
It’s a dream. So gorgeous. You have made this camper beautiful. This is now my favorite of EVERY ONE I’ve ever seen. Great job. Gives me incentive.
Wow! Thanks Debra. I am speechless. We love it and enjoy living in it for sure. Thanks for the comments and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
Ah Great Thanks! What a neat rig. Love all the personal details you added. One thing we did with ours was do all wireless sound. No battery draw, just make sure they are charged and they last for a long time. Best part is I can move stuff around and it’s relatively compact. Looking forward to seeing the guts of the system.
That's a great system. I like the no power draw.
I just want to thank you for inspiring me to dream bigger. This is absolutely insanely gorgeous! I love me some creature comforts and can see myself living this way!
You are so welcome! It's home.
That's a beautiful home, I can't say tiny home. This is spacious and beautiful
Thank you. We enjoy the ability to change our backyard with the seasons.
No sacrifices at all, you have everything you need and more, this is crazy you're living the dream
We're very fortunate and appreciate each day. Thank you
I would not change one thing about this beautiful home. PERFECT! Can't wait to see more videos.
Thank you, Mary. We'll be coming at you with more each week. More of our travels this week and coming up for the summer we're heading to Alaska. Really appreciate your comments and glad you're along with us on the journey. 😊
I'm a big fan of the channel, reason why I watched this video was out of curiosity, because I wandered what the inside of the RV looked like. I don't like "tour" videos because I've gotten too were I get so sick and tired of the word "Storage" people tend to overuse that word so much it makes me cringe.
All in all you all have a beautiful RV I can't help but to be a little jealous.
In closing keep living the dream, safe travels. Love y'all.
Thanks Mz Yvette and sorry for Sondra mentioning "storage" about 50 times! 😯🤣😁We tried to have a practical, thoughtful design that would be comfortable long term but also allow us the freedom to camp anywhere. Glad you're along with us on the journey. Appreciate your comments and thanks for watching the channel. 😎😁
Hey MzYvette. I was sooo nervous doing this video as I'm not a fan of being in front of the camera - I belong behind one! I tried so hard not to say "custom" that I ended up saying storage and sewing way too much. We had a very limited amount of time to film this and no time to re-shoot once we saw it. 🙄
Thanks for your understanding and watching the Channel. 😊
This is one of the most well thought of home on wheels. It has everything a stationary home has. The design and layout is beautiful. It well put together very spacious. Wow beautiful
Thank you for noticing the residential touches appreciating the thought during the design phase. Thanks for the comments and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
Oh, I myself love love it. like
a mansion in a truck, so spacious and roomy. I also adore all the hidden space where you can tuck away stuff, etc, for it won't be all over the place. Oh, I love when she said, "Let's go upstairs, and it was just a step up separared from the floor of the other rooms.thanks so much for bringing us along.💜
You're very welcome. We're glad you joined us on the tour. Really appreciate your comments and glad you're along with us on the journey. 😊
Congratulations Sondra and Dave you already reached the 10K milestone. Glad to see that David still didn't get his nothing trip. What a special treat you are giving us this week. I loved seeing all the hidden features inside your beautiful home. Very calm and comforting enjoy for many years to come, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Hans. So much for breaking out the good stuff on a zoom! It happened so fast that we were caught off guard! Really, really appreciate your hanging out with us. Your comments mean a lot to us and we don't take that for granted. The design was 2 years in the making and a lot of RV shows! 😊🤣Really appreciate your comments and glad you're along with us on the journey. 😊

Very nice! I love how it is tailored to your needs. Also, it is refreshing to see the beautiful color of your wood work. I love the cabinet color. When it seems that everyone is going white, I prefer that lovely caramel colored brown.
Thank you. It has aged over the years to the color it is now. We like it and how the natural wood shows.
Watching this at 11:40 on march 1st. Happy 5 years of this beautiful home! Safe travel and big dreams!
Thanks so much! Good memory! 5 years to the day! Hard to believe we've been in it that long.
Thankyou for inviting us into your home, I must say I'm jealous. I had all these plans for when I retired, well needless to say things change. I hope your living your best life and GOD BLESS YOU
You are so welcome! We really appreciate your time watching the channel and excited to have you along on the journey. Sorry your plans took a detour... but we're kind of fun to hang with!
@bigtruckbigtravels Thankyou so much for your response.
Every time you say that it is a cool drawer and it blows my mind all the cool features that I am going to put in mine. Thanks for sharing.
Nice! That's why we love to share our experiences so that others may benefit in their own path. Really appreciate your comments and glad you're along with us on the journey. 😊
WOW! What a great design job you’ve done. Future RVers should not see this great walk before they shop, because they will not be satisfied with any floor plan currently on the market. Weight was not mentioned but I would guess somewhat heavier than traditional fifth wheels. Beautifully planned and built. Happy safe travels for many years to come.
Thank you so much. We put a lot of thought into it. We are significantly heavier at 42,000 lbs for the trailer. The pin weight is 13,000 lbs.
Absolutely gorgeous there's so much going on I can't tell you my favorite , Love it! thank you so much for the tour of your home, stay safe!
Thank you so much! We enjoyed sharing it and hope that it benefits others who are thinking about this lifestyle or who want to get idea's on better RVing. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for coming along on the journey. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
WOW, great video, beautiful home, looking forward to the Under the Hood! Thanks again
Well, Brian. It's coming in a few weeks. We'll explore Voyager and then get into the systems for Orion. It's very cool and gives us tons of flexibility. I think we are the only RV that has a power system rigged the way we do. Appreciate your comments and thanks for watching the channel. 😎😁
What life is about! Love! Travel! Living! Very inspirational. Great content. ✨😇✨
Yes! Thank you! Thank you. We love the ability to change our backyard with the seasons and are very fortunate to be able to be comfortable while camping. Appreciate your time watching the channel.
That is THE neatest junk drawer I have ever seen! Love your home!!!
I know, Chris... I have issues! I do enjoy an organized and neat drawer/shelves. 🤣😎 Thanks for the comment and appreciate your time watching the channel. 😁
I am so happy for you both! You home is wonderful and you seem like truly warm people. I wish you many many years and miles of happiness!!
Thank you, Dale. We enjoy it and are fortunate we're able to share our experiences with everyone. Appreciate your time watching the channel.
Wow wow very Nice thks for the tour Nice home
Its not your first rv well plan on everything love you guys cheers
Thank you, Sylvain. Yes, we did a lot of research and really loved our first floor plan but felt that the production type trailer could not handle our travel style/miles. Thus, the upgrade to our current one. We appreciate your sharing in the journey with us. 😎
I love that every cabinet has lights! Good for you!!
Thank you Barb for the comment and watching the channel. Sondra has to be able to see so the lights were critical in their placement. Appreciate your time watching the channel. See you next week.
You have a beautiful home, the best Spacecraft home I have seen.
Thanks. We love it and think it's the best. It's a comfortable home that we can live in for years. Glad you're along with us on the journey. Appreciate your comments and thanks for watching the channel. 😎😁
@@bigtruckbigtravels The more I have watched your videos I have caught on to your personalities and jokes. It is very nice to see a couple that can do a gentle zinger and at the same time show they deeply love each other. I did not catch that at first. You really do have a beautiful home. Stay safe and healthy.
@badgerpa5480 I like the term, gentle zingers! Thanks for the kind words.
What a beautiful and well thought out living space. I love all the details and storage, everything has its place. It is homey and elegant all at the same time. Thank you for welcoming us in. We wish you many years of happy, safe travels in your beautiful coach. ❤.
Thank you sooo much, Melinda. We thoroughly enjoy it and feel very fortunate to be able to live this lifestyle. We're glad we could share it with you. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
Out of all the ones I have seen, this one is my favorite! I would copy it in a heartbeat ☺️
Thanks, Jenna. We're fairly partial to it ourselves! 😯😁😍We think ours is the best for fulltime living and the most well laid out...but I think everyone is partial to their own rig. LOL. Glad you're along on the journey. Thanks for the comment. 😁
NOW THIS IS WHAT I CAN DO, THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT...I WILL LIVE IN THIS WITH NO PROBLEM I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE.
Thank you. We love living in this unit. As our home, we can take it anywhere and be super comfy. Appreciate your comments and watching the channel.
This is the most beautiful RV and the wood just makes it for me. Every space very thought out. The bathroom is perfect . If I could have one it would be exactly like this! Gorgeous and very home like ❤️
Thanks, Maggie. Our home and lifestyle is definitely not for everyone but we love it. Glad you're along with us on the journey. 😊
Wow YALLS rig is amazing , can’t wait to see y’all’s Alaska trip. We were at Ft Richardson for 3 years near Anchorage from 77-80. Loved the summer. Safe travels.
LOL. Summer in Alaska is great and that's why we're heading south come September! Glad you're along on the journey. Thanks for the comment. 😁
Thanks for the comment Georgeana! Wow! That must have been an amazing experience living up in Alaska. We visited there in 2017 and loved it so much we have to go back. 😍
Very nice. Thanks for inviting us into your home.
You're very welcome, Keith. Glad you're along with us on the journey. Appreciate your comments and thanks for watching the channel. 😎😁
I have so many of these types of clips I've lost count! THIS, this one is by far my favourite!! And they seem like such a nice couple. One's that you don't actually mind being neighbours with. 🎉
Thank you so much. We try to be good stewards of the RV lifestyle and that means being good neighbors, follow the rules and respect others property. Appreciate your time watching the channel.
Nice setup, it is quite the home on wheels. We've been waiting for the grand tour, thanks for sharing this and all of your content.
Thanks. It took us awhile but we're glad we were able to share it. It's great that you're along on the journey with us. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
My first time visiting guys yours is the FIRST and only spacecraft I've seen that I like your rig is BEAUTIFUL thanks for sharing I can't wait to watch more
Welcome aboard! Thank you 😊
Nice Design and Job. I can tell you two really enjoy making these videos. Probably as much as I enjoy watching. Safe Travels
Thanks, Mike. We are so glad that you are along with us on the journey. We enjoy sharing our experiences and hope others can benefit from it. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
You folks are just delightful -thank you for sharing your fabulous home. It gave me a lot of ideas for storage and what to look for in our next rig. Thank you.
Thank you. Glad you could get something out of the channel.
I am impressed with what you have accomplished for your house. Very well executed. And with all the storage it has become a really useful living area for a couple, albeit a lavish one with an impressive size for road use. Can't wait to see the truck and the solutions for that vehicle. Good job! It so deserves a thumbs up from me.
Thank you so much. It's definitely not a "stealth unit" nor is it to everyone's taste but it's home and we are grateful to be able to travel as we do in retirement. The truck tour will be out in a week. Glad your'e along on the journey. Appreciate the comments. Thanks for watching. 😊
Looks like I would really "feel" and "be" comfortable. I could relax and enjoy myself in that setting better than most. Feng shui is well done.
It is a very pleasant and peaceful setting. Especially when we are camped out in the desert or a forest or by a body of water. Most serene and calming for sure. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
WOW just beautiful, this is the video I’ve been waiting for. Thanks for all the work you do in putting these videos together.
You are so welcome. We enjoy sharing so that it may benefit others in their quest to fulltime or travel. Appreciate your comments and thanks for watching the channel. 😎😁
You will LOVE Alaska.... I will keep an eye out for you in Homer!! Don't miss that area!!!!! Safe travels!!!!
We are so looking forward to it, Lori. We're going to try to get to Deep Creek and Anchor Point in that area. Thanks 😊
I think you are my long lost sister! I'm an avid creative journaler too. You simply can't travel without Washi! Love the storage ideas. We're still in the planning phases of going FT. But Spacecraft is in the top three of our manufacturers we are looking at.
Hey Wild & Free! 🥰😍🥰😍
We started full-timing January 2016 and I didn't start Journaling until September
2020 when our daughter introduced me to it. My ONLY regret with our life is I wasn't Journaling from the start of full-timing. 😭
I probably would have designed the desk area a little differently to hold more Washi! Oh, there is the most amazing scrapbook store (Legacy Creations) in downtown Concordia MO about 3 miles from SpaceCraft. 🤩
Wow a beautiful trailer it's awesome very smart design ya it's a job to keep it clean you just take one room at a time take care happy camping
Thanks, James. Yep, one section at a time...little 10-15 minute tasks every day and we can keep it up nicely...except when we boondock in the desert then the dust needs a little more time and effort!
Love the wooden cabinetry. Really makes it look homely.
Thanks, Phil. There are so many styles out there and everyone has their preferences for sure. We like the natural feeling of wood and it does feel more homey for us. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment. Glad you're along on the journey.😊
Makes it look like my parent's 70's brown panelled family room.
I think there's too much wood.
Wow! Loved your home tour. I think the bathroom was my favorite! Especially the drying rack and ironing board. Thanks for all of your sharing,
Shawna, we're on the same page! I think overall the bathroom and all the features is our favorite room as well. Glad you're along on the journey. Thanks for the comment. 😁
We saw you on the freeway in Vegas on Monday, March 4, 2024 and ironically just came across this video! We were visiting Vegas from North Pole, Alaska.
Oh wow! We were in North Pole this summer. Small world. That's too funny about seeing us on the road and then the video you stumbled across. Hope you enjoyed it. We did quite a few videos on our Alaska trip.
yea it's not a coincidence. big corpo brother is spying on your location
this is by far the best rv ive seen theres so much storage not a cramp could be seen
Thanks Jadel, we enjoy it. We're very fortunate to be able to enjoy this lifestyle. Appreciate your watching the channel.
Beautiful coach, but the wife really likes that door window stained glass looking artwork. Is it something special, or an appliqué?
Hey Mike. I was wondering who was going to ask about that! We got it down in Mexico at Los Algodones. It's stained glass made for the RV window in the door. They have probably over 100 different designs but it is actual stained glass. It's a nice touch and has been in the door for all 4 years. Thanks for the comment. Appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
What an impressively beautiful, luxurious home you have! I am especially impressed with your pull-out ironing board. I'm gonna look for the video with the backstory on that unique stovetop.
😆 thanks for watching the channel. The stove top was very unique. That cabinet with the washer/dryer is about the coolest feature in our house. Thanks for watching.
Wow, I love that 5th wheel. If I wasn’t a lone traveler, I’d get a 5th wheel like yours. I think it would be too hard parking and whatnot as a lone driver, therefore I have to go class A or super C with the 360 degree cameras. Your house is so homey and the honey colored cabinets really make it Pop with a warm glow.
Doing this alone in our rig would be a definite challenge. We have a few friends who solo in a big rig and it is difficult at times for them. I think the Class A or Super C is the right choice. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
Thanks so much for sharing with us the inside of Orion! Very appreciated! 👍
Thanks and you're very welcome Marco. We love sharing our ideas and experiences and in this case, our home. We hope that it benefits others in some way. Glad you're along with us on the journey. Appreciate your comments and thanks for watching the channel. 😎😁
Very nice 👌, can't wait for the next video for down below 😆
Thanks, Larry. We didn't want to cram too much into this tour so we broke it out. The "guy" stuff will be fun in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the comments and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
Very nice and well thought out design. It's beautiful. Alot of little personal touches, but practical. Thank you for the tour. Travel safe and be well.
Thanks, Joe. We wanted it to be comfortable and practical but also flexible to allow us to camp wherever we fit. It does it all very well. Appreciate your comments and thanks for watching the channel. 😎😁
Beautiful home! Thank you for showing and sharing with us!!
You're very welcome, Jenny. We're glad you're along on the journey with us. Thanks for the comment. Appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
I love every inch of it. There is nothing that I would want different. This has always been a dream of mine to live like this. 10/10 for me also. So comfy.
Thanks for the high rating, Linda. We set out to design and build a home we could be comfortable in and I think we achieved that goal. Thanks for the comment and appreciate your time watching the channel. 😁
Awesome. A dream home, wheels or not. Cheers from Canada
Aloha, Gary. Thank you very much. We love our home and built it to feel like home wherever we park it. We're very fortunate. Thanks for the comment. Appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
Love all the storage. I do a lot of baking so I would need an oven installed somewhere in the kitchen. Those little drop down drawers are generally used for storing sponges and scrubbers used for cleaning. Usually a little larger one can be found under most kitchen sinks.Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome and thanks for the comments. Our microwave doubles as a convection oven and works great for us. Sondra bakes cookies, muffins and has cooked a 15 lbs turkey in it as well. Understand about the oven though because ours does have limitations.
Very very well designed and constructed. 42k#s - no wonder you have an HDT. Will there be a follow up video showing us the outside?
LOL...oh yeah. The HDT in our case is not a "nice to have" vehicle but rather a "need to have"! The follow up in a couple of weeks will be the outside and "under the skirt" showing the infrastructure and what makes Orion tick...and keep Sondra happy! 🤣😎Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
The best part of Orion is what you don't see! Thanks for the comment and watching the Channel Seawolf. 😊
What a lovely tour- so many things to make your home on the road comfy‼️👍😊
Thanks, Linda. It's home and we enjoy it. Nice to be able to change our backyard with the seasons.
Another great video, and a well done tour.
Glad you enjoyed it. We're thankful we can share our experience so that others may benefit in some way. Love having you along on the journey with us. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
I very much look forward to your videos. You have done a wonderful job designing your home.Your very entertaining and always put a smile on my face.
Thanks, Wayne. It was 2 years in the making but turned out real well. Very pleased. Really appreciate your comments and glad you're along with us on the journey. 😊
Thank you very much great tour your RV.
You're very welcome, Louis. Glad you enjoyed it and we're happy that you are sharing in the journey. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
I love your rig. This is the 2nd time I have seen the tour. My wife and I are new to the RV world and can't wait to get out in our little Della Terra 271BH. HAS BEEN IN WARRANTY REPAIRS since purchase in April 2024. We have learned much from your adventures. Keep up the great videos
Thank you. That's terrible about the repairs and the amount of time it's taking but hopefully, all will be good when you get it. Be safe. See you next week.
Beautiful Home ❤ can’t wait for your next video
Thanks, Tiffany. Next week...it's probably going to be just as long as this one but with a lot more wildlife and cool drone shots. Glad you're along on the journey and sharing it with us. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
The best ‘Craft of Space’ I have seen. A ton of though in design and practical use of space. I’m envious of the amount of storage you have. A REAL home on wheels. Katja and I want to convoy with you guys at some point. We’ll done!!!
Hey Andrew- Thanks for the compliment but your rig is a definite head turner and boondock beast! Haven't heard from you in a while, I trust you guys are doing well. I hope the trailer is getting finished for you. That would be super cool to convoy and camp with you guys...somewhere in the desert far from the madding crowds. 🤣Appreciate the comments and thanks for watching the channel. Safe Travels. Let's get out there sometime!
Thank you very much Andrew! 😊 can't wait to go boondocking with you guys and put YOUR beast to the test! 🤩
Beautiful!!
Living the dream!!
Thanks, Terri. We are and feel very fortunate to be able to enjoy it and share with others. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
Big Truck, big video.
Instead of an hour with commercials, I read the transcript.
Did I miss anything... beside chit-chat?
😆 We don't do mid-roll ads. We aren't sponsored so you won't see us hawking anything that you simply "must buy". Since you didn't watch it then you missed the coolest room, our bathroom! Really neat features and it's well designed. It's a tour so the only "chit-chat" is my wife explaining the unique features of our home. But, I understand your reticence to committing 40 minutes of your life on a RUclips video. We're a different channel. It's not a business for us. Just our travels. Thanks for reading... 😆
Thanks for the tour of your Spacecraft RV! It is very well designed and looks so comfy! I wish you many more years of making memories.
Thanks, Mary. Glad you enjoyed it and excited you are along with us on the journey. Thanks for the comments and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
I think you guys stayed at our campground in north Georgia this last winter/really early spring maybe. Your rig and smart car were ALL the talk. Seriously so impressed by how beautiful your home is.
Thank you so very much for your time watching the channel. We love our home and it's amazing where we can travel. We really enjoy the Georgia area and spent several weeks in Savannah. Oh... yes, we're not very stealthy so we are the talk "around the water cooler" in most places we visit. Appreciate your comments.
I'm almost scared to ask how much was this big boy cost??
Connie, it was a very shiny nickel for sure. It's much less than a comparable Prevost or Foretravel. Our full rig is less than $650K, of course, that was 4+ years ago and the replacement costs would be significantly more. Glad you're along on the journey. Thanks for the comment. 😁
Just saw your channel today. And we've watched 4 episodes in a row. You 2 are fun & your rig is great! Happy travels
Thanks, Jennifer. So happy to be found! Lol. Excited you're along on the journey. 😊
A warm and inviting, innovative home. Great job you two. Cheers from snowy Maine !
Thank you very much! Brrrr....my sister used to live in Hanover, NH and I remember it getting cold and snowy! Mt Washington has some incredible weather at the top. I've thought about hiking the AT and thus have read a bit about Mt Katahdin and Baxter SP. Wow. We want to get up into your neck of the woods in the future and even continue on into Nova Scotia and PEI. Stay warm up there. Thanks for the comment. Appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
Two of my cousins went to school in Hanover. New England is best in Sept. & Oct. The Maritimes have much the same climate. I was born in N.B. raised outside of Boston Mass. and always summered in coastal Maine. Have local friends who are heading to Alaska this summer. I have ordered a Mile Post for them as a bit of encouragement. Nova Scotia is a gem. We have been in all seasons. Sorry to take up so much of your time. Keep in touch and look forward to your Alaska adventure #2. My best to you both, Jim
PS -12 -14 inches of snow due tomorrow. Stay warm.@@bigtruckbigtravels
@jps1139 hey Jim, oh boy, 12-14 inches?!? 😳 That is no bueno for this guy. Enjoy the warmer weather too much. We have plans to get up to NS and NB in the future. The challenge will be campgrounds but I understand many could handle our size. Thanks for the comments. 😃
@@bigtruckbigtravels We have never owned an RV but had considered it ,so looked into places to stay. We go to the Maritimes two or three a year and the Canadian RV of choice seems to be the Fifth Wheel . Big ones from the western provinces smaller ones from the east coast. We have a lot of twisty /curvy roads and some not the smoothest in the world. Have you considered bringing the new rig. That we be no issue and you would have the jeep to tour around in. In the northeast there are potholes that could swallow the smart car. The Trans Canada Highway is fine for the most part but some of the interesting side roads can make your teeth rattle. Also some or the hidden gems for camping and sightseeing would be a little snug for Orion. I will pay more attention on future visits with you in mind. Great to have the option that just might give you the peace of mind needed. If you have any questions , fire away. Jim
@@jps1139 Thanks, Jim. The first trip will probably be the Class C with the Jeep to sort of scout out some areas. But we will bring the Big Rig up to NS/NB at some point to enjoy and travel in that part of the country. Thanks for checking on some camping areas. We appreciate it.
Very beautiful and homey looking best RV tour I have seen. You guy's did a fantastic job on designing and decorating your home. And I love the idea that everything has a place with no clutter at all. All I can say is it's beautiful.
Thank you so much, Katherine! We love our home and we enjoy the ability to change our backyard with the seasons.
Beautiful trailer. Well thought out in your planning
Thanks, Jeff. LOL...A LOT of planning for sure. The result was worth it. Thanks for the comment. Appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
That’s really cool. This is for me like a real home and wheels. Keep having a good memories and the most important thing. Just be safe all the time.
Thank you. It's our home and we're very fortunate to be able to share our experiences with everyone.
You can really tell that you guys thought every aspect through on each spot. Wonderful rig. Thank you for the tour.
Thanks Daniel. It was two years in the making...but I think we got it right. Glad you're along on the journey. Thanks for the comment. 😁
That's a awesome 5th wheel and what is amazing, you both thought exactly everything out to your needs in every situation possible 😀, thanks for your video of how to make camping 🏕 a very enjoyable experience year around 😊
I'm actually from Elkhart, Indiana where everything is made at,for the camping 🏕 experience 😊
Lol... then, Kenneth, you definitely know about the camping experience and all that goes into it! We visited the area several times to get our DRV serviced in Howe. We appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃
You know that, this is actually the most likely last thing, that is totally made in America and I take really good pride in saying that for myself, being in the Rv industry here, the only thing in your RV,that's not made in the United States is all of the electronic technology, even the range and refrigerator is made in America, so you can take pride explaining that, if someone would not agree with your way of living from here to there, and believe me, I truly envy you both!! Thanks for seeing your dreams come true 👍
@kennnethrohm4448 that's a great point! I never thought of that before. Thank you!
Oh my! You have a lovely home.
You can tell a great deal of thought and planning went into your home.
Safe travels and good health.
Thanks, Curt. About 18 months worth prior to the actual build. Probably more than that as we had to decide on the initial floor plan. Glad you're along with us on the journey. Appreciate your comments and thanks for watching the channel. 😎😁
Just fund your RUclips channel, today and love the content, inspiring. I did 3 years of free camping in Australia and just loved the journey and the people I met. For whatever reason, I had someone, rear-end my car, he was talking on his phone and did not even stop for the red light. So almost 5 years later, multiple hospital visits, surgery, insurance, (which was the worst of the drama), I am still very limited. Again love the content and really inspires me to get back out on the road and experience "The Journey".
Wow! Sounds like a great experience... but a terrible accident. Hope you're getting back into the swing of things. We'd love to get to Australia. Thank you for watching the channel. 😁
I've been waiting on this video for about a year 😁
LOL...we thought about you while we were planning this and finishing it up. Hope you like it and glad you're along on the journey with us. Aloha 😎
What a joyful couple. The husband complements the wife and the wife and vice versa. I love you all, dynamics.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate your gracious comments.
I love the mutual respect you have for your wife and the same care she has for you. I need to take classes with you both. Thanks for being so authentic and so accurate about RV Camping life. I love your videos.
@@bigtruckbigtravels My pleasure!
Wow! Thank you for sharing. What a stunning home, hard to believe it’s on wheels but sums up how spectacular the residence is. To think you have the opportunity to travel wherever your heart desires and you're always in the comfort of your beautiful homemade home! Wishing you both all the happiness and joy in your future travels. PS You're living my dream 🫶
Thank you so much, Debra. We love having you along on the journey and able to share in the sights and sounds of our travels. Let's get out there and see what's next! Appreciate your comments. 😊
Thanks so much for the tour of your fantastic home. Love what yall have done. I was really excited have my curiosity satisfied. Can't wait to see the inter workings.
Well Bryan, in a few weeks we'll explore Voyager and it's systems to support Orion while boondocking as well as get into the inner workings of Orion. It's pretty cool and we have a lot of flexibility along with a very unique power usage profile. Appreciate your comments and thanks for watching the channel. 😎😁
Thanks Bryan. The interior workings are the best part of the rig! 😊
Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for the comments and appreciate you watching the channel. 😊
That is the best design i have ever seen. 10/10. And the presentation was amazing.
Thank you very much! It was 2 years in the design phase, several more of research and 7 months to build it. Whew! Glad you enjoyed it! I love getting 10/10! 😃
You both are such a sweet couple. My folks RV’d for decades and I would go with them on numerous trips. Dad tried to teach me so much on the workings of the motor home but I don’t retain a lot if I don’t put what I learned to practice. We were on the South Padre, TX beach one trip. My Dad was bored out of his mind and said, ‘do you want to go to FL?’ I was all in for that. We have very dear friends there. I said ‘Absolutely!’ Dad said, ‘great, go tell your Mother.’ She and I were the beach lovers! She was so disappointed but said ok. We had stayed the maximum beach camping so we were having to move anyway. You both remind me so much of them. Happy travels and be safe.
We love to camp on the beach at Port Aransas, Texas. That sounds like a very fun and exciting trip, driving into the unknown on a moments notice. Great memories and thanks for the comments. It sounds like we are in good company. 😍
This may be the most beautiful RV I have ever seen!! Great video!
Thanks, Thom. We love our home and we're very fortunate to be able to change our backyard with the seasons.
