  • We're here in Quartzsite but what do you do while in the desert boondocking? We find some great items to make our RV life much easier and better. More solar production too.
    We dump, we fill, we bike and we buy anniversary gifts...Mine is better than Sondra's. Fun time at the Big Tent and we're on the hunt! Can we find the one item?
    We are not Snow Birds but we do like nice warm weather and heading west is the best. We are going to do this trip a little differently by staying at a few different locations.
    Quartzsite is all about boondocking in the desert and a great place for an RV to winter.

    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 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.

    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 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

    Hi, new subscriber here. I really enjoy your channel…laidback, no drama and just every day stuff. I find it enjoyable, relaxing and simple plus you two are fun! There’s enough drama in the world. I love your rig..wow! It must be the biggest rig at quartzsite. I have a 45’ DP bus and kind of find it a little stressful to travel in due to its size. I might downsize next year to something around 33’ or so but we’ll see. Thanks for sharing and safe travels! 👍

    Those Carassonne games 42:39 are fun games to play with family if you want a good game. When we passed through Quartzsite last year, we did stop at the game store. When I watched RVerTV's video the solar awning would be something I would invest in. It would be something I would consider for our own travel trailer.

    • @bigtruckbigtravels

    Once again another great video. You guys are just so fun to watch and I had to laugh when Sondra was scrutiizing the cost for potato salad. I was trolling through the supermarket today, found 5 uncooked chicken thighs for $11.40. I then checked the price for a rotisseri chicken, which was $7.99! Guess what I bought! Proof Sondra, that we are two peas in a pod! LOL! But David, you missed the best joke opportunity when Sondra said she should receive another anniversary present. She set you up to say, "buy more stickers"! LOL!
    Seriously, thank you for all the hard work with the videos. So refreshing to watch two people who love to camp and don't muck up their videos with sponsorships and 10 minute commericials. Please keep up the good work! Look forward to watching every week and hope to some day see you on the road!

      It's a commercial grade soda fountain. The two main issues are (1) the chiller uses a LOT of power and is noisy and (2) the carbonator water tank is not used to a moving environment and the water level solenoid gets replaced every few years. Otherwise, pull the handle and soda pours out!

    Happy Anniversary you two! But I don't think the present swap was fairly equal lol. Interesting place, and I love AZ, CA desert, but I don't know if it would be for me (if I still had my RV) unless I had a side by side or dune buggy. The crowded shopping I could do without, but I'm sure I'd be at the grocery store more than enough. I can do that way too much here. However, it seems to be right up there for you guys and your rig especially. And I enjoy, as always, seeing you two no matter where you go and what you do. Delightful! And certainly entertaining! 😉 P.S. Don't know if I've mentioned this, but used to be Class A is out there in AZ! A known RV fellow YT'ber bought it from me, flew to VA and it still sits under cover out there. He bought a diesel pusher afterwards and decided to make that his baby. I've been tempted to offer to buy it back!
