    Awesome video, so glad to see you enjoying the fruition of your hard work.
    I love that sound of that Detroit, nothing else like it. That is so neat to have an air chuck inside the Motorhome. I liked the way you decorated the inside with your oil and lease signs. I have a few those in my house. That was so cool how you opened the door to eastern Colorado, reminds me of Dorothy opening the door of her Kansas home and entering OZ.
    You've got it made buddy. Thanks for taking us along....happy travels to you my friend.

    @ruben_balea 2 года назад +3

    Looks great, it even seems made by someone who knew what he was doing 😁but for me the best thing is a two stroke diesel under the bed, here in Spain, or at least where I live, only Terex front loaders and motor graders of a few brands had those, to me those engines always sounded better than racing motorcycles, it's been like 20 years since I've seen one running 😥
    Don't trust that "smart" TV too much, it's actually just as dumb as the ones from 20 years ago but it also spies on you like all other "smart" devices.

  • @un-limited7009
    @un-limited7009 2 года назад +2

    Wow Excellent engineering. Probably the best. I wanted to mention. I broke out in Drilling in 1983 on a brand new Continental Emsco Rig Long Beach Ca. Made in Japan. We did 3 reedrills along the 710 Freeway Down Town Long Beach called the Hog Troff so to work the bugs out of it. Then we moved Her to Island Freeman and She is probably still there. Called T-9. The good old day's Throwing Chain and all that Fun Stuff. I appreciate your videos and I haven't watched TV for more than half my Life. Just RUclips & Netflix no Commercials of course. Thanks Zach. IDECO Rigs were Built in Huston Texas if I remember right. Later

  • @BlindmanValley
    @BlindmanValley 2 года назад +2

    Nice job man, really nice. I’m not much of a TV person either but the woman gets into it once in a while and the GrandMonster needs her cartoons lol. So I bought a small projection unit and a remote screen that’s 8 feet wide. When the screens up I have a Bateman hanging on the wall, then when they want the TV a push of the button and down comes the screen. I usually just put a laptop on the table and HDMI cord from it to the projector and voila .. TV for them. Takes 5 min to set up or put away. I also found by not seeing a TV hanging on the wall they seem to forget about watching TV more. Just my .02
    Keep up the content fellow rig pig.

  • @kc033056

  • @oldtownvids

    Nice truck/camper! I think you are near one of the oldest towns in Colorado, with a neat building just east of the main road. I live in Craig (NW) Colorado and I like to travel through that area when I get the chance. Last time I went through there I ended up driving back a Suzuki Samurai I bought in a town south of the mountain behind you. Interesting videos, keep them coming!

    Congrats on gettin' 'er done! Excellent video, thanks for sharing. Here's a mediocre idea for your smart TV -- put a road facing camera on the dash of the cockpit and when a passenger is up walking around, making a pizza, or grinding some coffee beans, they too can watch the road, Sure, you can pull the curtain and see the road.....
