These pusher are way more comfortable and easy to drive than a lot of people think. Putting in hours behind the wheel in the captain's chair is amazing and not exhausting
Sounds pleasant.
Yes indeed, I agree with ya skbenwa!
You are an amazing driver I love a man who is respectful and know how to do anything fix anything
Thank you Empress World!!
Haven’t seen the two of you in a while, missing your posts. Glad to see you’re back.
Hey Patricia, we have some newer videos out, have you caught up yet? :). Thanks for watching.
What an awesome and fun video and informative too! We have a Class “A” as well (V10), we thought about upgrading to a diesel pusher but couldn’t justify it. We’re weekend warriors and it has a great number of amenities that we love. We travel very well and camp even better. Yeah, I agree that different road conditions will yield completely different rides but the quality of your rig will determine how you’ll handle it.
I appreciate your content and I’m always waiting for the video!
Awesome! Thank you Mike! Glad you guys are enjoying your RV!
We just got a Class A! So glad I found this video.
Excellent work! I felt like I was literally riding with you. Thanks for showing us the trailer cargo as well, that was a nice surprise. Also enjoyed seeing how Clay works because my husband and I would love to live a similar lifestyle while I work remotely. Love to you both 💕
Thank you Elegant Lady! Traveling in this set up has really been helpful for Clay as she works remotely. Let us know if you we can help in the future with any questions you may have.
@@TollesonLife thank you so much for the response. I am curious about internet and what have you found to be the most reliable connection?
@@elegantlady8312 We use the Pepwave Max Transit Router. While actually on the road we use our phone service (Verizion sim card) in the router. We do loose signal as we top some of these tall mountains but overall that has worked well for us. We also make sure the RV park we are staying in is covered by verizon's network or has a decent wifi that our Pepwave can connect to. Hope that helps.
Thank you. Like the view from driver perspective. You guys are natural speakers.
Thank you S Tea! We appreciate you watching!
Thanks, I always wonder how it was to travel in a Class A. Thanks!
You bet!
Through this video, I was able to vividly experience the charm of traveling in a Class A campervan.
It's really cool to see such a large camping car running.
I am also traveling around the country in a camping car in Korea.
So, I would like to hear your story in the future.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your husband must have been a 18 wheeler driver. Enjoy and be safe. I am going to enjoy riding with y'all on videos. That's one driving view my mouth is open wide, inclines. 😮😮😮
👍
Love the video. We have a Class A gasser and last month headed to DC from Illinois travelling through the Appalachian mountains. The coach handled fine going up and down the mountains even towing a heavy seven passenger SUV. Then engine and trans are up front so at times, it can be loud but not so bad that you can't have a conversation.
Thanks for sharing Denny! Our first Tiffin was a gas and we were very pleased with it. Hope you guy have a great summer.
@@TollesonLife Yeah, I was watching your channel back then. Very nice rig.
@@dennycappetta2035 Oh man, we appreciate you sticking with us!
My wife came from a south Pacific Island to the US, we travelled in 35 states, including Alaska and several provinces of Canada.
Enjoyed it so very much, no kids, no pets.
We took two months one fall going from Homer Alaska to Texas, followed the fall colors all the way.
Worked here and there.
Drove a Class diesel pusher with enclosed trailer with Jeep and nice Honda motorcycle
🙌👍
As always, a great video. Taking the Prevost H3 out soon for a 3,000 mi trip. Will be better using the fuel discount card........hopefully.
Thanks imike0367. When are you gonna see a video on how that beauty drives?
@@TollesonLife have bought my video gear and will try my first pass at it on this long trip. It’s drives very smooth and very swift. Surprising for a vehicle that is 57,000 lbs when fully loaded. Heading to Polson, MT first.
@@imike0367 Would love to see the video man! We love those rigs and the Newells. Who doesn't right......
Hello folks, great video,love being on the road with you. Sad to see you leaving our park in Brinnon, will miss you all, safe travels !
Hey Mike! Thanks for looking out for us, we enjoyed you guys and Cove Rv Park very much!
I've been looking for a video like this. Thanks
Great video again guys! My wife was wants to learn to drive our class A and got it all set up in Wyoming where traffic is light then the wind blew like nobody's biz and so she said next time. love following you guys. stay safe
Thanks Rocky! Hope she get another go soon. I want to do the same with Clay but hasn't worked out yet.
You kidz sure make it look EZ ! I drove a 40' school bus for 13 years so I can appreciate how nice that Tiffin is. However, I believe I would have to leave that trailer back at the house !
I was SURPRISED how EZ Clay let you off for that "drive" comment !
THANKS for sharing !!!
Thanks for watching Paul! LOL! Clay went easy didn't she LOL!
Loved all the different perspectives and seeing Clay at the wheel!
Lol! Thanks D!
Thank you for this video...We are new RV owners, because we won a raffle out of Arizona last year and my husband had to drive it from Eager-Springerville area to Columbus, Georgia (;1600 miles in a Class C, 32 foot motorhome with a 14 foot trailer behind it pulling a Polaris). Now I have to learn to drive it.....I am so nervous and this helped seeing you drive a much bigger motorhome (you made it look sooo easy....hope it goes well for me this weekend?!!) Wish me luck!!! :)
You can do it TheDeloutre!!
More power to you young lady driving that big rig. You remind of a friend of mine, she would say, " I can drive anything." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Have a good day.🙋😊
🙌
Awesome. You two seem to be having a time. What a great way to move around this great country and see the beauty. We did the upper route across the USA through Glacier and down the west coast (by car) last September from Virginia. It was dry dry dry. 😎. Be safe!
Thanks Jeff! We haven't seen a lot sunshine so far up the West and now in Montana. Plan on visiting Glacier National Park this week! Thanks for watching.
Man, I love these videos 🤩
Glad you enjoy them keenanboy3000!
Thanks great video &Ride 👍😎🇨🇦
Thanks for making this video. I have decided to go full time (from scratch) in about 2 years after my daughter graduates. I have been looking at Class A RVs as this is the only way to go for me. This may sound weird to some people, but it was very, very good to see a sista out there and enjoying it. That really encouraged me.. lol 😂 Thanks!! I will be looking at all your videos.
We love the Cove in Brinnon as well. We have a 31ft Class A and love it!
I love how Clay‘s feet don’t touch the floor.👍 living large that’s rigging baby !
Lol! We have laughed about that often Highway Star!
exceptional video as always, you are great with your editing. The big semi truck coming head on in the other lane and then split to the outside camera as it passes? incredible stuff!
Thank you very much Memphis!
Gosh a couple of the biggest reasons we upgrade from our gas to our diesel pusher was....engine noise, ride and the ease that you can get diesel fuel
I agree with ya, those DP really provide a great ride.
Awesome! Drive it girl! New friends here! -Joe&Sharon from RVentures
Thanks and welcome guys!🙌
Bom dia Derryl e Clay.
Outro vídeo excepcional,
continuem com esse trabalho perfeito!
Obrigado meu amigo!!
Wow great video. You covered all the angles, perspectives and details in the narration. Love the thought put into this video.
Thank you DarkWater4Eva!
I just love you guys; you stay safe and be well, too!
Thank you Topnotch Rocker!
Not kidding... I was leaning to the right in my chair when you passed that rv and box truck on the bridge...LOL Great video!!!
Lol!! Thanks Roger!
Thank you for sharing this lifestyle. Very informative has me very interested. ✌️
Our pleasure!
Loved this video. We traveled with a truck and fifth wheel, so nice to see what the Tiffin was like. Tfs.
Hey Dog Walker! Thanks for watching. We've had both and really like the Motorhome for traveling.
Wow my wife and I are ready for retirement and ready for traveling in RV 👍👍
Great video showing a different perspective. Safe travels!
Appreciate it Matt!
What A Happy Couple you Are. That's AWESOME! GREAT VIDEO! I Am Looking At Buying A Used One. I Would Be Curious To See If You Could A View Of You Wife Moving Around In The RV. Is That ALLOWED? I Don't See Why NOT If You Can Walk Around A Little In Bus Lines & Airliners Why NOT In RV's? Question 2 Would Be If You Ever Did A Video On Turning Corners, Doing A Pre Walk Around Before You Drive? Would Be Very Useful. Awesome Sound Track. Where Are You Folks From? I Am From The Beautiful State Of Montana. Ever Been Out There? AWESOME State To Visit. Do You Do Any Winter Activities Such As Down Hill Skiing? Well Let Me Know About Doing Some More Video That I Suggested. Can't Wait To See More.😀
Hey Jeff, sorry for my late response, somehow it was missed. Thanks for watching. I think we may have some video of the access you have even while traveling. We are from Ga, Clay is originally from Trinidad &Tobagos. We have been to Montana and loved it.
Seen a load of these in Nashville!wow they are big!
🙌
I enjoyed it.
Wow, the fuel was expensive there in Idaho. We pay less than 4 here in NC.
Liked and subscribed,
Hey Magnus B! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Clay should really invest in A RandMcNally Headset noisecancleing microphone.The other caller doesn’t hear any of background noise.
We love our Class A DP -Have a new 2023 Newmar Dutch Star on order -I just wouldn’t want to drive any other way 😀🚌🇺🇸
Awesome Mary! Congrats on the pending purchase of the Newmar!!
Wish our roads and facilities in the UK could cater for these, looks awesome. You could probably fit our 6M campervan in your towing trailer 🤣
🙌👍
Love the shot from inside the trailer!
Thanks man!
Great video guys!!! We are also living the dream on our Fleetwood Revolution 40ft Diesel Pusher. We've done 15 states out of the 49 (plus Canada). Next year I'll make sure we drive on that beautiful US-101 on our way to Canada / Alaska
🙌👍
Thank you for the info. This provided some important info I was looking for.
Love your content, we’ve been touring in our Winnebago Tour diesel pusher 450hp for 2 years not full timers but We love your videos. Thank you
That is awesome Robert! Glad you guys are able to get out and enjoy the Winnebago! Appreciate you watching.
Great video. Good to see Clay behind the wheel. Love that Tiffin.
Thanks dj16911! Clay looked tickled behind the wheel didn't she? LOL
I enjoyed the prospective. I am looking at some A's now.
Very good, best of luck on your search!
A great and enjoyable video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it LarryMan51!
You guys are very professional with your videos⭐️ I enjoy them very much. And WOW love your home. Tolleson Life livin the good life 🚍
Thanks so much Harley Girl! 😊
If she's working on the ride on 101, I'm impressed.
🙌👍
That's what my husband and myself do except for the remote work
That's great Necie! Hope you have a great summer!
Your Rig is Sweet…nice setup and clean. Safe travels!!
Thanks Darryl, appreciate you watching.👍
Always fun to follow your adventures!
Appreciate that Matt!
Love yalls videos but have to say I am ready for some more two wheeled content. Also, I am one of those nerds that reads a lot of the comments on channels I subscribe to.... really cool that you seem to respond to all of them. It sets you apart. Keep up the great content... i am living vicariously through you both 🙂
Hey Paul, thanks man. Hey next week's video will be some 2 wheel action. Stay tuned my friend.
The views are immaculate!!!!
Thanks guys!
Great viewpoints.
Thanks for watching J Mcbeady!
I find riding in my 31' with toad a little white knuckling. Passing big trucks scare me and the shoulder bothers me. I use to be the copilot but now have become solo pilot. Id rather stay put. Great driver, you must have driven big rigs for a long time, excellant driving.
Thanks for watching Deborah! No big rig experience just take my time and being careful. Hope all is well!
Boy, you two certainly have a good time! Good for you! Sold my Road Glide Ultra last year. Not riding it as much as I could, want to spend more time working on our property up the coast but then too, next year wanting to get back into a sport bike - Triumph Street Triple. I'm in the BC Lower Mainland. Know the area you are in there well. Traveled though Washington a lot over the years. I enjoy your videos!
Very good RCL! Hey I understand how priorities can change… thanks for sharing and for watching my friend.
Thank you Like the view from driver perspective.
Glad you enjoyed it Derrick!
Thanks… Safe Travels! 🍀🍀🍀
🙌👍
Great perspective of what a class A is like. Our first few drives we discovered and fixed the house items that created rattle or noise. You have that locked down I see. I liked your comment pulling in to the Loves about the width of the lane, some of those lanes can be pretty narrow. We do like stopping at a Loves, but with our TSD card they are rarely the lower priced fuel. I always pucker just a little when on a narrow space and oncoming traffic is also wide. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Cory. Which station do you guys prefer? TA?
@@TollesonLife we do generally go to a TA or Petro because they have the better discount through the TSD card.
@@Corman911 Got it! Thanks for sharing that.
Beautiful couple, great videos, keep it up!
Thank you tominator3!!
It was awesome to see you guys. We just started Class A fulltime in April :)
Hey guys! Best of luck on the Full Time Rv!! What type of Class A are you rolling in?
@@TollesonLife an Entegra, and we LOVE it :) S
@@sulliesrvliving Wonderful! Enjoy guys!
amazing thank you for footage
👍🙌
Great video. Your home is beautiful and traveling isn't hard just tedious. But we are only 60'. Lol you all are doing a great job.
Thank you so much Bob & Barb! Hope your travels are going well!
Brother those highways going through Idaho and into Montana was definitely rough, but these Tiffins handle it just fine. Another great video!
Thanks Bell! Yes, they do great, especially when you see what's happening back in the trailer...LOL!!
Thanks for another good video. Keep making memories and stay safe
Appreciate it D Branch! When are we gonna see a video from your rig?
We are not all that tech savvy.LOL
@@LayloNewt Got it!
You guys did a great job with those camera angles. Good Luck!
Hey, thanks for watching Micscience!
i really enjoy your videos keep the coming. I
Glad you like them!
Well done video thanks, we enjoy full time travel in our Tiffin RED as well.
Awesome! Thank you, hope all is well with your travels!
Cool! You were in my neck of the woods!
Thanks Bill! Washington?
@@TollesonLife yep,South of Olympia! Been to Brinnon many times!
@@willie91fx Yes sir, we were in your area!
We always enjoy your videos and new subscribers here!! Great share!! Happy New Year ❤Zack & Linda
Hey Zack & Linda, welcome!! I sorry I missed your comment earlier. Thanks for watching and hope all is well!!
You were killing that gum at the end. lol
😂😂
Beautiful views to see there. It would be nice
👍🙌
Loved the video! THanks for making it xo
Thanks for watching Stephen!
Great video!
Thanks Chuck!
Will come up on Hwy 205 might be less traffic
can y'all do more vlog style videos? like a full day in the RV life
Thanks for this video. I’m looking to buy a class A Motorhome and have never driven or rose in one. So great to get some kind of perspective.
Glad it was helpful Expat Explorer! Good luck with the future purchase.
@@TollesonLife thanks keep going back and forth on buying a Class A Motorhome or a 5th Wheel tough decision!
@@oreospeedwaggindoesamerica6078 I know it is my friend. They both have pros and cons. Really consider how you plan to use the RV, $Range. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
@@TollesonLife yes I need to make a list of both of them pros and cons. 75% of the time it will only be my dog and myself going to different campgrounds living in it. I like the idea of a Motorhome for 25% when my daughters go on trips with myself. Thanks for everything!
@@TollesonLife I just watched one of your older videos and the Momentum 397 and 399 toy haulers is the ones I’m looking at or a Class A
Excellent vlog
🙌👍
Great video. I’d imagine that as of late, it cost a bit more to fill your tank!
Thanks Michael! Yes sir it sure is.
I felt like I was riding with you guys in this video
Great! Thanks for watching 72lovett!
Awesome camera angles 👍🏾
Thanks 👍
Great video folks, the trailer follows so well, is it possible to put a tire monitor on trailer wheels
Thanks Wayne! I think it might be possible. Let me check on it.
@@TollesonLife Thanks Darryl
Great job safe travels 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks JonesZ's Rides!👍
Looking good you all
Thanks Ricky!
Hey folks, Clay looked so proud of herself moving the Tiffin at the gas pumps. She did a great job, I owned a 29 ft Class C and my wife wouldn’t go near the driver’s seat, lol. Keep the videos coming and stay safe. I especially like the bike videos. Will you be going to Sturgis again this year?, Wayne from Windsor Ontario Canada
Lol! She did look proud didn't she? :) Yes, we will be in Sturgis this year and looking forward to creating some more ride videos so stay tuned my friend.
Question for you on combined vehicle length. As I read it, most states have a 65' max combined vehicle length. We're hitting the road full-time next year in a Tiffin 45opp and are looking to pull a car hauler that's up to 28' long. Any advice? Is there a RV exemption? Thanks for the great videos and please keep 'em comin'!!!
Hey Redriderrck! You're right, many states are 65 ft and there is no reciprocity between states like with tags, drivers license etc....So one state you are legal, cross a state border and you're over a few feet. Does that 28ft include the tongue length as well?
@@TollesonLife I am at 24’ for the stacker and 5’ for the tongue (29’) on mine. Don’t use it much but have wondered if the tongue gets factored in.
@@TollesonLife, another 4-5' for the tongue. As far as overall length goes, I wonder if it's just not enforced? Perhaps only if there's an issue for roads with a specifically posted length limit? at 73-74' long, I feel like it might stick out like a sore thumb in the wrong circumstances.
Great video, safe travels
Thank you MnM and the Gang!!
Thank you
You're welcome
Very cool! I would love to be doing that
Appreciate you watching Bob! We are enjoying it.
That there is a nice camper
Thanks Gerard. We have really enjoyed it.
Great video! Thank you 👍🏼😎
Thanks for watching Rick!
Great video Darryl! I’m so envious 🤣. I had a couple questions, how tall is your rig and are y’all traveling w another couple? I see another rv sometimes just ahead of you. Thanks big guy!!!
Hey bro! We are 13'2'' tall. Yes, we are currently carvaning with another full time Rving, motorcycle loving, couple. We have a few more states to visit with them before we part ways, though we meet back up next year for a couple of months. Appreciate you watching man.
@@TollesonLife how awesome. I’m at 13’6” high. Which GPS are using to avoid the lower bridge heights? Have the Garmin 1050 10” for RV’s but no so convinced that I shouldn’t have purchased the one for the tractor trailer rigs.
@@imike0367 I have the Garmin 780, it has all the dimensions of the Rig and so far has not led me astray. You have your specs entered in yours right?
Looking good
Thanks Rickey👍
I could not have made a better video even if i had all the equipment and the RV. That windscreen is massive, how do you wash it? I would be quite nervous driving it, its very wide.. You make it look easy
Thanks for watching challis! I do use a small ladder for the windshields😂🙌
Nice!
Thanks!
Class A motor homes are nice, but they are just too big for my taste. And the gas to fill the tank up is expensive. But to each their own. Good video.👍🏽
I understand dryvonne 1999. They are large and mine has a 150 gallon tank. Thanks for watching.
sounds like that tiffin is going to rattle apart
Ok
