- TAKE A "REAL LIFE" TOUR OF A FULL TIME RV COUPLES 2021 DRV FULLHOUSE JX450 FIFTH WHEEL. SEE THE 2016 VOLVO D13 HEAVY DUTY TRUCK they had customized to haul around their home. Learn about how they also carry a 2017 Smart Car in back of the sleeper cab on the RV truck. Truly a dream come true arrangement. Bryan and Cindy were gracious enough to give us a tour of their beautiful, custom home & tow vehicle. Come on along and enjoy the tour!
Curious about the "RV Mobile Connect” Logo on Cindy & Bryans Heavy Duty Truck doors?
RV Mobile Connect was born out of necessity by two full-time RVers that still needed to work daily from the road.
When the opportunity to become nomadic workers and work out of their RV full-time presented itself, Cindy told Bryan she was “all in" as long as he could keep her connected to her work online “without exceptions“. Remember happy wife, happy life? Bryan made it happen!
On the surface this looked to be pretty simple, but he soon learned that RV park WiFi was mediocre at best and almost always a huge IT security risk!
After extensive testing, he came upon the solution. Bryan paired a COMMERCIAL GRADE CELLULAR ROUTER with an antenna that has the best signal grabbing capabilities he was able to find.
Several months later, people began to ask Bryan how they stay connected all the time when they were having little or no success. As the frequency of inquires grew, Bryan decided to take the next step and form “RV Mobile Connect”.
He put together a “business grade” solution that has proven to exceed everyone's expectations.
He partnered with StepCG, a leader in cellular networking to advise, help setup and provide ongoing support for his customers.

Do they have a CZcams channel
How to increase your RVocabulary......"funner" (gooder than fun) "puckery" (oh boy that's big), "friggin fan" (usually hard to work on) , "ojim drone" (let Sue pretend to fly), "macho man" (solar owner/operator), "hav'n my pretzel custom made" (I'm still not sure what or if I want to know what this means!) Fun video y'all. I am sure Marco has mentally "deconstructed" (unengineered) most of Cindy and Bryans rig.
Thanks for analysing all the linguistics in this episode. I am happy to hear all of our messages are getting through!
This is a "Dream Rig" setup. A brand new and beautiful DRV with MORryde independent suspension, Solar system using Victron Energy components, Lithium Iron Phosphate battery bank, a piggybacked Smart car on a powerful Volvo D13 HDT... Nice and Wow!
You got that right. I was drooling over the Victron stuff!
Nice rig, Brian and Cindy. The Volvo VNL 860 is a beautiful truck loaded with safety features.
You got that right!
Great video with Bryon and Cindy.
Glad you enjoyed it Bob!
Of all the words that Merriam Webster has, all I could come up with was WOW. Cool that your getting closer to our neck of the woods. 86 and rain in SE Washington this morning.
We are already in Wyoming! The channel runs a tad behind!
Very Nice Setup. The Auto Volvos are Tough. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching guys!
Yes, It's all about the torque and how one uses it....LOL!! DRV's and Mobile Rolling Retreats make a great RV.
You got that right! Torque,........air horns and Jake Brakes!
@@OurJourneyInMyles Totally agree!!
That’s exactly what I’m driving every single day but with different trailer. Plus same color call navy blue. my with Cummings engine 15 L 450 hp A lot of the torc👍
Sounds like a dream to drive!
Exceptional setup with a "real" rig built to haul and go the distance! And let's not forget about the TORQUE!
With that much torque and 12 speeds, it must pull amazing. We just climbed through some mountains with an 8% grade, over many miles. Myles was floored,......and we were lugged down to 37 MPH in 4th gear at 30 psi boost! Yikes! I am going to check for bricks in the Honda!
@@OurJourneyInMyles lmao! 😂
That is a neat setup! Didn’t realize there was such a thing as DRV. What a tow rig! TORQU!E!! Love the idea of being able to drop off truck for servicing and still live in your house. And that’s the first time I’ve seen a Smart car that looks intelligent!!
And the truck is way cheaper than a F350 dually!
@@OurJourneyInMyles I was wondering what a rig like that would cost?? Towing that 20K lb 5th wheel would be easy for that unit and all the creature comforts in both the semi and the 5th wheel. Loved that fold out porch...
That is an awesome HDT & DRV combo. Great video as always! “OMG Torque… that’s what it’s all about.” Best line and Pro Tip ever!!! 🤣👍😎
Thanks 👍. We just climbed through some mountains with an 8% grade, over many miles. Myles was floored,......and we were lugged down to 37 MPH in 4th gear at 30 psi boost! Yikes!
Its always fun seeing friends in different places….
Yes! We totally agree.
Wow!! Thank you for this video!!
Glad you liked it IES2!
The CZcams channel Suite Travels recently took delivery of a DRV Full House JX450 that was custom built thru Rolling Retreats. Give it a view. Stay safe, stay well.
Thanks for the info John!
The Chan-Man says it's all about the torque and how lovely was that cast steel!! That coach is a beauty! We'd like to know more about their company. It shows that there are many wonderful people to meet on the road. Safe and healthy travels!

Thank you for another great video Mark and Sue! Have safe travels and see you next week.
Thanks Hector.
Great video visiting with Brian abs Cindy. They have a great Rv. Cindy driving the HDT that’s awesome. 👍 I was laughing so hard at Mark trying to get up into the HDT. Cindy and Brian have a nice fifth wheel. And they fixed it up so they work from home. They also have a cute dog. I did not know Mercedes makes those Smart Cars. Mark was funny when you all went to go eat and he’s comparing his meal to their fifth wheel. What a funny Mark. Great video! Love you guys! Have a great night and week and see th soon!
Thanks Sherri! I swear you pay the most attention to all our videos! Your the best!
@@OurJourneyInMylesYes I do! I love watching you. Been watching you both since last year with the virus. That’s a long time. You both are funny to watch. But you need that in life anymore. Laughter is the best medicine. And it’s so true.
Thank you guys for the tour
Your welcome Victor.
Mark looked liked he was having too much fun doing the design analysis. Hope to see you guys in Florida later this year. Mark and I spoke a few months back for almost an hour and a half and shared his wisdom with me. And yes, I did follow through with all his recommendations. Thanks. I am a retired ME from northern IL and a UW graduate from decades past.
Thanks for checking in again Ken!
Wow! That was so interesting!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Ina!
Mark, PRO Tip: Your manly torque and blowing your sleep number may be connected. Less torque leads to fewer mattress blowouts.
You may be onto something here. Ofcourse,..........we still deflated the sleep number beds prior to driving from Cody to Buffalo WY two days ago!
What a Rig!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by! That rig is here with us in Tampa FL for the 2022 Florida RV Show. It's still giant! (They have a new smart car now.)
You're right about torque
I just climbed some mountains in Wyoming that were 8% for miles. I lugged down to 37mph tops!
Wow what a nice set up thx for sharing
It was a fun tour to do!
Great video. Mark is too funny! What a great set up they have. Beautiful!
It really is a fantastic setup!!
As always you guys, great video!
Glad you enjoyed it Ayden!
Great video, when coming across Washington to Montana, check out the Hiawatha Bike trail on the Idaho/ Montana boarder. Its well worth the bike ride. Stay in St Regis at the Nugget Camp Ground.
We stayed at the RV Nugget only one night, otherwise I am sure we would have went on that awesome trail! Sue's mom had a stroke, and she flew out to be with her. That jacked up our schedule leaving Washington State by 3 weeks.
That’s a pretty fantastic set up! I love all the residential appliances in this rig, too. Thanks for taking us on a tour.
When you are full time, you really do need full size residential appliances.
Lithium batteries would be very expensive overkill for your style of travel. It gives you power for boondocking without the noise of a generator. You guys are attached to the power post most times so it just makes no sense. When do you guys actually use the batteries? To start the generator? Maybe at a rest stop for lunch? Kinda like buying $50 batteries for a flashlight that sits in a drawer that you use once every 2 years when the power goes out or you looking up the chimney to see if Santa got stuck up there because you didn't get what you wanted for Christmas.
I wish I would have bought them in 2017 when we first started. We would probably be RVing a different style. The thing that really blows getting too wild with your campsite selection process in a tag axle RV is how frigging easy they get stuck!
very cool rig
Thanks what Sue & I thought!
SET UP Nice
Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you, very good video
Thanks Louis.
Its no Coleman pop up trailer,but its nice!
Not as good of mileage though!
Love it! Thanks for the tour! Impressed with the Volvo and the trailer!
Glad you liked it Ruth!
They make many tire Pressure gauges that stay coupled .. You fill it buy pressing down on the handle then you let off on the handle and you look at the built in guage..
Good to know. We like the digital ViAir one we have now. Seems easier to get all the tire to match pressures closer.
GreAt video
Thanks Domenick!
I hope you are smart enough to use the air tanks on the truck to fill your tires from just carry a 50' by 3/8" air hose.. Put and air putting on a dry air tank .. can use ball valve too to avoid leaks
This is our friends truck and rig. On our Motorhome I do not like idling my engine to keep the high pressure up. My front tires require 125 psi, and it is next to impossible to use the on board air system for them. The ViAir compressor works great.
@@OurJourneyInMyles Sounds like he needs to put some 385-22.5 tires on the front of that Truck .. I have several trucks that run 445 x 22.5 tires rated @ 12,000# each at 125 PSI .. In a Truck with an 18,000# front axle I run 100 PSI in them
Omg you guys have me laughing out loud. Sue, I will quote you with “funner and funnest” and Mark, your pro tip to pick the guy with the most torque. Kudos to Cindy for driving that beast…most impressive 👍. Very nice rig. Safe travels to all and see ya next week. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for stopping by William.
To tell everyone its just as cheap to do this as getting a 350 for or something like that. You can get good used ones for around 50k that will run and pull longer than any 350 or 450 Ford. So if you get a new 100k rv and a 50k truck that's it. So it's not that much different put a big upgrade. Me I want a Peterbilt. I would say what I want to do but yall wouldn't know what I'm talking about. But yall have a good setup.
The used HDT is definitely the safest and most economical way to put these deluxe super heavy 5th wheels!
I love falling people like this I would love to see a video on the outside of the blue Volvo hooked up to the Fifth wheel
We will definitely do this when we catch up with these guys again some day!
NICE
Thanks Lashonda.
Great video! What a cool rig but waaaaayyyyy big!
Nothing you couldn't handle Cyndi!
@@OurJourneyInMyles LOL
@@OurJourneyInMyles Not even in my dreams.
Great RV couple. Love the video.
Thanks for taking a look Larry.
Hi guys!! Love your videos. I finally realized who Mark reminds me of, Jack Warden. A much funnier version to be sure.
Hey, thanks! I hope it's the live version of Jack in his prime and not the deceased one now!
safe travels we have made Newberg Ny
The other side of the USA!
@@OurJourneyInMyles yes will be here a while then moving slowly to Texas
Nice set up. "Thats the ticket"...How much cost?....
Not sure what that rig goes for, but the HDT trucks I have heard are WAY cheaper than buying a $90k pickup truck that will not pull & stop near as well!
Does the company sign on the side make it commercial?
I honestly don't know how and intellectual property company is. They do not haul or carry product!
Being from Bigfork, it is one word. Not Big Fork. Lots of confusion over that.
Thanks for the clarification! They need to get rid of that "Big Fork" statue in town!! All kidding aside, we thought the place was great, and had sort of a magical feel to it.
Stop thru Portland!!
We did do a few things in Portland,.......we are in Wyoming already now.
👍😎🍻🇨🇦
👍
Not Ore gone. It is pronounced Ore gun
We are never going to remember that for the next time we are in town!
@@OurJourneyInMyles sad. Not hard to remember a simple way to pronounce a state properly. Not trying to be a jerk. Enjoy your vids. Just thought I would let you know you were pronouncing it wrong.
It's funny people say hdt. And call a 350 ford a rig
I was amazed that most of the new MDT rigs you see are actually more money than the used HDT trucks folks are using.
Lol yall tripping me out how yall looking at the engine and the truck. Its just a Volvo nothing special. Get you a 600hp and fill the difference
That Volvo had way more torque than my Cummins!
I don't see the upside over a class A
Storage, some say twice as much. Engine maintenance is a breeze where class a's diesel pushers are horrible and mechanics often charge twice as much just because access is so poor. Class a's have real issue when they need to be towed. Most wreckers refuse to tow them so it requires a experienced tower that may be many hours away. Plus when you break down your home is not attached to the engine so you can live in it with any inconvenience. Trucks also have an advantage in a front end collision (considered safer)as there is an engine and bumper between you and what you hit. In a class a their is not much. I still think that class a's have pluses that make them a good choice. If buying a class a is overwhelming buy a Over the road (OTR)class 8 truck is way beyond that. You buy a car there bay be two choices of engine and probably none for transmission. OTR engine choices are probably 3 manufacturers plus each manufacturer may 5 or 6 HP/ftlb choices. Same goes for transmissions and then you have to decide which axles you need. Let hope that any of the three you choose isn't a lemon. "yah them 2015 eaton's were a real bank account shredders". If you know what your doing making these choices can be a wet dream for some men but the average consumer it can be difficult.
Well said Lost Comma!
