  • What's the cost of RV living full time? Today we're talking about one big expense of RV life that you need to plan for to make sure you stay safe on the road!
    The truth is, RV life isn't cheap (at least, not always), but this week you're joining us as we do some big spending and explore Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia!

    *Who are we?*
    We’re Victoria & Craig! In 2021, we decided that we needed to make life a little more exciting, so we bought a used fifth wheel and completely renovated it. Then, we sold our house in Tallahassee, Florida and hit the road full time in our RV! We’ve traveled all around the United States (and Baja Mexico!) and fell in love with boondocking in our RV at the most beautiful places. In 2023, we upgraded to a brand new Brinkley RV Model Z 3100. You’ll always find us on some kind of outdoor adventure, whether it’s hiking the Grand Canyon, rock climbing in Yosemite or surfing the shores of Baja Mexico.

    Those truck washes use harsh chemicals on semi trailers to get all the road grime. I wouldn’t go to one. Better off having a mobile wash come and do the RV

    Tires and bearings, two of the most common failures of RV trailers and rigs. Two things that get checked every time I stop moving. While hauling, when I stop I do a quick walk around. I put my hands on every tire, truck and trailer. I also check the bearing hubs on the trailer, just a quick touch and you will know if a bearing is heating up. It should not be so hot you can't hold your finger on it. Twice when doing this I found something; one searing hot bearing, caused by an over-adjusted brake, and one very hot tire that had a slow leak and had heated up to the point of not being able to touch it. Both times I averted a potential side of the road repair. The bearing was fixed by re-adjusting the brakes and the tire was charged out before it blew out. I am a CDL driver and doing a pre and post-trip of your rig, every time you move or stop can save a lot of aggravation. It only takes a minute.
    As for the truck tires. They should have been replaced 2 months or more before they were. The rule of 2/32nds is BS even 4/32nd is not enough tread to prevent hydroplaning, especially with a heavy rig. Yes, tires are a big expense but a necessary one that should never be pushed to the limit. Be safe instead of frugal.
    I do enjoy your site and plan on being out there soon as I am retiring in a few months.

    🙂Questions?.......
    ..1 How big is your fresh water tank?
    ..2 How big is your Black tank?
    ..3 Have you invested in a Compost toilet?
    Us now, two adults in our mid 60's our fresh is 75 + 6 gallons (wh)
    Our gray is 2 x 35 gallons and one 35 black.
    Black was always a constant reminder and first to fill. 😫Pain, pain...
    ....after going to a OGO compost toilet saving 23 to 28 gallons of fresh it allowed us on our boondocking trip with no hookups, we went 18 days before needing to fill fresh water tank of 75 gallons.
    Instead of directing our urine to our black tank we're thinking.....of adding a 25 gallon container to the bed of our truck to empty our 2.4 gallon urine jug into.
    By doing this we can add a over flow pipe near top edges of gray and black to increase our bathroom gray from 35 to 70 gallons total and overall 105 gray total.
    This will allow us to go a full 14 days or more without needing to dump gray.
    You will need a shower nozzle that only uses 0.2 gal. Per minute though. This restricts showers to 3/4 - 1 gallon of use for a 5 minute shower or less if you pause between soaping up.
    .....just a little advice for what its worth.❤

    • @wildrvlife
      @wildrvlife  Před 7 měsíci

      fresh water is 75 gal, gray is 90 gal (they are 2 tanks plumbed together) and black is 45. We don't have a compost toilet and don't really want one at this time since we are able to go 2 weeks on our tanks without moving the RV to dump (we do have to top off the fresh water tank using our water bladder), but if we ever did get a smaller rig, we'd definitely have to rethink some things.
      We got a low gpm shower head off amazon and it does really help to save water!

    • @jeff67mustang
      @jeff67mustang Před 7 měsíci

      @@wildrvlife Okay, sounds like its working except for having to get the badder filled.......that was my whole point, with a composting toilet you could spend that time doing other things.🛠🤷‍♂️👍

    @nottoooldtwo Před 8 měsíci +1

    We've had Nitto mud terrain and Toyos, but for us, they make way too much noise. But we don't full time in our trailer either. Now we have Falken wil peaks on both our truck and the fifth wheel, 35s. We found a bubble on the inside of 1 of our trailer tires and had a replacement by the next day. But got to say, we LOVE our In N Out... have it at least once a week. Whataburger is favors, but we live in California so our closest 1 is Phoenix! We don't care for 5 Guys at all! But, that's why there are so many different burger places!❤ your hair looks great, Victoria!

    • @wildrvlife
      @wildrvlife  Před 7 měsíci

      These are a little louder than our last ones, but surprised us that they weren't too much louder which was good. Whataburger is our favorite too! Especially when you consider cost because Five Guys is so expensive.

  • @WestsontheMove

    @user-wv5ff3rp4u Před 7 měsíci +1

    Ram trucks are notorious for front tires wearing on the edges with the factory alignment specs. Lookup info on Thuren Fabrication specs for Ram trucks to fix the problem. Front outer wear fix, total toe .00-.05 degree or less, 4 degrees caster. Tires worn on outer edge-indicates toe in, tires worn on inner edge-indicates toe out. You have to go to a truck shop that will do a custom alignment, the big box shops can only set to what the computer tells them. Good luck!

    • @wildrvlife
      @wildrvlife  Před 7 měsíci

    Did you get to fit the full size tire into the spare space?

    • @wildrvlife
      @wildrvlife  Před 7 měsíci

      thank you so much for coming along! We didn't end up getting them to try and fit one, because after Craig was researching on some reddit forums and taking a look at things himself, he was pretty certain it wasn't going to fit up there correctly. I suppose we could probably use the smaller spare in a true emergency to get us to a stopping point

    Damp dryer sheets are fantastic for getting bug guts and road tar off of the RV and the tow vehicle and they leave a shine. I know, sounds insane but it works. Just keep a spray bottle of water to clean the surface after you use the dryer sheet. And my son is a RAM tech and wanted me to put Nitto Grapplers on my truck but my local shop couldn’t get them so I went with Michelins. Just a 1500 truck.

    Truck washes use acid in the wash mixture. That's why your plastic looks dull. Best not to use truck washes, but if you do, request no acid in the wash.

    • @wildrvlife
      @wildrvlife  Před 7 měsíci

      We had requested soap and water only, but we did get rain-x, which might have done it. Or leftover acid wash on the brushes.... I think we're going to stick with just washing it ourselves from now on lol

    The original size tires on my Ram 3500 SRW are 265 70R 17 but I agree, they look too small so I went one size larger 285 70R 17. They look better but now the speedometer is almost 3mph less than the actual speed so if you were 2 sizes larger, your speedometer might be 5 or 6 mph off. Fyi, one size larger still fits in the spare tire space.

    • @wildrvlife

    You’re not lying. We’ve been loyal customers of Discount Tire for about 15 years or so now. We have the insurance on our fifth wheel tires. They were only two seasons old and the rear driver tire failed and blew out just 5 miles outside of Butte Montana coming home from our family vacation to Yellowstone. (Still an 8 hr drive home) But the tire we had put on in Butte was immediately refunded once Discount tire got our correct replacement tire back on our trailer at home! I wasn’t happy having spent now $40+ for the new tire “certificate” as you guys call it, but compared to spending $200 on a new tire, it was still well worth it! We just had Cooper Discoverer AT3’s freshly installed on our 16’ Duramax for the Yellowstone trip and love them. They’re super quiet and handle great! How’s those nittos doing so far? Beautiful Brinkley fiver. I’ve read about them several months ago and am in love. When the Prices and interest rates calm down for everything we’d love to upgrade to that! Still haven’t seen a mid bunk floor plan for the kids yet, so I’m thinking we have plenty of time. Lol! Anyways, great work, I’m jealous. We’d love to be doing what you’re doing. Thank you for your transparent daily maintenance / routines. Great attitudes behind it all. God Bless! DC

Brinkley actually just recently released their a mid bunk floor plan, I think they are starting to take orders for them and people should be getting them soon, which will really open it up for folks with kids or it'd make a great office space.

    Well, what happened to your spare tire. When I was a young guy. I did what you did, as long as you don’t need the spare tire, you got it going. But when you need it,you will be in trouble. If your truck has a limited slip rear end or front end, all the tires need to be the same size. You can, or you might do a lot of damage if you use a different size tire.

    If you are running 295/65 r20, the mesure just over 35". If you are still running the 18" wheel in the spare, a 285/75 r18 will measure almost exactly, and I could not get one to fit in my 2021 Ram 2500 when i was at Discount this week. I am about to try a 295/70 r18, which is basically the exact height of a 35/11.5 r 18, just wider.
    Im running 295s and headed up north for the December holidays and would hate to be caught in weather without a proper spare and my RV hanging off the back. So im looking to make it fit. Seems if you either remove or "lovingly" mold the heat shield, it will fit. Trick is to get it up past the track bar, and then pivot the tire past the hitch. Or so they say online. We shall see.
