  • Now that we have you alone for a few minutes, we need to talk about our 2024 travel plans or tours as we call them. We detail our entire year of 2024 with some flexibility built in for tires in Montana (Sondra spreadsheet details low tax rate in this state, of course), appointments in Texas (plus Whataburger fix) and some down time in Florida.
    Maybe a visit to Disney Springs in Orlando....
    From Boondocking in the desert at Quartzsite, to Palm Springs to Gettysburg to a Scrap Book store to rafting to visiting 6 National Parks we detail where our Tour Route will take us on our journey for the next year.
    Oh....and a special stay to see the total Eclipse in 2024 too! It will be a week of awesomeness...Sondra doesn't need to know what that will cost!

    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 CZcams 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.
    I get my music from:
    Epidemicsound.com
    Tracks:
    The Village Welcoming by Adriel Fair
    Amazon Shop (no extra charge to you)
    A convenient way to see (or buy) the items you see in the video's which may help in your adventure.
    www.amazon.com/shop/bigtruckb...
    We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a bundle each time we fill up our Big Rig. We also use it to fill up our Onan generator.
    The big blue boards (XL version) we use sometimes to get us "un-stuck" is from:
    Gotreads.com
    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 Volvo VNL780 "Voyager"
    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
    Coachnet is our roadside assistance company we use but hopefully we don't use them too often. LOL
    We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded.
    BIg Truck Big Travels video's are based on our personal experience and not meant nor portrayed as experts in anything we do or say. It's our life on the road and our opinions are not meant to be construed as advice. Enjoy life on the road.

    I live in Pensacola and work on the naval base. I'm retired Air Force and even as an AF guy, the naval museum is awesome. Blue Angels have a homecoming show usually the first week of November so you might want to check theor schedule out. They also practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. Also recommend looking at Ft Pickens National Park. It's out on the beach and the campgrounds are really neat. Also has alot of history. Just food for thought...

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  Před 5 měsíci

      Thank you so very much. I've heard Ft Pickens is a great place to watch their practice but my concern for the campground is the 12 foot height clearance warning they state on the website. I'll look into it. We can't wait to get there. Appreciate your "inside" info.

    • @drshepherd1969
      @drshepherd1969 Před 5 měsíci

      ​@@bigtruckbigtravelsonly 12 ft height clearance I can think of is the actual entrance station slight overhang. Other than that, there is no overhead issue that I can see and I've been out there numerous times. Now there might be an overhang issue at the end where the actual Fort is but you wouldn't drive the Big Rig down there anyway, you would bike or drive the car to visit that section. There is some beautiful bike riding in that area also.

    Your house is so warm and cozy inside! Having a really good kitchen brings everything together for a homey look. The heart of the home. My husband and I had too big a house, and where were we hanging and talking, in the kitchen! The prettiest room in the house. Exact same granite and cabinets as yours which is so funny.
    But that house sold the first day on the market because we scrimped on nothing! Big homey eat in kitchen! And made money on the investment!

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  Před 4 měsíci

    If you haven't ever stopped at the World's Largest Truck Stop in Walcott, Iowa it is a neat place to stop. There is a truck museum in one building but we usually go to the main building to use the restrooms and eat a meal. It is a nice place to take our longer break when traveling from Michigan to Nebraska each year. If you are ever planning a trip in the northeast, traveling to the top of Mount Washington is neat. The truck won't make it to the top of the mountain, but you can take the car up to the top of the mountain. There are opportunities to spend an entire week at the top of the mountain as a volunteer couple. The volunteers cook meals for the weather observers and help with other tasks. There is opportunity to do short hikes and explore above the tree lines.

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  Před 5 měsíci

    If you like covered bridges and you are travelling on I80, You might make a stop in Princeton, IL which is right on I80. They have a beautiful red covered bridge right next to a very nice county park. Princeton is an very old Civil War related historical town that hosted some of the Lincoln/Douglas debates and also has an historical home called the "Owen Lovejoy Homestead". Mr Lovejoy was a prominent abolitionist and his home was a stop on the underground railroad. Very interesting tour.

Be advised that the border crossing at Lukeville, AZ going down to Rocky Point, Mexico is currently closed.

    If you are going to Gettysburg Pa. this year you need to go to Shady Maple in East Earl Pa. It is one of the best smorgasbords & largest going. They are not open on Sundays. They do serve breakfast, lunch, & dinner everyday is something different. All you can eat prime rib on Wednesdays after 4pm. Also there is a store in the basement. You will love it.

If you make it be sure to do a bus tours they tour the entire battlefield with a guide it's lots of fun and extremely informative.

    Hi:
    The bridges of Madison County are fine, and even the birth home of John Wayne is in the area.
    However: the dirt roads are composed of a white clay that if driven on when wet will result in the undercarriage being covered with this stuff.
    Trying to remove it- if allowed to dry- will be tantamount to having to use a jack hammer, as it turns into near concrete.
    We finally found a motorized high pressure (4000 lbs) hot water pressure washer that managed to remove it.
    Safe travels.

    My wife and I stumbled across your channel earlier this year and were enthralled with your Alaskan adventures. We live in the South Pacific and are unable to visit USA - so yours is the lens through which we tour the North American continent. Your 2024 draft plans have whetted our excitement for more. We wish you a safe and successful New Year. Just know that the many hours you spend editing each episode is appreciated by folks who don’t have the opportunity to visit your amazing country.

    2024 is looking pretty good! Hope you get a lot of windshield video while traveling (the drive is just as much a part of the vacation for me as the destination) because this country is so beautiful to see from the road. Quartzsite tips; Gotta get pizza from Silly Al's Pizza. And, Coyote Fresh Foods has a hot food counter to order lunch (I was just there and they were serving fried cod or fried chicken, with mashed potatoes and gravy, and green beans... there was a line waiting to order it was so good). In nearby Bouse, AZ (35 minutes away from Quartzsite) the Roadrunner Market has a nice produce section to shop at. I may get a chance to go back to Quartzsite in January (I already have a trip planned to Safford, AZ) but if I do and happen to see you camped out there I'll see if you're outside and available to say "Hi!" Oh, and Google Whataburger in the Phoenix area on your way through... I think of you guys when I stop for a burger here lol. Happy New Year! Cheers! Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL

      We've been to Q several times but have never stopped at Silly Al's. We'll have to try it this time. We've stopped at a Whataburger in Phoenix...I think it was near the Costco south a little of downtown. Thanks for the tips. Maybe we'll see you at the Q.

    sounds similar to our "short term" plans. We'll be in Quartzsite mid to end of January then visit our friends in yuma (while we also visit and eat in Algodones) then onto Death Valley!!!! my husband Joe has always wanted to visit Death Valley but I managed to steer away but this year I had to relent. We are planning a big Alaska trip for the next near (2025) so I hope to sit with you and maybe pick your brain a bit. Keep up the good videos they're very informative and enjoyable.

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  Před 5 měsíci

      Sounds great and it would be neat to chat about Alaska. Death Valley was not on our list of National Parks we wanted to visit but we were in the area a few years ago and said "what the heck". Wow! DVNP is one of my favorites now and right up there with Yosemite, Yellowstone, Bryce and Arches. It is such a cool and diverse place to visit that we now love going every time we're in the area.

It was the one you commented on (vlog 83 at 6:00 minute mark), you said something like how did they get that in here. :) That was us.
