How We Ruined Our Travel Days Going to an HDT | Full Time RV Life

- Here is our typical travel day now that we have our HDT (Peterbilt 379). It usually consists of chaos and we're busy doing things all day. I guess that's why we don't move that often.

Checklists! We also pack up the night before...so the next morning...shower, bring the slides, jacks, unhook and go...even the GPS is programmed the night before...Missy, Stuart and the 3 doggies
We typically to the majority of stuff the night before. We’ve tried checklists. They just arnt for us. But we’ve done it so many times now.
@@FindingLifesAdventure Good luck 🙂
You guys have a beautiful setup. Impressed by the places that big old Pete can go.
We probably get into some situations we shouldn't be in haha
Often people forget that an HDT is no wider than a dually pickup. Further they tend to have a tighter turning radius. With the hitch basically on the rear bumper it is actually easier to park the trailer than with a pickup. Pretty cool IMHO.
I just wanted to thank all of the different people that commented that were asking what the problem was with the truck (HDT) since the title inferred or implied that there was a problem with their travel days due to the truck based on the title of the video. Thankfully, after reading the comments, I didn't even need to bother to watch the video. Thanks to all the commentors for saving me a waste of time. You're the best. To the owners of this channel or the people in the video, I would suggest that you not put clickbait titles in your videos anymore because people won't watch your videos and you won't get subscribers. I will potentially consider watching another one of your videos just to give you a second chance but if I catch you doing the same thing in another video again, I won't even think twice to not even bother wasting my time the next time after that. It's not a good thing to just put clickbait titles out because people get tired of that. You can take that however you want but I'm just telling you what pretty much everyone thinks when it comes to clickbait titles.
You never really said how the HDT makes it more difficult 🤔
Because that was CLICKBAIT. Thanks for saving me having to watch this.
@@eiloen Yes its just SO much diffrent.
We always plan ahead and do alot of the things like dishes and packing away the day/evening before. Makes it a lot less stressful on moving day 😉
We typically do the majority of the stuff the night before. Just not this time. Thanks for watching and taking the tine to comment!
Let’s title this one “why we hate our HDT” but not really mention our HDT. Clickbait…
great setup but to save time consider pulling the 5th wheel off and loading the can am on the back of the truck. That will help to remove one step plus it should making driving a bit easier. Great setup and id love to know more about the truck.
How exactly is this the HDT’s fault? You blame the truck for double towing, but you tow a toy, that is not the truck’s fault. I see nothing at all that explains your title.
We love our HDT. It made life SO much easier and travel days SO SO much nicer. (And faster) …so what is the deal?
You guys have a great setup. I’ve been daydreaming allot lately about switching to an HDT!
Do it! You won't regret it 🤘🇺🇸🍺😎
it draws alot of attention
Do most of your cleaning the night before a travel day. Cook or prepare breakfast night before. This will make travel day more fun
Oh, the drama!
Ridiculous, a real truck pulling a wobbly box.
LETS ALL SAY IT TOGETHER NOW !!!!
CLAS A DIESEL PUSHER !!!! lol guys
i was dealing with the same things that u guys are now with a 2022 grand design fifth wheel ..
now we have a 2007 tiffin Allegro class A 38 ft
and couldnt be more happier man !!!
guess what
no beak down hardly at all !!
just get in and go period.
no hook ups
no un hooking just go love it.
he has toys too lol
but she can pull it all just fine.
Put a deck on the HDT. PROBLEMS SOLVED 🤘🇺🇸🍺😏 No double towing. Downsize the MUGS 😳
that was the plan once we can afford it.
i agree on the mugs, she on the other hand doesnt
100% need to give it time. I'll never go back to a smaller pickup. Safety of a hdt.
@@FindingLifesAdventure Bahahaha 🤣🤣
You can only drink out of one coffee cup at a time. Plus they are extremely heavy and in your previous video it sounds like you are hundreds of pounds over your GVW.
You need to set up a way to put side by side on back of truck between truck and camper
thats the plan eventually
Yaya!!! Over 1,000 subscribers and growing… 5,000 is next… keep it up!!!
Wooohooo!!! We’re super excited! Thank you for your support
2:13 this is the exact “passive aggressiveness” that led to Gaby petito and Brian laundry like why are you even remotely dropping this line “this one makes a mess ON MOVING DAY NEVER FAILS” I bet it never fails the woman has to nag like this inside a RV you’re stuck together 24/7
Heavy duty rv trailer trucks to lanitarafat's pal carajo🚛
You should check out Spacecraft RVs, if you haven't already. They are truly massive 55 foot semi-trailer RVs and such.
Yeah hopefully someday we’ll get a chance to tour one
Should have the buggy behind the sleeper riding on the truck......
That was the plan eventually
Yea, that was horrible. Or maybe not have so much crap or complain less about it.
How do you like the Gen Y gooseneck hitch box on your RV? I like the suspension of it plus I can keep my commercial fifth wheel for pulling equipment trailers.
thats the reason we went the route we did. we made a few videos on it
this first link is the first video we made

Heres our video after having it on for 7k miles

@@FindingLifesAdventure Thanks I just watched it.
The joys of toys....
Didn't see hectic! Saw a normal rv day!
Normal rv day = hectic! 😂 😂
Awesome set up! Would be nice to get a rig with a big enough sleeper to carry our whole crew without having to take 2 vehicles everywhere!
how many people you bring with? alot of people take the beds out of the sleepers a put seats back there.
@@FindingLifesAdventure We have 8 kiddos and try to get out as often as possible!
@@raising8 wow yeah that would be tough. you could get a scwabe stretch truck that would accommodate but they're supper spendy
You tow triple and still drive a car, LMAO
CONGRATS ON THE 379. I MADE MY LIVING DRIVING THE BROWN THAT SAID UPS ON THE DOOR. COUPLE OF QUESTIONS; WHAT'S THE REAR END GEARING? WHY 2 DRIVE AXLES? ONE SINGLE DRIVE AXLE IS MUCH SHORTER AND WILL HANDLE GVW OF ANY 5TH WHEEL RV ON THE ROAD NOW. THE LITTLE CLIP OF YOU DRIVING LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE HAVE SOME TIME IN THE SEAT. WHO'D YOU WORK FOR? MY WIFE AND I ARE SLOWLY CULLING OUR HOUSEHOLD ITEMS TO GET ON WITH FULLTIME RV'ING. BEEN LOOKING HARD FOR A SINGLE SCREW 386 BUT MAN THEY ARE DAMN NEAR NON EXISTENT. GOOD LUCK. HOPE TO MEET UP SOMETIME
3.28 rear gear. it will get singled eventually. we will still keep the wheelbase the same, get rid of front axle. stretch the frame 2 feet put a flat bed on it for the can am so we dont have to double tow.
What hitch set up is that? I'm guessing this is an alternative to the ET hitches?
That is a Gen-Y Executive hitch. Gooseneck with torsion arms. They are absolutely great!!
a pair of trauma husks waste time while failing to find happiness
Serious need of downsizing.
Entertaining though.
Thanks.
HAHA yes definitely. were working on it. things tend to escalate quickly around us. we tend to find ways to do things we probably shouldn't
I would love to travel full-time 😋 😍
Hopefully you can live vicariously through us! 😂
You guys can't pull that in Florida some stats don't allow it.😒
Bigger isn't always better Not to mention the cost
if we didn't live in it full time it wouldn't be nearly as big.
Bigger makes it a lot safer Sal!
hdt's are for retire truckers they understand instead of being enthusists
I’ve done my fair share of trucking
Oh you did? So why then this HDT ruin your future plan...seems odd? Lol.
Do you have enough creamer in your creamer? lol I thought I was bad.
Also; are you floating gears, or wearing out your left foot? Definitely recommend learning to float if you're not doing so.
@@kairandson4886 float 😂 no other way
@@kairandson4886 and no probably not enough creamer
@@kairandson4886 hope you’re enjoying our content! :)
Lake Havasu?
Yes
Boring find another way to raise money
Cry baby
Do you need a CDL for this set up I have A 1ton and want to go this route instead
depends on your state and how you register it. ours was registered as a RV. I have my CDL anyways so i really didn't do any research on that aspect.
So how does the HD truck ruin your travel days ?
