âïžWINTER TRUCK CAMPING in The Tetons \\ Winter in Wyoming Pt. 2 \\ Vlog 23
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 8. 07. 2024
- đ„¶ We make our way down from the mountains into the valley of Grand Teton National Park. We visit Jackson Hole, see some amazing scenery, and encounter the worst road we've ever been on. Winter Truck Camping is really amazing, even though it's a little chilly!
We are hoping to make it through Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park before the roads close! On our journey, we cross the continental divide, which is a nice landmark on our movement west! We find a great boondocking spot to do some winter camping. Join us in the second part of our Winter in Wyoming series. This place is simply amazing, especially in the snow!

Different strokes for different folks. It is so refreshing to see a âmy kind ofcampingâ channel versus the here we are in the Florida Keys paying more than $100 night and look at these one of three swimming pools.
From the number of thumbs up your comment got, I don't think you're alone. While its nice to stay at an RV resort, with a pool and/or hot tub, it isn't really our style. It's nice to hear that you like the same!
You guys fit in quite a bit in one day!! / thanks for sharing your adventures đ€
We did!đSometimes it's the only way to get chores done and still be on time. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful snow, glad you're taking safety serious and allowing the traffic behind you to pass. We lived in Colorado for 14 years, had my fill of driving in the snow.
We try to be mindful about the traffic behind us! We know how it feels to be stuck behind a slow vehicleđ. And yes, snow in Colorado is no joke!
Wow guys thank you so much for all your hard work.â€ïžđ
Thank you for watching!
Looks very fun!
Beautiful mountains even with the incoming snow!
We agree! We absolutely love snowy landscape. We just don't like spending too much time in the winter.đ
That snow is so beautiful but dangerous. When this channel came across my newsfeed I knew this is the channel for me, I love the snow, winter, and blizzards. Great video I enjoyed this. Wyoming is a beautiful state in winter, spring, or summer.
Very true! We love the snow, but we know the dangers of it, so we try to be as cautious as we can. And Wyoming is a beautiful state! We canât wait to visit it in the summer.
Beautiful and relaxing. Enjoyed it!
Thank you!
You guys are great. Love your Adventures. Its great to watch your travels. Having a campervan myself - and travelled through Europe - I understand the freedom. Love fm UK.
Thank you so much! We can't wait to visit UK someday!
You people are amazing I love it youâre the best
Thanks for the tip of using alcohol to sterilize the water hose! I am loving the winter scenery in this videoâ€ïž I am a big fan of winter camping!
Thank you! We always sterilize water connections, because we never know who used it prior to us. And that little spray bottle has been working great!
Just make sure it's the 70% for sanitizing, not the 99%. But you can mix the 99% down to 70% with distilled water. :)
@@wingnutbert9685 That is an important detail that we didn't talk about. I'll try to mention that in a future video. We do use 70% alcohol. We also have 91%, but that's mostly for cleaning, prepping surfaces, and drying things.
@@Stonyboot Yep. It's something that isn't realized by many. Understandable to think high % would be better. But the science of how it kills germs/bac/virus cells makes the 70% ratio apparent. Basically, the higher % alcohol desiccates the cell wall too fast and actually protects the core, keeping it's moisture. Thus allowing it to survive and recover. 70% ratio is the golden ratio. Has enough water to not desiccate the cell wall so fast so the alcohol has time to soak in to the core and actually kill it. I get the 99% in boxes of 500ml bottles. Mix that w/ 210ml distilled water. Much better then the gel hand sanitizers which, these days, are dodgy at best and it's way cheaper and leaves no film on your hands. Good for cleaning too. :)
This was always my bucket list trip, but Father Time caught up with me before I could go so I am living it vicariously through you. Thank you and keep on trucking.
We are happy to share, it was a great trip. It was a bit rushed, but we still got a good taste. It would be nice to return sometime in the near future!
Me also, so I will stick with you guys, where you go, I'll go.
Great video. Love this coupleđâ
Thank you so much!
There is good vibe about u guys, very genuine. All the best in this journey of life
Thank you so much!
Great video đč
Thank you!đ„°
Thats pretty awesome! They want break if they are already broken! Love it! :)
Thank you so much!
What cool videos, I really enjoyed watching both of them. Glad you were doing the driving. I could actually feel the cold just looking at you two. The only thing missing was a nice toasty fire. But I'm sure there was restrictions. Quite the experience guys. Would definitely like to see more of your journey. Bob Little, FLA.
This is probably my third or fourth time watching part 1 and 2. Love the wintertime like this.
Thank you good job
Thanks!
Lol, "I'm old man" he said. No way, just a beginning of the fun journey. Be safe and God bless you to be safe. đ€đđ
Thank you so much!
Love the piano music that you had....relaxing, especially with the scenery.
Scott, I think you might be like me. I enjoy storms in the spring and summer. I enjoy cloudy days......I especially enjoy snowstorms, blizzards.....I find it relaxing, fun to drive in. Okay......I know I'm weird! LoL!!!
Thanks. Music selection is one of the hardest parts of making videos, you wouldn't expect it, but it's agonizing. So thanks for the feed back.
And yes, I think we are alike. I'd rather drive in rain, wind and snow than a beautiful summer day. Don't get me wrong, I love a nice day to drive. But I REALLY love driving in weather, it's much more stimulating.
Beautiful sky/clouds
Thank you! We loved them too!âïž
Very nice guys...Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Great videos. Great coupleâŠMay I also say Sasha has the most beautiful smile! đ My wife and I love to camp with our travel trailerâŠIâm only now just thinking how much fun it could be to Winter camp as you are both enjoying!!!
Thank you so much, we appreciate your kind words! Winter camping can be challenging and we prefer summer camping insteadđ. We just happened to be driving past Grand Tetons and couldn't miss the opportunity to camp and explore the park.
This is the first time I have watched your channel. I absolutely love it.
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!
Beautiful
It was an amazing place to visit!
Hardcore driving conditions. Well done. Not too many travelers there this time of year !
Thanks, it was pretty quiet and we didn't have to deal with much traffic! We love the off season time of year at National Parks.
I was in Jacksin Hole and the Tetons many years ago...But it was in July! Hit Yellowstone on the trip also. Fantastic!
Itâs beautiful out there! Weâre hoping to vive that are again in the warmer weather.
Great show you two. I had to turn on my furnace after watching this. LOL Hey, I use to winter camp in a tent and one of the best parts is there are no mosquitoes or any other bugs.
Lol!đ And yes, no bugs is always great!
Snowball fights donât always end equitable lol. Thanks for the terrific drone footage at the end. You have really grown the video skills. Safe travels CZcams fam.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I love your adventures! You show the greatness and the gloom! Iâm a huge fan!
Iâm glad you made it on that road, it can be a white knuckled drive at times!
But please, Jackson HOLE is the area/valley, Jackson is the town.
Keep up the wonderful videos!
Thank you so much! We try to share the ups and downs of this lifestyle. And thanks for clarifying about Jackson vs. Jackson Hole!
nice winter camping, Ive been having some mad crazy 60mph winds here in SW South Dakota. Hunkered down here for the winter. Happy you are still Getting Out and Seeing America! Cheers. For your next trip, west yellowstone have great camping just 6 miles outside town west on I think hwy2
Thank you for the tips! And sorry about the winds, hopefully they die down soon. We experiences some heavy winds too when we were in SD.
Great video with beautiful views. I try not to drive my rig in the snow. I have a few times and I was surprised how well she did. Enjoyed watching!
Snow is tricky and messy! Thanks for watching!
GREAT truck camping video. Winter camping is not common. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
The propane guy was really nice. I always try to find a campsite before dark also.
He was awesome, and such a cool voice! We do our best to get to camp before dark, but it doesnât always work.
We are so blessed that you shared your family with us. You are so amazing and have such a wonderful family. Joe and Penny Johnson NH
I have to do a quick mental maths from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Beatiful scenery!!!!
Safe drive .
Thank you so much!
I like to watch more cooking video to get some ideas when I go out door camping.
Thanks for the idea! Weâll try to incorporate more cooking in our vlogsđ
Nice drone shots at your camp site. Sasha's got quite the arm on her when it comes to snowball fights, lol. I have seen the Tetons from the Idaho side, was clear and sunny when I went thru. And as for the remark "I'm old, I'm 40", Scott your such a pup, lol. Ooooh to be 40 again. Can't wait to see part 3.
Thanks! Sasha did have some good shots, especially the handful in my face! I knew that someone would comment on my 40 year old remark. But, while making that statement, I was reminiscing in my head about my teenage years of driving like an idiot, without a care in the world. Now, the sense of responsibility and fear of a mistake shows how I've changed. 40 is young enough, but it's not quite 17 đ
Switch to Anderson levelers, youâll throw those orange squares away like we eventually did. Andersonâs make leveling super easy, weâve never been happier. OH, they wouldâve been easier to remove in the snow.
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Iâve looked at them but have some issues with how they work. I need to adjust individual wheel height. I can select 1, 2, 3, or 4 blocks to get my desired leveling. With the ramp style, Iâd need to adjust the distance from the tires and gauge height on distance traveled. I think they are a great idea, but I see them mostly for lifting none side of a 1 or 2 wheel trailer.
Any advice on using them to level a truck camper?
@@Stonyboot I tried replying twice, it keeps getting deleted
Found your channel and I fell in liking it quite a bit. đđż
Thank you! We appreciate it!
Another great episode folks. We are mapping it to fold into our Spring 2022 Adventure. .
Thank you! Washington State must be really beautiful in the spring.
Have fun
Thank you!
We camped at Teton lake with a view of the mountains and the lake full of cut throat trout !
That entire area is a true wilderness. Such an amazing landscape!
When I watched you take the fuel cap off the truck before fueling, I noticed all the dirt that had gotten in around those filler necks. It is amazing that the car companies are selling these vehicles without fuel caps and that you need to purchase one like you did to protect your fuel inlet from letting all that dirt settle in there. These trucks DEMAND super clean fuel. I am just amazed they think none of that dirt will end up in your fuel tank only to cause havoc at some time later down the road. Nice job handling the truck through the slick stuff. I have the same in a single rear wheel and when you have a camper on the back skidding takes on a whole different meaning.
The truck came with a plastic cap, but they are notorious for leaking and letting stuff in. I bought this filler cap on amazon since it has a better seal. Iâm disappointed with the quality and style of the filler neck, its plastic and prone to break. So far, it hasnât, but on a $62k truck, youâd think they would give you an actual cap. The road was actually pretty grippy, the snow had a favorable consistency. If it got nasty, I would have put the chains on. We donât want to lose controlâŠ
I love your setup. Always been a Dodge fan.
Thanks!
Great videography; towards the end you were back scanning with your Drone and giving us a 3D affect of sorts on our Large LED. That's how vivid that caption was. We're here in Miami, Fla watching and seeing our palms tree next to the pool lol. And feeling a chil đ„¶from the A/C lol
Haha! We'd rather feel the chill from the A/C than from these weather conditions!đ„¶We went to Florida back in 2019 and spent a couple of months there. It's a perfect place to spend winters in!
I'm your newest subscriber......LOVE what you are doing! Boondocking exclusively is at the top of my bucket list. Haven't completely decided what type of RV yet but it will have a SOK 600AH bat. bank, Victron 3,000 Multiplus, 600 Watts solar on roof ( roof size permitting) another 200 Watt suitcase to chase the sun on the ground.
I DEEPLY respect the way you handled that horrible road....obvious that you take care and respect your equipment........I was a Semi Driver for twenty years and then a Deputy for 17. I lived by "take care of your equipment and your equipment will take care of you"
Loved your snow scenes.....I love winter and will be a 4 season camper also.
Rick
Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching! We do use campgrounds and such from time to time, mostly for maintenance or when we can't find anything convenient. But, ya just can't beat camping for free in some amazing location.
Good luck with your search/build, it sounds like you have a good idea if what you want.
The road was pretty rough, too rough for my liking. Speed is the enemy in that situation , so nice and slow back out. I try to take care of things, I don't like to get behind on maintenance. Your slogan is 100% right!
I like the slide outs for the propane on your 920 my 820 didn't have slide outs but they were still accessible.
Luckily the the compartment is heated, so we don't have to worry about it.
Always fun to see other people's perspective of roads I travel often in a semi. FYI don't use exhaust brake if it's slick out.
It sounds like you have a cool route!
Why not use the exhaust brake?
@@johnhutchins809 Same reason you do not use cruise when it is slick out. It will cause your tires to lose traction.
I love Jackson Hole. Jenny lake. The Tetons are beautiful. I was there in Late September. Got a little snow at the end of the month.
It is a beautiful area for sure! Weâre hoping to see it during the summer someday.
Great job driving in the snow. It only snows maybe once a year where we live (Eastern Shore of MD) and we are not skilled snow drivers. đŹ Iâm nervous watching you guys drive. Safe travels.
Thank you! Scott is a very skilled and confident driver. He's been driving in the snow his whole life and he's used to it. However, hauling our house is a little different and we try to be extra cautious. Safe travels to you as well!
Y'all put that truck and camper to the test.... I'll be 65 this year...from Ohio but moved to S.C. 22 years ago. I had enough of winters. Rebuilding my old 2001 Dodge dually. Used to pull a 53' wedge trailer with up to 26,000 lbs gvw. Truck is built just needs freshened up. Looking at a camper like yours or an all fiberglass Northern lite but being from Ohio, leaning towards Nucamp. Those Amish and Mennonites are true craftsmen!
Our rig has held up surprisingly well! I agree with you on the winters, we are enjoying Arizona right now and have no wish to return to the cold north. We are very happy with our Cirrus, NuCamp does build quality products. NL is very nice too, but it comes down to personal preference. Good luck in your search and with rebuilding your very cool truck!
GT is my favorite place. I try to go every other year at least. I also fill up at that Shell Station!
Grand Teton NP is spectacular! We canât wait to see it in the summer.
Subscribed, and boy have you earned it! WOW, you put a lot of work into your videos (and it really shows)! You must take a ton of time getting your huge amount of b-roll. And your editing is SO good - the cuts you make, the way you stitch together a flow of story, and I LOVE your music choices. Just the drone sequence from 29:00 to 30:00 alone earns an eager subscription. WOW - gorgeous - and perfectly paired with such beautiful music. Your drone work is so, SO good - glassy smooth and framed just perfectly. Seriously, that sequence is like out of a major motion picture. Very, very well done!
Well wow, thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you like it :) There a lot of guess work involved and it's nice when the end result is watchable. Music selection is one of the most challenging parts of the process. I use Storyblocks and Epidemic sound for stock music and spend a lot of time browsing for something that will have the right pace and feel. Over the 3-4 days we made that 3 part series we recorded about 25 hours of footage. Each video takes about 30 hours to edit, give or take 5 hours.
Once again, for stuck frozen âstuffâ, always carry a jug or two of windshield washer fluid and throw a few little splashes of it on the corner of your traction plates. With just a quick splash they will come up quick and easy. đđ»đđđ»
Thanks for the tip!
Jackson is one of my favorite places on earth
Ditto! We loved that area.
Bird was a raven, extremely smart bird.
just came through there this fall nice place also a cheap diesel heater hook into your truck system and helps a lot and also burns off humidity in your rig, and i carry a 4 way hose key never had any gas station or store refuse me to fill up water on their outside hose bib and i also carry a hose bandit for places that may not fit my water hose great content
A diesel heater would be nice, but we don't plan to spend much time in the cold. I have a hose bandit and have used it a few times. I don't have a key, but people are usually kind enough to help. Most of the time, gas stations attendants have no idea if its ok, but, frequently they say sure. We use apps to plan our our water fill ups and it's been pretty successful so far. If we ever got really stuck, I'd just go talk to people and I'm sure they would be happy to help!
Coming from Minnesota and now in Florida since 1995 I think I'll enjoy your view. Burrrr
I'm sure Florida is a little warmer at the moment!đ
We were headed that way and decided to head to Southern Utah. We are from U.P. and were trying to avoid Snow. We went to Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, and Zion. Then we hit Winslow and back to the Yoop.
The U.P. Is absolutely gorgeous! We were visiting friends there and we fell in love with the landscape. And Utah is one of our favorite states! The National Parks there are amazing. We canât wait to go back there!
Great video you guys! Loved Sashas comment - we're at 6500 so we can breathe, which is good! Hahah Yes breathing is good hahaha You guys are awesome thanks for the videos!
đ We can't go a day without it! So yeah, we get excited when we have an easier time breathing!
Great video! I woke up with 33 degrees inside my camper. Finding out both of my propane tanks went out during zero degree night. Brrrrr.
That's no fun! Many people disagree, but we always leave our second tank OFF, I'm happy to go change it in the middle of the night, knowing that I have a completely full tank. For me, relying on auto changeover valves means that if I have a leak or other problem, I could end up with no propane. I've had 3 regulators fail and leak on me, so I really like having my second tank closed and ready for action.
Did you have anything freeze?
Great video guys That Cummins sure sounds good I have a 2006 4 straight piped 5.9 liter cummins You can hear her purr from miles away lol
Thanks, I do love the sound. It's all stock, but still has a nice rumble. I'd love to have an older diesel with straight pipes. My stock truck doesn't have nearly enough turbo sound! Do you have any video/audio of your truck online?
@@Stonyboot I do not but have alot of video of my trip to the west from S.C. back in June.We visited seven national parks. I am purchasing a go pro this week and everyone thinks I should start a channel.We don't travel full time but I'm working towards it.If you send me a link I will send you a short video of the old truck.Its a beast lol
Gimme quiet gasser any day.
Good evening from Godley Texas, I love the snow, but over confident drivers in four wheel drive vehicles scare me. When I lived in Alaska they were the most vehicles to be off in the ditches. Hopefully you'll have better driving days ahead. Great scenery. Stay safe, stay warm.đ
Hello again! I see that all the time, people passing others with their 4x4 or all-wheel drive vehicles. Helps you move forward, but doesn't help you stop any faster!
@@Stonyboot How right you are you. I've witnessed vehicles with chains in ditches. They walk among us or in this case drive among us.âčïžâčïžâčïžStay safe.
@@johnhuff393 very true! Thanks!
I carry cables AND welded half link tire chains.....for ALL four wheels.
You think that's cold? Wait til January. Nice video of my home state. Sorry you didn't get to see the spectacular view of the Tetons after coming over Togwotee Pass (continental divide). Maybe next time!
Cold enough for us, we are headed south ASAP!
NFS and NP's have had a hard time keeping up with the demand of folks in the Parks. There will be issues along the way. Just remember you're still blessed with traveling and viewing these wonderful National Resources. I told the Forest Ranger last week I consider it a honor and privilege to visit these places.
Agreed! We feel very grateful about our lifestyle. We get to see some amazing places and meet incredible people. And National Parks definitely shouldn't be takes for granted!
Beautiful journey...got married out there 4 years ago in Kelly,WY outside Jackson Hole...by Gross Venture Hwy
Are you aware it's illegal to fly drones in NP/NF? Do you have 107 certification? Highly recommend, so you don't get in trouble with FAA or Authorities. Just a FYI!
Great adventure and it seems to fun experiencing winter. I love your content!
Very nice, keep up with such content and photography is also great.
Thank you very much! Weâve been very busy and havenât been making as many videos, but we will be back to normal soon.
We look forward to more videos and hope to be friends đ
Of course! Thank you!
Stay safe Friends!
Thank you! We will!
From northern Wisconsin walleye are best in winter. My truck camper handles it great and keeps me nimble enough to blend in. Constantly at boat landings/roads close to shore watching tip ups if u know what those are. No problem.
Those are some harsh locations, but perfect for ice fishing. I bet your TC makes an awesome base camp!
@@Stonyboot yeah here I was bragging it handles it great and I accidentally let my water pump freeze (cold temps snuck in and I blew out lines but forgot to run antifreeze into pump). I'm simply going to plug into shore power when not in use and keep my furnace set at 55. I'm in this thing constantly and don't want to mess with antifreeze if I don't have to. Hope that pump thaws out and works properly.....
I'm no expert, but I think that crow was actually a raven. A raven's head and beak is shaped differently than a crow's. Plus raven's are larger and they have diamond shaped tails. And that road looked like a bomb site!
I'm definitely no expert, I had to google the difference and I think you are probably right. That road was really, really bad. Bomb site or the surface of the moon, crazy.

Those ravens are crazy during the summer remidz me if the movie "The Birds".
You need to run your heater hoses inside your camper with a heat exchanger and blower to keep it nice and warm while driving and it works great . Even with liquid floor heat you can tie in with check valve and a bypass valve. Check in to it if you do enough clod weather camping you will save a ton of propane !
I've seen systems like this, but they would be complex to disconnect. We don't spend enough time in the cold to justify the complexity. However, if I were to build a custom overlanding rig, I'd look at a diesel heater and possibly a heat exchanger for the truck/camper.
This is my dream...my bucket list to camp in grand teton...
It has been on our bucket list too, such an incredible place! We hope you get to camp there someday.
@@Stonyboot i have been to grand teton but didn't camp there ...i would like to return there to camp in wyoming & colorado in the future...
That area is absolutely spectacular too! We loved Wyoming and Colorado.
My dream, one day when I get tired of pulling this 40â fith wheel around this is what I want to do. Truck campers give you so many more beautiful options.
Somedays, I wish I had a 32'-38' 5er, I miss the space! But, for now, we LOVE getting out into the middle of nowhere! I'm sure we will change someday, or get a larger camper with slides. The great thing is that it's fairly easy to change your setup.
@@Stonyboot to keep you from always being on the edge of maxed out weight wise would you move up to a larger truck to haul a heavier camper.
Never been were you guys are an going that late in the year but been thier in some an fall
I was watching some of your videos Scott your are a very lucky guy take care of Sasha she is a very special and beautiful woman.
Aww, thank you so much! *This is Sasha* Scott takes great care of me and Iâm very lucky to have him in my life!
I have driven my share of snow packed roads. It looked like a white knuckles down the steep grade.
It was better than expected, I generally don't have any concern driving in the snow. But hauling our house makes it a little riskier. The tires did well and the road had a good crunchy feel. Not something that I want to do daily, but it was better than staying up there with more snow coming.
That clip on the gas pump that holds the pump on is illegal in New York, the pumps don't have them on the handles
Yeah, weâve found that they are illegal in many states! But not in Wyoming:)
Jackson hole is the entire valley, the town is Jackson, WY. Great video! Wish I was there with you all.
Thank you! We loved that area too!
"Your blocks will not break, if they are already broken " đ
That was my moment of wisdom! đ
You have to go to Mt Rushmore when drive around the corner road and one of those heads is sticking and I just great to see. The Gorge is a Royal gauge not that Bad we road horse back all the way up to the back side of the mountains and inner side of my legs for three days and we seen a Snow White mountain Goat it was amazing to see him.
New sub here, looking forward to more videos!
Thank you! And welcome to our channel!đ
Take the road wide so, you don't hit low lyning trees.... Cheers and Keep SAFE ~~~~~
Thanks for the tip! This was somewhat intentional, so we would get the effect of falling snow.
Iv just came across your video i think it is great i live in the UK so don't get weather like that so drive safe
Thanks for watching. We are in Texas now, but that was a fun trip!
I can definitely hear that noisy Cummins in 1997 my Tool truck had the Cummins great engine but noisy. My Ford 6.7 was so quiet and I miss it already.
I love the sound of an old diesel, but not full time. I'd be happy with a noisy project truck, but not a daily driver.

We drove threw Yellowstone and visted Old Faithful and that was about it we were there at prime time and was like down town LA. We went up to Tetons par and camped on a huge lake that was full of cut throat trout and we had the whole place to our selfs. When ever we got a good snow we would jump in our 4x4 pickup and hit all the back roads and try to find people that were stuck in the snow and we did this just for fun we never charged a single dime and it was all for fun, and always a good time. Get your stuff at Jackson Hole and take in the sites and then cruse up to Tetons park on the lake and have moose in your camp and they are huge but stay far away form the cows with a calf she will protect her calves with her life and Iâve seen cows run over the top of bears and send the bears packing !!
2 words ...."STUDDED TIRES" ..I love mine...on ALL four.
They are great, but, not what we need. We spend most of our time on pavement and that would kill them in short order. We do carry chains for when things get really slippery. It's like studs that you can take on and off :)
Hearing you say filling propane tanks to 4.6 gallons (if i heard correctly) just gave me so much anxiety lol even completely empty we'd never fill them past 4.2 gallons. We've had people get them overfilled in the past like that and it lit their decks on fire cuz they use them for their bbqs. They have an automatic shutoff in them that should never allow them to get to 4.6 gallons. Be careful! My work fills propane tanks (I've been filling tanks for just almost 5 years now) from that same size all the way to the big 100lb tanks (that hold 22 gallons) and over filling is a huge problem. That being your vehicle and your home, I dont want you to go thru something bad with your propane tanks. It could literally catch your whole rig on fire
A 20lb propane tank holds 4.6 gallons of LPG. That is where the OPD will shut off.
According to many industry websites:
20 lb Propane Tank
Dimensions: 1' 6" in height and 1' in diameter.
20 pound propane tanks are often referred to as grill cylinders and hold 4.6 gallons of propane when full.
4.6 is normal when the tank is empty.
We took that road in a trike. Terrible Great video.
Haha, thanks! How was it on a trike? This was probably the worst rode weâve ever driven so far.
@@Stonyboot It wasn't as rough as your ride. We were there in September.
I would forget the leveling blocks in winter. Come up with self removing blocks and patten them.
Haha! That's a great idea!
"Patent".... generally cost $40k ...that was 10 years ago for a US only patent.
Wow hi guys amaizng live in capmer really enjoy guys love yah couple
Thanks!! We appreciate it!
We don't use salt on Wyoming roads. It's sand. Then they go over it with a chemical mix. Can't remember what's in it right now.
Makes sense!
Please be careful using your engine brake (or cruise) in any snow or ice, especially on a down grade. Your saving grace is the weight on your rear axle. Please check the manual for warnings. Love a cold camp, I run my 120" sleeper propane heater November and half of December on one 20 lb. tank. Think about an auxiliary engine coolant heater for your Backpack. Nice and warm when you stop. Enjoy!
If the wheels slip, the exhaust break disengages on our truck. The road was pretty grippy and I frequently check the conditions. Also, in a situation like that, I'll run in 4x4 to distribute the engine breaking force front and rear ready to hit neutral if needed.
We don't really plan to stay in the cold weather for long, so I don't really want to invest in extra equipment for staying warm. I'll just drive south đ !
What kind of truck to you drive?
@@Stonyboot Freightliner FL106 with a 120 inch sleeper. Gotcha on the runnin South. Your comment is correct about the learning curve. RV everywhere you can. Rv'd 49 states and trucked 48. Never driven engine brake and traction control interfaced, good deal.
And I was in Jackson Hole when it was in the 90s
That's awesome! I'm sure a lot has changed there since the 90ies.
Like the backing track at 27:30!
Thanks, I get all the music from StoryBlocks and Epidemic sound.
Love the adventure, we love the two f you. Could you adapt to a diesel aux heater as a backup? We traveled 7800 miles on bikes and had lunch at Jackson Hole. Stay safe from NH.
I've had my Cirrus in weather down to about zero degrees (with a pretty serious wind chill) and had no issues with anything freezing. The Alde system works pretty good, just takes awhile for the camper to warm up. Just curious how much bubbling you guys get from the reservoir tank? It is definitely noticeable in mine, and I've already turned the pump down to 3, which is the usually recommended fix. Any thoughts?
Thanks and keep up the good work!
We have had great luck in cold weather.We've had it down to about 5-6f with no problems. We don't like it, but we stay nice and warm inside.
I'm not an Alde service guy, and my advice is simply my opinion. BUT.... I had similar bubbling in the early months of ownership, I adjusted the flow rate up and down with no luck. I eventually tried putting the flow rate up to the max (i think the little dial goes to 10) and that really forced the trapped air our of the system. I also I did that for about an hour with the heat on max to keep the circulator pump running. I also drove around while doing that (up hill, down hill, side to side). I stopped a couple times to top of the reservoir. Then I turned the pump back down to 2.5 or 3. I haven't had a problem since. I check the reservoir every week or so and keep it between the lines.
Forget propane for heating the camper just get a cheap diesel heater and plumb the fuel pump to your diesel tank on the truck!
We donât spend too much time in the cold, so weâll keep it stock. But, Iâd go that route if I built my own.
