  • We're here in Quartzsite but what do you do while in the desert boondocking? We find some great items to make our RV life much easier and better. More solar production too.
    We dump, we fill, we bike and we buy anniversary gifts...Mine is better than Sondra's. Fun time at the Big Tent and we're on the hunt! Can we find the one item?
    We are not Snow Birds but we do like nice warm weather and heading west is the best. We are going to do this trip a little differently by staying at a few different locations.
    Quartzsite is all about boondocking in the desert and a great place for an RV to winter.

    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:

    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.

    Once again another great video. You guys are just so fun to watch and I had to laugh when Sondra was scrutiizing the cost for potato salad. I was trolling through the supermarket today, found 5 uncooked chicken thighs for $11.40. I then checked the price for a rotisseri chicken, which was $7.99! Guess what I bought! Proof Sondra, that we are two peas in a pod! LOL! But David, you missed the best joke opportunity when Sondra said she should receive another anniversary present. She set you up to say, "buy more stickers"! LOL!
    Seriously, thank you for all the hard work with the videos. So refreshing to watch two people who love to camp and don't muck up their videos with sponsorships and 10 minute commericials. Please keep up the good work! Look forward to watching every week and hope to some day see you on the road!

I love your rig..wow! It must be the biggest rig at quartzsite. I have a 45’ DP bus and kind of find it a little stressful to travel in due to its size.

Interesting place, and I love AZ, CA desert, but I don't know if it would be for me (if I still had my RV) unless I had a side by side or dune buggy. The crowded shopping I could do without, but I'm sure I'd be at the grocery store more than enough. I can do that way too much here. However, it seems to be right up there for you guys and your rig especially. And I enjoy, as always, seeing you two no matter where you go and what you do. Delightful! And certainly entertaining! 😉 P.S. Don't know if I've mentioned this, but used to be Class A is out there in AZ!

    I am not sure but it seems that if you email or talk to the office there at Quartz Site they should be able to look up past vendors, just a thought in regards to that Balsamic Glaze you were looking for.

    Happy Anniversary u guys….how many years? Tweezers versus awning 😅 Like Sondra I dislike the cold yet in Alberta Canada they had record high temps of 21 C warmer than Florida that day. Looking forward to next venture 🇨🇦 ❤ PS just digesting yesterday’s news that hubby will need open heart surgery … placing this too into God’s Hands

    Your videos are always entertaining. It amazes me that someone(me) who has no interest in RVing or camping enjoys your content so much. Among other things, I love the interaction between the two of you, the informative nature of things and the scenery. As always, thanks for taking us along. Happy Anniversary. Looking forward to seeing Yuma and your adventures there. Until next Thursday .. drive carefully and take care of each other.

    Those Carassonne games 42:39 are fun games to play with family if you want a good game. When we passed through Quartzsite last year, we did stop at the game store. When I watched RVerTV's video the solar awning would be something I would invest in. It would be something I would consider for our own travel trailer.

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I couldn't believe how many games! The awning is a great way for more solar but it does sag a little in the middle due to weight. But a great 💡

    As usual an excellent video from my favorite couple. It's good to see people finally getting to enjoy the fruits of their labor, which I'm also doing after fifty years of working. Life is good and thank you guys for not getting tired of me tagging along. As you know the wife won't do the RV thing so I have to hang with you. Thanks again. Travel safe. Ps: I also admire the fact that you can clearly afford things but you're not wasteful, you watch your pennies. It took me thirty years to learn that.😅
