I love this channel, I am only 56 and still a good 10 before I retire and RV full time. Currently have a Nash 29S that we love .

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

So glad you stopped by to check us out Theyrun!

[@vivian6425]

Thank you once again. Job well done! I am not a mechanical person but I got so much from you, Mark and your explanations. What a massive gas tank! You are such a great team!!!!!! Thank you!

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

The 150 gallon tank in our 2014 Newmar DS 4369 we sit above is scary. The Spartan Frame in the end of the video was 200 gallons! OMG!

[@TonyMagzz]

Hey Mark! Looks like all those hours hidden away in the Dutch Star paid off...the video came out great! Sorry we didn't get to stop by before leaving Upriver. The toad decided to be a pita and took up most of our time before departure. Hope Sue enjoyed her return to Fl. Look forward to seeing you guys again. All our best, Tony and Barb...and Kaia 🐕

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Well atleast I got my "wave" in to you! Glad you eventually got everything sorted out. Thanks for hanging out with me at the Resort Party.

[@TonyMagzz]

@@OurJourneyInMyleswe did catch the wave on the way out. Lol! We enjoyed hanging out with you guys, and being the diehards of the resort party. We'd love to do it again. I'll shoot you an email with our contact info.

[@gordonfinch4446]

You are both a wonderful couple you seem to be very considerate and polite to each other Sue is one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen she’s so very gentle very patient and also very creative and clever I appreciate her maybe it’s her art background that makes her so special Mark you were very wise to be with that ladyImpressed with you both. I see Marcus’s thirst for knowledge enjoying watching you and getting to know you both Peter from Miami

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Thanks for all the kind words Peter,........I thank my lucky stars every day for being lucky enough to meet Sue,...

[@johnstanczak5075]

Wow Mark, great work on both chassis...I stopped them a hundred times to go and get a detailed view, thanks. I have been watch Bus Grease Monkey as well and he really tackles the heavy duty maintenance on bus conversions. Although we won't put the mileage that they have, it gives you a great deal of knowledge on the mechanics of DP's as well. You and I are not going to try to torque out wheels to 450 ft lbs, but at least you will understand what needs to be done.... We love your channel and can report that Barbeieres still has fantastic pizza...

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

I love their pizza, and somehow MISSED doing a carryout while in Milwaukee! I just did a GoPro fly through of a Spartan Frame. I will have to see if the footage is good enough for a video!

[@patcarden3028]

we love your videos , and the way you put them together is great. I just found your channel the other day, so i'm going back and watching the older ones too, if you every come by the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, would love to stop by and say hi, when its safe. take care. Pat

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Welcome aboard! We are new to the Smoky Mountains area, and really only experienced Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We understand that these are the Tourist Trap areas,.......but Sue & I LOVE to start visiting a state in them! We plan to see more of the area every time we drive through,.....

[@rolltide9173]

Hello Myles! Interesting....we have no RV. We are about 8 years out from semi retirement and don’t see us getting anything larger than regular Class C and will only part time it from there. We enjoy a few RV channels on KZbin but can say with absolute certainty we love yours the most. You both have fabulous personalities and are fun to follow. Mark....what I would give for you to do a video like this very one using your engineering views on some C’s (not Supers). I love your laid back opinions and obvious expertise. Sue...like my Heather you make Mark one lucky dude. Thanks for the great content y’all...

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Thanks for all the kind words A3668m! I can only imagine all the fantastic new features and "tech" you will have in YOUR RV when you start your adventure. In 8 years, Sue & I will be living on a cruise ship! Thanks for stopping by,.....

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Would love to drive a 605HP some day!

[@n1spirit]

I have heard nothing but GOOD THINGS about CoachNet. (Conversely, I've heard nothing but nightmare stories about Good Sam. hahahaha) Safe travels! By the way, I always agree with eating dessert first. 🤣🤣🤣

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

I would agree with you on the Good Sam/Coach-Net reviews I have read on irv2. That is why we decided to go with Coach-Net and not take a chance. The "free lunch thing" never really works out!

[@craigorford9932]

I would love a Freightliner renegade XL twin axle

You can pull a lot with one of those babies!

Love y'alls videos!!! We're longing to be full-time so bad...we just have some health issues to get straightened up then it's off we go...much to the dismay of our youngest son who is adamantly against us 'leaving him'.

Dear sir were their any problems you coud not solf in your working time with your high technical filosofie, i now for sure you solft them all because you are a thinker . Ist not easy always to work with them because they drink in front and its get done the best way. Thats way a laughf is nessecary, thanks you for the very interesting videos ,technical and inter human

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

This was one of my favorite videos to do because of the truck frame fly through!

[@jponyboyace]

Super c are nothing like a Dutch!!!

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

We totally agree with you, but if you are pulling something GIANT they will do in a pinch!

[@claytoncomeaux414]

Both rear axles are drive axles shown ...?

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

The drive axle with 4 tires is driven,....and the 2 tires behind the drive axle, which is the one furthest from the driver, is not driven. This is the tag axle. The linkage in the tag axle suspension allows each wheel to swivel and turn to reduce the turning radius of the rig. This feature locks out quickly after a certain speed.

[@claytoncomeaux414]

@@OurJourneyInMyles oh i thought when ever you saw four and four like on super C. They were dual drive axels.

[@claytoncomeaux414]

I wstched the video again. Sir you are right as usual.

[@jwrappuhn71]

Good vid ya'll.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Thanks!

[@clifftanch]

I’m looking at this chassis and so much use of steel … wondering if composite materials might not be used in places to save weight!?

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

I used to work at the place that made these frames. They are "super heated treated steel C-Channels. Virtually none of the large truck & pickup frames we made of composite. The analysis group was in charge of making all the material choices. I expect the cost and duty cycle was not a good fit.

[@CWChandler1968]

Nice. Video. Love your stuff.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Thanks Craig,..........great last name!

[@MililaniJag]

Love to see you guys do a Diesel vs Gasser class A comparison. Especially maint. cost comparisons. Gasser class A's are trying to compete with DPs. Several Gassers now have half baths. Thx!!

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

We have some good friends with a new 2020 Tiffin Allegro 36LA gasser, with the fancy gas spring suspension option installed, as well as the Safety Plus Steering Mod added. You can follow their KZbin travels at RVDiem.

Thanks for stopping by Pam.

[@BenNstyle]

Good Morning Y'alI☕️! agree, the Spartan K3 chassis is a beast with all its features. The rear layout on the 44F Anthem is a great selling point IMO. I could see, Sue's ice cream cone was no match for Tampa's weather 😂! Enjoyed this episode guys - Safe Travels!

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Sue is just out of practice on icecream cones. You should see how good she is with celery juice.

[@haleybethmckee]

Awesome!! It was nice to meet you guys and have the opportunity to talk about Coach-Net. Hope to see you next year and safe travels!!😊

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Thanks for letting us talk to you Haley. I am trying to answer folks with questions about Coach-Net as correctly as I remember. Feel free to correct anything I say that is bogus!

[@francineshea4723]

I’m interested in purchasing your thin telescoping camera holder. Can you tell me the brand and where I can get one. Thanks

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Nothing special Francine! Just a cheap camera selfie stick from Costco a few years ago that can accept the extra large iphone size with an Otterbox Case.

[@roydavis2242]

The chassis tour was impressive but my preference is Spartan. We have a true 20k towing. Our GCVWR is 20k higher than our GVRW. I've seen.Super Cs with 40k towing capacity. The Cummings 605 hp. has 1950 ft. lb of torque. Love CoachNet. I know one guy who was canceled by Good Sam for using it too much.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

We hope we didn't bore people with the Coach-Net segment. This is an important issue for folks with a big rig to understand correctly to be covered completely when the time comes that you will need it! A full timer has a much higher exposure to needing it someday. I feel that I understand a lot more about Coach-Net after talking to Haley. She was really great to talk to.

[@raoulroberts2024]

I think I was just seduced by a Freightliner chassis. What a robust beauty!

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

It is a masterpiece of fit, form, function and durability.

Your welcome TuTu! We love our OJiM drone.

[@tjshaw4441]

I am wondering with all the travel you all do, how do the individual states work with your driver's license? Because you have a license in your home state and you are within you states requirements does your license cover all of the other states? I hope the question is clear.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

As long as you are complying in the state you are plated and domiciled in, you can travel ok into other states. Some states do not allow triple trailer towing, so you have to know that. Texas requires you return to every year for a vehicle inspection! Some require special RV licenses when your rig has air brakes. It's like a "poor man's CDL". Check the laws for the state you are interested in,.....

[@tjshaw4441]

@@OurJourneyInMyles Thank you for your replay that makes it easy no special license. Pastor TJ

[@WILDEBILL308]

Good video. I think you are underestimating the strength in the front of a diesel pusher. First you have a much heavier fram than a car you also have the generator up there and you are sitting above the area that might collapse. My outhe negative on the super C is even the top Newmar only has a air ride cab. they don't have a airbag suspension. Plus the added noise of a front engine diesel. I am much happier with my Mountain Aire.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

I had forgotten about the possible engine noise!

[@MililaniJag]

Great chassis FLY THRU! Seen still pics but never such a detailed chassis vid. Interesting to see the Tag steering setup. Those are substantial chassis! Thx!

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

We are definitely driving a big boy chassis. Too bad I have a little baby wallet! Oh well, one out of two isn't bad.

[@gd198070]

Great video Mark I really enjoyed the close up walkthrough of the Freightliner chassis. The Spartan was pretty interesting also, maybe it's just me but the Freightliner chassis appeared to be beefier than the Spartan. We have a (budget) Freightliner chassis in our Ventana LE 3709 not the high end work of art in the show. Coach net looked promising we will have to check them out. Retirement is just 2 months away now 👍

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

[@joeljeanquart2447]

I am preparing to go full time in july and the research I've done on Progressive roadside assistance guided me into believing it was sufficient for a one and only assistance package. Many RVers on the forums are satisfied with Progressive's services. Could you list a few reasons more in detail as to why you chose to go above and beyond your insurances coverage and get Coach-net? Thank you. I do enjoy your content and hope to cross paths with you in the future.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Joel I guess it amounts to this. The first year Coach-Net cost $249, then the renewal rate then drops to $159/year. I have seen youtube videos of folks breaking down in remote areas out west, and lesser towing companies showing up in totally undersized and inappropriate equipment to tow in a 44 foot Motorhome. If you have to flatbed tow a large rig, you are looking a thousands of dollars to tow it a long distance to a Cummins Service center that is sometimes your only solution to get the repair done correctly. Coach-Net will tow it not to the closet mom & pop garage like most towing insurance,....they will tow it to the place that is logical, and appropriate for your emergency. For $159 a year, I will not take a chance with my Progressive Coverage alone, which I also have. The progressive coverage will pay to get you off the roadway in an accident scenario. Coach-Net will then pick you up and get your rig to where you need to be for the repair to be done correctly.
