A day in the life of an RV transporter. Tricky delivery and truck damage..

Today I helped transport a 5th wheel RV travel trailer from central Oregon to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. I recently bought a sliding 5th wheel hitch for my Ram 3500 and this was it's first test. I also picked up a new real axle housing for my truck since the one I currently have is bent and damaged from welding heat.

6:45-8:37 You backed out all that way and didn't have to pull forward to course-correct even *once?! (Applause!)* That deserves *ALL* the fanfare!

[@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639]

If my family saw me do that, they'd be talking about it for a month!

[@lindagilbreath9740]

The Olympic Peninsula is part of the Puget Sound region. It’s all beautiful, no matter what you call any of it. 😃😁

[@AurianArchive]

I forever remain amazed at anyone who can successfully back ANY trailer up without constantly having to pull forward and reset...

[@Elkadetodd]

The longer the trailer (in relation to the tow vehicle), the easier it gets (of course judging the far back corners gets harder, which is a separate problem). But mostly it's just practice. Some of that is just getting time backing up, even without a trailer. Start by backing into every parking place - which is also safer than backing out anyway.

[@dukeflem]

I really like the way you carefully plan and check out all the details of a tow BEFORE you go and avoid problems during the tow. EXCELLENT WORK!

[@fourbyfourer]

I totally agree!!

[@davidwoermansr]

I do that with my lawnmower trailer and even when not towing anything after years of driving OTR it's hard to get out of the habit of doing a pretrip inspection

[@CaseyLaDelle]

I did check the lug nuts, as well as air pressure and quite a few other things. But much like with the cement mixer video where so many people told me all the things I "missed"... If I showed the entire pre trip, the video would be an hour long before I even started the truck. As far as the break away switch, there isn't one on a 5th wheel trailer.

[@51-FS]

8:57 ain't that the brake away cable?

[@CaseyLaDelle]

@@51-FS nope

[@billwing6917]

Good back up job. A seasoned trucker. Keep it up.

[@markmunro8753]

Thanks Casey . I am disappointed I thought you were picking up an Abrams tank talk about a track vehicle.😂😂😂

[@angelolicitra6559]

Your trailer backing skills are amazing, backing a fifth wheel a quarter mile down a narrow street. 👍🏻

[@periwinkle-dragonfly]

Thank you for the beautiful ride along the Columbia River!! I love that country up there so much and hope to get to see it again soon. The sound is the water and the peninsula is the land. Also, great job backing that 5th wheel up for such a long ways!

[@davidwoermansr]

With a history of doing heavy hauling and heavy rescue I'm sure he's like alot of us OTR drivers he's got more miles going backwards than most people have going forward I once had to back a 1968 D7G Cat dozer almost 2 miles down a 2 track road made by a pickup thank God for the 1972 Pete cabover made it so much more maneuverable

[@sunnyqzado3455]

Beat me to it. yep sound is water and peninsula is land.

[@denisep3306]

You definitely helped Austin’s dad!

[@loose-arrow-garage]

A great road trip Casey. I see you made just in time for the Pacific Northwest Rain Festival which goes from January 1st to December 31st every year!

[@paulriversred738]

Hahahah great comment..

[@jwlsngold5026]

[@carmenevans7651]

I'm in the mid West and thought that was a real thing.

[@judithfairchild8620]

Laughing out loud!!! Good ca)

[@jeffclark2725]

It was really dry last year

[@lockedin60]

Rule #605. In order to be a proficient towing operator your backing up skills must be impeccable. I think you were helping Austin's dad to rid of his son's stuffs!

[@brucemanchester9039]

The Olympic peninsula is the land mass on the west side of Puget Sound, begins roughly around Olympia and ends at northern boundary of wash. Cities of Port Angeles, Squim, Port Townsend etc..

[@roygotham]

Sequim 😊

[@brucemanchester9039]

I apologize, should know better since I have a buddy who resides in Sequim. Appreciate the correction.

[@JimBergman1]

Correct, Sequim and Port Angeles are on the Olympic Peninsula, with the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the west and Puget Sound to the east. I've camped on the Olympic Peninsula many times and it's an amazing place to visit. Wikipedia says Puget Sound runs from Olympia in the south to Port Townsend on the northwest side to Deception Pass / Fidalgo Island on the northeast side. I though the San Juan Islands were part of Puget Sound, but they are also in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

[@johnhpalmer6098]

Being from Tacoma, I know the state and get there by going up Hwy 16 and of course, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to Hood Canal, then heading up I think Hwy 19 to Chinicum then to Pt Townsend. It's a beautiful drive and the rains sounds like home and is so typical of this area during the rainy season. The last time I was up that way was in 2019 when a niece married her husband at a former property her parents (my middle sister) owned, just north of Chinicum. Much of the wedding party stayed in Pt Townsend or up near it at any rate, all I think renting air BnB's. I have a sister that lives on Bainbridge Island and has since the 1980's and another one in Gig Harbor. There is a reason many of us prefer to live here despite it being dark and wet up to 9 months out of the year.

[@markjames3393]

Sequim and now Port Townsend, home of the Tally Ho Restoration ⛵️👍

[@virginiaalexander4999]

You certainly are an excellent fiver. I shiver to think of the average person backing up a regular vehicle. My Dad made me learn all that before I got my license.

[@cg5562]

I like that you put the towns up so I can check them out on Google maps

[@sgttombailes3380]

LOVE that Military Train !! HooAH !!!

[@jannearo328]

When someone asks me if reversing a tractor trailer is hard, I say it’s similar to playing the accordion. Enough practice and you will succeed.

[@davidwoermansr]

I always look like a rookie after weeks OTR and I try to back up my crew cab with my lawnmower trailer

[@gr8fulride]

The hood canal is the water between Olympic peninsula and Kitsap county (where Bremerton is). The Puget sound is the water between Bremerton and Seattle . Fun road trip! Thanks

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

One refers to the land mass and the other to the body of water. The Olympic Peninsula is a large arm of land in western Washington that lies across Puget Sound from Seattle, and contains Olympic National Park. Your backing up skills are on point Casey! Absolutely awesome. I know your truck has a list of issues to rectify but your setup and the 5th wheel hook up you added seems absolutely prefect. Speaking of issues no wonder you were mad about having to buy a new rear axle. Wearing my Cascade Heavy Rescue Towing shirt today Casey!

[@bennewfield3038]

Awesome backing up skills.

[@thombowe]

That is a nice backup job

[@BillSprague]

Nice! That Pacific Coast is just beautiful! Bummer about that axle. Thanks for taking me along, Casey!

[@geepeerces]

a man after my own heart. I too use the e-blinkers to test the trailer lights, as it gets the running lights, brakes and turns at the same time

[@tobydog247]

My Ram has separate circuits for flashers and turn signals. I can have flashers but a blown fuse will stop a turn signal.

[@robertjezek2867]

From what I recognized, that my have been Hood Canal. I've spent many years fishing and crabbing that area,

[@mwp597]

Impressive backing all the way down that road, Good Job.

[@rjtumble]

I love the Olympics area of Washington, it's so beautiful. It's kind of funny that so many of those houses live in such a picturesque place but also have travel trailers. :)

[@eegarim]

Phew! That is a long way to back up a long Fifth-wheel. I had an 18’ horse trailer I was lucky to correctly back up, oh, maybe ten feet!😂

[@jeffreypinder9398]

Great work , Casey. Nice job backing that trailer down to their home. I believe you did Austin's father a solid.

[@snomanizdman]

Peninsula = land...Sound = water. Looked like a nice cruise around the pnw!

[@RockmanDash]

They didn’t teach geography in tow truck school. 🏫

[@bigrigduce]

The Olympic peninsula is the land mass and the sound is the waters mass

[@WW-rm3cn]

Awesome. Great job. I live in Vancouver. Well lived. It's moving day. Moving by woodland.

[@richardthomas1743]

Good morning Casey, road trip! I think that you did a big favor to Austins dad LOL.. Looks like you got to kicking your size twelves to hard and kicked the block half way under the trailer. You sure did a good job backing that trailer all the way down the road and then into that sloping spot, much better than what I would do! And WOW on your rear axle! That just sucks! I would imagine that your truck will handle much better ones you get the axle replaced. Have a great weekend Casey and thumbs UP! 👍

[@throttlewatch4614]

Good job backing that camper up true professional ~ coming from a 30 year trucker 👍👍

[@jdleingang]

Oh my heart at 5:00. I went to grade school in Maupin. Seeing you drive through there was a flood of memories. Thank you for that.

[@cindyrissal3628]

Peninsula is land that sticks out into water. The Sound is the water...

Great ride along with you and bummer that you had to get another rear end.

Well I'm in Washington and I waited by the freeway to see you go by and I must of fell asleep awesome video that sure is a nice Dodge

[@muchogracious1557]

That was great. Beautiful scenery too. I guess it really does rain in Washington all the time.

[@laytonhaese7888]

note: Casey! you wouldn't hurt my feelings if you showed more road footage ... especially when you go through that type of beautiful country .... even if you make the video longer ! 😁

[@chrisgrenzner9337]

[@AllenSalisbury-fu3fv]

Geografically, a "Sound" is a body of water surrounded by islands. A "penninsula" is a strip of land surrounded by water.

Yes, you have weld a little on each side and let it cool or it can easily warp.. tack,tack,tack.. Thanks for the beautiful ride!

Peninsulas are land masses and Sounds are water. The Olympic Peninsula is Washington state's right thumb!

Beautiful road trip Casey. You did an awesome backup drive. Glad you figured the tire problem out. Until Your next video. Stay safe.

[@billmoore7133]

The Olympic peninsula is a large land mass across the puget sound from Seattle, one is land (Olympic Peninsula), the Puget Sound is water.

Wow about your real axle!!!

Yeah I was not happy to find that out

I wonder if they did that to get away from trussing it

Swung by the Bend harbor freight store today and WOW they have expanded! Coincidentally that space was a Coast to Coast hardware store when it was built back in the 80's so in a way things have come full circle :)

Casey thank you for taking us along on the trip I really enjoyed this video. I give you credit backing down that road so easily I don't know if I could have done that or put that in place for them on the first try. You did have me worried since in the title it said truck damage I thought it was because of what you were moving. I am glad that you explained I love the new outro Casey it definitely fits your style

[@bobpearce3665]

Great video, beautiful country.

[@diggerdog6649]

Another good video Casey. The peninsula is the land and the sound is the water and islands, my guess. Been around 101 from the coast to 5 when my youngest graduated from high school and still have a fair idea where you were. Any yes you know it still rains in Washington on the coast. Take care and be safe out there.

[@anthonylee2099]

Great backup skills Casey. Nice scenic trip. Love your background music in the beginning of your drive. I think you’ve used it on a few of your video, love it. 🤙😎

I've never hauled a 5th wheel with my tailgate on takes 3 seconds to remove and you can see more thru your back window just has always made since but you know your truck and that's a cool 5th wheel have never used one that slides like that have had ones with pins the older style but that seems like a nice set up. Gotta say I love your truck and it's accessories

[@edwinschlee8374]

Great backing to the house! We could sure use some of that rain here in Colorado!

[@Rat-Builder]

For 5 years I lived in Winlock Wa, and you MIGHT have 2 weeks in the summer when it would not rain. I told my Wife, that if my job up here in this "Rain Forest" ever went to pot, I was NEVER going to get another one here. And then Mount St Hellens blew up, and since I worked for Weyerhaeuser, I moved to Nevada and got a job in a gold mine. I have seen it rain so hard up there that the water would be 1/2" deep on the road. It could not run off fast enough.

[@rosscoder6380]

Usually it's the front tires wearing weird on the HD trucks. Yours definitely would be a head scratcher. Glad you were able to find a replacement fairly easily.

That particular body of water near where you delivered the trailer is Hood Canal. It is part of Puget Sound, and the Salish Sea. The Olympic Peninsula is the land mass that is bordered on the West by the Pacific Ocean, on the East by Puget Sound, and on the North by the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The “Puget Sound Region” is kind of the local term for the areas that are adjacent to the water. Basically the I-5 corridor from Olympia at the South to Bellingham at the North.

[@MissElisabeth]

Pleasant Harbor is on the Olympic Peninsula side of the Hood Canal, which is a long fjord that's an inlet of Admiralty Inlet. Across the Hood Canal from Pleasant Harbor is the Kitsap Peninsula, where Bremerton is. The difficulty in remembering it all is that colloquially, it's all "the Puget Sound", even though that only technically refers to the water ways between the east side (Seattle) and the Kitsap Peninsula. Above the tip of Kitsap, between Port Townsend and Whidbey island is Admiralty Inlet. Bremerton faces Sinclair Inlet, which is bounded by Port Orchard and Bainbridge Island. The whole "Puget Sound" area has so many bays, inlets, and peninsulas even the locals can't keep track! There are huge bodies of water even local residents don't really know exist.

[@lvsqcsl]

Unfortunately, you'll likely get rain and this year most especially since it's been a cool, and wet spring so far up this way.

[@brianbradley6744]

Such reminiscences when we drove from San Francisco up to the Olympic Peninsula and back to Seattle on our USA trip from the UK, all on the 101 so we must have passed Pleasant Harbour Road going south, also Hill Auto Body & Towing going north. We saw our first bear ambling across the road on the other side of the peninsula. Sadly I'm to old to rent a hire car now so it's all escorted trips and cruises (Covid allowing - we lost our son to it).

[@Notsofatamerican]

Backing up is easy if you know how to do it’s. Grab the steering wheel at the bottom between your legs. If you want the trailer to swing left, push the steering wheel to the left and the opposite for right. Easy peasy.
