[@StacyAnneH]

Interesting, but was curious about the beginnings of Orian. How you decided you needed something so big vs a Class A, how you picked him out, etc.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We looked at Class A's, but a 5th wheel seemed more like a home. Safety was a factor so a semi-truck is definitely safer than a motorhome. Plus an HDT will last longer than a pickup truck needing fewer repairs since they are designed for the miles with a load. It's not an easy way to RV but we enjoy it. Thanks for watching the channel

@@bigtruckbigtravels Interesting, so do you require a AZ license and CDL classification with mentioned True 18 Wheeler?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

@KickininMyRv90 no. Since it is registered and titled as a private truck then you don't need a CDL. Texas requires a Class A non-commercial endorsement on the license. There was a road test and written test you had to pass.

I'm so glad you're both back. You had your Whataburger fix! We live in Middle Tennessee, and we have Whataburgers now. This Texan we know said they are better out there. Can't wait to see the upcoming videos.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks for watching, Teresa. I think Texas Whataburgers are better but I'll take them wherever I can get them. 😆

Thump Thump, gotta love a sick sense of humor

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh yeah! Lots of fun! Glad you appreciate that sense of humor... just part of our daily routine... driving and me making bad jokes! 😆

[@KeenanModica]

Good to see you two back in Orion. It’s always good to spend time with family and reunite with friends. There was a lot of adventure in this one video…one of your best!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Keenan. We'll try to slow down a bit for the holidays but then we're off for the winter out west and more adventures...oh, we may have a few more this year! LOL

[@NatKekuna2012]

That’s a wonderful life. God Bless

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you very much. We're very fortunate.

David, the fact that you and Greg are using the same kingpin lock is a strong endorsement; what was the brand of that lock. We are planning a trip into Canada and may leave our rig unattended while we take a scenic train ride across Canada, and a lock would provide peace of mind. TIA

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, John. We use a Curt lock. Nothing is fool proof but it adds peace of mind. I tried to attach a pic but YT won't let me.

Your uncle has a beautiful farm. Great place to boondock.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. Beautiful boondocking spot and so quiet... except when the coyotes get noisy or the raccoons fight! 😆
