Big Tent, BIG Rig HDT Travels in Quartzsite. Major Improvements. Fulltiming couple. RV Lifestyle.

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 KZbin 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.

The big blue boards (XL version) we use sometimes to get us "un-stuck" is from:

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"

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.

You should call your drone "Ingenuity" after the Mars rover helicopter. Kinda fits with Voyager, Discovery and Orion.

[@michaelschneider-]

" Ingenuity" . +1. .. Pretty clever. .. Living Large as the saying goes. .. Stay safe. .. Vail, Colorado

[@raoulroberts]

Great name! Hope they take your suggestion.

[@rburoni]

Popped on to say the same. Perfect name!

[@pennysaufley8974]

Yep, that’s what I thought of too! Plus her nickname is Ginny!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Great suggestion! We love that name!

[@polarisman67]

OMG what an awsome video, when i watch your vids, i feel like I'm on vacation right with you! You two are awsome! 😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Wow! Thank you so very much.

[@tljlucy31]

We are from Oregon and we had the true toppers installed on our class A motor home last year. The Eugene folks were great. We are so glad we added them. Spending time on the Oregon Coast the wind ate up the original toppers.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That is awesome! We're excited. Thanks for watching the channel. 😁

Good on you for helping people when asked, for those who need it and ask for it.

We try to keep it out of the ditches. Thanks for watching the channel.

[@mimi5117]

Thanks for the smiles ... love your videos ... Stay safe and smile on ... hugs from western Canada where it's raining on Feb 1st, this is sooo weird for us here in the North OK Valley. Happy Anniversary - Hugs 😊💞🌧

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You are so welcome. Love the Okanagan Valley area.

[@sharonking9862]

Great Music‼️‼️‼️ What a fun time here….loved all the shopping!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it, Sharon. Sondra loves the tent area.

[@dianagouws6615]

Scout was the smallest launch vehicle and it's purpose was "scouting the frontiers of space environment and paving the way" - a perfect name for your smallest vehicle

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks for the suggestion, Diana. It makes sense.

[@kristenj3517]

Seriously you guys are my people! Camping and scrapping!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh yeah! Now that's a very different combination so there are very few of us out there. Excited to have you along on the journey. 😊

[@craigwesson7913]

After you have your toppers added please give us a review on how well the work to clean off the debris that can load up on the slides.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We will. It will be part of a video. Thanks

[@user-zs1uc2vu8h]

Saundra and David, nice to see you. What a life you have chosen. Why am I not surprised to see Saundra charting the sun and solar efficiency. Happy travels.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. No surprise with Sondra charting the angle! Small world... you never know who shows up at your doorstep! 😆

[@jackmccormick6880]

So I used my portable water pump in a box (close copy of yours, thanks for the idea) at La Posa South yesterday. Worked great and kept me out of the long line. Also learned a trick today, wait till it rains to dump your tanks, no line! Wish we could have met y’all at the meet up, got here late. Had rv trouble😵‍💫

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Fantastic! Glad I was able to help and sorry we missed you guys. Enjoy the Q. See you down the road. Thanks for watching.

[@takethelongwayhomewithPatLinda]

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!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You know, I didn't want to open the "sticker floodgates" by letting her get MORE stickers! 🤣Sometimes Sondra just gets irritated by the cost of some items...and the potato salad was it that day. I like her's more so it worked out better for me. Thank you for watching and you're very kind with your comments.

[@kathiebauer5165]

We have RVed for 40+ years. Traded 5th wheel two years ago & got a residential frig. Trouble first three trips with doors opening. What a mess. Tension curtain rods really helped on travel days. Also packing tape. Miss the dual service rv frig with door locks.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

There are times, Kathie, when we miss the RV fridge but Sondra loves the storage in the residential one. 😊 Thanks

[@MaryWehmeier]

Love those tension rods. Thanks Walmart.

[@valyd45]

Lots of you tube videos to make your own balsamic glaze. Your new opening theme song was awesome. Your Quartsite excursion was one of the most interesting I’ve seen as many other you tubers are doing the same. Happy Anniversary!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! If we can't find them we may resort to making it. Thank you. 😃

[@MaryWehmeier]

@@bigtruckbigtravelsI’ll find one for you Sondra. I thought he was at Farmers Market in Palm Springs last month.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

@@MaryWehmeier we'll definitely have to check out the farmers market. Thank you!

[@my09ultra]

Oooh! Lots of bargains! Ah the big top tent loaded with deals! 🎉

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yes but you still have to know pricing... lots of stuff. Thank you for watching the channel. 😁

[@mwarren-TN]

Enjoyed mtg you both. Love the drone footage. Martha & Phillip Columbia, TN

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks so much! Great catching up at the show.

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

Another enjoyable video, I love how handy David is, reminds me of my late stepdad. It's always fun to see Sondra swooning over the stickers! 😉😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it, Carol. Sondra swoons a lot! I just stay out of the way until the sticker cloud of happiness passes and she comes back to earth! 😂🤣😎Appreciate your comments as always.

[@josephalberta1145]

I always enjoy your videos. The new places and your positive and happy attitudes. Even with 35 thousand subscribers, thats 43 thousand in Canadian subscribers, you still find time to answer messages.

🤔😂🤣OK, Joseph, that's funny! I like it. Never thought the channel would get this big. Glad you enjoy it. Stay warm this winter.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Aloha from AZ. Hope you're enjoying nice "winter" weather... in Florida! Glad you guys were comfy for this video! We'll keep trying to catch up to you! 😆 Safe travels wherever the road takes you. See you! Thanks for watching the channel.

[@TipsyMarlinTravels]

Great video guys! You really captured the essence of Quartzsite. Sondra, I feel for you...I've had a few of those travel-induced messes myself and you never know what has found its way beneath the slides.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, Kat for the comments. We really enjoyed our visit the other day and your camper is exciting. Can't wait to see where the wind and road takes you guys.

[@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726]

I'm just grateful I haven't gotten my smell back since covid. 😂

[@JamieStuff]

I'm seriously considering spending a week out there next year, particularly for the ham radio get together, Quartzfest, which is held at the same time.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

I think you'd enjoy it. I like the name! My brother enjoyed being a ham operator for many years. He spoke to people from all over the world.

[@MaryWehmeier]

We are too. Husband is a Ham 73’s!

[@mollydoran9488]

omg 'radio shack'!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Maybe... not many out there.

[@terry3193]

Hi, new subscriber here. I really enjoy your channel…laidback, no drama and just every day stuff. I find it enjoyable, relaxing and simple plus you two are fun! There’s enough drama in the world. 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. I might downsize next year to something around 33’ or so but we’ll see. Thanks for sharing and safe travels! 👍

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you so much, Terry! We're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊 We love our home and enjoy the Q when we visit. We enjoyed our 32 foot Class C this summer, definitely more flexible! Buckle up, the road calls to us in 2024!

[@e.rickhudson]

I get that look myself when my wife doesn’t believe I have no money on me. Priceless.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆... that must be a wifey thing... it's in their DNA!

[@liamhenry8164]

Need a couple of plastic milk crates to set the tanks in to transport.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

I'll have to check to see if they'll fit. They are a little fatter than a 20 lbs propane tank. Great idea. Thanks for the comment. 😃

[@larryburkett9628]

We were in Costco today and they have a Nonna Pia's Balsamic glaze there, but it is from British Colombia.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Larry. It may be good but not "the one". The hunt continues...

[@lancebillingsley199]

Was a great video was neat going through the big tent love your travels

Glad you enjoyed it, Lance. Thanks so much for the comment and glad you're along with us on the journey....wherever it leads us! 😎

Great seeing you guys...twice! Love the Explorer. Thank you for watching.

Thank you very much.

[@cathygriffith1641]

Neat place! I’d love the shopping!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It's pretty cool, Cathy. So many neat items. It's definitely like a little tent town.

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

We did Quartzsite every year the first few years we were fulltime but have missed the last few as well. I think it might be time for a winter stay again. Oddly enough we do sort of miss it, well maybe more me that Diane.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It's a cool place, Dave and very unique. I definitely think you have to embrace the whole culture out there to fully appreciate the area. It's nice to visit other areas too. That's why we go to the Q about every other year. Appreciate your comments and your time watching the channel. 😃

[@krazedkamper]

They really do have EVERYTHING at that show! 😂😂

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh, they really do...and we saw most everything! Whew!

Stickers..."precious" , I feel it!

It’s just ridiculous 😂😂😂

[@raoulroberts]

It's Happy Thursday with (BT)²! Gotta shout out my fave parts. At 17:55, the word you're looking for is "Crap!" 😂 I absolutely loved how Sondra was in full glee mode during her shoppin' an' huntin'. My most replayed part is definitely 32:08 to 32:47. David shows us guys how it's done; tweezers and stickers make Sondra happy. You two are fantastic! That elusive artisanal balsamic glaze was as divinely intended - a moment of joy, a memory of a lifetime. Wishing Superman and his "crafty" Lois Lane a happy and blessed anniversary. Can't wait for next week's episode.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You are waaayy too kind but thank you so very much. We enjoy our life and the ability to travel to see unique and interesting places. We're so glad you're along with us on the journey and really appreciate your support and feedback each week. I mean, who would have thought squeezy tweezers would be at Quartzsite in the Sell-A-Rama tent area!?!? See you next week.

[@glentweedie602]

Happy anniversary. Always a good day to remember and celebrate. I don't think I would have gotten the same smile that Sondra gave you for the sqweezy tweazers as an anniversary present tho. Happy travels to all you good folks. Keep safe.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks so much, Glen. She was really excited about the squeezy tweezers...I don't completely understand it but then I don't figure I'm supposed to anyway...🤔😂😁🤣😊

Glad to help and hope it goes smoothly.

[@kbVACArestatecarsnrvs]

Happy Anniversary you two! But I don't think the present swap was fairly equal lol. 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! A known RV fellow YT'ber bought it from me, flew to VA and it still sits under cover out there. He bought a diesel pusher afterwards and decided to make that his baby. I've been tempted to offer to buy it back!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks for the comments as always. It's a neat area but not for everyone. Definitely can get busy. Interesting on your Class A. Probably still in great shape. Tempting, eh?!?

Have lots of questions but the one today is how does the drone follow you?? Probably a dumb question because I'm so drone inefficient 😂😂. Stay safe !! and keep the great content coming.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It's a Mini4 Pro and it has "active track" which can target a person or vehicle to follow... or it's "movie magic"... you choose! 😆 🤣

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]

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 💡

If you fell it would ruin your day!! Thanks for sharing your journey.

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.😅

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it, Joe. We try to be sensible in how we live but we don't want to "do without" of we don't have to do we're still conscious of our pennies. Enjoy your time and buckle up. We're heading down the road.

Thanks for another fantastic video. I always seem to learn something each and every time. I especially liked the part regarding Inc the composite propane cylinders. I did have a question regarding if you had to do any special venting where they are stored in the basement?

I have the True Toppers. I had them installed 1/9/24 at the Coburg, Oregon location. It’s wonderful and I have seen other people even with snow on and pushing it off. It’s so great and the people couldn’t have been nicer.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Great to hear, Cindy. We're going to Coburg to have them installed. Excited to get it done. Should solve some issues we're starting to experience with our slides.

[@cindylehman1016]

@@bigtruckbigtravels they are wonderful people. The guys are so nice and Heidi that works in the office. The weather was bad when I was there and they actually moved me inside a day early so I weathered the storm inside their building when you go tell him hi from Cindy in Florence.

[@krisklopf1901]

I would love to shop there!! I love the garden spinners and the garden metal artwork!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Lots of those, Kris. I'm glad we don't own a house...we'd buy more stuff! 🤣😂😁

[@mollydoran9488]

Don't cry over spilled coleslaw/sour cream 😱😭 I think you guys are pretty good at rolling with the punches (plenty of experience I'm guessing). Great boon docking video! I learned about composite propane tanks today. When I had my smart 4two, I'd let my three sons - before the oldest had his license - drive our development's one mile long private road to where there is a small market at the end. They'd put the youngest on the back shelf... The macerator pump is a necessity! I wouldn't have an RV without one. I'd name the drone "Discovery" since scouting is part of its mission. Or "Overwatch" if you wanted a military intelligence type name. Thanks for taking us along 👊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Nice names. Thanks. Appreciate your comments. That's a neat experience your children had with you.

[@mollydoran9488]

interesting...comfort food!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]
