Heavy Wrecker Road Trip After Vacation Goes WRONG!

This class A RV lost the engine while the family was out on a vacation, and was brought to a storage facility in California. The family loaded up what they could in their towed vehicle and headed back for home. So I took the @zackliftinternational4841 down to get it hooked up and towed back north to Oregon for them

I want you to know what an impact your videos have. My husband is a first responder here on the Oregon Coast. He had a car go into a river last week and he had to go in the water because the guy (drunk) was submerged 3/4 of the way and he was trapped. Hubby had to hook up the truck to be towed out. He said he learned the best place to hook up a car was through your videos. You just never know who your video will impact so keep up the good work!

[@btankful]

@@meateater4life551 Might as well wave a flag saying "I'm frustrated!" That kind of remark doesn't come from anything out here, everyone but you knows it's from your own inner frustration.

[@BrawnierTurnip]

I love when there is someone on the scale and they wave me by. Nothing worse than getting stuck with inspections.

[@timbuckingham6734]

The sleeper talk, almost sounds like trying to talk yourself into a new truck😮 keep the content coming thanks Casey

[@CaseyLaDelle]

Nope, the truck is great, and the sleeper can be changed out if needed

[@timbuckingham6734]

Talking about your sleeper.....when you are starting to hook up......in the background about 8:19......someone needs an entire cab!

@@CaseyLaDelle you need to spoil yourself with a V8 scania.

[@Allurade]

@@MrLarsgren I have literally never seen a Scania truck in America. I'm almost positive they aren't imported. For one thing, they wouldn't sell because American truckers generally prefer conventionals over cabovers.

The Chevron station in Weed looks the same as it did in late December of 1992 when my girlfriend and I (we've since been married for 27 years) pulled off of I-5 in a blizzard on our way home to Seattle from spending Christmas with her mom in Laguna Beach. We were only following tracks in foot-deep snow - if they led off a cliff, we would have gone off the cliff. I was driving my '82 Toyota Corolla - rear wheel drive with crappy Toyo summer tires. We stopped at the Chevron station to gas up and take a break from very stressful driving. There was a CHP officer refueling his vehicle. He asked us which way we were heading - north or south. We said "north". He said "once you get back on I-5 and head north, it turns to rain just a couple of miles on". He was right - and it rained even over the Siskiyou summit. We still think about that Chevron and that CHP officer and thank him for for his advice!

Do the Bruce Cook roll, always giving Bruce a hard time. Lol

My thought exactly.....if you watched Bruce's 6 part series on upgrading Denny's jeep, Denny was rolling around on the shop floor I thought it was Bruce for a second. Bruce is awesome and "I Hate Casey LaDelle"

[@jacobrowley8283]

Once upon a time when I was a young lad, we were unloading quads in a parking lot getting ready for a day trip. There was a gentleman doing the same thing. He was strapping a cooler to the front of his rig, when one of those all rubber bungee cords broke and sent the metal “S” hook went through his cheek just below his eye. Needless to say my dad and I loaded his wheelers back onto his trailer and his wife drove him to the nearest hospital. The solid rubber bungee cords scare the crap out of me to this day

[@joshpitsch8570]

That roll with the pov cam was hilarious

[@stephenlewis8143]

The detail & meticulous manner in which you attach the motorhome is remarkable. You have a skill level and experience that shows in your videos. Very impressive. You provide a real service to the public.

[@southstreetbarbecue7875]

The sleeper was always some of the best sleep I got. At home, when I lay down I end up thinking of all the stuff I need to do or could be doing. In the truck, once I lay down there's literally nothing else I can really be doing so I'm more relaxed. It's all psychological, but it works for me. And dumping your air bags to increase the rear clearance isn't a rookie move. You may not have ever pulled out of that particular driveway, but you definitely know how to deal with grades and off-camber sections.

[@andrewtaylor7075]

I started driving in the 70s and it was not long before I would get a motel room and not being able to sleep I would go out to my truck and sleep well, after 45 years driving I retired 4 years ago I still don't sleep in a house worth a damm.

[@michaelcarpenter557]

The answer is yes. The years of experience allowed you to make a wild ass guess. Which worked the way you wanted it to.

[@paulabes4220]

Casey you have never lost your light bar you just misplaced it until it appeared again.

[@judithburke1539]

It was lost, but it was found and returned back home by a kind rescuer.

[@johnnyadams1755]

It wasn't lost...he just didn't know where he left it.😂

[@t.l.robinson2162]

The RV owner was very lucky to get you. A lot of tow truck owners will not tow class A motor homes.

[@cassiebell1483]

100% appreciate the explanation why the high side of the forks goes in the front. Makes sense, and i can see myself applying this knowledge in my daily banking job 😂

[@donniethebeau-dr1qp]

Casey I would not worry about what the haters think you got to do what you got to do the safest way that you know😊

[@genegoodman5233]

Listening to some of the comments you get about not pulling a motor home with 2 ratchet straps doesn’t make sense. I guess some of your viewers have never done anything outside or don’t understand anything. I’ve never used a wrecker but I’ve worked all my life, pulled trailers, hauled tractors,owned several camper and motor homes. I wouldn’t try doing what you do without a lot of training, but I understand what you do and why. I’ve had one or two questions about something but eventually I get an answer just kept watching. I think you had a lot of teaching from your grandfather, don’t remember much about a father. Most and always the best teacher is doing, you learn something new almost every day if you pay attention. Thanks Casey for your videos, gives me something to do during the day, disabled 24 years. Love what you do with the Patron account, joined it a year ago or 2. Stay safe. Love your family.

[@lopin890]

Howdy Casey🤠 "We'll do the BRUCE-ROLL....it works!!" (You're killin' me Smalls!🤣🤣) Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Bummer about the guy hitting the deer, but great that he saved it in the dirt on the shoulder of the road and didn't involve you at all.. could have been a big mess dragging that deer along under the low motorhome! (that guardian angel is riding shotgun in your truck😇) Safe travels, friend ❤❤ Stay FROSTY... Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel... 🇺🇲🇺🇲WWG1WGA🇺🇲🇺🇲NCSWIC🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@aliceevans3357]

I love being able to go back and rewatch a part in the videos- signs, scenery, etc. I wondered why that pickup hit the shoulder, when you reroll the video you can see that deer just sliding out of your way with a bit of wheel turn. Reminder folks, crap happens quickly and unexpectedly. I also saw that $5.33 a gallon for fuel. Here in Oklahoma we're gripping about $3.27 a gallon, up from $2.99! Enjoy you telling us what you're doing, you never know when you're going to need something from what you learn at Casey's school of life. Stay safe and GOD bless

[@murraycooper]

I built a shelf across one end of my sleeper to put my microwave on and my feet slid under it for sleeping. Worked great.

[@LuisDiaz-ms5rm]

Like I said before you're a hell of a worker and you have a heart on you that probably nobody in the industry of towing has you go out for hours for rescue and you don't charge nobody nothing you're an amazing person keep up the hard work that you do 💪💪

Oh I absolutely charge for the work I do. There are the off road recovery cases that I do for free, but my towing services are absolutely charged for

Love the view from your mobile office. Had to rewind the video a couple times to see the deer hit, that’s why your never swerve to miss it, as that truck was lucky to save it from going off road and crashing

[@robertr4193]

Glad it went smooth for you on this job. Also glad the guy that hit the deer did not come in to your lane or off the road completely on the other side. Would have been a worse day for him if it had gone off the shoulder on the other side. Stay safe and healthy. Take care.

Hi Casey, out of all the videos you make, these travel ones are my favorite. Got some health problems and cannot travel so seeing your windshield time is really great. Thanks for making them and thanks for leaving the scenic views in. Take care of yourself.

Hit on your backup camera and no place it keep it off the windshield. I have three trucks where I mounted the screen on the upside of the visor. Totally out of sight and you just flip it down to see in reverse. My pickups are easy to see rearward so I usually only use the camera to back up to a trailer with the camera pointed down at the ball. Enjoy your Channel, stay well

Going over that driveway hump also helped by off-roading to a degree as well

[@georgeparker7409]

Air bags/new equipment make a world of difference. I can remember the "ole daze" when to make long trips and some short trips having to take off the front wheels. What a pain! However, that was sort of common back in the 1950's/1960's. 1944 AUTOCAR ex NAVY tractor with a 50 ton winch. top speed about 45 MPH. 6 cyl HERCULES gas with a non syncro 5 speed and a 2speed rear with not a way to downshift it. Your work skills/knowledge/ and style of presentation is spot on. Thanks!

[@rasalas2x]

"Back in the day" we used to call the add on sleepers "coffin boxes". Often times the access was only the rear window hole and it took a lot of faith in the co-driver to squeeze through the small opening into the 24" wide bunk.

[@lonhoschar1943]

If you need that seal super tight after you seal it grab the end that you pulled through up close to the seal block with pliers and roll the pliers. It pulls them super tight. That’s how I seal my trailer with them.

Casey, even though I do not have a RV or a Big Ridge, I have been towed many times in my 48 year of driving and you are the best. So, who are these know-it-alls who are criticizing your methods?

18:16 “we’ll do the Bruce roll” 😂😂😂 19:46 do you have a smaller impact? You can use that to take them off after breaking them loose. 38:35 nice! Just cleared perfectly. That gps is nice and has great features. I have a Garmin that does all that which is great

[@arwenevenstar9843]

Thank you for explaining the bolt on sleeper cab option. Now it makes a bit of sense. It's a shame your "headache" rack can't be bolted on to your sleeper. Then you can cut a hole in your sleeper for the microwave and fridge. But, I guess I have been watching too much custom work done by others...

[@robertmcbee4671]

I thought Hwy 97 looked familiar! Back in the 80's I used to drive from Portland to Phoenix and back again and always ran I-5 to 58 to 97 and back to I-5. One week I ran to Oakland with a load of instant mashed potatoes for KFC. My return load was a stop at Libby's in Sacramento with a load of canned fruit salad. I wasn't licensed to haul it. All the scales were closed except for the one at Oakridge, which was normally closed. I got the red light to bring my papers in and all I brought was my log book. He asked me, "What are you hauling?". I said mixed fruit without a blink. He said, "OK", and I drove off. Had I been caught... hooey! That would have been expensive! Unfortunately I don't drive anymore. Sure do miss it! Stay safe!
