Followed their build and remember answering questions on several of the sites their one. We also are full-time and pull with a converted semi truck. We've been full-time since 2013 and with a Volvo truck since 2014. Over time you carry less repair stuff as you learn what breaks more often, what spares you need to carry etc. We carry small designated totes for 12v electric, 120v electric, RV plumbing, truck air, truck "Plumbing" (radiator hoses, heater hose), RV tire-bearing-suspension, and then various totes for tools. Our Volvo is singled short as well but has a bed with 5 boxes to help store stuff. Currently, we're dragging a DRV Memphis floorplan at 46' and double towing a Smart car behind it. 74' overall.

Hey kids,,, i Usually don't bloviate but,,, given the length of this vid, my enjoyment of this extravaganza hit me about ten levels up from your previous work and held me beginning to end.

Hey Tom would like to just thank you for for the great video ,unbelievable that you flew all the way out there to interview these folks. I especially like this video because I am undetermined which way to go, If I go with a 5th wheel it will definitely be a big rig. I watch Sweet Travels On their channel and really didn't Realize that the big rig was an option or how big that setup has actually grown.So great to see that set up not sure if I would go to that extent If I did decide to go with a big rig but I can definitely see the advantages in what he has done. So would just like to thank you for the video. Safe travels back home

What an amazing family they deserve all the happiness on their travels. I will say jealousy is a nasty disease and I'm suffering from it immensely with their setup. I also fear the unknown of driving a fifth wheel around but something about that truck that says everything will be okay. Amazing video Tom just said that Sheri wasn't with you to see your favorite spot. I will say with all the travels I've shared with you it is definitely my favorite spot as well and I hope one day to be able to be there .

Great job showing and telling, I have a 30’ lots of fun for sure. Well have fun see ya next time see ya bye.

[@r2db]

This looks like an incredible rig, but one minor issue is that particular tractor is not designed to haul 80k pounds (28:36). With only one drive axle, regardless of engine horsepower, it is probably specced for about 7k more than you can legally do with your rig. In other words the tractor can haul at 66k pounds GCWR but you are at 59k: 12k steers, 20k drives, 27k for the three trailer 9k singles. The lowest weight rating (axle, tire, or state regulations) controls that number for each axle, so be very careful when you replace tires or you may lose weight capacity.

[@51-FS]

Can't not for hire trucks do what they want?

[@r2db]

@@51-FS I do not recommend driving overweight to see for yourself. You might get away with it for some time, but you may not. If you make it obvious the police absolutely will notice and the only thing that matters for commercial versus personal use is in the former case the violation goes against the company and the driver instead of the driver alone. The states where I have registered large vehicles for personal use charge significantly more for those vehicles based upon their weight. They have a reason for doing so, and the registered weight has been on every vehicle registration I have had for large vehicles - personal use or commercial. Tires and axles don't care if you are driving your personal vehicle or using the vehicle in commerce. If you exceed the weight rating you are operating the vehicle in an unsafe manner, which is unlawful. Many of the regulations for commercial vehicles do not apply to vehicles not used in commerce, but operating the vehicle safely is the obligation of every single driver using the roads.

[@BoostedFJ]

You are correct. I was referring to what the tractor was originally intended to haul. We are 48,080lbs loaded and full of water, diesel, and truck on back. We plan to add another 1000lbs in solar but that’s about it for us. We should be right at 50,000lbs unless we dump 200gal of water when we tow. Then we should be right back to where we are now. As for tires, that’s why we went to the 17.5 Alcoa and double coin rubber, the last thing we would do now is skimp on safety ;-)

[@r2db]

@@BoostedFJ I have been thinking of starting with a standard dry box and building it into an RV myself, but mounting yours on a high-quality trailer was definitely a stroke of genius. Tires are hard to come by at the current moment, but they truly are a safety-critical item. Another thing that may be problematic is the pickup truck's overhang. I don't know if you have and/ or use flags/ lights for the rear of the truck but in states such as Arizona any overhang at all requires one (daytime) or both (night).

[@BoostedFJ]

@@r2db We we’re hauling the pickup temporarily, the Crawler is with us 90% of the time and it’s 4ft shorter with no overhang.

Q WOW, what a unit. Nice looking. I know it was mentioned, as each Sate registration is different, but you would think you would need a air break endorsement on license. I wouldn't think that heavy unit is hydrolic and the trailer electric breaks. You would think just the GVW would make you have some kind of endorsement. Even for a "RV"

[@ThePackDad]

If you're lucky enough to enjoy RV'ing in the more open parts (west) of this beautiful land, then you may not know how good you have it. RV'ing in the east and looking at folks in the west can feel like driving a go-cart at NASCAR. So much potential out there, but we won't get time for it till the kids grow and I retire. Local east is fun, but hooooweee do I want to head west. 🙂

[@anthonygraham2956]

I have been dreaming of this set up for years.

[@chaddevine565]

This guy being a fabricator he is very smart it is 100% correct and everything that he speaks of especially the turning radius of that Volvo with the Volvo tractor being a single axle tractor it turns even better but besides that Volvo tractors turn very short to begin with even if it were a tandem also what he speaks about having his axles on his trailer so far for work helps his turning capability as well you can definitely tell that a very capable fabricator owns and built this setup very well done

[@NTM2009]

Another option with washer is to have a separate grey tank just for washer and recycle water through a filter system. Friends removed their bathroom in garage and installed washer dryer there and used the black tank from that bathroom as washer grey tank. Works well and hasn't had any issues in 5 years
