Hello Todd! This is Robin and Paul. We met you in The Food Lion parking lot this afternoon in Nags Head and gushed over your fabulous rig prior to directing you out of the parking lot. We hope that all worked out well and you reunited with Sheila for a stellar OBX camping experience. This is our home and we are so proud of our golden strand. We embrace our visitors with much love and we’re happy to guide you to get the most from your visit! We’ll be following you in You Tube and sharing your adventures with others! 🩷🩷

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Thank you so much. You don't know how much you helped my little situation. Really appreciated your timing.

[@jeremyscott6296]

She's a beaut! I love this! Congrats Todd and Sheila. Looking forward to seeing it in person one of these days.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We were faced with the same dilemma 8 years ago when we first started fulltiming. We developed a work-around with our macerator toilet and can now go several weeks without a need to dump it. Our black tank capacity is 50 gallons. Enjoy the experience. See ya!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Well let’s chat!! Maybe in SC?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

@@SwitchItUpLife 😆 We'll be there.

[@alanstallones8624]

It must be exciting to be “newbies “ again! Good luck in everything, and be safe!

[@wanderingwilloughbys1806]

I totally appreciate your transparency with your new home on wheels and your honesty of what its like to drive it all the 1st time! 1 year from now you will look back on this video like you do the others and say man, we have come along way!! Blessings to both of you on your new adventures...

[@MYJ61]

What I find funny is that I work for an RV dealership as a delivery person. When I show people their book of manuals I tell them it’s their “light reading material”! LOL

[@fletchlivesdaily348]

Good luck you two....we are with you in spirit. Stay safe...

[@ariverstonesthrowaway]

So exciting! I was stressed to the max as you were pulling out on the road! Like any new RV, in no time you will get more and more comfortable! Not sure if you use iPhones, if so you can create a shared checklist - as you check items off the list it is immediately shared between the two of you. Comes in very handy - we still use one! Looking forward to you both in SC!

[@wandrousvindella716]

One lucky Penny.....maybe the coop needs to be "Penny". Mack & Penny. I feel like a proud Nanna ~ safe travels & happy trails !

Cool truck

[@neil2809]

NOW THATS A HOME ON WHEELS ! LOOKS GREAT ! I hopr it as great as your last beginner home. GOOD LUCK ENJOY TAKE CARE STAY WELL to ALL

[@jeffwindbigler4199]

Let the fun begin, just remember take your time, slow and easy, you have a lot of rig there. Looking forward to next month.

[@BBaughn12]

Nice job. I've got mad respect for you driving something that big.

[@noelraber7096]

OMG!! Hearing that brake release and seeing it move!!! ❤️❤️ Tears of joy!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Us too girl!!

[@whilewestillcan]

Oh my gosh!!!! So exciting!! I may have been more nervous than you!! Can you believe this day finally came? Rocky and I are so happy for you!

[@MyWinston14]

Wow!! Definitely gives a new meaning of go big or go home!! Absolutely beautiful rig! You guys must be so proud.

[@travisg1759]

She's a beaut Clark!( I mean Todd) That paint job turned out sublime! lol I'm surprised you didn't put a cam inside the rig to see how stuff moves while in motion.

[@DrRodder_Jim]

Maybe a Go-Pro on the next longer pull.

[@petersmith2837]

Love the rig, Todd you are now on your path to being a big trucker! Get your Spacecraft tips from David and Sondra!

[@kevinlucas8437]

😮 huge !!! Best of luck !!! God bless !!!

[@rvgearandfar]

The paint job looks sick!!!! So cool, can’t wait to see it done in person 🎉

[@NoSticksNoBricks]

It’s all coming together fam…we are so happy for you!!🧡🧡🧡

[@scottashe8463]

Congratulations on your new build,glad you didn't have to many problems on your first run.Happy motoring 🎉

[@kathykoeven]

Great video! Nice to see it all out of production and into reality! Good luck 🍀!

[@stoneyvanwie6042]

Absolutely stunning ! Well done on exterior and interior. Love the heavy axles and wheels.

[@kathyrossi4823]

Good job first test. Enjoy!

[@timhartman727]

The rig is incredible. Just check and recheck everything you do with so many things to relearn You guys look exhausted. Be safe out there.

[@cooltrkin]

One thing to remember when turning take as much room as you have if you need it or not. Also when going down hill you can do it a million times to slow, but only once to fast.

[@Powerstroke98]

Very well stated! After driving big rigs for 10 years, getting use to 'slow' on steep mountainous downgrades, is different than with a pickup truck, as the weight pushing you in this rig will be much greater. Slow and easy gets you to your next destination!

[@snowbirdlady7221]

Holy Moley! Congratulations on driving an hour and not losing any glasses. Todd, more power to ya. I didn't like the sound of the one slide either......

[@carolynestrella5986]

Really enjoy you guys. Can’t wait for more to come.

[@bendemby924]

It's great to see you made it on the road again...❤❤❤😊

[@1MillionMileRoadTrip]

Love your new rig, look forward to seeing how you adjust to campgrounds.

[@lepowell9095]

unfortunately you guys are absolutely clueless good luck guys

[@Theo8863]

I would hope your making a written checklist for things to do and check so no damage happens when your getting ready to go. Yeah WoW! I’ll pray for travel protection, revenue to support, awareness and effective learning. God is taking care of you.

[@tonycathyhickman2512]

It’s so beautiful! So much to learn & remember. You both did great. I think everyone watching was on pins & needles too. So thrilled for you to be on the road again ❤

[@dougrobertson87]

You leave me speechless😮

[@luguy8347]

Glad I found you two, looks like a real interesting channel. Happy travels.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Welcome aboard! We are glad you are here!! We are Todd and Sheila - nice to meet you well in a digital kind of way

[@ronaldsova2380]

I pulled modular and double was for almost 30 years for a living. If I've got one word of advice on the open road is to not keep looking left and right out your mirrors, you have a tendency to move that way when you look that way. You wanna look, but just don't do it every 5 seconds. Trust your Instincts. I bet you look beautiful going down the road. Happy for you to.

[@mrmotofy]

Honestly need to train that out of you.

[@neilcherylscott6380]

Neil & I wish you the best of safe travels!!!❤

[@vickywray7285]

Wow! Such a beautiful rig and trailer! The paint job is gorgeous! This was a great video.

[@YoDawg-v6l]

12:52 you see the lip on the steel? You see the rust starting to build up? Seal the entire gap and paint it to prolong the life. Do that on every steel gap you can find if its only been spot welded. If you travel in salt road areas it will blow into those gaps and rot from the inside out.

[@pooperscooper8791]

Can you be more descriptive you idiot, there was steel everywhere in that shot and you couldn’t even say if it was the trailer or the truck dude wake up

[@lauridykstra8684]

Great video! Glad you are ready to travel again! Enjoy!😊

[@sandyhazlett2600]

Love the raw video! Great job you two! 🙌🏻

[@toddryone1883]

Good luck guys! Nice to see it painted!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Thanks 👍

[@clay3580]

Talk about a humbling and intimidating first drive. I saw how low that trailer is and at 77’ you will need to watch some of those truck stops. Just completed a 1800 mile trip with my 65’ and robbed the back of the car hauler trailer twice entering and/or exiting truck stop entrances.

[@SpykersB]

Rubbed? 😂 🍻

[@clay3580]

Yup, “rubbed”! That’s what I get for trying to type on a tiny phone. 😂

[@SpykersB]

@@clay3580 i like the robbing yourself blind idea 😂👍🍻

Congrats Todd and Sheila!!! Looking forward to seeing it in So. Carolina!!

[@Ed_D12]

So exciting to finally see y’all hitting the road in the new rig! 🚛

[@terricarlson5106]

Congratulations and Safe Travels ❤️ C4YT.. and always, for Matt 😘

[@mishafrog8786]

Apart from looking like a wet lettuce CONGRATULATIONS ! you made it. It might be a good idea for a internal and external check lists for each of you then you can check each other also purchase some walkie talkie s (hands free style) so you can send out instructions reversing into tight spots it might save frazzled nerves and vocal cords, only thing i spotted incorrect was zero reg plate on the rear of the trailor which will be a police attraction. After over 35 years winding up landing legs , seeing yours go up on the press of a button was shear envy we just dont have those in the UK . Good luck safe driving and stay away from the soft stuff.

[@edwardantrobusjr2253]

For the most part, commercial rigs require cranking up the legs by hand. I've been doing over 30 years.

[@mike_adams]

Don't forget to open the propane tanks tonight .. 😂 Congratulations on the new rig

[@rusticalaskans6814]

I love it when new adventures start ❤

[@southerngypsy-pollyburnett3104]

What an ordeal for setting up and breaking down. I’m sure it will get easier with practice. Makes my little set up seem so very simple. So happy for you both. Best of luck and safe travels. Looking forward to seeing the new paint job at the South Carolina huddle.

[@scottsmith922]

Practice makes perfect you got this Todd

[@theturneyjourney]

Congratulations on finally moving in and moving on to the next journey 💚💚💚

[@Markhamsonthemove]

Okay it looks so much more homey now than in Tampa for sure. The whole setup is BEAUTIFUL! For the air lines connecting under the license plate, I’m not sure how much friction is there, but they have glad hand “handles” that will protect the airlines right there and strengthen it if needed? This whole setup is just wild and awesome. Good work and congratulations.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Hotwheels59]

Thank you both for sharing your adventures with us. You got this!

[@jimashen4299]

HDT, “Faith” StarCraft, “Abundance” “Faith & Abundance” I’m not solid on a Truck named Faith, but Abundance for the trailer… chefs kiss! God provides abundance so that his children can do his good work. 😉

[@Crabsoup55]

I don't know much about the camping world, but from what I hear it's always something. You two seemed to Quadruple that principle. In the spirit of simplifying life, what in the world possessed you to go so big? Maybe some earlier videos will explain it. i'm not hooked yet, your stress makes me stressed. Godspeed.

[@thedestroyer3262]

Because it's their home and this is more of the drive to a location and stay for a month RV rather than moving on every few days.

[@couttsw]

I recommend you look at how luxury yachts store glassware and plates, they are in constant motion and every wave could be considered a bump. So watch a few videos like aquaholic to look at how glassware is stored.

[@rexthe0245]

love it, but find it funny i had to go to school and have a special license to drive something that big and you dont, kinda scary but hope you enjoy it

[@donjones4372]

Make a check list , when ready to pull out switch, you check hers [ inside ] and she checks yours [ outside ] works good for me and the wife, Happy Trails

[@adriannurse1502]

[@kristinapriest2545]

I'm a Christin, nice to see this channel

[@richlp]

A little bittersweet. So happy y'all are realizing a big dream, but at the same time, I can't help lamenting the loss of the relatable RVers we've followed since the beginning. Happy and safe travels!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Hey there - not sure how we moved to not being relatable? We are the same people - hope you stick around and realize the size of an RV doesn't change us - just like if we moved to a teardrop for a season wouldn't change us either. Thanks for watching!

[@richlp]

Not going anywhere, we'll keep watching... but, to your point, we don't relate to teardrop campers either 😂

[@joyceharris6095]

Thanks for bringing us along on the 1st I pack-up, pull and check over. Great ending to the Revolution video's.

[@leroyf57]

That Rig is BEAUTIFUL

[@BigBisalreadytaken]

I was following and chatting with the HDT community when Paul (?) of Spacecraft passed away. Good to see they're still doing well. People have no idea how nice their product is. Is "Phoenix" still around? His Smart car lift and air ride hitch were works of art.

[@Original_SJB]

Im really impressed by your rig and the interior is amazing.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Thank you

[@icrobicrob2718]

Congrats on your new purchase! Please film the look on the face of the KOA manager when you pull in and ask for six spots all in a row.. lol :)

[@johnsanford4569]

Awesome! Safe travels and remember Buccee's is no longer your friend.

[@West_Virginia_Trucker]

Always always ALWAYS do a tug test. It can literally be hooked up and appear to be latched fine and your fifth wheel just randomly fails. A tug test before raising the landing gear ensures that if it failed, your trailer stays up like it’s supposed to.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Thank you so much.. we were of cautious so we did 2..lol... unfortunately I edited it down and didn't show them. Truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thank you for watching it means a lot to us.

[@scottashe8463]

I know this is a good !! ALWAYS !! FIRST HAND.

[@crewchief8013]

@@SwitchItUpLife ; AWESOME video! I drove big trucks for 26 years and sure wish my wife and I could own a rig like yours. Even after TWO tug tests, you should get under the trailer EVERY time to verify that the fifth wheel's jaw is locked fully around the trailer's king pin.😉

[@rickcarroll4366]

You might want to find that air leak. Every time I saw you start that truck you had to wait for the air to build. That’s not normal unless the truck has been sitting a long time in between start up, like days…. You don’t want to be driving that rig if the air leak decides to completely let go. I’m sure you know the brakes will lockup on you. Good luck with the new setup.

[@cross9494]

That's a big rig y'all have there! Have fun learning new things!!

[@seawolff33]

If you run your idle up a little higher the beeping sound will go away sooner. That is what great look rig!

[@paulsmith1102]

If I saw that, I wouldn’t think somebody was camping I would think a celebrity must be in town for a concert 😎

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Nope just silly us...lol

[@leehensley7711]

I'm happy to see you are in your new home

[@droiddavid2]

Maybe baby safety locks will work for a few of your upper cabinet pulls. Another thing, when your at a truck stop go ask a household mover truck driver if he can give you a rubber bungee they use for wrapping furniture pads. That would work perfectly for the dining room chairs. Just wrap it around all 4 of the chair back rests. I was curious if a camera at the top back facing forward would be a good idea for viewing low branches that you can view from the cab. Looks good guys, a few of my friends and I are placing bets on time frame on how long its gonna take Todd to was the trailer. I've got 4 hrs. No cheating Todd, by using the truck wash companies. (Trailer only)

[@wisrdb]

Need to recover the seats N your rig, everything looks so fresh except the seats ... Awesome setup purdy too. I would be terrified..No guts no glory..Live Love Well.

[@patzke]

Well you took the “go big or go home” a whole new meaning.

[@Indian-Pursuit23]

Super proud of you guys

[@guyinthebiggreentruck]

Would be great to know how much the starcraft cost you guys if you can. Thanks

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Average base cost is $10,000 per linear foot. Then you go up from there depends on what you are wanting to do.

[@mrsmith324]

Congratulations on the gorgeous rig, me jealous. Out of all the videos I've watched about this rig, I have yet to hear anybody mention the special permits that are needed in different states just to drive that rig on their roads. Each state is different.

[@gtnoslp]

Congrats on your first outing! Wow, that's alot of slides!

[@sherieragan765]

Well done! Thanks for sharing! 😘🖖🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

[@chriskilga9708]

New to your channel......as a 35-year truck driver might I suggest that you try taking left turns from the right side of the road instead of the left. Your air lines are not DOT compliant and the plate being there is a hazard to the airlines and electrical line being underneath.

[@w.rfoster6849]

That little kid you collabed with lol...I saw that and had to hit that sub button. Much luck to yall

[@3970danny]

Are you a cdl A holder? As nice as that rig is, it is bigger than my tractor trailer. I pull a 53 foot reefer trailer behind a freightliner cascdia tractor. My max legal weight is 80000 pounds. And I am subject to more laws and regulations.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

In the state of Kansas - Todd needed to get a Non Commercial Class A license - and we are coming in around that 69K mark for weight.

[@lynnejennings8390]

congrats guys. at least you wont be cold tonight!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

And not in a HOTEL!!

[@HighMiler]

You may want to get RAM mounted gps rather that windows mount holder way better in big trucks. Also some states don’t want anything mounted on windshield
