CRATER OF DIAMONDS CAMPGROUND. Unexpected Joy. HDT Travel Plans. RV LIFE. Fulltime RV. RV Lifestyle

Short travel day but what awaits us could be an issue. The parking lot is full so where do we go? A tight turn could lead to a truck issue so we have to be careful.
We've never mined for diamonds before but this is the 8th Largest Diamond Reserve in the World...in Murfreesboro, Arkansas! I'm going to take Sondra to some diamonds...but she's going to have to work for them...and more than likely get dirty!
Come join our Facebook Group, Big Truck Big Travels to get more details on our travels such as Alaska itinerary, annual costs and such.

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.

We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a bundle each time we fill up our Big Rig. We also use it to fill up our Onan generator.
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.

[@billstoys8324]

You know that your wife loves RVing when she gets excited about a nice dump station. Nice job navigating in tight spaces.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You got that right! Oh... it's the little things in the RV world which get us excited! Thanks, Bill for hanging in there and watching the channel.

[@bounderchris]

Imagine you turn the corner and there’s road block with towns people holding torches saying you have to turn back for mispronouncing their town 😂😂

[@scottmichaels6854]

It is funny when locals expect everyone to know how to pronounce their weirdly pronounced city name.😁

[@BajaGirl302]

It’s just rude! 😝😳🤣

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 🤣 you know...I was mildly concerned about that...just sayin'.

[@carolpowerslavenderdreamsc1599]

That was a beautiful campground!! We'll be in Montana the end of June and we're thinking of trying our luck at digging for sapphires. Never done it before looks like fun. Hope you had fun with the grandkids. 💜

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Have fun, Carol. Always great to see the grandchildren! Good luck on your dig.

[@dankarau2307]

There are 3 active Diamond Mines in Canada and 1 that has already been shutdown. There are also 100's of potential targets that have been found in the Canadian Arctic. I personally worked at the EKATI Diamond Mine, which is where the Famous Ice Road Truckers were heading to in Season 1. I managed the Ice Road for EKATI.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Very cool. Wow! Did not realize that! Appreciate the comments.

[@richardross3172]

But David, you already found your diamond! (That diamond is a pretty good spotter too!)😊

[@kaycash8575]

We love watching your videos we always look forward to watching both of you on Thursday evening. Thanks for taking us along for the ride

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Very true, Richard... that's enjoy I wasn't overly concerned about finding one! 😉

[@steveddavis]

New vocation to add to your CV - Miners ⛏

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 🤣 Thanks, Steve but that would be in name only...I don't think we did true miners justice! Lol 😆

[@veledadutoit1707]

Crater of Diamonds is semi local for us. We stay at the state park often. Spot 35 is our spot.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Nice. Beautiful area and park.

[@tippybird]

I’m from central Ar and the town is Heber Springs Ar. Ar is a pretty state in the northern part. Happy travels and hope you find a diamond.

[@karenenglish4900]

Been to Heber Springs and love the area.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. Love the northern part of Arkansas. We had great weather.

[@lindacox8156]

I loved how you talked about your diamond events Sondra👍😊❤️‼️And David- the excellent driver prevails again‼️👍😊 Thanks for taking us with you to searc for diamonds I have always wanted to see the st up at that place.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Our pleasure, Linda! Thanks for watching each week!

[@tananelsen5655]

We watch you constantly on out TV. Decided to catch you on the phone. We live in Wyoming and leaving for Alaska June 11 to take a caravan thru. We. Have been travelers in Alaska this being our 4th year.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Very nice. You're the experts on Alaska travel! Have a great time. It's a fantastic trip. Thank you for watching.

[@JoeyJackson-200T]

I wanted to share with you that I was at a Whataburger on Atlantic blvd in Jax beach Florida this past Saturday. I took a picture but could not figure out how to post it. It sure was good. You cannot go wrong with a whataburger. The folks that wait on you are always polite.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you had a good experience, Joey. I've always had a good meal at Whataburger and the people are usually very friendly.

[@sandraimschweiler]

Wow! That’s some teamwork on navigating that corner!! Digging for diamonds seems fun but also a lot of work! Another great video! 😎

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it, Sandraim, definitely more work than expected but fun experience.

[@adriannurse1502]

I don't care if you found a diamond or not. You spent the day digging for one. You deserve a shirt.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

There is something to what you say, Adrian. But even with all the digging we didn't feel like we earned a shirt. Besides... we have a ton of them! 😆 🤣

[@franciscoayala1116]

Hello Friends,how are You,pako greets You from Jalisco México,what beautiful landscapes,what a Nice place , good maneuver to park they truck congratulations a hug for both of you greetings

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Hello 👋 my friend, Pako, great to hear from you again. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks

[@kristenj3517]

LOL This past weekend was my first time out in my travel trailer this year... let's just say I need to re-hone my backing up skills! Good thing I wasn't in a rush and I'm not a quitter! And I don't have 73 feet! And yes, bacon in the morning in a campground... *happy feelings*

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It's always a challenge to get back in the swing of things regarding backing up the trailer. You got this! It's not intuitive nor natural but it sounds like you persevered! And yes, it helps to NOT be 73 feet! 🤣😂Hope the first outing went well. Appreciate your comments and time watching the channel.

[@i70show]

This just makes me glad I don't have a Big Rig..... cool Video !

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. It's not for everyone... sometimes I wish we had a Transformer rig which gets shorter! But we've always been able to get to where we want to go.

[@christygr]

I enjoyed watching you both experience another new thing. Couldn’t watch until today as we have been without power since early Friday morning after 3 tornadoes came through Tallahassee very close to our house. All is well. It was killing me not to be able to watch your video but my internet connection wasn’t good enough to watch any videos. You both always put a smile on my face. Too bad you didn’t find a diamond but you did have a priceless experience, again! I look forward to this week’s video, which will be in only a few days! Safe travels.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you so much, Christy. We're glad nothing happened to you but tornados are nothing to take lightly. Sorry about the power outage but glad it's back now.

[@bryancarlson3673]

I went digging for "diamonds'" at Herkimer, New York State! Herkimer Diamonds!!! So fun!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh kay...Bryan, that is great. Didn't know NY had that site. Thanks

[@raoulroberts]

You know your rig is gargantuan when you reckon a tree won't do much damage to it.😂 On the likelihood of finding diamonds or seeing otters, I'd say there's a chance of seeing the otters digging and finding diamonds.😅

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 🤣 😂 sad but true! 😆

[@scottmichaels6854]

I agree with David, there’s nothing like the smell of bacon when you’re camping. That was a great RV site! Thanks for the video. Stay safe!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You got that right, Scott! That is probably the best smell...and most cruel thing to do while camping...especially if I can't get any!

[@kristinapriest2545]

great working together, thats what its all about,

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh yeah! Great teamwork!

[@kesrogers4559]

Love watching your video's from Australia 🇦🇺

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Awesome! Thank you! Love the down under views and comments. Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃

[@kennisjarvis8105]

Another fun video! Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey.

[@tommoraga8318]

Sorry you didn’t find diamonds 😂 maybe next time…..

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you... maybe next time...not! 😆 🤣

[@reinnet2u]

Another showing David’s amazing driving skills and Sondra’s fantastic guiding. Great teamwork!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Teamwork is key in this lifestyle. No doubt about it. Thank you

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

What a pleasant spot even if you didn't find any diamonds! I've never been to Arkansas, it's very pretty down there.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It's really nice, Carol but of course, the weather was ideal so it's easy to enjoy it. The campground was a very pleasant surprise. 😊

[@ablais007]

Great video. FYI This 552.7 ct yellow diamond (54.5 × 34.9 × 31.8 mm) from the Diavik mine in Canada is by far the largest diamond found to date in North America.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks for the info! Was that found by an individual? That is sooo huge!

[@jessicaw.6321]

How are you and your family? I leave in the Chattanooga Tennessee area and I know about the tornado that touched down in the Huntsville Alabama area. Just wanted to check on everybody and pray that they are all right.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you, Jessica. That is very sweet of you to check. They got a lot of flooding but no damage and everyone is safe. We hope the storms bypassed you as well.

[@jessicaw.6321]

I am fine and my family and friends too. Thank God!

[@shelleypresley9558]

Ready Set Go!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh... we're going, Shelley! 😆 🤣

[@BajaGirl302]

I went there! It was fun! I needed more time! I’m going back soon!!!🥰

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You go! It was fun... but for us, once was enough.

[@comeoncarebear]

Thank you for another great video watching you from Cathlamet WA state.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences.

[@pamp8812]

Another cool video! Thank you!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you liked it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel.

[@JoeyJackson-200T]

Sling your hat out in the field. Dig where it lands, lol

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 🤣 Joey, that's a great idea! Thanks. You should have been out there to suggest it!

[@destinysisco3142]

Beautiful site. ❤😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yes it was! Thanks, Destiny.

[@ptwhd]

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Uh oh! Good to know, Thomas. Thank you. 😃

[@paulgarza122]

Great video that looked like a lot of fun and your camping site looked real relaxing. Good luck and God Bless your continued trip, I’ll be looking forward to your next video!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Appreciate that, Paul. Our camp site was amazing with spectacular weather too!

[@lisaannjoseph6454]

Happy vacations ❤❤❤❤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

🤗 Thanks!

[@cvx2dog549]

Looking for diamonds was not for us. Hope you went crystal hunting, that was fun!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Maybe next time, diamonds were the only activity we did this time. Thanks for the comment.

[@Sunnysa123]

🎉🎉🎉🤗🤗💕

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Woohoo!

[@sheilarounds5286]

Hello from Central New York. Another great video. I was going to mention Herkimer Diamond Mines but I see it has already been mentioned. There is a KOA right near it. There is also Garnet mines in the Adirondacks. In Albany which is our capital city the state museum is very interesting. They have exhibits on New York City, the World Trade Center and 9/11, The Adirondacks and a lot of New a York stuff. Vermont has Marble Quarries. A lot to see in New York State. We enjoy your travels s lot.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Sheila. We can't wait to visit NY in a few years. Lots to see and experience.

[@ML-kx9gz]

am I crazy or is this sht bananas they are like vanlife? hold my brewpop brohammer.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Dude, we have taken vanlife to a whole new level! And we don't need a 24Hour Fitness to shower! 🤣😂

[@ML-kx9gz]

@@bigtruckbigtravels love it!

[@raoulroberts]

That thimble-full of precious minerals you 'amassed' mightn't even be worth a Church's nugget or a single Whataburger pattie. Even funnier was that 'shiny dirt' everyone was squinting at, so much so that you might make good money selling monacles, magnifying lenses, and tweezers.😄 I agree though, Crater of Diamonds State Park includes a beautiful, big-rig-friendly campground with a unique way to pass the time. Thank you for the fun and safe travels, Sondra and David!👍🏾🙏🏾❤️

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 🤣 we're thinking it's worth maybe a small soda! That's a great idea about the magnifying lens! 😆 🤣 that's where the real money is, in the supplies! 😆 🤣 Thanks for your support each week.

[@krisklopf1901]

Very pretty campsite!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We really enjoyed it, Kris. So nice and pleasant.

[@Threadsandjars]

As always a wonderful way to spend a life in peace and tranquility. Thanks for your work. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings, Morgan

😊😎😀

[@ariverstonesthrowaway]

What a nice campground. I had a bit of anxiety wondering what was around the next corner. Love State parks and COEs but many were built when big rigs were - well not so big! Enjoying Magnolia Beach now and then off heading towards Arizona. Travel safe!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yes, always a bit of anxiety where there's lots of trees! How was Magnolia Beach? We've stayed on Port Aransas Beach. We enjoyed the campground and loved our site. Arizona? Starting to get warm out there...

[@ariverstonesthrowaway]

@@bigtruckbigtravels We loved it. It was great to be able to park about 15' from the water edge. It was too hot and humid which caused a haze all around. Love to come back when it is a bit cooler - and bring my kayak!! Glad we made the stop.

[@user-ej2iq5pu8k]

My dad always said "an inch is a good as a mile". It made me smile to hear y'all say that. Also, I visited the Crater Of Diamonds 8-10 years ago. I did not find anything but someone did find a good one about a week later. They turned the dirt a day or so before the diamond was found. Guess I was a week too soon.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

I think we were a week too late. they had graded the area about 1 month before we got there. It was a great experience. We like that saying your Dad said...it's our motto! 😂🤣😎

[@tomasitaalicea5596]

Hello guys,Thank you for another great video and great laugh, love watching your videos, I look forward every week,David makes me laugh, just be safe and careful, may god bless you .? 💜💜💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you like them! We really appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching.

[@ferraritoybox]

Maybe they salt the diamonds so people will come & search 4 diamonds 😂😂 have fun

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Well...Sondra did get a little "salty" at the end of the day...but I think that was because she wanted a cold Diet coke! 😂🤣

[@JackTrenor]

Just watched your trip to the diamond mine and want to thank you for providing “smile time” every week.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Wow, thank you, Jack. We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey.

[@karenenglish4900]

Never heard of this park but looks addictive if living close by. Waiting to see your vlog with Switch It Up. Saw clips of you and know we missed you here in GA. We are just north of I-20 near AL. Stay safe as Spring storms are all over. Love watching you 2. BTW, don't recall ever knowing David's occupation. Care to share? Be Blessed

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Be safe with those storms, Karen! We enjoyed the huddle and Savannah was fun. Cool city. See you next week. Oh, I was in Logistics as an occupation.

[@gregorymg2006]

Crater of Diamonds has been on my bucket list for several years. We always enjoy your videos! Safe travels!

It was a great experience, Sylvia. Not sure we'd dig again for those shiny rascals...but we'd go back to the campground. Thank you.

[@dianadery5037]

Hi, what headphones do you use. Do they work if there's no cell service ? We're headed to a thousand trails near San Diego & absolutely no cell service. Thank you

[@elzabethmorgan8020]

Thanks for another great video! You make a great team with driving and guiding - perfection! Gorgeous park, nice to see the early green of spring. Looking forward to your next blog. (Btw - my name’s Elizabeth ; gmail gave me that silly “Elzabeth”). Safe travels.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Appreciate your comments, Elizabeth... and I'll make note of the Google faux pas! Thank you. It was a really nice park...especially after 3 months in the desert.

[@karenscott2080]

My husband and I love to watch your travels. We live in PA near Gettysburg and would like to know if or when you would be coming this way so we could met you nice people?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Hey Karen, that would be great but we left Gettysburg this past Monday. We'll be back...normally we post on our FB Group (Big Truck Big Travels) where we'll be heading. Thanks

That was pretty cool you guys! Totally different setting but really neat. Thanks for the ride!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@janicelantz3788]

Loved it. One of my favorite videos. Good to see the trees and the country east.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Janice. It was good for us since we had just come back from 3 months in the desert, while beautiful is still not a lot of big trees and green.

[@lesleyweller4518]

Been there done that! Now you will have to go to the sapphire mine in Franklin NC, just west of Asheville.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We've been to Asheville... but usually it's to Biltmore. Thanks 😄

[@WildBlueWanderers]

That’s a beautiful campground. We will add it to our list. Thanks for sharing.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Our pleasure! It was really nice... I'm thinking in the summer it would be hot and buggy.

[@BLUECREEK333]

I can't believe you passed on telling us how "GREAT" the fire ring grate was. Must be getting Presidential.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

I know... I'm ashamed at missing that one but I was focused on the fire. Next time!

[@toddwmac]

"How do you get it down?" Really? You should have answered "We use extra strength helium in tires so we can just lift it up there". :)

[@raoulroberts]

The week of diamonds was quite circular with the sun and moon starting things off, then David coming full circle in Murfreesboro only to encounter the roundabout in the center of town, not to mention that expertly navigated and driven circular driveway at the visitor's center, and we're only 14 minutes into the show.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 that was a quick 14 minutes!

[@kevinplunkett6393]

We tried it a few years ago, didn’t find any diamonds but interestingly enough my water filter had small flakes of gold in it. Very pretty campground and trails to hike.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Well...that's interesting, Kevin. I had to replace my filter soon after leaving there. Hmmm...wonder if it's connected?

[@seancasey2444]

You need a flyrod to catch some trout.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

True...but then I'd have to clean them! 🤣😂😎

Anywhere I want, lol

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😂🤣😎True...

[@melindaroberts4921]

Beautiful camp site. Sorry you did not find that valuable diamond…. lol But you did get the stamp, did you buy the shirt?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Hey, Melinda. Nope. No shirt...we didn't "earn" it. Maybe next time...hmmm...next time in the campground that is!

[@ferraritoybox]

Surfs up

Thanks for another great vlog that diamond hunting looks brilliant but if you find one do you get to keep it or do they give you something else .

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Rose. Finders keepers! Whatever you find is yours. You can report it to them or just stick it in your pocket. Either way it's yours with zero tax implications.

How many diamonds you need David? You already have one as your co-pilot!!

Love watching y’alls adventures… will y’all be coming through Georgia?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Only to get to Savannah. Then back north to PA.

[@nikkid7838]

@@bigtruckbigtravels Savannah is beautiful. We are in North Central Georgia, closer to the Tennessee border than Savannah. Well, if y’all happen to go down the 575 or through Ball Ground. Stop by… we have 15 acres you can boondock on.

My class c is big enough for me.

My 2002 Jeep Liberty will have to do.But I did get my Lottery tickets tonight.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That's fantastic! Our Class C was great for Alaska but we want our home to be a little more comfy.

In about a month when the humidity 90% and the temperature hits90+ you will be missing the desert.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That is sooo true! We're hoping to be back out west by June 1.

@@bigtruckbigtravels Wow you are going to have some heavy travel days ahead of you.

[@terry3193]

Hi guys, I was wondering if you ever regret buying a rig that is so long or maybe consider downsizing? We have a 45’ luxury Class A DP which I just had to have and we love but I’m now thinking of downsizing to something around 38’. It seems like it’s too big and kind of stressful to drive as I am always worried if we can fit, get in or out, get stuck, etc. plus, I miss camping in some forest areas where the sites are limited in size. We’ll see. Thanks for sharing!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Hey, Terry, if we had a house and RVed for only a few weeks or months at a time then we would definitely have a smaller rig. But, this is our home and we love traveling in it. So no, we've never second guessed our decision. Our size has never prevented us from going where we want to go.

Hello 🤗 what watching see next yet or wait on next month of June 🤞😊

Hi, Catherine, we'll be here... traveling.

Did I see you guys at a switch it up rally?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You did, Kathy. Good observation! The huddle schedule coincided with our travel plans so we wanted to check it out...plus give Todd and Sheila any tips on their new SpaceCraft to help them out.
