THEY SAID WE'D FIT! True Toppers Custom Spacecraft. WE'RE THE FIRST. HDT RV Travel. RV Life.

We are going where no Spacecraft trailer has gone before! It's a patented product and we're the first! But will we fit? Was this an RV Mistake?
After the West Coast HDT Rally we head to Oregon to have True Toppers install their product on our slides. We hope it will solve some problems for us.
Sondra also reveals where she wants to go to complete her map!
It's another adventure!

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, Switch it Up 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. We're not exactly taking Life in the Slow Lane but we do stop and smell the roses.
Our journey is the destination. We want to share our experiences of our discovery of What's Next.
I get my music 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:

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

Irene Iron Travels had the Topper done to their rig a few months ago and they are very happy. I talked to the guys at the FMCA rally back in Perry Georgia and was very impressed with them. It can be done in Oregon, Mississippi, or Florida as I understand it. Irene Iron showed the installation process on theirs too and as you showed, they are very professional.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

They are expanding dealers who can install. We're hoping it takes care of water and leaves.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That's interesting. Toppers are doing good. We have a little more testing in different conditions and maybe another tweak. Thanks

[@joanwettlaufer3769]

Great episode! (Confession: I ended up watching it TWICE. The first time because my husband was busy and I couldn't wait to see it; the second time I watched it with him). Watching David back the Spacecraft into that limited space brings me back to several years ago when my Dave had to let a little air out of the tires just so that our RV could fit into the garage. I always had to watch and guide him because of the air conditioner on top! You see, many years ago,we built a new garage and they poured the foundation wrong! We had no intention of fitting the RV into it; it's 38 ft! Well, once the mistake had been made, we ended up with a much taller garage than anticipated (so much so, that our nephew nicknamed it "the garage-mahal" 😂). Well, my Dave did some measuring and realized that yes, it would indeed FIT into the garage. So every time we come home from a trip, I'm tasked with helping him back it in. It's still a tight fit getting it through the garage door...but thankfully we replaced the air conditioner with another unit and now we don't have to think about it. Those were scary times; I can relate! Have a great week 😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Joan. It was a very tight fit. Actually, tighter than we were told it would be. I love the "garage-mahal"! That's funny.

Welcome to Oregon. We are from So. Oregon. This was so fun to watch. It would have been fun to see u traveling down the road. We were camping at Lava Beds National Park and took in the caves, went to Lofton Reservoir boondocking, home, then up to Diamond Lake , ( fire close) so back between Union Creek and Prospect and dispersed camped at a beautiful area. Camp was great and no one around. Went up to Huckleberry Creek to a meadow and a doe wanted to come up to us. We wouldn't have let her get too close :). She laid down behind us behind a log. Fun videos and pictures. My husband was a wildlife biologist and this was fun. No water or hookups, no campers, quiet and an hour from Crater Lake. Lots of mountain roads with dispersed camping. We have a 24 foot trailer. We lived in Summer Lake, Oregon years ago. One daughter got married at Coburg, and u went by the little church where the outside ceremony was beautiful. Held our breath as u backed in. Be blessed, stay safe.

Nice Job Guys!!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

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

[@MrScorebord]

Nice video to watch again. But about those roundabouts. So you have to use your turn signal. When you go on it you actually turn left and turn on your left turn signal. As long as you turn left, your indicator will remain on. When you leave, indicate right. This way you communicate better with drivers who want to enter the roundabout. That is my advice as a Dutch driving instructor and is a rule in the Netherlands. It prevents misunderstandings and traffic can enter the roundabout earlier when you indicate that you are leaving. For the rest? Bring on those great videos. America is beautiful. And so are you.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That is very true and good advice which we will heed on all future roundabouts we encounter. Thank you. 😃

[@brianvernell]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe 🙏

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Brian. Appreciate your time watching the channel.

[@Riverstonesthrowaway]

Never traveled through Oregon - really beautiful! As for the "swinging" bridge.... I think it fell flat! LOL!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 🤣 as a pancake! Oh well... 😆

[@Riverstonesthrowaway]

@@bigtruckbigtravels Please don't stop trying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725]

The roundabout with the waterfall would be so tempting to the stealth campers

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 🤣 lots of traffic going around so not a lot of solitude! But I'm sure someone may try! Thanks for watching.

[@joycewayman5907]

That was a scary moment going into the garage to have your slider covers on glad everything turned out good. What beautiful scenes on your travels can’t wait to see what’s next. Safe travels 😊 😍

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks 👍Joyce. Beautiful coastline. 😍

[@NatKekuna2012]

Thanks for showing some of Oregon 😊I’ve got to get there.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It is spectacular. The coast is amazing. Thank you very much for your time watching the channel.

[@Lfs1891]

I just had idaho instant potatoes in a bag. Actually really good. Lu lv ur content, those true toppers, look like a better system because they cover the slide closed. Where normal slides leave an open gap. Cant wait one day to own my own hdt. I own a 72 bus converted into a totter home, to my 96 fithwheel camper. Look for campers with something colourfull on it. He wants to swing dance. 😂

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 🤣 Thanks for watching. Sounds like a unique setup. Very cool.

[@Tom-jf4vg]

I find it funny with that nice big rig . You can not put the bikes inside it. One less thing to worry about I would say. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We could fit them inside but...they're dirty and we don't want to put them inside. Overall, it's easier and much more efficient to store them as we do on the bike rack. Thanks for the suggestion. Appreciate your time watching and commenting.

[@jeffwindbigler4199]

As a kid growing up in the Mohave desert we used to run or ride our bikes into dust devils all the time, some would push us around a little but never got one to lift us up!

[@christygr]

@@jeffwindbigler4199 thanks for sharing that with us. I was wondering as well!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Ok. That's cool. I've obviously never been through one. Hmmm... maybe next time!

[@alfreddominguez2750]

I get worried everytime I see 9 feet in my van. 😢 lot's of love 305 ❤️

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

9 feet?!? We'd just pull over and turn off the lights! 😂🤣

[@krisklopf1901]

Pretty scenery on your drive to Oregon!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It really was very nice. Great drive.

[@andrewjones-productions]

I think that field with the white flowers are likely to be a field of buckwheat. We have many similar looking fields here in Japan where 'soba' noodles are very popular. Soba is of course made from buckwheat. As is the very well known Breton crepe and Eastern Europe are of course big eaters of buckwheat.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Andrew. Love soba noodles when we visited Japan. We mixed them in the broth after cooking shabu shabu.

[@traveleats6833]

We loved our stop in Florence Oregon!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Beautiful area. 😍

[@IdahoNancy-lx3sq]

Great video. I did recognize the rv park you left from. Saw all of the trucks here. I live in the park.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Ok, wow! Such a small RV world! Thanks

[@karenarnold7693]

To bad I didn't know you were in my neighborhood. I've lived in Oregon my whole life. Traveled a lot around the world, but it's hard to beat the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Hope you enjoyed it.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Beautiful area on the Oregon coast. Thanks

[@gtnoslp]

Great vlog...I dont know if I could have handled the cutting and grinding myself! Hopefully the mods prove to be positive!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You and me both! We'll see...

[@KimYamashita]

We got the toppers and the toppers and the people are fabulous

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Great people, we're hoping ours work well. Thanks

[@chadboring8933]

Henry really awesome to see you guys here in Oregon I'm in Salem Oregon I don't know where you guys are got your Toppers done for your trailer but I'm watching this I guess 3 days after you guys were crashing into things

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 🤣 Thanks. We didn't mean to crash into anything but were told there was plenty of room! Oh well... they did a good job.

[@PiereWoehl]

13:21 now thats the correct way a roundabout should be setup, good job, not like these others weird ones which are just intersections

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yes, that's exactly correct. Thanks

[@abbylea2359]

We saw a dust devil in Kansas that was made up of corn stalks. It was amazing.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh man! That would be crazy! Thanks

[@rtoadontheroad]

Just like a LEAN manufacturing project! Dennis

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yes, some 5S going on for sure.
