Ok, so yesterday we were traveling through Tallahassee and got off the freeway to look for food. We found a What A Burger. So we tried it and found it to be a Very Good Burger!! One person had the Apple Cranberry Salad and loved it. Not to mention that there was a station that had gas for $2.69 a gallon. Total Score!!! You should be getting advertising royalties…😂 Merry Christmas.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 I'd be rich if I got royalties! 😆 Glad you liked it and found some inexpensive fuel too! That's a good day! Happy holidays and thanks, as always, for watching.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oops! Good to know. Thank you. 😃

[@aeconsulting1]

Should be a great improvement for your truck. You finally got it done, great job! A couple years ago we had an incident where a person with a PT Cruiser drove into our toad (Ford Explorer) while we were driving towing the vehicle. I just felt a little bump but continued driving until a tow truck driver passed me and signaled that he saw the accident and the PT Cruiser was waiting. When I came back I saw the police and the PT cruiser, left front fender totaled. I couldn’t see a scratch on our FORD Explorer must have hit it in the perfect angle. We were lucky. Still wondering how that person didn’t see a Class A towing a Ford Explorer.

[@marthayahoogillespie9567]

Wow! We flat tow a F 150 with our Class A.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That's unbelievable...I'm sure they weren't paying attention. Glad you were ok. We're excited about the mods.

[@jameswallace26]

Im curious if on the winch you have one wrap of cable (synthetic rope) on the drum and just enough (a little extra) to reach the smart car? I would think this would be a good way to do it as the winch pulls best on the first wrap on the drum and less cable to get bound up. Great channel and content love to watch y'all.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That's interesting because we've had a few others comment on the exact same thing. We didn't realize it so we'll look into that. Thank you!

Good beginning (this video) from a bad ending (last video) and confirmation all is well with you and the vehicles. I've been on 40 to Memphis many a time going across country and/or with my Class A when I parked in friends driveway in Eads TN. And of course my TN river stays in Decaturville TN. East of Jackson, off 40, near Lexington, I used to stay at Parkers Crossroads RV park (looked like a past KOA) as well. Fun times! I can really see how you two enjoy RV'ing like you do. And you share it with us. Thank you for 2023 and Happy Holidays, Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to you both of you and your family. I’m exhausted just watching this video, I can’t imagine how you all felt. I am imagining all those miles in the smart car and my butt, back, legs , head and lots more hurts. The older we have gotten the fewer miles we are willing to drive in a day. Sometimes it is about the destination and not the journey … like getting home! I’m glad that both of you had no adverse impact from the crash and the smart car was fine too. I’m always amazed at how many different things you do yourself David. I know it is great to have an understanding of what is happening below in your home. I’m looking forward to your journeys west in 2024. Be safe and may God continue to bless you both.

[@ionecuff6323]

I can relate when you said you love to travel, but not staying at motels! I am the same way. When my husband was alive, we made several trips to the East coast and stayed at motels all along the way. BUT, we usually drove hard all day (I didn't like that, it was vacation from work and I wanted to see and experience all the places we were seeing.). Stopping at a motel after a long day of driving, unloading EVERYTHING out of the van and carrying it to our room. Then organize our room so we could get to clothes & hygiene items so we could shower and get to bed. Then my husband always wanted to get an early start in the morning which meant getting up around 5 am, hurry to get ready, carry everything back down to the van, organize and load everything into the van, and he might decide to eat breakfast or hit the road. Then do it all over again. I had always talked of us getting an RV so we could travel with our own bed, not having haul everything in and out of the vehicle, up and down stairs & elevators, etc. But he was against it because of the fuel mileage. I can only imagine how much more relaxing it is to know that you have a comfortable bed to sleep in every night and don't have the stress of hoping to find a motel with vacancy, being able to cook your own meals and know you won't get food poisoning or get bad tasting food, and not worrying where the next rest area or gas station is so you can use a bathroom. The RV would save a ton of stress, exhaustion, frazzled nerves, money on restaurants, motels, and parking (yes, some motels charge for parking). I'm still wishing my house was worth enough so I could sell it, get a good used Class C, and be able to do a little travel before my time on earth is done. Until then, I am living vicariously through your travels and experiences. My favorite are the trips to and from Alaska and all the time you were there! Thank you so much for sharing! May God continue to Bless and Protect you all as you continue your journeys. P.S. Yes, Yuma does have beautiful sunsets! Sunrises on a partially cloudy day are also spectacular. But, anyone that knows Yuma, knows we do not have many cloudy days!

a man threw out his batteries in the campgrounds 4 each acid batteries , 300 amps each, he said there JUNK, so i got to work, i drained the batteries in a plastic basin, flushed them of 3 times with distilled water, the filled them up with coke -cola and let them sit for overnight, , in the morning i again flushed out the coke -cola with more distilled water that i boiled and treated then poured acid contains into each battery , with more distilled water , capped them and started to charge the batteries all 4 at the same time with 10 amp charger and wait till full charge came about 2 days, the man came by to ask what i was doing , and he thought i was crazy for the junk batteries? but when i tested the batteries 3 were great at 98% good and one was 85% good. each was 275 amp acid batteries. now bad for JUNK BATTERIES. AND BOY WAS HE PISSED OFF, THAT I SAVED HIS BATTERIES.

LOL...that's great. Our genset pulls quite a few amps to start and it's very finicky on it's power quality. Great story. Thanks

Hi, new to your sight. Quick question. Do either one of you have a class A non commercial endorsement or have you ever been asked to show one. Thnx and happy holidays!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yes, we both have one since we're out of Texas. We bypass the scales but obey all rules for trucks.
