I'm glad you are enjoying your life on the road. We hope to be there soon. We bought a used 2010 38TKSB3 2 years ago. Like new. On the License issue. Texas has a combined GVWR of 26,000 lbs max for Class C License. (Truck & Trailer) We are at 32,500. I got my Class A Exempt license last year. Study 2 sections of CDL manuel , take Online test at DPS, pass, they schedule the driving portion. Then bring your truck and trailer for the Road test. It's a pain but not that difficult. Be safe out on the road.

In Alta tic Canada to my understanding you need air brakes first off, but because towing capacity is over 15,000 kgs, a CDL is required because of weights and towing weights

Each State or Province has their own requirements if your license has been issued by them. Since our state doesn't require any special requirements we can legally travel through other areas without any special endorsements.

watts on wheels had a short one today of a rig coming in here they were, a super c motor home and trailer, I'll bet that thing was pushing 100...yes 100 feet, makes our ~60 look positively puny..you really need to prioritize whats important too. we know we'll hit the road as soon as my husband retires. in the meantime, we've got our 5R and our Mack. anything that goes in/on either one has to be considered forever home. We did get hit hard in early 2000's as our plant moved out with little notice and we went from 20 years employment to zip. but its possible. and we're stubborn.

A wonderful, honest, informative video... thank you!!! I have to confess I raised my eyebrows at no washer/dryer due to weight. With an HDT??? C'mon!! But being right at 24k sure explains things. And water conservation - fresh and grey - while boondocking makes sense. I loved your idea of living on a pension a year before you actually were! Super idea that works out the kinks and the emotional struggles. Retiring debt-free is indeed the key to being able to afford this lifestyle. I enjoyed this video, big time!!

If you're looking for an RV hauler, you can go to our website under the Resources tab and find a number of links related to the HDT lifestyle. Our good friends at JonesN2Travel created a great video series of how they found their HDT and modified it to fit their RV needs. Hope that helps.

If you guys are ever in Pennsylvania and you're going through Reading in Berks County. Follow 422 E all the way up to Douglassville/Amity. Right Across the highway from McDonald's and Wawa there's a restaurant called Michael's Diner. They're open 24/7 really good food and serve breakfast lunch and dinner anytime of the day too. They also allow RV and big truck parking there for a few nights. I have my Class A CDL and used to be OTR and they'd always be really cool about letting me park my truck there during my home time. I really enjoy your guys videos and figured I'd give you guys this tip.

The fact that your setup does not allow for a dryer and washer just ean your solar system is too weak. You got roof space for a lot more solar panels so if you do an upgrade you could even run your AC whenever when you are boondocking. But of course, an electric system sized up for boondocking will come with a price tag to match the performance and then some. But it is doable. If you could find say a Nissan Leaf pack for the right price that might help bringing the overall price down a little. If you got weight issues likely that is due to axle restrictions. A swap for HD axles should fix that, and you will be ready to "cut the cord" and be boondocking any time you like for as long as your tanks will allow. And if you do an axle swap you could enlarge your tanks as well....come to think of it, if you leverage your youtube channel you might even get sponsors helping you with the hardware cost. That would make for an awesome video series. Full boondocking edition for prolonged stay without the need for the chord.

One thing I found hauling private equipment to public shows (non-commercial), put Not For Hire on the side of the cab and it will generally save you some DOT harassment.

Now I have found you and several others that you have mentioned and "interviewed" in numerous videos. Lastly, your vides are so relaxing and comforting. You guys are just genuine! Peace.

I'm surprised you can't run your ACs on solar since I know that others do. Seems like you have plenty of it. At least one AC with a soft start should be doable.

Hi Jim and Kelly! Really enjoy watching your content and looks like you all are doing things right. Me and my wife are currently in the works of preparing to sell our home and are looking to start fulltime RV living. We have 9-year-old twins who have been home schooled for the past two years. We are currently looking at the Super C rigs (Dynamax Force HD and Entegra Accolade XL models). What are your thoughts about the Super C rigs? Also, any other big advice you could give us regarding starting this lifestyle for our family? We will not be able to travel as much as I am still working but will travel as time allows us. We plan to move around the metroplex here in Texas where I can still access work where I go in 1-2 a week. Thanks for any advice you can offer!

Thanks Brian. A Super-C with a family would be a great fit. You could flat tow a family vehicle behind....as long as you have the HP necessary to tow it. Our suggestion is to start early. The sooner you can consolidate your "stuff" the better. Remember, every RV has weight limits. We have a pretty strict rule - if you buy something and bring it into the rig, something has to go out! We also suggest you have a budget that you follow, otherwise expenses can get out of hand.

Nicely covered topic guys. I think within the HDT community there are many ways to skin a cat and our costs are all over the board. The point being that there is a budget for almost everyone and no two are the same. On a side not I couldn't do without our washer and dryer. See ya in KS.

I'm surprised know ones asked about the insurance and who you guys use. Who do you use for the rv & cost and is the toter on a different policy?
@SuiteTravels
@SuiteTravels 3 жыл бұрын
Finding insurance has been one of our biggest challenges Jon. We use an independent agency in Lake Oswego, Oregon (www.millerrvinsurance.com/). They specialize in full time RV policies and we've been with them for over 4 years. Most companies will require the HDT linked on the same policy as the RV. Apparently there are some commercial guys trying to get around paying for commercial policies so they require the RV on the same policy. Miller has us insured with Progressive.
