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.

[@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.

You do not need to worry about leaks, unless they cause your vehicle's engine to knock. That is when you need to turn up the volume on your radio or CD player. I recommend something with strong drumbeats, like James Brown (who started the tradition of 3 percussionists during his concerts) or Michael Jackson with his overwhelming rhythmic drum blasts. Eventually you will not notice your engine noises and shortly thereafter they will cease completely! Like magic!

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.

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.

I spent part of my childhood in an area with lots of those dust devils and I ran into once as a dare from my brother lol its a little windy and you get pelted with the sand but its not something I would do again haha

Might be a good idea to acquire a separate solar setup that includes a power bank and a few solar panels to supply power for both Voyager and Orion, maybe even Curiousity. It may be overkill but better be prepared than not. May have a situation where the power issue may happen again. It’s actually on my list on Amazon for my magnitude. Might use up more power than what the 500w solar setup system (getting the Solar Package).

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We're looking at additional solar for Curiosity and try to enhance our system on Orion.

[@vincent_v1094]

@@bigtruckbigtravels check and see if the dealer could contact Thor to give you the additional solar panels and a solar controller. Although, if you get it off the bat when you get a quote online when you are building the Magnitude, i think it is free.

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. 😃

LOL “swingers” convo! Nice trip to Oregon coast. Let us know how u like the Toppers please. Something my hubby has never seen. We r pinching ourselves that we made it to Ontario with RV parked next to the lake. Zero fish in 3 weeks so far🥹 🇨🇦 ❤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Nice spot, Yvonne. Good luck on the fishing. Thanks for watching, the trip was fun.

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. 😂

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