We split up...for 1900 miles!! //Driving the Jeep //Travel Days

[@billstoys8324]

I never thought that I would see "Smokey and the Bandit" on Big Truck Big Travel!! Another first!!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Lol... we weren't hauling any Coors, Bill but it was an opportunity for some pictures. We still prefer riding together though.

[@kristinapriest2545]

you both do a great job communicating when hocking up, it's very important to do so. :-)

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Kristina. It's important to get it in safely and we're both on the same page for that! Appreciate the comments.

[@martymain1907]

Traveling together and not double towing is why we lengthen our truck to carry our 4-door Jeep and tow our 5th wheel RV trailer. The trade-off is our truck is 40 feet by itself. And with our old 32-foot trailer we were 70 feet going down the road.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Lol... I'd love to solve the Jeep towing issue with a similar solution... but I'm not modifying Voyager again. Lol Your set up was a good solution to bringing a non-Smart car.

[@martymain1907]

@@bigtruckbigtravels understand. This seems to be a common issue. Best of success.

[@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726]

You and Sue had a great solution for your application! We hope to announce our plans for the jeep in the near future. Kinda going in a different direction than most HDTers. 😉

Hi guys 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️..when we use to haul the wind turbines..Jeanne had to run behind me because she steered the back of my trailer (240 feet overall) from her pickup all day long..she was one of my escorts..had one on the front also ...plus 2 police...now she's in the truck and loves it...me too ..🥰...whataburger...oh yea...our truck (Rex) is set up to haul our smart car and our sxs and/or our harley plus our DRV...we are 75' overall...55k lbs...thanks for the video...stay safe...J&A

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Wow. 240 ft is super long. That's pretty cool that Jeanne would steer the trailer from the escort car. Thanks for the comments. Travel safe...

[@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726]

We happened upon a driver at a rest area hauling a wind turbine support. Being able to stand right next to it was humbling.

[@fixit5897]

My wife and I traveled full time for 16 years with trailers, during that time we had a C.B. radio in the cab and the wife would have a walkie talkie to give back up directions, it saved a lot of arm waving and was a must have at night parking. Think you will find that helpful.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you for the info. We have bluetooth headsets and usually have them on. We probably will use them a little more in the future but for this trip we used our cell phones.

[@terrymathis4213]

Id rather ride together and just take turns letting the other rest. Ive rode with my boyfriend who drove tractor trailer for over 19 yrs. I love the sitting up high to see and the air seats. B safe in u travels.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Can't beat the view! Riding together is much better.

Roxanne said burger people esp Whataburger people are her favorite kind of people but then again people who like Peggy Sues are real high on the list too. We happened to overnight at PS's on our way back from Caldwell. Our last night on the road for that trip but it was NICE! We enjoyed this video guys. Enjoy the journey.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you so much, Miguel. We used to travel with our daughter on vacations and she absolutely loved camping vacations and road trips! It's a special time when you can share it with family, I hope you get the chance to share it with your daughter too! Glad you're along on the journey and appreciate your comments and watching the channel. 😊

Thank you. It was weird to drive separate for that many miles. There were some nice aspects to it but overall we enjoy traveling together. Thanks for the comments. Appreciate your kind words. 😊

[@lindaraleigh5960]

I love the song at the beginning of your road trip. Who is the artist and name of the song? Sondra your a roll model, you rock. David your up there also. ❤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. It's in the description but Jennifer Holmes sings it. Called "Outta Here" and I get it through Epidemicsound.com

Thank you so much, love your choice of music. I'm 80 years old and love to travel through your eyes. Ty

[@thomaswilliamson7363]

Another great video!! Traveling in separate vehicles I am not sure I would like but it does give each other a break from one another.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Lol. On the whole, we prefer to drive together but it was interesting. Climate control for each person was huge. Lol

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks for your comments. I really appreciate them.

[@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726]

LOL... the only time we don't seem to agree on something is the climate control and that's when driving seperate was a good thing. But when we are together I have an electric blanket and little space heater to keep me warm. 😊

Ya you two I need heard of anyone having pie for dinner where is the meat and potatoes and vegetables and maybe some fruit sandera what's for dinner and what time is dinner how many Waterbury cups does David have take care happy camping

Are you able to access Orion with the slides in?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yes. We designed it that way. We have to crawl over the bed to get to our bathroom but that's easy.

[@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726]

We can get from one end to another. But as David said we do have to crawl over the bed to get to the bathroom.

[@JackMayer]

Looks like the separate driving is working out pretty well. The little we have done it we have managed OK, and like anything there are pros/cons.... again, a nice video with good editing and music selection. At least for me.....

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks Jack. I'm enjoying putting the music together with the video. There were some advantages but on a regular basis we still prefer to drive together.

[@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm always anxious for David's next video. Even though he's about 15 behind, he's not rushing thru and doing a great job! 😁

[@martymain1907]

@@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726 BTW, It might just be me, but I've noticed somewhere between halfway to 3/4s through each video, my playback stops in a perpetual re-loading/caching that I can only bypass by exiting and reloading the video. Never experienced that on others' videos. Perhaps it's at an edit point. Anyway just mentioning this.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks for finding us, Timmy. I hope you subscribe and great question. Neither one of us has CDL's. Since our truck is titled as private then Texas requires a Class A non-commercial endorsement. We took a road and written test but no CDL requirement. Thanks for the comment. Appreciate you watching the channel. 😊Have a great weekend.

[@donh6173]

Not sure if I missed it or not but do you do a pull test when you hook up?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Absolutely 💯 Don! Great question! We always do the following when we hook up regardless of mileage to be traveled: check all lights, insure all connections are secure, pull test, all cargo doors are locked (except LP compartment), tire check and general walk around to be sure nothing is unlatched(such as solar panels) and nothing is left behind. Appreciate your comments and your time watching the channel.

[@joneid1]

Can't u tow the jeep behind Orion??

We could, but Orion is not set up to tow and we don't want to double tow either. We've thought about it recently but just not thrilled with the idea. Thanks for the comments.

[@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726]

We rarely eat out because the food generally isn't that good and expensive. Plus it's easier to control what we eat on the road rather than getting stuck with whatever a truckstop might have. But I must say David has a way of finding Whataburgers with big parking lots 🤦‍♀️
