Thanks Shane, we really, really appreciate that sentiment. This is a channel that was started to give back to the RV community so that others may benefit from our experience. Also, we want to show people that you can still travel in a Big Rig and see the country. We also do it so our family can follow along on our journey. We did not expect our "family" to grow with our growing list of viewers so that is a cool benefit for sure.

Hey, Steve, appreciate your comments. We don't have a single video which details our set up process. Our videos are about our travels. Each RV is different and the setup process is relatively unique for each class of RV. Ours is very unique given our custom fifth wheel. Do you have specific questions? We always level our trailer with the Big Foot stabilizers and extend the slides with the push of a button. Setup will be different for boondocking vs campground hook ups too.

O.K., just to be clear, are you are winching the Smart Car up the ramp and onto the deck of the truck SOLELY via winch power after you initially position it onto the ramps?

Great question, Nathan. Thousand Trails is a "either you love it or hate it" type of campground membership. It works for us and we're glad we purchased our membership almost 9 years ago.

Is there a trick to ensuring you don't drive a road the ends up with one of these crossings? Seems like bottoming-out could be a concern.

Great question, William. We have 15 inches ground clearance and we primarily stay on STAA roads which helps to insure there are no obstacles. When we take other roads, I'll research the route. Usually the "humpy" RR crossings are on secondary roads.
