Wow! Check Out This Amazing Rv Life In North Cascades National Park!
On our way from Mount Rainier to North Cascades National Park we were surprised to see this "out of control" trailer. We actually thought it was sliding off the highway right in front of us. We were so wrong.
Was North Cascades really a National Park?!? It sure didn't feel like it, but the entrance sign was awesome! Whale watching finished off our visit and it was spectacular, we actually drifted into Canada!!!

We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a bundle each time we fill up our Big Rig. We also use it to fill up our Onan generator.

Coachnet is our roadside assistance company we use but hopefully we don't use them too often. LOL
We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded to Kansas City, Atlanta, Birmingham, Huntsville, Tallahassee, Pensacola and Tennessee just to name a few other areas.

Those guys really know what they are doing. We have followed the ones hauling the windmill blades, and to see them go around a corner as something to see.

Hi Larry... Thank you for your kind words... My wife and I did their super loads with GE wind energy for 14 years...we are now retired... You are correct it takes teamwork between the 2 or 3 escorts to get that thing around a corner.... It does create a little bit of a poker factor.. Stay safe

I totally agree Larry. But I'd still freak if we came head to head with one of these rigs. 🥴
Robbie, that's called a steer able jeep. The person in the Jeep is about 12" off the ground. Plus 90% of the time he sees the back of the tow rig. Been there done that. Also pulled triples. Both will keep you on your toes at all times. Safe travels and roads Brian and Cindy, "xtreambydesign with passion"
When the rear of the trailer swung over right in front of us I totally freaked out.

Great video. I grew up in Anacortes so it was good to see the islands again. And that outfit pulling that long beam reminded of a guy I knew that 'drove' a rear tractor for years. He made good money doing that, not everyone is cut out for it. Looking forward to your future travels.

Hi guys!! Watching some of your older videos. When you were in Anacortes, you were only about 20 miles from me!! 😊 30 years ago I worked on a whale watching boat out of LaConner. Best job ever!! Fun seeing familiar scenery. 💜

Thanks Gary for the kind comments. Hope you enjoy the channel enough to subscribe and get the weekly videos. Yes, we designed our trailer and Space Craft built it back in 2018/2019. It's based on a semi trailer frame with semi running gear. Air disc brakes all around, it will stop all 70,000 lbs of us when completely hooked up. In the near future, we're going to do a 4 part series on our set up. Thanks.
