We're stuck in a tight campground at Thousand Trails and find ourselves in quite a bind trying to get back east to Idaho and a BLM campground at a reservoir.

Forest fires are common in summer, but one is right on our route.

RV life is never boring as we plan to visit McCall, Idaho and go boating and whitewater rafting on Payette Lake…when we get out of Oregon.

Motorhome camping
We like to alternate between resorts and campsites, and wild camping is always an option.

We get inspiration from Keep Your Daydream KYD, Less Junk More Journey, Finding Our Someday and Changing Lanes. We usually travel in an HDT similar to the YouTube channels Suite Travels, Switch it Up and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks (Happilyeverhanks) #thankshanks and believe it or not, I've actually learned something from MRBeast Mr Beast's videos too. We're not exactly driving life in the slow lane but we do stop and smell the roses.

Our journey is the destination. We want to share with you our experiences in discovering what comes next.

We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a ton of money every time we fill up our big rig. We also use it to fuel our Onan generator.

The big blue boards (XL version) that we sometimes use to get ourselves out of a jam are from:

Our Class C was built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It is a production model of the Magnitude XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We have made some modifications to it so that we can comfortably camp in the wilderness. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000W Multi-Plus inverters, two alternators charge while driving and modifications to the water system greatly improve the possibilities for wilderness camping.

Our extreme, completely custom built 5th Wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Fully loaded, it weighs 42,000 pounds when rolling down the highway. And we drive on the highway almost every week. Because we believe that if your house has wheels, it should use them.

Vehicles:
2016 Volvo VNL780 /"Voyager/"
2016 Smart fortwo /"Pathfinder/"
2019 SpaceCraft custom-made semi-trailer with 5th wheel /"Orion/"
2023 Thor Magnitude XG32 Class C /"Curiosity/"
2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara /"Artemis/"

Power supply system:
3250 watts of solar energy with Panasonic modules
30.1 KWH lithium batteries
2 Magnum inverters with 4,000 watts provide power as if we had shore power
2 Cotek 4,000 watt 240V inverters provide additional power for our LG Mini Split HVAC and stove.

Coachnet is our roadside assistance company that we use, but hopefully not too often. LOL

We are not sponsored by Whataburger, but I enjoy them whenever I can get my hands on one. They used to only be outside of Texas, but they have expanded.
