This has been a Wild RV Adventure all summer with a lot of boondocking but there are limits. Yukon closes for winter and winter starts early up north! We've got to go for several reasons both weather related and legal issues which may arise by October 1st. We're not Snowbirds but we are going to "migrate" back to Alabama.

It's September 20th and we have 10 days to make it across the border and stay legal on the roads in Canada. We don't have M/S tires on the RV so we have to be back in the USA before the October 1 deadline. Everything is closing on us up in Canada and the Yukon so we need to head south.

Getting water for our trip south is proving to be a challenge as the campgrounds in Whitehorse, Yukon are shutting off their water spigots for winter. After calling around we find a place which meets all our needs.

Driving down the Cassiar we enter several wildlife corridors and rainy weather. We see snow on the mountains so we can't "dilly dally".

We want to drive across Saskatchewan since we have never been through that province before and it's "on the way home". But what are moose doing in the southern part of Canada?

Our RV is a Thor Magnitude so we hope it survives but the views are magnificent, awesome and stunning so the trip is a once in a lifetime event.

RV Camping
We like to "Switch it Up" between resorts and campgrounds and boondocking is always an option.

We draw inspiration from Keep Your Daydream KYD, Less Junk More Journey, Finding Our Someday and Changing Lanes. We normally travel in an HDT similar to YouTube channels Suite Travels 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 actually learned something from MRBeast Mr Beast video's as well.

Our journey is the destination. We want to share in our experiences in our discovery of What's Next.

I get my music from:

Fairy Tale Snail by Gary the Canary

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.

The big blue boards (XL version) we use sometimes to get us "un-stuck" is from:

Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multi-plus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.

Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.

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

Power system:
3250 watts of solar with Panasonic panels
30.1 KWH of Lithium batteries
2- 4K watt Magnum Inverters deliver power as if we are on shore power
2- 4K watt 240v Cotek Inverters deliver additional power for our LG Mini split HVAC and stove

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.
