Talk about frustration!! We go to a campground where we reserved a 99 foot long campsite that is only 55 feet long. And we are told to go the wrong way down a narrow road. Now we have to backup and can't because of rocks and trees. This was the most difficult campsite we have ever tried to get in to.

Why would they put all those stupid rocks everywhere. I bet many people have damaged their truck and camper on those rocks.😢 10:27

Hi guys... We feel your pain Mr. And Mrs. Truck driver.... Been there done that... With my limited supply of patience... I would probably have taken the first site that I think I could have got into and let them work it out... Or maybe.. Got the host and let him know that that site was not 99 feet and possibly give him the opportunity of finding me a site on his own... Before patience ran completely out... In any event both of you guys handled it with a lot of grace.... That is what is called "team work"... Pat both of you all on the back... Thanks for the video.. Stay safe...J&A

@WattsOnWheels 9 месяцев назад

Ya, Dave's patience fuse is short, and yours is about half of his. LOL. The host said he was going to contact USACE to see if he could get them to fix the info on their website. Not going to hold our breathe for that.

@6582rg 9 месяцев назад

That makes me mad watching it. So incompetent in their description of that site. You guys are troopers. I think Dave deserves a keg on this one.

Dave, I’d say you are due one case of beer of your choice for backing that rig into that site. You and Karen are a great team. It truly shows in your videos. When you see a couple who can work their way out of a difficult situation like you and Karen did speaks volumes. thanks for bringing us along. Safe travels.

@martenclark9728 9 месяцев назад

Poor Dave , you could hear the frustration in his voice , that was I think the hardest one I've watched you do. Certainly a great price and a shame the host was a little disorganized with his info. As far as pay goes ....that was stressful, time consuming and a tight squeeze , you both easily deserve the equivalent of 8 beers each just for the arrival 😎 also well done Karen for keeping Dave's desire to leave suppressed, that cant have been easy , myself .....I was with Dave , leaving was seeming a good choice faced with that task 👍

@WattsOnWheels 9 месяцев назад

It was definitely stressful, but I knew there would be no other campground to go to. Yellowstone area campgrounds book up a year in advance and boondocking sights are slim pickings for a big rig. I thought he'd be able to get into the sight once we got turned around, but boy was it difficult. If it would have been someone with lesser skill, they'd probably still be there.

@NTHEWIND54 7 месяцев назад

My wife and I were owner operators for nearly 40 years. Our last two trucks were big sleepers. I can’t tell you how many places we went to where ‘we get big trucks in here all the time’. Many times just driving in cities could be a challenge. What I see your first mistake was not walking down a checking out the situation. That was something we did all the time.

@WattsOnWheels 7 месяцев назад

You got that right....lesson learned.

@NTHEWIND54 7 месяцев назад

@@WattsOnWheels , thank you for the kind reply. While we were still working we bought a 5th wheel hauler. I told my wife that I drag a 53 trailer around every day, the last thing I want to do on vacation is to deal with that big. We bought a 28 foot 5th wheel and a 4 door LWB 2500 HD GMC to haul it. That was back in 2003. We still own it . We retired 2 years ago. ( and don’t miss trucking at all). We also just went from 2 wheels ( Harleys) to a Spyder, loving it so far. Nice setup you have.

I have enough fun with my 5r being a retired heavy duty wrecker operator I have a lot of experience with pulling semis with a trailer, I don't think I would have much fun hauling a HTD around trying to navigate campgrounds built years ago before this was a thing. Unless I knew the campground and had a repeat route. But that takes away the fun of exploring new places. I spent a lot of money on a huge Victron system to be off grid as much as possible. I'm sure having all the comforts of home with you is nice. Then dealing with the terrible post Covid drivers is another thing altogether.

@user-hf9ty5ck9c 9 месяцев назад

At the turnaround spot you should have went to the right to start the turnaround. Why you ask. The road was wider to the right and not a blind backup. When backing you need more room for the tractor than the trailer. Don't mean to rile anyones feathers.

@WattsOnWheels 9 месяцев назад

Possibly. The angle was a bit of the problem, but the rocks everywhere made it frustrating and undoable. Without the rocks, there would have been no problems.

I too had to come from the other direction on the pull through and barely had enough room even when pulling out forward as the roads were narrow.

With all do respect of course. Just a question

@WattsOnWheels 6 месяцев назад

Actually we do a lot of homework before reserving a campsite and we try to make them 6 or more months in advance to have long sites. This includes aerial views, other peoples RU-vid videos and reviews. We spend hours and hours setting up trips, but sometimes the visual aids/aerials are not available or just trees can be seen. This happen to be one of them and we took our chances.

@nolanb7150 9 месяцев назад

12 pack of beer for Dave. It amazes me on how clueless some places/Employees are on the length of a site. We had been lied to so many times on the length of a site. Then we got the ones that when we came in. "We don't have anything big enough for that." Or "You never said you had that big of a rig." Could almost see stream coming out of my wife's ears. She made the reservations. Would always say we have a 25-foot semi-truck, a 35-foot 5th wheel and a 15-foot car. Do you have a site big enough for us? Also agree you two were too generous in your grading. At any rate. Have fun in Yellowstone and watch out for the stupid Tourons.

@WattsOnWheels 9 месяцев назад

How much experience do y’all have with a semi truck before using it with a RV

@WattsOnWheels Месяц назад

None. Except decades ago Dave used to back them in occasionally at GM when the truckers would leave for a break.

@jeffbacon2060 Месяц назад

@@WattsOnWheels not any better way to get the experience than get in there and do it. I’m sure, just from what little back he had a GM helped out with that one. Thanks for video, y’all be safe out there.

Many, many beers. Yes indeed.

You guys have a very unique rig that is extra long compared to most set ups. If you do not have the patience to deal with situations like this then get a shorter rig. All you guys did was blame everyone else.

@WattsOnWheels 5 месяцев назад

People that work there should provide proper instruction and proper information. Other than that, it's called RU-vid entertainment. Thanks for watching.

Had yall evrr driven a semi before buying for rv

@WattsOnWheels 3 месяца назад

No, did not. However, did back several trucks in to the bays at GM about 40 years ago when the drivers would take off somewhere and we had to get the trucks backed in.

That rv setup you have looks like nothing but a big headache and built in problems

@WattsOnWheels 9 месяцев назад

Not really. Have been traveling for 6 years with only a few problems and everyone has them regardless of their set up. It's our home and the way feel safest.

@wcarlhepker4806 9 месяцев назад

You guys were too generous in your grading. After their lying about how long a rig could use the sight, not helping you until you were in an impossible situation, and not letting you use the pull through because of their error, their final score should not be a C (Average). That was far, far below average!!! You both deserve more than beer, how about a big buffalo steak there in WestYellowstone!! You earned it!!!

@WattsOnWheels 9 месяцев назад

Like the way you think. The park itself was pretty nice, but all that frustration could have been avoided. Gonna have to add steak to the payment contract...like that alot. :)

@nathanurick8320 9 месяцев назад

Yea Dave like the idiot says, if you would just hung a right😂 maybe Mr idiot should know his park a little better and should have gave you a heads up.

@WattsOnWheels 9 месяцев назад

Would have been nice if he would have told us.

@esousa486 9 месяцев назад

I hear your disappointment that the site was "shorter" than advertised, but, with all due respect, .... Your rig, with 5th wheel and towable is "massive" , .... so I would think that you run into this kind of issue (even with researching sites), fairly regularly .... ??

@WattsOnWheels 9 месяцев назад

No, not really. We had 26 stops on this tour and this was the only one that gave us problems. It was also the only one that had erroneous information. I spend a ton of time to try and ensure we will fit whenever possible.

Been there, done that. We are very selective of where we stay, but we ran into a similar situation where there was just no way we were going to make it in and they had a divider in the site, so their web site was very wrong. At least you made it in, we didn't even try, it was just way too tight. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5WwwcaUHCKk.html

First of all learn to plan your trip. You could had parked and walked up to your spot. Then you could planed it out. Next thing you really need to practice on backing. Now I agree that you have a big truck. That is the way to haul a big trailer. Alot better ride also, you will get a lot more miles out of it. Yes, I do know what I am talking about 3 million miles on the road. The next and worse thing you can do is get upset. That is when you make very bad decisions.

@WattsOnWheels 9 месяцев назад

We like the campground feel, not the parking lots 3 feet to the rig next to you. We stayed in some expensive campgrounds on this trip too. The location was right for this one.

@kennyirish5021 9 месяцев назад

Yea the camp host has never driven a truck,has no idea. I would always walk in or be prepared to drive right on by to get a lay of the land. I still never trust what they say. I have trust issues haha. You should be kept in beer for the entire stay ; ) I'm sure you'll have a great time!!

@WattsOnWheels 9 месяцев назад

This was such a small campground. Usually, we would just pull over when we come in and drop the car to check things out. No place to do that. Should have found a way to check it out first. We did have a great time.
