Nice truck!! I heard you mention a little bit of rust on the Airstream. One thing I can suggest if it’ll help is to look into having a auto detailer ceramic coat your truck and trailer it’ll protect both from the elements and water will bead up and fall right off no problem no rust and protection from snow, mud, road grime, and any liquid elements at all it’s amazing!!
I would throw a floor Jack in the back of your truck bed. If you have a flat with all the stuff packed in your truck the floor Jack is incredibly easy and quick to use.
Ray, that's a great idea! 💡 I (Daniel) am going to look for one this weekend. Thanks for the tip, and thanks for following us along on this crazy journey! 🙏
Hi Both, One thing you may want to consider is a "bed slide" for your truck. I have an RV friend, who can't imagine a truck without it anymore. Your knees will thank you! :) Thanks for the great videos! Sincerely, Roy
F250 power stroke diesel. Right tool for the job. Love y’alls wandering. Keep those great videos coming. Come back to Texas in November. Will be cool by then.
Hate to burst your bubble, but most Craftsman tools are no longer US made. On a more useful note, we have a F450 for towing a 5vr toyhauler. We've had 3 incidents requiring being stopped of the side of I26. I had one Hi-Vis vest, but bought a 2nd one for my wife. Drivers rarely slow down for disabled vehicles, so anything you can do to be seen is a good thing.
Love your videos and your personalities. Taking a trip to Denver the end of August, so looking forward to your Denver videos. One suggestion: your music is much louder than your voice, so have to constantly adjust volume.
J.T. thank you sir! We loved our time in Denver. If you get the chance, make sure to go white water rafting. That was our favorite! And, good to note on the music. What type of device are you watching the videos on?
@@Wanderlocal my Samsung Smart TV, so that may have something to do with it, if no one else is having the same issue. No big deal, and not a criticism, just wanted to mention. I just booked tickets for a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Oh and great job towing!!
We already got our tow vehicle but I remember when we were on the hunt for one, really wish we had this video when we were in the market! Very thorough!
Dan, that is awesome! I (Daniel) thought for sure these were single use, but was wrong. This comment is one of the MANY reasons we love to read though the feedback. Thank you!!!!
I have a 09 dodge1 ton,single wheel. Although my AS is lighter than yours,I often haul much heavier loads. Love the exhaust brake coming out of the mountains. Stay safe.
Great info on your tow vehicle, thanks so much. Now I have a starting point. One question...Knowing what you know now, is there anything you would do different concerning the truck?
Beautiful truck, love the color, I’ve got the white gold version, had a Tundra which I loved also but had to go with a diesel because we upgraded our trailer, wish Toyota had a diesel truck….safe travels 😊
Sweet truck yall We have a 2016 Ford F 150 her name is big red ans she tows a 2003 29ft Keystone Sprinter that is 6410 dry wt with no sweat thanks yall see ya in the next one
Hi, Mike! This is the one we have on the truck. It has tracks for mounts you can buy to keep the bikes up there. Since we don't yet have bikes I haven't ordered them yet, but we plan on getting bikes soon. There's a few different manufacturers that make the bike attachment too. The funny thing, is that I haven't looked at it online in a while. It looks like they have a remote version now. 🤯 I don't know if that's a good thing, or bad thing. Very interesting! www.amazon.com/dp/B07GDB6CNN?ref=exp_wanderlocal_dp_vv_d
Jared, great question! Here's a link to the version we have - although it looks like they recently came out with a remote version as well (not sure if it's better or worse). www.amazon.com/dp/B07GDB6CNN?ref=exp_wanderlocal_dp_vv_d
As always guys thanks for sharing … that’s is an awesome organization structure and oh man can I tell you how gorilla tape and flex tape are life savers for the rig 😁 ….. thanks again awesome ppl !!!
The ease of towing in the mountains is 90% diesel, and 10% 3/4 ton truck. Your mileage towing with the diesel is likely in the 12-16 mpg range depending on conditions, and if it was a gasser would likely be in the 6-10 mpg range. I have done both. After buying my Duramax, I won't ever tow with a gasser again. The other thing you get with the diesel truck is heavy duty everything. The axles, the bearings, the brake rotors, the brake pads, and all the rest. I drove a 2002 Duramax 402K miles and never had to do a brake job on it. Also, the diesel truck will weight more by over 1000 lbs than the F250 gasser. There is just no substitute for a diesel when towing. I have a moonroof in my Duramax now. I had it Limo Tinted because it let too much of the Texas sun beat down into the truck. Huge difference in lowering the inside cab temp with the Limo Tint in place. My generator is a Westinghouse 4500 Dual Fuel that I run on propane. No messy gas can to haul around for me. And the only thing bad about collapsible ladders, is they sometimes do at the wrong time.
Great video on how you organized your truck. Simple question why aren't you using your sewer hose tube under your trailer instead of putting ithe hose in a tub?
Edward, we have two 10 ft interlocking hoses. One time I (Daniel) put them in the hose tube under the Airstream and it came unlocked. 😱It took me forever to get it out, not to mention it was gross. 🤣Since then, I started putting it in the dirty bin that I already had for Magnum PIG, sewer wrenches, caps, etc.
Hey guys! I’m getting caught up on your latest videos! This is probably one of your best informational videos so far! A big thanks to Daniel for all the great tips on safety equipment! Good stuff for sure. Looking forward to meeting up with you all one day. Stay safe! John (fly4202)
TAIL WAGGING THE DOG IF SCARY. REAL SCARY. ONCE THE WAGGING STARTS IT ONLY GETS WORSE UNTIL THE WAGGING STOPS. AND THAT'S USUALLY A CRASH. WHEN THE WAGGING STARTS YOU'LL SEE IT IN THE MIRRORS BEFORE YOU FEEL IT IN THE SEAT. MASH THE GAS/ACCELERATOR/POWER PEDAL (WHATEVER YOU CALL IT). THE TRUCK WILL PULL THE TRAILER BACK IN LINE BEHIND THE TRUCK. AND IF YOU CAN, WITHOUT PANICKING AND GETTING EVERYTHING ALL CATYWOMPUS, SLOWLY APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL. AND DO NOT LET OFF THE POWER. HOPE THIS HELPS. SAVED ME A FEW TIMES
You guys are wonderful, it’s always real and I love that. Your truck is absolutely beautiful. I love my tail gait step also. I may or may not have left pins on the bumper, so true, it’s a guy thing.
Brian, great question! We have not added airbags. I try to keep the heaviest of object in the truck bed located toward the cabin e.x.: generators, fuel cans, tools. After driving over 30k miles we've had zero issues without having airbags. Daniel
Great videos. Question about your F250 Diesel. Maybe the Audio just doesn’t pick it up but your truck doesn’t sound very loud. I have a 2022 F250 Diesel and maybe I’m just not used to it but it seems so loud. I feel like I’m driving an old school bus. Once it gets up to speed it’s not as noticeable but starting from a stand still it’s very loud. Is your like that?
Hey, Truong-An Thai! We have an Equal-i-zer WDH. If you're interested in purchasing this hitch, use the code "wander" for 7% off of the price. We've travelled over 30k miles with this and it's been amazing!!! Let us know if you have any questions. Lauren + Daniel
Hi guys, love your channel. Noticed you were zipping by other trailers while going uphill…while Airstream tires are rated for 80ish MPH, best practice is not to exceed 62ish. Don’t wanna see you have a blowout out there! Stay safe and see ya out there on the road!
I don’t know who’s doing the video editing but PLEASE lower the audio levels on the music in your videos. Oftentimes I listen to the audio when I’m out and about while using Airpods, and if I adjust the volume on my device to hear your voices perfectly, every time the music comes on I’m about to blow my ear drums, and if I adjust it to hear the music at a good level, your voices are barely audible… So either raise your levels on your voices, or lower the levels on your music. Thanks! Other than that, keep up the great work!
Hi, Larry! It stays surprisingly dry under there, but I do keep things in bins just in case. It comes with two small tubes under the canister for the water run off that slides into a slot where it drains below the bed of the truck. They look like two black caps that easily pop off. It took me 2-4 hours to install this, and once installed there's not much else to do.
Hi, James! Great question. Our windows came tinted from the dealership, so we're not sure how hot they'd get without them being tinted, but for us - unless we leave the sky light open they stay cool. Also, the seats have a cooling feature, so if it's too hot we turn them on. L+D
if you open your window a quarter inch and have a sun shade on the windshield to let out the heat it will help to protect the interior and it will be cooler when you get in
did you selected any special package 📦 to get a higher payload? I am in the process of ordering one ☝️ f-250 lariat 4x4 off-road with lariat ultimate and the ultimate towing package but I am not sure what payload I would get. I did search online and the numbers are all over the place. From 2100 to 3100. Mostly around 2700. I try to get the f-150 powerboost with the 7.2k generator but the payload was around 1300-1600. And I need it minimum 1800.
