We'll spend a week in Valdez. Hmmm...what's there to do in Valdez? We've taken our Thor Class C Magnitude all over Alaska like the Haul Road to Prudhoe Bay, on the ORIGINAL Highway to Denali National Park and now we slowly make our way to Valdez! At least it's not like the Ice Road Truckers doing it in winter and the trip is paved!
Taking our Class C motorhome to Alaska the Last Frontier so we can get to some remote areas and drive on roads less traveled. Like up to the Arctic Ocean or a view of the Alaska Range.
We've been planning this Alaska RV road trip for over a year and we're doing it. Enough talk, let's walk! Well...we'll drive but you get the picture. RV Fulltime Living is an adventure.
We're heading to Valdez mainly for the LuLu Belle cruise (Lulu Belle Wildlife Cruise) and Captain Fred. It's a lot of fun and we were graced with lots of wildlife, caves and glaciers! Last time in Valdez we missed the salmon run, how about this time?
Our RV is a Thor Magnitude and so far on the trip it's been doing great getting about 10 mpg so far. We hope it doesn't get used to these nice roads in the next week!
Always epic views but will the clouds part for us to really see Valdez? It's a gorgeous setting for a town so we're excited to see what the week brings.

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 RU-vid channels Suite Travels and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks (Happilyeverhanks) #thankshanks
Our journey is the destination. Let's discover What's Next. We enjoy sharing our experiences of true fulltime RV lifestyle as we travel nearly weekly to all sorts of interesting places.

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.
