Honestly, this is why I started with a 3500 SRW in the first place. The ride is good with properly inflated 37s and good shocks and starting with 3800# of payload lets you haul whatever you want.

Yeah a 3500 would have defiantly been a good idea, but you live and learn. So glad I at least got the cummins. With the bags and the 4 rear 2.5 kings it actually works very well, the truck scoots offroad it's actually too fast considering it's not caged. The higher payload would have been awesome though, actually never planned don owing anything this large. Life changes!

We do a walk through of the Keystone Carbon 364 Toy Hauler (38' 3 slides). This is pretty significant for us because we have been looking into a new rig for awhile. There have been a few issues that have been adding up with our 2015 Keystone Cougar 313 ril and we thought our stay in our home town of Simi Valley would be a great time to take a look at new rigs.
Here's a list of the issues we are having with our current rig.
1. Separate office space.
2. on board generator.
3. Fresh water capacity.
4. Good storage area for our bikes.
5. A place for quests to stay when visiting.
6.Being able to easily walk around the bed.
There are a few others things that we have considered also, this is just a walk through. When RVing full-time smaller problems often seem as larger ones, so we figured we should address them as soon as possible. Also buying your first rig is extremely stressful and you can never find everything you want. Hope you enjoy the video!

We drove all the way across the country for a wedding! Dang we clean up nice, we are ready for wedding festivities. Congratulations Matt and Natalie!
The following day we install some Air Lift airbags that are much needed. We hope the the bags level the truck, as well as help with chucking. The install is quite simple, especially when you have a garage like my dad's! Hope you enjoy this video, have you installed air bags?

If you really want to cure chucking for good, swap to the Reese Goosebox and dump the 5th wheel hitch entirely. The closer you get the attachment point to the axle, the less chucking you will have. The air bag on the Goosebox is just icing on the cake.

We head to the Colorado River with friends for a long hot weekend. This is a family trip that our friends do every year and we happen to keep getting invited! While we were there the temperatures were ranging from 100-120 degrees! It's safe to say that we had to get a little creative considering that our trailer only has one A/C unit. This video has so much fun packed in, boating, volleyball, swimming and much more.
Also stick around till the very end, we save a Prius! From a sand pit, our friends took a wrong turn at night. We ended up going on a rescue mission! Hope you enjoy the video! Off Road friends should appreciate the Prius rescue.... It was super simple!

We are having more fun on the water. Jet skiing, paddle boarding and picking up floating river trash! Pirate Cove Resort is pretty amazing they have everything you could ask for. If you hang around till the end of this video you can see the amazing sunsets the area has to offer. We also give a quick resort summary/ review! Our thoughts on the place, let us know if you have any questions! Hope you enjoy the video!

We got a new rig! We are so excited, it took us a while to make a decision and we finally pulled the trigger, but we did it! Swapping rigs can be quite overwhelming, it's fairly similar to moving in a sticks and bricks but EVERYTHING eventually needs to find it's exact location!
With this video we are trying to show you our feelings that came with our process. From getting rid of our original trailer and the memories. To the excitement, hard work, and joy!
Please let us know your thoughts, have you switched rigs before?

Well we got a new trailer and it's very large. Our first shake down trip didn't go quite as planned, we had many problems. We don't let that get us down, in Big Bear California for the weekend with friends. We do some boondocking near Big Bear.
While we are in the area we head over to the Alpine Zoo! They help rehab injured animals and give homes to orphaned one's. 90% of the animals brought in are released back into their natural habitats.
We also take some time to visit with a good friend that moved into the area many years ago. He bought a house and has been living his dream, fishing, hunting and snowboarding. Hope you enjoy the video, let us know your thoughts on the new rig and the problems that we encounter.

In this video we show you how we converted our standard toy hauler ramp door into a patio/porch. Many of these ramp's come like this from the factory but our 2017 Keystone Carbon did not have that option. So we decided to add it ourselves. We are by no means professionals, this is just a simple way we converted our toy hauler ramp into a patio. Now we have a dual purpose ramp, we can load up our toys and then set it into patio mode. Make sure you use hardware strong enough for you exact trailer and configuration. Linked below is what we used. Feel free to purchase from our Amazon link, just know that we will get a commission for your purchase. Hope this helps!

So we installed some Daystar Cradles today! Hopefully they work well, took a bit longer than expected we had to drill and tap into the axle. Video to come!
