I have lived in Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas, but when I went to Alabama, I knew the source of the cliches about the South. It is truly the gracious south, with all the trimmings. I really liked this video. You are so entertaining and informative and fun.
I had a Dometic RV fridge that would warm up while moving and worked fine when my trailer was parked. Took it back to a dealer many times and they said nothing wrong. Finally took it to a place that specialized in RV appliances. I told them my story and said you have a bad fridge from when they solder the pipes some times the solder gets in the pipes as a loose ball of solder. It rolls around plugging up the ammonia line in travel and falls to the bottom and lets the coolant flow when you stop. They put in a new fridge and solved my problems. Don't waste your time with RV dealers as they know the least about the product.
Hey guys, Eli here. I rarely comment in your videos because you get enough comments and compliments but today I want to take a moment to tell you how much I love you guys. A few years ago I read about a sociological study done in the 70's that change the way I see life. They interviewed 50 people over the age of 95 who were asked what they would do differently if given the opportunity to live life over again. There were many answers, but three kept coming to the table with the majority of them: 1- Reflect more 2- Take more risks 3- Do more and do more things that would live after they died (in other words, LEAVE A LEGACY). What I found fascinating about this, is that someone was telling me in advance the things that I am going to be extremely likely to regret later in life. Since I read this, I have been trying to apply this to my own life. The biggest compliment I can give you today is that when I see episodes like this one, I can clearly see you living your life keeping these principles in mind. Much love to both of yaa. E&F
Thanks Eli. You're making it happen! I have read similar articles about interviews with people who were days from death and the conclusion I came up with is it seemed most people regretted only the chances they didn't take, not the things that didn't work out.
Refrigerator tip: upgrade your unit to add a Amish cooling unit from JC Refrigeration in Shipshewana , IN. They will install it if you go there. We live in Austin, TX ( we were at your meet up at the brewery with Less Junk More Journey) .. ours (Norcold 12 cu ft) would barely get below 50 degrees in the summer. Now we get 7-10 in the freezer and easily 35 or 40 in the summer. Their cooling unit is about 2x what came standard in our Norcold.
I grew up in Florida, went to college in Alabama. It's even more south than Florida! Very much full of that southern "charm" Hahaha. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels.
18:49 - 21:10 - You Guys have THE BEST ADVICE. I've seen and heard it before from some of your other episodes. You two have just the best way of putting words together to live by. And early on.. Back with your first episode (I made a comment on) that I remember so vividly because I KNEW Exactly- where you had your flat Because I'm a Native Phonecian and in addition of a season of your episodes, your advice helped change my mind of waiting for retirement to "We can do it now!!?? - We SHOULD do it now" Got our first coach literally just over a year ago. Even though we still own a home, and work Full Time, and On-Call- Those inspirational words to live by from you and Trish Still motivates me to get out and explore even though we knew getting into this RV lifestyle that we would have to be Weekend Warriors for a few years first. But your words of Wisdom Trish, motivate us to experience a free-er lifestyle.
When I finally made up my mind that I was really going, there was always one more thing that I needed to look after. Even though I really wanted to fulltime and I had talked about it for years, the closer I got to leaving the more scared I got. In the end I just had to say that’s it and I’m going! I didn’t get out of the house until 8:00 at night, but at least I was off. I have learned so much in the last 7 months! Some of which I didn’t want to know, but have loved being out there. Feel the fear and do it anyway! All worth it! BTW, I loved your first episode. Real people doing real things.
The tour is a great idea. You are so right that touring RV's when they are brand new and shiny you don't get a good sense of how it will work when actually lived in. People are so creative when it comes to storage and making a small space work, it's amazing. On the topic of the south, here in VA, we are considered to be "southern" as well. We are south of the Mason/Dixon line is why but I think it is because we too say "Y'all". LOL. Safe Travels guys!
I love the reminder of getting started! When we moved in we also had to drive cross state for a wedding, and on the way back, with both of us having exactly 0.1 experience in towing a trailer....we got stuck in a dead end that wasnt even fully paved at the end. So, we had to 27 point turn around and it was teeeeerrifying to attempt...but, you learn as you go!
You guys inspired us 2 years ago when I found (stumbled upon) your vids... since then. we had bought a used 30 footer and we live in it for 2 months in the summer. We have had wonderful memories w/ our son already! Thanks ur inspiring a lot of us!
A friend bought a small blank encolosed trailer (a 4 wheeler might fit in it) to go hunting, fishing for a weekend with his dog. For him it' s easier to get going, no camper prep, can be hauled behind his little toyota pickup, he can use it to haul stuff like a bigger truck and It allows him to do an early morning get away anytime.
Keep us updated on the frigerator issue. We have the same fridge and we have the same problems. Some days it works excellent other days we can't get it below 45deg. It doesn't seem to matte if were on propane or electricity or what the temperature outside is. In fact it has happened to us on a two week trip recently, It work for the 1st 3 or 4 days, then stopped working for about 4 days, and then started working for the rest of the trip. We never have it packed very full because we tend to eat out a lot. But we do carry the occasionals barbecue dinner meat and milk for breakfast cereal in it for the two of us. Were in a 2017 GD Reflection 5th wheel.
10 days today...my journey begins. Bought my trailer and truck. 10 days from now is my first camping trip with it. This summer is all about short trips and learning to set-up, tear-down and camp on my own. I already work full-time from home so I am now beginning my journey to full-time nomad life. I am sooooo excited. It's a long time dream that I have broke down into baby steps to make it manageable. And here it goes. Yeah. Thank you for inspiring me. Showing me that it is possible. Thank you Thank you Thank you
As someone who has seen all 100+ videos and too have made the transition due to your inspiration I must say, lol yall have this blueprint of video making down to a science! Had I not known the story I would've thought yall were previously in film making! I still love watching the KYD family!! 😍 I wish you all continued success and adventure...and most of all Welcome Back to the States!!! 😄 I miss this footage the most! New Zealand was cool, but welcome back! 😂
I had anxiety over a less traveled experience today. I had not completed a solo journey in a long time, so I had anxiety over it. I went to church for an hour...talked to some folks...confidence boost. I went home, grabbed extra tow stuff, a dolly and drove to Colorado to look at a car...to be used to fix another car. I wish I had a smart GPS to correct the one that sent me down the wrong muddy road. I had to unhook the dolly, turn it around, turn the truck around, reconnect the dolly to get back to the correct road. Then the power steering went out on the truck. All of the components looked fine, no noise, just no power. I bought the car. We did a light check on the trailer to find that the truck brake lights didn't work, but the running and turn signals worked. Suspected a brake switch or bad connector at the back. Couldn't find a quick fix. I did a work around and used the parking lights switch to turn on the tail lamps when I used the brakes ...until I got back where I could get it fixed. Got back safely. Of course, the guy I bought the car was generous to offer help if I had any problems.. Great experiences prepare us to do bolder adventures without allowing worry or anxiety to stop us.
Check behind your fridge. I’ve yet to see an RV fridge with baffles installed properly. The burner creates a draft which draws additional air past the coils that is supposed to cool them. The install manual says to have baffles to to direct air flow through the coils. Most installs just leave a big empty space so most air goes around instead of through coils. Yes, you also need air flow inside as well. A small battery fan worked well for us, but not until I installed baffles.
Your message and reminder about RV life is a great reminder to EVERYONE regarding life in general. Always take the steps that are scariest and don't wait until things are perfect, because they rarely are. But if you want to live life, really live it, you need to move ahead in whatever you are passionate about at the time. It doesn't always go smoothly, but that just makes the best stories. Love your show and your open sharing. You touch many lives in a positive way.
I have a house fridge, but I put all my dairy items on the two lower shelves because when you open the fridge heat enters and heat rises. It has made a big difference and food last longer. When I bring all my grocerys home before I can package freezer items I put one or two freezer cold blocks between my meats. : ) peace
Loved this video ❤️ We started RVing last year with an older Gas RV to see if it would be for our family. Well, it turned out it was and we will be heading out in our “new to us Diesel Pusher” in a couple weeks. We picked up your Summer to Remember shirts for the fam and love them! We’ll take some pics of us in them soon and post on social media. Thanks for the inspiration guys! 😀
I've finally all caught up with the videos and I'm very excited for season 7 in the U.S . I love watching your videos it's almost as if I'm there right beside you guys. I really enjoy watching these videos to see where I should go Rving when I get one.
@@fivemiller it was months of preparation but in the end was well worth having the sale. Now we're on to painting and fixing some things up to list our home this September. Enjoy your adventure
We wanna thank you guys, because you kept us inspired during our RV remodel! Our favorite part about your family is how hilarious you all are. Coeur d'Alene is Christi's hometown, so if you ever return, we'll show you the goods there! Take care and much love. We really appreciate you and your amazing content.
We love meeting you guys! We kept watching the drone footage, because you can’t miss seeing our bright red. Your speech was awesome and very inspiring.
Thanks for this episode, we sold our 5th wheel last summer because it was too small for our household. Just bought a grand design imagine, retiring in August.Doing our Daydream hopefully
Definitely better than what's been on tv lately. I'd much rather watch these guys then anything on tv....but sense I don't a TV with channels and haven't had one for years, I'd rather they stayed here on TH-cam 😎
Hey this is ron here again, from Tennessee. Gunnersville, awsome. Seeing how your in the area? It would be cool to see YALL at tims ford state park in winchester tn. They have two campgrounds, devils step (fairveiw ) or the main park about 12 miles from devil's step. Devils step is recently updated. Hope to see you all!
Alabama is definitely the south. Great video, cool to see other RVer's and their RVs. You and Trish are natural speakers but I think we already knew that from your video's. Hugs, Brenda
Another great video! Amazing content...you guys break the mold for creators and I am not being sarcastic, love your heart for family travels and adventures.
Thought we began a channel of our own but it doesn't come up for us so not sure what we did wrong. Back to the drawing board. Really enjoy your adventures.
Great video! Learning a lot. I just got into your videos recently due to your time in the 5th wheel. I say “just” because I was one of those that watched a couple of the first few season 1 episodes. I just didn’t see this channel lasting - hahaha. I am so impressed that you stuck with it.
I really appreciated the part about your dream being to big so you just put it on a shelf and visit it we did that for a long time but now we are newbies we've had our trailer for 1 month and we are taking it out on the shakedown trip in two weeks and we are insanely excited Thank you for sharing your life
Wish I could have met yall while you were here in Alabama. We do a lot of camping up in the Guntersville area. Beautiful up there in northeast Alabama. My family lives in central Alabama. Thanks for sharing your story.
Had a similar issue with our fridge (dometic) in a slide. We have a GD Reflection 28BH. My dealer discovered the LP hose was being crimped when we ran the slide in. It was driving us nuts, worked great on shore power, worked on Lp with slide out. Drive all day and get to our destination and it would be 46*.
Loved the "y'all" talk around 9 minutes. Spoken like a true Southerner. :P Also, the tours of all of the different rigs was great! It's so fun to see how other full timers set up and live. -Blair
Sounds like a new fridge is in the future! It’s crazy how there’s always a factory rep. Around when it’s working great and they have all the answers for how to keep it running great as well it’s never there problem it’s something your doing wrong! Great video , make sure you lock that outside kitchen when your traveling it will pop open and a lot of time you can’t see the door because it’s so tall to the mirror on the truck.
Hey just got my KYD t-shirt. LOVE IT. Fits great- got a men's small. Just fit the way I like it.This summit looks awesome way to see great idea's people have with "pimping their RV's" Great info. Hope all is going well with your adventures. Getting ready - myself - to move from San Francisco CA to Albuquerque NM. Purchasing a house in the Jubilee community (55+ community) - will be moving there in June. Love to watch your trips - hoping to do it myself in few years. Though I have done some traveling myself - Did travel nursing for several years. Got to have working vacation at some pretty cool places. Keep up the great trips.
Guntersville! My hometown! So excited to see this episode. Guntersville State Park was hit hard by the April 2011 tornado outbreak. It is just starting to bounce back. Lake Guntersville has a lot of great fishing and boating fun! Would love to see your talk and others from the Summit. Were they recorded?
GR8 episode. Loved seeing all the different rig's and how people are living their best lives out and about. Super cool footage of the keynote too. Is there a place online to see your entire presentation at the summit?
YEP, it's the south! Loved this video. So much progress; however, it's easier to see when looking back. My hubby says that we remember what "didn't go as planned" much more than when it's going smoothly. Nice shot with the frizby and the return nailed A Streamin' Life's Airstream canopy. So much fun to see other familiar faces and rigs.
Hey y'all! Glad to see this come out! Thanks so much for putting this together. Fun to relive it. Also, who's that good looking guy with the beard at 10:00? ;)
Hi Nick! I follow your channel and you helped me learn to use YNAB and it changed our lives (even though we have always been budgeters, the YNAB app and philosophy changed things for us). We feel like we have more money now!
Where is the remainder of your talk on stage, tried looking for it. Tricia was talking about putting things like your dreams in a box and only taking it down for special occasions. That really resonated with me and I wanted to hear the rest of it! New subscriber BTW, love the channel and authenticity! 👏❤️✌️
I can't wait for May 18, arriving at Lake Guntersville .living in South South Alabama now. Love it when we come to Gunnersville close to where we grew up. Too bad we couldn't make it when KYD was there
Awe, I'm heading to Alabama on the 22nd !!!! You are in the Heart of Dixie !!! I wanted to bring my little camper but I've never pulled it in the mountains yet only around Michigan so I was afraid to pull it alone as my husband isn't coming this time !!! I hope you had a wonderful time there...
I was just by that RV park Monday. I started Monday in Birmingham, up to Forest City MO, to Flagstaff AZ, down to Phoenix and Lewisville TX I unload 6 May. Then load in Abilene to run back through Birmingham to Anniston AL. I gotra tell ya I keep an eye out for guys, so if a crazy trucker pulling a dump wagon honks at ya, that me. Awesome vids, always enjoy watching.
Enjoyed! It's fun seeing the other RVs and the community it creates. One of the things that surprised me on my trip to Mountain View AR, was how the trees over grew the road. I spent most of the time driving down the middle of the road or beat up the side of the RV. Haha have fun y'all.
Love the “y’alls” coming out 😂 And the first RV tour was the guy who showed me how to setup YNAB (You need a budget)...GREAT tutorials! So cool to recognize all these faces across TH-cam. ...still wanted to see how all those groceries made it into the fridge 😊🤣
Sprouts is my favorite grocery store you should’ve given it a try :) lots of healthy choices! The south is a fun, interesting experience if you’re not Southern. How fun to figure it all out as you go!
Great video guys!!! We are leaving today on our maiden voyage up to Williams, AZ in our 2003 Springdale 26' Bunk House with our two little girls (3 & 5), two Queensland Healers, and old 2002 Dodge all thanks to you! We couldn't afford to buy this trailer but we did it anyway because I was tired of waiting for the "right moment" to come, the money to do it and my girls are growing up too fast! So, because this is your fault you have to come up there and tow my rig back if we break down! :) It would be a good excuse to meet all y'all in any case. You've truly been an inspiration to so many! Keep an eye out for us on the road. We'll be the crazy people waiving at you frantically out the windows with smoke pouring out the engine and tires falling off!
Yes Alabama is the south . If you want to get technical it's the deep south. We moved to Huntsville last year from Oregon however my entire family lives here. The south is beautiful, the bugs are something else , and the people are friendly unless they are behind the wheel.
We have been watching y’alls videos since the beginning. Really enjoy them. Watched your latest today. Saw an image that I recognized. Y’all we’re driving across the ouachita river bridge in Monroe Louisiana. We live in the next town called Rayville. And yeah Louisiana is really the south!!!
Picking up our Tow Vehicle on Tuesday, Used Silverado 2500. First step in the process to make it real. If we waited until we could buy something new, it wouldn't happen. If you start the process, you are closer to the goal.
Great Video!! Brought back a lot of memories of the RVE Summit. Really enjoyed your keynote and your Sunday session. We enjoyed seeing our rig (parked right next to the Dometic 5th wheeler) on the drone shots - just a small white rectangle but still home sweet RV home. Really looking forward to this season and your travels in TN and KY. By the way - as one or two people MAY have mentioned - yes AL is in the South - the DEEP South. Y'ALL!! Herman and Connie
What you said in today's episode, about starting with what you have, resonated with me. I want to travel full time, it has been my dream for years. But it's not something I can do today. But I decided what I can do is buy an RV trailer, try living in it in KC ( we will see how that goes) and travel on my free weekends. Of course wearing my #summertoremember t-shirt. Even if living in it full time doesn't work out, I will have downsized from a large house & that alone is freeing.
There are never any regrets to living deliberately and enjoying the things you have. Make it happen. It won't go perfect, but you'll course correct along the way 👍
I have lived in Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas, but when I went to Alabama, I knew the source of the cliches about the South. It is truly the gracious south, with all the trimmings. I really liked this video. You are so entertaining and informative and fun.

Yes, Alabama is very South!! LA, MS, AL, GA are definitely South. Florida is its own world!!
You missed North and South Carolina. And, yes Florida is it's own world.

Pretty sure guys will not buy that.

awill2 inspired us as well not only to buy arc but also to create our own travel channel. Hope to be at their level someday.
Yes, Alabama is the South! Also keep a small fan blowing inside the fridge to help keep the airflow circulating as well as the outside vent too.
A friend bought a small blank encolosed trailer (a 4 wheeler might fit in it) to go hunting, fishing for a weekend with his dog. For him it' s easier to get going, no camper prep, can be hauled behind his little toyota pickup, he can use it to haul stuff like a bigger truck and It allows him to do an early morning get away anytime.

I was going to post a similar comment :) I like the comment about starting small and incorporating more of your dreams as you go.
Well said. You only go around once.
I have a house fridge, but I put all my dairy items on the two lower shelves because when you open the fridge heat enters and heat rises. It has made a big difference and food last longer. When I bring all my grocerys home before I can package freezer items I put one or two freezer cold blocks between my meats. : ) peace
Loved this video ❤️ We started RVing last year with an older Gas RV to see if it would be for our family. Well, it turned out it was and we will be heading out in our “new to us Diesel Pusher” in a couple weeks. We picked up your Summer to Remember shirts for the fam and love them!

What a great episode! We just completed our four-day estate sale so that we can work on getting ourselves on the road full time yay...
Lyn, how did the estate sale go? My wife and I are considering the same thing. Any help appreciated! The Miller's
@@fivemiller it was months of preparation but in the end was well worth having the sale. Now we're on to painting and fixing some things up to list our home this September. Enjoy your adventure
Roll Tide!! Alabama is the heart of Dixie.I still can't believe that I was unaware of a summit in my backyard.
We wanna thank you guys, because you kept us inspired during our RV remodel! Our favorite part about your family is how hilarious you all are. Coeur d'Alene is Christi's hometown, so if you ever return, we'll show you the goods there! Take care and much love. We really appreciate you and your amazing content.
Omg, yall... we were laughing so hard over the "is Alabama South"... LOL!!!! Yall are hilarious!
2:50 is the Ouachita Parish court house, Monroe La.
We love meeting you guys! We kept watching the drone footage, because you can’t miss seeing our bright red. Your speech was awesome and very inspiring.
I wonder when Dave got that footage and if you were there by then!
Thanks for this episode, we sold our 5th wheel last summer because it was too small for our household. Just bought a grand design imagine, retiring in August.Doing our Daydream hopefully
James Nunn congrats. We own a small Lance trailer but grand design was top of the list for sure. Nice trailers.
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, So. Carolina and probably a couple more are part of the South.
I wonder when the Discovery Channel will solicit KYD for a weekly show? You guys are so darn entertaining!
Thanks Terry.
Definitely better than what's been on tv lately. I'd much rather watch these guys then anything on tv....but sense I don't a TV with channels and haven't had one for years, I'd rather they stayed here on TH-cam 😎
Hey this is ron here again, from Tennessee. Gunnersville, awsome. Seeing how your in the area? It would be cool to see YALL at tims ford state park in winchester tn. They have two campgrounds, devils step (fairveiw ) or the main park about 12 miles from devil's step. Devils step is recently updated. Hope to see you all!
Alabama is definitely the south. Great video, cool to see other RVer's and their RVs. You and Trish are natural speakers but I think we already knew that from your video's. Hugs, Brenda
Another great video! Amazing content...you guys break the mold for creators and I am not being sarcastic, love your heart for family travels and adventures.
Michael Flynn yes they do.
Thought we began a channel of our own but it doesn't come up for us so not sure what we did wrong. Back to the drawing board. Really enjoy your adventures.
Bless your hearts! We are the heart of the South!
Great video! Learning a lot. I just got into your videos recently due to your time in the 5th wheel. I say “just” because I was one of those that watched a couple of the first few season 1 episodes. I just didn’t see this channel lasting - hahaha. I am so impressed that you stuck with it.
You only get 18 summers with your kid. Timely and profound advice. Thank You.
I really appreciated the part about your dream being to big so you just put it on a shelf and visit it we did that for a long time but now we are newbies we've had our trailer for 1 month and we are taking it out on the shakedown trip in two weeks and we are insanely excited
Thank you for sharing your life
crazy chick good luck. You will love it. There will be some trails and errors but the memories will be awesome.
@@adventuresofjandk thank you!
Wish I could have met yall while you were here in Alabama. We do a lot of camping up in the Guntersville area. Beautiful up there in northeast Alabama. My family lives in central Alabama. Thanks for sharing your story.
Nick True! Good to see him on your channel! I follow him and use YNAB and it has changed our lives for the better.
Had a similar issue with our fridge (dometic) in a slide. We have a GD Reflection 28BH. My dealer discovered the LP hose was being crimped when we ran the slide in. It was driving us nuts, worked great on shore power, worked on Lp with slide out. Drive all day and get to our destination and it would be 46*.
As ALWAYS you guys are nothing short of AWESOME! Steve and Cathy
You're too kind. I just sent you an email :)
Loved the "y'all" talk around 9 minutes. Spoken like a true Southerner. :P Also, the tours of all of the different rigs was great! It's so fun to see how other full timers set up and live. -Blair
Sounds like a new fridge is in the future! It’s crazy how there’s always a factory rep. Around when it’s working great and they have all the answers for how to keep it running great as well it’s never there problem it’s something your doing wrong! Great video , make sure you lock that outside kitchen when your traveling it will pop open and a lot of time you can’t see the door because it’s so tall to the mirror on the truck.
The solution comes next weekend.
I loved the RV Park and Tour of all the Rigs! #KYD
Hey just got my KYD t-shirt. LOVE IT. Fits great- got a men's small. Just fit the way I like it.This summit looks awesome way to see great idea's people have with "pimping their RV's" Great info. Hope all is going well with your adventures.
Getting ready - myself - to move from San Francisco CA to Albuquerque NM. Purchasing a house in the Jubilee community (55+ community) - will be moving there in June.
Love to watch your trips - hoping to do it myself in few years. Though I have done some traveling myself - Did travel nursing for several years. Got to have working vacation at some pretty cool places. Keep up the great trips.
Dallas Willard great name Dallas. This coming from a Cowboys fan. 😂
Guntersville! My hometown! So excited to see this episode. Guntersville State Park was hit hard by the April 2011 tornado outbreak. It is just starting to bounce back. Lake Guntersville has a lot of great fishing and boating fun! Would love to see your talk and others from the Summit. Were they recorded?
GR8 episode. Loved seeing all the different rig's and how people are living their best lives out and about. Super cool footage of the keynote too. Is there a place online to see your entire presentation at the summit?
Don't be hating on Sprouts. Sprouts is awesome!
YEP, it's the south! Loved this video. So much progress; however, it's easier to see when looking back. My hubby says that we remember what "didn't go as planned" much more than when it's going smoothly. Nice shot with the frizby and the return nailed A Streamin' Life's Airstream canopy. So much fun to see other familiar faces and rigs.
Hey y'all! Glad to see this come out! Thanks so much for putting this together. Fun to relive it.
Also, who's that good looking guy with the beard at 10:00? ;)
Lol. Did I ask you if I can put this on TH-cam? I guess you're cool with it, eh? I'm glad we caught your tour. Great job.
@@KeepYourDaydream haha, absolutely cool with it my man. Glad it worked out. The vlog turned out fantastic.
Hi Nick! I follow your channel and you helped me learn to use YNAB and it changed our lives (even though we have always been budgeters, the YNAB app and philosophy changed things for us). We feel like we have more money now!
Great video. I remember your “maiden voyage”. I’m so glad it didn’t end in 6 months. Be safe. Hope y’all are enjoying the new rig.
Where is the remainder of your talk on stage, tried looking for it. Tricia was talking about putting things like your dreams in a box and only taking it down for special occasions. That really resonated with me and I wanted to hear the rest of it!
New subscriber BTW, love the channel and authenticity! 👏❤️✌️
I can't wait for May 18, arriving at Lake Guntersville .living in South South Alabama now. Love it when we come to Gunnersville close to where we grew up. Too bad we couldn't make it when KYD was there
Locktite works well for screws that come loose. 2 types, 1 for permanent and 1 for later removal. Probably already know this. 😊
Lake Guntersville was the very first place we took our T@B 13 years ago. You should have seen it before the Tornado
Yes,it is in the south!
If it's going to happen it's going to happen out there. Capt. Ron.
Awe, I'm heading to Alabama on the 22nd !!!! You are in the Heart of Dixie !!! I wanted to bring my little camper but I've never pulled it in the mountains yet only around Michigan so I was afraid to pull it alone as my husband isn't coming this time !!! I hope you had a wonderful time there...
YES Alabama is the South!!!!! I hope you were kidding.
You need the fan for the Refridgerator. We bought the three fan one on Amazon. It works great, keeps the fridge, at 33 degrees. Love it.
I agree and we will for better cooling, but the problem was bigger. More to come in a couple weeks :)
I was just by that RV park Monday. I started Monday in Birmingham, up to Forest City MO, to Flagstaff AZ, down to Phoenix and Lewisville TX I unload 6 May. Then load in Abilene to run back through Birmingham to Anniston AL. I gotra tell ya I keep an eye out for guys, so if a crazy trucker pulling a dump wagon honks at ya, that me. Awesome vids, always enjoy watching.
Enjoyed! It's fun seeing the other RVs and the community it creates. One of the things that surprised me on my trip to Mountain View AR, was how the trees over grew the road. I spent most of the time driving down the middle of the road or beat up the side of the RV. Haha have fun y'all.
We are about an hour from guntersville state park. Yes Alabama is in South. Lol and yes it's y'all. Love your videos.
Welcome to Sweet Home Alabama.
Love the “y’alls” coming out 😂
And the first RV tour was the guy who showed me how to setup YNAB (You need a budget)...GREAT tutorials! So cool to recognize all these faces across TH-cam.
...still wanted to see how all those groceries made it into the fridge 😊🤣
Sprouts is my favorite grocery store you should’ve given it a try :) lots of healthy choices! The south is a fun, interesting experience if you’re not Southern. How fun to figure it all out as you go!
I'm sure it's good! Just needed some staples for a busy week :)
You guys are awesome! Thanks for the encouragement.
Great video guys!!! We are leaving today on our maiden voyage up to Williams, AZ in our 2003 Springdale 26' Bunk House with our two little girls (3 & 5), two Queensland Healers, and old 2002 Dodge all thanks to you! We couldn't afford to buy this trailer but we did it anyway because I was tired of waiting for the "right moment" to come, the money to do it and my girls are growing up too fast! So, because this is your fault you have to come up there and tow my rig back if we break down! :) It would be a good excuse to meet all y'all in any case. You've truly been an inspiration to so many! Keep an eye out for us on the road. We'll be the crazy people waiving at you frantically out the windows with smoke pouring out the engine and tires falling off!
Yep Alabama is the south! Great video. Sorry I've gotten behind on all the channels I watch on TH-cam. Trying to do some catching up now ☺
Thank you! We got our RV because of you guys.
Any chance you could post your full speech/presentation?
I second that.
Heath sometimes posts the full presentations on his podcast The RV Entrepreneur
Yes Alabama is the south . If you want to get technical it's the deep south. We moved to Huntsville last year from Oregon however my entire family lives here. The south is beautiful, the bugs are something else , and the people are friendly unless they are behind the wheel.
I'd like to see the entire talk you guys did at the conference!
We have been watching y’alls videos since the beginning. Really enjoy them. Watched your latest today. Saw an image that I recognized. Y’all we’re driving across the ouachita river bridge in Monroe Louisiana. We live in the next town called Rayville. And yeah Louisiana is really the south!!!
Let’s renovate an Airstream! I’m ready!
Lol. You're not picking up.... Jared? Hello.... Tricia, how do you dial from an unknown number? ;)
Having lived in the south all my (born put togethers); Bama is in the south.
Whatever about Rving so much amazing life advice. Thank you.
That was really.cool. It was like a home tour on wheels. And YES , Alabama is definitely in the South. 😃
I would like to see the full video of you two on stage sharing your story. Just a request from a LA native (Lower Alabama)!
ARSMITH36571 bought The RV Entrepreneur Summit online; worth the hundred bucks!
Picking up our Tow Vehicle on Tuesday, Used Silverado 2500. First step in the process to make it real. If we waited until we could buy something new, it wouldn't happen. If you start the process, you are closer to the goal.
Great Video!! Brought back a lot of memories of the RVE Summit. Really enjoyed your keynote and your Sunday session. We enjoyed seeing our rig (parked right next to the Dometic 5th wheeler) on the drone shots - just a small white rectangle but still home sweet RV home. Really looking forward to this season and your travels in TN and KY. By the way - as one or two people MAY have mentioned - yes AL is in the South - the DEEP South. Y'ALL!!

The mason dixon line is the line between Maryland and Pennsylvania and extends West.
Alabama is the south. Louisiana (particularly south Louisiana) is the Deep South/ Gulf South. I-20 is what I call the Bible Belt.
me wearing my KYD t-shirt! Yeah. Hope to see you on the road somewhere/someday! Keep up the great video's.
Awesome profile pic! 👍
Tricia and I have just purchased a small rv for various "Getaways". Found your channel and we love it. What happened to the 450 and new rv?
You have to love that southern hospitality. I live in the Boot but technically Alabama is in the south
Yes, Alabama is the South...Mississippi too.
Great video, just reaffirms my feelings on following our Daydream. Thanks so much for being an inspiration.
My sister lives in Mobile. You are DEFINITELY in the South. Happy travels. Love the videos!!! 🤟
We're there next weekend :)
Great leap of faith. Start small and go big.
What you said in today's episode, about starting with what you have, resonated with me. I want to travel full time, it has been my dream for years. But it's not something I can do today. But I decided what I can do is buy an RV trailer, try living in it in KC ( we will see how that goes) and travel on my free weekends. Of course wearing my #summertoremember t-shirt.
Even if living in it full time doesn't work out, I will have downsized from a large house & that alone is freeing.
There are never any regrets to living deliberately and enjoying the things you have. Make it happen. It won't go perfect, but you'll course correct along the way 👍
Alabama is in the south. In fact, Alabama is KING of the Southeast Conference. Roll Tide. Another great video, thanks.
