ℹ️ About the Episode: Getting ready to hit the road is fun-at least, for us. We enjoy the process of deciding what to bring and what to leave behind based on our route and planned activities. It seems that we bring fewer things each year. Like anything, simplicity is appreciated more with experience.
We also enjoy being forced to "reset" our lives by turning our home into a vacation rental AKA the KYD Cabin. It's so much work, but by the time we're finished each year, we're grateful that we were forced to make tough decisions about what stays in the cabin, what goes into the shed, and what goes to Goodwill. That process would not happen without this lifestyle. We have a big route planned for this year! We'll cross the country at least twice. First, we'll head east with the new Airstream and spend a bit of time in Florida when Caleb gets out of school. Then it's back to the west for more family events, plus some epic adventures along the coast.

Trish! You just changed everything for me on drying shoes! Thanks a million!
Me too!!
I didn’t know that I lived to see what Tricia’s name would be on Marks phone, but I think this has to be the best that I’ve caught. “ My little truffle “ 😂 good one. So excited for this new season. ❤️
The two of you work so well together. You're positive and uplifting to one another, and it's so heartwarming to see.
You guys really should consider a ramp for Charlie. I would bet $$ that he doesn't like jumping all the way in and out - hard on the joints. We got our big dog a ramp for each high vehicle years ago, and it's so much better for her! ❤
Agreed! Poor Charlie does not like jumping in - jumping pretty high, where there is not enough room to safely jump
And a bigger bed for him while driving - he doesn’t seem to be able to get comfortable in the back seat on long drives. Maybe he likes sitting up, don’t know.
We got steps for our aging mutt. They let him travel for another year.
watching Charlie hesitate on jumping into the back seat was kinda spooky. he's a bigger dog and not young. my girl blew out her right rear knee and it broke my heart let alone it was a surgery that cost almost 3k. it might be a good time to think about some steps for him to get into the truck. make it as easy as you can.
Did you see his nose when he looked down, lol The dog is a character too. To think I was going to miss Kaleb, 🤣. Great shake down. We are taking off in July; Oak Harbor, WA to Cleveland, Clarksburg, WVa and then maybe Bolivia, NC. Gotta visit fam and friends. Not sure about making hard reservations because we want to be flexible on our drive times based so we can stay longer in a nice area or just sleep in lol. We have a dog too, George eats at 0600 each day. Reminds us around 0525 that it is almost time for breakfast.
To help with keeping food in the fridge even after you fix the door, I installed spring tension rods across each shelf. Two on larger shelf. That way even if the door opens, it will keep things on the shelf. They are like $10 on Amazon. 12-28”.
Same here. Definitely works!
Hey guys stop at Home Depot and get child safety locks for you fridge peel and stick works for us!
Wonder what happened to the sway control hitch with the air safe setup?
We bought ours years ago from CW. Might be slightly less expensive on Amazon. They are a must have.
@@robertcolpitts4534 s, too.
I met a lady that used bean bags in her refrigerator to prevent items form rolling around. Also! Trish is a beautiful 1960's Tuesday Weld lookalike. What a great channel!
👋 Fellow grandchild of a WW1 veteran here as well! My grandfather left Saugerties, NY (Hudson Valley) to be a ground soldier in France and fought in the Battle of the Argonne Forrest. He lived to age 96 and received a nice certificate of appreciation from the country of France sometime in the late 1980's.
Same here! We have my grandfather's division photo on our wall and can pick him out of the thousands of other Iowans. Don't know too much about his time over there, other than he was gassed at one point yet made it home.
Happy Easter! He has Risen! ✝️
He has risen indeed!
AMEN SISTER
Risen Indeed!
Yes, He has risen and sits at the right hand of the Father!
Happy resurrection day
“towing ‘commando’…” 🤣
A quick and temporary fix for the fridge door would be a cheap tension rod set up between the fridge and cupboard/closet across from it. Safe travels and Happy Easter.
That's not a bad idea at all, but I'd add a thin sponge or one of those rubber jar opener thingies to put under the end that's on the frig so it doesn't cause a dent, just in case. I like the idea of adding tension rods inside the frog too.
@@ladikmk Trish *rarely* cooks frog anymore!! 😁
Trish, in all of our years of rving I can only remember one trip where everything was put away and organized before we left home. It is what it is! Have traveled I40 and marveled at the length of those trains. The memory of Caleb getting the engineers to toot the whistle popped up. Safe travels!
Step 1 to finding eternal happiness........don't go where it snows. That is all. Carry on.
Thank you for the sit down portion replying to recs from last week! We would honestly like more of that if possible. We’re just so invested in you all we love to know all the deets! Happy travels fam, we can’t wait to join you all for this journey!
Woohoo!!! Here we go!
Happy Easter !!
Love to the family
Last Summer I towed 3000lb camper to the tip top of Beech Mtn. N.C. My rear wheel drive truck , on the paved road, was handling trailer weight and grade fine as far as power went. But when I got to our friends gravel driveway, same steep grade, I had no traction. I vexed for two days while we stayed with them about how I would get out of there. Dropped the WD bars and watched the back end of the pickup sink. It worked and I came away with a better understanding of what those bars did and realized that on the way up, even on the paved roads, I had been losing traction.
Let’s do this!!!!
Happy Easter Sunday everyone!!!
I started using clear bins in the fridge to keep things from shifting as much. Loved watching Charlie thinking about getting in the truck haha. Safe travels!
Thank you. Blessings
Thank you for sharing the beauty of our country with us!
I always love the train parts in your videos. Thanks for all you do for all of us.
😍 New rig is so light and bright, love all the Windows. 👍
It’s time, let’s go..!!! Happy Easter, Spring KYD..!
Very cool that you are back on the road again… thanks for sharing!
Every time I get back on the road it doesn’t feel real till my first Loves stop that was just for gas and $40 later of junk food. I feel like I’m home again.
I can’t think of a nicer way to end a great Easter Sunday than to watch your fab travels. Safe travels and peace for us all!
Off to a really great start, and I can't wait to see where you take us this year. Safe travels and stay well.
My fridge doesn't come open but things still migrate in there. I've made it a game, I get one point if I can guess what's going to fall out when I open the door and two points if I can catch it before it hits the floor.
Had same issue so bought inexpensive Dollar Tree plastic rectangular baskets to store stuff & it all stays in place.
Use old school beanbags between foid items to prevent rolling around.
Happy Sunday KYD family! And happy Easter. He is Risen!!!
Another amazing video looking forward to next week
Great video! Looking forward to another season of exploring ❤
So excited for the new season!!!! My wife and I love you guys and your channel best on TH-cam.

I use tension bars as well and it works like a dream!
Love this channel! Excited about your new adventure 🙂

Excited to see you guys back on the road! Safe travels! - Mike and Shelley
We are so excited to see where you will go and who you will meet this season. 😃 It's been a joy to watch your children grow into wonderful adults! And as always Charlie melts our hearts. 💝 🥰 Thank you for sharing a little piece of your life & travels with us.
Just the kind of video I love from you guys. So fun to watch you set up a new rig!
7 minutes in & already 1 100 + views 😂. Because we love you guys ❤. Looking forward to the new season . 🎉
First off Happy Easter! So exciting seeing Charlie as want to give him a huge big hug. This season is going to be awesome and looking forward to it. Bentonville great place to stay. Love y'all and thanks.
If I had known y’all were going to be in Bentonville, we would have jumped in our Roadtrek Class B camper van and driven the 2.5 hours up there to see you! Every time we take a trip across the country, we are always looking for you guys! Safe travels!
Marc, you made me laugh out loud both times you mentioned the eggs. "No omelettes?" Best line ever in my books.
Safe travels!
Happy Easter to all.
You guys are the best!
ngl, I absolutely love the train footage!!! We grew up by trains so there is something comforting about them, not to mention the they're part of the backbone of our country!!
I love how much their love for eachother shines through, and pure happiness. ❤
Happy Easter Happy sunday
A week ago, on our way back home from our month-long escape from the Illinois weather, we drove on I-40 past that leaning Britten water tower and then also spent the night in our toy hauler at Elk City 😊 Welcome back on the road!
Winter makes EVERYTHING harder !!!
Rolling down the highway🛣️🚌 (*refrigerator intact 🤞🙏). Glad to see you two out of snowy terrain & onto low brow southern region! Charley was hesitant earlier but happy 'ok' now. More excited bliss of coming destination domains 🙌
Oh yeah - finding fresh water leaks. Always fun when we lived on our sailboats and had to turn into a 30 lb child to fit with 6' arms to reach & fix the leak. We have to do that neutral "jerk" to disconnect sometimes too.
Happy Easter! We too, just kicked off 2024 with our 3rd annual Easter camping trip. Went from NJ to MD
LOVE the old Tahoe pics. Made a collage for my mom of pics from my two uncles’ cabins they built in South Lake from the 50’s when she was a girl. It hangs in HER South Lake cabin she and my dad bought in the 90’s. All three places are still (very modest) old Tahoe family cabins. Fingers crossed they stay that way.
This was a great video. Usually you two are perfect, so it was fun to see you having the same challenges, issues and problems that most of us have on our journeys. And the music was great!
What memories you've stirred up. We've travelled I-40 so many times from Monterey Bay, CA going home to TX & family. Sometimes we dropped S at Santa Rosa, NM to head to Clovis & TX. Other times we'd go on to Amarillo for a family visit & then head S on I-27 thru Lubbock & on to DFW/Austin/Houston/San Antonio. What a trip. & to top it off we used to live in metro OKC. Know the OK portion of I-40 too + have made a few trips via 40 to the E Coast & up to New England. So am loving your travels as we no longer can RV while hubby's fighting stage 4 cancer & was just placed on dialysis. So thank you beyond words for sharing your wonderful adventures as you begin a new season.❤
Mark: we have a 30’ classic. Two help ideas that work well. The fridge did the same thing as yours. If you push up on the door (as you know), it locks in perfectly. I talked to the dealer in FL about it and they weren’t exactly good about it, but simply said to lift up and listen for the lock. It works.
Hitch: I keep a little pressure on the hitch release lever and lift up the truck and trailer until it releases (opens up). Then I can lower about an inch which allows the truck to rock a little (in park, not emergency brake), and it releases.
Lastly: your sway bars are putting too much tension in transferring the weight to the front of the truck. Is the trailer receiver 4:56 ball 19 1/2 inches from the ground? The owners manual will tell you the actual height it should be in the trailer side. Finally, I bought the weigh safe hitch which gives an actual tongue weight every time. Their app on your phone has a calculation as to how much weight you dial in for transfer. It’s perfect. I noticed you had everything in the front of the trailer when you left AZ. That probably added too much weight on your tongue weight and ergo, the battery cover issue.
Hope this has been helpful.
I bought the weigh safe 15k unit... love it for the built in scale. with the app... IMHO.. it's the closest most accurate way to go.! :)
The first few seconds,,,a thing of beauty 😃🚂
IYKYK
Y’all make me want to just pack up my life and family and hit the road. Love your channel.
Heh, I recognize that smile in the opening minutes when you discover you STILL have running water in cold weather!! I've worn it myself a couple of times these last couple of years in our old house, since we have had record low temps the last two years here in Texas. Get up first thing in the morning and test the faucets. That's a happy tear that runs down your cheek when it comes on!!
And the 'Name What The Fridge Has Thrown On The Floor' game was priceless!! It does need to get fixed, though, but you know that. 🙂
It’s the Empty Nester season. I love it!
This video was so deja vu for my wife and I. The first few days of the new KYD season largely follow the return leg of our big October 2023 road trip, even down to stopping for a night at the Elk City/Clinton KOA in western OK.
Love the new season! And Trish, I love you with no make up! You look fabulous!
Whenever we leave Scottsdale, USA RV Park in Gallup is normally our first overnight stop.
Happy Easter!
we always had to store our RV, but a few years ago our new house had space forRV. It is infinitely more enjoyable to have the RV on premises for cleaning, maintenance, loading, and unloading.
Our Furion fridge had trouble with door coming open while driving. I’m very sympathetic!
That wind out there can be no joke. I drove from UT to GA last week and it was windy on I-40 from AZ to TN. My forearms were so sore from the days of death gripping the steering wheel.
Love the Big Texan!
Spent a lot of time in Amarillo, my friend who lives there calls it the “armpit of Texas”🤷♀️😉
Love that you don’t push the speed! We don’t either with our TT!
Easter Blessings to you both!✝️
ps… I think Elk City has a good Route 66 museum. Our Rig & Truck had a brake issue, we were in the area for 5 days last Sept. made the best of it, and were blessed to have such a great couple of businesses to take care of us!
Mark,
This video, to us that RV, is soo relatable.
Little things, the dynamics of a start of new season, etc... all mundane details that we go through every year yet your video editing lead us to remember so many of our little experiences and how they are precious, thank you!
You are dead right about tire inflation.
When I started to inflate our Motorhome tires 10psi below max. Cold, it started to drive so much nicer ...
Thanks. Re: Tires. I was 10 below where I normally go. The load in this case was 35 below max. Seemed low, but the table showed that was still enough to cover the load.
Hi Trish-love your channel-re: frig, I use a big sheet of Reflectics inside the door so if batteries go low frig stays cold even overnight per the frig thermometer!
Hi Trish, in our fridge. We use plastic baskets to put everything in, and exstintion rods across the front to hold the baskets in place...
LOVE the train shots!
Happy Sunday everyone
🏆 You must have had that copied and ready to paste! Happy Sunday. Happy Easter.
No. I thought it didn’t take. WiFi in the corner of work where I am having my dinner is special
Happy Sunday to you as well.😊
Welcome to Bentonville, I live downtown. Going to be on the lookout for the airstream all week!
I was just out there a week ago bringing my new to me RV home from Phoenix. And yes there are a lot of trains 😊. I didn’t get to really enjoy much because I had to get home to Maine in 10 days because of my transit tags. Enjoy your ride.
So interesting watching your problem solving and settling in to your new rig - great video!
Great video. Love the train shots, I'm a huge train nut. Mark, you crack me up each time you have a new nickname for Trish, so funny.
safe travels
Loved your travels to Texas my son works on the train between Winslow and Belen NM.
Every time I see one I tell my wife there goes Nathan(our son) LOL!
I love your travels!
Makes us want to travel! Safe travels. Was in Arizona in March with the snow. Came home to MN and snow. This weekend to be around 60 degrees. Hopefully, our campground will open in a few weeks and possibly travel in June. Going to spend May to June at the campground to spend time fishing and family time with the family ( son, daughter in law and three grandchildren with youngest going to be about 2 months old). We got 2-4 years before retirement. Hopefully be in Seligman AZ Jan- April.
We had a similar Fridge door problem. We solved it by installing a "Child proof plastic latch" Un locks easily and re connects just as easy
We use 2” black “gaffer” tape when traveling. We started using it in Alaska last summer as a precaution. The tape is strong and leaves no residue!
To fasten fridge door I would put command hook on fridge door and on wall next to fridge and use a bungy.
Serenity now!!😀
I don't own a travel trailer, but I have owned a boat in the Seattle area for nearly 20 years. I don't winterize my sailboat, since I like to go sailing in the winter. While I get plenty of snow and ice on deck, my solution is a couple of oil filled heaters turned down low and a dehumidifier. I wouldn't run a diesel heater unattended for so long, but the electric heaters are great.
I put the shutoff valve at the faucet so I could control it easier, same fittings both ends. I hope you have a great season.
“My little truffle” 😂😂 I love the periodical name changes for Trish
I've learned that you should always carry a couple of command strip hooks. anything that won't stay open you can put the command strips on and wrap some para cord around them while you travel too keep things closed. Nice thing is they come off with no damage when you finally fix it. you just put them away and have some refill strips for the next time.
Good idea. Like WD40 and Duct Tape. "You don't have to get ready, if you stay ready!"
Those are awesome pics in Carson's room. LOL about the acorns!!
I love the music you play on the podcast. I’m Shazamming away.
On our travel days we place refrigerator tension bars in the refrigerator to keep the items in place so when you open the door they don't spill out and of course it keep them from opening the door during travel. Their like $15 online.
Hello again , I almost forgot about your " fridge door dilemma " . I have a Magic Chef 10.1 cubic foot. Had the same problem, watched an RV tech video on TH-cam and the guy used a screen door jamb bracket. Its ingenious because it fits perfectly betwixt the upper & lower doors. Then you use a metal / vinyl pin to pop into the hole of the face of the jamb where the original pin would go. Works seamlessly. I'm sorry , I don't have the link. But search it on TH-cam. Good luck .
Good morning from Northern Nevada, for now. We just joined the community, and soon we'll hit the road for good with a '24 F350 dually and Cirrus 920 camper, also '24. We're putting out house up for sale to pay for all of this, and not looking back.
Thank you Marc for the video on the Superduty you posted. This being out first truck, it was very helpful. We'll have a lot to learn and share.
Cheers.
Allan and Kelly.
Love the daily Sunday videos. I know exactly where that train intro is located. Haha safe travels
Ok Marc, now I don't feel so bad! I got rid of my torsion bars on our 29ft trailer because I thought maybe we did not need them. So far ,So Good. Maybe because we are towing with a 3/4 ton 4dr truck, the tail dosen't ''wag the dog''! We don't miss the bars at all, and I feel better about much less strain on the trailer frame! Glad to see it worked for you!
ProTip on the coupler on that Airstream. Flip the black release handle down BEFORE dropping it on the ball of the truck. You will see it rise, then positively “snap” into place when it locks. If it does not snap back down, put the truck in gear and give it a quick “forward tug” and it will click. I’ve had that typed of coupler on my Featherlite race car trailer for more than a decade and like how easy it is.
keep the clips coming
