ℹ️ About the episode:
We didn't expect to be back on Mackinac Island so soon, but when our friends and their family invited us to tag along, we couldn't say no. Having been there once already, we were ready to just relax and enjoy the island compared to seeing everything we could like our first visit. Yet, we were still able to share some new things to see with fewer crowds. Once we took the ferry back it was time to drop Carson off at school, install the hitch handles and drop the Airstream off at service. The big question is how does RV Life compare to Hotels and we think the answer is pretty obvious in this video. Yet, the hotels on Mackinac Island are very nice, but they don't compare to having all your own things and traveling at your own pace. We love RV Life.

Trish, I wouldn't leave hubby alone for a long period, cause when you get back there could be a 2021 Bronco sitting next too the Airstream.
That would be the case but unfortunately for Marc, the broncos are not actually being delivered to their owners until next summer.
@@learnitfromwilliam also the bronco couldn't come close to pulling the airstream that little cloud at the dealer is more it's speed
@@jerkyturkey007 I know it can't tow and I'm sure Marc knows that. It would be his play vehicle when they are at their homebase.
For the last 20 years of my work, I travelled every week. I felt I lived in hotels. Nice hotels, but still need to check in, lug your bags or get the bellhop. I can't tell you how many times I woke up and didn't remember what city I was in or why. Usually a look out the window cured that. I had a huge fear I'd wander out into the hallway thinking I was entering the bathroom. Thus the RV. My clothes in the locker, my food in the fridge, the same bed every night. Wonderful.
I have been binge-watching you all for the past 4 days, and I enjoyed every episode, every season, and every comedic quote! As a military veteran I am nearing retiring, and you have convinced me to venture out into RV life! There are so many choices in RV's as I was totally blown away, but I think I settled in purchasing a toy hauler. I look forward to the next episode!
I love the little clips of the funny things that happen. Carson's reaction when that car came speeding by was fantastic 🤣
My wife finally got her Ebike and we did a 40 mile ride today. So much fun! Great addition to the RV.
Nice ! What bike did you go with ?
@@kimf1877 I have the RadCity and my wife has the RadRunner. My brother works for them.
Ebikes are so much fun whether you have a throttle (AKA motorcycle) or if you have a pedalec (you have pedal to get any assistance). I recommend the latter because you get some amazing exercise, no longer worry about hills and can cover dozens of miles quickly as needed. They are amazing scout vehicles for larger rigs.
@@geraldhenrickson7472 mine has both
@@noconz0727 mine too and I love it
You guys have been such a big inspiration to me and my wife starting this journey ourselves. Unfortunately she passed suddenly on Wed. She was 39. We where just 3 weeks away from hitting the road. I can't think of a better way to celebrate her life than to continue this journey with our pups. It was both of our dream after all. And we worked to hard to get this far, it would feel like a waste! Thanks again for all the inspiration and helpful info! Its a bit scary to think of going it alone, but I like to think of it as an opportunity to write a beautiful ending to this tragedy!
Scene Sprout How dreadful for you! May your travels bring solace and adventures.
Dee Ann Redman Thank you! Itll be rough but I like to think of this as a chance to write a beautiful ending to this tragedy.
Trish’s packing out of the hotel get up: mask, sunglasses, hat, like five pack packs! 🤪. She reminds me of those Spy vs. Spy characters in that Mad magazine! 🤣
I was hearing the song, "
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?"
It was a pleasure to meet you Marc & Trish! Thanks for your visit to Woodland Airstream. Safe travels and Live Riveted!!
You too! It was a fun visit :)
We were just up at Mackinaw a week ago. Mark & Trish. Next year if your in Michigan stay at Mackinaw Mill Creek campground. The views from that Campground will not disappoint!!
That’s where we stayed for a week!
Used it as a base camp to go to soo locks, Taquamenon falls and White fish point light house. My family and I love your channel. It’s in our opinion better than most tv shows!
The fun you guys had with each other...family and friends emanated through the video. Very funny and heartwarming.
I agree!! They are an awesome family!
I had the same issue with my 2.5" receiver and the 2" reducer sleeve on my 2019 F250. I ended up inserting plastic shims (purchased from Home Depot for a previous DIY project.... 1 on top near the opening of the receiver and 1 on the bottom rear...next to spare tire) and trimmed to length. This solved the wobble. I thought plastic shims would work better than wood, since there would be very little compression. I have not noticed any side-to-side wobble. So problem solved for now.
Relaxing having a beer enjoying a beer watching my favorite rv couple!!!
We vastly prefer our rv over a hotel
My biggest reason for loving travel in a RV is my wife and daughter do not use public restrooms while we are in route!
Our RV is our Mobil condo!
As for the play in receiver hitch collar, try wrapping the collar with a bit of duck tape. It will not take much and it beats trying to cut up an aluminum can to shim...
Great episode as always! Interesting how something like a change in how we love such as the hotel vs RV can make such a big difference in our patience and anxieties.
Being a traveler by trade, none of the switch overs bother me much. But that said, I would much rather be in my RV than in a hotel. There’s something to be said for being in your own space when I’m other locations.
We just returned from our annual trip to Mackinac Island. One tip for your next visit: pick up a picnic at Dowd's and head up to Fort Holmes for lunch. Highest point of the island. Amazing views! Then ride out to British Landing on your way down. Very little peddling!
Thanks for these videos! My husband and I are starting our empty nester adventures and they are very helpful!
We just started full time RVing last week! Hubs is retired and we hit the road! Ya'll are such an inspiration... Always enjoy your videos - keep on having fun! xo
Man, Caleb is hilarious. He keeps me in stitches. Thanks for sharing Mackinac island with us. It is a beautiful place. Love the weekly videos guys.
OMG Hitch Handles !!! Ingenious 🤔🤔
I just leave it on all the time. Why remove it unless you're off-roading and need the clearance?
The island is so beautiful and I remember all the fun you guys had last time. The hitch handles are amazing, such a great idea and hopefully making life easier. You guys are so good at getting the kiddo's where they need to be. Hope all repairs go well for Platinum Ginger, looking forward to next week's video! Hugs, Brenda
Having grown up in Michigan and spending most of that time in Northern Michigan, these videos really make me miss home! I have been in Arizona for 20 years now but Michigan will always have my heart. Enjoy the high five state!
Always enjoy your vids. While in Michigan you need to come to the South East side (Ann Arbor, or more correct Ypsilanti) and visit the Ford Rouge Plant where the F-150's are made. We would love to meet you there.
Oh yeah!!! KYD... I am hooked!!! Hello YALL FROM TEXAS!!!
The constant in and out of hotels was a LARGE part of why I wanted an RV in the first place! Hubby was suggesting we could drive a lot in a car and stay at some pretty nice hotels for the amount we'd save by not buying an RV. Just not worth lugging everything in and out at every stop!
Sweet We just got back from the island today, stayed at the Harbour view inn. Yes, bring the bikes, so amazing.. Love it.
Famous last words "hey there's grease on that ball" 😂! That sounds exactly like my last SW flight, except it was during the whole flight from DEN to DAL. And Marc, was that the baggie containing the steak 🥩 in the door pocket on Trish's side when Trish & Caleb were getting dropped off at the airport? I hope you remembered it 😂 Awesome video once again guys!
Get the measurements for a J pin stabilizer drill a hole in your hitch and use the j-pin it will compress or put pressure all to one side of your sleeve and hold it in place. And it will stop the movement you can also use this J-Pin On your hitch for your camper or sway controls so you don’t get a lot of movement either
We went to Stanley, ID and Island Park, Idaho for a couple weeks and those base camp units were EVERYWHERE. They were towed by everything you could imagine.They look like great little units.
If you haven’t gone to a Traverse City yet, make sure to take the tour at the old State Hospital grounds. They are now converted into shops and restaurants, but the history is fascinating. Your don’t know me, but trust me, it is worth the diversion! One of the best hidden treasures in Traverse City.
Nancy Bonczyk we went and it was verydisappointing. Not many shops.
I wonder if COVID did some of them in? I haven’t been there in a year or so.
Hi guys, I just found your channel, by YT suggestion. It looks like you're a fun, happy family and I'll be watching more videos. Be safe and stay happy~
Loved this episode! Home state and some favorite locations but now can't wait to revisit. By the way, love your music!
WRT the hitch reducer sleeve, I drilled a hole in the bottom of the hitch and installed a set screw. No more loose sleeve and rattle.
Hi just found your channel today and binge watched all day . You guys are awesome. We just bought our first ever class C . 2021 freedom elite . We have done 2 trips so far . Missed this weekend due to getting sick . Watching you guys I have learned a lot . Going keep watching all the videos
this video makes me miss home so much!! I'm from Traverse City, didn't make it back for the summer... and I'm terribly homesick... thanks for the memories this brought up though... used to go to the Island almost every year when my husband was alive.
Once again great video and travel tips. We just left Mill Creek RV Resort in Mackinaw City, over 200 acres of RV space on the shores of Lake Huron. Our favorite summer getaway is Macinac Island and the shores of Michigan. Safe travels!!!
Ahhh such good tatse!
This island literally was my home for several years, pre-married life.
The Inn at Stonecliffe.....we were married on that porch, " the portico" Late Oct 2005 and NO SNOW! lol it was actually 66 degrees and dry and lovely wedding. I called our for y wife and I said "Julie! Run! lol" she came into my office, where I watch your videos, and she said "Ohhhh our wedding place!!!" we are taking our three boys up there in two weeks from today.
Want to show them where Mom & Dad were married 15 years ago this Oct. Soooo thankful to you, that of your tons of locations to sit and chill and chat, was there!. Spent an entire winter as well, Snowmobile Heaven!!!
Did you know? The school is K-12 and has roughly 75-100 students total! Graduating classes can be anywhere from 1-14 kids! lol
Our fav restaurant (not owned by the Grand) is The Yankee Rebel and coffee at the Coffee Beanery, now called Watercolor Beanery.... down on the water, directly in front of your hotel, Island House ( I know the GM there too....) GREAT VIDEO!!!
I love the fun and positive aspects of your videos. You definitely portray your wealth from what you drive to how you live. So many rv people have less so you are at least able to give them something to look up to.
Mark, for those handles for your trailer hitch, look up how to “re-grip” your gulf clubs. The double stick tape will hold really well if done right. Thank you for all of the AWESOME content guys!
When Trish is getting all the bags ready to leave the Motel she totally reminded me of troops on deployment getting ready to go pretty much anywhere. Massive bags on your front and back as well as both arms and hands full of gear. Good times.
Heck yeah! you guys in my backyard again... I just took my girls to the Island last month. Summertime destination == can NOT be beaten!
We have to thank you KYD for your Mackinaw Island recommendation last year. We visited Mackinaw for the first time this year and loved it. We stayed overnight on the island for two nights as you recommended. Very cool to see the island after all the day trippers leave for the day. We left the camper at Mackinaw Mill Creek Campground. Thank you KYD. Still looking for an idea for 2021.
Mackinac Island is one of my favorite places on earth. I wanted to go to the Lilac Festival this year, but the pandemic hit.😥 I love the Airstream Base Camp. It’s a favorite.✨ I hope the service center works well for you.✨
It’s so fun watching you guys explore the beautiful state I call home! If you guys are coming down to southeastern Michigan, I definitely recommend checking out The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village - you guys really seem to enjoy history (or at least it looked like it in some of your previous videos) and this place is amazing!
When we upgraded from an F150 to our 250 we tried our old dropout but were never happy with the spacer. We finally swapped our ball mount onto a 2.5" drop (using the original ball mount) and it has been wonderful! It took a good bit of research to find the exact drop we needed and still be able to open the tailgate, but finally got if from eTrailer. Just getting rid of the little bit of slop has made towing our AS much more stable ( I should know since I do all the driving with the trailer! LOL). Safe travels!
Sitting, watching the world go by is an awesome vacation.
Drill and tap, put a short bolt or set screw in, I personally haven’t had good luck with shims.
We just love following you and your family.
Thanks so muce for making Sunday night so special.
We hope to meet you sometime after the Canada-US borders are open.

Happy Michigan living KYD! While driving our Black F450 limited pulling our new Momentum 397TH to northern MI on Saturday (9/5) a little north of Cadillac, MI we felt like we saw 👀a truck and rig (with bikes on the back and everything!) just like yours! The driver blinked their headlights at us as we passed. We have so appreciated learning about our new rig via your journeys. Thank you!
Whether it was you or not - it is a great memory made during our “shake down” maiden voyage with this rig. Dreamin’ Big!
unrelated to this video: discovered your KYD Summer to Remember '20 clothing from your earlier video only just recently. ordered a hoodie and it arrived in just a few days. wrote a glowing review to Bonfire email. Super high quality screen print, vibrant colors, and mega soft Champion product. Thank you and keep up the good work!
So excited to find your videos! I worked at Mission Point in Convention Services in 1991. Stayed at Stonecliffe Inn this summer. So this was my favorite video so far!
If you want to observe your hitch from your driver's seat while driving forward, on Sync you can set the backup camera to delay off. With this enabled, shift to reverse, then you can shift to drive and drive forward under 5MPH and your backup camera stays on. I use this when I've unhooked the trailer and I'm about to pull my truck forward. Simply put the truck in reverse to activate the camera, then shift to drive and slowly pull forward while the camera remains activated.
Whooo hoooooo, favorite day of the week!! Marc there is a "hitch tightener" that is sold online. It's basically a u bolt and a piece of flat metal that puts tension on the hitch to make it stable.
I use it when towing my 20' cargo conversion. Nice and tight, no slop, no noise!
Hello! Happy Sunday! Happy Labor Day weekend!! I moved my baby to CalPoly SLO .... so it’s bitter sweet but Pisano was beautiful!
Anyone else think that Marc's "life clock" goes down by 3 minutes every time he mentions the word "Bronco" to Trish? I totally agree that when it comes to Hotels vs RV, these days I'll take an RV for the comfort and peace of mind of having your own "stuff" available to use as you wish.......Thanks for the Video as always!
117 degrees right now in SoCal. Thanks for letting us pretend we are on vacation in Michigan for a little while.
111 in the SF Bay area (118 in the Northbay), no air conditioning, and the air quality is rated moderate to unhealthy, and all in the middle of a viral pandemic: joy.
This is my home state and if you never been to Mackinac Island it will not disappoint you. I love going there because it's soooo beautiful up there. Enjoy!!!
I felt like I watched this whole episode without blinking. Yes, the location was great, but the execution was flawless! Very well done!
Regarding your receiver hitch handles:
Perhaps wrap electrical tape on the all thread to help keep the grips on the all thread. Make sure it is a tight fit.
When installing the grips:
Hair spray liberally applied to the inside of the grips.
Shove the grips on quickly, twisting cw/ccw. After the grips are installed, the hair spray will evaporate and leave the grips very well secured. This is done in the cycling world routinely to add grips to handlebars.
Love and agree with the trash-bag logic... although, I upscale it to those Costco reusable shopping bags for extra clothes. A couple of them hold a lot a lot of clothes, when you unpack, the bags fold flat & store in the hotel (or RV) drawers & are always available for packing a picnic or day-trip and even for... wait for it... shopping.
Buy a 2.5" shank the Blue Ox BXW4028 SwayPro Receiver Hitch Mount 2.5 and a Blue Ox BX88225 or Trimax THC250 Universal Anti-Rattle Clamp Fits 2-1/2" the trimax works with our rock tamers. No more rattles and my rock tamers don't wobble, We have a 2015 Ford F-350 and an 2018 Airstream Classic 30RBTwin. We have been on the road for just over a year and loving it. Love your channel you guys are one of the reason we sold everything and went full time. My wife and I work from the road and it's great!
If your friend hike to the lake on Mt. Moran, became a member of Polar Bear Club with a warm fire to dry from the plunge his ashes would be spread up there looking down on all who wonder what’s at the top of mountains. (Tetons)
For the hitch so it does not wobble. Softride Quiet Ride Locking Tightening Hitch Pin. Got it off amazon, it’s basically a hitch pin with threads and a nut that you wedge into the receiver tube.
Yes...love this location! Also this destination is on my bucket list.
So excited you are coming to Charlevoix! I've been watching you guys from day one. I'm usually in VT but here to renovated my parents carriage house on Petoskey Ave. My husband and I are moving into it when he retires and RVing in the winter. You have to get smoked fish from Kelly at Cross Fish. The smoke fish dip is super yummy🙂
For the loose hitch, I use cheap spark plugs blades that you can easily fit into the gap and twist to make it nice.
We spent a weekend at Mission Point a few years ago. Magical!🖐❤
I saw the problem with the bike rack being a little bit loose in the hitch. Just a suggestion, what if you wrapped the part that is loose with black rubberized shelf covering that we use to keep things from moving around in our RV. Don't know if this will work, but I was thinking about it. Linda
Mark, I have a tip to keep those bike handles in place. Spray hair spray on the allthread before you put the handles on. Its an old mountain biker trick.
Use metal tie wire for the grips like how dirt bike rides do when the grip glue isn't doing it. Simply loop it around and use linesmen plyers to twist tighten/snip.
Great video, we are 2 weeks away from picking up out International 30 at Woodland we were trying to see if we could see it in your video, thanks you for all you do.
Love Mackinac Island. Been so many times, growing up in Michigan. You guys are making me homesick!
Glad you guys are having fun, you all seem well suited for this life style, how long do you think you will continue?
I like seeing this great country, did a fair amount on two wheels, get recharged and than home sweet home.
I retired from the Army after 21 years. and then another 20 years with the state police, While working for the state police i bought a small 30 acre pine farm, have lived here for about 30 years. So for the past 30 years i have really enjoyed the privacy and quiet and doing everything from golf, to shooting, hiking and running the trails that I've cut thru the farm.
The UA-cam video's I've seen show that many of the popular camp ground look like Trailer Parks, i couldn't deal very well with that.
So that is a big negative for me, couldn't give this up for that, i don't mind meeting new people but i really don't want to bunk next to them, it just seems too close. I'm probably very spoiled from being out here in the country with only cows and horses for neighbors, i don't think this would be a good fit for me, maybe 30 years ago, lol. Unbelievable to me we got FIOS last year, 1 Gig service, off the grid but on the grid.
Boon dogging (sp)? would probably be better fit, but I've spent many a night in lean two's, pup tents, no tents and having to make my supplies last so I'm not really up for that either, i think the true RV life passed me by.
Anyway your video's as well as other's that i have watched have been informative and interesting and i know you provide a great service to those contemplating RVing, and those that are currently living the life.
All the best, you have a nice family, and i know experiencing the Grand Canyon is better than reading about it, hope all continues to go well.
God Bless.
Safe travels.
Enjoyed this as such a lovely place and the outdoor adventure. Hotels don't come with kitchens to raid during the night. Thanks and look forward to next Sunday.
I had the wobbling issue with the same Kuat bike rack on my F250. Got a u-bolt designed for that. It is similar to a u-bolt that you can buy at a hardware store but heavier duty and works well. Got it at a local trailer and hitch store and they were familiar with the issue with the inner sleeve. Make sure it is large enough to go over the larger hitch. I take my bikes between Texas and New Mexico and it works great.
Use plastic wedges and 3m two sided tape on that hitch to make it fit tight. I used plastic wedges from homedepot that I used to install floating floors to space off the wall. Seems to work well. But I do think they make rubber wedges for that.
New subscriber here. Love your channel. We own a class A diesel pusher, and yes; what you tow can make all the difference what you can carry when you leave the rig. Ideally we’d flat tow a 4x4 pickup truck, but our current flat tow vehicle is a Jeep Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel 4x4. It works well for us, especially because with its air suspension we can lower the vehicle so our 74 lbs rescue dog can more easily board the Jeep.
I love Mackinaw! A friend of our family inherited a very old house up there (one of the original houses on the island) and we used to go there for 1-2 nights every summer. I always rented a horse at Cindy’s riding stable every time. We even watched fireworks and big ship’s going thru from the porch at the fort for Michigan’s Birthday almost 30 years ago. That was awesome.
I could see Charlie's face and he's thinking yeah Dad stand in line at TJ's so I can get to that steak in a bag, Yumm
We are fortunate to live only 17 miles south of the bridge. This year alot less people on the island. Love the Grand Hotel. Expensive, but love the high tea and dinner.
Thanks for the shout out, Marc. Hope my simple handle idea works out for you!!
Glad I caught this. Yes, we love it. They are staying. I just need a little silicon so the grips stay on when traveling. Thanks again Tim!
Another great episode!
Seems like someone was missing, though.
Super location, that Mackinac Island.
I knew it looked familiar, from that Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour movie “Somewhere In Time”.
A two week summer trip with the wife, staying in so many different uncomfortable hotel rooms, convinced us to get our first RV.
Friends have told me that all the expense and bother of an RV is not worth it.
I figure that having your own space, your own bathroom and kitchen, with the ability to cook your own meals, is worth the expense and bother.
Keep On Truckin’
You can add set screws to your hitch that will stabilize the sleeve. Abom Adventures (machinist with Abom79 channel) has some videos adding a bike rack to the back of his camper that include his process for adding the set screws.
Hope Carson has a great year at school! Someday we may be able to travel to the US again... and then Mackinaw Island will be on the list.
So sorry you guys won’t be able to make it to Nova Scotia this year due to Covid. Please come back next year🤗❤️🇨🇦
“We’re just sharing it with you...” just me and your 337,000 closest friends... 🤣🤓🤣
Can't wait to travel and have good times like you all. I'm just like "wow people do this." Very chill times looks like
We couldn't agree more with you on the RV to hotel comparison. In my corporate career I spent literally thousands of nights in hotels and nothing on this earth makes me feel like I've gotten so little for my money than staying in a hotel. I would often arrive mid to late evening, maybe grab a bite to eat and then go to bed, only to be on the road early the next morning. Spending $90 to $125 just to sleep in a bed always seemed like such a rip off. I rarely found a hotel bed as comfortable as the ones we've put in our campers. My hotel room horror stories are far worse than my RV horror stories. Our first year of retirement travel we drove coast to coast through 16 states visiting 8 National Parks and seeing friends and families along the way. We drove an efficient Honda Accord but spent nights in hotels and ate in restaurants. It cost us about $6500. We made a very similar trip in our first travel trailer a year later for less than half that :-)
We’re definitely going back here when our kids are older and post-COVID. We were concerned about the bike situation for our little guy!
that sunset point was so good! thank you for sharing!
What I like about the new Airstream BaseCamp X 20 is you could keep the back in bed mode & still have the fount area for sitting inside when the weather is bad out Maybe a Ford Bronco 4 door could tow it or new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4XE
Thanks for bringing back memories. I have been there a number of times over the last 50 years. I have stayed overnight a couple times also. And you’re right, it is a wonderful experience to be there after the tour boats are gone. Do you know if electric bikes are allowed on the island? Thanks for your wonderful videos.
This is a bucket list location now for my boyfriend and I because of you guys 😂
Same here haha
You will not be disappointed when you come to Michigan. I live in Michigan and I love to go to Mackinac Island!!! It is soooo beautiful up there.
I look forward to Sunday’s video and then……way too quickly……it’s over!
I’m headed out tomorrow to spend a week camping at Fort Wilderness in Disney World. I’ll be happy to pet one of the horses or shop at the Trading Post for you. 🤣😂
Another excellent video. Thank you.
This is so crazy! We are behind you by about a week. We were in Silver Lake- Mears and now this week in Mackinac and next on to Pictured Rock. Love you guys and follow your channel!
My favorite family to watch 24/7..lol. Love two of you, and your kids. What can I say? I'm going to buy travel trailer and travel after watching you guys. Don't know how soon it's going to happen but believe in a year it will...
Love the handle for the hitch...heading to the garage to build one for my trailer. Thanks
Take your hitch sleeve to a weld shop. Have them weld a few beads on the sides that need it and
just grind them down to the fit that you would like. 🤔
Hubby went to/worked at Fishburne (oldest military school in country, I believe). We called the trash bags he cadets “Fishburne luggage”. 😂😂
Another fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. Be safe out there.
My son and I always carry a small pocket knife. They come in handy. But having to give one up to fly has happened and fortunately the airport saved it to be picked up on the return trip.
