ℹ️ About the Episode:
For those that have yet to hit the road or haven't traveled too far from home, a big fear is what happens when you break down or your truck needs service. The short answer is, you'll figure it out. That answer might sound cavalier, but it's true. We've had work done on our truck and RV all over the United States, plus Mexico and Canada on multiple occasions. Everywhere we travel, we come across friendly people who are happy to help. In this episode, we pack up at the home of KYD Insiders Michale and Amanda and make our way to Cape Breton to visit the Cabot Trail. It's obvious that driving the Cabot Trail is one of the main reasons RVers travel to Nova Scotia. This drive will leave a lasting impression, as the views out your front windshield are stunning.

Never change just one battery always change both batteries you will immediately have problems with the one you don't change.
Never!
X3
Yep. Change both. 😅
Always change both! At least in the RAMS so they say!
They only had one. I shouldn’t have included that in the edit.
Never ever change just 1 battery in a diesel. Always change both.
They day we did the Skyline trail it was all fog out, Within 1 hour it was clear and what an amazing view.
Great to see Caleb in good form on the bike and attacking on the climbs! Proud dad moments, while gasping for air of course.
Changing one battery is like only putting brakes on one wheel. Both batteries are installed at the same time, used at the same time and therefore changed at one time, it only makes sense to do it this way.
And… the new battery will age prematurely being taxed by the weaker battery
Wait, what? That makes no sense whatsoever. On many rigs the batteries are NOT used equally so just date the battery and watch for a performance drop...which can take many years,
Okay ..... new rule:
Your videos have to be.....have to be.....at least 45 minutes long with at least the same GREAT/OUTSTANDING value as this one.
Thank you for all your efforts....they are considerable !
Absolutely Agree 😊
Start your own channel and let them enjoy some fun time without that responsibility! Quit being greedy!
I never notice how much dreary days effect me until the sun shows up again. All of the sudden I get smiley and have spring in my step. Hooray for sunshine!
Your adventures in NS have been beautiful regardless. As always, thank you for excellent content!
Love you guys! Have been watching since (near) the beginning. A lot of life has changed since then but you guys are always a source of joy and smiles. I’m grateful for your presence in the world! 🙏
You always change both batteries at the same time . If you don’t the new battery will be the same as your old battery.
JJ here-long time enthusiast of KYD: recently had the P038 dreaded alarm on my 6.7(F350)-i'd gone thru same thing with the F250 couple years ago. Saw on another thread one Ford guy had some simiar issues, and some of the STRANGE things he listed due to battery. All that to say i hadn't seen any delay in starting but had battery checked by someone i trust--he showed me readings-both batteries low. New batteries installed-the P038 cleared and the GPS SYNCH(i assumed was going out)is nowworking. Another Ford 'tech' said "you'd be suprised what low VOLTs can do to a truck system. Just wanted to alert you.
Awesome!! We are a couple of days behind you. In New Hampshire. You continue to inspire us! My husband who has Parkinson’s disease and we refuse to succumb to the disease! You inspire us to continue! We have watched you since the beginning of your UA-cam start. Thank you for inspiring us to continue. We Keep Our Daydreams every day because for you. BTW we live in Tampa. Would love to meet you when you return home!
It is good to see this positive attitude. I was recently diagnosed with Myotonic Dystrophy. While different, they are both progressive. I am not going to roll over!
I have been to Cape Breton Island a number of times for work and again with my wife and oldest son with the camper. Spectacular place.
The people are the best. My coworker stayed over Christmas on his own while we all went home. After Christmas he informed us he got broken into and found a Christmas tree with presents under it. Multiple invites for Christmas dinner. Awesome!
That’s Cape Breton for you!
glad the battery solved all the glitches! That was so much better than when the black truck broke down!
Youth is wasted on the youth. You got this Mark.
Sidenote, multiple Jeopardy contestants use kids non-fiction books to study for the show because they give such succinct information!
Not sure where you are now. Stay safe with all the flooding in Nova Scotia, our thoughts are with everyone affected.
FYI - Always replace both batteries at the same time,,,
The Milk also tends to take out any offensive flavors in fish and seafood. I have done it with Bullheads, as well as Largemouth Bass, as they can have an extra fishy flavor. just grab a carton of milk, open the top take some milk out, and drop fish in, and freeze the entire container.
Katniss about to jump out of that forest with her bow and arrow! haha! great video as always
One way, two way, three way, it sounds like you may have a "no way" ...😊
We had a terrible June and most of July, hope you got some sunshine. It's not usually like this.
We’re back in Nova Scotia yesterday after getting chased out by Hurricane Fiona last Fall and headed to Cape Breton. Thanks for the preview and driving direction tip. We’re so excited!
It amazes me, when our sons enjoy the same past times we do, then work hard to outdo us. The saving grace to this is when they realize that you tought them how to do it, and when you were their age, you would have beaten their socks off.
1st time viewer. Saw all the places Ive been to18 yrs ago! Sooo nice to view this! Great video work. You and your wife mesh abd work well together! Love that!!!
The battery acid can be easily cleaned off with simple baking soda and a tooth brush and/or wire brush on your terminal connections. Just rinse it off with water once you have scrubbed it down. You may have only have had a bad connection due to the corrosion and your batteries are fine. If they are actually bad, I would have replaced both at the same time so your new battery is overworking itself.
Always replace both batteries because the one you replaced has already effected the other one so it won't be long g before it goes. Beautiful places that ya'll are going through. Thank you for sharing
Love the Cabot Trail we've done it twice both times in stunning weather! Cape Breton is breathtaking! I'm debating moving from Ontario to Nova Scotia I am always going back.
I come from Maine. I heard, years ago from a lobsterman from Harpswell, if you must freeze lobster it has to be in whole milk! The ice crystals from anything lesser will get into the meat and make it mushy. Like freezing strawberries, they are never the same. This is the reason Red Lobster didn’t make it in Maine.. Frozen lobster isn’t the same at all
Health and Maintenance on the road is super challenging - you make it looking like a dip - lol Judy & Steph aka Rebel
I did the Cabot Trail a few weeks before you - stayed at the Cheticamp campground and did the Skyline trail. As always, you did a great job capturing the whole essence of “the Cabot Trail”. It’s a stunning place. LOVED this video.
The Canadian maritimes are amazing. The people of Nova Scotia are the best.
I did the Cabot trail also in July - the Skyline trail was one of the prettiest trails I’ve ever been on, as were the other trails along it. I hit some fog and drizzle but the only rain was coming south from Cape Breton on July 22 - the day Halifax said it got 3 months of rain in one day and cars were floating away….so I diverted to Antigonish. Never driven in such hard rain - a little scary. My “hydroplaning” warning light came on - that’s when I pulled over early to a motel.
One thing I've always done since I started driving is I put a little grease around the battery post before I put the terminal back on. When I do this, I've never seen the acid build up on the battery. Looks so peaceful with the fog. I would want a bench to enjoy a coffee.
Marc and Trish - I think you would love driving in Ontario from Sault Ste Marie to Thunder Bay - the views are just as spectacular or even better than the Cabot Trail. Another trip idea for the future.
@ 9:59 -- Trish : Notes the Black Flies and suggests bringing a light jacket with long sleeves. "I don't have a long sleeve but a little long sleeve might be helpful..." while having a long sleeved fleece tied around her waist. That's so natural and relatable.
Battery acid has a tendency to contaminate the surrounding area where it is installed. I always get a little Dawn dish soap and water and a paint brush to clean and rinse around and under the area where the battery is installed. Clean the six sides of the battery also. This reduces the build up of crud on the terminals.( Remove the plastic tray if there is one. ) About once a year. Or when the battery is out for replacement.
Yep same thing happened in my jeep- change both batteries at once. Safe travels!!
Yes without a doubt change them both!!!!
We watched this last night after we finished hiking the Skyline Trail for my husbands birthday 😊
A good way to clean that battery acid is to use hot water and baking soda. Keep those terminals clean.
When changing a bettery always fully remove the negative terminal from the battery before you touch the positive terminal. That way if you connect the positive terminal to ground using your wrench, it will not create a welding spark. When installing a new battery positive terminal first, then the negative. Be safe...... Also wear safety glasses and clothes that you do not care about. Batteries can blow up. I am lucky to live through a battery arc fault event.. there is hydrogen, acid, noise, and scrapenel when a battery explodes.
When I start my F350 the dash tells me all those things, also that my taxes are due, I have a dental appointment and I should call my mother.
Love your video! Fun fact, I live on the Cabot trail! My whole life (38) and I adore your family's take on the trail!
Ps, I'm from Ingonish Beach! Hope you all took the time to stop in there!! Stay safe!!
If you have 2 Batteries wired in Parallel , You need to replace Both Batteries at the same time. Replacing only 1 battery can cause a discharge in the battery that has more capacity to drain power into the battery that has less capacity. (Peukert Law) Always a good idea to have both batteries the same brand and fairly close production date.(Modern Automotive Modules hate low voltages or strange current spikes) Good Luck.
Mazing view on Sky line trail. I was there 2009, saw 3 moose and a black beer.
Long time subscriber. I cycled the trail 06/23 - 06/26. Just missed you. Had awesome weather
Now I am weeping you're going to P.E.I. ! I want to be there lol. So you have to go into New Brunswick to take the bridge in. Loving this season. Seeing as this year I stayed home to do things I can enjoy it vicariously thru you. :)
I hope someone told you to stop in at the Dancing Goat in Margaree 😊 I'm a little surprised the Gypsum Mine in Cheticamp didn't make an appearance.
I’ve had issues with same truck that were battery related. Tried changing just 1 battery. Worked for short time and then had issues shortly after. I learned… always - always change both batteries.
Wow, I walked out to start the Ol Gray Mule (RAM 3500 diesel) thursday morning and .......the dreaded click. Nothing, just click. Well 92,000 miles and original batteries, guess I knew it was time. So oil change and TWO (NOT one at a time Mark!) of the BEST batteries later and a mere $675 and the Mule roars to life! And were ready for Our Summer to Remember 2023! Gotta love that Caleb he's a hoot and a monster on the bike! I remember when I was his age and riding from the Naval Station in Pensacola to the Beach and back every day about 17 miles each way! You guys Rock! And Momma loves the cookbook!
Just FYI… glad the truck is running well and here’s what my Ford guy told told me… always try to use some kind of diesel fuel treatment and always turn on the ignition before starting the engine. (Hit the button no brake, after 5-10 seconds (when all the dings have stopped) hold the brake and hit start). It’ll prime the system with fuel and oil which reduces wear and tear and helps prevent common issues with Super Duty fuel pumps. Also, I’d rub some dielectric grease on those battery contacts and terminals!
Thanks for the scenery. Sweet location.
Mix one part Big Sur two parts lake Tahoe and mix in the Smoky Mountains = Cabot Trail and Nova Scotia. Thank you for the beautiful views.
Great video. Thank you. Blessings
Happy Sunday everyone! Love yall 3000!
Loved The Cabot Trail...breathe taking views...thanks for sharing
Trish....you had me at Al Fredo! Marc.....how do you compete with that? You don't. You can't. Mark Twain nailed it when he said "youth is wasted on the young".
OK, I realize I'm a day late and a million-billion-gazzillion comments later, May I suggest that the ending scene of this video could be called, "Into The Mist".
It's quite lovely, but for sunbirds I understand that it might be a bit daunting.
And Rue's little trill was a bonus. Thank you.
Thank y’all for the great Sunday video! Enjoyed it immensely! Be safe at in Iowa ❤
This Canadian series is inspiring and beautiful!
511 Nova Scotia will give pretty good weather reports. Each providence has a 511 some are better than others. You should swap both of the batteries, the old one will drain the new one done, lowest common denominator.
Never been to Nova Scotia, so this has been a lot of fun to watch. Beautiful scenery and amazing video work (as always)!
Great video, thank you for sharing and the positive attitude.
amazing job showing off Canada 🇨🇦! Safe travels!
GREAT country! have a blessed week!
Caleb is in good cycling form.
Another great video. You guys really have hit the wettest spring/summer in years in these parts, but hey weather is what it is, and as you are doing, we find a way to enjoy anyway. Looking forward to the rest of your trip for sure. As always safe travels...
More great content as usual! It's so satisfying knowing that you love what you are doing. Thank you for taking the time to share with all of us!
Love seeing you in NS. My parents were born in Cape Breton and I spent my summers there growing up. Safe and happy travels!
Been 9 years since we did the Cabot trail. We were lucky enough to have a good friend with a house in Baddeck right on the inland sea. Thanks for the video
Thank you so very much. This video was amazing. So beautiful and I am watching a second time! Yes!
I see Marc has already addressed this in another comment but for others reading.....
1st Diesels 17:31.
Verily, I say unto thee, in the realm of diesel trucks, thou shalt not tarry nor hesitate in the changing of batteries, but with utmost diligence, thou shalt replace both the sources of power, for it is written that a wise man forsakes not a single weary cell, but doth renew them both, that the chariot may run with steadfast vigor and unyielding might, and the journey be smooth and unencumbered. Thus, heed this divine decree: "Always change both batteries in thy diesel truck, for therein lieth the path of prudence and the assurance of a reliable steed."
Also new hold downs are about $15 if the corrosion bothers you. 19:20
We were there last month and would go back in a heartbeat! Those views never get old!!
Can’t wait to watch the video. Love the channel.!
So fun to see you guys up in the eastern part of Canada. I come from the Eastern townships in Quebec but travel to the Atlantic provinces every year to visit familly and enjoy the beautiful scenery and fun people.
Love watching you guys!
Love Cabot Trail. Dad was from N.S.. We would go every summer from Montreal to visit family. As a kid I didn’t appreciated it. I drove last year after many years and loved it. Great job guys to show the best of us.
Lovely area. Nice that the shop let you do the repair in the parking lot. I recommend you consider replacing the second battery. Also use baking soda and water to rinse any residual acid from the clamps. Thank you for sharing and have a great day.
I loved driving to Cheticamp and on up the coast with you! It brought back such great memories. I'm so sad that you didn't get the full impact of the view from the Skyline Trail. Next time... but what a fabulous bike ride back down the mountain. You guys amaze me. Great video.
Marc, you truly have become a crocs person! Safe travels to you all!
What a beautiful place. Fantastic. My Dad's family was from there.
Fyi. If u swapped to AGM from flooded batteries you should use Forscan to change ur BCM setting under “battery type”. This tells the truck how to charge your batteries to optimize battery charge/life.
Beautiful video! Thanks for taking us along on your travels!!…. Lisa
Beauty, ‘eh?
Such a joy spending some time with you folks.
This was a spectacular episode, from the scenery, the bike riding, the food, to the maintenance success.
Rock On!
Two weeks ago, spent half a day replacing both trailer batteries in the middle of a camping trip... I feel your pain. They were old and failing - even the solar couldn't keep them charged. It gave us a chance to shop for some batteries and some fishing licenses. New batts, no fish caught, cant win them all... Keep up the fight, we are hare to watch, enjoy, and relate....
The Cabot Trail is where I saw my first red fox 🦊 and her pups. We stayed at a bed and breakfast and they were running around and playing on the property. Magical
Glad you had a great time on the Cabot Trail. Enjoy PEI 😀
Loved this episode. Glad the fix for the superduty was the less expensive one. The shot where you were above the clouds reminded me of camping near Frosty Park Co, west of Colorado Springs, every year for an annual birthday party for friends. We all had our dirt bikes and the highlight, for me, was the midnight ride to the top of a mountain somewhere between Pikes Peak and Cheyenne Mt. There is a valley you can look down on from there and this particular trip there was heavy fog in the valley. There was also a full moon that made the fog bank light up in silver light and caused the whole valley to glow in an extremely bright silver light. Spectacular.
Gee after watching the videos on Nova Scotia I've added it to my bucket list of places I most likely will never get to go to. I'm really enjoying seeing these as well as Charlie his eyes just melt my heart. Caleb reminds me of my bike riding days but I wasn't as good as he is. Trish the chips and dip surely looked amazing. Marc keeps you on the road. Thank you so much as enjoyed. Love y'all
Beautiful video, as usual.
I forgot to add that I was the first one on the Skyline trail at 7:30am too! But by 9:15 it was crowded….
We will be going to the Cabot trail and Cape Breton in early August. We use to camp as kids in Cheticamp every summer since we have family in the area. Petit Etang Beach is a beach we would visit where you had lake swimming on one side and the ocean on the other (beach inbetween them) - it was awesome back in the day. Great video - brought back many memories!
39 mph on a bike you boys are crazy! Love your UA-cam site. Thanks for cooking tips Trish.❤
Thanks for the great video and going there in 3 weeks to do the Cabot Trail on our Spyder!🥰👍
Congrats on 500K Subs!! Love your channel!!
Well. The DaubSquad may have a new destination for next summer! We leave for Dry Tortugas this week, but Nova Scotia looks awesome! We were in New Brunswick a little bit last year, and it was awesome. Thanks for your great videos!
Loved the video thanks for sharing . Really beautiful areas . someone said it was 45 min long . Well it only seemed like 5 min for me and that is how you know it a great video.
The Cabot Trail is extra special in the Fall! 🇨🇦
We got out to the end of the Skyline Trail and just started back when a thunderstorm hit. We did not have rain gear and were drenched but the view made it definitely worth it!
You’re being back memories. 10 years ago we made our own epic trip to Newfoundland from Alberta. (Cape Spear or Bust!). Cabot Trail was a memorable day.
Super jealous (as usual;) but glad y’all are enjoying Canada! I must be the y’all’s polar opposite because I can’t get enough clouds (probably because I’m in Texas… should be triple digits everyday at least until Aug 14 and currently 28% humidity)!🥵 Planning to head NE with the RV soon though!🙌🏼
