I have lived an hour south of Santa Barbara most of my life. Your family showed more of Santa Barbara in a 15 min vlog then I've seen in many many visits there. Sometimes you don't know what's in your backyard until somebody else comes over and shows you. I have taken the family for years to Pismo Beach always camping on the beach in the sand with sand toys. thank you for sharing and I loved the piece on San Luis Obispo Thursday Farmers Market. keep up the good work and enjoy.
I love that you mentioned Pinterest. I always use it to plan my visits. Neat story: a German friend was showing me around Hannover and I noticed that he kept taking me to places I wanted to see. When I said something about that, he smiled and said, "Yes, I stalked your Pinterest board." 😀❤️
Jody's Journey I love Pinterest for planning too. In fact I ended up meeting a new friend on there because we had so many common interests in our boards!
We use Road trippers for the fun things along the way (think Clark Griswold and the worlds largest ball of mud) and the All Stays app. We also use yelp and trip advisor to read reviews of campgrounds. In addition for anyone who is active, reserve, national guard or retired military All Stays has an app that will just show you military recreational sites.
I am using you guys to learn so much!. Love your enthusiasm! Hubby and I sold our house and will be going full time RV'ing in our fifth wheel starting September 20 heading to Gettysburg then on to Cedar Key Florida and then who knows... Happy and safe travels friends. Hope to catch up with you some day!
Myself and my kiddos are just about ready to start our rv journey. I have been binge watching you guys to get a feel for how it would be for my kids. My son is 12 and my daughter is 8 (autistic). It's wonderful to see how your kiddos and family are thriving with these adventures and I'm really enjoying sharing in your experiences. I'm missing Maddie already though!
Good Apps! We use google mostly. Will have to look into Allstays. Since our trips are mainly "A" to "B" destinations, maybe with one overnight stay between and then we are off to explore "B". Congrats to the winners!
Hi Marc and Trish... your trip and these videos have inspired Cindy and me to get a starter RV!!! Just drove it back from the LA area. Its an old retro TRAVCO, and we will be refurbishing it over the next couple months so we can get out there too!! Keep up the good work on the Videos!
You're too much Phil. Be sure to get it Water Buffalo tested. I still remember that joke. Of corse you would refurbish one... and you should! That's the best way to make it work. Let me know if you have any questions!
We ENJOY yall's vids so much!! We are leaving tomorrow in our new to us, 2014 Tiffin motorhome to see the Smoky Mountains. No plans for the return trip yet, but we will figure that out in the next 16 days on the road.
Awesome information!! We are starting our journey next week. Just picked up a 5er. Now outfitting and you what you need video was very helpful. Thanks guys
A Rand-McNally RVND (GPS) gives me loads of information that is very useful while I'm navigating my 30' Class A with toad, including warning me away from problems like low clearances and unsafe RR Xings, and will warn me of sharp curves ahead, speed limit changes, and much more. Since I am solo, having the extra help is wonderful, but I don't blindly rely on it ... just as one should never rely blindly on any technology in a dynamically changing environment.
Joined Harvesthosts and have already made four or five reservations/contacts! Price was almost double to join than what you said in the video, but still going to be well worth the experience. Only place that could not take us was a location an hour or so from our home in Johnson City, TN. We mentioned KYD when asked how we heard about them. Actually, we already knew about harvest hosts, but you folks really prompted us to join for our July and August adventure! Thanks!!!!
Keep Your Daydream 😐 must have misunderstood y'all. It is 44 but we did it for three years. Had thought you said $25. That's what we get for listening when half asleep. 😴 thanks!
Yes, from the first flat tire I was hooked. And I've learned so much! And I realize I definitely need/want a drone. You'll love BC & I look forward to those videos. 🇨🇦
After a horrific drive into work today, I thought I should tell you about radio 730 AM, "all traffic, all the time". Very useful when you are in the lower mainland and for ferry / border reports.
Great stuff! We are newbies and are watching and reading everything we can. I never thought about Pinterest. I use it for other RV stuff and now look forward to using it for trip planning. Thanks!
We’ve been using Allstays since getting our first RV in 2011. It is awesome. After watching this video I just downloaded Harvest Hosts and Four Square. Thanks for the tips. Go For It
We've been meeting people during Season 3 and we've heard them say something to the effect... "it's nice to know that you guys are exactly how you are the vids, we were wondering if you would be :)"
Well, one thing I learned, that was staring me in the face was Pinterest!!! Like you said, I've only used it for creativity ideas! I just tried it with my home-town and how very interesting!! I'm gonna put that in my proverbial pocket for when I need it!! Thanks!! Lauri
This is great, thanks for sharing. I'm about to retire from the Army in GA & I need to find the easiest, fun, safest way to get me & my son back to the west coast. It's time for some serious traveling!!! I can't wait to look into Harvest Host & All Stays.
Another vote for Camp & RV By Allstays ($9.99) but well worth it. We used it in Calif and Nev to find very quiet but amazing campsites with excellent hosts.
Hey KYD I start my 10 month RV road trip on April 16th from Washington. I'm Australian and have been planning the trip for 2 years. I bought my RV in Washington last year before popping back to OZ for summer. So I rewatched your vids for the best apps. Definitely going down the Oregon coast to California before my sister joins me for 3weeks on our route 66 road trip. I hope to see you on the road. Marilyn
Good stuff. The food app sounds very much a must have and well google maps is always being used at my work and home. Can't wait for Alaska and that great part of this trip. See ya'll next weekend.
Okay how AWESOME is it that vendors out there want to be part of the Keep Your Daydream ~KYD~ world. Pretty darn awesome and cool I think! :) stay safe!
Love watching you guys! Very helpful stuff! Just had my first flat tire on my 2017 Class C RV......I am a Traveling Registered Nurse, traveling by myself from TX to CA.......lost a gas cap....had a flat tire....lost front license plate on my toad....flooded interior of RV........lots of firsts for me!!!!!!! Wish I would have taped it all?!!!! Thanks again, good info!
I use my Garman (RV Model RV 760LM) and RV Parky. Rv Parky is fast no messing with it . Turn on your location press the my location button shows what CG's around you. Along with Walmart, food gas etc. Also can search by city/state. Love it !
Five great ideas. I use Rand McNally for travel checking routes for my coach size and it's pretty accurate but not perfect, but that has to do with local governments not reporting accurate information on roadway's. keep the rubber on the road.
I just went to the All Stays app and found a perfect site right on the River! Just what I was looking for and contacted the Campground, we are gonna set up some dates tomorrow in the AM. This is exactly what I wanted to find. thanks again!
What about Campendium? Great for photos and real life reviews! Also lists Wi-Fi and cell strength! I use Allstays and Campendium together before I choose any place to camp! I use Roadtrippers for route planning... you can pick your nightly destinations and it will tell you how many miles between so you can plan your driving days. Then you can plug in sites along your route for daytripping!
Glad you're enjoying Bend. Marilyn and I live about 1/2 mile away. Sorry we didn't know about the get together. Enjoy your time here. Paul Simon playing at Les Schwab tonight
Hey there Dennis and Marilyn. Do you follow us on Fbook? That is where we post meet-up details. And Instagram. We might be back on our way down though. We really liked Bend and have a few more things to do there!
I love your UA-cam channel, one of my favorite Maps is Waze try it out it gives you information step-by-step of accidents ahead of you police ahead of you even when cars are stalled on the side you get to find out ahead of time
I just saw this video. This video is near my home town. If you haven’t been to paisley Oregon you should go there. Check out the summer lake hot springs!!! We live the bend and surrounding areas!!!
You'll never have another bad meal. I know that's a big statement, but that app is accurate. The only thing that might be inflated is land-mark restaurants, but even then it won't be bad food... just not worth the mark-up.
I know, old youtube, you may also check out "RV Parky" app. The only drawback with it is that does not currently navigate. Plus is that you can put the dimensions of your rig in and it will plan the route around low clearance, load limits, narrow roads...so far so good.
Thanks. We use it almost every week now. The only thing to watch out for are the super popular places that have a marketing department to inflate their score. However, it sill won't be bad, but just not really a 9+. It helps us avoid really bad meals now, which we can't stand!
Great timing guys! We are preparing to set out in a couple of weeks so I downloaded the AllStays App this morning and finally joined Harvest Hosts and was excited about the possibilities there and was learning to navigate all of that...Then I saw this video! I am really excited about these resources to help us with planning our trips! Have a great day :)
Great stuff - thank you! A couple I have not heard of before. The other app and website you did not mention was RVParkReviews. Great site for finding RV parks in an area, their amenities, rates, but most importantly to me reviews. I use it all the time to get information from other people who have stayed there and what they liked./didn't like. I also post reviews there and encourage others to do the same. Great resource and reviews specific to the park and from our fellow travelers.
We just got a 27' travel trailer and are learning SO MUCH from your videos! Sadly, AllStays is no longer available for Android devices, but there are some other good options as well. Stay safe out there!!
Does your current trip bring you anywhere close to Alberta? The Calgary Stampede runs the first part of July. If the kids are into dinosaurs there is The Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology in Drumheller. There are great exhibits and the family can participate in a fossil dig. There are also several coulees and canyons around the area that are great for hiking and possibly biking. Depending on how you travel to the museum, there is Horseshoe Canyon on Highway 9, The Atlas Coal Mine in Rosedale and many other attractions in the area. Love all the information you provide, and for the time being I get to live vicariously through your videos. Happy Trails and hope one day to meet with you when you are in the area.
Ahhh, perfect timing! We just finished our first 5 day RV trip to Fort Yargo and spent 5 days camping in the rain. Loved every minute of it. Now we are about to plan our first cross country trip to start next week after my chemo. Your post will help us plan the trip. Thanks! (oh allstays is our goto app)
That was a very cool clip, have you ever used roadtrippers? check it, they also have a board game too. Anyways love all the videos so far of this season. Keep it real like you always do and remember to Live-Life-Loud!!!
the good sam card. will get you 5 cent discount on gas and 7 cent discount on diesel at pilot flyingJ centers, love vids nice to you in great Pacific Northwest lots to see and lots to do I've lived year 41 years and it never gets old Go Cougs!!!
I was just thinking about you guys today, and here you are again ;-) I was out all day myself, garage sale finding, etc. Great tips on the apps. If not this trip, maybe you could go see Banff National Park in Alberta. The photos are drop dead gorgeous.
To add to your list I use RV Parky, Good Sam, KOA. But for actually planning the trip, the Good Sam online trip planner is the best. You do have to be a member of Good Sam.
It has been fun to follow you up the Ca coast, and now Bend! Headed for Grant's Pass in Sept, but it's Utah for great grandkids next week... BTW have you heard of Waze for local trafffic? Used it extensively for traffic watch in Bay Area, and on most of our Ca trips... And, love your enthusiasm... Hmmm sounds like another title for a VLOG!!! LOL...
Hey guy, KYD video's are the most entertaining, informative and your personalities are awesome. Thank you for your video's and that you for sharing your experiences and passing knowledge to us. I was kinda disappointed when I looked up the allstays app and it is not available for android. One app we found that sounds very similar to allstays and available for Apple and Android is RVParky. We was hooked from the first flat tire also. Can't wait to get a KYD sticker one day or maybe win one of your giveaways. Safe travels and enjoy the ride.
Great planning apps! One note though, we are vegans and didn't see how foursquare helps us, we couldn't find vegetarians option to filter restaurants. We do use Trip advisor for that reason and it helps. Love your show!😎😎
Love the vids but would love even more if you would include some info on the parks you stay in. Planning a west coast trip next summer. Ya'll seem to come across some great RV parks. Thanks
We have... every video of Season 3 we mention the RV park... unless it's no Bueno. Didn't mention in this video, but mentioned it when the channel comes to Bend. Scandia RV Park.
Wow, your channel is amazing. Just found it and it is really helping me to plan a little for RV life. Have not yet got a RV. Really striving for the Grand Design momentum 397th. Thanks so much, Mike
I WON?? I see a nice cold drink going in that koozie in the future and that sticker? It will go on our trailer. THANK YOU for picking out my name and I may or may not (okay I did) call my husband and let him hear you saying our nicknames. =) Welcome to the dork show with us. I am envious in a happy way for everyone at the meet up and know one day we will be at one. I need to quit being a slacker and only following on youtube and IG and become a pateron. I just want a ginger AND to see some deleted videos. Okay enough ramble...thank you again, I will email you my address and this video is another helpful one. I never thought of Pintrest as a route planner but super helpful on remodeling an rv for our trip so far.
Awesome tips :-) I used Pinterest years ago but didn't think of it for when picking up places. Revisited it after your videos, and wow, it's now my favourite inspiration tool. Thanks :-)
Hey, I just found you all on a random search. I have a new travel trailer after teardropping for 2.5 years. I am happy to be subscribed. Hey, Let me know if you are coming through GA sometime, I would love love love to meet you all.
Damn!! Another great video, U love Trish's enthusiasm when she talks about something dear to her heart ❤️...how long before U make it to Vancouver Island 🌴?? R U coming via the "MV COHO". ? It is a nice crossing and u may see a KILLER WHALE or two!! I don't remember what the max length is but that is easy to find. Safe travels!!!
We're headed your way! Should be July. BC will be the crown jewel to Season 3. The stuff planned is unreal. Keep in touch. Follow on Fbook and IG so you don't miss any meet-ups. Not planned yet, but who knows. We're 53' total.
i use copilot for RV on may tablet and use it as my GPS. It allows you to add info about your RV so you don't drive a route that has a 10 for underpass and you have a 11'-3" trailer. Your tablet needa to have GPS on it.
Have you checked out the app called Truck Map? It was primarily created for use by truckers, but it has lots of things related to RV travelers, too. You should check it out. Another bonus is that it is free and it is so easy to use. Love to hear your thoughts of you use it.
Sygic is a gps navigation app used by 200 million people. It’s gps based and does not need cellular to work (just to download maps). Works where there is no cell.
Really? Do you follow us on Fbook or IG. That's where we announce meet-ups. We met everyone at Crux a couple days ago. Would have been great to meet you!
Waze is another cool one I loved and used for the same reason google maps is helpful. It has comments from people like "left lane blockage get in right lane" and it allows you to put helpful info too so something fun to do for the copilot :) Can I also inquire how you guys make sure you aren't too tall for over passes/bridges etc? I only ask because I happened to be going under a tunnel on my way to Las Vegas and it was capped at 10', but nowhere on the road the 20 miles prior did it mention that. I was in a car but I kinda wondered what people in semi's or rvs do about keeping to the roads that have ample height space.
We are starting out in two weeks. We were concerned about the low places. We picked up the MOTOR CARRIERS 2018 ROAD ATLAS. This is where the big guys go. Every state is in there and the highways are marked in orange. This is a big Atlas. Around 11 inches by 15 inches. It's 1/2 inch thick. Just for fun, look at Texas. It looks like a can of worms. You could go about anywhere. Hope this helps.
I would love to see that first ever "flat tire" video. The first video with you guys I saw was the one that you guys went to the Silos and I'm like a bit obsessed with thoughts of going there someday haha. Anyway I did subscribe now because you are doing what I've always dreamed of doing, Only not sure if you guys actually live in yours all the time but that would be my dream if I ever get one.
GasBuddy is a good app to have ... in the long run it could save you a lot of money on gas ...And ... you guys are awesome. We live just outside Vancouver BC and are planning to visit all the major ballparks in the US. Should be a cool trip ...
I have lived an hour south of Santa Barbara most of my life. Your family showed more of Santa Barbara in a 15 min vlog then I've seen in many many visits there. Sometimes you don't know what's in your backyard until somebody else comes over and shows you. I have taken the family for years to Pismo Beach always camping on the beach in the sand with sand toys. thank you for sharing and I loved the piece on San Luis Obispo Thursday Farmers Market. keep up the good work and enjoy.
Thanks Randall!

Jody's Journey I love Pinterest for planning too. In fact I ended up meeting a new friend on there because we had so many common interests in our boards!
The first flat tire was the first episode i watched and I was hooked because it was so real.
We use Road trippers for the fun things along the way (think Clark Griswold and the worlds largest ball of mud) and the All Stays app. We also use yelp and trip advisor to read reviews of campgrounds. In addition for anyone who is active, reserve, national guard or retired military All Stays has an app that will just show you military recreational sites.
I am using you guys to learn so much!. Love your enthusiasm! Hubby and I sold our house and will be going full time RV'ing in our fifth wheel starting September 20 heading to Gettysburg then on to Cedar Key Florida and then who knows...

Myself and my kiddos are just about ready to start our rv journey. I have been binge watching you guys to get a feel for how it would be for my kids. My son is 12 and my daughter is 8 (autistic). It's wonderful to see how your kiddos and family are thriving with these adventures and I'm really enjoying sharing in your experiences. I'm missing Maddie already though!
Your Tips on the videos you post are SOOOO helpful. Getting ready to buy our first RV. Now excited more than ever
Good Apps! We use google mostly. Will have to look into Allstays. Since our trips are mainly "A" to "B" destinations, maybe with one overnight stay between and then we are off to explore "B".
Congrats to the winners!
Hi Marc and Trish... your trip and these videos have inspired Cindy and me to get a starter RV!!! Just drove it back from the LA area. Its an old retro TRAVCO, and we will be refurbishing it over the next couple months so we can get out there too!! Keep up the good work on the Videos!
You're too much Phil. Be sure to get it Water Buffalo tested. I still remember that joke. Of corse you would refurbish one... and you should! That's the best way to make it work. Let me know if you have any questions!
We ENJOY yall's vids so much!!
We are leaving tomorrow in our new to us, 2014 Tiffin motorhome to see the Smoky Mountains. No plans for the return trip yet, but we will figure that out in the next 16 days on the road.
Awesome information!! We are starting our journey next week. Just picked up a 5er. Now outfitting and you what you need video was very helpful. Thanks guys
Congrats!!
I just finished 4400 miles using Allstays and Gas Buddy. I have RV Trip Wizard, but it's more for the people who must plan every moment.
A Rand-McNally RVND (GPS) gives me loads of information that is very useful while I'm navigating my 30' Class A with toad, including warning me away from problems like low clearances and unsafe RR Xings, and will warn me of sharp curves ahead, speed limit changes, and much more.
Since I am solo, having the extra help is wonderful, but I don't blindly rely on it ... just as one should never rely blindly on any technology in a dynamically changing environment.
Also a flat tire follower, I litteraly spat my water right out when you brought it up, omg! 🤐😊
:) Thanks for being with us so long! We're very grateful for everything that we get to share the adventure with!
Joined Harvesthosts and have already made four or five reservations/contacts! Price was almost double to join than what you said in the video, but still going to be well worth the experience.

Actually, we already knew about harvest hosts, but you folks really prompted us to join for our July and August adventure! Thanks!!!!
It's not $44? Or did you buy a membership longer than 1 year? We've loved every experience so far. Thanks for mentioning us.
Keep Your Daydream 😐 must have misunderstood y'all. It is 44 but we did it for three years. Had thought you said $25. That's what we get for listening when half asleep. 😴 thanks!
Yes, from the first flat tire I was hooked. And I've learned so much! And I realize I definitely need/want a drone. You'll love BC & I look forward to those videos. 🇨🇦

Go For It
Enjoy your videos. Nice to see people being themselves in front of the camara. Keep up the good work.
We've been meeting people during Season 3 and we've heard them say something to the effect... "it's nice to know that you guys are exactly how you are the vids, we were wondering if you would be :)"
Well, one thing I learned, that was staring me in the face was Pinterest!!! Like you said, I've only used it for creativity ideas! I just tried it with my home-town and how very interesting!! I'm gonna put that in my proverbial pocket for when I need it!! Thanks!!

Sweet! Thanks for letting us know.
I am a Bend Native. I get stoked seeing people stoked on Bend.
This is great, thanks for sharing. I'm about to retire from the Army in GA & I need to find the easiest, fun, safest way to get me & my son back to the west coast. It's time for some serious traveling!!! I can't wait to look into Harvest Host & All Stays.

Hey KYD I start my 10 month RV road trip on April 16th from Washington. I'm Australian and have been planning the trip for 2 years. I bought my RV in Washington last year before popping back to OZ for summer. So I rewatched your vids for the best apps. Definitely going down the Oregon coast to California before my sister joins me for 3weeks on our route 66 road trip. I hope to see you on the road. Marilyn
Good stuff. The food app sounds very much a must have and well google maps is always being used at my work and home. Can't wait for Alaska and that great part of this trip. See ya'll next weekend.
Thank you for this video, I am trying to learn as much as I can before I jump into living the rving lifestyle this August.
Okay how AWESOME is it that vendors out there want to be part of the Keep Your Daydream ~KYD~ world. Pretty darn awesome and cool I think! :) stay safe!
Love watching you guys! Very helpful stuff! Just had my first flat tire on my 2017 Class C RV......I am a Traveling Registered Nurse, traveling by myself from TX to CA.......lost a gas cap....had a flat tire....lost front license plate on my toad....flooded interior of RV........lots of firsts for me!!!!!!! Wish I would have taped it all?!!!! Thanks again, good info!
Love the name. Wow, you're learning a lot quickly! The only way I learn too.
Great info guys, thanks for sharing! Señor rojo we drove so fast we passed you guys. We made it to Vancouver and headed to Victoria tomorrow.
AllStays, Boondockers Welcome and Harvest Hosts!!! We agree with you guys! 👍
I use my Garman (RV Model RV 760LM) and RV Parky. Rv Parky is fast no messing with it . Turn on your location press the my location button shows what CG's around you. Along with Walmart, food gas etc. Also can search by city/state. Love it !
You guys are so fun to watch and I've almost got my husband convinced we need to take the same voyage! Hope you all make it to Tulsa Oklahoma!
We love bringing couple and families to RVing. I'm sure we'll make there at some point. Just don't know when!
Five great ideas. I use Rand McNally for travel checking routes for my coach size and it's pretty accurate but not perfect, but that has to do with local governments not reporting accurate information on roadway's.
keep the rubber on the road.
Thanks for all the great content presented in such a fun way! Love it! We just purchased our rv and are looking to get our Day Dreams on!
Thanks David!
I just went to the All Stays app and found a perfect site right on the River! Just what I was looking for and contacted the Campground, we are gonna set up some dates tomorrow in the AM. This is exactly what I wanted to find. thanks again!
What about Campendium? Great for photos and real life reviews! Also lists Wi-Fi and cell strength! I use Allstays and Campendium together before I choose any place to camp!

Thanks, you are so joyful, it is a pleasure to watch you. It is nice to know what is out there and how to use them.
Cool.. I am from New Zealand but visit USA regularly.. San Luis Obispo is one of my fav small CA towns up the coast here. Cant wait to see the video.
It was amazing. Stay tuned. Might be late this week withe car trouble and meet-up. Busy in Bend!
Bend is amazing. We would go and vacation at Sunriver every winter and summer. I miss it.
Glad you're enjoying Bend. Marilyn and I live about 1/2 mile away. Sorry we didn't know about the get together. Enjoy your time here. Paul Simon playing at Les Schwab tonight
Hey there Dennis and Marilyn. Do you follow us on Fbook? That is where we post meet-up details. And Instagram. We might be back on our way down though. We really liked Bend and have a few more things to do there!

You guys are a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for all of the fun places you have taken my wife and I. By the way, What video editing program do you use?
Downloaded the Foursquare app and I love it. In Napa today and it is very useful. Thanks!
You'll never have another bad meal. I know that's a big statement, but that app is accurate. The only thing that might be inflated is land-mark restaurants, but even then it won't be bad food... just not worth the mark-up.

Great ideas on some apps I hadn't thought of...thanks! Love watching you guys!
Very fun and informative video! Four square never even entered my head. Thanks for another great video. Love you guys!!
Thanks. We use it almost every week now. The only thing to watch out for are the super popular places that have a marketing department to inflate their score. However, it sill won't be bad, but just not really a 9+. It helps us avoid really bad meals now, which we can't stand!
thanks so much for the list of apps! my family of five just purchased our first RV and will be going to Colorado Sometime Late July/ August.
Sweet!
Great timing guys! We are preparing to set out in a couple of weeks so I downloaded the AllStays App this morning and finally joined Harvest Hosts and was excited about the possibilities there and was learning to navigate all of that...Then I saw this video! I am really excited about these resources to help us with planning our trips! Have a great day :)
Also, did you see the route search option on the Harvest Host map? That made it so convenient for me when planning the first leg of our trip!
Awesome!

Now we are about to plan our first cross country trip to start next week after my chemo. Your post will help us plan the trip. Thanks! (oh allstays is our goto app)
That was a very cool clip, have you ever used roadtrippers? check it, they also have a board game too. Anyways love all the videos so far of this season. Keep it real like you always do and remember to Live-Life-Loud!!!
the good sam card. will get you 5 cent discount on gas and 7 cent discount on diesel at pilot flyingJ centers, love vids nice to you in great Pacific Northwest lots to see and lots to do I've lived year 41 years and it never gets old Go Cougs!!!
I was just thinking about you guys today, and here you are again ;-) I was out all day myself, garage sale finding, etc. Great tips on the apps. If not this trip, maybe you could go see Banff National Park in Alberta. The photos are drop dead gorgeous.
To add to your list I use RV Parky, Good Sam, KOA. But for actually planning the trip, the Good Sam online trip planner is the best. You do have to be a member of Good Sam.
We are. I'll check it out.
It has been fun to follow you up the Ca coast, and now Bend! Headed for Grant's Pass in Sept, but it's Utah for great grandkids next week... BTW have you heard of Waze for local trafffic? Used it extensively for traffic watch in Bay Area, and on most of our Ca trips... And, love your enthusiasm... Hmmm sounds like another title for a VLOG!!! LOL...
Hey guy, KYD video's are the most entertaining, informative and your personalities are awesome. Thank you for your video's and that you for sharing your experiences and passing knowledge to us. I was kinda disappointed when I looked up the allstays app and it is not available for android. One app we found that sounds very similar to allstays and available for Apple and Android is RVParky. We was hooked from the first flat tire also. Can't wait to get a KYD sticker one day or maybe win one of your giveaways. Safe travels and enjoy the ride.
Great planning apps! One note though, we are vegans and didn't see how foursquare helps us, we couldn't find vegetarians option to filter restaurants. We do use Trip advisor for that reason and it helps. Love your show!😎😎
paul hoover If you type in Vegan... All the restaurants that are vegetarian show up.
Keep Your Daydream thanks!!!
I am literally hooked and have you own the big screen. You may actually replace HGTV as my "crack".
Lol. Glad you found us. Thanks for the comment. Keep in touch. We're good with comments as people binge watch. Helps me know where new subs are :)
Love the vids but would love even more if you would include some info on the parks you stay in. Planning a west coast trip next summer. Ya'll seem to come across some great RV parks. Thanks
We have... every video of Season 3 we mention the RV park... unless it's no Bueno. Didn't mention in this video, but mentioned it when the channel comes to Bend. Scandia RV Park.
Awesome, you're so inspiring I'm about to purchase my first RV!
Wow, your channel is amazing. Just found it and it is really helping me to plan a little for RV life. Have not yet got a RV. Really striving for the Grand Design momentum 397th.
Thanks so much, Mike
Hi, before we take our west coast trip next April we will watch your videos again. Thanks for the apps info. Looking forward to BC info.
I absolutely LOVE Pinterest ! Beautiful pictures, so much information ! Pinterest is a MUST HAVE app for everyone !
I WON?? I see a nice cold drink going in that koozie in the future and that sticker? It will go on our trailer. THANK YOU for picking out my name and I may or may not (okay I did) call my husband and let him hear you saying our nicknames. =) Welcome to the dork show with us. I am envious in a happy way for everyone at the meet up and know one day we will be at one. I need to quit being a slacker and only following on youtube and IG and become a pateron. I just want a ginger AND to see some deleted videos. Okay enough ramble...thank you again, I will email you my address and this video is another helpful one. I never thought of Pintrest as a route planner but super helpful on remodeling an rv for our trip so far.
Congratulations!
Thank you, Patricia. I have never won any sort of give away or contest. So I really appreciate it.
It is just the beginning!
alaskangal82 - Congratulations!
I enjoyed it. Koozie has gotten more use than Traveling Ginger so far though. =) Thank you.
Awesome tips :-) I used Pinterest years ago but didn't think of it for when picking up places. Revisited it after your videos, and wow, it's now my favourite inspiration tool. Thanks :-)
Sweet. Trish finds so much stuff from there. We're trying to post more there, but it's hard to keep current with more than a few social media apps.
True, I think some times it's better to be more active on a few, than trying to do all. After all you do need time to travel and explore as well. :-)
Great RV App video. I have 4 out of 5. You guys are great. You know I ❤️ you. Congrats to the winner.

I use Pinterest all the time, but didn't know this little tip. THANKS!
You all rock! I'm originally from Santa Maria and I can't wait to see what you all think of the central coast.
I've found Park Advisor helpful. I'll have to try that first app you mentioned
Great info. Love the energy from you both.
Learning as much as I can about full time Rving.
Thanks for all the tips.
Hey, I just found you all on a random search. I have a new travel trailer after teardropping for 2.5 years. I am happy to be subscribed. Hey, Let me know if you are coming through GA sometime, I would love love love to meet you all.
Welcome! We were in GA just before Hurricane Matthew. I'm sure we'll be back, but not anytime soon.
Hey, 32 won and 32X on the box. Cool! Flat tire follower. Safe travels.
AllStays is great for iOS. We found that RoadTrippers is good and works well on both iOS and Android.
Great information, thank you for sharing. Will be looking into some of those suggestions. Have a wonderful day !
Damn!! Another great video, U love Trish's enthusiasm when she talks about something dear to her heart ❤️...how long before U make it to Vancouver Island 🌴??
R U coming via the "MV COHO". ? It is a nice crossing and u may see a KILLER WHALE or two!! I don't remember what the max length is but that is easy to find. Safe travels!!!
We're headed your way! Should be July. BC will be the crown jewel to Season 3. The stuff planned is unreal. Keep in touch. Follow on Fbook and IG so you don't miss any meet-ups. Not planned yet, but who knows. We're 53' total.
High energy. I love it. Keep up the enthusiasm.
i use copilot for RV on may tablet and use it as my GPS. It allows you to add info about your RV so you don't drive a route that has a 10 for underpass and you have a 11'-3" trailer. Your tablet needa to have GPS on it.
What great information, even if you aren't traveling in an RV.
Good point. Thanks!
If you are in the area check out Graeagle California, it will blow your socks off !
We'll be sure to wear sandals that day!
Nice video & helpful enjoyed watching. Peace & happy travels.
Love the same apps! Good review. You might also look at Trover that is similar to Instagram but will show photos near you or a specified locale.
Have you checked out the app called Truck Map? It was primarily created for use by truckers, but it has lots of things related to RV travelers, too. You should check it out. Another bonus is that it is free and it is so easy to use. Love to hear your thoughts of you use it.
I'll take a look.
Awesome video and loaded with good information.. Great job
Sygic is a gps navigation app used by 200 million people. It’s gps based and does not need cellular to work (just to download maps). Works where there is no cell.
Great suggestions for the apps, already downloaded a coupleof them.
you are in my home town and you didnt call ?? OMG ! I would have taken you to a LOT of cool places. Man, I am so Bummed !!
Really? Do you follow us on Fbook or IG. That's where we announce meet-ups. We met everyone at Crux a couple days ago. Would have been great to meet you!
One of my favorite apps is "Gas Buddy" I was able to save 30 cents a gal by driving 3 miles off the freeway to a station the app told me about.
Wow. Thanks for commenting. I know people will like that!
I am watching your Mexico trip, I think Season 2.....AMAZING!!!!!!!
We loved MX. You can comment on the video you're watching. All the comments come into the same page for me.
I love you guys enthusiasm, thanks for the great tips.
Waze is another cool one I loved and used for the same reason google maps is helpful. It has comments from people like "left lane blockage get in right lane" and it allows you to put helpful info too so something fun to do for the copilot :)
Can I also inquire how you guys make sure you aren't too tall for over passes/bridges etc?
I only ask because I happened to be going under a tunnel on my way to Las Vegas and it was capped at 10', but nowhere on the road the 20 miles prior did it mention that. I was in a car but I kinda wondered what people in semi's or rvs do about keeping to the roads that have ample height space.
We are starting out in two weeks. We were concerned about the low places. We picked up the MOTOR CARRIERS 2018 ROAD ATLAS. This is where the big guys go. Every state is in there and the highways are marked in orange. This is a big Atlas. Around 11 inches by 15 inches. It's 1/2 inch thick. Just for fun, look at Texas. It looks like a can of worms. You could go about anywhere. Hope this helps.
Another great video with good info. Im a newbie heading out in couple days appreciate it
Another great video. Solar panel tour will be fun. Have a good time. Wish we could have met up! :(
Your how to videos are the best!
I would love to see that first ever "flat tire" video. The first video with you guys I saw was the one that you guys went to the Silos and I'm like a bit obsessed with thoughts of going there someday haha. Anyway I did subscribe now because you are doing what I've always dreamed of doing, Only not sure if you guys actually live in yours all the time but that would be my dream if I ever get one.
We've been in our rig for 2 years in May. That video is easy to find. It's on our YT homepage. Audio is loud!
Thanks for the tips! Congratulations winners!
GasBuddy is a good app to have ... in the long run it could save you a lot of money on gas ...And ... you guys are awesome. We live just outside Vancouver BC and are planning to visit all the major ballparks in the US. Should be a cool trip ...
