3:30 in and we learnt something new. We have been living in our rig full time since Sept 2023 and you were the first people to talk about checking the hood vent cover. Thank you.
My favorite Marc comment ever was when he has a poopsie on his shoes and he said something like he was gonna have to throw away his feet😂 It was years ago but it still makes me giggle!
Ugh you !!!! I was just sitting down to eat and watch KYD, it was all ok talking about watching you get your lost hoses, Caleb getting the drip and even talking poopsies, BUT then you had to lick your finger with those dang blue gloves on…..I about lost it !!! I’m a nurse, I can clean someone out and go have lunch but THAT did me in !!!! 🤮 I’m glad y’all are making the best of things while sticking around caring for Caleb, I hope he is healing well !!! Blessings…..now let’s see if I can eat my supper 😘
Awesome video, as always! After adding the pine-sol/calgon solution to each tank I go back and add a capful to each drain so it sits in the p-trap. Smells great and I think it keeps the traps cleaner.
Great video as always. In regards to the issue with the collapsed sewer hose getting "lost" in the much longer under belly hose carrier, I came up with a solution. I took a pool noodle and cut it down and put it in the opposite side. That prevents the hose from sliding too far in and having to fish it out. Keep up the great stuff and hope Caleb is recovering.
You two are the best!!! We are new to RV life and never done anything like this before. We live in New Zealand, so things are a bit different here and we can't get all the products you can, and the facilities will be quite different, but you have given us so many pointers and advice. We have been parked up for three months in our new USA travel trailer, while hubby still working and so that we get used to how things operate in an RV and to get everything sorted for this new venture (full-time as we sold our house). We should be on the road within the next month when hubby retires. We are excited to explore our beautiful country. Thank you both for sharing - you are such fun and I love watching your videos - really appreciate your generosity.
Watching him licking brownie mix from his fingers after talking about the black water system and her mentioning a poopsie. PRICELESS! The last thing you should want after dealing with your RV’s septic system? Anybody? Anybody? BROWNIES! It was great to see Charley being spoiled and playing at the end you guys enjoy your time on the road.
Love watching KYD every Sunday night. I have found dumping multiple 5 gallon buckets of water directly into the toilet while running the black tank flush seems to be a great way to get your black tank clean.
My husband bought me an air fryer that uses lower wattage for our RV. He gave it to me for Christmas so I haven’t used it yet. I can not wait, I love the ones I have in the house I have two one works as a toaster oven as well.
We usually dump our dishwater into the toilet as it seems to help break down that poop pyramid some people get. Seems to keep our sensors working better too. We use the flusher in our trailer system before we unhook the sewer so it's as clean as possible before we head out.
Love your videos. Have been watching for about 5 years. Started when we first started talking about getting a travel trailer. Don't get to do enough traveling. Just wanted add another place to your list if dump sites, Rest Stops along the Interstates.
Hey thanks for all the hints! My sensors have never been accurate. From day one! 🤷🏽♀ It does bug me after I empty both black and gray that they don't say 0%. I mean, you do that work, you want the gratification of seeing 0%! I've done all the tank blaster stuff, etc. It's a Sprinter van (Pleasure-Way Ascent) with very small tankage, so I dump whenever I can. And a secret--- it's only #1. I've had many van peeps admit to this practice. Another resource for dump stations is your Garmin GPS device if you have the RV version. I have the Garmin 1095 and love it. So, hope to see you out there! Cheers!!
I didn’t even see the thumbnail because I click on the notification, when he licked his fingers I about 🤮 ! I guess I better start looking at thumbnails before watching to be forewarned !
I’m at a little over ten years of RVing. I’ve made a ton of sewer mistakes. I’ve found with my newest rig I times how long each tank takes to drain into no more liquid flows which is 7 minutes gray and 7 minutes black so now I open the black set an alarm for 7 minutes on my phone when it goes off I turn on black tank flush reset alarm 7 minutes shut off flush open gray reset alarm alarm goes off pack everything up. My stupid sensors have worked properly every time now. Now the trouble with my rig is the last two minutes are a trickle and when I was in glacier national park an older lady came and knocked on my window while I was planning directions and said “your tank has been done for five minutes so pack it up” I went outside my watch still said 2 minutes left and there was the trickle in my hose still trickling so I got back to my directions. Lucky for her they didn’t have a water hookup For black water flush and I was out of fresh water so I had to skip that step. That’s the first and only time I’ve seen someone slightly rude in a campground. I’m the captain of efficiency and getting and staying out of peoples way and remaining courteous so I was almost offended with the lady because I use a timer and am always worried I’m in the way. Also I found the shorter version of Ninja Foodie to cook and air fry most evenly and fits a lot better into a camper. I actually modified and drawer with a flip down drawer face and pull it out when in use. Let it cool and put it back. It’s also under the fridge which is a well vented area.
I’ve seen cameras be put into black tanks and the sani flush that is already on the RVs work just as good as the other attachments people can get. It’s not necessary to buy an extra flush item if the RV is already equipped.
Perfect timing! After watching you guys since the Rona we just got back from our maiden voyage!! Went just an hour away to Collin’s Lake and it was lovely and lived up to the hype even though we never caught a Lightening Trout. Emptied our tanks for the first time!! No poopsie- thought of you Marc as my husband untightened that cap for the very first time- 😮. Thanks for ALL the inspiration- changing lives KYD! ❤
Great episode and very much like the Flush King & Pine Sol/Calgon suggestion. We have some stubborn tank sensors on our Airstream that are all over the board so hoping this might do the trick! Many thanks!
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.....the black tank is most rvrs nemesis. For me I'm a 20 mule team borax fan. That and i always take an extra 15 min and drag a hose into the toilet and refill and redump twice. Then 4 gal and 2 cups borax. So far so good for 5 years ....great vid guys. Keep em coming!
Thank you so much for your honesty with your helpful comments. Camping is fun, but it can be a challenge. Happy travels and keep your daydreams coming!
Keep a spray can of cheap vegetable oil with your sewer hoses. I use it on my 90 degree screw on fitting going into the in-ground campground sewer fitting. Knocks most of the debris off and makes it easy to screw in.
We have been watching and enjoying KYD for years. Your tips on handling the black tank are great. But one to add: make sure you take the plug out of the black hose! On one of our early trips I missed. I did not flush a drop of grey to start and went for the black. We were then into the process of no flow and a hose full of black. Amazingly, I sorted this with no spills and not too much odor! My wife and I still laugh about this today whenever someone says black tank! 😂
I have to say that the little "stool" is cool. As you were sitting on it around 9:30 into the video, it almost looked as if you were doing your business as you were doing your business. :) We have been lucky. In 500 nights or so on the road we have only had 1 "semi poopsie" for lack of a better description. One of the clips on the hose failed, but thankfully, I think anyway, my hand was still on black valve, so needless to say it got pushed back in even quicker than it had been pulled. Continued safe travels....
Ounce again Great video, always something to learn in RV life! Trish, if no room for the big Air Fryer - try a mini 2 Quarts Air Fryer. It's perfect for us two. 😊
Great episode!!! And some good tips, I have to say cutting to Marc tasting brownies with the gloves on after taking care of the tank business made me gag just a little!!!😂😂😂
This is why I like the cassette toilets. The drainage tanks seem to leak often. Yes you may have grey water leaking but not bathroom liquids. The dump stations can be really gross at times. It all how you want to handle it.
** Our Kleen Tank rep said NOT to use original pine sole due to the actual pine oil causing things to stick. He said to used one of the scented pine sold like lavender*** We switched to the same homemade tank treatment after the same company cleaned our tanks. We’d been using liquify and the “peanut butter” that had accumulated was copious and disgusting. 🤢🤮 I will say to use the back flow technique they teach along with the built in Sani-flush that comes installed on your camper to remove the most amount of “stuff”. I’ll back flow, then use the Sani-flush a few times each time I empty our tanks. It takes a bit of time, but definitely helps clean out the tank. We also put back in 15 gallons of clean water along with the treatment after flushing. I also spray the soles of my shoes with a bleach solution after using dump stations.
We have the Contoure combo microwave/convection oven/air fryer combo in our GT30 instead of the propane oven. Not 'great' at any of the three tasks, but above average (imo) and works great for us.
I have been lucky in we haven't had any big spills. Did have a time the parks sewer line backed up. Some times you can do everything right and still have a little mess.
Got distracted once and left the gray valve open! Fortunately, we're in a class-a so the connections are enclosed and I keep a clear elbow attached and capped. When I saw what I had done, I closed the valve and grabbed a couple of trash bags to capture the gray water.
When we RV'ed we would place dawn dishwashing soap in our tank and add water and when we were traveling the tanks would get washed. When we returned, we would take a hose, place it in a black tank and move it around, empty the tank, and repeat. We would always have a little water with Dawn dishwashing soap in the tank. Never did we have smells.
We’ve always used a little Dawn mixed w Calgon liquid, never knew of the pearls before, and water. I think 30+ years ago we old time Airstreamers called it the geo method. Has worked great for us for decades, never a smelly odor in any of our rigs, and still doing it today. I can’t tolerate the scent of Pine Sol so will continue doing what has been our go to. God Bless Caleb in his recovery. All of you are in my prayers. It isn’t an easy or fast recovery but it’s possible. I’ve recently gone through similar surgery so wish him well. Hugs.
When you’re traveling a long distance or possibly bad roads, how much water do you hold in your freshwater tank? I know when we’re dry camping and we know we’re going right to a certain spot we will fill the tank. But if we’re going a long ways, and the roads could be possibly very bumpy,, we only put enough water in the tanks to flush the toilet. Would like to know how much water you carry and if anyone else could comment that would be great.
Love the classic clip at the beginning of Marc dragging the hose.
Happy Sunday everyone

Use the Lavendar Pine Sol! You are welcome.
Awesome video, as always! After adding the pine-sol/calgon solution to each tank I go back and add a capful to each drain so it sits in the p-trap. Smells great and I think it keeps the traps cleaner.
great information...saving this. Thank you for sharing. Still praying for a quick recovery for Caleb. 🙏

I loved the blue gloves on while licking brownie dough! Charlie and the new toy at the end of the video is precious! Happy travels.

I ❤️ your videos!! Fun, great places to see and very informative! It doesn't hurt you guys are such a nice couple too!❤❤

Had no idea about the layers for Harvest Host, thank you!
Hey thanks for all the hints! My sensors have never been accurate. From day one! 🤷🏽♀ It does bug me after I empty both black and gray that they don't say 0%. I mean, you do that work, you want the gratification of seeing 0%! I've done all the tank blaster stuff, etc. It's a Sprinter van (Pleasure-Way Ascent) with very small tankage, so I dump whenever I can. And a secret--- it's only #1. I've had many van peeps admit to this practice. Another resource for dump stations is your Garmin GPS device if you have the RV version. I have the Garmin 1095 and love it.
So, hope to see you out there! Cheers!!
OMG!!

Thank you for all the great information and also, an easy way to clean tanks! You’re the bomb! Hopefully, Caleb’s doing well.
We have been using the Calgon/Pinesol mix for 3 years and it’s a game changer.
Great episode and very much like the Flush King & Pine Sol/Calgon suggestion. We have some stubborn tank sensors on our Airstream that are all over the board so hoping this might do the trick! Many thanks!
Thank you for the scoop on the poop. Speedy recovery Caleb.

Thank you so much for your honesty with your helpful comments. Camping is fun, but it can be a challenge. Happy travels and keep your daydreams coming!
😅 I felt the same way! 😂
Another great video!!!! Thanks!!! Kind of (funny) scary watching Marc lick the brownie mix off his gloved hand while the video subject is poopsie!!!😂
Been using the Flush King for the past year and it really cleans out the black tank before we get back to our storage unit.
Keep a spray can of cheap vegetable oil with your sewer hoses. I use it on my 90 degree screw on fitting going into the in-ground campground sewer fitting. Knocks most of the debris off and makes it easy to screw in.
We use the Kleen Tank mix and Unique either liquid or powder together. Unique has been around for a long time.
We have been watching and enjoying KYD for years. Your tips on handling the black tank are great. But one to add: make sure you take the plug out of the black hose!

I am not sure I'll ever eat another brownie
Sure would like to see Trish make rolls and bread on an episode.
That's coming.
I have to say that the little "stool" is cool.

Tricia I’m excited to see how you do sour dough in your RV!
Thanks Mark this was interesting and very informative. I hope Caleb is better.
Great episode!!! And some good tips, I have to say cutting to Marc tasting brownies with the gloves on after taking care of the tank business made me gag just a little!!!😂😂😂
Awe man.. that thumbnail is cracking me up. 😂 Happy New Year KYD!
Very insightful! Thank you for posting! 🙏🏼☺️
Marc dragging the stinky slinky along the highway never gets old. I have not been there... yet... and I don't plan to lol.
I think this video will retire that clip, but I like it.
❤🐾❤ that Charlie sure can dance he’s a happy boy
This is why I like the cassette toilets. The drainage tanks seem to leak often. Yes you may have grey water leaking but not bathroom liquids.
The dump stations can be really gross at times. It all how you want to handle it.
This episode should have been called the Double Brownie - Brownie Flush 🤣
Y'all are so creative. Who would have thought of eating brownie batter out of a bowl with gloves on, except you?!? Haha!
I have been RVing for two years and I didn’t know about the clips for the range vent fan.
Love this episode!!!
Genius, you made it fun to watch. I think I'll go make some brownies....
Get better soon Caleb! brownies and poopsies, oi vie!
In Pennsylvania, some of the Turnpike rest stops have RV dump stations. $10 fee
Courtesy Blur... TY. Those darn brownies! I joke, can't wait to have some of those brownies!
Great episode guys. I loved the thumbnail, it was hilarious 😆!

How is Kaloeb doing? I hope he's getting well and loving his mom taking care of him. 🤗💖
I like daily life vlogs with light to no travel, cooking, exploring local and family vlogs.
Great information. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Sunday fun day KYD family! What a fun video💩
Laugh, Smiles, and 🤢🤮. Another great episode and great reminders.
Best thumbnail ever!!! 😂😂😂
Well that's one! I think I'm going to stop counting 😂
This is the BEST edited video I've ever seen...segway to the brownies 😂❤
Got distracted once and left the gray valve open! Fortunately, we're in a class-a so the connections are enclosed and I keep a clear elbow attached and capped. When I saw what I had done, I closed the valve and grabbed a couple of trash bags to capture the gray water.
best thumbnail photo... well done, sir!
If the bathroom door is closed? Knock first! Real simple, no hardware required.
Good one dad.
😂 yeah, because kids remember and do EVERYTHING you tell them! 🤭
Boy, wrong night to sit down with dinner and a video 😅🤣😂
Yeah, sorry 😂
Mark.. a video on your workout routine, daily consumption and how to keep yourself so ripped and in the best shape. We need that motivation.
Wow. I can make brownies in the air fryer? Who knew.
The thumbnail!!!!!😂😂❤❤❤

I like the recipe for cleaning 10/2 Pine sol to Calgon but once you mix it how much do you put in the tank(half/All)?
1/2 cup per tank for tanks
Happy Sunday to you
Thinking of Caleb and what he is going through. I’ve done it myself(not fun)!
Ugh. Sorry. It really is not fun!
Not fun at all AND requires more patience than most could dream of having.
* Good times * tapping the tanks, ..... dumping style 🧤 👀. P.S. Charley 🦮 has it all, chewing his toy, wagging his tail & loving y'all. 💌
Ha ha ha expanding stool 😂
A missed opp for me!
Indeed 😊
Good evening KYD!
Hello!
Water water water. It's the best think for RV tanks (grey or black).
We have found some Welcome centers have free dump stations too.
Brownies with the gloves 😂
Some Rest Stops have dump tanks as well! My wife couldn’t handle you eating brownies with the gloves on, I thought it was hilarious!!
Waiting all day for your video.
When you started mixing that brownie mix I thought was going to be a whole different video.....
So, do you put the “potion” down every new tank and how much? Use in black and gray tanks?
Cousin Eddy enters the chat.
😂
We have a cap for each end of the hose so the tube stays clean.
That's a good idea.
How is the DCR and Pusher Intake working out? Zero issues? Great pointers on dump stations. Thanks!
Zero issues on the DCR. Hard to say on the pusher.
@@KeepYourDaydreamThanks, we are having Arod install the DCR and Pusher intake on our F350 Tremor. Happy and Safe Travels!
Crazy that I don’t have an RV but found this episode interesting
It’s Sunday Night! Let’s Go😇😇
Where do you buy Calgon? We’ve searched multiple times at brick and mortar and never find it.
What Air Fryer do you recommend, and do you ever use wax paper when cooking in your Air Fryer to keen from making a mess? Thanks...
Oh, totally off topic question, but is maintenance. Does your Airstream have an Alde Heat/Hot Water? If so, have you flushed/changed the glycol yet?
New black tank owner, what’s your thoughts on RV toilet paper vs. regular toilet paper?
When you’re traveling a long distance or possibly bad roads, how much water do you hold in your freshwater tank?
I know when we’re dry camping and we know we’re going right to a certain spot we will fill the tank. But if we’re going a long ways, and the roads could be possibly very bumpy,, we only put enough water in the tanks to flush the toilet.
Would like to know how much water you carry and if anyone else could comment that would be great.
