By the way, the issue with the motorcycle was the battery just died from being in the cold and not on a tender for a month. I think the pop noise was just a backfire when the battery shut off. Our lithium battery has a self-protection/restart feature where it shuts itself off when it gets below a certain charge.

This is a salute to Tara’s skill in putting the video’s together, just a great job, thanks, Wayneandcarla from Windsor Ontario Canada
Thanks for your service chad We really live your adventures and look forward to hopefully running into you two on the road sometime
I'm retired Air Force so would feel right at home hearing the aircraft. Love that sound
Great energy guys! I enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for showing people things they hope to experience one day! Keep living and exploring!!!!
Thank you for protecting your precious pup in the water!!!!!!❤️🐾❤️🐾
We love watching your videos. We don't have a trailer and we never camp, but every week we get inspired by you. Who knows, maybe one day we'll meet on the road! Thank you for posting.
Another Awesome week, Great Job Chad getting the bike in the Rig! Great shots on the water, the Kayak looks so fun and easy... Enjoy your week Chad, Tara, and Daisy
Loved this video! Love that you guys treated yourselves to your favorite campground! Thanks for sharing!
Been bingewatching all your videos! Love this site!
Love these Florida Keys videos. You are so relaxed, having fun, lookin' good, y'all. Please give Daisy a big snout smooch for me.
Great video guy’s, great scenery. Enjoyed watching.
great vid ! relatable , drew me in really fast , great hosts too // happy trails !!
Loved the video and the narration! Spent some time in the Keys the past 2 winters and plan to do 3 months in 2021-22. Your video was very well done and captured so many of the reasons why camping in the Keys is worth it. Believe it or not, there are two or three campgrounds that actually run a lot more than Boyd's! Looking forward to watching future adventures.
I just need to tell you how much my husband and I LOVE you guys! Your information and how you deliver it is Amazing! Thank you so much.. Safe Travels! Dave & Michele
What a beautiful place. Daisy is so adorable. Thank you sharing.
We converted a 6x12 utility trailer into a camper and went to Big Pine Key in March. Love the Keys. I can’t imagine towing your rig. You got skills!
I really like how complimentary you are with each other.
👍
Hi Chad and Tara and Daisy!
This was a great video. Love the keys it looked beautiful when you were on the water with the kayak. That kayak looks pretty cool. Glad you had great weather for it. It’s a good thing you got out of the Carolinas when you did because there was a bad stint coming that way today which is Thursday. I don’t know how much our states can take to more damage. Daisy looked so cute in her life jacket. I did not know that they had something that cute. Wood fire pizza sounds so good. I have not had that in a long while. Have a great week and see you soon! Stay safe.
Enjoyed this video. Your kayaking trip was very inviting trying to imagine I’m there on this cold day in Kentucky.
Thanks for the campground review including cell coverage!
Hi to you all, we were just in Florida and the keys first week of March, and the drive was beautiful 👍 back in NC now. Thanks for sharing your your travels.
I so love you guys!❤️❤️ I enjoy your outings so much! It’s like I am with you! You two are adorable! Work & play so well together! Hi Daisy! Looking good in that life vest! Thanks! On to the next part!
Great video! Really enjoy it when you show how you get into the campgrounds and how you manage to get out. And the aircraft wouldn’t bother me cause I work at a fire department at an airport. There use to be a base in Myrtle beach and every year when we went down there would always enjoy watching and listening to the jets as they were taking off and landing right over the beach. Key West is on our bucket list. Also thanks for letting us know where you stop and stayed at on the way down. May have to look some of them up when we are traveling. Safe travels. Now have to go and watch part 2. 👍👍
Love this location, you two are so informative thank you
Great video - Key West looks like a must visit for next Winter!
We’re on our way there in just couple weeks 😍 thanks for the awesome and informative video!
you guys do the best editing and the best music in your videos..always fun...
Boyds is amazing!! Fortunate to have had a tent site for a night this year and can't wait to go back with my new RV:) Thank you for all your videos your knowledge is so valuable-my admiration for you both is great!
Glad you folks survived the big freeze....Great vid!!
Like always, Very well done video. Your editing skills are off the chart.
You guys are so positive with each other ,pleasant to watch and learn about a - RVing !
🙏
We can’t wait to visit this area. Another great video!
Awesome video yet again. Love the music👍 best part? the out-takes. No just kidding the whole trip was the best part. Merry Christmas then? Well done on the bike v ramp and reverse life. ( that helps with help tho) 👍
Wow!! looks cool, happy journey, thanks for sharing
Love watching your adventures, hopefully soon things will open up again so we can go south 😀
Love watching you guys keep the video’s coming god bless 😃
That little puppy life vest was so cute!
As an aviation enthusiast I would love the air base traffic. Sooooooo cool!!!
It definitely is a beautiful park , love the space area you were in !! 🥰🥰Safe Travels
We love the Keys! Enjoy 😊 stay safe and healthy! Safe travels!
Oh my gosh! I have got to get down to the Keys with the RV. This looks like a blast and you guys are awesome for sharing your adventures with us. Man, I need to get some ebikes! right now we have escooters that work well but bikes would be even better. Thank you. Thank you! Keep them coming.
This is the first of your videos I have watched. Saw ya'll kayaking on "you me and the rv" and thought I'd check out your videos. I made it to 8:13 and had to pause for this comment. Awesome! I really like the way you show the entrance to each campground as you arrive and turn in. I hope you do that on the other videos I'm getting ready to binge watch! Great job. I'm now going to hit subscribe, the little bell and resume this Key West video. Good job!
Welcome to our channel, Mark! 😊
I want to thank you for the information on the Pet Carrier. I mean to do that a couple of videos before when I ask. My mother has a 5 pound Chihuahua who has a great personality. She loves to ride and now loves the pet carrier. It's great thanks again.
Thanks for all your videos!
Great video! You guys make driving that 5th wheel look easy!!
Key West Key Lime Pie Co. is worth a visit. I always enjoyed renting a place in Marathon to save money, walking on the old seven mile bridge, and driving over to Key West for site seeing.
Awesome, inspirational content from the three of you. Happy trails!!
Chad is a bad ass when it comes to backing that beast!
I'm just getting into commenting on any UA-cam site's, but I want you two to know that my husband and I enjoy everything that you two are doing. We have actually watched your video's for awhile and learned something from your solar system you installed. We actually decided to up the size of our small solar system on our Forest River Bumper Pull, not as drastic in size that you put on your RV. We are learning many things from your to do's and not to do's. if you will. Thank You, to the both of you. Have fun, be safe and know we are watching with 5 Stars and Big Thumbs Up to you :)
Thanks for watching, and for the comment! 😊
Very resourceful positioning your rig to coast your dead bike into the garage. We’ve started carrying a portable winch for those times when things don’t go as planned. Came in real handy last fall when my wife’s motorcycle got a flat rear tire on the Blue Ridge Pkwy.
Key West. Home Sweet Home. Campground on base (Sigsbee Park) has been closed forever due to covid. Hopefully it will reopen this summer. Boyd's has been around forever and is wonderful but crazy expensive! Great people too. Thanks for the tour!!!
These KW videos are the best!
Never a boring minute down there.
Really enjoyed this video, especially with little Daisy.
For some reason YT hasn’t been recommending your videos so I didn’t realize you’d made several since last time I watched one.
17:06 recognize a lot of this sidewalk - logged a lot of miles over the years running up and down that stretch - thanks for the tour of KW
Ok, y’all make me want to take the trailer to Key West! Great video! Thx, folks.
This park looks amazing. Haven't been to Key west yet. Also glad to see you really like the Oru. I am impressed with the seats, I did not know they had such good ones. Leaving my kayaks behind is one of the sad things I am dealing with in getting a rig. Thanks for wearing life jackets!
Great video you two!! Per usual! :)
You need to make sure you go lobster hunting before the season closes soon. It's a blast not to mention delicious. We grew up going down to the keys every mini lobster season as well as the regular season. We started way back when you traveled on the bridges that were so narrow we were always afraid out driver side side view mirror would hit the income vehicles driver side mirror. Now they are used as fishing Piers.
Gorgeous! I usually love my space and lots of elbow room, but I'd give that up occasionally for the water, sand, and sunsets!
Same here!
I did the same thing with a 1300 lb trike. It died on top of a hill. Parked the trailer half way down the hill and let it coast down the hill and it went up up the trailer. Just traded the trike off for a new carry over 2020 Indian Chieftain Limited. Great video by the way. Some day I’ll make it to Key West . Its on my bucket list.
Enjoy watching your travels...
We don’t need no stinkin power... do need downhill 🙈. We bypassed Boyd’s wasn’t sure of spacing watching this maybe should have given it a try. Florida keys is our destination April May this year heading your way starting April 8. Of course you will be in a new location. The sound of Freedom Keepers has never been an issue and the sound inside an Eagle for 28 years was like no other. Retired and loving it ( ok I miss it I confess) Without ground support there is no mission Thank you for your dedicated service I salute you... 😉👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It seems every RV UA-camr went to Key West last winter. This must be the 4th Key West Video I have seen. Looking forward to new content. We purchases the Sena connected bike helmets we saw in the eBike video and we love them! Makes bike riding alone or together more fun and enjoyable. I actually have the same color Tara has.
I was thinking the same thing. It seems like everyone went down to the keys this year, but we didn't see anyone lol
We love Key West. Even though I am not a city, people, and congestion person, I loved every minute of it. We were there in March 2016 and stayed at Leo's Campground. If you like Ceviche, it was delicious at the Hogfish bar and Grill. Happy travels
One of our favorite UA-cam channel.
Looks like a great time, will have to try and get there 😀
I ride in the winter and saw your comments about the lithium, Probably not common enough for you, but Since I planned on riding below 40F I bought a lithium 3x more cranking amps than factory. I now can start easily, but warm it up first, I crank for a few seconds, let it sit about 15-30 seconds (let battery heat soak) then it cranks right up!
Another great video! Would be a long drive from Minnesota but maybe in a few years we can drag our RV down there for a winter getaway, looks like a gorgeous campground.
We continue to learn so much from your channel 😎🏝 Our first Key West trip is scheduled for October this year...we are reviewing all your KW videos to prepare for a once in a lifetime trip🌼 So glad you include everything from sites and resorts to great joints to eat at...we love you guys💜💙❤🏝🏝🏝🍹🍹🍹 Happy Trails🏝
Happy to see the video of Fred on the 7 mile bridge. I use the same type 5 life jackets. We love Roostica, the same owners have geiger key marina and Hogfish grill. Nice job.
We were going to put "Fred" on the screen, but I figured most people wouldn't get it! 😜
Finally! The answer! Why did the chicken cross the road! 🤣😂😅 I just showed my little girl! So fun! Thanks for sharing! Hugs to all 3 of you!
😁
Tara you have gotten so good at video editing! The transition from the opening to the first song of this video was really good! I enjoy watching your skills!
Thank you so much!!
I have been on military orders twice at the Naval Air Station in Key West. Obviously we stayed on base for our accommodations but went out every night after work to see something or eat fabulous food. All if us had a great time. But the best time was when my sister flew down for the weekend and we had a blast together. Went walking all over, sailing, parasailing, looked at all the naval equipment, looked over campgrounds for a future stay, watched the chickens roam around, had a couple of awesome meals, met up with some of my Navy buddies plus much more.
You’re so correct though on the aircraft background noise. It’s deafening at times but different to see around a highly popular destination where people go on vacation. I see aircraft all the time in my job so it’s something I am use to but that doesn’t mean I want to see it continually. The best relaxation was walking to a pub or dinner spot in the evening when the air travel noise was minimal.
This looks like such fun.
Good video guys. Thanks!
Great video ! You guys are great....hope our paths cross on a RV trip !
Nice work Chad, patience is a huge part of backing up smoothly, almost as much as your teammate spotting for you. Though, I recommend you avoid poking Tara's eye out if you want her to keep the spotting job. That would be fun to be that close to Key West, have to add that to the list of when we can do those really long trips. PS: Daisey looked hilarious in her vest with chad holding her. That look she gave the camera!
That was just so, so good. Makes me cry, now, to is Daisy. We lost our Yorkie, Lily, on Feb. 5th.
Oh no! We are so so sorry to hear about your Lily 😢💗
I have to push dead Harleys onto a trailer all the time. It's great when I can get a good downhill like you had, gravity is awesome lol. Was able to load a dead tri glide that way with no pushing. Chad for someone with not a lot of experience I was impressed.
First time watching and I have to say you do a great job putting your video together.
Thanks.. thats all Tara! 😊
So thats where Hershey's Kisses come from...hmm. I'm not eating those anymore...😆
That kayak looks so cool and easy to manage for just about anyone. I have to say...Tara looked like a super model with all that breeze blowing through her hair. You could model that doggy purse you put Daisy in. I can't wait to visit Key West. Two of my sisters and their husband's are going there in a couple weeks with some friends. Safe Travels and Happy Trails.
My wife & I sold our house in North Georgia and closed it on December 21,2021. We were interested and we’re going to buy an RV after watching your videos and Enjoy the Journey videos. Both are very informative ! So we were riding around in 4 wheels last October in the Daytona area looking for RV parks to park our RV that we were going to buy after the house closed. But after several months of looking at RVs ad your videos that you and Enjoy the journey make. I decided me being 70 was alittle much for a 70 year old man to maintain. While driving around looking for RV parks we had to make a so called pit stop and it was an office for a 55+ community. Long story short, we bought a home in the community on December 23rd and we’re able to move in that day. So we didn’t have to spend Christmas at a truck stop until we found something. Anyway we bought our home in Port Orange, Florida. We’re about 4 1/2 miles from Daytona Beach and 4 miles from Daytona Speedway. Last week was Daytona Bike Weeks 80 anniversary. I mentioned to my wife I wonder if you guys were there since you have that beautiful bike. Every time we got out last week we looked to see if you were on your bike during that time.. anyway as a new Floridian from NW Georgia and those 20 degree temps.. Welcome to Florida and maybe someday we see you guys here in the Daytona area ! Keep up with your fantastic videos of your travels and keeping the uninformed, informed !! 👍🇺🇸❤️👍
Great Video, Boyd's Campground will be my next Trip to the Keys.
A fast, Thank You for sharing your super trip.
Very nice video. Your Glacier NP video helped us to decide on that destination for 2021, so maybe a Keys trip in the next year or two. Thanks for the videos.
Glad it was helpful! We think you are going to love Glacier!!! 🤩
GREAT JOB BACKING UP THAT HUGE CAMPER AND DIDNT EVEN LOOK WORRIED WAY TO GO. 👍👍 2. THUMBS UP😇
Chad you're da man! Good job! We can't wait to go to the keys!
Great video !
Great Video -- thank you for sharing it with us
Chad, your the best with the backing and moving stuff. That's the content I like to see. We are weeks away in Maine to finally move our Sundance from our frozen driveway.
I think its his bad ass helper. lol
Your SITE is awesome. I do like your ship. That kayak is huge. LOL
cool thanks be safe have fun
I have heard on some other youtube videos that it is much less expensive to park your RV up on the Keys and then drive down to Key West for the day.
I lived with my family in Key west from 1952 to 1957 when my father was stationed at the Navy Submarine base that has since been decommissioned. AS I remember, there was not a lot of tidal exchange in Key West due to being not far from the equator.
There used to be a Stock Car Race track on Stock Island back in the mid-fifties. Water in the infield, and water and Mangrove bushes around the track.
His previous duty station was Grotton Cn., where I was borne. Great Navy planning. We drove straight through, I remember pounding on my father's shoulders to keep him awake once we got past Miami. I remember that we made the trip in 3 and a half days. Most of the servicemen did that with the idea that they were granted so many days travel time, and if they could make the trip a quick one they saw that as having some free time off before they had to report to duty that did not impact their leave time.
There also used to be a Navy Seaplane annex base located near what used to be Perry Court where we lived. At the time we were there Perry Court was a Navy Housing site filled with 8 plex hurricane-proof apartments. From what I have seen through Google earth, the apartments are all gone and what appears to be large private residences on large lots fill that area, but it is still listed as Perry Court.
When we lived in Key West, the "7 Mile bridge was a 2 lane road suspended above the water, you no doubt saw it as you drove south on the new bridge. Folks used to fish off the old bridge from little setouts located along the bridge. Their ride would let them off, and drive on, and pick them up after several hours of fishing.
It was a great place to live for a kid in the second through seventh grade. My older brother and I fished in Garrison Bight where the fishing boats tied up when not out on the Gulf or Atlantic full of tourists fishing. We caught mostly Yellowtail and Mangrove Snapper, and by snorkeling sometimes we could catch the Spiny lobster all very good eating seafood. I think that the high point of land is 14' above sea level, so there were lots of high curbs to handle the runoff from the tropical rainstorms. I remember that sometimes during thunderstorms, some of our dishes were actually broken by the thunder. I have a lot of great memories from that time in my life.
Our next move was to New Jersey in the middle of the worst snowstorm in 50 years. Leave it to the military for planning!
Thank you for the memories! But there were literally very few if any places that I recognized from when we lived in Key West... Progress I guess.
Can't wait for 2nd vid!!
Outstanding stuff, show us the sunset Please!!!
Hard to beat that view from the dining table. Now I want an e-bike even more now!
Thanks' you two
Key West is the best place for an RV experience! Thanks for showing us your journeys!! ps. I live in Maine where the US ROUTE 1 start and you're at the VERY end of the ROUTE 1! Enjoy
Great video editing!
We stayed at Miami Everglades RV park a couple of weeks ago...they are very tight sites. Had to back the 38ft MH about 40 yrds to get out. Hope ya’ll enjoyed the stay in the keys. Thanks for the video!
Love your videos. My wife and I want to go to Key West. My dad served in the Army there in the early 1960s. He was part of President Kennedy's honor guard when he came to visit the troops. We have a picture of him with the president. Looking forward to part 2.
If I lived in the states I would do what you both do. Such a beautiful country you have
