ℹ️ About the Episode
We're back on the road for the season! We have so much planned for this year that we're excited to share with you. As you know, we're doing the "National Park Blitz" and have 6-8 National Parks on our route, but we also have other events in the mix like music festivals, graduations, weddings, campus tours, and meet-ups. RVing allows us to participate in life's variety while still keeping our own schedule. In this episode, we get out of the KYD Bungalow by 9 p.m. Yes, a bit late to get started, but we stayed at the same Boondockers Welcome we visited a few episodes ago, making our late arrival predictable and safe. Had we left the following morning, we would have found hours of other things to do, cutting into our short time with Missy & Bunny. Many people wonder why we're on such a tight schedule. It's a fair question. After all, RV life is supposed to be relaxing! Carson didn't go back to school from Spring Break until two days before our friend’s wedding. Trish says we can do both... and so we do! In this episode, we get to tour the Alliance RV Paradigm 310R and a Grand Design Imagine 22RB. We also spend 5 nights at a Boondockers Welcome, enjoying the farm and fresh air. We found out that Charlie is a little chicken chaser!

I don’t want to be addicted to watching UA-cam videos but you all have hooked me. I am sucked into how much you seem to not just love each other, but how much you like each other. Your passion and connection clearly shows in your kids too. And, of course, Charlie is the star of the show. Your filmmaking creativity is amazing too. It must take a considerable number of hours to produce such wonderful storytelling and video compilations. Wonderful indeed. Thank you!
My wife and I are experienced RV'ers having taken trips in US, Australia (twice), and New Zealand. We are leaving for Alaska for a six week RV trip there this summer. We hopped on UA-cam to see if we could get some ideas, tips and tricks about Alaska and came across your channel. Not only did we completely enjoy your Alaska season, we went back to Season 1 and watched every episode and are now up to date. You and your family are amazing and we wanted to say we appreciate your passion, willingness to serve others, and sense of humor! I can't of a better scene that shows your humbleness and humor than the one where Marc is walking your stinky slinky back to the rig along the highway.
Best of luck on your future journeys and we look forward to watching them. And we are glad you finally made a stop in Oklahoma!
Marc, you knocked it outta the park with the soundtrack...again! And, hey...dyin' for a tour of the St. Pete bungalow! I know you're on the Big Trip but I'd love to see the bungalow!
Not sure how you are crushing that music every week but I like it!😃👍🙌🕺
I got lucky this week! Thanks Steve. Did you see your shoutout in the Amazon live?
@@KeepYourDaydream Dang…that was a big “Give drink to the Thirsty”night here on Main St.😃🍻… I’ll check it out! 👍
Marc mentioned “blowing the campfire smoke away” with his new found fan. I know it’s one more thing to carry but I highly recommend a Solo Stove. I looked at them and held out a long time before buying one because my wife wouldn’t join me at the campfire because she couldn’t stand the smoke. The Solo stove is awesome and truly smoke free. We were amazed! Two trips now and my honey has spent several hours by the fire with me. Worth it! (FYI, I have no affiliation with Solo Stove Co, just a happy customer). Keep up the journey guys.
Suggest you either hook that propane hose up (at least a little) or find caps to cover holes. Dirt dobbers and other critters will block them. Then you will find yourself digging them out in the middle of the night rather than a simple knob turn.
Chickens, Tractor Supply, & air horns...this episode was awesome!
You are our people! :)
What more can you ask for in life?
CAT Scales too!! 0:20
@@PatrickWagz If you're talking about air horns you have to include CAT scales too! 😂
I’m only half finished watching this episode, but can I just say, watching Caleb get so grown up looking, that I am going to miss him when he goes off to school. The three of you play off of each other so well. He adds that je ne sais quoi of comedic moments. So much fun.
3 things… spot on for propane from Tractor Supply! 2-Boondockers Welcome has blessed us with some amazing friends as well as fantastic stays (thanks to Big John and Future Solutions) and 3- a woman’s dream and a man’s chore….Caleb is so insightful!🤣
I supervised the repainting of that blue bridge you drove over on 526! We bought our first RV last month and it’s being delivered next week. We’re selling our house and moving to northern Idaho at the end of the month to full time in our RV and you guys are one of my wife and I’d main inspirations!
Loved Dick's train set! Great to see Bunny & Missy again - they're a hoot.
Our cheap propane tank hack: Bought a luggage tag, wrote ACTIVE on it, attached it to our tank in use, and now we easily know which tank to turn on 🙂 Enjoy all the videos, keep it up!
On my dual propane tanks. I have 3 clip on tags. 1) saying "Empty" , 2) saying "Full" , 3) saying "Using". I just clip which ever one makes sense to correct propane bottle. I got this idea from my Dad. Aonther Idea he gave me was if you need a check list before moving, then put list in front speedometer. Then when you go to move the vechile, your check list is right there when starting the vehicle and you will see it.
To add to short travel days, last year was the first year my wife and I traveled with a trailer (Grand Design Reflection 297RSTS) and based on KYD comments from previous years, we tried to limit our daily mileages to 300 miles give or take. (I recall one of Marc and Trish's talks with another camper that used a 3,3,3 rule. IF I remember correctly, that was 300 miles, get there by 3:00 pm, and something else I don't recall at the moment.). We found this to be a great plan. Much over the 300 miles and we were more tired at our campground arrivals. We're not morning people so the "get there by 3:00 pm" isn't such a big deal for us. I just wish I could remember what that darned old other 3 stood for...! Last year we did Northern Michigan, Norther Minnesota, and Maine. This year we're doing Northern Michigan again, Ohio, New York, and Maine again.
We just took delivery on our Airstream International 30RB on Friday! We are so excited to get on the road. It all started because we stumbled across one of your videos nearly 3 years ago! Your videos and your message have a great impact. We have watched nearly every video since. Thanks for the motivation to just get out there. It has been an adventure to get to this point, with 4 kids, and we won’t be full time, but we cant wait. You guys are awesome!
Welcome to RVing. Enjoy the ride
Chicken fly high, chicken fly low, chicken fly around Charlie, chicken don't fly no more! 😂🐓🍗
All i gotta say is Trish is so beautiful!! Lucky man, Marc. Love watching your videos and seeing yall in a good mood in every video, it brings me joy
Mark & Trish- thank you both for being consistent. I started following you a few years ago when I began to travel for work full time. I hate moving in and out of apartments every 3-6 months and it’s hard on the dogs too. I’ve wanted my own space.
We have been looking and going back and forth between a towable or drivable..
Currently I’m in Florida and I’ve had a floor plan in mind that reminded me of a “home” and I came across a Thor Challenger That has essentially three separate” rooms” a front living room, a kitchen and a bed room so I bought it’ then told Shawn my other half to come down so he can see it (not k owing I already put a down payment) well he liked it too- we brought it “home” to where I am staying while on this assignment and come to find out he had been secretly watching your episodes too. Once home he had your essentials list and had shopped your Amazon store etc!
We have it out now on a shame down trip and are making a list of things we need or want.
We hit the keys all the way to key west- stayed at a newly rebuilt KOA on sugarloaf key which was stunning and now we are headed to Marco Island for a few more days before heading back to Inverness where I’m Working til July.
I am hoping to go on my next assignment and stay in the rv unless it’s on a big city. I’m a travel ER Director and have been a nurse for 34 years.
It was you two that inspired me to really see I can do this and live a comfortable life on my own terms.
Thank you both
Mary M
Check out Bolt locks. They have coupling locks, hitch pin locks and padlocks. They come "unkeyed" and you can key them to your trucks ignition key. First time you put your key in, your turn them about 180 degrees and set the tumblers. Then you always have your key to your locks. Someone once stole a buddies Polaris Razor and trailer, by taking the hitch pin out and transferring hitch, ball, trailer and Razor to another truck and driving off.
Quick tip for finding propane: I often search for welding supply companies. They buy all kinds of gasses in bulk and often times are cheaper because they might have a 10,000 gallon tank instead of a 1000 gallon tank.
Come on, no one is going to give props for the "Princess Bride" reference? 😊
Love the air horn.
When I was a young'in my dad had a Travco custom RV build. I was 19 driving down the road. He never had a doubt I could handle it.. to this day, my friends ask me to drive their unusual trailers. I love it..
So... it only took 40 years a 3 kids later. I purchased a Imagine 22RBE. This weekend May 5&6th is our 1st trip, with her, to louden state park in Illinois, on the Rock River. I'm so excited. I can't even sleep. I logged into your Amazon purchases. Fabulous help. I would have been so lost.
Your such great roll models, easy to relate to. Thanks for helping me with the next exciting chapter of my life 💘
“Alligator eyes!” 🥺🥰🐾
I ordered my shirt today! We’re ready to start going on some camping trips. It’s that time of year where we really start to get excited about summer - camping, boating, campfires, grilling outside, and all that fun stuff.
Hey Chad. How goes it?
Trish I loved the two dresses you wore and looked great on you. Oh no Charlie the chicken chaser. Well I love the chicken chaser. Give him a big hug for me. Loved the tour of Charleston as like places like that. At least Caleb knows where all the girls are. Tractor Supply is one of my favorite places to go. Thanks, safe travels and Love y'all.
Ya' Know....whenever I wake up on a Monday morning in a "this is not going well, so far" mood, all I have to do is watch a KYD episode and a smile comes around and life just gets better!
I’m heading to my first “Boondockers Welcome” site today! Picked up my new ORV MS Glacier Peak F28RKS in December 2021 and I’ve camped at least once a month since! Retirement plan is great!!!! I’m so glad I Kept my Daydream!!! Tractor Supply 👍. Got to break camp, Big thumbs up 👍to San Francisco North/Petaluma KOA! Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful. As always so many fun options for kids of all ages, petting farm, climbing wall, bounce pillow and more. Lovely pine meets wetlands/delta ocean scenery and wine country (Napa seems unlimited lol). So excited to keep exploring such a great area!!! Goodbye KOA, hello Tom in Fairfield!!!!
It's those little special places with special people that makes traveling such a great gift of life.
Keep the rubber on the road and safe travels.
Please don’t get offended but I read the “Hot Tamale “ on your truck and I was like “yes she is “!!!
Oh I love these little mini vacations you give me 🥰
Blessings
Oh and I think Charlie was a little perturbed that he couldn’t chase chickens, so he killed his duck 😉
Trish is "Hot Tamale" 2 weeks in a row.
Wow, your first tour of an Alliance? That company has phenomenal RVs and amazing service.
Fail. Now that we're on the road, it's hard to know when one episode ends and another one begins. I'll do better!
@@KeepYourDaydream it's been fun just to see if and what it will change to.
Think it said Hot Tomato?
My 2 favorite things..Charleston and Alliance. We were stationed in Charleston for 10 years. I miss it so much! And we have an Alliance 365RD. Great company. 😊
Wow! I was so excited that you were visiting such good friends... it felt like I just got to join in too! Thanks for sharing such great moments!
I love that after all these years you can still learn to do things differently. Love your videos!
We LOVE Charleston! The Food! The People! The History! The Architecture! We LOVE IT ALL!! And Oh Charlie!!!!
Hey Trish! My children asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day and I asked them to get your cookbook and spices.... I was thrilled when the cookbook and spices showed up today. I am excited to have new blends and recipes! :)
I love Charleston, SC. Plus the people there are the friendliest people ever!
Hi how are you doing?
That was a lot of fun guys. Bunny and Missy looked wonderful and happy as usual. Couldn't help but laugh at the shot of the horse drawn wagon going past the 15 mph sign; that was priceless. And Charlie killing his duck was hysterical. See, if you had just listened to him when he was letting you know he wanted to play with the chickens the duck would be alive today. Great fun. Charleston has to be one of the prettiest places in the south, with a fantastic rich heritage. Thanks for showing some of it too us.
Perhaps the top 3 brands of RVs, in terms of overall quality and all in one video.
I knew exactly where you were when you pulled over. My great grandparents lived in White Hall, SC. That store has been there for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Charleston.
I was so excited to watch you enjoy my home state of South Carolina. Even though I have lived in Florida for 40 years, SC will always be “home”. The people, the landscape, the food, and the history are all amazing in the low country. Thanks for a trip down memory lane! And it was great to see that Charlie is “normal” after all! My dogs go straight for the squeaker in every toy we buy them. Stuffing goes everywhere! Between the new bungalow and Carson attending Embry Riddle I hope to meet you one day here in central FL! God bless y’all!
Charleston is a favorite. Our son lived there a couple years. We definitely enjoyed visiting. Such a cool place! The history, the flowers, the restaurants are all memorable.
Solo Stove will change your life. I was shocked that it put out that much heat without any smoke. Went home after a friend had an outdoor party and thought for sure I would have to wash my clothes. Didn't smell any smoke at all.
Yes, we've got the Yukon at the cabin and Bonfire in the truck. We dig it too.
Exceptional music choices!
Glad you guys made it to Charleston, it a beautiful city with lots to do, and lots of history. I live a few hours away in Aiken, SC. Wife and I just bought our first camper, a 21 foot Rubicon, and are looking forward to going on our first trip. We also live on a farm that's been in my family for a long time. Might do a test run on the "back 40". Enjoy the videos, and you guys be well and safe.
Trish “aka Hot Tomale” is an absolute treasure.🎉
We were in Beaufort and Charleston last Spring (21). Stopped at that cider company too. Eclectic...!
Thanks for that! I spent 39 years in Charleston and just moved away last summer. I visited last weekend and was heading back down 17 when I realized how much I miss the area as I passed through the Ace Basin's marsh. As soon as I saw that roadside stand, I knew exactly where you were. Glad you enjoyed it!
Those are some simple but great mods!! I’m really liking the skylight boxes! Thank you! I appreciate your channel 👍🏼👍🏼
Yay! Caleb’s laugh signing is back!!
You guys are such a pleasure to watch. Caleb is a kick. Your other kids are impressive. Keep up the good work.
I enjoy watching every Sunday. TY. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Great Video. It is good to see you guys back in the air steam. She fits you well. Mary💕Fred
I didn't realize Caleb owned shoes 🤣
Love that the season has begun again! More on the airhorn set up... I have an upfitter switch in need of purpose.
I used to live in Charleston.....miss that place like crazy!!
But please keep both propane tanks hooked up. You are counting on the two way valve to work properly. If left unhooked, at the very least you might waste some propane, at the worst you could cause an explosion if the leaked propane hits a spark from a wire or from the road. I have a nice valve just like yours but would not trust it. I do as you and just leave one tank on so I know when to fill the tank and do not run out.
Glad You have avoided Hail And the winds.
Charlie was showing the chickens what he wanted to do to them when he killed his duck 🤣
Tricia I am always impressed at your knowledge bank after I had three kids I can’t remember what I ate yesterday 👍🏻
Marc I can’t wait to get a review on these propane level readers. This is always a pain point on our extra tanks.
My Girlfriend is hooked on watching you guys! Guess what? Starting to get hooked too! You guys have fun!
Welcome! :)
Hey! The Mopeka propane tank sensors are great! We have a 3 set for our Lance RV + a monitor. Mopeka’s customer service is great; we had a small hiccup with our third sensor shortly after purchase.
Great customer service seems to be getting rarer and rarer. I highly recommend them.
Another great one!! Such BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL camping!
Trish you look MARVELOUS in EVERY dress STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS! such Lovely memories of friends and family!! Loved this one
Living the dream Mark! So nice to see you three with Charlie sharing the road! This is what makes your you tube videos worth so much!
*Charleston charm* & *RV(ing) farmland retreat* .....local row houses & artistry artifacts! Gifted sharing makes your family travels unique 💌 ✌️☮️🙌
OMG. The movie clips had me laughing so hard!! Great video, as always!
We love getting to meet people at new rv parks and campsites and we have found lots of people have gotten started by watching your videos, including us! Thanks again for the great videos
The peach cider place is in Yemassee. If you would have turned south at the intersection you would have come to the Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort ( Bew-fert) and Parris Island .
Interesting. We might be back some day then.
You had me homesick on this episode. I was born in Charleston, but never got to live there. We lived 14 miles from Myrtle Beach instead. I miss the south so much, but I still love the North as well. My heart is southern but northern too. lol Loved seeing this episode. Charleston is beautiful, got there a few years back to visit. Wish we had more time to stay longer, but it was only for a day. Charlie the chicken chaser, so funny! Seeing how you wouldn't let him chase the chickens, he took his frustrations out on the duck. lol Loved seeing Bunny & Missy again, they are always so fun to see! Hugs, Brenda
Had the best meal EVER in Charleston - Circa 1886! Phenomenal! Such a beautiful city....thanks for sharing!
The propane bluetooth sonar thingie - YES! Just did an April trip to the Finger Lakes (ie winter) and it was a life saver for tracking my propane and knowing when to refill. Works so much better than the valves that go on the connection side.
The outdoor fan for the bugs is a KEY MOVE! We did that in Maine a couple years ago and it was a game changer for outside!!
Wow Trish knows how to rock in a short dress 😍👍
RAIN-X Marc, RAIN-X! After the air horn, it's the next best thing! And, Love the movie references!
I've got it in the reservoir, but I need the real stuff properly applied.
I, truly can't thank you both enough. I been wanting to try RVing kinda like short trips to feel it out. You both have showed me a lot different experiences, some challenges, go with the flow. I can't wait to get started. Thank you both so much
YES! Carolina Cider company! I had to try every flavor of cider when I stopped there even though I went there for coffee one morning! LOL
Charleston is quintessential Americana Food history culture One of the most beautiful cities in America
On to Kitty Hawk! My after college “Gap” 7 years 🇺🇸
"Cat", here! Marc, there is, also, a 12v small box fan (same fan sold under several different names) that has been on the market for quite along time, now? Works fairly well when "freedom camping" (which my wife, Cathy, prefers instead of boondocking or dry camping) when 110v is not available! Also, to silence the "take up clasp" that holds down your propane cylinder top cover, use electric shrink tape, not sleeves. Wrap around take up loop several times and hit with a mini butane torch! Walla! Silence!
Carolina Cider Co. My wife and I are wandering Savannah to Charleston and she says we need to stop at this cider place she saw on Tripadvisor. We pull up and I'm like, hey KYD was here, I remember seeing the front entrance on the video! Sure enough.... One more place you guys have visited...
I so love you for the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels clip!
We sold our camper😢 still love watching your videos. We will have another at some point. But I sure do miss ours. I cried and cried cleaning it out and watching it roll away.
Also I’ve been to the Carolina cider farm stand it’s lovely. I bought tooo much! No regrets
PS I have photos of that same building at the 21:20 mark. That anchor was so interesting (we lived on a boat for 30 years)!
Charleston is beautiful! Was just there visiting with a friend back in March. We literally drove by not one, but two Airstreams on the highway.
Thank you for these videos, Marc and Tricia. Love watching your adventures!
Tractor supply is usually a win stop! Some places will match pricing for propane. Like Affinity in Prescott will match Tractors or Costco’s propane price. We usually refer to ourselves Zonars or Zonies, but I like Phoenixans 😄
@Marc, you should add the Mopeka Tank Halo (and update your link). The little tank spaces that the sensors ship with are annoying over time as they start falling off. The Halo ring is a minor upgrade, but it removes that frustration, and you no longer have to worry about losing the spaces.
Happy Funday Sunday KYD Family! Charleston looks so beautiful.
Hello Trish, Mark, Caleb, & Charlie! Trish you looked great in your green dress very pretty. The blue was pretty too! I enjoyed this video went to fast. Looking forward to seeing you next week. I hope everyone has a good week.
Trish I loved your dresses, where did you buy them?
Sixty miles from us! USS Yorktown, Ft. Sumter, Ft. Moultrie, Ft. Pinckney, Albermarle Point(1670)/Charles Town Landing, Magnolia/Middlteon Plantations, the Hunley, pirates in the name of Blackbeard and Stede Bonnett. Ohh we wish we'd of made a meeting of ye maties.
Yep One Hot Tamale, all the stars are aligned. Charlie's a kick , we had a dog that took only the eyes off the toy. Weather is iffy around there be safe.☀️☀️☀️🤠
Charleston,SC is so beautiful with alot of history ..i was born and raised in Lexington-Columbia,SC ty for all the videos ..
Nice video Marc! I'm sure it takes a lot more time planning, filming, editing, etc. than any of us would guess. Your skills continue to evolve toward "professional"! Thank you!
Great video but it may take me awhile to live it down. We used to live in SC & loved the coast from St Simons Island GA to Duck NC but Beaufort & Charleston are our favorites. My 5xgreatgrandfather was at Ft Moultrie with the 4th NC Continental line during the Revolution so we have some long history in the Palmetto state Then this afternoon we were out looking at a Silverado to use for a tow vehicle to buy a travel trailer but decided to pass. Then we watch this video & it looks like we’re back to looking at tow vehicles.
Tank monitors are the bomb!
I gotta tell ya:
Your presentations here have it ALL.
I don’t have a complete definition of “all” but it’s definitely ALL GOOD !
Thank you for your efforts as the final product is all encompassing…..in a GREAT WAY !!!
I love Watching each and every one of your videos, but this one is very special as I got to see you in our wonderful city of Charleston. Please come back! Safe travels.
An idea for for a shirt. I need more Air Horn! in honor for the SNL skit I need more Cow Bell.
Charleston is a fun city to visit and the historical value is great. My ex and I got a chance to go there about 32 years ago and the dime was on her company. She was a controller for a bank and she was attending a seminar for new bank accounting software. I am glad I went then because I was still young enough ( mid 30's) and Charleston requires a lot of foot travel.
We lived in SC for a few years and I love that fruit stand. Well worth flipping a Uey for. I miss the south, so glad to live it thru your vid’s till we can get out on the road
When in the Tampa area check out the showman's museum of the carnival in Riverview FL, there are many different rides shows and games from the late 1800s like the conderman ferris wheel it's pretty cool
I agree with you host, I use the Mopeka units on my tanks, they are very helpful in keeping an eye on how much you have left.
When Trish talked about the cobblestone being from the ballast they put on the ships from Europe it reminded me of something I saw on a documentary about the history of the Irish. In the height of the potato famine migration they switched from paying people to put stone ballast on the ships which were only partially loaded with goods going to north America, then having to pay dockworkers to unload it. The Orish migrants would walk into the cargo hold and only get enough food and water to keep them alive, then they would walk off the ship.
I guess you'd call that a win win, lol.
The Irish were a self propelled ballast.
