Trish says we have to go to a Christmas thing tonight ;) So we can't reply to comments tonight. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone. This has been a great year and we're glad you're here. The KYD community is the absolute best and we appreciate everyone's positivity! We hope you are spending time with family and working toward your dreams! -Marc & Trish
1. Charlie is adorable with his buddies. 2. The RV park guy was a total character. 3. That car wash was ridiculous. But they did a good job. 4. I miss my kid. We are volunteers in different countries. So I'm glad you got to visit with Tori.
I love all of your episodes. I just started going through Season 1 and Wow. What a difference. Just received the KYD Hat and I'm so happy. Then getting your rig washed just puts a huge smile on my face because of the pride you guys have of your house. Its because your family I recently bought a new dually and looking to get a toy hauler by Summer. Cheers to many more years of KYD!
Thank you! I'm watching this 12 22 19 and Christmas is very different this year!! One of my four children and their spouse and children have moved. So for the first time, we'll be doing Christmas very differently! As we approach retirement, I expect it will continue to change. I needed to hear, that reminiscing is one thing, but living in the moment and looking forward to new traditions is a great way to embrace the holidays for all of us, today, now. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I just love how much fun Charlie had frolicking with the other dogs. Hey Trish - maybe you should get a companion for Charlie? Also, for the future, maybe dad should rig a rope up in the trees so he can just lift those wires and tie them off during your visit. Those were cable/phone wires by the way, don't try lifting your 600 volt house feed standing on an aluminum ladder.
Omg! When Mark said the best is yet to come! It is so, so true. Our daughters are both grown now and we have our first baby grandson. This is definitely the best time. 💙💙💙
what a nice relaxed video. no hustle and bustle! Mark, I think you needed that! Take care. Enjoy the small life. Thanks for the great look to the future advice.
Makes my eye twitch when people pick apart and criticize every little thing about your videos. I enjoyed it. Trish’s dad is a character. Reminds me of my own father in law. And I wish I could back a 5th wheel into a tight driveway like that with Marks confidence.
Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with fun and frolic! May this Christmas bring your way plenty of reasons to smile. I wish you and your family a very Happy and Joyous Christmas season. May your Christmas sparkle with moments of love, laughter and goodwill.
My surge protector saved my rig at a gated high end campground on a premium 50 amp site. This place was nice, nice, nice! So the power goes off. The breaker is popped and everything is hot. I called the maintenance guy, he's verrrry skeptical! "Alot of these surge protectors are overly sensitive!" Long story short, he ended up changing all the plug sockets and breakers. Plugged the surge protector back in, everything was fine! Best money I spent on the camper so far!
Seriously the cutest when the two dogs were playing...and Charlie got the stick...and then face planted it back in the mouth of the other one....loved it!! Btw...what the heck does Trish’s dad do???? DANG nice house...and I thought the ranch house was great...oh AND the Airstream!!! Ha
Dear KYD Two years ago we were in Waco and met Marc on his campground. He was a super host. Helped us to light our grill fire, after giving him a Swiss chocolate he came back with a self made fish can as appetizer. A super friendly experience. Happy new Year and thank you for your traveling reports. Manfred from Switzerland
Holiday time kept me away Sunday night watching but Monday morning dark 05:00 was THE BEST morning coffee with KYD. This was by far the greatest in a while....family love and laughter. May you all be blessed with an Awesome and safe Christmas and New Year..
Best tips & tricks yet! I love the tip about discussing the financing aspects, great discussions to be having and teaching your children to talk about money and expectations. And Bravo to you Marc on your comment about remembering the past and looking forward to the future! You and Tori I’m sure could find a way to revive this great segment, but I’m glad you you let that live in its own space and are looking forward to finding ways to make new memories.
:-) Tori's back! People in the way / watching, can be very distracting.... especially when they start asking questions. Check out getting a lock for your surge protector so you can lock it to the power pedestal. 20:40 I spent about 6-7 weeks in San Antonio at Lackland AFB for USAF Basic Training... I remember the torrential rain storms and lightning. There's a new air museum that opened here in Spokane, WA on the 17th/ Front and center is a C47 / DC3. I had to go see if after remembering your C47 flight at Oshkosh.
Love your videos. We have their hard wired protection and it gives good peace of mind. We also pull the 50A cord up onto the flatbed and it is coiled around the Reese 50K Goosebox hitch. We try to leave the shore power on until after the hookup to keep from depleting the batteries ... and our book says to do it that way. The auto levelers take a lot of power when running the hydraulics. And YES, moochdocking is the best!
We love North Crest RV park !!! He is a hoot!!!!! I have been binge watching from the beginning!!! Y’all are amazingly!!! Thank you for all the great videos!!!
I really can relate to feelings about your kids growing up. My daughter is twenty soon to be twenty- one. I am so proud of her but it sure is hard when they hit rough patches and you just have to let them work through it on their own. You wish you could give them a hug and a kiss and make it all better like when they were little. Looking forward to seeing what new adventures you have in store for your channel next year.
Your daughter is graduating from the teenage years to her twenties. In February, my granddaughter is graduating from the teenage years to her twenties. You are making me feel old!! When they were still at home, my children really loved RVing. Now, after my wife passed away, I am the only one who has an RV. I always say that it is my link to sanity. The day after Christmas, I yank it down to Florida for the winter, leaving Indiana winters behind. At least I am not too old to do that!!
That was cute Marc, I'm glad that cord trick works for you. If you had a class A you could just push a button to retract the cord and the safety power manager is already built into the rig, so you don't have to leave it out where anyone can steal it. Love watching you guys....Walt
You guys are doing a great job with your videos. My wife and I watch them every week. I never did hear what the problem with the refrigerator and replacement refrigerator was. I think it is good that more people are aware of the quality control issues of all the different recreational vehicles out there. If the industry wishes to continue growing the need to put out a better quality product you can trust. I can also see you will probably be looking at a Class A pretty soon. Safe travels and would love to have you over for dinner and wine when you are next in Bend Oregon
I heard the deck comment too. Something big is in the works, but it's hard to imagine the toy hauler going away after only 6-7 months of use, and 10's of thousands in upgrades for solar, batteries, inverter, disc brakes all around.
Delta Bravo I think some or most of the upgrades were funded by the manufacture for exposure on the channel since they’re one of the biggest RV channels. Just a guess though
Thank you for putting a spot light on Community First Village. I love what they are doing and hoped that Austin would allocate more money to them, whether than invest in Hotel and other fixes for the homeless.
Hey, you met Park Mark in Waco...lol. I can't believe he let you back in your own rig. It didn't seem like an option when I was there 2 years ago. He's a super nice guy. Glad he seems to be doing well.
Mark try coiling your cords ‘over and under’ way. Takes a few times to get used too but never deal with a tangled cord ever again. Look up videos on it
I love when dogs meet each other for the first time or see one another after a while 😂 Even if you got a screaming deal on like a used rig (they're out there if you know what to look for) the cost of replacing a fridge or an AC could easily put you over the amount you paid for the whole thing especially if you have them professionally installed. The surge protector is the cheapest electrical insurance ever.
Wow, another year! We are so glad to be long time followers. Watching you two, and the family grow has been such a pleasure. We almost feel like we're related. Looking forward to season 2020! Love you all! Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to you all! Cheers, Garry & Dar - Roving RVers
So good to see Tori again. Will miss the big rig but excited to see what you get next! Always love Charlie 😁 ...and Texas hail is nothing to play around with.
Seeing that storm with all the cars pulled over with their flashers on and all the lightening, That ha GOT to be somewhere in Eastern Texas, lol. I have driven through many of those East Texas thunderstorms.
I just love how you guys enjoy your extended family! Makes me smile every time I see Jeff & Mel and the joy all of you have as you hangout together. Thanks for that little extra "'love" caught on camera. (c:
Happy holidays. Glad you got some quality time with Tori. My oldest is in her 40s with 4 kids of her own, quality moments are all that's left. Looking forward helps.
Oh sorry, I called you Ken in one of my last remarks. Sorry Marc. Just on question, I know there are lots of people out there who love to hear you explain all about how the RV works. Really everything about RVing. I’m not interested because I like to drive.vans. My son and take van trips. Last December my son Abe I took a trip to California. We went through. Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and then made it to Monterey California to see my niece. When we came back we came and stopped in Texas to see my cousin. On our way home we went up to Nebraska crossover to Illinois and came on home. We live on the North end of Illinois. Near Wisconsin. We love traveling, and I love the whole KYD movement. Keep on truckin KYD.
As if there wasn't more to love about you & your family! Knowing that a piece of your heart (Tricia's Daddy) is in TX and, Austin, no less, just makes this TX gal love y'all even more! My family & I are newbies to the rv world & live in what we call Canada in relation to Austin. (It's between Georgetown & Austin and about 20-45 mins north of Austin depending on what time & day you are traveling. Anything south of Austin we call Mexico in terms of geographic location. Lol! ) Our oldest (17) is also a ginger so this mama's heart has a special place for other mamas with gingers. (BTW, your daughter is gorgeous!) I've loved watching your travels but most importantly, been inspired by the way you do life with your family. Thank you for sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly with all of us in you tube land. We purchased our fifth wheel to have more adventures with our 17 & 14 year old & bring us closer together before they leave the nest. I've learned a lot through your parenting and the joy & love y'all have between one another is something my husband & I want to instill & cement in our own family. God bless you on your travels & God bless Texas! ❤️
husband & I watched this morning with coffee & I decided that might be the best thing about mondays from now on!! Our oldest is 17.5 & wants to move out & not come with us, so I appreciated these tips & tricks ❤
As a dude w/ a toy hauler with a rzr in it, I apologize for the Class A hooking his toad in front of you. I can assure you we're going as fast as humanly and safely as possible. Driving a rig in to your living room is stressful enough without the pressure of someone waiting on you. I wish RV sites had a 'make ready' area like boat launch ramps do so I can unload the rzr, park it out of the way, hook up, and settle in easier.
I got my hats today one for me and the other one is a Christmas present for my husband. But I couldn’t wait so I gave it to him early. He loved it thank you. Merry Christmas and happy new year
Mobile Loaves and Fishes built the Tiny Home neighborhood. They are wonderful people!! Glad you are in Austin for Christmas. Welcome to Texas! You are in my neighborhood now! ❤️
Hello, Merry Christmas to you and your family! I really enjoyed your video this week. It's good to see Tori back for a visit. I enjoyed the Marc and Tori tips as well this week. My niece is approaching 18 years old in May and I'm always reminiscing about when she was younger and all the fun we had on weekends together and all the activities we did as a family. I find myself wishing it was like it was in years gone by again. I'm so proud of my niece she has really grown into a lovely young lady. I like how you said the best is yet to come and look forward to new memories and traditions. I'm approaching it in that manner time moves on and children grown up. I enjoy traveling with your family via your channel. I'm looking forward to 2020 and wish you and your family a Happy New Year! Julie
wait...who else caught that comment Marc made "I'm gonna miss the deck"....I guess that means their end of year surprise is they are again trading in for another rig. I have my money on a motor home and not a truck/trailer. Can't wait to see what they're up to. Oh and great episode..as always.
Information Technology Q & A Show I caught that too.... I’m sure they’ll love having a smaller tow vehicle. I’m thinking a Jeep. Ya know they’re gonna go all high class-A.
Absolutely amazing people, all the way around. Wow, great video and thank you for sharing those memories with us. BTW, those dogs are just too much in love!
I have been watching you guys more or less ever since you had your old dog.. more often now in the seasons of late. You guys do a great job, but if there is one thing you guys are teaching me, personally, is that I NEVER want a rig as big as that!! I am stressed over everything to do with its size and towing it. We had a 26ft TT with and F-150 and have steadily been downsizing ever since. We don’t full time mind you.. but we now have a tab 400 and feel like we have all the room we ever need and more.. plus without the stress! Lol We also have a golden retriever who rules the roost 🥰
That's exactly why we wanted it... to show what it was like. Not to have a bunch of opinions about it, but simply share the process and viewers can make up their own mind.
Obviously I'm not alone but I look forward to your videos more than any other every week. Love your positive attitudes and optimism toward everything. Merry Christmas!
I usually carry a second spare for the 5er behind the hitch in the bed where you coiled the power cord. 2spares better than one. Also those surge guards are not water proof. I had one leak in a heavy storm and fail. So I now use electrical tape to double seal where the cord enters the box part of the surge guard and also where the long cable plugs in at the bottom. It stays attached to the cable. Seems to work
Just wanted you to know (this is the day after Christmas), but my first 2 gifts I opened yesterday were KYD gifts. I got the cap and the winter beanie with the Pom-Pom. That will come in handy in 3 weeks as I didn’t really have anything for my head while traveling to ND. Keeping the cap for spring/summer/fall. My daughter knows what I like.
Just FYI, I believe the F-450 mirrors stick out around 10" to 14" (fully extended) wider than the widest section of the DRW body. At least on my 2019... Maybe I misunderstood what Trish meant?
That rain was very familiar. I recall driving through Dallas in a storm like that in a Freightliner Columbia several years ago. Impressed me, and I'm from Washington!
Ah-ha!!!!! Going to a Class A aren't you? Maybe do a Winnebago Factory tour at Forrest City IA? Or is it going to be a Newmar bunk model? For 2020 it will probably be a Newmar Bunk model........ IN 2021 I am seeing a private Jet LOL!!!
Thanks for letting us ride along with your family! You guys are always very patient, and gracious! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Aberdeen, Washington 😀🎄🇺🇸
Great problem solving. I could have helped solve the egg problem yesterday when I visited our local egg farm and had a chat with the 'girls' but NZ is a bit far away from Texas to deliver fresh free range eggs. Lovely to see Tori again. Thanks for sharing the laughs and frustrations (truck wash). Have a wonderful Christmas and please give Charlie a hug and a scratch from me.
Couple of Humble Opinions: a) a shore power cord reel is worth every bit of what they cost. It's one of those things you put off and then buy it and kick yourself for not having bought it sooner. b) a power conditioner / surge protector that is hardwired and just before your power panel is THE best way of protecting your rig. I know that's a strong statement, but hear me out. I was at a GD rally when a buddy fried just about most of his rig's electronics and a few appliances. He had a pole mounted surge protector. So what happened? His shore power cord had a wire/plug connection issue inside the molded plug. So that surge protector did him no good. Had his protection device been just before the power panel, his faulty shore power cord would not have been an issue.
Trish says we have to go to a Christmas thing tonight ;) So we can't reply to comments tonight. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone. This has been a great year and we're glad you're here. The KYD community is the absolute best and we appreciate everyone's positivity! We hope you are spending time with family and working toward your dreams!
-Marc & Trish
Enjoy your Christmas thing! Love and prayers for all of you.
Looked like Mt Eldon and the Peaks driving into the sunset... sweet! Relax and know how much good you gift to God's creation. Thank you!
merry Xmas
Hanukkah started tonight! The first candle just now burned out. Having a family dinner tomorrow because we were out of town all weekend.
I wish there was a love button to press!!! The thumbs up doesn't fit this video!!! Safe travels and Merry Christmas!!!
1. Charlie is adorable with his buddies.
2. The RV park guy was a total character.
3. That car wash was ridiculous. But they did a good job.
4. I miss my kid. We are volunteers in different countries. So I'm glad you got to visit with Tori.
@@DuffyGabi we're both very happy people. Hopefully we can see each other in July/August.
All things being equal, the thing that brings a smile to my face is seeing dogs be dogs...
The guy at the park was a trip!
Rolling the cord in the back of the truck yes very helpful for us older folks that wonder how we would pick that up. good tip!
I love all of your episodes. I just started going through Season 1 and Wow. What a difference. Just received the KYD Hat and I'm so happy. Then getting your rig washed just puts a huge smile on my face because of the pride you guys have of your house. Its because your family I recently bought a new dually and looking to get a toy hauler by Summer. Cheers to many more years of KYD!
Thank you! I'm watching this 12 22 19 and Christmas is very different this year!! One of my four children and their spouse and children have moved.

I see you met mark at the park. What a great guy. He treated us the same way last year when we stayed there. He was great.
Darrell Wolf Has Evy, his harlequin great dane, gone on to doggy heaven? She was wonderful.
I just love how much fun Charlie had frolicking with the other dogs. Hey Trish - maybe you should get a companion for Charlie?
Also, for the future, maybe dad should rig a rope up in the trees so he can just lift those wires and tie them off during your visit. Those were cable/phone wires by the way, don't try lifting your 600 volt house feed standing on an aluminum ladder.
I don’t even know Jeff and I like him based on his response to the A1 request. Good man.
A man crush?
Are Marc and I the only ones that laughed at the location of Arizona (6:40)? That was a great joke and nobody reacted.
Yes! That was so good, but it went right over the guy's head.
Omg! When Mark said the best is yet to come! It is so, so true. Our daughters are both grown now and we have our first baby grandson. This is definitely the best time. 💙💙💙
what a nice relaxed video. no hustle and bustle! Mark, I think you needed that! Take care. Enjoy the small life. Thanks for the great look to the future advice.
Makes my eye twitch when people pick apart and criticize every little thing about your videos. I enjoyed it. Trish’s dad is a character. Reminds me of my own father in law. And I wish I could back a 5th wheel into a tight driveway like that with Marks confidence.
It was really GREAT to see Tori again, even if for just one episode.
Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with fun and frolic! May this Christmas bring your way plenty of reasons to smile. I wish you and your family a very Happy and Joyous Christmas season. May your Christmas sparkle with moments of love, laughter and goodwill.
Thank you! You too. 2020 will be a great year.
Mark at Northcrest is a doll!!! I had the pleasure of staying there for a week. He is so funny! You cannot be in a hurry once he starts talking 😂
The best is yet to come. Great advice. There is a reason that your windshield is bigger than your rearview mirror. Nice work, you guys.
My surge protector saved my rig at a gated high end campground on a premium 50 amp site. This place was nice, nice, nice! So the power goes off. The breaker is popped and everything is hot.

Is Marc wearing Trish's yoga pants? Asking for a friend...
Holiday time kept me away Sunday night watching but Monday morning dark 05:00 was THE BEST morning coffee with KYD. This was by far the greatest in a while....family love and laughter. May you all be blessed with an Awesome and safe Christmas and New Year..

Hey Marc. The future! RVing with the grandchildren! It’s great fun!
That was a nice family get together. And nice tips from Marc and Tori!
Sherri
Wait for traffic to calm, regroup, and then thread the needle; a sign of a well-seasoned driver. Well done KYD.
Your daughter is graduating from the teenage years to her twenties. In February, my granddaughter is graduating from the teenage years to her twenties. You are making me feel old!! When they were still at home, my children really loved RVing. Now, after my wife passed away, I am the only one who has an RV. I always say that it is my link to sanity.

Thanks! We never found out. Dead. They put a new one in.
Marc said "that's one of the things we are going to miss..", in reference to the deck, SO YOU ARE GETTING A NEW RIG!!! CLASS A CLASS A CLASS A!!
I heard it would be a Teardrop pulled by a Honda Pilot.
Josh Price I, too, think they’re going class A
I heard the deck comment too. Something big is in the works, but it's hard to imagine the toy hauler going away after only 6-7 months of use, and 10's of thousands in upgrades for solar, batteries, inverter, disc brakes all around.

Thank you for putting a spot light on Community First Village. I love what they are doing and hoped that Austin would allocate more money to them, whether than invest in Hotel and other fixes for the homeless.
Moochdocking is becoming is becoming a favourite pass time of mine.
You just blew my mind and saved my back with that cord tip!
Hey, you met Park Mark in Waco...lol. I can't believe he let you back in your own rig. It didn't seem like an option when I was there 2 years ago. He's a super nice guy. Glad he seems to be doing well.
Marc you freaking nailed that park job once again!!
Love the MT shirt , I live in Murfreesboro TN THKS for sharing your videos !
Did you see our MTSU episode?
We stayed in the same park in Waco. Mark the owner was a hoot and asked if he could back my RV in too. Loved the video.
Mark try coiling your cords ‘over and under’ way. Takes a few times to get used too but never deal with a tangled cord ever again. Look up videos on it
I love when dogs meet each other for the first time or see one another after a while 😂 Even if you got a screaming deal on like a used rig (they're out there if you know what to look for) the cost of replacing a fridge or an AC could easily put you over the amount you paid for the whole thing especially if you have them professionally installed.

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to you all!

So good to see Tori again. Will miss the big rig but excited to see what you get next! Always love Charlie 😁 ...and Texas hail is nothing to play around with.
Great to see Mark at Northcrest again! Awesome guy, and a great little campground.
Seeing that storm with all the cars pulled over with their flashers on and all the lightening, That ha GOT to be somewhere in Eastern Texas, lol. I have driven through many of those East Texas thunderstorms.
I just love how you guys enjoy your extended family! Makes me smile every time I see Jeff & Mel and the joy all of you have as you hangout together. Thanks for that little extra "'love" caught on camera. (c:
Oic. This is how you setup and break it down video. Thanks for showing that.
Happy holidays. Glad you got some quality time with Tori. My oldest is in her 40s with 4 kids of her own, quality moments are all that's left. Looking forward helps.
This episode is so great, I just thought I'd let you know, I just watched it again. Thank you.
I love a good thunderstorm.
I love watching the family adventures....I really enjoy seeing you visit with your dad....Safe travels guys....

Driving a rig in to your living room is stressful enough without the pressure of someone waiting on you. I wish RV sites had a 'make ready' area like boat launch ramps do so I can unload the rzr, park it out of the way, hook up, and settle in easier.
Any episode with Tori or Jeff LaFontaine is a great episode!!!
Safe travels
Can't get enough playful pup video :-) Charlie is the real star of the show !
I got my hats today one for me and the other one is a Christmas present for my husband. But I couldn’t wait so I gave it to him early. He loved it thank you. Merry Christmas and happy new year
Mobile Loaves and Fishes built the Tiny Home neighborhood. They are wonderful people!! Glad you are in Austin for Christmas. Welcome to Texas! You are in my neighborhood now! ❤️
Loved the message at the end ❤️ “the best is yet to come”
Fantastic episode as always. I always really enjoy the ones with the family in them. Can’t wait to hear what’s up next
Your dad was amazing!
Wow that pete cleaned up niiice and so did your rig
I really enjoy your family. I have a lot of fun watching you on your adventures. You all have made me laugh.
Hello, Merry Christmas to you and your family! I really enjoyed your video this week. It's good to see Tori back for a visit. I enjoyed the Marc and Tori tips as well this week. My niece is approaching 18 years old in May and I'm always reminiscing about when she was younger and all the fun we had on weekends together and all the activities we did as a family. I find myself wishing it was like it was in years gone by again. I'm so proud of my niece she has really grown into a lovely young lady. I like how you said the best is yet to come and look forward to new memories and traditions. I'm approaching it in that manner time moves on and children grown up. I enjoy traveling with your family via your channel. I'm looking forward to 2020 and wish you and your family a Happy New Year! Julie
Excellent, as usual! The 'tips' session was more than entertaining; it was, in every aspect, spot on! Once again I say, KYD needs a Love button‼️
wait...who else caught that comment Marc made "I'm gonna miss the deck"....I guess that means their end of year surprise is they are again trading in for another rig. I have my money on a motor home and not a truck/trailer. Can't wait to see what they're up to. Oh and great episode..as always.
New RV reveal video on Jan 12th.
Keep Your Daydream
Yeah... that’s my birthday
Information Technology Q & A Show
I caught that too....
I’m sure they’ll love having a smaller tow vehicle. I’m thinking a Jeep. Ya know they’re gonna go all high class-A.
@@KeepYourDaydream I'll be looking forward to watching the new RV reveal vlog . YIKES !I can't believe it that your changing rigs already .?
Why are you changing rigs???? problem with the current one??? Too big??? If you need to spend money you could send it ti me!!!
Awesome as usual. Always fun to get together with family. Enjoyed your video - always so fun
Love love love Mark and Tori's tips!!
Wishing you, loved ones and the KYD community a wonderful holiday season, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Marc and Tori's tips = Good info on Living in the now instead of wishing you could live in the past. Merry Christmas.
Absolutely amazing people, all the way around. Wow, great video and thank you for sharing those memories with us. BTW, those dogs are just too much in love!
Loved the faces on the little kids when Trish is tossing the rings at Silobration..... Merry Christmas and have a safe NewYyear.
I have been watching you guys more or less ever since you had your old dog.. more often now in the seasons of late. You guys do a great job, but if there is one thing you guys are teaching me, personally, is that I NEVER want a rig as big as that!! I am stressed over everything to do with its size and towing it. We had a 26ft TT with and F-150 and have steadily been downsizing ever since. We don’t full time mind you.. but we now have a tab 400 and feel like we have all the room we ever need and more.. plus without the stress! Lol
We also have a golden retriever who rules the roost 🥰
That's exactly why we wanted it... to show what it was like. Not to have a bunch of opinions about it, but simply share the process and viewers can make up their own mind.
Obviously I'm not alone but I look forward to your videos more than any other every week. Love your positive attitudes and optimism toward everything. Merry Christmas!
I usually carry a second spare for the 5er behind the hitch in the bed where you coiled the power cord. 2spares better than one. Also those surge guards are not water proof. I had one leak in a heavy storm and fail. So I now use electrical tape to double seal where the cord enters the box part of the surge guard and also where the long cable plugs in at the bottom. It stays attached to the cable. Seems to work
Just wanted you to know (this is the day after Christmas), but my first 2 gifts I opened yesterday were KYD gifts. I got the cap and the winter beanie with the Pom-Pom. That will come in handy in 3 weeks as I didn’t really have anything for my head while traveling to ND. Keeping the cap for spring/summer/fall. My daughter knows what I like.
Best advise ever on move forward don't dwell ie morn the the past
Safe travels! Wonderful uplifting episode, as always! Thank you!
Welcome to the truck washes we have sat almost 3 hours at one. When you have trucks that pull in behind you, your stuck for the wait.
Merry Christmas to the whole family
Just FYI, I believe the F-450 mirrors stick out around 10" to 14" (fully extended) wider than the widest section of the DRW body. At least on my 2019... Maybe I misunderstood what Trish meant?
That was fun to see Tori back! Missed those Tips and Tricks. Great video!!
That rain was very familiar. I recall driving through Dallas in a storm like that in a Freightliner Columbia several years ago. Impressed me, and I'm from Washington!
Hi KYD made your chicken wraps so awesome Tasty loved them . Have a safe ride to Arizona
Ah-ha!!!!! Going to a Class A aren't you? Maybe do a Winnebago Factory tour at Forrest City IA? Or is it going to be a Newmar bunk model? For 2020 it will probably be a Newmar Bunk model........ IN 2021 I am seeing a private Jet LOL!!!
Ahhhh my KYD fix, nice way to spend a Sunday evening!
Thanks for letting us ride along with your family! You guys are always very patient, and gracious! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Aberdeen, Washington 😀🎄🇺🇸
Merry Christmas! Great to see Tori again!
Great problem solving. I could have helped solve the egg problem yesterday when I visited our local egg farm and had a chat with the 'girls' but NZ is a bit far away from Texas to deliver fresh free range eggs. Lovely to see Tori again. Thanks for sharing the laughs and frustrations (truck wash). Have a wonderful Christmas and please give Charlie a hug and a scratch from me.
After dropping your cord connector on the grass several times, be sure to clean it off before you put it away or plug it in again so it won't corrode.
Thanks Mark, finally some RUclips music that didn’t drive me up a wall some nice jazz
Great video as usual! I know you get tired of hearing that! We are headed to Tampa for the RV show, shopping for our FT rig!!
Couple of Humble Opinions: a) a shore power cord reel is worth every bit of what they cost. It's one of those things you put off and then buy it and kick yourself for not having bought it sooner. b) a power conditioner / surge protector that is hardwired and just before your power panel is THE best way of protecting your rig. I know that's a strong statement, but hear me out. I was at a GD rally when a buddy fried just about most of his rig's electronics and a few appliances. He had a pole mounted surge protector. So what happened? His shore power cord had a wire/plug connection issue inside the molded plug. So that surge protector did him no good. Had his protection device been just before the power panel, his faulty shore power cord would not have been an issue.
Lol-Testy Trish...never thought I would see it (the RV park guy was a little much). Glad to see you're human Trish- keep up the great content KYD.
That's a day trip for me but I would camp there for the humor. I'll bring some pastrami to go with the wry.
So much fun, can t wait for season 8!!!!
