About this episode: We've had our fair share of interesting border crossings. Okay, mostly related to stowaway oranges, but this one was a new surprise. In this episode, so much happens before we finally make our way south from Valdez, AK.

You guys nailed it with this one. The perfect balance of adventure, beautiful shots, useful information, real life, your personalities...seriously, thank you!!!
Bethany Baker agreed
You guys are really becoming my favorite, of the travelers that I follow! It's so true to life and your entire family rocks with personality! You cover the things that I wonder about and the first that I've seen to carry a firearm and admit it. I would have bear spray too but when it comes to protecting my life, I wouldn't want to trust it . Thank you for the entertainment! You guys are great! 😎👌💖
The drone footage of the boat through the ice was really cool!
AI, best pet ever. Always come back.
Can't tell you how much my husband and I love your RUclips Chanel. This week, we bought your dish drainer, and I installed your magnet motion sensor lights in my pantry. Wow what a difference they make. We also installed the step covers. We had my brother in law over yesterday and your show was on. We were telling him how much we love watching your adventures, today he was out shopping for trailers. Passing on your spirit of "do it now, don't wait until you retire". Thanks guys for always keeping us entertained, informed and motivated. We are currently at Pismo Coast Village because of you. The sunset was beautiful tonight and we have you to thank for that. We are reminding ourselves each day, to live our dream today. Thank you KYD
That's great. Thanks for letting us know. Those step covers are essential! It was a real slip hazard before. Pismo Coast Village was so much fun. What a great time of year to be there.
I bought those lights too and every time I move my trailer, they fall and half the time they don't work anyway because there's not enough tension on the battery door to keep contact.
💜💜💜
I love how you guys include just the random real time conversations about the travels and decision making! This is something we are working on getting better at in our vlogs!
Us too!
Dang it!! Cannot believe I have to wait until next week to see what happens at the border!!! LoL
Kimberly Tammy I had the same reaction! 😳🤪
I was gonna say that lol!!!
Wow! What a beautiful video! You nailed the perfect music to go along with the drone shot coming down on the boat as it waded through the ice…..it was magical! We had to watch it over and over. And great shot and audio of the boat sloshing the ice around! We so appreciate the time and effort you all put in to produce such beautiful work, not only the visual, but also the details and information you supply. We soak up everything as we work to make our dream happen.
Thank you for the continued inspiration!
Ray and Cindy from Nevada
You're actually helping us to keep our daydream. Thank all of you!
Put some dielectric grease into your 7 pin connector, it will keep the water out. Safe travels !!
"CTRL+F dielec" yup. I second this suggestion. Should have for everything on a truck like this. I use it on every fuse/relay I can to stop corrosion and garbage.
I like the sounds of the water and the sea animals it’s relaxing
Amazing footage of Alaska. Wonder how many times we said, “WOW!!!!!!” watching the incredible scenery and wildlife. Had no idea the border has hours?!?!?! Will be waiting till Sunday....💕💕💕
That's great. Thanks!
It’s great how you show us that it’s not all rainbows and roses. Surprises and the unexpected are reality.
More of that to come!
We were in Valdez - too early for Salmon fishing, but Tinkerbell fishing co. had huge jars of frozen Salmon caviar - we bought cream cheese, great crackers and feasted for several days. We did not camp on this trip, though we usually always do on our travels. If you hit a moose on Alaskan roads (happens a lot) You let authorities know and they alert the nearest local tribe, and the meat is used by the indigenous people. When we drove from Anchorage to Valdez, we drove for 2 miles behind a moose strolling down the middle of the highway! He was completely unconcerned. We had so many amazing experiences, but now I want to go back and do more! Thank you for sharing your possibilities.
OMG....that drone footage!
Yes! Love it!
I love the little mime in the back seat!! He always makes me laugh! So funny!!
Your drone footage off the LuLabelle
Was amazing!
Lol you guys crack me up every single time you could use a video there so many beautiful things. But Marc when you in Tricia are together, It seems like constant smiles and laughs ,and you guys just make everything great.. I mean let's just think about it 35000 views is where I see you guys at right now, and a 146000 people subscribed you guys are one of the most watched videos out there even by other people that we watch... You 2 are making history lol unbelievable.. Keep up the great work we love you guys see on the next one
Immediately when you had problems with your trailer brakes disconnecting my brain went to the problem we recently solved. Our brakes would only disconnect when it was raining. After lots of investigating we discovered the brake wires that run through the axels was old and the insulation was cracking and braking. We had to pull the wires and rewire the trailer brakes. This summer on our 30 day trip was the first trip in 3 years where we didn't have brake problems or a tire blow out. We were so happy.
Trish is the boss!
Marc your the driver and the boys are, well I haven't figured what they are yet. 😄
Lol. I'm still trying to figure it out.
Boys are the passengers! Lol!!
Thanks for inspiring us to start our daydream. Bought a truck and used toy hauler camped for two nights for shake down. It will be a couple of years before we can do extended trips but we’ll be doing a week or to at a time and long weekends till then. Love your videos
Back in 1999 we went to Canada and brought a rifle into the country and they asked more questions about the ATV than the gun. No fees back then but they were concerned we were going to sell the ATV while we were in the country.
I can’t stop watching your videos they are amazing and that drone footage ugh you did that perfectly
The boat trip through the ice fields was incredible ❤️
Up up down down A B A B select start! I loved your Nintendo reference LOL!!! My jaw HIT THE GROUND when you rolled up to the closed border! I can’t believe it
Konami Code. Too funny. That would have left my brain forever had you not mentioned it.
Borders can be very frustrating... When our boys were little asthma was an occasional ugly problem. It had appeared to be under control for almost a year so we planed a stay in Rocky Point. On our next to last day there the oldest was experiencing some problems with his asthma, nothing but an un staffed clinic in town and no EMS. So we packed up in the middle of the night and made a dash for the "Border". Of course it was closed so we had to sweat out 2 hours waiting, after we got there for it to open... If it wasn't for being a Medic and having everything I needed to treat him it could have been really bad. Murphy is a has a sick sens of humor and he is waiting around every corner. Wish we'd have had our RV back then! Great show , fantastic footage. OLT
Verrrry nice drone video of the glacier field and the boat to show perspective. And, of course, Kaleb at 14:30.
We don't do cold very well but that might be worth it. The views on the boat were awesome.
Hi from Australia. I have been really enjoying your videos. Will be going back and starting from the beginning and watching them all. Your and your family's interaction with the camera is great. I love how you also give abit of history, geography and tourist info as well. For us over here in the land of Oz, it feels like we are there with you. Thanks again.
We've really enjoyed your videos this summer. We live here in Alaska but we've never gone any boating tours or flight seeing tours. This was awesome to watch. Thank you
So many great shots and ideas for our trip next year. I was so close to hitting the road full time when I was blessed with the care of three beautiful grand daughters. They met with unfortunate circumstances and keeping them together was, of course, my first priority. I truly thought my "daydream" was over at that point until I found so many full time families on the road. What a beautiful way to educate the next generation. So we are in the process of customizing our bus. And planning the "unplanned trip" of a lifetime..LOL. Just love you guys. And not all our borders have hours...lol...most bigger crossings are open round the clock. Hope you filled up on fuel while you were here as our dollar sure makes it worth it for our American friends. Thank you for such beautiful footage and great info and trivia. Cant wait to say I've done it too. Happy travels to you all … because of course "It's A Wander-FULL Life" indeed!
That's great to hear. You'll create memories for a lifetime. Tonight's video starts right at the border. Regarding cost, Canadian fuel is about $5.43 gal and US is $3.20 on average. Groceries are our biggest expense and CA is about 10% more after our exchange. Overall, it's a bit more expensive to us to travel to CA, but it's been worth it every time.
Marc, lift up the center console, look under the lid, two places to put pens, even pink if you like.
A great solution to the 7 pin connector issue, is dielectric grease. After making sure our 7 pin connector is clean and coated, zero issues. We lost the electronics to our tongue jack last summer in Alaska/Canada due to all the rain and road spray. Those vulnerable contacts now have dielectric grease on them.
Your killing me smalls... this is how your ending the video😤. So I want to know who said “let’s just lift the gate and drive through”? Great video on the boat!
You go, Trish, with your ideas! Just love how adventurous you all are. LOL@the whole pink pen thing. Staying tuned on this cliffhanger 😂🤗💕
When my family left Alaska to be reassigned in Fort Jackson, SC we took that same route. From Tok to Haines in the winter time. Not recommended. White-outs and communications dead zones. And yeah, the closed border. Caught us off guard too. Haines was such a beautiful town.
Beautiful scenery and video! Great drone footage above the boat. Parking at the border is going to make a great story. Safe travels!
I really enjoy watching your family and your choice in music is GREAT 👍🏻
Oh my Lord how breathtaking! The scenery is just amazing! Your photography skills are impressive to say the least! Great job!
Super fun! The drone footage off the Lu-Lu-Belle was gorgeous. Trish, you bailed too early on the dolphin jokes. Here is a couple for the next time you need them. You know where that dolphin keeps her money? Her octopurse. Glad that dolphin didn't hurt you, you would have had to call a clambulance. Why did that dolphin cross the road? To get to the other tide.
Another GR8 episode, KYD!
My Life is a Highway
And there was me thinking I told the worst jokes in the world. I guess the old one are the best eh?
Hey Marc, someone may have already shared this tip but if your trailer connection is wet you can spray it with WD-40 and it will displace the water. Love your channel. Be safe!
Speaking for all of us (I'm sure) we LOVE the music you've so painstakingly downloaded to accompany your wonderful videos, thank you!
Look at the bright side. At least you were first in line at the border crossing when they open. :-)
Exactly!
@ 2:36 The Cornelia Marie - Captain Phil!!! (RIP)
Thank you so much for sharing such Amazing travel vids with us... makes my week! Wish you could upload more often 🤗😁
Those drone shots of the boat cruising through the ice in Valdez were epic! Edits keep getting better and better - mad skills! Love you guys...
Glad I had to wait until Friday to watch Sunday's episode so I only have 2 days to wait for the next one! I am so impressed with your videos, I don't know how you do it - you're gifted, Marc (and hardworking) - a great storyteller. All of it, I just can't say it enough, you're really good at this! Amazing that you were able to get that drone footage while on a moving boat!?! Thanks for the entertaining videos and for sharing your family and adventures with us. Love it!
Thanks Andi. Sunday's video is done :) It's fun.
We’re finally full time RVers and you had so much to do with getting us here! Thank you for your inspirational videos that keep us motivated to keep dreaming about the next adventure...even if it means sleeping overnight at the border!
Oh no! You missed one of the most beautiful drives up there! When I left from Haines Junction to Haines I figured a few hours. It was so beautiful, it took me the better part of a day to do it. I’m also sorry that you didn’t know that some smaller border crossings close during the night. It’s the same case going into the lower 48 as well. Also, your footage on the cruise was amazing!!!
You are amazing in the video editing department! Great stuff. I always left wanting more.
Thanks. We really liked this video too.
We were at Haines 17-19 Aug. Just missed you. We've been out for 5 months and now on our way home next week in Ontario. Great VLOGS.
Dry camping at the border? Something I need to add to the bucket list.....not! Great videography Mark and Trish. Really enjoy you videos.
What a wonderful childhood you're giving to your kids.
Each week gets better and better. Your footage off the side of the LuLu Belle was awesome. Was someone holding you by the ankles? I look forward to each week. Take care and be safe.
haha! Glad to see we're not the only ones caught by hours at the border! Another great video!
I know this is an old episode, but I just chuckled. You were talking about the crabbing boat, and how you saw on discovery Channel back when you watched 📺. Now instead of watching you are making 📺. Did you ever imagine say 10 years ago that would be your reality?
Ended with a cliffhanger! Now we have to wait until next Sunday!? Nice episode guys!
-Your car and caravan is so big - - - - - - thank you for sharing - great video.
The drone footage dropping below the boat was incredible. Pro quality worthy of a National Geographic special.
Great video. We tried to take the ferry from Haines to Skagway but it malfunctioned and could not load any vehicles, so we ended up driving that route. 6 miles by Ferry and a LOT more by road. Had to be in Skagway to get a shipment from the lower 48 that was sent there!
That's terrible! I would not have wanted to drive back around!
Who knew that a border would or could be closed! I thought the border was always open. Great video... keep it up.
Great video guys. We are now in PA. Touring Philly tomorrow. Next day is Valley Forge. Gettysburg was awesome.
I can't believe you left us hanging, I guess I'll be back next week!! Thanks for sharing!
Such great pics (both from the drone and on the ground); espec liked the boat going through the ice field. Can't wait to see what happens at the border. So interesting with you sharing some "fun facts" and showing the great scenery. Seeing black bears on the side of road would be exciting, too. Am enjoying being with you on this trip. Y'all Be Safe!
OoOh. That's good! Just left us hangin'!! I loved the Lulu Belle footage. So neat that you were able to use the drone. I would've been worried to lose it. LOL. Looking forward to the next episode, as always!!
So very cool! By chance did you see Carolyn from Carolyn's RV Life? She just uploaded the same tour video on Sunday too! She took it last Thursday. Safe & happy travels. Tracy Annetta
Your videos are just magical! Thank you for taking us along!!
Best videos on youtube. You guys live an amazing life. Make the best of a rough situation. At least you guys have each other and all get along great. Thank you for the entertainment.
The only words for this is... You nailed it! How do you guys do it? Your videos are awesome! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and adventures with us! Can’t wait for the next show!
Hey Mark put some electrical grease in your connection for the trailer pans that I keep it connected and keep the water and corrosion from getting to it just in case you haven’t figured that out already
Such a great video! Lu lu belle footage, with the music, beautiful.
Love watching you guys, I have been binge watching your channel! Its amazing the scenery you are experiencing and sharing!
You have the best videos and advise and fun !
Another great video, can you get any better? And leave us hanging again. Love you guys. 👍👍
Thank Dave
That was amazing. Love your adventures, feel like I am right there with you. Thank you so much for all you do on your channel. Now to wait till next week to see what happened at the border.
Again, very instructive in tips @ tricks on the road. I will always remember this: driving up north at night may not be the right idea! This is always difficult in our travels as we want to make the most out of everything on the road...and nighttime driving always seems to be a good idea....but not! Yes, Canadian borders are sometimes closed...especially up north! Good to know ;-) Safe Travels!
Love the part about the Orca being a dolphin dressed up for dinner lol!
Thank you very much for your videos!!! my wife and I have been looking at TT's and your videos have been a huge reason why we are going to be shopping for a trailer when we get into a larger city in a couple weeks.
You have been a huge part of our deciding to budget and move ahead on a purchase. hopefully we will be on the road next spring!!! (it gets -58F where i live, so the season is over here).
Thank you again!!!
The drone footage of the glacier was breathtaking!
I can see why my relatives in Alaska like it so much there, I can't believe how much you have driven. That's over two oil changes!
Loving all your videos! Experiences of a lifetime with many more to come. Thanks for sharing.
Talk about leaving me hanging at the border lol! Wait to see what happened next. Beautiful country there in Alaska, we're moving there in the spring to Whales pass area, can't wait for our adventure there.
I make the same types of comments when I am picking out music. Would love to see a behind the scenes video of you putting a video together!
I've been considering doing that for the course, but my edits are so long. I'm just about to record a post-audio video and how I set-up the audio throughout. It would probably be easier to show I setup the opening.
Pretty sure we saw you on the Tok Cutoff as we were headed back to Alaska from Indiana on 30 Aug. You were leaving the worst part of the road and we were just getting into it.
Ugh, I knew driving that far that late wasn’t a good idea....but at least it was only a closed boarder crossing ! So next time don’t worry about getting videos out at a certain time, your safety is more important.....viewers understand !!!
One good thing about binge watching a year after these are posted, I don’t have to wait a week to see what happens :))) hehe
We've only missed a Sunday in Mexico when we had to drive to PV to upload and it still took all day. This was a memory for sure!
Tune in next time when Trish and Marc find out what it means to be woken at the border... 😁 Total cliffhanger! The suspense is killing me!
Just finished watching “Carolyn’s RV life” and she did the exact same tour .
Wow, this video was amazing! Loved the boat ride through the ice. I was in awe the whole time of the ice and the wild life. Couldn't believe how close the boat got to the "cave". Was amazed about the gun and the border, that was pretty easy. Then about died when the border was closed and y'all had to spend the night there. It's going to be a long week waiting to see how that went! lol Great video! Hugs, Brenda
Next Sunday will start first thing the following morning.
I about fell out of my chair over the Nintendo game bit! Hilarious. Great video. Thank you.
There are 3 electical plugs underneath by the hitch that didn't seal off very well on the 17's. The fix is to disconnect, clean, and fill with dielectric grease. When these get wet it will cause various errors and disconnect warnings.
Yup. I'm getting left lamp errors too. I'll check out.
I always carry extra grease with me!! And toothpicks to help clean out some of the grime that builds up. Probably also want to get some lube on the slide rails with all the rain and other muck working its way up from the road and campsites.
How fun that you got to see the Cornelia Marie from Deadliest Catch! 2:36 in the video
Howdy KYD! Spray some electrical cleaner on the trailer connectors. I’ve have two Ford’s with the smart trailer connectors. They are great but finicky. As soon as I spray the electrical cleaner in there. All problems solved. Especially during the salty winter Michigan months. Keep up the great videos! My wife and I love all the places you visit.
I'll be sure to get some!
The brand I use is CRC Lectra-motive electric parts cleaner. It’s in a spray can
With that kind of miles, you might want to check the brakes when you get a chance. Had a similar issue thought it was a bad cable, then a bad socket on the truck. It ended up being one of the magnets was so warn it would short out once in a while and do exactly what you are seeing over bumpy roads.
I’m surprised they let you fly your drone off the boat. Very cool video.
Ok spoke too soon, as beautiful as the last one was this one is just a beautiful. Great scenery thank you
Well i have to tell ya we have come to borders and there was a line at 11pm so we parked behind the others slept in line. I didnt sleep but my family did i stayed up just incase any issues drank tea and relaxed saw some amazing wildlife.
Mark, try some dielectric grease on your trailer plug. It will help with the moisture issues.
Alright, you guys convince us to RV travel to Alaska. You guys made it worth seeing. Thank you. Love your channel.
Ok, so I take back what I said on the last video about not wanting to go to Alaska. Mark you did a fantastic job on this video and you have changed my mind, That boat trip was worth the money....well for me anyway. Thanks a million for posting.
We're going to do a AK review. We think people could fly there and have a heck of an amazing trip in two weeks during the perfect season.
Super jealous y'all saw the Deadliest Catch boat!!! so amazing!!!
Hey Mark, keep a can of WD40 for the trailer harness. If your connectors are wet spray/soak them in wd40 which displaces water hence the WD. Connect everything back up and away you go.
Wow! Again! Magnificent ❤️ the Drone footage from the boat was amazing. The music is awesome! LOL, you used the aggressive one for the boarder! (Really liked the song at 14:32) Love all your videos!! I wish they lasted longer! drive safe!
