ℹ️About the episode:
After spending a week at Disney's Fort Wilderness, we're off to Savannah Georgia and staying in Hilton Head Harbor RV park and marina. The mysterious thumping coming from beneath the Ford F450 continues to draw concern and it got so bad we had to pull over to investigate, but found nothing. After arriving to the RV park, we found the forward storage bay door open due to a broken latch, but we later discover that is not the cause of the thumping.
Savannah, GA is one of the oldest cities in the union. It's also one of the most beautiful and a great location for a photo shoot. We met up with KYD Insider Barry for an early morning session at Forsyth Park in Savannah before hosting a KYD Insider meet-up. It's always great to connect with the community and hear stories first hand. We wish we could continue to do public meet-ups, but they became too difficult to coordinate and manage.

We're keeping a list of all the upgrades to the truck & trailer on this blog post, including the mud flaps installed in this episode keepyourdaydream.com/ginger
What was the thumbing sound
hey yall i think you need to get the plastic fifth wheel no grease pad for your hitch or the pad that stays on the king pin of the trailer .. just ask any tow hitch place about it .. or grease the fifth wheel hitch... i just didn't see one if you have one already
@@jaredreid6932 I think you mean thumping sound correct?
Jared Reid compartment door latch failed on front of camper and it was flapping
Current state trooper here, please, please, please don’t stop on the side of the interstate unless it is a true emergency. Always try and get to the next exit or rest stop. People don’t move over for us and we have red and blue lights. I would hate to see something happen.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the very same thing. Great advice.
Former Deputy (retired disabled) in one year the Missouri Hwy Patrol lost 5 Troopers being hit on roadside stops. That was the year my son graduated from the Academy............. nervous Mom & Dad. I started doing passenger side driver contacts........much safer! Roadside pull overs are a accident waiting to happen.........that's why God made parking lots :)
As a truck driver I say the same exact thing I got pulled over with a flat tire by a deputy sheriff and he asked me why we still driving and I told them the side roads are no place to pull over soon as I find a spot big enough for me I'll pull over and get it fixed
Kirk Danielson Here in Illinois we have "Scott's Law" mandating a slowdown and moving a lane over for emergency vehicles on the shoulder. Fines are higher. There have been multiple bad situations even in 2019 alone. And it's uncanny how impaired drivers seem to gravitate right at stopped emergency cars with lights flashing, like moths to a flame. Crazy.
Trish is SO supportive. Such a great install on the left mud flap... That, Sir, is a good woman.
Great job parking the Monument! BTW.
Looooooooove Savannah. So much history, so much natural beauty, so much architecture! Seriously could live there.
I moved from Missouri 13 years ago to Georgia. Savannah is a true southern charm. It's so historical and beautiful.
Savannah also has one of the largest and most recognized St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the world!
My wife would not have even come out of the camper to look at the mud flaps. She would say nice... good job.
Or "I'm not riding in that thing with those on, those are too ugly!" 😂
Mine would’ve said, "Huh??"
@@scottleggejr Lol
Today as I passed by another RV’r I saw him putting a KYD sticker in the window.
I have a Super Duty F350 DRW and live in a state with no mudflap laws. In both Georgia and Florida, the law stipulates mudflaps for open wheels and exempts those that have fender covering such as a Super Duty DRW. If you had a stake bed, you would be required by law to have mud flaps. The bed structure and and extended fenders exempt your F450. On that same note, a responsible dealership would not turn you loose with that sort of violation. That said, I have flaps that are mounted on the rear hitch to protect my fifth wheel. I understand the reasoning and rational for the laws, but most of my windshield strikes came from trucks traveling in the opposite direction on a two-way highway.
Being from Louisiana, I can supply you with a Sherman anecdote. Louisiana State University - LSU - once was only a small military school. Hence its nickname, The Old War School. When southern states were seceding at the start of the Civil War, the thirteen cadets all joined the Confederacy. The commandant, supplied by the U.S. Army, went north. But he came back! His name? William Tecumseh Sherman.
Goodness, I don't think I've EVER heard that story. Amazing. Thanks for that!
Congratulations on 200k subscribers guys! Really great well deserved stuff.
Thanks Joseph.
Couldn’t agree more!
Back in 1992 we did the exact thing. Went ti that marina and camped for few days, then went to fort wilderness at disney. Left disney after a week lived hikton head so we went back to stay on our trip back to Virginia. The whole family loved hilton head more then Disney's campground. But like my hair color lots of changes from when i was 12 to being 39 now. So they might of improved drastically in Florida. Enjoy trip down memory lane.
Use LOCTITE® THREADLOCKER BLUE 242® for the Camlock screws. But, this is story is important. You know how you always have to tell kids not to slam the door? Well, door lock parts came loose inside the latch. My sweetheart, first day home from surgery had to get out of bed, take a screwdriver I handed her through the window and remove the mounting screws for the door latch assembly so I could get in the house. The deadbolt had failed and neither the red leaver not my key would operate it. Drilling the lock would not have done it.
All parts were located. I reassembled it, threadlocking as appropriate. When you drive your house around, you have to expect some entropy. And, outsmart it.
I have a friend that had what turned out to be a piece of wooden pallet INSIDE her mounted tires on her Ford Escape. This was after going to the dealership numerous times for this sound that couldn’t be located. The sound was mainly when driving slow. When she’d speed up - no sound - they determined this was because the wood didn’t rumble around any more then with speed. All this to say it could be the most random thing. You just never know. I always enjoy your videos! Thank you all!
Mudflats by weather-tech was the first thing I added to the rear of our F450, then the Gooseneck ball, then the floor liners weather-tech up front - Husky in the rear, dog hammock for the back seat, CB and dash cam ( I’ve since stopped using a dash cam ) now I use my phone ( with an app ) mounted in Ram-Mount.
Look for any tape on your frame, tie rods etc etc.. You would be surprised how loud a piece of tape flapping under a vehicle ( or on top ) makes going down the road. If you don’t have the noise without the trailer in tow, it’s most likely just the fifth wheel slop. Look to see if there is an adjustment. Semi fifth wheels have to be adjusted occasionally.
Yep we been through Savannah GA matter of fact we used to live in Fitzgerald GA for a while I used to work for the electrical motor company there in Fitzgerald GA back in 1999. Well hope y'all enjoy the site's down there it got some really beautiful places down there to go see. Well if you head towards Tennessee by chance go up between Knoxville and Chattanooga a little town calls Madisonville they have got a place called lost sea caverns a really nice place to see and get ready to go on a boat ride in a lake that is 300 ft under ground. Well have a wonderful day and be safe out there and may our loving FATHER above give y'all many blessings and keep you safe in your travels.
I absolutely LOVE that you noted the narrow entrance to Hilton Head Harbor RV!! That was one of our first stops and it was very intimidating to us (Solitude 3740BH)....
LOL...love your line about the camera also being able to take stills. As a still photographer I've just begun to play with my camera for video! This episode cracked me up!
Since you like salads have you ever done a mandarin chicken salad 🥗? It uses lettuce tomatoe onion then mandarin oranges 🍊 and pineapple of course chicken breast cubed and sliced almonds on the top. The thing that puts it over the top is the hidden valley cucumber ranch dressing. Also we usually put in some of those crunchy noodles. Hope you enjoy the recipe.
Just about two years ago, my husband asked me to watch some videos of "this couple," who rv'd. I wasn't interested in rv'ing at that time
. Since then, we look SOOO forward to watching you guys!! We also bought an RV (which we use) and just bought a new truck to tow something bigger...thanks so very much for the fun videos and the informative ones! Wish you all the best!!!
Alright. Alright, already. If it WASN'T the baggage door, what WAS making the noise!!! We wanna KNOW!! Oh, yeah, Savannah was beautiful; really enj'd the photo lesson in the park. Y'all Be Safe!
Now that you have a dually truck, you will want to check between the tire pairs for rocks, sticks and other debris, especially after traveling on unpaved roads. The big problem is getting a rock stuck in there. It will typically wear a hole in BOTH tires and can also be a source of thumping. If the thump is only on concrete highways and not on blacktop, then it is likely the expansion joints in the concrete. (Drives me nuts when I tow...).
Len
Never have I been disappointed with your videos. Loving this channel more each time I watch it.
Keep the rubber on the road.
Appreciate you being around for so long!
@@KeepYourDaydream I remember the first video. The flat tire with the police officer and the guy with a real Jack helping you change the tire.
Clearing out the house and getting on the road.
Keep the rubber on the road.
So awesome to travel with you throughout your journey, my weekly highlight!
When I was in the Air Force we flew into Savannah and was there about 2 weeks . On the weekend we didnt have any flying so about 5 of us went to the RIVERWALK , it was reopened because Of renovations. There was this small little bar and so we go in and listen to this guy singing and playing his guitar, he was really good . He finished his song and we applauded. Some guy come over and told us To quieten down. I assure you all we did was clap our hands . So ,he finished the next song and we clapped our hands . Wrong thing to do, we were told to leave. Until this day we cant thing of anything we were doing that was wrong. I thought that was the thing you do when you like someone's performance , was clap your hands. That was the last time I was on the Riverwalk. Mid 1980's.
Someone many have already commented, but you can "boondock" at the Savannah visitors center for $8 per night, no hook ups but your are right down town, short walk to everything, we have done it twice, we have a Vilano (325) 35ft fifth wheel, little tight getting into the lot, but worth it. Always some 40 ft motor homes there. Just a short walk to the Coffee Company!
We are just finishing up with a trip that is similar to the route you took. We started In Cincinnati and went to Ft Wilderness. We then traveled to Savannah, then to Myrtle Beach, and a final stop in the Smokey Mountains before heading back home.
So cool on the 1 day I spent in Savannah I visited this park & had my picture taken in front of the fountain.
that is a great looking setup you have. My wife and I picked up a 2018 Keystone Cougar 22RBS for our first camper. Pulled by at 2018 Ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins. We will eventually graduate to a 1 Ton with 5th Wheel. I have checked out a lot of your video's to help setup our camper and our first trip was flawless, thank you. Minnesota to Arizona with 1 week stay with zero issues. any newbs to the channel/camper trailer check out the vids with must have's and do's and not to do, they are very helpful.
Just realized who Trish reminds me of .... Markie Post ... voice, some mannerisms, which means you will still be lovely when you are 60 ;-) Thank you both and the fam for all you do.
Savannah is a cool town with a lot to see an do love being close to it all my life.
We were just in Savannah in April.
Such a beautiful place.
Loved Forsyth Park.
All of the interstates in Georgia used be made out of concrete back in the 70s. What you were hearing was probably the dividers between the concrete highway slabs that have been covered over with asphalt..
I always look forward to your videos. Besides being informative, I find them fun because in most RV videos, one partner does all the talking, and the other assists. With yours, everyone seems to be equal partners, even the kids.
After 5 years of driving around Savannah in an F150, I can't imagine driving those streets with an F450. Next time visit Fort Pulaski and some of the old cemeteries.
So, a funny thing happened this past Thursday. My wife and I were in Key West for our anniversary. We were sitting at a light waiting for it to change when I notice a Ford F-250 drive by. I seem to notice them more since I want to get one. As I watch it pass by I see your sticker on the back window. It even had the rock guard flaps on the back. If I didn’t already know you have upgraded to the F-450 I would have chased them down.
You guys need an auxiliary fuel tank. I go roughly 900 miles between stops for fuel while towing if I wait til empty. I usually fill up while the 5th wheel is in the campground. Gives me more options on where to buy fuel, and less of a pain than truckstops.
Sweet Savannah. City that we love. Thanks for sharing. 200K that's amazing congrats. Safe and happy travels
I'm sure you've figured this out by now, but the mysterious thump may be mud flaps. Front mud flaps. My F450 had that same thump on a trip and we finally figured it out after a few hundred miles. The right semi would pass, and THUMP. Front mud flaps would hit the running board and make the noise. Hope that might help you!
I just love your videos and can’t wait to watch them every week. Wish they were longer or you had more then one a week. 😊
I look forward to your videos every Sunday! Just waiting for Trish to get her puppy dog!! Cant wait, it's gotta be coming....Love the new rig!
Your videos are amazing! Well shot, well edited, and the music you guys find is always right on point!!! And the message is spot on and fun! Very uplifting videos!
Enjoyed the video. We go to Savanna several times a year. We have been staying at a campground I won’t mention but it has fallen into disrepair and is still expensive. We will stay at Creek Fire next time. Decent rates, beautiful pool and a huge lake. We stopped in there to ask if we could drive around and the staff was so nice. Also in Savanna don’t miss Kevin Berry’s Irish Pub. It’s the real deal and has fantastic live music. While there walk through the Hall of Heroes salute to our veterans. It should bring tears to your eyes.
Love Savannah. I was stationed at Hunter Army Airfield early in my military career.
One draw back to a 5th wheel is the slack in the hitch, the hitch needs to move and rotate freely. thus it thumps with the load of trailer. You will get use to it. been towing 5th wheels and goose necks for years they all make some noise.
great place to visit looks like. Also thank you for the video on truck and trailer weights.I almost purchased a trailer that would have been 825lb over my GCVWR and you were correct about the sales people when i asked about the trailer weight i would get the dry or unloaded weight so thanks again and keep your daydream going. Jay from Oregon
Seeing as it says this video is 3 years old I'm sure you've already gotten this comment multiple times, but as a native Savannah and I have to tell you that you're Googling was wrong it was not because it's charming and cute it was because the citizens of Savannah knew that General Sherman had burn Atlanta and they were determined to show him so much hospitality and Southern kindness and charm that he spared the city. I've heard that my entire life so I don't know what source you had but it wasn't cuz it was a cute City.
Once again a great episode! I didn't catch if you figured out the thumping noise..?? I had a time with the same thing going on. I found out as we were going along that a rock had wedged in between the rear duals. OK cool.. got the rock out but later on, say a 400 miles later, had a blow out with one of the tires on the duals that had the rock wedged. As we were off the side of a highway that wasn't meant to pull off the side, we found out that not only the blown tire had a severe side wall scuff but both tire were impacted. The roadside service had only one tire for us and so limped back home to replaced the other. Now I tend to check the duals pretty much each time I refuel. Thanks again for the vid and keep safe out there!
We love HHI RV Resort and Marina. Great place to stay.
@keepyourdaydream I too had a ford pickup that made the thumping noise. I can almost guarantee that it is the overload leafs on the rear axle preloading and unloading on their respective bump stops. Unlike other manufacturers Ford uses an overload leaf that sits on top of the leaf Spring pack which requires it to have a separate stop for it to rest on. Due to this and the fact that it is not connected with a shackle it can at times become unloaded to the point where it separates from the stop and then becomes reloaded and makes contact with said stop creating that thumping noise that you hear. I could be wrong but I think that is a strong possibility as to the noise you are hearing.
Thanks for doing the Video from Savannah. My Wife and I love it there. Last summer we camped at Skidaway Island State Park, our site was 90 feet with 50 amp service and the park was AMAZING. it’s a state of Georgia State Park. Every time we go we do one of the trolly tours and walk through the old neighbors. I love your videos.
Oh man...Brianna ‘s dressings are the best. That salad looked soooo good. I learned to use just a small drop of red loctite on the screws for those infernal latches on my old HitchHiker. Seemed that I was always needing to tighten them. You are backing that rig like a boss! Safe travels!
We love Savannah. The park is HUGE! I’ve said it before, but I love the music y’all imbed: “Chill” Your Daydream
We are blessed to be living in Savannah and never tire of seeing the beauty of this area !
We absolutely LOVE Savannah! We've been there several times and had our TT once. We stayed at Red Gate and it was awesome. Lady and Sons, Johnson Square, Tybee Island, Old Fort Jackson, and just lounging in the grass at the old squares. The riverfront candy shops are fenominal.
I never thought I’d binge watch a RUclips channel, but I have been binge watching yours for the last few weeks. I love it. We just bought an Arctic Wolf 5th wheel and we have named her Maddie. We love dogs. It just felt right. You guys are awesome.
Nice. Welcome!
I have gone thru all your videos in a couple months.....very entertaining and informative also we purchased our first Travel trailer back in the fall, and have now purchased a grand design fifth wheel and up graded our truck to 3/4 ton. Love using ours to make memories with each other seeing new places! Keep up the good work and love your new f450 and you hauler.
I just wanted to say a quick thank you for inspiring me! I am no longer waiting for the perfect set of circumstances to follow my DREAM!!!! Looking forward to more from you guys. Just found your channel a few weeks back and have been trying to catch up! :) Congrats on 200k subscribers!
Hello: I'm a time traveler from 2021..Did you know you're a hero to a ton of folks?? We just did a trip to Colorado (non RV) and was considering renting one. Now, after we get a truck, we're definitely thinking of a "starter" RV for our family.
When your wife drops everything to come and look at your newly installed mudflaps on your pick up truck you know you got the "cream of the crop" girl. Just awesome, I am sure my girl would have thrown the spatula right at me. Glad to see Orlando is still under construction a year later.....
Lol.
OMG! Finally had a decent connection in Wyoming to watch this video. THANK YOU for capturing Tivoli (our boxer dog in the beginning of this episode) so beautifully! GAH I freaked out! 😁😁😁😁
Big shout out to Trish's cooking--it takes such conscious intent and planing to eat healthy and tasty food on the road. Your family is very lucky!
Northstar7 totally agree!
Y’all are a Blessing! I’m glad that y’all started doing what you do!
Ahhh! My home state! And, 28 years ago yesterday, my husband and I got married and honeymooned in Savannah! Love that town! On a side note, Sherman also refused to burn our hometown of Madison, Georgia! Loved the video...and the pics!
Love these two little skallywags!
I really love the suspense building as we watch to solve the mystery of the thumping. I worried while we were away camping for a week ourselves that I’d be behind on this post that solves it. Thankfully (though I’m sure you don’t feel that way), it wasn’t solved in this epi!
The dampener on the pickup behind the drivers side rear fender.
You guys are one of my favorite RUclipsrs. I don't know how old you are (you don't look or seem old), even though you have a teenage daughter going to college and two teen boys, and one of them (almost) going into the USAF. Did you ever thought 20, 10 or even five years ago that you could live by traveling and doing RUclips? Yeah know you invested in a cabin and rent it out when you're not using it yourself for Christmas holidays etc. And you probably also talks or lectures about RV life. I just think it's a great way to spend your life and not having 9-5 jobs. What did you do before rv life and what did your family and friends think of you becoming independent RUclipsrs and do traveling as an "alternative" lifestyle?
Mud flaps are not universally required by law, perhaps your state but not all states. Texas is the ONE that has the most hype, however, I have been hauling my 5th wheel via Ford duallys since 2002 and mud flap requirement has never been an issue or concern (registration in FL).
Love the new truck and 5th wheel! Looks slick. Can't wait to see what you think of this new set up in upcoming videos! Stay safe and happy travels.
Love your kitchen hacks Trish! The food you make looks amazing! I bet it's better than anything you can get in a restaurant.
Wow, you guys are doing good and I see that you are getting better on backing that monster you guys are living the dream.
I used some liquid threadlock compound on those latch screws to keep them from falling out on my RV.
This totally works I do this as well!
Beautiful Savannah, GA. Saint Patrick Day is awesome in Savannah! Beautiful City I love to visit.
Hey Marc, check your front tire hubcaps and see if they are turned towards the lock or auto. If they are set at lock the front axle will still engage making a thumping sound. Make sure they’re on auto. That might help.
If you are in Georgia you need to take a trip to Callaway gardens it’s a awesome place for the whole family.
Great video and what is cool about it is the editing just gets better and better
Theres a couple of ways to remove "tourists" from photos that are pretty easy. If youre on a tripod, in Photoshop, the Median stack function in scripts. Just set up on a tripod, and take several identical photos about 30sec to 2 min apart depending on how fast people are shifting in the scene. Its almost 100% automated unless someone is in roughly the same spot the whole time.
Like one of the other subscribers said you could have something lodged between your rear tires. Dually trucks are not the best ride until you are hauling something, then it's like a Cadillac. Regardless, I prefer that type of suspension rather than the soft ride of your usual f150.
….the anticipation for the tire culprit is killing me!!!
My weather tech mud flaps are 6 years old . Still look like new. Use to live in Maryland but now live in SWFL. They have seen all sorts of weather.
We LOVE watching your videos! So entertaining. Still waiting for the puppy though...
Not too much longer :)
Love the video. We staying at the very same place last year for a week and loved it there. We love Savannah and Charleston so much. I think you hearing the chucking of the fifth wheel.
I had that thumping in my truck and it was the front mudflaps blowing back and hitting the side steps. felt it in the drivers floor
It was the same on my new F150 it drove me crazy for ages until i figured it out. Many stops on the side of the road yanking and pulling crap, and they only made the noise when the wind blew a certain way.
I mentioned this in the comments in the cat scale video. Regarding the noise, check that the cam levers on the B&W puck system are correctly adjusted and locked in tightly. I have the same Ford puck system and B&W hitch for my Grand Design Reflection 303RLS. The cam locks need to be adjusted so the levers are tight when locked in. I suspect it is something in the hitch system.
Not hitch related...
Trish is a delight. Affable I sez.
When we stay up their in Savanna we stay at Fire Creek camp ground off of highway 204. It’s new but beautiful. 🙏Enjoy your travels
At 10:14 you talked about the front compartment (generator) coming open. I had to install an actual lock to keep it closed.
Been watching your videos for two days trying to learn as much as possible,Thank you so much ive learned alot.
Noise is the pinbox for the 5th wheel hitch.
Thump is coming from the floor up front.
Wow, something for everyone in this video! Trish, thanks for the cooking/prep tips! Loved the photography part. Kept me laughing. Thanks!
If I haul anything loose (not tied down) in my truck bed with my 5th wheel connected, wind turbulence is so severe that it can lift wood blocks a couple of pounds in weight and throw them out over the tailgate. When they rattled I could feel it in the floor boards. The first time I thought something was wrong, but when I saw my wheel chocks flipping up around the hitch in my rear view mirror (higher than the bed), I learned that was it.
We absolutely loved Savannah when we were there in April. We stayed at a beautiful campground in Hardeeville, SC and drove the 15 minutes back into Savannah twice. I hope you were able to take in the SCAD Museum. It was so incredible. Sharon Shetler
New subscriber! Just my .02 cents , I've recently started flipping Campers to sell and i noticed that the 5th wheels i pull do make a lot of noise, regardless of the size of the 5th they all make unnecessary noises. BUT i noticed the larger units that have the airbag on the tongue of the 5th wheel pull so much quieter and not as rugged. The airbag takes the grunt of the bumps. I'd recommend looking into new tongues with an airbag and convert it to an air ride tongue. It'll prob cost over a grand to do it but you wouldn't believe the differences between them. Being new to 5th wheels myself that's just my opinion. Good luck and safe travels
Watching that the lower door latch broke, maybe you forgot to close and lock it, makes me think I should go back to my checklist, I think all of us after years of rving, we get complacent and think we did everything, sometimes we are our own worst enemies... hopefully it is covered under warranty or at least a very cheap repair. Keep up the great videos, I am picking away at our summer to remember checklist, and hope to knock a few more off this July 4th holiday.
Knew an older fella once who kept hearing a thumping noise when driving and kept bringing it into the shop. So finally the mechanic rode with the gentleman down the road only to find out he was running over the reflectors in the road the entire time he drove. I’m sure it’s not your case but similar story to say the least.
Been loving the fifth wheel content! Our family is about to buy a fifth wheel + a dually so the little things you are learning like the requirement for mud flaps is great info! Thanks so much for sharing!
After more research, it depends on the state, but still a good idea.
We wore our summer to remember shirts while we were in Knoebles PA and took picks to show you guys...trying to figure out how to put it on here.....will be in OC Maryland in a few weeks by the beach for the week.
Instagram #SummerToRemember. We'll see it!
Love my Sunday’s, because I get to see your videos? I love Savannah but I never drove through the city. Always parked at the hotel and took Uber wherever I wanted to go or walked. Can’t imagine driving your rig there or trying to park.
Sorry you guys are having so many issues with your fridge. I had similar on my previous rig and on my new one went with the residential style and although anything mechanical can have problems, I am loving as compared to the traditional RV 12volt/propane style. Food looks delicious...hope it’s fixed for you soon.
Oh, yes...that sweet, sweet music....
