"I opened up the hood and confirmed the engine is there." Awesome!! And that pretty much explains my mechanical abilities as well. Great video as always!
Yep, same here.
The ability to call and pay for a tow truck is one of the best mechanical abilities a guy can have.
I was camping at Crater Lake 17 years ago. It was August, it was beautiful, the moon was huge, and it was 33 degrees at night. To paraphrase W.C. Fields, "One of the coldest Winters I ever camped was a Summer night at Crater Lake."
Have fun at the meet up.
I can't believe he jumped in the water! cold!!!!!!!!!
Oregon is beautiful, love it.
keep the rubber on the road.
Freezing. At least he got some kudos for it!
My husband and I love your guy's videos! It has inspired us to full-time RV and we are in the process of getting things in order so that we can travel the U.S. with our boys. Your videos have been extremely helpful and we have learned a lot. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Jacqueline! Great memories. Let us know if you have any questions.
Whoever edits this videos are a genius. The cuts in the middle of someone's sentence are always on point. I love this kind of humor!
Oh man, welcome. We can't watch vids from this far back, but we're glad you like. We still do our own editing :)
I love how you looked under the hood and admit you didn't really know what you were looking for....now that is man who is secure with his masculinity.......loved it!
When ever you open the hood of your vehicle I think 1.5 minutes is minimum to look at the engine; BUT the most important thing is to lean over reach in and touch & jiggle at least three things. Trish is a CHAMPION, as she was laughing while hefting the 5 gallon gas can,- of course you did have to hold your arm way out to film the action. As usual an excellent vlog
Lol on both accounts. Thanks Ken.
+Ken Lynch Jiggle at least 3 things, AND it is an absolute necessity to grab ahold of the oil dipstick and SLING that baby outta the little tube. And then give that dipstick a very close inspection. (maybe even give the oil a sniff, gotta see if your torque converter is running a little hot and all the oil molecules are combusting at the optimal temperature). :)))
Mutiny on the vlog-best line ever, you guys are so fun to watch. Enjoy your travels
The waterfall was AMAZING! Aside from the sketters... having the sound of a river to put you to sleep at night... relaxing.
The good news was... the sketters were not at Toketee, just that campground.
I'm really loving your musical selections! Very appropriate to the visuals...so nice 😏❤✌
Such great footage guys! Oregon = BEST! I'm an Oregonian, born and raised! Love Toketee Falls and Crater Lake. Can't wait to watch your video from Bend next week! Glad your truck got all taken care of!
Can't wait to RV in Oregon! Gorgeous!!!!
One of our fav RV States no question!
OMG!!! I was laughing so hard when you were talking about standing there looking at the engine! I was thinking oh maybe you did know what you were looking at but I never got that impression from your other blogs. Then you come back in the truck talking about the very thing I was thinking. It was hilarious 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄💚. Thanks for the comedic relief! I loved seeing Crater Lake (of course it was in June). It was beautiful. I can't believe you left us hanging about what was wrong with the truck. As always you do such a great job, not only on the video, but on questions you always ask everyone. 💚💚💚
Lol. You'll be happy to know that I fixed it myself! That's right. With some help from a KYD Insiders that figured out the problem. Trish and I together are pretty good at diagnosing and fixing stuff...maybe more than I let my jokes let on. I can't resist a good joke!
Love your new intro. Oregon is one state we plan on spending a lot of time. Back when I drove truck I went there a lot but never got to enjoy it.
Continue to love your videos. Funny, informative, beautiful. Sound track is really nice. I have only seen a couple. Guess I’ll go back to the beginning. I follow 3 or 4 you tubers w RV.
Wow ur truck did well getting that far. Looked so beautiful at the falls. Did have to laugh ur tori looking at the guy showing u round the coffee factory and shop. She as doing a little firt lol still love ur videos thanks to u all. Love chrissie England xxx
You're at 7,128 feet elevation in the Crater Lake parking lot. It is even more magical in winter when there's no one there, especially when viewed from inside a comfy snow cave at night with a full moon.
Hi Marc and Trish. If you're near downtown Vancouver tonight, be sure to check out the Honda Celebration of Light international fireworks competition at English Bay, starting at 10:00 PM. Several hundred thousand people will watch an amazing 20 minute show put on by Japan. The UK show is on Wednesday and Canada wraps it up next Saturday.
We'd love to do it. Any ideas on how to do it and not get mixed up in gridlock crowds until 2am!?! Lots to do tomorrow we'll need our sleep for.
If you're staying on the north shore, your best choice is to watch the show from one of the beaches in West Vancouver that has a direct line of sight with the barge, which is moored just off of English Bay, near Stanley Park. You definitely don't want to drive downtown. Transit will also be very busy too, so avoid taking a bus or skytrain. I hope that this is helpful.
I laughed so hard at your "amount of time" talk for looking under the hood. On point! 30 seconds to a minute is perfect...lol
We don't have any Dutch Bros here! I wonder if they'll make it to our area. I love small businesses that are known for taking care of their people. Love following your adventures!
13 states on the West I think. Good business don't move to new States without a good plan. Might take a while. They just came to AZ last year.
Marc, we had a breakdown and they towed us to the campground where we had the reservation, then towed the truck to the Ford dealership as well. You guys gotta get AAA. The Pollard's.......
I might be switching. Thx
Bad fuel rail. Common on these engines. Quick fix is to unplug the sensor. It will trick the computer and get you going, but fuel economy will suck due to it running rich. Also, I would not put any load on the engine, like towing, due to the risk of cat failure.
I love the videos and the upbeat attitude. I know how tough it is to stay positive in situations like this...
KYD is the best channel on You Tube!
Thank You for all the great videos.
Hands Down My Favorite Channel Period
:) That's awesome. Thanks!
Coffee... what's not to love? I've never had Dutch Bro's but will definitely add this to our must visit list.
Unfortunately, it's just a West Coast thing. I think 13 states, but so good. We're lucky they finally came to AZ.
Beautiful!!!! You all have the most beautiful videos. I love watching your adventures!
Thanks Leigh
Here's help for your skeeter problem. Neem oil (try health food store or online), place a few drops in your hand lotion and apply, keeps them away, full strength for bites, keeps them from itich'n
We're staying near Mt St Helens tonight and tomorrow night! Are you planning a meet up in the south sound area? Were' hitting the road southbound after Labor Day. We just hit the road full time on 4th of July, but hanging around till end of summer to give our kids a chance to find alternate daycare and to wean ourselves from having our grandson so much. You guys really inspired us and I used your list of must haves for setting up our very first ever travel trailer! We had never RV'd before, but you guys made it so easy to understand and confront the challenges. We're starting our own RUclips channel too! Granna and Grandad's Science Travel Adventure! We're traveling the country and digging fossils, seeing neat geology, astronomical photography,and doing what we always wanted to do but waited till retirement to follow our dream! We're still learning the editing part too! You guys make it look so easy peasy, but it's not! You guys rock! Thanks for the inspiration! PS you should get a Pekingese for your next dog!! Our little Donut LOVES the RV life!
Thanks for the comment. We're in Vancouver BC now. There are many dog ideas... but need something that will do well on a sailboat. We'll see what happens.
Thanks for another great episode.
Just SO much fun!
I’m amazed at how much snow there was at Crater Lake in the middle of summer.
Mosquitos, ugh.
Truck broke down far from home while towing the travel trailer? Yeah, I can tell you some stories.
Being proactive about vehicle maintenance is the key. Also, AAA plus Good Sam or Coach Net. Also, make sure you have a credit card with a lot of credit left to use.
Redundant levels of protection.
Best Of Luck
So sorry that you guys had truck issues! They must be resolved since you are now in BC. We've been debating about getting Good Sam for roadside, but we have heard of quite a few on RUclips mentioning their long telephone wait times and difficulty of Good Sam to come up with a solution; then you mentioned the extra cost because the repair facility was not the closest and I just rolled my eyes. Once again, great video! Lots of great sites and adventures but everything came to a screeching halt when I heard "rice krispy treats", my favorite! Also loved how you had Trish filling the gas tank with that heavy gas can, she's one tough cookie! As always, you guys crack me up! - Rick
:) Thanks. Trish is strong - she used to compete in figure years ago.
We live in Grants Pass! I've known Travis (and his late brother Dane) since they started their first stand in 1991! So glad you had a great time!
My wife and I are actually moving in to our new 26' Cougar August 1st for several months. Not traveling yet, we just need a place to live until we can buy some property here in GP.
We really enjoy your vlogs! Blessings!
Thanks Steve. Very cool. Enjoy!
I LOVE full service gas stations! I miss them so much.
Thank you for this video! My parents moved to Grants pass the Christmas before last and we are visiting this summer. I am so excited now!
"I hope this is just personally embarrassing and not an actual problem." YES! I say that all the time. And when I do, people look at me sideways. Glad to find someone who shares a similar thought process.
:) No ego... just don't like real problems. I'm with you!
Cliffhanger! ( exception know how it turns out) 😊
Lol. The Patreon's got the blow by blow :) In fact, it was an insider that had the solution... not the service center I took the truck to!
I live there in Grants Pass 😊
My husband worked at USave!
Love your videos,very inspirational. You encourage me to take my family to see Yellowstone. I drove from Chicago to WYOMING,wow what a trip. Thanks guys fro fun videos...
Good idea for you to have throtle body cleaner,can of spray and starter fluid.
You made me homesick. This Texan is originally from Bend, my kids are from Medford. You hung out at my favorite stomping grounds. LOVE me some Dutch Bros. It is our family's favorite coffee jaunt (except maybe Human Bean). So glad you enjoyed Oregon. It's a neat, special place.
Thanks for the note. We love it there.
Yea folks! I love your video's. This is one of my favorites! Thank you!
Sounds like you got some bad fuel at the last fill up and that maybe it has water in it or the fuel pump & fuel filter have clogged with debris and needs to be replaced.
This is another great video from y'all. Oregon is beautiful...
It was only kind fuel related...
Your family banter is priceless...cute senses of humor! As an Oregonian, I loved your passion for the beauty here. I'm still experiencing it myself after all these years. Happy travels!
Great videos....Fun, entertaining and while you are in them to don't come off as being about you... Nice work, very enjoyable.
Good to hear from you Ken. It's been a LONG time. Thanks for the comment!
💚 all your family travel videos! Oregon video is "Amazing 👌
Best vlog.... til British Columbia!!! Ahhh To be continued....!!!!
:)
Beautiful waterfalls! Great video!
Well, it had to happen sometime. No matter what you're driving, it will break down eventually.
That bridge in BC is seriously scary (if you're uncomfortable with heights and wobbly bridges...)
You're right. I was almost relieved! 92k miles and only changing the oil just didn't seem right. Trucks are sure built better these days.
We went last year and camped free at Umpqua (spelling). And it was sooooo wonderful! Enjoy! My favorite state too n I am from Pismo Beach!
The drone footage is my favorite part. Vehicle trouble is not fun! Out of fuel, I would say WOW but my son did that once on 183 in Austin at 4 PM and you know how busy that is! Can wait to find out what really happened.
Must watch channel for everyone who loves traveling ... seriously the best channel Im subscribed to!! Keep up the great videos !! By the way they seem to get better and better quality !!
Thanks Evan!
Beautiful scenery! Hope the repair wasn't too costly.
I had to laugh at the mosquito camping. I took my son one time to Bannack MT (first territorial capital of my) and camped in a tent. It was a everything we could do to get the tent put up and get in. Then spent the rest of the night listening to them buzz around the tent. Never saw it that bad before. Pretty cool area for old west stuff. You've probably heard of vigilante' s well that's where they operated. Anyway I know how Trish feels about mosquitos :-) too bad the truck broke down. Hot over here still. We have stage 2 fire restrictions because of fire danger, which means no open fires. So far we've been really lucky and no smoke from the fires. So the park is still awesome. Enjoyed the video, might even have to learn to drink coffee :-) have fun at your meet up.
Thanks Gary. Great comment.
Two years ago the end of June we had to get a tow out of the camp spot we were in. Spent two nights in that spot even though we were only supposed to stay one. That was somewhere south of Bozeman, Mt. $272 later after fixing an o2 sensor see were back on the road. We have so much trouble it's almost like mother nature doesn't want us to go camping, this year was the first of many we didn't really have too many issues, the furnace didn't work so we snuggled up pretty good, that was fixed on our new to us camper last October before we bought it so the guy we got the trailer from fixed it a week ago for free. Haven't gone out to see if it works yet but it should. Helps when your husband is friends with the rv guy too. 😉 I'm still working to get my husband to watch your channel, I think he'd enjoy it, but I told him if we ever get the chance to meet up and go to a meet up I would love to be able to do so.
I thought you were taking a paint tour! LOL - we don't have Dutch Bros coffee here in WI. I've never heard of it before!
Those yellow lines are tone heeded. The week before you were there a helicopter rescue crew had to come and lift a young man out of the crater who was in the area where your family was. He was taking photos, lost his footing in the snow and slid over the edge. The area racks up 2-3 rescues per year.
I live about 40 miles downstream from Toketee Falls. Wish you had stopped by and said hi....lol
The river you camped and swam in is the North Umpqua River and flows by the home we are building.
ugh....We had a Ford 150 that went caput on us about 25 miles outside of Paige AZ last year. It was a bad sensor that was shutting the truck down because it thought the truck was overheating...which it wasn't. About $250 dollars later & an overnight stay, we were back in business. Brings back memories of towing the truck & Airstream.
Trish is right. By June you be lucky to find any parking (trailer or not) at Crater Lake.
Having been to crater lake about 5 times, I would suggest arriving late May before Memorial Day. You won’t be able to drive around the lake, it it you want to park and go into the visitors center, it will be much more accessible.
Dutch Bros ...Sugar free blended Carmalizers....absolutely the best!
From I-5 heading to Crater Lake there is a small road you can take that takes you to the headwater of the Rogue River. It's just a little spring that pops out of the ground from under a couple large rocks and grows to become the mighty Rogue River.
Cool tour. mmmm, could smell that coffee from across the screen. Yum.
Peace! 🌈🌈
So good. We love Dutch.
Your daydream is turning into a nightmare! I hope the problem with the truck wasn't anything serious, I'm waiting anxiously for the next video! #KeepYourDaydream
Yes, Rice Krispy Treats to calm our nerves... it's complete mayhem!
omg! worst night mare to have your vehicle break down. BTW love your videos, we just got an RV and are newbies to everything. Thanks for your videos.
Surprisingly, not as bad as it seems. You have the rig to hang out, work, make rice crispy treats :) It would be bad on a 3 day trip for sure!
I know I'm a few years late with the comment, but I'm just finding your channel and am completely addicted! I'm so bummed that you didn't catch Crater Lake on a clear day. It makes for a completely different experience, just breathtaking. Overcast is still beautiful but I hope you find your way back there one day.
Yosemite is 20 dollars which is good for a whole week and I believe you can get to sequoia national park with it, but you just have to double check with the ranger there.
The funny thing about the full service gas in Oregon is the fact that some people who lived their whole life in Oregon do not know how to gas up their cars. A few times a year I will be at the gas station and there will be someone from Oregon asking how to fill up...
I was born and raised in Oregon and was in my mid 20's before I ever pumped my own gas. I was terrified! I remember thinking "I can't believe they just expect people to know how to do this!"

:) It is so nice watching this snowy video :) I'm sure you are fully aware of the weather back here in Arizona :) Thank you for another great video guys!
You guys are great to watch. Hope the truck is a easy fix folks. Jim in Yosemite, Ca.
saludos amigos.....im waiting for more videos from Mexico...saludos...
You need to buy a scanner easy to plug in
My home state! I miss "Dutch Brothers!" My favorite is the "Anialator!" Crater Lake is 52 miles north of my hometown. Klamath Falls. lol! Great video! It's all so familiar! Google the story about Dutch Brothers. One passed sadly away. When I go to Peoria, Arizona, I get my Anialator..some day they will come to Orange County. 🌴👍Sorry about your engine trouble.
Bummer!! Our AAA RV gold plus will tow up to 100 miles. We used it for our Sturgis trip when our motorcycle broke down. Destination was 99.5 mikes!! Lol😆whew
Will look into it!
Yes, definitely get AAA! They have so many perks. They will even tow bicycles! They have an app to see discounts near you, concierge service when 100+miles away from home, 20% off Hertz, discounted or free passport photos depending on member level... and more! We have used them recently for towing and they were quick to help! And we live in the country! The rep was super helpful and the tow driver was even more helpful on choosing a trustworthy repair shop. :) Since we used up our tows we added tow service through our insurance just in case we break down again.
Our AAA Premium RV and motorcycle I think is 200 free miles per year.
Like a 150 bucks a year.
We recently got AAA Platinum. The peace of mind is well worth the price.
My first thought is a clogged fuel filter. I have seen this dozens of times. A clog can be like a flapper that allows the vehicle to start but shuts down when the fuel pressure pushes the clog close and stops the fuel flow. The second is a clogged fuel line and the third is fuel pump locking up. Of course there is also the possibility of iced up fuel line but that is unlikely.
We were just at Crater Lake a week ago. There was still some snow on the ground. Earlier this month in Sequoia my truck wouldn't start either. Fortunately it just lost prime and with a few pumps we were back on the road. By the way touch a few things under the hood. That way your hands are dirty and it looks more realistic.
How did I forget to touch something. Then I would have gotten to wash my hands during my diatribe :)
Gee, you should be opening that hood at least once a week, according to the maintenance schedule. And if you get creative about what you touch, and in a random order, you will be able to keep everything clean throughout the year with just finger prints.
And in a little over a year, you might be able to identify the Dipstick eventually.
...and NEVER, EVER use a tissue to wipe your hands. That's an automatic 90 day suspension of your man card! Extra points if you just rub the dirt into your hands and produce a low guttural groan and grimace!
I was just reminded that on June 15th of 2014’ we were caught in a blizzard at Crater Lake.
Looks like you all are having fun. We are in Birch Bay, WA. right now enjoying some festivals going on or we would jump across the border and come visit with you all. Stay safe and we might see you guy's on the road sometime.
Love ur channel. I have been watching all seasons.
Thumbs up for the SOCIAL BUTTERFLY! Ahhh the benefits of RV camping with a Certified Mechanic...lucky me! (love ya Marc)
For us non-mechanics thats exactly what we do! The White House Campground site is beautiful!
Love the longer videos!
Hope I get to Orgeon someday. Looks amazing. Keep making amazing videos!
Awesome! while the kids were missing their "DUTCH BRO'S" We've Missed the family! Glad to see a new video.. Keep Rock'n Your Daydreams! Mickey & My Dog (Rascal B. Ornery) "Full-timers in 2 months" Thanks for the advice, knowledge and for helping us keep our dreams alive..
Hi guys! We really enjoy your channel, and laugh every time we watch an episode. We are just now watching season 3, and are residents of Central Point (near Grants Pass). We would live to suggest you revisit Crater Lake in the late summer and do the complete rim drive. Camping there is awesome and the Lake is even a more incredible shade of blue than you can imagine. If you find yourselves in the area again, hit us up for hiking and camping suggestions!!! The mosquitoes are not bad at that time of year either. PS every time you said Tokatee Falls we laughed so hard. Your cute mispronunciations are a source of amusement for us.
LOVE Dutch Bros!!! Moved to TX recently and there is no Dutch Bros here... :( you guys have awesome vids! Very inspiring! Just bought our family’s first RV and can’t wait for the adventure!
Beautiful spots heading that direction next week. Just added a couple of places thanks to you. 😎
We had a travel trailer for 9 years (2005 to 2013). We often found it easier to find open RV parking than regular passenger car parking here in Oregon. Cannon Beach is one prime example of that. Now when we take a day trip in our car, it can be almost impossible to find a parking space.
Hey Guy's,
Always when your not expecting it is when the truck won't start. Good to hear you figured it out. To bad the Dutch Brothers didn't offer a couple bags of coffee as give away items...that would have been the cat's meow fir ciffee drinkers.
I'm biting at the bit right now and would love to go to B.C....I going to have to wait....😑 and just watch your video's and live through you vicariously.
Hugs,
Sandy & Jay Livesay
ha ha ha!! Tok Ahhh Tee Falls is beautiful. We had a VERY tough winter in Central Oregon this past year. Truly the worst many could remember....hence, more skeeters. :-( Be sure to see Tumalo Falls in Bend. Same thing - short hike. Can walk behind it. It's near Bend.
HILARIOUS!! "How long do you need to stand in front of the engine with the hood up?" Right? Whaaat? It's not intuitive and part of our DNA?
That is awesome open, honest and transparent!! KYD ROCKS!!! Live-Life-Loud!!! Ohh one question, When are you guys going to get on those bikes again??? LOL, Later!!!
Yeah, the boys use them daily in the RV parks, but Carson broke his derailer and chain. Caleb's bike needs service. The rain messed up Tricia's bike... so the boys are using my bike and Tori's bike. Thus, the 5 of us are not going on rides. I'd get them serviced, but the rain will just mess them up again. It's a problem!
The places you visited were beautiful! I would have liked to seen more than the brief bits that you showed though.
"Mutiny on the vlog!" Ha ha ha!!
:)
You mentioned working off the inverter, what do you have for a battery set up? Excellent video as usual.
This Wed is out solar video - we cover our setup. Stay tuned.
Always a pleasure watching all of you! Keep it up. Safe travels!
When you get to Southern Washington you need to check out Ape Caves near Mt.St.Helens. It is going to be very hot (for this area) and you will need a coat for the lava tubes. You can drop your trailer at my place which is ten miles north of Portland.
We finally have one near me!! First day of the month they have stickers! And Any coffee is better than S***bucks.. but Dutch Bros is good coffee!
Keep Your Daydream, what happened? Why won't your truck start? That sucks the fuel pump went out. I have a 1999 Ford Expedition and it runs great! We have had a few Mechanical Problems but it still runs great!!! Wish the meet-up was in Vancouver WA not Vancouver BC!! Have a great time at the meet-up!
AAA-a given ;) oh and IDK if u know the story about the "Bros" but 1 passed away from Lou Gherigs I believe and they give back HUGE to their communities and believe have own foundation for research on LG's disease- I WAS ALSO very impressed by them and Im a Seattlite=Starbucks......but now we have em in WA!!! Yes good coffee! But i hear their sodas are bomb!
Crater lake is great! You should also look at cave junction and the ice caves tour, super great!
Great video ... beautiful territory. I hope you continue to travel indefinitely.
ps ... love your photobomber. He's hilarious! ♡
Glad you got your truck running and your back on road. I don't know what your mechanical problem is but with fuel injection, when you run out of fuel, it requires some effort to get fuel to flow once again. Looking forward to hearing what your problem was so we don't experience same issue.
You're close and it was fuel pump related... the solution was simple :)
Is your F350 gas or diesel?
Keep Your Daydream turn the key from on to off a dozen times before cranking it? Been there!
Well great. You wont have to worry about that for a while..
Wait, what is the one thing that changed before the "Fuel related" problem? You just turned responsibility for handling your fuel over to an Oregonian. Troy and Eric. Yup, they'll have you coming back again. Did they have a special on Fuel pumps this week? Next week Fan Belts!
You never had ANY problems before this when you were doing your own fueling. Just saying.
Wauw, we need Dutch Brothers in the Netherlands haha. Pretty weird that we don't have it. Thanks for the new video guys!
In Oregon you can pump your own diesel. But you can't pump gasoline. One exception to that is if you have riding a motorcycle. they usually just hand you the pump to do it yourself.
I love your videos! Our plan is to start RVing within the next 18 months; not full time, however. I am thinking that your fuel pump went out. Nowadays, fuel pumps are cooled by the fuel in the tank. If you let the fuel level get down below-1/4 of a tank is what most shops and dealers recommend-regularly it drastically reduces the life of your pump. I had mine go out at around 160K on my Grand Am years ago and now I don't let the tank get below 1/4 very often. Mine gave up on me on my way home from work about 10 miles from home...On a full tank of fuel of course.
Keep up with the great videos. I sit my wife's down to watch you guys from time to time. Do you miss not having a place to call home, I mean a house to return to every couple of months?
You're right about the fuel levels. I learned that during this ordeal and probably caused the underlining issues, but the solution was simple. We'll end up buying a smaller place that we can put on the vacation rental market and use it to regroup when we're home, but I don't miss the big house and part time job keeping it running :)
