- Join us for KYD Coffee ☕️ These are smaller meet-ups with the KYD Insiders / keepyourdaydream
We love the big meet-ups, but they take a lot of planning and preparation. KYD Coffee is fun and easy.
ℹ️About the episode: We mentioned in last week’s Alaska recap that the drive home from Alaska was much harder, but it didn't have to be that way! It was our fault for being in a hurry, running low on groceries, waiting until the last minute to get fuel and driving late into the night. All these little bad decisions compiled and created fatigue and grumpy moods.
How did we kill the endless hours driving in the truck? Coming up with the Top 10 Ways to Ruin Your RV Trip. We hope you get just one idea that will help you on your next RV trip.

Been following Y'all for a while now as we do research for our own RV adventure... fyi... you did NOT come through as arrogant. You guys are the most refreshingly normal and inspiring family on you tube.... IMHO... all the best!
I'm still laughing at Caleb's response at the border. "Just memories and Joy" LOL
Sherry Vann what a shame they don’t have a sense of humour! Brilliant answer Caleb.
"Memories and joy," you guys taught him right. That's what traveling is about. When the kids say that, it's priceless. Great Episode. Wish I could get the wife and kids onboard to travel full time. Back in AZ? It's a beautiful fall!
The part about the reservations killed me 🤣 I've HAD reservations and still had that conversation before!
LOL
Love your videos! I have lived in Vancouver most of my life. The glass on the buildings is all the same colour because of City Bylaws . They have allowed a few variations in recent years with the new downtown casino. I really enjoyed your Alaskan trip. I'm looking forward to your next adventure.
Funny story about arriving to a campground at night......
A year or so ago we ended up pulling into a private campground outside of Tahoe pretty late (after dark). The host had been in pretty close contact with us all afternoon, which seemed strange . When we arrived he comes out with his flashlight to tell us where are site was. First thing out of his mouth is, "Oh good you have four wheel drive" 🤔😯 😂 Not what you want to hear after a long day of travel and a trailer behind you. It ended up OK. Just a back in up a dirt hill and then down the longest site we have seen to this day with trees on both sides and a drop off at the end. My husband handled it like a champ, and no one had to apologize for anything they said while backing the trailer 😂🤣
I can’t tell you how important it is and how much I appreciate the respect you two have for each other’s (main) responsibilities....for instance it is so hard as a mom to keep everybody fed and have food on hand to be prepared when the husband has to fight about letting me go get groceries, then is angry because there is no meal when you get to your destination (home, camping, traveling)....ugh, I’m so glad those days are over ! Now the kids are grown, he’s an ex and I buy too many groceries 🙄
Anyhow your respect for each other and for your children is very evident and very refreshing !!!
2 things I agree with on this video! We like to get a pizza when we get somewhere (camping or not) because everyone is usually wore out. I also park the same way for the same reason. I also try to angle my truck to where it’s pointed out just in case you have someone who is inconsiderate!
I finally found a full-time, work from home job that I have an interview for tomorrow. I'm pretty excited if I do get the job. My girlfriend and I's goal is to save money through the winter and fall and come May or June, buy a used class C motorhome and start out traveling for 3 months and see if we like it.
Best of luck.
It's "my girlfriend and my", not "I".
I hate to be that guy (obviously not rly, cuz here I am doing it).
General rule is, take the other person out and say the sentence, then reinsert the other.
Many apologies. Hope this was actually helpful.
James Briggs - good luck!
@@hhiippiittyy It must be difficult for you in this age of spell check where no one is taught how to structure a sentence. How did I do?
Annoying but correct...
Actually it was kind of refreshing to see and hear Marc pissed off for a change. It shows the human side and that not everything is peaches and cream all the time. Love all your videos. Thanks!
Haha! The oranges never stop being funny! Great tips!
Always fun seeing my home through someone else’s eyes
Travel day meal - Corn on the cob and marinated flank steak. Steak is the best when it bounces down the road all day in marinade.
Laura Vandermate easy and tasty!
We carry a big tank of water in the bed of our truck with a little gas powered pump so we can refill our water while dry camping. We then don’t have to worry about using all our water. It fills our tank about 3 times. If we are somewhere dry camping for an extended time period or with friends who tent camp but use our toilet and shower I will run to a nearby town and fill our bed tank again when it gets low. It takes a lot of stress out of dry camping.
Glad your sense of humor is well intact, especially Caleb. Welcome back to the lower 48. What a great summer you shared with all of us. Thanks for all the good info!! Shelley from San Diego
"Ford F-450". My Dad purchased an F-350 back in 1999, found an outfit in Florida that made Ford badges, so he relabeled his F-350 an F-550. A month later I purchased mine (F-350 Dually) and immediately had it labeled an F-650. One-upmanship is alive and well. Now, with an early '99 with only 100k on the odometer, I still get looks. That first Nordhavn (I saw what you did there) "Due North" is a charter ($6KUS for two, 5-day trip thru the San Juans) the second (N62/37) is, I believe, "Barrington". Currently on the market. M/V Cassidy is apparently back in the SF Bay Area, nothing on their trip back South, hope all is well. Great wrap-up to the Alaska Voyage with my favorite scene being the momentary look on Trish's face when you mention renting bicycles at 16:34. Priceless. Please share my thanks with the entire family for the most entertaining videos on RUclips. They have never failed to deliver. Carry on.
a great fuel app is, Gas Buddy it gives you local fuel prices and addresses based on your location. You can search by fuel type, and by City
I'm always in a hurry. Leslie is an overplanner. Very helpful. Thanks guys.
😂
Several things they brought up were excellent! I’ve travelled a bit with my brother and our families... and we are so different! He wants to plan EVERYTHING, eat while driving, run the gas tank to not just empty... but fumes, restrooms be damned... pee in the bottle while we drive. And I... well I’m different, I don’t like those things. LOL!
😂🤣
On parking in a lot, I pull a variety of different length trailers from 14’-48’ everyday in a city setting and find parking in a lot like you do good practice; I just take up more of the parking space in front of you by pulling in deep to the passenger side curb and turning the truck to the left so the truck is out of line with the trailer. This assures me that no one will block me in from the front and I am set up already to pull out of the parking spaces. It also takes up less spaces. 😉.ps I have been on board from your first flat tire on RT 17 heading up to Flagstaff.
same here Mark, "Time to go got places to be !" Slow down and smell the roses
I KNEW it... Yet Another AMAZING vid... Absolutely loved it (from the regular recording to the great tips)... Thanks So much KYD!!! 🤗😁
Wow, that Vancouver skyline is amazing. Great tips, even for non-travelers.
BTW, a tip for parking at the shopping center lots. Carry with you an orange-striped traffic cone in the track and put it at the entrance into the parking slot in front of you. Works like a charm every time 😃
I'm going to get one!
We stayed at Capilano RV park. Location can't be beat! But yes it is a "city stay" tight space and city noises. Love your videos!
to answer your question, Yes, there is a bylaw that the buildings in that area you were in have a "green tint" in the glass to look consistent. And one reason why it looks like Toronto is the same builder built the highrises in both cities (Concord Pacific)
So true about arriving after dark! We always try not to but often wind up doing it. We try to be as quiet as possible and approach with minimal lighting when we approach in the dark out of respect of those who may not want headlights shined in their faces at the campfire, or in their tend or windows if they are sleeping.
So glad you enjoyed your time in our old home town of Vancouver. Really enjoying your adventures and hope you get a chance to visit us here on Vancouver Island some time in the future. Travel safe and Keep Your Daydream (helps us keep ours.)
“Let’s go to a museum.” He is a changed man. Haha!
A tip I learned on long trips is to build in slush time. For example, if it's a 5 day trip make the 3rd day a "rest" day. You don't have to rest but it just gives you a free place in your planning for improvise. This helps with not over planning and also the "rushing" problem.
Welcome back to the lower 48! Your top 10 list is pretty spot on. Weve been full timing for 17 months. On travel days we like to order delivery for supper. We too, dont rush things, we tend to make mistakes when we rush to set up or break camp. One thing we are very different from you guys is we always have reservations made. We are a tad OCD about that. We find great comfort in knowing we will have a place to stay at days end. Anyways you guys rock your videos! Love watching them!
Great video.
It created good conversation for our travels.
I don’t think the flowers, trees, and fruit are a sign of age but more of the photography skills developing more and more.
Thanks for the tips.
Shirts need to be made up with the "Just some memories and some joy" phrase!! Hilarious.
Just another fantastic video. And it could’ve been two or three. Really appreciated your top 10 list. Maybe do it again sometime and expand even further with more details and reasons. I will be traveling solo and I can’t even flippin’ imagine how you all coordinate your travels with a family of 4 to5 people! Kudos! Such a funny border crossing with the whole citrus inquiry and specific questions to the teenagers. I learned to go slowly when I did a 6 week road trip in a 69 VW bus back in the 90’s, so will have no problem not rushing along once I am full-timing 🤗 🌈 But again, it will be just me and a negotiation-free experience 😂 Always look forward to your Sunday videos. Do keep them coming please! 💕😎
In the 40 years we have set up tent camping or RVing, 95% has been in the dark. When it has been light out, the stress level is about 95% less. One tip we do is to always go around the rig and the camping area again before leaving. We've saved our antenna and our pressure regulator on the water hook up several times!
Thank you for brightening my day. Much appreciated. You guys are one of the main reasons we will be on our way out on the road the end of next year. We can't wait. The worst part of deciding we wanted to do this over a year before we could has been the waiting. I'm done. I'm ready. We both are but there's still all this time left.
Great advice....but I just like to see a happy family getting along, enjoying what they are doing. A welcome relief from what is going on in the country today. The video quality is really great. Can't wait for the next video. Thumbs up!
I was half expecting the border agent to ask, "what's the wing velocity of a sparrow?"
or what type of underwear do you have on. sheesh
Great great tips. 👍❤ We have been RVing (not fulltume) for a year and have not left California yet. So much to explore and keep the driving under 4 hours.
We have so much fun and there is not toooo much stress.
Super season! Marc, it's not just flowers and fruit, you have a way with vegetables and meats too. Great advice too.
Holy crap, that's what it looks like at the RV stealer-ship where we bought our new 5th wheel . Rigs on top of each other, with just enough room to walk between them, as long as you don't exhale. Are you sure number 11 isn't just sell your rig and move on? Just saying...
All kidding aside your videos are always thought provoking and right on target. The one about trying to do to much in to short of time period is the big one we finally learned a couple years ago. We find it much more enjoyable with a slower pace like you said get off the road by 3 to 4 oclock so you get time to unwind each day. Or just take a couple days and sit tight and really get to know the area you are in. GOOD STUFF.
👍
Yea we usually arrive to a site on a Friday night, I added a backup LED light and backup alarm...I can see but I feel bad when we have to backup and the alarm sounds. If possible I look for pull through site. Still RVing is fun! We’ve been RVing for 20 years
Have fun guys
Many things I thought of to say during this episode, so I will just choose one. My cousin who has lived in Vancouver for probably 4 decades says this as we are crossing the Lions Gate bridge you crossed. Just as we enter the bridge she says something like oh no I am low on fuel and when she is low on fuel she is really LOW on fuel. Then she says, if you run out of fuel and stop on the bridge they will tow you at your cost and there is a huge fine! Oh! No! I freaked! Geez, Louise! Love Vancouver, you guys are also up on that list too!
Absolutely one of my top favorite RV parks.
Nice fruit videography Mark! Loved it!
I use the Gas Buddy and the IExit apps. They help when we travel.
Great vid, and very helpful to demystify the border crossing for RV travelers. I cross the US\Cdn border frequently. Random pullovers happen (in either direction) and filming the crossing is not permitted, so viewers should know that it’s best to turn off recording devices when crossing. If you get pulled over and the agents see a camera you may face some “questions”.
Great GREAT GREAT Tips. Tip #6 is our pet peeve. On our trip home from California to PA this month, we stopped every night in the dark. We were so tired and stressed by the time we got to PA we made a pact we would not travel that way again no matter what the circumstances were. Now we are on our trip to Arizona (Quartzsite) and we are in a campground by 2 pm. And we are taking a month to get there!
Vancouver and Toronto have building codes for near perfect reflection on the water. I'm on Vancouver Island and anything has to be anything you want it to be.
Simply the best👍🏻👍🏻😃
Trish's teleporting is gold! 😂😂
Your advice fits in many areas of life. I have not been to Vancouver before, but after your videos I will have to visit. I've been to Seattle a lot. There is much to see. We are at the time of year where we watch the snow move up and down the mountains, but will not be long before it moves into the valley for the season. Thanks for you're videos they make my week.
We really enjoyed staying at that campground in Vancouver! Convenient to the city, etc.
I had to laugh at your “ Do you have reservations “ Been there. Two RV,s in the park. I can see his reservation book is empty as he scans the page.🤬I was tired,hungry and not in the mood. I drove another 200 miles that day😎
My fav - fill up at 1/2 tank or divorce the SOB if you ever get to Tahoe! No diesel between Sacramento & Tahoe ....now no diesel!!! #GassersRules
Love the Vancouver drive thru background music. Kinds maniacle!
Great tips that one probably wouldn't think about starting out. I had to laugh with the border agent and his questions. Then Caleb and his jokes-that kid is awesome and cracks me up all the time! I also loved the tip about parking in a shopping center. Something you might not think about until you brought it up about getting parked in! So much to think about when RVing! Thanks again for a fun and informative video! Hugs, Brenda
WOW now that is what I call a navigator, way to go Trish!!!!
Great season following you in Alaska! We live in the Gig Harbor Washington area. We got a toy hauler last year December and have learned a lot from you guys and with our mistakes. We have certainly enjoyed our many outings over the past 10 months. The last time we crossed from Vancouver into Washington it help to wear seahawks gear! Lol, you get asked fewer questions!
Hey Marc and Trish- thanks so much for the reply to me on your last video (I think)- You were very polite, and I didn't realize how busy you are (duh!),- I'm just glad you are home safe and happy. No reply needed, just wanted to wish you guys many blessings! Bob
Also, when an unexpected disappointment happens,(and it will!!!) never take your disappointment out on your loved ones. 🙂
Soda day! That's great. We have POP SUNDAY AT MY HOUSE. Great job guys. 👍👍👍
Whole heartedly agree with all of these!
Good advice on the parking lot parking. We do the same thing. I hate boarder crossings... don't have a lot of experience, but hate the questions. No Jokes for sure!!
Good catch on the skyline. As I'm a little more eclectic that really bothered me. I understand being the same, served in the Corps, but having the buildings the same sucks the soul out of a city, IMO. great video per usual. 😃
Your spot on with these!...I’ve also learned some of them the hard way
hahaha I fully expected to see Marc trying to eat up a bunch of oranges before crossing the border lol. Fun to watch video as always :-)
Marc I love the fruit and flowers shots. You are getting so good at them. Lol 🤣 are insects next?
I'll start researching.
We just returned home after 4months on the road in Western Australia, act 20,000 klms and we drove from Perth to Sydney in 11 days, never ever again, that was going every day...and thats in a camper trailer everyday widing out the tent part...OMG
Hi you guys!! Another great video and Vicki and I loved the border crossing lol.
Great top 10 tips. I have found it best to take a chill pill prior to departure and when we leave we leave, be it an hour or 3 hours from my target time.
Great video as usual! I look forward to Sunday night! And it wasn’t because you were hungry...I hate when people make a big deal out of something and then essentially show you it’s no big deal🙄
Liked before watching. I just know. 👍🏻
Good man. 👍
Great tips...experienced most ourselves and learned to avoid them!
I'm watching this around 2 am so it was nice and relaxing. Love the music. Great tips. I also love that before the boys answer the border patrol you have to quickly say "no jokes," haha! you know them so well.😂Although Caleb was able to squeeze one out that didn't get y'all pulled over and searched.😁Love y'all. Hope wherever you are at this very moment that you are sound asleep after having an amazing day.😊❤💗❤💗😴
Hey Marc and Trish, it was so great to hang out with you last week. We are meeting up with 2beards and a babe now. Thanks for all your help. Cant wait to release the videos of our trip across the US. Thanks again, or should I say that with the dog head? LOL. GREAT VIDEO!
You guys are so entertaining and have very useful RV advice. We just bought a small travel trailer (Casita ) so thank you for your tips
I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos soon my son and I will try this ourselves there’s so much to remember I’m so afraid I’ll goof it up
WELCOME TO VANCOUVER
Hehe, I don't wait until 1/4 or 1/2 tank of fuel before looking for a stop. On the morning of a travel day, I plan a diesel stop where I think I'll be b/w 1/4 to 1/2 a tank then I route to that station. Less of a worry now with a 100 gallon diesel class A but it was a habit I picked up when we had a travel trailer towed with a V10 Excursion which needed much more frequent fuel stops.
I find such Joy in your videos, thanks for the laughs! :) P.s loved Marc 's swag in the park, lol.
welcome to Canada.............I'm from Ottawa Ontario. Wish I could meet this wonderful family
Your videography skills are top notch. Did you have training in this? About what percentage of your footage makes the final cut? 10%, because you shoot an enormous amount of hours or 40% because you are efficient and are almost editing on the fly and therefore actual editing time goes smoothly because you don't record excess. Your are also very good at capturing all the B-roll footage to help tell the story. I am envious of your skill. :)
Great video Mark and Trish and all the information .
Ahh... The Capilano RV park... At first I was shocked you could have both the slides and awning out... Then at the 11 min plus mark, realized that you then got a neighbour and that was not possible. Great location... Tight quarters! I hope you had a chance to walk to Stanley Park from there.
Luv the music 13:18
I parked behind a truck and bumper tow at a Maverick the other day....taking note that they could pull out straight ahead. They had a parking spot in front of them. Of course I was quick and left before them.
You guys are the funniest darn couple ❤️
Yes Marc and Trish Vancouver does have an ordinance to keep building looking similar. You may have noticed one building that’s dark glass on the lower floors but once it reaches like 20 floors it changes to the green clear glass all the way up to the 50th floor.
Sorry we missed you! You should have been in this video. Next time. We'll be back.
Clear glass on the upper floors? Must b tough on migrating birds!
no ongoing bird issues as seems glass is dark enough to prevent this.
The city buildings all look alike because they are all built at the same time. A lot of Vancouver's were built for the Olympic Games in 2010. Hope Caleb had a great time with his friends.
Kudos on the vlog. The most aggravating thing in the years I've been traveling in my coach is arriving at a RV resort (not going to give the name of place) in Michigan and told we don't have your reservation. I had my confirmation number and they still would not let me in.
I was invited to this resort by the sales office and they would not let me stay. So off to find a spot to stay the night and I did in a shopping center. Woke up to find a car parked in front of me Simi truck next to me. I thought I'll park at end of the lot passenger side to the curb, open space in front.
I waited for hours for the owners to get the car and Simi truck and then I got a call from the resort and was told they had made a mistake and I was welcome to come back and stay for half the cost. I finally called the police and asked them if they could run the plates of car and Simi. They did, the car was an employee and truck driver was never found. Thank goodness the car was moved and I was able to squeeze by the Simi and get free.
Keep the rubber on the road.
I'm not even a little surprised. Fortunately, days like yours are not often, but it is overwhelmingly frustrating.
Hahaha "we have blueberries" lmbo
The only RUclipsrs where I watch the whole video 💕🎉
This might just say something about my attention span 😂
katie blossom- What? I only read half your comment.
@@mikemiller9119 😂😂
Or that their vids are way more interesting and educational than others
Two Nordhavns in one KYD video and I’m not st the end yet. OMG. I know what Marc is thinking......
Caleb...Sounds like something a young Mark would of said in his younger days. LMAO!
Oh, Caleb 😂!
Great video, friends, and wonderful tips!
Great top ten list. Taking notes!
Good Tips to follow
That market reminded me of Phillie’s Reading Terminal. Great place! If you’re ever there go to DiNic’s for their sandwiches.
Caleb just made us question if we should risk crossing the border with our children in tow, LOL...or just keep our RV adventures to the continental US for a few years. :)
Very informative as always, but especially helpful as our family if five (and three dogs) are embarking on our first big trip. We laughed at Caleb at the border, one day he’ll get yanked and you guys should just wave and pretend to drive on. Haha
