Class C RV Trip to 🌵 Saguaro National Park

[@stephenlawson4973]

Thank you for teaching your son how to drive a manual transmission. It is a dying art.

[@14jsu]

Poor Charlie, but he added a new level of entertainment in a humorous way.

[@brianbower2845]

Definitly Charlie doesn't like motorized rvs

[@linpedigo4964]

Love Charlie, poor thing. Love the voiceover too! Felt like I was watching the new version of Mr. Ed, doggie style!😂😂😂

[@MargoJ1546]

Charlie was definitely the star of this video!!! 🐕

[@JGUNW1R3D]

I can really tell Trish is not down with the SS Scurvy-Camp. We’ve rented one ourselves and it’s sort of like staying at a rundown motel (SS Scurvy-Camp), when you’re used to a nice resort (Airstream). Also, as you accumulate miles they turn into squeak boxes. We rented one for a trip down to Lake Patagonia in Southern AZ and had a blast, but we had to wear earplugs due to all the squeaking. This video, while it seems tough for you to film, was the most “real” rendition of what RV camping can be the first few times you venture out in a new rig. Thanks for showing everything - blemishes and all.

[@robinmcdougall2861]

Maybe it’s because they rented a Jayco!!! If they had rented a Tiffin they may have had a better experience. We have a class C Wayfarer and we don’t have any of those problems.

[@cindyherget5196]

I really like this comment Thanks

[@PatrickWagz]

Thanks for keeping it real in this episode, Marc. "What is inside the oven? A band??" Happy Mother's Day to Trish. Legend has it... Charley is still sitting in that front passenger seat!!

[@gregoryfuller30]

I love the Charlie voice overs. I have laughed at all of them so far!

[@nbrowser]

Been feeling kind of down lately, kinda meh and whatnot...so figured I'd binge on some KYD videos the past week days...spirits lifted a lot! Trish, Marc, Caleb...you have no idea how good it is to see you folks out there being POSITIVE about everything possible, thanks for all the great quality content and hope you folks don't stop any time soon. Y'all are incredible inspiration.

[@a_bus_and_a_pyr]

Charlie is the star of this video, him sitting there waiting and the ratchet strap for a leash, priceless. My dog as alot of similarity with Charlie. And what breed of dog is Charlie? My Pyrenees would have barked for the entire time being left alone.

[@djones1231]

Poor Charlie! He looked so lonely when you were leaving him to go to dinner.

[@35thvert1]

Poor Charlie. He waited in the front seat ready to leave the entire time. Best line from this week... "I might be right behind him."

[@peaceflmeadow]

When I saw the Subaru was was a manual made my heart happy. Teaching the kiddo on a stick, awesome. :)

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

My bestie drove a stick & that skill gained her major points with her new boyfriend who loves cars. They’ve been married since May 1980

[@janna8437]

Yes! I learned on a manual and so will my daughter.

[@scottb4693]

My HS girlfriend got a manual as a birthday gift, but she couldn't dirve it! So guess who had to teach her? Love sticks!

[@lucygray6162]

After spending a few real-life holidays with friends who absolutely couldn't deal with disaster, it is so nice to see a family of good sports making the best of things. The Duct Tape Special was not a good start for you but you went forward with it. I can no longer travel due to a disability, but I do enjoy riding along with your family. I appreciate your positive view toward adventure, your interaction with other people, and Caleb taking advantage of the unique opportunities provided by the lifestyle. And of course, dear Charlie and his big grin.

[@prouddk9824]

It’s so good of you all to have a great sense of humor when things get challenging. Thank for the smiles!

[@greygoose4x46]

“The dinner place is 45 minutes away ... I can’t do that” I felt that on another level! I’ll drive 7 hours towing my rig, get everything setup and hooked up only to walk inside and be told she’s ready to go and it’s 30-45 mins away ...

[@eureka345]

I'm putting in the official request for more Charlie voiceovers.

[@KevinAdams06]

Who does those VOs? they are amazing.

[@lorismith5369]

Yes!

[@longandcurvyrhodes8112]

i 3rd that request

[@debraelainemcdonald27]

Sounds like Space Ghost. Hilarious.

[@maribethspence9458]

Yes I loved that at the end 😃

[@XOLIAXX]

Trish is way under appreciated ! I feel like whenever she talks, she gets dismissed. She needs her own channel ❤️ Love you Trish

[@Weathergeekdan]

Trish’s face when she realizes you don’t have a leash is priceless.

[@bethblankenship6346]

Trish, I strive to be the wife you are....”do you got a...string?” 🤣

[@cmcraig1220]

Lol, we were in this exact leash predicament yesterday... came up with the same solution!! Ratchet strap to the rescue🤣

[@p.robertbranconi4127]

Happy Mother's Day to a Terrific Mom that keeps everything together.

[@danaowen9014]

That was halarious at the end 'calab sticking his head down and the voice for charlie.

[@tlew9429]

Hats off to you for sampling RVs for your viewers. Would I do it? NO. You’re troopers. Our Quinny wants to go (always) and then shakes and pants the entire ride. (We have a pull behind.) Poor baby. “I might follow him” 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 I laughed through this entire video.

[@BenNstyle]

Charlie is definitely saying "what did I do to deserve this harsh treatment" and "When I get back home, I'm changing my name to Fifth Wheel"

[@skymaster71]

When there noise in the rig, turn up the stereo!

[@elisoncepeda7909]

Caleb is spot on about the change of scenery from the truck to the Airstream. That delineation between vehicle and home can be a huge help with that sense of claustrophobia.

[@stephtarpley9314]

Loved Trish in this video, you could tell she wasn't loving this RV. I was waiting for her to say, yeah I'm sleeping in the car!

[@Dachdogoriginal]

It was pretty crappy of the other guy to dump them last minute.

[@ginavloet9697]

I can completely understand. I do not have a poker face and if I am uncomfortable...it’s difficult to fake smile through it. To the Class C ...Thank You...NEXT!!

[@geraldinekeating4758]

Omg holes in the mattress cover.🥴

[@ATLJonathanH]

They should have jumped to cruise America

[@farmdogcitygirl]

That one part where Caleb is explaining about feeling claustrophobic 14:55 to 16:09 was so hilarious. My hubby and I have watched this part over and over throughout the week for a good laugh. I like where Trish puts her punching hands on her face and Caleb knows exactly what she wants to do to Mark. I must say she controls her frustration very well and picks her battles carefully. Then the part where Mark tells Trish he doesn't want to drive 45 minutes to the restaurant I was yelling at the TV, oh you better take her now after what you did leaving the leash behind. It is a very real moment and we love watching KYD and we don't even RV.

[@sandy9295]

Charlie wants to change your mantra to "Summer to Forget" 😊

[@rvserious8317]

LOL!!!

[@karmaperreira3275]

😂😂😂

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

I loved my week in Tucson! Hubs was at a conference & I played. I was waiting for his plane to arrive (a story in itself) & I visited Saguaro NP...had a good stroll learning about the cactus & had a bit of heat stroke & found a pop machine to stop its progression. Loved strolling around the Mission too. I’m not a heat person but I was fine & generally the only person outside😆. I had the AC going with the driver side window down because the sun was burning my arm through the window. Wonderful lightening storm watched from the hotel balcony & best of all found an amazing independent fabric shop! July in Tucson & you have the roads/streets to yourself during the day!

[@jackiedotson5804]

Charlie’s final comment had me laughing so hard I was in tears. LOVE 💕🦮🐈💕

[@AlWheelin]

At 17:52 when the Subaru is pulling out of frame....on the trailer is a very nice Studebaker Starlight, really cool.

[@rvhome5599]

We used Tire Minder and had so many false Alarms and after stopping on a busy Interstate over and over only to find out another false , I took it and ran over it with my 30000 pound coach lol. A friend of ours works for TST TPM system and told us to try it, so we did for 2 seasons and thousands of miles with NO false alarms .

[@karmaperreira3275]

Most real video to date! The look on Trish’s face is priceless when she is inspecting the rig... especially the mattress!😂 Poor Charlie wants his Ford back!

[@jessydallaire9207]

Charlie: "By the way the next RV you rent, with a motor, i'm out. Get a cat.... i'll be at the cabin" made me laugh to cry. Such a good voiceover for what he tought, i'm almost sure. Jeez that was good!

[@ChaplainTimG]

2:35 - "this thing... you don't want to look too close." Ahhhhh ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!! I love it!

[@4212white]

It’s almost like an April Fools day video😁 She’ll come around😅😉😆 The bed and then the furniture with the well loved corners. Just a priceless video. Best channel on YT. Love this family. The humor, the real life every day moments. Happy Mother’s Day, Trish!!!💐💞🌸🪴🌺💞💐 Charlie is such a trooper✌️ I was dying laughing when you did the shot of the RV with Charlie in the front seat @20:47😆😅😁🤣😂😅

[@lindafisher2936]

We love your reviews of the different motorized RVs. Being class C owners we feel your experience in the jayco was impacted by the condition of the rig. Charlie gets the Emmy for this episode.

[@nikguay]

Same! We just bought ours and were looking forward to this episode. I'm a little panicked now about our first trip. Eeeks! (When I saw the sheet thing and the corners, I was like NOPE! I commend you for rolling with it.)

[@exploringnewhites]

This would not be easy, changing rigs so often and moving all your stuff around! Probably not cheap either. And this looked like a rough one. Thanks for showing us the different rigs though. Poor, sweet Charlie 🥰 That face! ❤️

[@tonyastokley5165]

So your pup is so precious ! I know you hear this all the time ! But watching him laying there ! He’s so smart ! Lol

[@lwhite530]

Hey KYD family!! Happy Mother’s Day to Tricia and all viewers!!

[@kellieowen6952]

We live in a custom semi truck and our bulldog sits in the front seat whenever we are out of the truck. We are really not sure what he does when we are away but he is there when we leave and there when we come back.

[@georgebaker8974]

You need to make Charlie talk more... Hilarious

[@carolbedrosian4650]

I have to say, I was watching this episode last night on our TV, just laughing at Charlie!!! That face! His expression was priceless.

[@Bhos68]

It’s weird but some of our biggest disasters on trips have given us the best memories

[@JoseRivera-lt2cc]

It's good to see that you include the good, the bad & the ugly. Always enjoyable. Charlie's input real treat too.

[@j94shore]

OMGoodness! I am sending so many virtual hugs to Charlie! Poor baby was an unhappy camper on that trip!

[@talascam]

Ok take it from a Golden Retriever owner who got a Jayco Seneca Super C that our two Goldens HATED! They travelled fabulously in our dually hauling the fifth wheel but stressed themselves silly in the MH. Our vet prescribed two tranquillizers, one for their brains and one for their muscles and we gave them each one of these an hour before travelling. By the third leg of our drive to Orlando from Ontario Canada, they were weaned down to half of each drug. They figured out that being in the MH means they get to sleep. And we swapped out their dog beds for beds that have sides that cuddle them and hold them stationary. Part of their stress was their was nowhere for them to feel supported. Worked like a charm. Worth the stress for us giving our dogs drugs but it truly helped them cope. Their favourite spot to travel is in between the two front seats, sandwiched together.

[@0HARE]

It’s always fun and interesting spending some time with you guys. So cool to see Caleb being a more involved team member. I like that you found a manual shift Subaru, and impressed that Caleb knows how to drive it. AZ is muy bonito. Rock On

[@MrsMindfulMama]

I love Charlie’s makeshift leash out of a tie-down...necessity is the mother of invention!!

[@imafarmboy2]

"I just felt the need to support." I'll have to use that one.

[@amypletcher4411]

Lol, you guys are incredible!!! That POOR Charlie!!!! 🐶☹😢😩😩 He was so SAD. I can tell this one was NOT a love RV for you ALL. Thanks for showing everyone this style though!!!

[@TexasFamilyCamping]

Hold up, wait a minute... All this fuss about a Mexican restaurant 45 minutes away where they invented the chimichanga, and we don't get to see it in the video? Dang, I have the sudden urge to go get a chimichanga and a margarita.

[@rvserious8317]

Right? Not even a one word review?

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We decided to go to El Charro the next day and then it was too hot to sit outside.

[@sbmizzou]

"No Mexican food is worth an hour and a half...." that's a bold statement.

[@sheilasmith6674]

Um, there's a really nice El Charro w/patio and view of the Catalinas about 2 miles south of Catalina State Park, right on Oracle Rd. The food is every bit as good there as the original historical location downtown...both are great, but the DT location is a little touristy and overrated in our opinion.

[@SK-qt1rm]

Thanks for the info, we usually just go to El Molinito on Ina/Thornydale. I'll have to check it out.

[@p.robertbranconi4127]

This has to be one of the best, most awesome videos you have ever put out... Reality, Honest, and just how things are sometimes... Thank you. You guys are just fantastic at rolling with the punches. We all need to learn from you.

[@deedeew4040]

ROFL, the look on Charlie's face at the end was so fitting for the words. Poor Charlie.

[@Kecarter1]

Poor Charlie! He is so funny, even if he does not like change....he is still happy to be with his peeps.....loved seeing him sleep in Caleb's lap...sweet boys 4 legs and two. Happy Mother's day Trish

[@dbeskan]

We wanted to see the food and margaritas at the Mexican restaurant. 😢 💕

[@williampeterson9377]

My mother used to tell me, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all”.

[@brettjc0483]

@@williampeterson9377 i wouldn’t consider op’s comment disrespectful.

[@peteyk9391]

I love your videos! My wife and I just bought a Class C June 2024. It’s my first RV of any type so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but we love how quickly we can setup and breakdown. We don’t tow anything though. Thanks again.

[@offgridrvliving]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stay in the Jayco for a while. Our sides are splitting from the laughter!!! Sooo funny. Well done.

[@loriw2661]

Charlie: I’m with you, sweetheart! My heart broke for you every time I saw you sitting in the passenger seat just begging for the F250. So much love to you, sweat boy!!❤️🐾❤️🐾

[@travelingcatphotos]

Oh my, I think Charlie really wants to go back to the truck! Happy Mother's Day Tricia! (PS...great Mexican food is ALWAYS worth the drive!)

[@annthomas9583]

Oh my gosh. The whole video was great, but the last 60 seconds.... sooo funny. Poor Charlie. Love your emotional insight and close ups of the various equipment used. I also am liking Caleb’s input. Thanks!

[@TeachAllNations]

Trish: 🍞🍞 Mark: "Are we expecting guests?!" 😅😂😅😂

[@tjshine7444]

Awesome! I grew up in Apache Jct. Que Superstition Mountain at 12:34! Poor Charlie...sat in the front seat saying "TAKE ME HOME!"

[@silasollegario]

Charlie: "...get a cat. I'll be at the cabin" hahahahaha just excellent!!!

[@debdown16]

This is my favorite episode of all. Laughed til I cried at Charlie sitting in passenger seat on your departure and on return. Beautiful dog!

[@dutchv3609]

Happy Mother’s Day !

[@colinprice5494]

I loved Charlie's close. I rented a big Class C from a big rental company several years ago to go to Yellowstone with my college-aged kids several years ago and it was grimy too. We had a great time but decided we weren't renting from a big company again. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. They are educational and entertaining. You all have a great attitude and definitely don't let the small stuff bother you. Sorry Charlie isn't enjoying the motorized season.

[@loda9510]

I loved it when Mark wanted know if there was a band in the oven - I laughed out loud - you all could make an hilarious movie in that Class C

[@victorspaw2k]

Rent the Movie RV lol

[@kimherben7866]

I believe he asked Tricia if there was a Pan in the oven.

[@Dachdogoriginal]

National Lampoon RV Vacation. Mark as Chevy, and Trish as Beverly and Charlie is well, the dog that actually survived, barely.

[@michaelp1109]

I don't think I've ever felt more sad for a dog then when you were driving away. Haha. Too funny. "Are we expecting company?" That was awesome!!! Love to see the travels around our state. Safe travels!

[@priestofloki]

Really loving the voice you used for Charlie at the end. More of that. 👍🏻 Kinda breaks my heart that he just sat there the whole time, though.

[@navycc]

Marc and Trish, I love what you are doing. You are creating content no one else is doing. Love the fact that I’m learning about these different types of RVs as you are learning. Great work.

[@deannakiralla9047]

OMG! Charlie's sad looking face when you left him lol And that couch you and Tricia where sitting on looked like it was going to eat you both up! Too funny.

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

Poor Charlie! I love Charlie's dialogue at the end of the video. LMBO!!! I'm with you guys on driving your own truck and towing your living quarters behind you so, less fatiguing. Thanks for sharing guys.

[@zepherstarrtrail7802]

Trish....love it when you get so excited about food ingredients. How's the cookbook coming along, any updates?

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Trish is just about done and might be ready in the next 2-3 weeks. She's excitecd. It's so good.

[@mikenowak2360]

We are excited for the cookbook

[@spudthegreaterusa8386]

We loved watching this one. It was so funny watching you guys deal with a bit of a chum bucket. Thats the kind of stuff we deal with all the time. Keeps it real. And poor Charlie not having a leash, I can see me doing the same thing, at least you didn't blame someone else for it! good fellow! cheers cheers...you all handled the adversity of chaos very well. Fun to watch.

[@rebelgate]

I have learned so much from these videos. I now have a list of things to look for when it comes to getting my RV.

[@CaseyCane]

I’ve watched every video you guys have made and love them all. We have a 30ft travel trailer and use it once a month. We live in Norther CA, 45 min north of Sacramento. End of July my wife and I our two kids (boy 8 and girl 4) and 2 dogs are going to South Dakota and Wyoming for 3 weeks. Just wanted to say you guys have an awesome family. Love watching your adventures.

[@rmelvin1662]

The last three minutes of this video are hilarious. 😂😂😂

[@vdub3235]

Poor Charlie 🦮 He is so sweet. Him sitting there looks like those commercials with the dogs (mom, dad, 2 kids) driving a car. Love your videos. Be safe.

[@rhondalyn100]

Charlie sounds just like the Dos Equis guy (with undertones of Thurston Howell the Third): "It's not often I sit in the front seat, but when I do...."

[@edbenson98]

The Most Interesting Man in the World! 😂

[@rvserious8317]

roflmao!

[@FinsAndPhotos]

"Charlie, ask Marc and Trish to put rug or a rubber-back mat (like an entrance mat) on the linoleum down the center of the rig. You will enjoy the drive so much better knowing that can you walk down the isle without sliding on your belly while doing the four-corner splits." "Then ask them to put 30"x40" dog cushion on the floor of the dinette so you can stretch out and sleep without the fear of skating around the rig when Trish takes those sharp corners." "My owners did this to our Class A and I LOVE riding with them -- I especially love the view out the big window and cool breeze from their dash AC." "Sincerely, Kiko" Our shepherd wanted to pass this note along. I know, these are rentals, but if there is a motorized RV in your future (why else rig the Subaru for towing?), give this a try. Charlie might be freaked out about the fear of losing his footing while you drive. Our shepherd doesn't like riding in our SUVs, but love the Class A and the Class C we had before it.

Poor Charlie as he isn't having all that much fun on this trip. Give him a big Hug from me. Oh those loving eyes. Out side of the cosmetics at least there is a good layout. Happy Mothers Day Trish. Love y'all and stay safe.

[@amandaegli6040]

Loved this episode. It’s helpful to know you have struggles too! 🙂 You guys give such great advice. I absolutely love watching you!!! Charlie was awesome!!! He was so not thrilled.

[@wendyrobertson3899]

Have y'all ever tried a thunder shirt on Charlie when he's anxious during a drive? I had to do that with my big boy, Ransom or he would pace then vomit. My vet asked me to try one and wow did it make a big difference. He was a totally different dog after that. No more pacing or sick dog after I put his thunder shirt on. Vet said it was like we were hugging him and that was what made him feel better. It was worth every penny I spent on it. Order on line Amazon. Can't hurt and may be the solution to his anxiety. Just a thought. Love watching Charley and his puppy antics. Great videos too. Happy travels

[@janetstewart3358]

How sad will the day be when you guys are empty nesters......Caleb must never leave 😩😂❤️

[@mikegardiner335]

I love Trish! She processes disappointment and then goes to full-speed positive.

[@leonascherer1617]

We went cross country three times with a German Shepherd and a black lab. You are definitely restricted as to where you can go. We did manage to visit most of the national parks with our dogs but they had to stay behind some days for a few hours. Our dogs have both passed and it is much easier to travel but my heart aches for another dog or two or three.

[@Corvus52]

I love that you forgot the leash, and figured out something. Haven't forgot my dog's leash, but I've forgot many other things. Seeing you work it out and laugh about it is encouraging.

[@ashleymarks6144]

I wonder if Charlie would do well in a smaller space like a crate while in a larger coach. I keep thinking of the hugging contraption that Temple Grandin made herself in college when she was anxious.

[@virginiamangold8912]

In our RV, our English bulldog would go under the dinette table. She seemed to like it being semi-enclosed. Maybe it reminds her of her crate that she chooses to sleep in at home. We got a nice cushy dog bed to fit the area, added the plush blankets & toys she likes. It really helped her. Our second 🐕 is a little girl, about 9 lbs. She took to road trips like a champ. She will ride and sleep on my lap or in her dog bed next to the driver seat.

[@philsmith6388]

Charle said it all for me at the end. I love you guys be safe out there ❤.

[@billhagan444]

Ha ha Charlie..."BTW, the next motorized RV you rent, I'm out...get a cat. I'll be at the cabin!" LOL

[@kevinharvey82]

I LOVE the Charlie commentary. I started to miss it from the previous videos and as the video was closing I got sad thinking it was going to end with no Charlie commentary. Secondly, I would REALLY LOVE to hear Caleb and Trish speak more about the “get out/escape” feeling they mentioned at 14:53. I’ve been floating the idea of going from a 43 foot toy hauler (Raptor 425TS) to a Class A (Windsport 34J).

[@travelduckwonder8013]

It's not that Charlie dislikes the Class C, it's that he must be surrounded by windows. For him the windows are the most important. Poor guy.

[@1MillionMileRoadTrip]

Charlie reminds me of our lab. She will sit and wait all day for us. Watching the door for the first sign we are home. Got to love the pups!

[@sydney4911]

I'm thinking that Trish wanted to eat out because of the obvious ick factor involved with this rental. Not up to par on this one at all.

[@traveler320ak7]

I agree. It wouldn’t be fun to cook in there

[@Jim.Hummel]

I have to admit that you are being highly forgiving and polite about the condition of that RV...WOWZERS! Even poor Charlie was despondent! I hope your Class B segment goes to plan and you can feel more comfortable. Kudos for keeping a positive attitude! Compliments on your music selection...simply outstanding. Might you have a specific playlist for the songs used?

[@brendenwolford]

LMAO!! When Charlie is just chilling in the passenger seat. 😂

[@bonita3710]

What a hoot. This was by far one of your funniest videos (poor Charlie). I can’t believe you’ve never camped at Catalina State Park. I totally get your comment about taking the Sa-wah-ro cacti for granted. I live in MN and we have a tendency to take our beautiful lakes for granted. A friend of mine once said “you can’t swing a cat in MN and not hit a lake”. My replay to her comment was “why would you want to swing a dead cat?” We’ve camped and hiked in Catalina State Park, it is an amazing place. We have also hiked Sabino Canyon (great hike through tons of large cacti), Saguaro National Parks (both east and west parks) and of course The Desert Museum (what a gem). Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the fantastic job. God Bless and Peace ✌🏼

[@sticks29pgm29]

Poor Charlie looked like he was thinking” They left me “.

[@deltas4114]

Please tell me others come back to this vlog to hear Caleb say that turn was like surfing and ask if he can poke his head down to wave....and I wave everytime. Then listen to Charlie's warning of staying home if they do a rig like this again, lmao. Whenever I need a giggle, I come back to this, thank you so much.💕
