DEAR WILDERNESS, ABOUT THE MOTORHOME...

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Based on this video, Trish wrote a blog about how to quickly bounce back when things go awry. Hope you find a couple tips helpful www.keepyourdaydream.com/keep-calm-and-motorhome-on/

[@Patricia-re6rs]

Wow, just read this blog. It was great! Really great!

[@Sig721Tau]

Yeah, that's a solid "no" from me on the whole 'walking across a rope bridge' thing.

[@paultillotson741]

OMG, the enormous effort you spend getting "the right shot" is SO much appreciated.

[@tanyabrown3919]

Tricia work more than someone with the camera

[@toh2002]

"SOMETHING CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND BROKE THE WINDOW, BUT LUCKILY WE STILL GOT THAT WIFI GOING STRONG!!!!! BEST LINE OF THE VIDEO.....

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Lol. We didn't even know Caleb was recording, but I'm glad he was...

[@theboondockingbasels4168]

HA HA HA! I loved that part!

[@Upliftyourbrothers]

I enjoy these videos much more than ANY Tv show these days. Thank you!

[@makingitmine]

These shots are amazing! They seriously need Emmy awards for camera work and video editing on KZbin. KYD would have my vote for sure.

[@Jim.Hummel]

The hairspray scene had me in stitches...as well as the side commentary (at 4:10) by Carson(?) "From The Front Seat" - Loved "the sign jumped out of nowhere!" bit...Hilarious! But I'm super glad it turned out to not be a big deal. This is truly an epic trip!

[@toniblitterswyk3118]

We just love Caleb! He's like a young Rodney Dangerfield, his facial expressions are fabulous. He is honestly so funny! Sorry to hear about your window, but those road mishaps always make for the best stories . Love your channel, thank you for all your efforts.

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

Caleb is so funny! 😂

[@heathersmiliekiwi8528]

Is there a Caleb fan club? Great sense of humour

[@MrChickwick]

Favorite line of the episode: "I wish it was sunny. We could drone this." Immediately cuts to drone footage of the passage. Love it!

[@randyrainwater983]

Gotta have something to remember and talk about in years going forward. I just want to hear the story told in 5, 10, and 15 years in the future. Stories just get bigger, bigger, and bigger as times go by.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

100% true. Things/stuff depreciates over time while experiences appreciate over time.

[@cocokai9661]

Glad y'all shared the bad and embarrassing along with the good. Sometimes y'all seem so perfect, it's nice to see you're human!

[@VARider1]

Best New Zealand RVing clip yet. Love when you guys keep it real and honest.

[@original72canuck]

Another great 'reality rv' day. Sometimes they are good, sometimes challenging but serendipitous - but always memorable! Thanks for sharing...

[@Bucketlistretreats]

Thaaaaaaaanks so much for taking the time to get the shot!!! I know it's not easy but I sure love it. XO, Kelly

[@TravelswithYoly]

Being a travel vlogger/videographer takes imagination, creativity and tons of dedication. Don't know how many times I've run out of the latter :-) Kudos for taking the time for the drone shots.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks. All creators understand the time it takes, but creating is worth it in the long run. The videos take time, but add to our experience seeing it not only with our eyes, but through the eyes of the community.

[@TravelswithYoly]

@@KeepYourDaydream I have been making videos since I was 11 (60 years ago). Long ago I became accustomed to being the weird nerdy kid who always had a movie camera with him (since 1959). I have often been mildly ridiculed by my peer group and friends. Seven years ago my best friend's mom (the neighborhood matriarch) had a 90th birthday party. All the neighborhood kids (my high school buddies) came into town for her big celebration. We drove from Georgia to Long Beach, CA just for the occasion (after 2 previous trips to the west coast that year). Naturally, I made a movie to commemorate the occasion and easily cast aside the rolling eyes and looks from those who are not so inclined. Last week, one of the more popular kids (now 71) died. Marie, now 97 is still going strong :-) Some of my friends who contacted me to give me the news all now said how grateful they suddenly were that they had this keepsake of our time with him (I had made Blu Rays for everyone). Videos inspire, entertain and chronicle the passing of time.

[@annastevenson5207]

Stuff happens, that's real life. Happy to see Marc wearing the 'DRINK ONE for Dane' T-shirt. He was a great guy, and he (and the rest of the Dutch Bros. gang) did a lot for Grants Pass, Oregon...they still do.

[@margiegandy9189]

You guys are fantastic! We are a wee bit older (probably 200 years) but had 8 amazing kids and relate so well to you. We moved to Mexico when pregnant with our last little guy who is currently 14 years old. I so wish we had the technology back then to share our journey. Keep doing what you do!

[@tikkin11]

Who else can you watch that puts a smile on your face from beginning to end? As always..Thankyou KYD!!

[@christinamcmillan6814]

Wow! So needed to hear this about how long it takes to get the perfect shot. Sometimes it sucks all the fun out of the experience, but when you get to look back and remember it, the way it’s meant to be, IT’S ALL WORTH IT!

[@RVingwiththeMoracas]

"that's RVing" - I am learning that lesson every trip. Thanks for sharing.

[@lindahenderson2987]

OMG......I know it takes an immense amount of work to produce these videos and it is y’alls vacation but....... 20 minutes is not enough. I NEED MORE, I WANT MORE and a week is too long to wait. 😆👍❤️

[@rca_garage2909]

I so agree 100%

[@aftonnicole]

This is what I think at the end of EVERY VIDEO!

[@gfamykathleen]

Agreed!!!

[@jessramirez2103]

I think NatGeo or the Travel Channel needs to pick them up for a weekly show.

[@markdoyle8713]

We just traded our trailer in and bought a 23 ft “RUV” very similar to your rental after watching all your videos. We had enough trailering. Love your work. You make us feel normal , ah because we have Broken a “few” things over the years on our rigs.

[@samwalker3441]

"It's like a sequel............" Awesome sound bite. I am appreciating you guys more and more. Keep up the great work.

[@gypsybelle4757]

“This is RVing.” “Duct tape and plastic bags.” Truth! Add zip ties and you e got the three main components for the RVers MacGuyver Kit. 👍 Thanks for sharing the ups and downs. Y’all roll with the punches and show how it’s best done like no other. ❤️KYD!!

[@mkenz4227]

I laughed through this whole episode! Thanks for taking us on your journey, you guys rock!

[@BenNstyle]

New Zealand coastline driving = "Big Sur beauty with Mexico danger!" EPIC!

[@PScott51]

We appreciate all the effort you put into your videos: beautiful scenery, amazing shots, and fun music. Trish, we could see you were upset but forget the window. You are my hero! You are a great driver; nothing seems to phase you. Love your boys/family...you are so honest. Safe travels!

[@brucehartley8652]

A lesson learned. When you see or feel that a great shot / moment is presented. Take the extra time and capture it. The time invested to capture the shot that in the end, will pay you back not only in the memory captured but might also become the epic shot of the day.

[@jamesfarnham1976]

One thing for sure....when it rains all day, you really really really realize just how small your RV is....no matter how full the foliage. Love you guys and the videos. So glad no one was hurt with the broken window! Jim.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

#FullFoliage 👍

[@Platt365]

Absolutely agree that you remember the things that go wrong first. We started Rving 3 weeks ago and I find myself talking about all the mistakes we’ve made first. Great episode. Keep it real.

[@STANDREW2]

This reminds me of our "Mishap!" last March doing the "North Coast 500" in Scotland (Worth doing if you are ever here). First, we dropped off the tarmac into the soft ground up to the front axle and had to wait 14 hours for a tow out. Next, another campervan crossed onto our side of the road and ripped both our wing mirror off and there's as well. Finally, the rear bumper (fender) came loose and luckily someone managed to fix that back for us. This little lot cost me my security deposit. OH! and to top it off I caught an E-coli infection that took three and a half months of antibiotics to clear up. The joys of RVing.

[@juliac9599]

Total sympathy to Trish. Driving an unfamiliar vehicle oriented on the left side, would be really intimidating. I bet the RV company gets a LOT of those calls. Way to bounce back!

[@johndolezal310]

That's it, relax and have a cocktail. Your right about having something to talk about in years to come. The boys were VERY funny in this episode. Glade your all enjoying yourselves. Take care and be safe.

[@rebekahwells3737]

My daughter n law, her sister and family are in New Zealand until Thursday. The videos and pictures have been awesome. My daughter n law went hang gliding a couple of days ago. . She is a breast cancer surviver and enjoying this trip! So proud of her being able to enjoy life.

[@2FlyAmerica]

Thanks for the entertainment, Sunday nights would not be the same without you guys - It has become KZbin night, starting with you guys at 7:00!!

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Great job Marc. Watching the van drive on the one-way road via your drone footage was impressive. You are really good to your audience. Not sure we deserve it!

[@johncorners2594]

Wow.... we just discovered you, binge watching your N.Zealand adventure!!!! ReLly cool!!! We are planning a trip next year, we're finding cool places to go thanks to you!!! My brother and his wife have lived there for 30years (Queenstown area). They always come here (Ohio) once a year, but now it's time to go see them! Thank you SO MUCH for posting your travels.... they're AWESOME!!!!!

[@simplyrebeccamarie]

I can't get enough of your videos. Waiting a week sucks but I know its lots of work. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Your kids are hilarious. I love their take on life.

[@donbrackenreg2270]

I feel that if or when another window gets broken, I would use gaffer tape and make like the UK flag, gaffer tape a plus sign and a cross, to stop the air pressure making the bag flap and tear.

[@janiceludlow8080]

I love your videos, and the effort you put into them definitely shows. Scenery is beautiful, and you guys show how things are. The good and the bad. Keep it up!

[@danaowen9014]

You both should win an award for these professional quality videos, Very educational and funny.The boys are funny too.

[@dougdoris8622]

This video got my wife and I talking about the RV screw ups that we have had. I just want to compliment you on shaking it off pretty quickly. It usually takes me a bit longer to get back to normal. We love watching you guys and this video was terrific!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

The camera helps. We don't have much time before we need to start recording again. In some ways, it makes it harder and easier.

[@kennethhieke6623]

Wow, sorry, about the window breaking. Could be a temporary damper on your vacation. Trish looked so bummed, but you implemented a fix and the NZ vacation will go on! Happiness, ahead!

[@keithwalters6555]

Wonderful video!! Was in NZ 10 years ago and there's no other country like it! So excited to see what you guys record on the South island. And I gotta say, this music is especially on point! You guys have some good taste.

[@srcclarke6723]

We love ya'll's videos and blog! I grew up RV'ing with my parents (not full time but lots of road trips) and the most memorable trips were the ones that had 'awry' moments! We are getting ready to full time 'Roadschool RV' with our youngest two (of 7 kids) and are so excited! Side note: the Winnebago Class C RV that I grew up traveling in, is still being driven around by my dad with the same motor - 35+ years later (they don't make them like they used to)!!

[@VJWLPN1]

Beautiful! Loved the entire video! Wish they were longer because it seems like they end too soon! Thanks!

[@eddy2561]

People who never tried shooting high-quality videos don't know how much work it is.....and then there's the editing. I was a TV news photog and worked my ass off for years......good stuff Mark and what's her name!

[@keithbell3112]

Nice job! Love getting the experience from you guys. The good and the bad. Marc, nice job staying cool... hopefully I can learn from that!

[@petermenor8074]

I can so appreciate your mishap with mirror and window. Years ago I was driving in New Zealand with my co-pilot (wife) constantly telling me I am too close to side of road. Being a man, I kept replying I am fine and guess what, a drivers side mirror is laying along the New Zealand roadway. Man those poles on side of road are close to driving lane. I did find the trashed mirror and it did not ruin our travels. And I learned to hug the center line of the road. Memories!!

[@RandisAdventures]

🎵 Sign, sign, everywhere a sign Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?… 🤣

[@creationsfromlace6894]

Love your travels and such positive, upbeat attitude. Thank you for sharing everything with us!

[@journey2fifty]

Everyone should add Gaffers tape to their tool box after watching this. Nothing is more fun than getting the perfect shots to be able to tell ur story on KZbin. Keep it up KYD.

[@ericvaneck4296]

I lost a emergency window in a 5th wheel and it was raining, so I stuck the plastic bag betwen the glass frame and the window frame, shut the window and taped it on the inside. It worked and ordered a new window when I got back home. Another great video.

[@lauralina781]

I appreciate the hard work that goes into the videos. I’m amazed every time I watch one and it’s the quality that keeps me watching all the way to the end!! Great work... will visit your patreon.

[@velomomjen]

Brings back memories of our RV rental in Italy 2 years ago. Had a very similar rig to yours in NZ. I was trying to back in down a hill that I should not have to get water in our tank. Started sliding so I cut the wheel to put it against the hillside. Long story short we got back out of there but ripped off the rear bumper in the process! In the end we had to pay or $1000.00 deductible. Could have been worse!! We all make mistakes/bad choices once in a while. No big deal, everyone is alive and safe!! Have fun!

[@annettetaylor7331]

I KNEW you had to have been on a cheer squad, the build and the way you use your arms, very expressive. I feel so smart now!:-)

[@MrAlbarry51]

We’re loving New Zealand and all the beautiful scenery your sharing. Thank you so much for all your hard work putting this together.

[@RoadsofFaith]

Even in times when most people would be freaking out, you manage to bring humor to the situation. The boys are just as funny! Such beautiful scenery!!! And yeah...have held up the camera many times to take a picture and realize there are some things that need to be seen first hand to fully appreciate the beauty and wonder of it all. Hope the rest of your trip is "mishap free"!! Safe travels! God bless!

[@trishalyons7587]

Caleb is so funny. He makes me laugh every time I watch your guises channel. I am still catching up I am watching something from two years ago. But I love you guys and your family and the adventures you go on as a family. Thank you 😊

[@thewitmerexcursion]

Great video. Whenever we have a "mishap," after I've vented a bit, I always figure it will make a great story one day. Memories to last a lifetime!! 😉

[@vickirobinson2513]

I just have to say it’s fun to see the boys goofing off. I have a teen son too, we just started on the road this month! You guys inspire me!! 😃👍

[@williammillard7034]

I look forward with great anticipation to every New Zealand episode on Monday mornings. Ya'll are just so fun.....and Caleb really cracks me up.

[@RonColleenKC]

Silly tail swing, cheers to gaffer tape & families like yourselves who don’t miss a beat! Keep on truck in’!

[@johnebakeriii]

Marc... You must answer this burning question that has plagued mankind for hours: WHO... is... Dane - and why must we drink one for him? :)

[@PrincessJamiG]

"I can be a hero in the sunshine." - Yes. I fully understand this. :-)

[@thisisourwheellife2606]

We spent 3 weeks in NZ & Australia 2017. Love reliving it with your videos. NEVER a bad day in NZ!

[@CCB249]

I used to date a guy that worked as a photographer and writer for National Geographic. He would wait for days in Africa in a hut to get that one shot of the lion! You guys are doing a great job and I love to watch your videos!

[@EricHarmon67]

Gaffers tape is awesome. It holds well and doesn't leave residue or remove paint. I used to do a fair amount of studio photography and used it all the time. :-)

[@aliciaemson7193]

I agree with not being able to capture how beautiful New Zealand is on camera it doesn’t even compare from what you have captured in the video to what it is really like so glad to call this place home🇳🇿

[@FLFlyer]

A great video. Hardest part would be learning to drive on the other side of the road. The boys reminded me of when we were kids driving along lake Michigan wanting to wade in the water.

[@GrandmaBugsPlace]

Wow...beautiful. I always wanted to visit Australia but it never happened. Thanks for sharing this adventure. Sorry about the window...

[@GrandmaBugsPlace]

Ment not only Australia but New Zealand...

[@teresas683]

What?! It’s over already?? No time for travelling right now so I live vicariously through you guys! Nice to see Carson! Stay safe🙏🏻

[@tomcorso2358]

Your very Welcome - Mark & Trish I enjoy your video's all the time as well .

[@brendalawrence6732]

Wow, wow, wow! That's all I have to say! Oh and stuff happens, glad the RV people where nice about it. Hugs, Brenda

[@stevemiller7215]

The end of the vid was awesome. Almost surreal. Beautiful canyon.

[@timf6916]

Nice video. And about your fix on the window, good job, if after tapping the sides, put a big X with the tape on the black plastic bag, that will help with the wind flapping the plastic when driving

[@colourful64able]

No panic trish. It’s only a window and makes for a good giggle memory

[@pegwhite6533]

Best video yet! So fun. Really enjoyed seeing the boys’ sense of humor on this one too. And...everyone who RVs has one of “those” stories and they just add to the fun as long as no one got hurt. 😊

[@richardquinones5598]

While watching you guys and following your videos If inspired me and as of today I am on the road and my little RV thank you guys keep up the awesome videos

[@amypletcher4411]

Great video 👍😊!! Sorry Trisha about you breaking the window. You guys handle it Soo well!!

[@lindav1125]

Quick tip...add some tape, corner to corner diagonally . Will give way more support to the plastic.

[@tomcorso2358]

Mark & Trish & Family if you all like nature I am from Northern , Indiana we have a wonderful State Park in Southern Indiana, Brown County called Turkey Run State Park there is a nice river for fishing covered , and wired bridges, hiking trails - town full of antique shopping : just lots to do .

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Looks nice. Noted. Thx

[@debbie10stars]

I just love watching your sweet family 💖 Thanks for sharing! Safe journey!!!

[@57dent]

Many of those one way bridges. I cant remember where but at one point we crossed a bridge that was not only one way for traffic but it also had the rail line on it so you had to make sure no trains were coming!

[@maribethspence9458]

Hahaha love your videos! You all are such a hoot! Love how you guys just take everything in stride. I'm glad that Wilderness was so cool about the mishap too. I'd have been one of them with the terrified look crossing that bridge, in fact that thing the boys went on looked less scary to me.

[@MyLifeisaHighway]

Caleb! you're killing me! loved the bathroom/hairspray. some people call that huffing. I call it, aromatherapy.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Lol.

[@katphyre]

That had me laughing as well. He's a riot.

[@richardpruitt5919]

One of my favorite scenery videos!

[@leroysouza5066]

Great video. Nice repair on the window. Everyone safe. Main thing.

[@atsims]

I can’t believe everyone is not a KYD insider. Loved the livestream 👍🏻

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We do have fun! You make it possible. Thanks!

[@DiyDadFL]

Yes, I agree! Becoming an Insider was the best decision ever!

[@DiyDadFL]

Classic Carson it was in the Patreon page and shared on the Facebook group. If you aren’t on the Facebook group, email Marc and he will help you fix it.

[@atsims]

James Briggs there was a link posted on the Patreon page

[@SaraPooBC]

Not everyone can afford to be a KYD insider

[@patb9375]

It is good to see Caleb takes most things in stride, not his sister leaving but when Mom hits a sign the humor. I hope Trish did not feel to bad about hitting the sign, of course that is a moving vehicle accident that you should have reported to the police but hey lets not worry the kids over learning not to drive away when they hit a road sign. Caleb was funny, glad things got back to let's have fun.

[@annh9153]

Oh gosh. Sorry - I couldn't look down when Marc did..... terrified of bridges like that!

[@johnthorpe6333]

Hay Trish as Marc said, the window will be great fun talking years down the road. We could see you where upset. It was only a window and everyone was fine. What was worst the first flat tire 10 minutes down the road on the first trip or the window. Not that I am stocking you guys, but even that turned out good with people stopping to help. I loved the hairspray bit, it was great! Boy the cliff road is beautiful, and the ocean looked like the Atlantic in Maine with the high rolling waves over the rocks. Keep the great videos coming. When this one ended I I was like what!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks! Good perspective.

[@FakeLegGreg]

Nice vids of New Zealand. Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

[@joplinrita]

You guys are the best! And...you make the best videos! Thanks so much for taking us on this awesome journey!

[@debrastroud7980]

Great Video! so much going on! love how you handle the mishaps! Just another part of the adventure.

[@stevecastro22]

Hey, Marc and Trish, that's why we ALWAYS get full insurance..... :)

[@randomrachael420]

I love you guys, awesome that you share the issues that you run into (literally)lol You guys definitely inspire me by you all staying positive :)

[@deltabravo1257]

Gaffer's tape is AWESOME!!! It's so much nicer to work with compared to Duct Tape. I've never seen it leave a sticky residue. I learned about it when I worked at a high school and got to be good friends with the video production teacher.... which is also how I got introduced to video editing.

[@jbaker1107]

It also removes easier without leaving residue but is as durable as duct tape. It's all we use, it's amazing!!

[@larryblaha]

You guys are so lucky. Awesome journey and thanks for posting such a great video.

[@americaspastortravels7536]

Another great video guys, and you all are having loads of fun. Don't worry about the mishap Trish, it's just a bump along the road, and it too shall pass 😉. Thanks for sharing, keep the videos coming and safe travels 🙏.

[@craigpochert6263]

Loved the scene of Trish laid back, feet up, not a care in the word and "oh, you wanted me to go? Really?" . Mark that was the que to leave her in peace and quiet! LOL
