12,000 Miles over 90 Days (Time to Repair & Reset)

[@sherriitsamea3476]

If Tricia Leach has even one flaw, I’ve sure never seen it in 7yrs of faithful viewing. Excellent wife, excellent mom, excellent cook, very kind, works out, eats healthy, intelligent, she’s beautiful!!!, & still finds so much joy in life. Love her ❤. And the rest of you too

[@WRIGHTWAY5280]

And she drives.

[@Patricia-re6rs]

…and she's funny.

[@wandaheaps8758]

I am living vicariously thru her.❤

[@Tyler_Yell]

Both Trish and Marc are seriously the best! In 2022, my wife and I were on our fifth Airstream trip, celebrating July 4th with our two young kids at Jellystone North Texas, when my wife went into a sudden cardiac arrest. Thankfully, through multiple miracles, she recovered, and we're back on the road whenever life allows. During her recovery, I reached out to Trish and asked her to send some encouragement to my wife (since she ADORES Trish.) Trish and Marc created the nicest and most personable video, which was incredibly encouraging to my wife and something we still cherish. The Leach's give us a lot to aim for in many areas of a life well lived.

[@Jeffbob442]

I agree!

[@courtneyjohnson5976]

Having just gotten back from a 6 week, 10,000 mile road trip we love and appreciate the mix of travel and repair/maintenance videos because like you said Marc, that’s real life. Appreciate all that you share so that we can all learn from you & Trish :)

[@scottrinne9952]

Air Fryer solution: drill four small holes in drawer to put Air Fryer’s rubber feet into. It won’t shift when traveling and more importantly: it should fit in your drawer cabinet.

[@stevemccollum2011]

OR remove the small rubber feet all together, if they can come off

[@scottehrlich6653]

Here to say the same lol

[@mikele3461]

Then what are you gonna do about side to side? It’s to wide and to high.

[@gskMO]

But won’t they want to use it on the counter anyway? Put it in the cabinet above as Trish suggested,

[@johnwinter9722]

Air fryers are very nice. So are microwave, though. The drill four small holes suggestion came to me as well. Looks like you need less than 1/2" to make it fit. Good luck.

[@lccrel3449]

Loving the balance of your content! It keeps getting better with the empty nest!

[@wandaheaps8758]

I still miss the gober kid

[@samboja11]

Being an aircraft technician, I do enjoy your truck and technical videos as well. Keep them coming..

[@CheriBarnett-q1d]

Thank you for the balance. As a full timer I appreciate knowing we aren’t the only ones that has repairs and hiccups during our travels ❤

[@WA-mi3lt]

I personally think the travel, technical and family video balance is very good!

[@kellymorvant]

The oil in the funnel from our angle it didn't look like it was going to go well. Haha! Thank you for sharing the repair and maintenance it's real and important. Another great show.

[@FranLinder]

I dance my way through your videos. Love the music! While I’m watering my plants

[@brettelizabethspore]

I like the split between tech and travel. I enjoy getting both sides of the journey, and I enjoy sharing them with my husband who would be the one doing the tech side. Also if you make it to Bothell, WA there’s always a free driveway and campfire waiting for you here.

[@michelewilley1360]

We are retired and recently purchased our first RV…2023 Globetrotter, so we are newbies. Your videos are great and provide just the right balance of travel and technical information. Please don’t change!

[@JustMe-pn6xw]

We just stayed in Stoner Colorado, near Delores. The park wasn’t what we expected but the park owner gave us a welcoming package including fresh eggs, the sites had a nice propane grill, wood love seat, fire pit, picnic table, oil lamp and I heard the washer and dryers are free. $50/night plus they had music Friday and Saturday. Our site back up to the creek.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's awesome.

[@Ramphastos333]

We LOVED Stoner!!!! Great place! Used to stay at Dolores River RV Park, but that was taken over by corporate BS and now it's unaffordable.

[@marytellez5929]

Just a solitary vote for maintenance videos over here. The travel videos are fun, but we have our own adventures. Caring for our rig…. that I need help with! ❤ Thanks for making them. Even if it’s just for me.

[@blairreese9976]

Love the repairs as a part timers and of older generation we learn so much thank you!👍

[@Dougcrockett27]

Marc, tilt the fuel additive bottle and prop it up so that the "tube" shares the air space between the "shot" and the space above the liquid in the bottle. Hard to do with a bottle shaped like that. Looks like it might work best when half-full. So when that one is empty, transfer half the new bottle into the old one resulting in two half-full bottles at any given time. I hope that explanation comes through.... harder to explain than I thought it would be. And I'm another vote in favor of the balance of content you and Trish provide. Thanks for all you do.

[@UtahRoadbase]

I've been here from the beginning and I love your non travel videos! I like seeing the real life ways you make full time travel possible and sustainable. A lot of your videos have nothing to do with our truck (12v Dodge) or our rig (Northstar TC these days) but you show us how to problem solve and approach these challenges with our imploding. Keep it up!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks for being here for so long! We love the KYD. community.

[@garrettm1813]

As a life long camper, but new travel trailer owner, I greatly appreciate the technical videos. The balance you have is great!

[@rcycle4075]

My go-to place for RV tips, fixes, products and, of course, entertainment with a basket full of humor and practical life events.

[@cynthiaincolorado3373]

You guys are so much fun and love!!!! Thanks for keeping the dream alive!!!!❤

[@benedavis6900]

KYD is our favorite channel! Hope your kids are doing well. We miss seeing them. God bless!

[@sondralane2798]

I’ve watched your channel from the beginning when your children were oh so young! We are retired and are now full time RVing. Your channel was the catalyst for this journey. Thank you! I do watch other RV channels and have a better tip for a tub drain hair catcher than the metal screen (used that first). It is a tip from Chad and Tara on Changing Lanes. It is called the TubShroom and it really works better than the strainer! I love it. I have long red hair and it does a great job of keeping the hair from sliding down the pipe. Mine is white but they do have different colors. Give it a try. Blessings and safe travels! ❤

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Just ordered it. Will install shortly.

[@Patti_D]

Thanks for the technical videos! I love them…and need them.

[@gregisabel907]

I must say I absolutely love all of your content no matter what it is. I just dream of doing what you both do. Really enjoy spending Sunday's with you both, watching your dreams come true. Thank you so much for the awesome content you deliver to all who follow you. I will never stop following you, and look forward to visiting the list of places you have visited. We just love you guys to pieces.

[@johndernberger1961]

That stretch of 1-70 is just beautiful. We were just there in mid June. Just stunning!!!!! The effect of the altitude on chip bags is hilarious 😂

[@Adam_Gray]

You know, it's pretty cool seeing the spreadsheet, especially including the rating and rain columns! Stupendous! 🎼Sleeping on the Blacktop - Colter Wall 🎼

[@dah_ditdit_dahdah]

The three Glenwood canyon rest stops are really cool. More for river access than anything else.

[@stevekelly8156]

Not a Tech video more of a Between-The-Episodes which are always fun

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Between the episodes are my fav. Funny thing, they tend to happen when all our real plans fall through and all we're left with is the driving part! Or Trish is making a #beeline.

[@angelaklinger2951]

Just love your videos. Thank you for everything you do for the RV community.

[@deltabravo1257]

2:51 I have a small bucket that holds my diesel additive. The stuff smells very nasty as you know, so the bucket lives in my adventure box cargo trailer. I never haul it anywhere in the cab of my truck unless it's a new sealed bottle that I am hauling home from the store I just bought it at. HTSAYTC member here!

[@keithward2565]

Love the content balance, especially watching Marc work. Just love watching other people work. The oil change was hallerious. With the pour rate you could see it coming.

[@christyontheat9430]

Truck and maintenance are part of the adventure. Love it all!

[@judyclark8653]

Charlie seems happiest when you get home to Flagstaff. I’ve never seen his tail wag that much.

[@MH-wq2xn]

I keep the additive in a plastic quart bag with a rag. That way, in case it does spill out, it is absorbed by the tag

[@bobfarrell6510]

The drive thru Arches never gets old... We found a Gourmia toaster oven that bakes, toasts, and is an air fryer. It would likely fit in that spot where the microwave was

[@Habanero777]

That's exactly what I would do I do not have a microwave.I will not own a microwave, but I do have a gesture of oven with fryer in it.And I use it all the time, it is a must If your carnivore😊

[@phyllissmith1105]

I love it when you roll the camera and play music.

[@Jutdees]

I love the mix you do of travel and maint. Maintaining my equipment is something I enjoy doing.

[@billwilliams5889]

Another great video. I’ve been to the places you guys are exploring, and so it brings back wonderful memories.

[@steveathey2560]

Colorado "trick". Diesel and any other bottle; shampoo, dish soup, whatever. Squeeze some air out of it before you drive. Gives room for expansion.

[@headdown1]

I boondock in the western states every winter. I couldn't figure out why my air mattress would only last a few months before getting a slow leak. It turned out to be my elevation changes were often causing the air in the mattress to expand to the point of actually starting a slow leak. Now I mostly deflate the mattress before climbing to higher elevations, and the problem seems to be gone.

[@candyalexander2196]

Tiny rocks..as they say its the little things.. greetings from NC and just one more mile

[@DuncanBeaird]

Gotta love RV maintenance. I don't know how many times I've said "I can see it, or I can touch it, but I can't see it AND touch it at the same time!" And that's usually after you're arched in on your back, under some cabinet, or wrapped around the steering column. 😀

[@waynekern8471]

We just went to Ohio & Michigan for the first time with our RV. Ohio has the best rest stops. Theirs are called service areas and have gas/diesel, parking for cars, semi's, & RV'S. Their buildings have 3 food places, restrooms, a store, information center & truckers lounge and showers. There are 4 of them on the Ohio turnpike that have an area for RV'S only for $20/night. This gets you a spot with electric where you can open your slides. A dump station and potable water are available. Would travel anywhere if I could do it on the Ohio Turnpike!

[@davidfromtexas9681]

We treaded some of the same ground this summer. I had no idea, taking I-70 west from Denver, first you go through some of the most beautiful landscape in the world between Denver and Grand Junction, then things..ahem…change. Then you cross into Utah and it’s like WTH! Looks like the Moon and maybe that’s an insult to the Moon.

[@Habanero777]

Exactly 😂😅🎉

[@leascruggs-parker6341]

How nice that Charlie gets to have his sister by his side!

[@ryanandrachel04]

Awesome video guys! Love sunday nights.

[@deltabravo1257]

2:14 I have an "adventure box" trailer too. It hauls two dual sport motorcycles, portable generator and all the stuff that you would typically haul in the bed of your truck. 🙂 I have a truck camper, so my "house" is in my truck bed.

[@mattstueck1917]

Mark, I love your maintenance and modification videos. Please keep them up. if anything, you could add some more. BTW, your background music selection is fantastic and you do a good job making sure that your voices are not buried in the music mix. There are other channels that seem to struggle getting the volume mix done well.

[@SpinDoctorVJ]

I have the exact same truck. I keep my diesel additive in a gallon zip lock in the map pocket on the door. If it expands and leaks, the zip lock at least contains it.

[@BillUtah]

I do the same. Gallon ziplock bags for the win! 👍 My RAM seems to like the same additive.

[@musicmarlene]

your videos are very enjoyable. We lived in Flagstaff for 19 years, now in Coeur d’alene, Idaho. Just back from a trip to Northern Montana and North Dakota(Bismarck, Medora, Teddy Roosevelt national Park and more)

[@RinaMeyers]

You guys were here just in time.... last week WIKLDFIRES have broken out and there is one very near Chatfield and they closed it so the the planes can fly down and scoop water out to "try" to help contain the fire. Its really scary for those of us that live in the mountains :(

[@barrytipton1249]

My Sunday nights are better with my weekly KYD episode. Thanks for the videos. 👍🏼

[@shenanmooring8135]

Love the technical videos too! Maintenance on an RV is so necessary!!!

[@johnandjackiesjourneys]

We enjoyed the mix. We’re learning repairs are real life, constant and inevitable.

[@billwellford376]

Love to watch all of the "how-to" and "fix-it" videos. Real life just be like that sometimes. 😊

[@Daddio-et3lp]

Love the technical videos, it’s how life on the road works

[@kathyjoslin1361]

Wore your shirt Summer to remember 2024 in Glacier National Park. We are from Texas and are on a 60 day 6,000 mile trip. Been to Indiana, Ohio, Niagra Falls, Petoskey Michigan, South Dakota, Glacier and next Yellowstone. This has definitely been a summer to remember.

[@garyhanson4133]

Lots of great repairs and ideas. Loved it. For the shower hair problem you'll probably find that the cup will fill with hair, then back up. Check out the tubshroom. I've had a lot of gals that love them. Don't take it from me as I have little hair :-) Going through the tunnels on I70 brought back so many memories.

[@shootermcgavin1554]

My vote: Truck 35% Tech 35% Travel 30% Love it all anyhow

[@deltabravo1257]

18:31 Perfect landing on the shower strainer, I LOVED IT!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

It was the 3 camera. The strainer knew it was time to perform!

[@lisazimmerman4140]

Love your content, just the right balance of travel and tech/maintenance. You inspire me every day. God Bless!

[@cargoon-cargoconversionbui2880]

Love the term Colorado adventure box! I guess ours is a NJ adventure box that we converted into a camper. LOL.

[@acrazylife4378]

I feel really good after watching this episode. We just got back from a month long vacation were we traveled from Western Washington, over to Montama, down to Colorado then down to south eastern Texas, then made our way west to NM, AZ,NV into CAL and up back thru OR and back to WA. 6500 miles of traveling ( more with exploring) the reason I feel better is watching this video I had the SAME THING happen when I got back, I had to replace the water pump, the city water connection, the propane tank cover had somehow disappeared and a few other things. It's GOOD to see and was almost exciting to see that you also had to do some stuff upon returning at least I now I'm not alone .

[@GriddlinGary]

For your air fryer dilemma, either remove the rubber feet all together should get you under the latch. Or drill holes where the feet are and then they will drop in and keep it from moving around. Just my thoughts. Really enjoy the content mix, been watching since the beginning and proudly wear your hats.

[@dennismartin434]

The air fryer looks like it was hitting a latch on the upper part of the cabinet. Love your videos and I think they’re all a very good mix. We live in Lockford about 50 miles south of Sacramento and we love hearing when you go through California.

[@johnwinter9722]

I sit at my desk with my 13 year old Golden Retriever, Ben, by my side and watching your video. So nice to see your younger buddies playing and having fun. Good balance of tech and fun stuff. I enjoy both. Mark, you make the same missteps I make on matters of the fryer and the oil change. Yeah, just dump the quart in the funnel, what could go wrong?

[@sticks29pgm29]

Always great videos. Especially when you have family members show up. You always know when there good video with they seem like short videos.

[@joycewilson7048]

Love ALL of the videos. Never realized the amount of maintenance required for RVs.

[@DiyDadFL]

I'm always in awe when I see the prices of some of these RV parks.

[@BabiBoi357]

I was rewatching your solar installation, waiting on this one to come out. 52sec, perfect timing.

[@jabamedia7939]

I love the technical videos.

[@lynnettet428]

So cute to see Annie and Charlie together! 😊 Look forward to your weekly videos. Wondering if you will give us an update on your FL house! Would love to see a tour.

[@harleycleanslate]

really enjoy your vids..we just made this trip a few months ago. Moab to Toosawn by way of Canyon DeChelly and a stop near Holbrook to see the underwhelming Petrified Forrest. #77 south util we got home.

[@garybaumgart6262]

So, remove the rubber feet on bottom of cooker and then try it. If this works, you can bolt it in, or not. Love your shows with the 2 of you!!

[@BrentSara00]

Love that Arches campground - expensive but beautiful! We stayed there during our 7 week RV trip a couple of years ago!

[@dcretney]

Really like your technical episodes. I’m ok with more of them! 😊

[@yz2538]

What! So happy Victoria and her hubby got a dog. I new they'd be great dog parents when they took care of Charlie 👏💛

[@KeepYourDaydream]

The SoCal series will be fun with these two dogs.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Thanks for another fun video. Blessings.

[@Todder-R5]

Fun episode Mark ! I need to change my oil in generator as well . Plus repack 6 wheel bearings

[@ejs6010]

Great video - travel, scenery, dogs, family, and chores!

[@kchortu]

Its also nice to see how full timers upkeep their rigs, what works and what doesnt. Galanz makes an air fryer microwave combo they sell them at walmart

[@Kentucky4runner]

Had bought a truck in Arizona in May. Checked the ac-worked fine. Was going through the tunnel after spending the night in Snowmass. Was a little chilly leaving, but started snowing the higher I went. Turned on the heater-and found there was no heat-the heater core had been bypassed. Found a blanket and wrapped up in that while wearing shorts and a tee shirt. Took until Denver to thaw out. Best I-70 trip ever 😎😇 Ps-look at a fumoto valve for the generator drain. No wrench needed, and much less mess

[@ShawnPatterson402]

Great stuff as usual. A little reset and then on the trail. Tire time for us as well. Will be home for a few days next week and a new set is going on the trailer, and then hitting the road again the next day :) gotta love it. continued safe travels...looking forward to your west coast swing.

[@rodneylacy]

You were traveling in some of our favorite locations in and around Moab. Been on that route many times on our way to Hunnington Utah and our solar guy Matt at Continuous Resources.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Personally we love the variety of types of videos you do. 👍.

[@garrettforster7155]

Love the technical videos, love to see the trips back to home base, and love the travel videos. Like Mark said a good mix of all 3 is most accurate to real life. Also, chatfield state park is a hidden gem!

[@JoinMyAdventures_YT]

Awesome video guys keep up the good work!!

[@lwhite530]

Happy Sunday fun day KYD Family. So sad I didn’t make it to SLO but it was a blessing in disguise. Had a ford recall of my master brake cylinder. And I had almost no brake fluid. Hopefully if you are ever passing by San Jose 101 stop on over to Morgan Hill, just south of San Jose. It’s a cute town with lots of cute wineries and a growing downtown. ☺️ it’s called home for me

[@wandaheaps8758]

If I pretended that my husband had Mark’s skills, things would wonderful. My hubby brakes everything. I call my son. Mark I love you too.

[@cpgoef6]

You should see what happens to our SleepNumber mattress when we go to Colorado! We have to make sure we let all the air out before we start climbing 😂

[@LessEllingson]

Tricia, the delicious rolls you made are called "Lion House Rolls" not "Lion Rolls" FYI. Definitely a well known commodity in UT made famous by the Lion House Pantry on Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City. Fun to see your adventures!

[@alysiachristensen5475]

Great episode. The content seems pretty well balanced. Safe travels!!!

[@mattyounis5636]

Love the truck and trailer tech

[@lindao1327]

Your videos never disappoint! Thanks!

[@beelust4312]

Been watching 👀 ur videos for 8 years. No longer RV due to age, but take my RV trips with you via ur videos. 😅

[@kenwardssecondchannel862]

Enjoyed the Video. I was at Arches with my family a few weeks ago, as well as Moab.

[@audiomxr]

I love the mix of technical, truck, repair info in the midst of the travel videos. KYD was my first RV "how-to" subscription. Keep doing the how-to videos please.

[@johneskrich362]

The mild backhand to the back of the head, of the armchair UTube my way crowd was subtle and well deserved. Last time I checked you guys were kicking it in subscribers, but more important is that Life is a Balancing Act and boy you guys still make it look easy. Keep up the GREAT Content your family is So special, thanks for Sharing!

[@Tnall74]

Another great video. Ya’ll are a hoot to watch. Glad to see others having hair in the drain problems. We get a double whammy from the wife’s hair to my granddaughter that travels with us. Gonna check out the drain screens

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

As usual great video. It’s funny we used one of the same songs you used in this video in our last Saturdays Video.

[@jesteradv]

OMG damn meet spit my coffee across the room when that coffee can rolled away, happens to the best of us. Love the videos and channel. Hope to see you in Canada someday.

[@Livin_inRVA]

Love the varied content. Marc, you just need to add camera mounts all over the rig to free up your hands to do the work. 😂 Thanks again for letting us all into your RV life.

[@tracyh1466]

We live 1 1/2 hours from Moab in Colorado. You passed us on your way to Flagstaff. You could have boondocked at our place with beautiful mountain views. BTW, we'll be in Lynchburg for Liberty's homecoming this year.
