SIMPLIFYING THE RV SETUP PROCESS (SARASOTA FLORIDA)

[@jimmaholder2874]

We love living vicariously through your family. As a school principal, I especially enjoy watching Caleb. He is a joy.

[@brendalawrence6732]

Charlie, oh how I love Charlie! Then there is Marc with the mullet, headband and sunglasses, cracked me up! Loved seeing Tori once again, Trish she looks so much like you! And Caleb never disappoints. Love him, love you all! Hugs, Brenda

[@nicolet3757]

This episode was no where near long enough!! I just wanted it to keep going forever. I am headed to Sarasota in the morning and I am so glad I got to see this first! Charlie is just the cutest!!

[@annek1226]

Oh my goodness! Our “little girl” Victoria is all grown up! So delighted to see her there for a visit! Just beautiful! Yea Tori! Welcome back!

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

I can never get enough !!!!!! Nice to see Tori, glad she got to come visit !!! But Charlie stole the show 🥰 Blessings

[@nanachick05]

So awesome to see Tori, miss her and Carson. I love going to Sarasota, fantastic town with a ton of things to do for all ages!

[@40redfox40]

TRISH! You are the BEST travel partner. OMG, people would pay you to travel with them.

[@williamvogel4152]

I met my wife in Sarasota! We love that town. We named our first daughter Sarah for that. Next time your in town, do the salty Dog! Right off of St. Armands Circle! Great episode

[@0HARE]

What a great episode! Trish is a force of nature. Her research, planning, cooking, and organizational skills are awesome, and she seems to do it all with a smile on her face. Bravo! Caleb has such wonderful humor, intelligence, and energy. It’s a joy to “spend some time” with him here. These videos and your website are a wonderful resource for those of us wanting to follow in your tracks. Thanks for all the in-depth scouting and documentation. Also, Tori! Rock On

[@katylanter7691]

Charlie is looking sharp!!!! We look forward to these videos every Sunday!!!! Thanks!!!!

[@ngpoct123456789]

Charlie is so handsome and so happy. Good times had by all! Thanks for the video!

[@leann4925]

So happy to see your daughter once again. Enjoyed watching the Polo Match along with the paddle boarding. Oh my my my that Charlie is so precious and huggable. Thanks and have a great week.

[@angmcfadden]

The snap pads are awesome! Definitely put them on right away ... so worth the money. I love seeing your camper in its lived in glory (when Trish and Tori are leaving for the airport). Makes me feel better about our own 'mess'. Glad to see you all having so much fun!

[@herveyforward5956]

Hope you all had a great time escaping the cold and snow and hanging in our neck of the Florida woods. We like staying at BlueWater when we can get in.

[@ahough48]

You missed the Circus museum and John Ringling's mansion Ca d'Zan! Fabulous!

[@edbenson98]

COVID-19​ Temporary closure or reduced hours may be in effect

[@jannettejohnson1100]

So glad you enjoyed my backyard. I love Turtle beach and the surrounding areas. There are great museums, botanical gardens and Mote aquarium. Several fish markets and great restaurants. Love living in Sarasota county.

[@pamelag2223]

I laughed so hard at Charlie in the intro! Tori looks great! Love the area you were at! Stayed at Anna Maria...rented a Harley and cruised!

[@BenNstyle]

This segment was so refreshing 🏝 🍹both on the water and off. Polo - the sport of kings, not only shows off the skill of teamwork but also the agility of the horses too. Watching Tricia grill the swordfish, made my mouth water. Hope it was as good as it looked! Safe Travels and Happy Trails KYD!

[@mathewtangbakken882]

I recently purchased a camper, mostly due to my ex stepsons asking me to be their dad and for my son. Wanting to build memories with them. I found your family, researching do's and dont's to RVing. I am in love with your family and your energy. May God continue to bless your lives and thank you for the smiles and laughter you all bring to everyone. If you all ever get up by Sheridan Wyoming maybe I can treat you all to dinner.

[@timscaife9143]

The summer to remember t-shirt should just be Marc with the mullet and sunglasses

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I agree. It's a great look and Trish loves it!

[@timscaife9143]

I mean, who doesn't love it! 🤷

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

@@KeepYourDaydream haha, let’s hear from Trish on that one 😉😉

[@amypletcher4411]

When he popped up with the mullet look, 🤪 I was cracking up!! So funny!

[@richodphoto]

it should be Marc with the mullet look reaching to blast the air horn :-)

[@peggywilliams1191]

Yeah Tori, it is always wonderful to see that beautiful face!!!! And who knew Polo could be so fun, kinda of like the Lumberjack festiva you all took us too...Charlie you look marvelous darlin, and who knew peanut butter and jelly bones...love Peggy 💗 ♥ 💓

[@Toursavvy]

Thanks for sharing this trip to Sarasota, Siesta Key is my favorite place to vacation! We found Big Water Seafood the last time we were there and went almost every day of our trip! Loved the video, hope you get to go back and stay a little longer!

[@jeffslapp313]

Glad to see you made it back to Sarasota! Too bad for COVID preventing meet-ups. While I love traveling with my RV, I always love coming back home to Sarasota /Venice! Enjoy your travels!!!

[@wannabefulltimers]

We love Sarasota area. We live 4hrs north east of there. I proposed to my wife at Siesta Key. Trish always finds the best things to do and where to find the best food. Lucky man you are Marc!

[@amypletcher4411]

Love Charlie's new look!! What a handsome older 🐶! 😍 You guys make watching camping adventures so much fun!!

[@danjones0212]

There is so much more to sarasota than the keys. So many things to do here. Glad y'all had a blast.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

I love your videos. I feel like I am with you. Thanks so much for all the talking to us. I appreciate it. Charlie looks so cute and summery. Our spaniel does not like the heat either. Love your sense of humor too. We all need laughs. My son and his family live in St. Petersburg. I have been to that Saturday market many times.

[@rhondalyn100]

Always great to see your little sweetie, Tori!

[@davidi3733]

Hi Charlie, as we say here in Buffalo, NY "Lookin Good ain't cheap", and your looking great, our labs do the same thing, just love it... Glad to see Victoria was able to come to Sarasota for a bit, fun times as always, enjoy your week KYD Family

[@m.elizabethmartinez8670]

Omg 😱 I was at my Alamo Heights Rotary happy hour last night and they all know how stoked I am for RVlife as I begin my adventures. I met a fellow Rotarian named Andrew who told me he’d bought an airstream in 2019 just like yours. I quickly exclaimed “ Do you know KYD ?!!!?!!!? “ he does !!!! Yay !!!! My first KYD connection!!!! No one has come out of the woodwork with our caps 🧢 yet, gotta get our T-shirt game going and this will be my Inaugural Summer To Remember-💓- so freaking EXCITED 😝 PS Andrew is ‘hitched to adventure’ on IG They named their rig Adventure- genius!

[@momg49]

St Armond Circle. Wonderful Shopping. Drum Circle - Nokomis. Fabulous. So much to see and do in the area.

[@aaronrogers4759]

Charlie and that bone! 😂 ... and when he was laying on the ground and gave you the side eye 🤣 Polo match looks like fun. Good to see Tori on the channel again.

[@bsb1191]

No other channel inspires me more than KYD to plan an RV trip!!!

[@gheath10]

I live in Sarasota... where did you stay? Lido beach is my favorite beach... mostly for the reasons Trish noticed.... less crowded and a little older crowd... it also has The off shore Grand Prix, right off the beach, the end of June.... It is one of the best places, especially for anything Art related, to live.... going full time in June! Looking so forward to it...I have lived here since 1977! Time for a change...to make some new memories! Thanks for all that you do! You guys are The Best!

[@drinkinslim]

Charlie looks soooo good. He got a lotta love in the episode. Nice.

[@herveyforward5956]

Thanks for visiting Florida, Hope you enjoyed some sun and fun in our neck of the woods.

[@kellyjcrowell]

We so appreciate your videos and E3! We purchased our first trailer in Georgetown TX, loading up and making plans to hit the road mid April (after our 2nd vaccine)... we sold everything in So Cal, retired and ready for adventure! 😁

[@jolenecreech7648]

Helloooo Tori! 😄💜. So great to see you!!! And Charley looks so cute after his haircut!!! He loved his peanut butter and jelly bone 🍖! What a treat. 🐕♥️💜❤️🐶🌸

[@AchFam]

I love Charlie’s facial expressions while he’s chewing that bone!

[@golfnut2599]

we live in Florida at a place called The Villages, if you ever have a chance you should visit there's a ton of stuff to do here and it's amazing just to see it, we have almost 50 golf courses, we also have polo fields which operate in the spring and fall. if you ever have a chance you must visit the barnum and bailey circus musuem in sarasota.

[@wherervpark-ingnow3402]

I live in Sarasota and one of our favorite places to camp is up there by you at Grand Oaks...The horse shows are Awesome and the grounds are Beautiful!

[@edyoung6573]

My wife and hit Turtle Beach campground on our way back from Key west last September in our Lance truck camper (we escaped Ma for a month) Turtle Beach is Definently a destination place! Definently want to go back!!

[@christomtbworldwide8251]

Great Videos! Your family is an inspiration. Can’t wait to go camping this summer and make memories with our children

[@meadowbrookguideservice8359]

One of my most recent favorite videos! Looked like great family time. Thanks for all the pro tips! Trish, would love to have a tips and tricks for the black stone flat top. We have one..not really my husband's favorite.

[@ZachThorp]

We've been at sunnfun since 12/25/20! So cool you guys were here!! Give a trip down TN Dr next time :)

[@sherriitsamea3476]

I am completely in love with Charlie 😍😍😍

[@davidherrington5735]

I watched and it feels like just 5 minutes passed by, so much content to be enjoyed by everyone who subscribes. Enjoyed this episode enormously.

[@lastlaplogistics8512]

I live in Sarasota, It's so cool to see my home town in my favorite KZbin channel.

[@jomarkelly3932]

Great. Video...I used to have an office in Sarasota & a condo on Lido Beach. When we are at Fort Myers during winter with our 5th Wheel, we still drive up to St. Armands Circle to eat at the Columbia Spanish Restaurant... Safe Travels! John & Marcia / Greenville, Ohio

[@jonwigby]

On attaching those platform pad feet to the steel pads, you have to first either straighten the steel feet, which may be possible or replace them first.

[@jimc.6127]

That was a great vid. Very professional. Your Lives just flowed in Sarasota! Thank's for sharing.

[@briancarr1794]

We have these oar boards which attach to the paddle board and it becomes a rowing single. So when Carson comes back to the travels he won’t miss his training. Takes up no space and easily attached.

[@ShawnaTheGirl]

Wow, the polo tailgating looks so fun! When I was a teen, my family used to tailgate at a local race track.... CAR races, on a dirt track. By the end, you were half-deaf and had dirt in your teeth. The polo looks a little more refined!

[@kvt41pq]

I enjoy listening to your intelligent and logical explanations (i.e. the snap pads) but in general you do that often and I learn from them

[@cassidyarent5939]

Trish always has the best hats!! I want them all 😂😂

[@fitnessforhealthandhappine1746]

I personally like the orange blocks because the LESS you have crank down the stabilizing pads, the more stable the RV. I try not to crank them down more than 4". When I used to only use one pad per stabilizer, I could still feel the RV shake... With a stack of orange blocks and only cranking down a few inches, the RV is rock solid!

[@richodphoto]

TORI !!!! i swear ive been watching for so darn long when i see one of your kids show up i get excited like one of my kids are home :-)

[@Jean2235177]

I miss Sarasota! I miss the beach! Those snap pads look like a great idea. Sent a link to hubby. Enjoy that fresh fish! nothing better than fresh Florida seafood.❤👍

[@tomcravillion1539]

Just noticed: you are using your paddles backwards! I know it seems to be the opposite, but the blade stays in the water longer & gives you more push with less fatigue. Also-check out Owns Fish Camp next time for a real classic treat-arrive early!

[@NoSnowSUPAZ]

Caleb was using correctly and Mark if you'll notice has his GoPro mounted on the shaft so he just has it flipped temporarily for footage capture 😉

[@brianhubbard6423]

Always great to see Tory. Swaging the 70's look dude and Charlie looking lean with the new haircut. Caleb as normal great entertaining. Just bend the pads flat and save a buck. The Township I retired from has a Polo center and holds a few events each year. Keep the rubber on the road. Safe travels and God bless.

[@rvcouple7566]

Dogs aren’t generally hot from their coat. It actually insulates them. But Charlie did look so cute. We have snap pads and love them. Your fish looked fantastic.

[@badgerpa9]

Glad Tori was able to visit that had to be nice, hope Carson is doing great. Caleb is a great entertainer, Charlie was the happy dog so adorable. I was waiting to see Trish's toast fly off the plate but no it didn't, I grew up with the hand talkers in aunts, grandmas, etc.

[@vetteb96c]

You paddled right by our condo on canal by Turtle Beach. 👍

[@srqlisa7881]

Sarasota ah I just missed you, I knew you would love my Sarasota (srq). I just moved in Feb after living there for 46 yrs. And there is so much more to see and do. Try Gentle Giant dog food sold at walmart. My sisters dog is 7 and runs around like a puppy. Lived in lakewood ranch, so do the clydesdale horses in the winter, private though. Had been given a polo horse that was retiring from matches. I loved it there. Did you get the chicken, walnut, grape salad from mortons, it's the best thing ever, That area was my stomping grounds as a kid. I'm so happy you enjoyed some of what srq has to offer, you must visit again. peace

[@stephenbarr8822]

You got your puppy back, Marc make a step stool for Charlie. Swordfish looked delicious Martha Leach. You guy's are probably back now so you guys missed another bad storm. That Crystal ball has been good to you. Would of thought there would be a little more MASK wearing but it was in Florida. Governor is happy with what he has done in his State. Anyway you guys bring a lot of joy for us on Sunday nights. BE SAFE

[@KandyKas]

Spent all weekend getting the truck and trailer ready for some awesome camping coming up and now time to relax and watch some kyd!

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Good to see your most of your family together. All the beach pictures makes me miss living in Florida. Another great video!!

[@MehmetcanKarahan]

Best part of Sunday is a new episode :) ... Can you guys make a video on if you miss the 5th wheeler with the dually Ford vs. your current setup? We're running a single axle trailer w/ a minivan but have our hearts set on your previous setup. Wondering which is ideal for you guys .... Cheers!

[@rockerscale]

You guys should look up paddle board J stroke technique. It will keep you from having to swap sides and you will still go straight

[@dallaswillard2611]

Great times as usual. Loved catching up and seeing what your all up to. Awesome as usual.

[@pierreguertin7674]

Such a nice place Sarasota area! We love beeing there! Can’t wait for the borders to re-open and enjoy this part of Florida...little secret for a beautiful, calm,impeccable beach...Anna Maria beach north of Cortez😉🤫

[@actioncfc]

Myakka state park is awesome. At wintertime the amount of birds is amazing!!!

[@mattsmith3305]

Another great video! My daughter, her husband, and my 2 granddaughters live in Sarasota. I usually stay at Mayakka River State Park when I visit her. While in Sarasota did you by any chance visit Marie Selby Botanical Gardens? My daughter was married there. Also, Mote aquarium is another cool spot to visit. I agree with you to avoid Siesta Key Beach if you want something less crowded and a place to park! And the Crab and Fin restaurant on St. Armand circle is a great spot for seafood.

[@Stew4arts]

I thought I saw you on I75 going northbound around 5:30 this afternoon 3/22/21outside of Atlanta Ga

[@KeepYourDaydream]

not it :)

[@ricks5112]

Love your videos. In regard to the snap pads, what if you drilled a hole towards the top edge of the pad above the surface of the metal foot. Then installed a 1/4" stainless steel bolt all the way across to the other side of the pad. Do that for the front and back if the pad. I think the pad would stay secured no problem. Just a thought.

[@laurilaverty4874]

It was so nice to see you guys today at Shake Shack! I was totally fangirling! I hope you enjoyed your visit! You guys are awesome! 💗

[@Jennifer-jr4oz]

I use to live in Sarasota and miss it! It was great seeing your video, saying to myself I know where there at during your traveling in Sarasota, Turtle and Siesta Key.

[@katepowell1051]

I never want these videos to end!!!

[@campfirerob1089]

Mark, are the pads in your Amazon store? thanks

[@sallyjaynes2433]

Great *Sarasota fun from doggie grooming to water boarding on the ⛱️🏖️! Looking towards that area city/beach inclusiveness along with St. Armand Circle of goodie 🛍️ shopping myself in the near, thanks for show & tell....

[@lcmm55]

Suggestion for the stability feet. Place a piece of 2x4 under half of the foot and use a hammer to tap or adjustable wrench closed to bend the foot flat. Or, place the wood in the center and pry both sides down at the same time. By the the way Eileen and I have friends in Bradenton and we have been to Leto beach several times. Parking can be a problem. But is some of the best sand anywhere.

[@mtnsarecalling2344]

Trish we need camping clothing tips. 🥰 your outfits are so cute!

[@cathyhickman5682]

Trish would make a burlap bag look cute!

[@tjsfarmandfamily]

My family and I will in the area in 2 weeks thanks to your past videos. Doubt you'll still be there but if so, we'd love to meet our favorite RV'ers! Thanks for the awesome videos

[@10001694]

If you plan to return in the future, check out Fort DeSoto located north of the Skyway bridge in St Pete. You have to make your reservations starting 6 months in advance. Located on the water and it’s a County park/campground.

[@caseypries7559]

I've gotta say this is one of the better episodes you guys have had recently. I think you've been leaning a little too heavy on the video/music montages and not as much on content but this one was very entertaining. Good job!

[@sparkleandspurs]

Perfect timing & great tips! We full time & will be visiting Sarasota Apr 1. Safe travels.

[@RickyLHendricks]

For the feet on the stabilizers, crescent wrench or vice grips and a 4 foot pipe. Since you don’t have a work bench/vice and sledgehammer. 😊

[@eddiemontgomery1119]

Loved Charles new haircut. Sarasota looks beautiful. Putting that on our list to visit.

[@stevepowsinger733]

I just see this so you’re prob gone but I’m in Sarasota. That must be at Sun n Fun off I-75. 2. Airstream is supposed to be tops but clearly the feet are cheap. 3. The inflatable standup boards look like fun. I might buy one but I have trouble kneeling like she did. I wonder if one can take floatable stool. 4. Morton’s is great. Eddie M an old friend. Nice family. 5. I’ve never been to the Polo games. Thanks. That was St. Armands Circle. Myakka State Park.

[@pamc.3718]

Just love Kaleb’s personality. Your whole family is great. 😁

[@johnleblanc4553]

If you put the stabilizer down so that it just touches the ground and get a hammer and bang the thin baseplate flat it should correct the bent plate

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

Another great adventure. Thanks for sharing guys. Have a safe drive to Crystal River.

[@dawnprinceotto3115]

Not related to this video, but I’ve been watching your previous seasons and was so excited about The Grand Hotel at Mackinac Island. I love the movie Somewhere in Time. My Mom and I watched it so much when I was a kid that I named my first born and only daughter “Makenna” (after Elise McKenna).

[@ibMoose2u]

I know you guys know this, not just Goldens, ALL puppers need positive affirmation, it works wonders for all breeds!

[@Dachdogoriginal]

Might I suggest you put the pad on the outer elevated portion first, then drop and pop it into the inside back portion with leverage. Just a thought...

[@ronilm100]

Mark, you’re using your paddle board paddle with it facing the wrong direction. The paddle’s blade is supposed to be angled forward, so as you complete your stroke, the blade is closer to being vertical thereby maximizing the power of each stroke.

[@noconz0727]

Happy Sunday Fam!

[@Markpatrickrich]

Fun episode lots to do in sarasota you guys sure have fun together. I just got those snap pads for my 2020 fifth wheel trying to set my rig for easy set up I'm by myself thank you for all your help in your other videos so helpful and fun safe travels 🙏🏻❤️🤙🏻

[@johnwalsh4018]

At Crystal River definitely check out Famous Bird's Underwater Manatee Dive Center. My wife and I made the trip there in January, swimming with manatees is an experience you will never forget.

[@rickwatson7800]

Born again puppy! Charlie Rocks!!!

[@ceciliapetrowsky2572]

We’re wondering why you use a hand pump on your paddle boards, which is hard and time consuming, over using your ViAir compressor. Wouldn’t it be easier and faster?
