Q&A THE TRUTH ABOUT RV LIVING (KEEP YOUR DAYDREAM)

[@keriboberry9941]

Thank you for the comment, "focus on the traveling and not the rv'ing". I think we all forget this :)

[@sheilahag]

Hi Trish, you mention that you want a slow cooker. May I suggest you get an Instant Pot? They are amazing! I you can cook things in 1/2 (or more) of the time!!! There are videos on it .... check it out (& they are fulltimers, too)!

[@007777777bond]

You guys are amazing at explaining things. But as I'm watching you guys I'm realizing how much water is actually blowing by behind you and I'm thinking wow imagine if Arizona had that water!! Probably would make Arizona a rainforest lol sorry off topic. 😖

[@winebox]

As soon as you said, "We don't talk to each other off camera" you got a thumb's up.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Lol. I like the qualifications. I'll ensure a healthy dose of sarcasm to keep the thumbs-up rolling.

[@regenagroen4631]

HEY GUYS!! Just joined ya!! My hubby subscribe u guys & told me u lost your furbaby.. I'M so so sorry... We have lost a lot of furbabies, Yes we love all animals... I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS!!!! It IS a very sad thing to loose part of u'r family.. Anyway from a newbie to u2.. I've enjoyed the both of u!!! Great video.. Much needed info. Thanks... We plan on doing the same, (an RV living) in a few yrs. I myself can't wait!!! Love the vid/info.etc.!!! Hope to run into u guys when we're on the road.. GOD BLESS!!!!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks! Welcome.

[@DavyVTV]

Love your channel. I'm Latino (Cuban) really enjoyed your Miami/Everglades video. As a police accountability activist, writer and blogger I want to ask, has law enforcement ever harassed you on the road?

[@gingerhewett9636]

Hi this Ginger (not your RV)! Just bought our first RV (yea) My hubby is a retired Oklahoma State Trooper after 38 years being the dreaded "Smokie!" I am a retired photographer and taught adult education in Photography. Just wanted to say Thank you for all your excellant advice it has really made preparing for our first trip on the road (going 36 miles to Chickasaw Natl Park). Of course the RV Store tried to sell us everything . . . Amazon was the best place to find the exact same thing for a lot less. Thank you again for all your good advice and please keep them coming!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Hey there Ginger. There are so many people from the force that watch the channel. We love it. Congrats on the rig. Fair roads!

[@annotoole7387]

HI Trish & Marc, I LOVE Your Videos! We are looking at buying a Teardrop trailer, do see many of them in your travels? Also, the kitchen & the appliances to include, is an obsession for me at this point. What have you found 'Indispensable' on the road? Thanks, Ann

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Yes, we see them all the time. Our kitchen is too small for appliances. She uses her Le Creuset almost everyday. It's nice because we can slow cook on the stove or use it to make brownies in the oven. Doesn't need to be plug'd in like a crock pot. She also has consolidated the kitchen utensils to only the essentials. Best of luck!

[@tomdellaringa3684]

we love your ideas and energy. arizona is so hot this year but would not live anywhere else. keep it safe, have loads of fun, keep making day dreams.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We agree. The more we travel the more we appreciate Arizona.

[@allenbartman2346]

First off we have to say we love the channel. We are just starting out with our first RV and I can't tell you how many times I have said, "well Marc said we should do this.....Tricia said this is a good thing to have" etc. We are surprised that your Q&A session didn't have this question. With the kids essentially in the same room as you are when do you have some couple "alone time"?

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Lol. So funny. This question has been asked 7 different ways and we're yet to come up with a cleaver answer.

[@jackquinndennis1636]

I get it! June and Ward Cleaver!!! LOL...

[@grebearnnumber4729]

Hi guys, just got back from 9 day vacation to Banff and surrounding area. The smoke is not an issue. Yes, some days were smokey/hazy but we just planned our trips accordingly - no issues. I wouldn't skip this area. I have No Regrets! Loved the area.

[@jeffwhitmoyer1179]

Susan says Thank You for your answer to her question. We'll keep the Panini maker even though it won't make waffles or pancakes. It does a great job with burgers, dogs and toasted cheese sandwiches which qualifies it as a multi-purpose appliance. The Nesco goes, since a crock pot does the same and takes less space. BTW, Tori and our ginger Granddaughters could probably pass for sisters. Not just looks, but their actions and mannerisms. Maybe we'll see you on the road.

[@fanaticnomadicadventures6139]

I just bought my first rig 2008 lexington forest river gts 283 i watch your videos and you inspire me and my wife to take the plunge and start traveling year round in the RV we're from Boca Raton Florida hopefully when you guys travel back to Florida you do a meet up thanks again for the videos

[@yvonneg9964]

we've been full timing for 8 years and love it! we are stationary for months at a time because we travel with work contracts so our 5th wheel functions as our home with all the amenities of home . we also have 3 pugs and a 140 lb Newfoundland (affectionately called the pony) and traveling with the dogs is great! they are awesome and keep us moving and in shape. if you get the chance...do it!

[@yvonneg9964]

Also, regarding the health insurance...I am in a health share. The price was very good per month and it covers you worldwide for any doctor/hospital/urgent care that you need to use. There are 5 or 6 main health shares of which I am aware. Read carefully because each health share is different and covers differently. Some don't cover anything to do with motorcycles, some don't cover ambulances, some will only cover 3 occurances per year and their pre-existing conditions work differently as well. I have just had my first medical need so I am about to find out how well mine works.

[@hjhjhjhjhjhjjjhjjh]

Thank you for sharing this information!

[@carlaifera5254]

......excuse me, but you guys look/act/talk like celebrities.........great 'tools' for supplying much needed info/encouragement for the rv community..........God keep/direct/prosper your lives toward His purpose........ \o/

[@ladidi5222]

Great video, as usual. I hope you give the youtubers a chance to win something once in awhile. I don't do other social media. Thanks, Diane in Maryland.....But, wish I could be back where I grew up in Portsmouth, NH and Kittery, ME.

[@backwoodsbaby9729]

How do you handle shaving legs in a tiny rv shower??? And daily hair washes ect. Without wasting water.

[@backwoodsbaby9729]

Oh and is your oldest going to learn to tow the trailer??

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I think the girls turn off the water off/on. If we had on demand hot water... it would be better! Larger rigs might have larger hot water tanks.

[@lindajung4257]

Turn a bucket (just big enough to get your foot up high enough) upside down and use it to put your foot on. Use a small squeeze bottle with and put in only about an 1/8 of conditioner and the rest water. Wet leg, shake the bottle and squeeze just enough out to lightly cover leg, shave rinse and repeat other leg and pits. I've been using this for my legs and pits for years, cheap and legs are so soft and smooth. Good Luck Backwoods Baby; Love your name!

[@madlinktechnology5157]

Keep Your Daydream when it comes to shower time, we turn on both electric and gas on the water heater. This makes recover much quicker. We can shower 7 people back to back without issue.

[@justamom863]

Nathan Vuon we've done that too. It really helps to keep the water hot

[@mikeventi637]

Phew I had to breath after that Awesome Q&A...many thanks.....you guys are such a breath of fresh air of excitement... many thanks...and always "safe-travels"

[@leonardmarlborough5587]

Been watching your videos for a while now as my girl and I are preparing to retire and hit the road. Your videos are the most informative, enlightening and enthusiastic I have come across. You have no idea how they are helping us prepare! Thank you so much and keep em coming!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks for letting us know! You'll love it.

[@Pookieandthebear]

Our must haves are the same! I love my portable laptop desk (same one) and our wagon. We have the wagon with the fat beach wheels. We use it ALL the time! Great video! Spot on.

[@LetsRVtv]

In regards to cooking my wife is using an electric pressure cooker that is awesome. As well as a microwave rice cooker. Meals are done in minutes. I like your advice about just getting into an RV first. We have changed our minds on what the perfect Rv is so many times. Until you do it you won't know what you need. We started using Oxy Kem with the black tank and it works great. We buy it at Walmart. What do you guys use?

[@coltonleake8491]

Keep Your Daydream, great video! I hated how smoky it was because of the wildfires. I hope you guys will come back to OR because I would love to meet you guys!!

[@pianogina]

Picking up our first ever trailer in 9 days. Thanks for this very informative video. I can't wait for the dog video-one main reason why we decided to purchase an RV was so we can take our fur baby along without paying expensive hotel fees. Love all your videos!

[@brianhildebrand6272]

Love the comment about not making the RV the hobby, treat it as the tool to get you to places. That is why we are really looking at our needs in an RV and not the wants. When you focus on the wants you cross the line and I get concerned that if you make the RV to comfortable you will be less likely to want to leave it. I just need someplace to sleep, put my stuff, and to get out of the bad weather. We are renting a teardrop camper this weekend, can't wait to try it.

[@larrybowls6986]

This is a great video. We have been following your videos since earlier this year. We pulled the plug and hit the road June 26, leaving Southern California. Currently in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada after a couple of weeks in the Upper Penninsula area of Michigan. Will be turning west to Washington state this coming week. Thanks for all the good tips and encouragement.

[@californiaexploring7319]

That was some serious speed talking. Great job.

[@andriymamonov3438]

Mark, thank you so much for ALL! I bought RV last Friday. All dreams come true!

[@kenlynch6332]

Most informative & fastest 35 minutes on You Tube ... Well done

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Oh good.

[@sherrielynn2007]

Insta-Pot is awesome it does everything and well worth the investment! You can go on your adventures and come home to a yummy lunch or dinner ready! One of the options on the Insta Pot even makes yogurt:)

[@MissSadara]

You guys could probably benefit from a fifth wheel with a middle bunk. Checkout Coachmen Chaparral models 360IBL, 371MBRB, 390QSMB and 391QSMB. I can see your family fitting in something like those models. Of course, go with the brand and model that works best for you. But, I love that most of those models have a large rear living area, large kitchen and still have a bunk room with two double beds OR Queen/twin combo. We have a family of 4, we're in a TT very similiar to yours and I dream of having a fifth wheel like the ones I mentioned for the extra seating space. I'd love for us to be able to watch a movie together without me (the mom) having to lay on one of my kids bunks to see the movie and help keep the peace with the limited seating options.

[@momapes]

I loved watching this video! So informative. Enjoy CDA and the surrounding areas. We lived there for over 40 years so I know the area well. SOOOO much to see and do- the area is known for the MANY lakes it has. Too bad you hit the Pacific NW at this time of the year with all the fires- we are in bad smoke clear down here in Boise. Take care and take it all in............ Mo

[@gailgrimble2190]

Great video as always!!! 💚. Love the time stamp idea. That water in the background was the prettiest color. Trish-about the smells.... one word....Febreeze!!!!!! Does NOT 'mask' the smell -- it neutralizes it. Take it from someone with 2 cats.

[@kathockman765]

waiting for that dog and rv thing! I have 3 small rescues...I only take small trips currently....but traveling on longer adventures solo and grocery shopping has me stumped....LOVE you guys!

[@ixcuinaserpent]

thank you for taking the time to read all our questions and short them out and create this awesome video to answer ALL ! i really enjoy all your videos !! Love love your videos !!

[@marioguerrero3607]

We are selling our house and we just bought our RV how do you do it with three kids we are planing to follow in your footsteps

[@gmcacadia9973]

Just as a thought, how about pointing out places that may be specifically suitable or unsuitable for those with handicaps. My wife has Parkinson's but still walks fairly well for a short distance. I'm trying to get her to go on the road for a year or two while the gettin' is good.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We make a point to do that as much as possible. Check out today's episode in Portland. I'm sure we can do more.

[@terryrussell5392]

You guys are awesome, so much to learn from. I am just starting, the hard things for me is is getting out there, I have a Class C 25ft just enough for me and the Yellow Lab who will be going with me all the time. I think the most expense I will have is going to be the fuel other than that not so much, as long as I can plug in and not pay to much per night I will do just fine, thanks again for sharing your tips and tricks with me. Terry

[@sanoroo]

My wife and I consider Coeur d'Alene our home. We met and married there a few (many) years ago. I was elected to three terms to represent CdA in the Idaho State Senate. We now live and work in Wausau, WI; a beautiful place, but not Coeur d'Alene, ID.

[@cindysears3130]

Love your videos! Your Amazon link doesn't seem to be working. I want to be sure you get credit for purchases. Thanks for the great info and for sharing your travel and your family. Your videos are amazing and I so much enjoy the humor and the reality you document with your travels.

[@SeasideVanlife]

Even though we are not in our caravan/trailer full time, lots of interesting information and fab video!

[@ExploringKY]

Another great video!!! So season 4 is going to start out with a new truck and fifth wheel???? Can't wait!! Lol. Safe travels.

[@billc3628]

Thank you both sooo much for ALL of the great advice! Wife and I are buying our first RV next week. A Forrest River Vibe Extreme lite 315BHK (34'8"). Have watched many of your videos and learned a LOT. Thanks again. Keep them coming.

[@carolmiller4445]

Thanks so much! I'm getting ready to embark on a similar adventure with my kids! You have been helpful and inspirational and also motivating!! --and esp your amazing kids!!

[@Tejadajessenia]

Wow u powered thru those questions...thanks for all the insight. 🤗🤗

[@jamesfarnham1976]

Great video! When I saw how long it was I considered the need for popcorn. OMGosh the way you did it rapid fire with an outline if desired was excellent! You two are awesome as usual!! Love your family, I miss Maddie. Thank you for all you do!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Lol. We miss Maddie too.

[@alenehochstetter1708]

I did have popcorn! Lol!

[@cbkb983]

Hate to be biased but, really can't go wrong with a German Shepard. Energetic, extremely loyal to the whole family. And, LOVES to travel and camp. Love my Darci!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Great dogs for sure.

[@justamom863]

Keep Your Daydream I would check into breed restrictions before getting a German shepherd. Although they are amazing dogs, they are on "the list" and private campgrounds can claim that their insurance policy will not allow them on the property. Sad but it is reality for a lot of people that own certain dog breeds

[@cbkb983]

Very true. Some parks aren't fans of big dog breeds.

[@mikaylahwoof8988]

Hate to be biased, but in my experience, they whine a LOT. They drool on the floor after drinking water horribly, to the point of a slip hazard. However, they are still great dogs.

[@queenbetsy2]

We live in Spokane and will be in Coeur d'Alene tomorrow for some appointments. We would have loved to say hi to you guys but you're probably gone already. The smoke is really nasty right now isn't it?

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Look for us around town. I'd love to tell you where we'll be... but we've been doing nothing but working and editing since we got here and we need to hit the town to get some footage. Hope we bump into other!

[@queenbetsy2]

Keep Your Daydream We'll keep an eye out for you. North Idaho has some gorgeous hikes, etc. We're heading to our 29 foot trailer at Loon Lake just north of Spokane tomorrow afternoon. Most of the summer is spent there...Hubby commutes to work in Spokane every day. We're planning to full time travel in a couple of years. Unfortunately his job isn't one he can do while traveling. We hope you enjoy Idaho and Montana. We love it here.

[@judyjudyjudy9593]

Your mail arrangement is awesome! First time I have heard of that! What about packages?

[@lauraruiz-miner6680]

Awesome video. Love your Q & A's. Always get great information from all your video's. Safe travels.

[@ncdean62]

Wow! Answered all those questions in record time! Most obvious unanswered question, you two are fantastic parents! Family first, vlog is a job. You two are great, make it look easy!

[@bobfox321]

Would you, have you, could you consider a family sized catamaran (40-50ft)? You would probably need to stay within Internet continental access to keep "Your DayDream Enabling Job." Perhaps only crossing oceans during the kid's summer vacations (if you allow that?) Let me state that you would be my unequivocal and ideal family for doing the above.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

Ram diesel is the way I'll be going hopefully a one ton truck if it's in the budget... But for me I won't go any smaller than a 2500... My wife wants a Class B plus... But I've found that right now we can buy a class C 24ft. cheaper than a class B in todays market. But my wife isn't ready to retire and I'm not physically able to travel just yet... It's all in God's time not mine.... Thanks for another very good info video... Be blessed... BBE..

[@bryanvangyzen3585]

LOVE the videos! We don't do any dry camping so we always have shore power and we use our crockpot almost every day. Kind of like "set it and forget it" while we enjoy the day. We have a 2015 Keystone 31' travel trailer with the outside kitchen. We usually set it up out there for moisture and smell reasons. Its a great way to feed a family of 6 and not spend 2 hours fighting for counter space during meal prep times. There are some great crockpot cook books out there too. Plus its a one pot meal so clean up is easier.

[@kennethrogers3687]

I have had trouble adapting to my rv dog. We are always in each other's way. He's small, thankfully. He stares at me alot. It's uncomfortable. I am trying to cope. He is house broke and doesn't tear things up, but the staring drives me crazy. The only way to stop him is to stare back. I don't care for that. And he runs off and ignores my calls. Think twice before getting a rv dog. It will change your life!

[@Thomas-qk7wf]

Great tip on not letting the RV takeover the reason for doing what you're doing. Travel/Adventure is the reason.

[@dchristopher6411]

You guys are great! So many not able to live the dream but we get to kinda live it through you on you tube. THANKS.

[@alanmcniff1696]

Marc, perhaps someone else has asked this question before so excuse me if they did and I didn't see it but, with all of the video you capture, how and where do you store all of the footage? That's a lot of data to store some place and I'm guessing you have way over several terabytes of data. Just curious how you might handle that. Thanks for your answer in advance.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I'm planning on doing a video about camera gear and best practices. I use 1 terabyte per month and use this ext. hard drive amzn.to/2wvJksN

[@moondancer5115]

Re black tanks...I heard of dumping a bucket of ice cubes in your tank after dumping, right before driving to next location. The ice gets knocked around in there ...then, flush/rinse at next stop. Seems like it would work. Happy trails, Guys!

[@hjhjhjhjhjhjjjhjjh]

Good job! Words of encouragement: We homeschooled our boys and they are now wonderful, accomplished adults and one of my answers to the boredom question was it's good to be bored. Boredom breeds creativity, you were not created to be entertained all the time. You guys are doing an awesome job with your family and your videos and everything.

[@sandradee11482]

This was not only fun (as always), it was really useful info! PS, I think I knew Marc was in marketing, but I didn't know specifics. I run my own copywriting & content marketing business and the only thing I wish is that I'd launched it (and my independent business owner life) much sooner in my career. I launched a little over 1.5 years ago, left corporate America with a skip in my step, and wish I'd done it way before then. Kudos and all the best!

[@Fouralifetime]

We just went to Banff and now are in Glacier. We didn't have too much of an issue with smoke till we drove back to Montana. We saw the fires firsthand from the road but seeing the Athabasca glacier in Jasper was worth it. Have fun at Glacier.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Be there tomorrow. Lots of rain and wind in CDA. Hopefully that helps.

[@brianhubbard7606]

If you are a golfer, I hope you played a round and if you're like me I donated many golf ball's at the island hole to the water god's. Keep the rubber on the road.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I try not to play to avoid inspiration. I don't need another sport calling my name. I've lost many balls to the desert in AZ.

[@mordehyoz6512]

Hello to you . We watch your videos and enjoy it very much. My wife and I were in a lot of these places. We think you should present a map of your route, from the beginningTo the end. With the most important or recommended places to visit and stay. orly and mordehy

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's a great idea and something we'll do between Season 3 & 4

[@mordehyoz6512]

excellent

[@gvc56100]

Another great video guys , many RV life "important" questions answered,,,,,

[@debcastell6050]

Excellent Q&A - two questions: - Trish said she used a cleaner with essential oils - would that be Thieves? I love that one! - Can we still look forward to some of Trish's recipes? Sorry Mark, it is all about Trish today 😉

[@KeepYourDaydream]

:) Yes, we decided to do a video recipe book and you will get the first glimpse as a KYD Insider. We're going to start recording in Tahoe. We just need time in one spot. I think the video recipe book will go faster.

[@debcastell6050]

Keep Your Daydream - thanks!

[@craigsrvebayontheroad4876]

So much great information.. Were new at full time RV living and right now its being homesick thats the hardest for me.

[@DOGakaDefenderOfGems]

I am definitely of the same philosophy as far as not putting it off until you have the "perfect" RV. You are so right that it may never happen if there is always another "goal" to reach first. I have custody of my three beautiful grand daughters and until they arrived in my care, I had planned to hit the road any way I could first afford to make it happen. Of course, life sometimes has another plan, and they became my priority...but now that they are settled with me and know they are safe, it is time for some adventures. Your video's have been nothing short of fabulous. I can not thank you enough for the time and energy you have put into sharing your experiences. So many question have been answered and so many ideas and myths have been put to rest. Once we have my mother settled in long term care, we are hitting the road running. I am still undecided on which way to go in regards to their schooling, but you have given me so much to think about and questions to ask to make that decision with much more confidence. I really thought that my "daydreams" would have to be put on the back burner, but you have certainly inspired me to stop daydreaming and get moving, even with my new additions to the family. Realizing that I can still do this with these wonderful kids is so exciting now. And I cant thank you enough for that inspiration. May God bless you and keep you all safe on your travels.

[@remitremblay2091]

Thank you so much! again, such a great video with the right answers to the difficults questions! Indeed, seating in the RV when outside is not playing great, that's the biggest problem we found over time with our rig. Again, we love to follow your experience! Happy Camper from Montréal, Qc, Canada.

[@gingerware5443]

Great video. I can't believe you went through and added the times for each topic. Tedious work, great job!

[@1991birthday]

I laughed when you said it got cold in Oregon. Yeah, our weather is usually lousy. Our summer is about two months long, maybe slightly longer since it sometimes eats up the later weeks of September, if we're lucky but most of the time we have rain, cold, clouds, rain, fog, & did I mention rain? Gotta love Portland, we're pretty much siblings to Seattle, any weather you'd expect Seattle to have, prepare for that when in Portland but in July & August, that glowing ball in the sky makes things warm so at least there's that. We have had rain in August before but mostly you can expect good weather around that time. A lot of this was nice to know, I was a little worried on stuff regarding doctor visits & so on but I'm super thankful that if I need it, I can call my mom for advice since she was an ER nurse for 20+ years. I won't be RVing for a long time, I can't afford it right now but I totally want to when I can. I'd be on the road on my own but I definitely want to have a dog, I grew up with a dog & I always felt safe with him around so it will help me feel far more secure RVing with one which does bring me to something, what about emergency vet care? Like what if you're off in the woods somewhere & your dog gets injured & you need to take care of it right away yet the closest vet would take a long time to get to, what do you do then? You might of mentioned it in this video, I was cleaning while watching but I listened in on the stuff that more of appealed to me, maybe I might of missed it.

[@robertanderson-ve1uv]

oregon sounds like England, mostly dull dreary and depressing as it too is always misty cloudy windy or raining, but we do usually see more sun in the wintertime, the Only problem is the sunshine days are short and the sun has no strength to it, but does help to clear up the winter blues. At least America is a very large country and all one does need to do is to travel to the sun inside their own country, Like Miami.

[@thedonoghs]

Wow! That river is beautiful behind you guys. Thanks for the Q&A- one of the best!

[@karenrobertson890]

The most poignant thing you shared is not to think that a new rig means no issues. We purchased a new fifth wheel and have had multiple problems out of the gate. We are very disappointed and are trying hard not to let the issues drag us down.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Yes, even worst with boats. You'll get it dialed-in!

[@RoamInOurHome]

Of all your videos this one is packed with so much useful information. Very honest and real, love every answer you gave. Quick question about you going to a 5th, what are your plans for the bikes? Going with a tow hauler for the garage? How many feet are you looking at?

[@KeepYourDaydream]

You're exactly right. 35' toy hauler - the back will be for the bikes and boys!

[@RoamInOurHome]

Thanks Marc and an office for you? We've just started seriously looking at which way we are going to go after selling our house. But we will need room for two offices.

[@sfhipchick1]

I loved this episode so much! The Q&A's just went on and on. Really interesting and far-ranging. As Steve and I get closer to our RV trip, we'll go through all of your videos because they are so helpful. It makes a difference that I feel like I know you guys after all this time listening to your podcasts, emailing, and watching these videos. We will have the challenge of 3 dogs and a parrot. But honestly, we think that by the time we take off, it will be one dog and our beloved little avian girl. We've done a lot of thinking about how it will all work, and we know they both love traveling (Steve actually built a backpack hiking cage for our parrot and Pumpkin has been to Yosemite and many other places!). We wonder about AC and leaving our animals in the RV to go shopping, etc...I know the restrictions vary from state to state. So much to learn. QUESTION: what about theft and break-ins? An RV podcast, "Roadtrekkers" had a break-in and they lost over $10k of stuff and money...have you guys ever had issues? Do you have preventative measures? Keep up the awesome, you two!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Hey there Janet. Yes, you've been along for the ride for a long time! Always good to hear from you. We are going to do a video on RV Safety. Sorry to hear about Mike's trouble. I think I recall that. We have had no issues. We take extra precautions when we don't like the vibe. Before going into cities, we take the bikes off the truck. If the RV park doesn't look/feel right, we might lock the bikes up or take our computers with us. One of the reasons we went with Progressive is to get 10k of household insurance. I can't recall the correct name, but it covers personal items if stolen from an RV.

[@golfnut2599]

This was a great video. We just adopted a dog 6 months ago when we were offered a 2 year old standard poodle. He is such a joy and easy to keep clean when traveling even though he's mostly white (some brown mixed in). I highly recommend a standard poodle they are very smart and great companions.

[@semiseriouschefs4629]

"I brought a rake" Laugh Laugh Laugh OL. Nice. Love it.

[@bmegel29]

I just wanted to say thank you for this video! It was nice of you to take the time for us. :) So, did you sell your house or are you renting it out? I think you sold it, but suggest renting? We're trying to decide and think we're going to rent ours for at last the beginning.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We suggest renting as it has more options. But it depends on so many factors... tough to say for you.

Going back to this video, it is funny to hear your opinion on a big dog pup in the rig and a golden. A year later, Welcome Charlie...lol

Enjoyed the video! Before retiring from my FT job at the end of April and going FT in a Class A at the beginning of May , medical insurance was a big concern. Cobra was out due to the cost, private insurance was costly as well. Through the govt. marketplace I was able to get us a policy through Florida Blue which does cover us nationwide. At least in Florida the coverage does extend out of state.

Great job. I like that computer stand. I showed it to Matt (he does most the editing) and I was rolling when you said you paid your kids not to text you. LOL

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Since I got it, my computer stays cooler due to the fans under the tray. My computer is faster when editing. It's been great.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

That makes a lot of sense!

[@KandyKas]

I am loving watching these older videos! If I remember correctly the must have wagon is gone... now you guys have the kyd cabin to rent out.. And isn't Charlie a golden?? Watching these older videos I've also seen how cute the Tori and Marc tips and tricks are and I miss them 💜

[@benjaminortiz387]

You guys are totally awesome and your videos are entertaining. Thank you for the tips, I hesitated traveling to Mexico until I saw your videos of your Mexico trip.......and survived

[@johngass1441]

Marc, I to have more tools in my camper than I need, but I might one day. I never thought to add a rake. I guess I will have to add that just to keep up with you!!!!!!!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Lol. I guess I thought I was going to have to clear a camp site. I used it once time to pick-up trash an animal got into. I left it in Grants Pass after 13 months. Wow

[@Wakeywhodat]

When you are ready, German Shepherd. There is no comparison.

[@bobfox321]

We came from a family with large dogs (German Shepards and Golden Retrievers.) For travel, we choose a Yorkshire Terrier. The ideal smaller space animal. Small, friendly, do not shed whatsoever, obedient, easily potty trained. They were bred to be mice and rat catchers. They always want to be the presence of people but NOT necessarily a lap dog.

[@chrisalteria1312]

Awesome video!!! Can't wait until next year when we get our rig and full time!!

[@Eric12358]

I had a mountain biking accident in Colorado and my Oregon "Obamacare" plan paid for it. Just needed x-rays and sling for $170.

Obviously, you've considered upgrading the truck when you find your fifth wheel. Depending on your budget, you might consider Cedar Creek or Jayco. We e've been researching rvs for a couple years, planning to snowbird eventually. If you really want, to upgrade (double the $$$i), check out Rv Factory. Wow! I love that you guys do regular q&a, always good info! Thanks, safe travels!

[@lovealwaysadventureoften172]

This is so awesome!! Thank you so much for the info! We are just starting our journey with out three kids and giant dog! The information that you are sharing is helpful and inspiring! Hope to run into on the road somewhere soon!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Sweet. Thanks! Glad it helped.

Absolutely love your channel. I live in South Africa (which is a tiny country compared to USA) and yet still haven't seen most of it. We already homeschool our 3 kids (10, 5 and 2) so recently we decided we want to do this full time travelling thing (in about a year, gotta get the 2 year old out of diapers first 😂). We are considering getting a motorhome / camper that compares in size to a class B... but can sleep 6 (2 above the driver's cab and then you have to "flip" the 2 seating areas every night). Are we crazy? Should we look at something bigger? I remember from another video of yours we should just grab the window so maybe this is what we should do and maybe upgrade later? I also gotta bear in mind that this is South Africa. We barely have winter. We would get a tent for the front which extends our living and cooking space. We also have very little rain here.... its do-able, right? 😂

[@roydavis2242]

I laughed over what you you want in your next trailer. There is a standing joke among full-timers that goes, "I wish we had bought our last camper first." My preference is a diesel Pusher towing a Jeep Wrangler so options are open, We will always have a "Homebase" to swing by occasionally. Being retired and able to maintain a Homebase is an advantage.

I'm a part of a Heath Sharing group - Samaritan Ministries and it totally works!!! Amazing and we've been doing it for 10 years. Never had a problem with it...EVER.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Yes, we recently joined medi-share and have been very pleased. We saved more than half on our premium and lowered our deductible by half also.

[@lanaleighwilkens206]

That's so great. I'm always happy when people save $ on health care!!! :)

[@patrickcallahan2210]

I thought most of the AHCA compliant plans had reciprocal agreements with their sister companies which work in other states when traveling.

[@Sparrowinparadise]

I was watching the video and looking at the background. I thought, geez, that looks like home. Funny, I had forgotten you are were in BC, which is home. Sorry I missed you. It would have been cool to meet you for some fabulous organic (of course) treat.

[@PenfoldSmith]

Single best piece of advice starts at 17:42....Oh yes...Do it.

[@PatrickWagz]

Sooooo, from what I gathered from this video.... Trish does ALL the laundry, cooking, cleaning, organizing, running errands, the kids' homeschooling, and preparing snacks for the kids. And, Marc empties out the black tank. Yea, I think that it's pretty much "equal". (If anything, I think that Trish needs another duty or 2, to make up for Marc having to deal with the "stinky slinky") Haha, just having a little fun with ya :)

[@gebi4pejo1]

I have seen a guy with his lawn mower, he takes it everywhere, he likes to mow his site before he sets up his caravan...dont know good idea or just way too much time on his hands...

[@LisaMarli]

My daughter homeschools 4 boys. There are meet ups and groups. Yes, it's easiest if have a stationary home, but the boys have friends they've made online. Not all of them are local. And those wagons are awesome. I shove it in my Prius when we go traveling. No luggage cart, no problem.

[@jimmarchman]

Saw this video on 2/20/2018. Excellent! One of the most informative of all the rv'ing vids I've watched in the past 2 years.

[@ivansukogarcia8975]

what happen with México trips and hace you think in go to Puerto vallarta and Tulum

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We'll be back. Lots to do and see
