ℹ️ About the Episode: Last week, we threw everything in the RV and hit the road. We said this time would be different - it wasn't. Just like in past seasons, we spent the first few nights on the road finding a place for everything... or putting things back in the fridge in this case! Speaking of the fridge, we just might have solved the problem this time! These challenges are all part of the process for a new season plus a new RV. We've wanted to visit Bentonville, AR, for years now, mostly due to the growing reputation of its mountain bike trails. As it turns out, there is so much more to it! You might not consider the birthplace of Walmart an epic RV destination, but that's quickly changing. Even if you don't mountain bike, there are paved walking and hiking trails with exquisite artwork to enjoy along the way-not to mention great food, which is always something we appreciate. For RVers, perhaps the biggest attraction will be Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. You'll find original pieces you'd expect to see at the Smithsonian Institution, and admission is free. There are two campgrounds in Bentonville, and the best one for you will depend on the size of your RV and the facilities you need. To learn more about things to do, places to eat, and where to stay, check out our Bentonville RVers Travel Guide here.

[@luvmykids21000]

Oh my gosh!!!! With Trish in the trailer making lunch, I thought of the movie The Long, Long Trailer with Lucille Ball. Hahahaha!!!!

[@arbonneladyTN]

MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME❤️❤️❤️❤️ (I had the same flash back to the movie with Trish in the trailer 😉) Fell in love with the movie when I was a kid, and learned how to back a trailer with Ricky & Lucy🤩

[@lornaconstantine2198]

We said the same thing. Best movie ever.

[@jonesfamily9119]

Marc talking to the camera about washers being put in the wrong place while Trish is beginning to panic and trying to grab his attention in the background is my husband and I 100%! 😅😂

[@theathjr]

The dog in the background timing his business perfectly was the ultimate. I almost spit out my La Croix

[@janetstewart6977]

God….leave it to Marc to come up yet again with an epic name for Trisha…. “ Honey Butter Biscuit “ 😂👍❤️

[@jonesfamily9119]

Omg! Everytime he uses the truck to talk to her I have to pause it to zoom in to see what today's nickname is! Lol absolutely the best 👌

[@craignelson-swiftyenzed7578]

Yes, I had to have a word about lack of honey munchkin names a couple of weeks ago, but he seems to be back in the saddle now.

[@kevinthomas8025]

"Honey Butter Biscuit " has to be one of, if not, my favorite nickname. That's awesome lol

[@500MilesMore]

When Marc says that he likes a museum (Crystal Bridges)... you know it must be amazing because we all know he's NOT a museum guy!

[@Debieehulsey]

Thank you so much for painting Arkansas in such a positive light. The expectation for our state is less than admirable, and I have never understood why. In truth, Bentonville is, and has been since Sam Walton's vision took off, the continually growing and prospering mecca of our state! Loved this episode!

[@michaeldobson8859]

I think Hillary and Bill Clinton ruined it for Yuns guys.

[@leonascherer1617]

Arkansas people are the best friendliest people we have ever run into. They came together from everywhere to help us when our trucks ac compressor blew up on a hundred ten degree day with two big dogs. They found a private mechanic for us and we were back on the road the next day. Abner's repair.

[@candyalexander2196]

Godspeed always praying for your safety. Thanks for inviting us to the wedding

[@JAYFEATHERBOONDOCKS]

I really need a Jeff and Deb in my life. They treat you right and they know how to have good clean fun and food too!

[@schedulingadventure]

Welcome to our beautiful state 💚. We watch your videos every week as a family. Our daughters were so excited to see you in Arkansas. We love Crystal Bridges. Arkansas is an extremely geographically diverse state with rich history. We laughed at your title, because most outsiders have no idea what Arkansas is really like. Hope you come back!

[@shepgre]

Welcome to my town. In the 30 years I have been here I have seen the quad cities (Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale and Fayetteville) transform from sleepy bedroom communities that shut down at 8pm and closed on weekends to vibrant, modern metroplexes. Glad you had a wonderful experience. Come again!

[@jasenrohatinsky3555]

You guy’s videos make me happy

[@denniscoyle4791]

Jeff & Deb by far the greatest camp host I have ever met. Great folks!

[@hennagal7360]

Really enjoyed this - Thanks for all your Hospitality

[@nathaliacarrera7848]

Bentonville is home, so I loved this one ❤️ 😊. Thank you for showing how beautiful our home is!!

[@tja3495]

Thanks so much for providing proof that Bentonville, AR., is not what I thought it would be. On my bucket list. 💜☮

[@chrisreynolds7482]

Wiggle for food Charlie! Yeah. Our golden starts dancing when it is dinner time. Don’t be late… she knows the time. 😂

[@sanjuancapo2862]

At 22:00 minutes. Well I'm glad that I didn't buy those Anderson blocks a few years ago (after all). I've noticed that RVers and Van lifers endorse/promote a lot of "new" products. I would love to see a video of RV basic necessities that you "still" use and/or endorse after 5+ years? It would be nice to know what products will stand the test of time.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

I love this time of the week ❤❤

[@HeatherFetterNoSnowSUP]

I just ordered the Vinglace! I am so excited I love the secret glass interior Have a great summer you two! We miss you out here in AZ

[@rbranch2987]

Because of your Video we made a trip from AZ to Bntville just to ride! We are Lovin it!!

[@swansodi]

It has been years ago, even though I grew up in SE New Mexico, I went to the University of Arkansas, I loved the school and NW Arkansas. My freshman year, I had no relatives living anywhere near there, by the time I graduated in 4 years I had 3 sets of Aunts and Uncles, living in Rogers and on Beaver lake, all very close to Bentonville. I loved NW Arkansas!

[@Weathergeekdan]

You know you are empty nesters when you get excited for ice trays.... love your videos ! We hope to have a 30' GT twin model within a year. So glad you got this model!

[@JJ-Journeys]

Glad to see you on the road again!!

[@uniquecampingmarine]

All the mountain biking, art galleries, and food make us want to visit here!! 🤩🤩 Adding Bentonville to our bucket list!

[@nyglover]

Good fix with washers. But we use child proof clips that fit down the side and latch onto the front. 3m tape and keeps the door closed and secure during trips and bad roads.

[@UnstoppableMorgan]

I Peter ally just learned that today about propane. I went to Tractor supply to refill and had to double check my receipt! How was it so cheap!! So it’s indeed the best place, ok noted! Thanks for always giving us the great tips and tricks guys!

[@srqlisa7881]

What a fantastic museum. My mom was a Rosie. Ronnie is the man! Have a wonderful season by the way.

[@ericmcdurmon8000]

So, I offered my wife Savannah, GA for our 20 year anniversary trip. She suggested Bentonville, AR instead. I thought it was a strange suggestion; little did I know, my wife had orchestrated a meet-up & museum tour with our besties Mark, Trish, Jeff & Deb. It was great meeting the four of you! If anyone reading this/following KYD wonders if they are as nice as they seem, they are! Genuine, kind, friendly souls. Jeff may actually be the nicest person I’ve ever met! Meeting you all certainly made the trip even more memorable!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

It was great to meet you both. Thanks for saying hi. I should have known Jeff was recording us in the infinity room and we should have put on a show!

[@ericmcdurmon8000]

Yes, he was excited about the idea. His face lit up when the guy said he could record it. Safe travels!

[@garydecker3281]

Love Bentonville! Crepe place is a must but also Trash Ice-cream great 80's themed Ice-cream shop. So many great MTB trails!!!!!!

[@erniegibson743]

U-Haul will fill tanks as opposed to exchanging. Really saved me money.

[@MsSunstoned]

Love the new rig & the new season. Always fun to be back on the road with you fun loving folks. It's inspiring.

[@mwgill1]

Welcome to The ‘Sip, and Oxford in particular! We hope you enjoy Ole Miss, one of the most beautiful college campuses in the country. By the way, those crepes looked awesome!

[@davidi3733]

What a great Episode as usual... Great shots from the art studio.... Love Trish's statement at the end, you can get rid of the grill and throw in 2 mountain bikes.... Enjoy your week KYD Family

[@RoamingRazorbacks]

Your water pump is cycling (pulsing) when you have your faucet on. If you adjust the pressure switch on the pump iteself to be a bit lower it will stay constant and then the pressure wont fluctuate and cause your faucet to switch off the stream. Awesome to see you guys in my hometown!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I'll do that. Thanks!

[@tankernav72]

We did that on our Globetrotter. After cleaning out the filter with no change we did the pressure adjustment and it worked like a champ!

[@CampgroundViews]

I have followed you guys since the first flat tire ad I won't lie seeing what Marc names Trich in his contact list is one of my favorite things!

[@betterwithrum]

'it's a quarter to 12,' man I felt that one deep, deep in my soul.

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

That washroom looked so familiar yet I’ve never been to Arkansas, I realized that it resembles the washroom in Banff’s Central Park! I also was blown away how nice it was.

[@leann4925]

This is awesome seeing y'all travel together with my beloved Charlie. Arkansas is a beautiful place to travel through. Hope you didn't have to bad of weather. Enjoyed watching and thanks. Hugs to Charlie. Stay safe.

[@stanfordbanks3399]

Hay guys it's been a minute. I just wanted to say thank you for doing traveling videos. Almost all the folks we still follow are doing lots of videos but they have stopped doing them just traveling. We the people like the adventure more than just taking... Be safe and know we are following 🙏

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks. We stick to the seasons now. Winter can be tricky for creators.

[@pearceburge9478]

We've been to Bentonville a couple of times but never knew about the bike trails. My Son and I are mountain bikers so we have to put it on the list. Now we love Arkansas that much more. Thanks y'all!

[@calledtojourney]

We were just in Arkansas back in December, and it's definitely an underrated state. Some very pretty places there!

[@billg7257]

Talk about foreshadowing. After watching this episode we headed back to Canada from Arizona and guess what, fridge opened while traveling. Most rv fridges open left to right from factory and are reversed as needed. Dometic has an extra bushing for that purpose and ours wasn’t installed. The original one was still on the bottom of the door. So tape city til we got home. Keep up the good work, it’s a pleasure to watch your journey.

[@sunnycharacter]

Trish, you probably already know this, I was looking at the gorgeous Eastern Redbud blossoms in the video. They’re fully edible and make a gorgeous garnish on salad!

[@105cathy]

Crystal bridges is amazing…and the War Eagle craft fair is a huge multi town, multi location 4 day extravaganza ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you’ve visited Hot SpringsNP. 5 stars!

[@theresourcefulsteward44]

Okay, why did I get so tickled for you over the ice tray Victoria bought y’all? There is just something so sweet about the gifts your adult children buy you. Why is that? My grandmother is still holding on to an ancient microwave that my father & uncle got her and I had to sit a new one on top of the beautiful black walnut countertops that we put in her basement apartment at our home because, she will not get rid of the old one and I can’t even say anything about it because I understand, especially since my uncle is no longer with us.

[@amariev9517]

Welcome to Northwest Arkansas Marc and Trish! Excited to see you pass through this beautiful area. Hope you enjoyed your time here.

[@arborealscout4252]

I made "fridge lock hinges" using velcro that has adhesive, and they've never failed - "VELCRO Brand Industrial Strength Strips | Indoor & Outdoor Use | Superior Holding Power on Smooth Surfaces | 4in x 2in Strips | Black | 3 Count"

[@briancooper5308]

I went from full time RV to living in the Bentonville area once I experienced it. It is the over all balance that prompted the decision. I wish I would have bumped into you on the trails.

[@carolkelley5526]

We visited Graceland back in 2021 as our final stop of our Southwest trip. We had a ball. It was one of hubby's bucket list items. He actually saw Elvis live in our hometown back in the 70s.

[@nickdudek438]

The dog at the end, was the best. The dogs was like, nothing to see here, move along

[@domenickruttura5412]

Thank you for being an American Treasure!

[@UtahRoadbase]

Not sure what the previous comments said but I would definitely try white vinegar and during soaking, periodically use an old toothbrush, straw brush, or even a trash of you can get it in there, to scrub the buildup away. I soak my mineralized things for hours and scrub away to help. Good luck!

[@keithwoods7206]

Hey Mark, my son is a diesel mechanic and encouraged me to always use diesel fuel lubricant. The sulfur free diesel is hard on the engine. I have used it since day one, in every full up. Cheers!

[@JeffreyWilstone]

That diesel fuel treatment is the best! I’ve got a 2016 F-350 6.7 PS ton of miles and runs like new! Add some every fill up

[@janemuir3546]

No omelettes! Crystal Bridge looks amazing. I'm thankful you made it through that storm front.

[@Jeffbob442]

Great Vid Guys! My inlaws retired from California to the Bentenville area when it was a wide spot in the road, we thought they were crazy! But they had the last laugh as there property shot up in value SO fast! The area shortly became what you saw overnight it seemed! Never under estimate the power of Wal Mart I guess! We love going down there to camp !

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Bentonville Arkansas is a cool place, glad y’all got to go there and spend time with your friends. Great video ❤

[@ronisnow3894]

Love you all! One of my faves is seeing the new contact name for Trish on Marc’s phone. Hysterical!😂

[@marvawiebe4364]

Great B roll, great editing! Always so enjoyable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@sunnycharacter]

We moved from rural Southwest Mo., back in 2015 where we lived 30 minutes from Rogers, Eureka Springs and Bentonville, Ar., for decades. I do miss living in the country and Rogers and Bentonville are amazing! So much to see, beautiful countryside and yes, we have been to the ever-changing Crystal Bridges so many times. Always different and fun. Glad you got to see that part of God’s country!

[@janeschladand9708]

This area was on our schedule for this summer. Thanks for the great information. We will be sure to visit this awesome town.

[@rickrichardson5329]

I workers for walmart angot to go to Bentonville for a school and i was impressed with how beautiful it was around there and how much there was to do. Glad yall made it through the storm. Sray safe and looking forward to ya'lls next video

[@musimowingmoreinc9031]

Glad you were able to make it to my area. We love it here.

[@AnnaArmstrongGonzales]

I lost access to my Grannee Anne's Traveling Bucket list. I got my new access now. Which means I can get into KZbin again. I'm so excited to be able to watch you again

[@genericwatcher2439]

We stayed at my son in laws a few weeks ago and the mouth of the driveway had a ditch on both sides, plus the mailbox right at the driveway. My wife started freaking out, we blocked traffic on the road so I could back up in the middle of the road, I turned, threaded the needle and nailed it first try! I was so nervous, but when I got out of the truck, everyone was so impressed, I just owned it and said, EASY... LOL 😁

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Nice job! It's a good feeling.

[@sheilasaunders3338]

HGTV has Fixer to Fabulous with Dave and Jenny Marrs which takes place in Bentonville, so we get to see this town every week. Neat to see more of this state

[@Keithfear1]

Just as an fyi, I had the exact same issue with the fridge you do. In my case the fix was super simple. The plastic locking plate that both doors lock into has a little bit of adjustment in it so I just adjusted that instead of the washer thing. Worked very well. As an added safety thing we added kid locking straps to it. Not a single unexpected fridge opening since.

[@matthewmcnulty698]

Always love 👀 u guys on Sundays

[@Teresa.McDermott]

try a flour tortilla wit peanut butter, honey and granola. Roll it up and eat that way or cut into bite size pieces. SO good!

[@Kristian_Saile]

We were down to Bentonville from the UP to ride over that period too. Probably passed you on the trails. 😆 We left town to avoid that storm and severe weather that was coming through. Bentonville is such an amazing town to visit and ride. We were planning to take our Airstream down there but with all the severe weather and a snowstorm when we were leaving we ended up just taking our old Sportsmobile and getting an Airbnb. Ed usually stay at blowing springs in Bella Vista but honestly, the Airbnb was a really cool change of pace, really affordable even with it being just a couple of blocks from the town square and the Crystal bridges trails/Greenway. I am a little surprised that there aren’t more campgrounds adjacent to trails there like in other mountain bike towns. Our hometown of Marquette has several good campgrounds located along the trail networks. We do alot of rv’ing to mtb destinations so really appreciate that kind of integration.

[@michaeldobson8859]

That frig door should not wiggle out off the gasket by just putting slight pressure on the door side like it did when you were done. Being not tight will lose cooling. Even if it doesn’t fly open, it should hold the seal on its own.

[@jcc455]

Welcome to Bentonville! We love it here.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Love the Dale Chihuly glass filled boat. Just saw his museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. That storm looked really scary.

[@05milmachine90]

Arkansas is one of this nations best kept secrets. Something different in every corner of the state.

[@thx4nutin]

You have just added another must-do location to our trip. I always thought Bentonville’s only claim to fame was being the home of Wally World. What a great place. They should thank you for boosting their tourism rates!! 😊

[@robertmagee8257]

As you get older time seems to fly by faster. I'm 63 years old and time seems to elude me. I now have a watch on my wrist to keep track of things. It means you are slowing down a bit. Take life by the horns and go for it.

[@mwienold]

I believe the formula for the correct number of bikes to have is N+1. We focus many of our trips around the BMX race circuit for our 9yo and we sometimes travel with 6 bikes between the 4 of us…. I often wish I had a different one with us (the +1). Glad to see you hit some dirt while in B-Ville!

[@aLIVEBibleStudy-jr8zk]

I got the ice trays like yours - mine are circles - I love them - Love you rug!!

[@debbiec6216]

In this region we have bike trails all over the place. There's new bike trails being built daily. These trails will take you to other trails in other States , if you really want to connect in the Smoky Mountains ( 500 miles away ) , there's a trails for that . In our region we have 4 cities who has over 400 activities indoor and outdoor each, year round. There's so much to do , you could be busy all day long, for weeks . There's no excuse not to have fun and enjoy fun with family or friends. Everything is private for the citizens.

[@jasonbaker9696]

100% you missed out on Wright's. I got to visit their original location in Johnson a few years ago and it knocked my socks off. SO GOOD!!!

[@carolkelley5526]

We also found that LOVE's sometimes had decent propane prices.

[@timmylew]

You guys were so close to me. Love watching your videos. We live in the very far NE corner of Oklahoma and love traveling in our little camper. Off to NM soon.

[@robbieleonard881]

I used a short bungee and an upside down command hook to keep our bedroom door shut when we are traveling as well as one of our windows shut better. I did SUCH A GREAT JOB that my husband doesn’t feel the need to permanent fix them!😂

[@Augiebracerofam]

An even better spot for propane is the distributor that supplies to the area. Hope you finally find a CatScale. Thank you for sharing and have a great day.

[@1953kenny]

Great video. Loved finding out more about Bentonville. Been through there many times but haven’t spent any significant time there. And, oh my! Instant classic piece of guy telling everyone not to step on dog poop as you video the dog in the prone position in the park behind him. 😂

[@laj339]

Wow, you guys are going to be near me... Firm believer in the diesel extreme additive and the whole line... It has saved us on our diesel engines including a Ford 6.0...

[@walterp1028]

As a Texan who went to school at the University of Arkansas down a little south of yall in Fayetteville, Wright's is a must try barbecue place. Like yall gotta go back for that. Its ridiculously good. My old roommate and I used to go there every Friday. Also btw the drive down i49 south between Fayetteville and the Tunnel is one of my all time favorite drives in like October/November. You get the rolling hills of the Ozarks with all the leaves changing to their fall colors. Its a phenomenal drive. Highly recommend.

[@johnschwindt3049]

I work in Oklahoma and stop at that loves all the time. It's the only stop on the turnpike basically between okc and Tulsa. Weird stretch of road

[@aliceblois1069]

Well done, Victoria. I need that ice tray!!

[@jennieleverett9742]

Mark, my hubby said he cleaned the brass fittings on water supply line and he pulled the screen out from the nozzle to clean

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's what I normally do, but this one doesn't have a screen.

[@lwhite530]

Happy Sunday fun day KYD family! I just came back from AZ. Sedona and Scottsdale/Phx so much fun but not enough time! Hope to visit your Air BnB one day!

[@drkevin3235]

Liberty Prof here! Love your content, so helpful!

[@timallen5086]

Just a reminder April 20, Derby Festival starts ! First thing is the air show , then that night Largest fireworks show in North America! Then the festival last two weeks . And on Sat May 4 the Kentucky Derby! This year is a little special because its the 150 th running of the Derby! Friday before is the Running of the phillies ! Its called the oaks! Plenty of Fun Booze and about a million other things!

[@ejs6010]

On the road and having fun!

[@jeffsteele1295]

Wow i love your videos thanks so much for your time.

[@nathanriggs1125]

You guys look pretty refreshed for the hectic schedule.

[@johnandjackiesjourneys]

John’s from AR. We’ve visited a few times over the last year.

[@scottg5588]

Thanks for the heads up on the CP4 pump! I didn't know what it was so I looked it up. Holy Smokes!
