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.

[@40redfox40]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@momg49]

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

[@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!

[@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!!!

[@danjones0212]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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 :-)

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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 💗 ♥ 💓

[@ZachThorp]

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

[@herveyforward5956]

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

[@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!

[@amypletcher4411]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@rhondalyn100]

Always great to see your little sweetie, Tori!

[@bsb1191]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. 🐕♥️💜❤️🐶🌸

[@drinkinslim]

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

[@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!

[@jimc.6127]

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

[@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!

[@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! 😁

[@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.

[@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.

[@lastlaplogistics8512]

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

[@AchFam]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@sherriitsamea3476]

I am completely in love with Charlie 😍😍😍

[@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.❤👍

[@actioncfc]

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

[@dallaswillard2611]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@rickwatson7800]

Born again puppy! Charlie Rocks!!!

[@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 🙏🏻❤️🤙🏻

[@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 :-)

[@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.

[@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

[@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😉🤫

[@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?

[@cassidyarent5939]

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

[@sparkleandspurs]

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

[@vetteb96c]

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

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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....

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 😉

[@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

[@ryandwyer50]

No way! We were just at Sun n Fun this past weekend and didn’t see you. We also went to that same Petsmart Thursday afternoon off of 41 near Hooters.

[@ryandwyer50]

We were on site Q26. I see you were at 752. Like the only road I didn’t drive down lol.

[@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

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@katepowell1051]

I never want these videos to end!!!

[@pamc.3718]

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

[@nonegeo]

Sarasota also has a great Farmers Market every Saturday morning on Main Street.

[@tims4558]

Hi, I am new to your channel. I just have to say that you guys do a great job with your videos. Great editing! Thank you for providing the content. Enjoy your travels!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Welcome!!

[@Tawnieandwayne]

Great video! we grew up in Sarasota Turtle beach has always been our favorite :)

[@TheBuellerBunch]

Charlie looked so much more comfortable. He is a puppy again! Are the paddle boards hard to start out on? Figure I would be in the water more than on top of it.

[@noconz0727]

Happy Sunday Fam!

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Looks like a nice destination. Those paddle boards are impressive.

[@bradleyfankhauser2785]

How do you all like the Blackstone grill? I see Lowe's has the one in your video. Great size for camping. I also see other ones with 2 dials with a lid. Decisions! Decisions!

[@kylepifer9509]

Just a little further south of Nokomis is the best town in Sarasota county VENICE!!🎉🎉🥳. But those places you mentioned are pretty sweet too. Selby,st Armand circle,, siesta,myaka state park !! I’ve just seen the advertisement for polo the last time I was on 75.

[@gracemclaughlin6662]

Your right in my area I’m in Venice this whole area is great

[@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.

[@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).

[@charlieanderson9601]

The park with the canopy walk is Myakka River State Park, my favorite for camping, especially of I can get in the Palmetto Ridge area with full hookup.
