There is a reason we call it Crappy Tire around here.

I can't believe it's over already! One thing I've noticed, every time I watch you guys I come away truly feeling very cheered up. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and all of those fabulous good times with us! I will most certainly be hitting the rerun button on this adventure more than once!

That's very nice. We're glad you're part of the journey with us.

You picked the best tire place in canada Kal Tire rocks and they know their stuff when it comes to vehicles

hey guys, i can assure you, as a Canadian, Canadian tire is a great place to get work done. however, the reason why they cant work or touch vehicles outside the garage is for liability reasons and the mechanics only come in around their starting time. Only the managers come in early to set up their day. I was on the road once and had an issue, told them i wasn't from around the parts, they catered to me and squeezed me in so that i could be on my way. But its case by case in whatever area you are in but in general an all round good place and they are everywhere.

Marc, you are so lucky to have such an amazing wife. You are really good at what you do but it is easy to see you have lots of support from Trish, she is such a character. I am sure you both have your "moments/melt downs". I know you have talked about them before where things don't go as planned but you guys reset and move on. I look forward to your weekly uploads, I think your weekly schedule is great as you get to show great content but these other RVers that are doing daily uploads don't have the same quality you guys do. I am a pretty regular viewer and comment often. Have you ever considered taking a week and doing just what the boys want to do? I would watch it.

Thanks Barry. I agree. Daily or content several times per week means I would have to record more daily stuff. I know it's interesting (to some) but really not all that fun to record and edit. I think we'd get burned out faster. We like focusing on the destination and family and inspirational stuff when possible. If I left the recording up to the boys, they'd game all day! We'll see what we can come up with. Harder than it sounds!

I understand, the boys seem pretty outgoing but that computer bubble is all consuming for them. I am not an RVer but I love the adventure and I have hopes of getting a class C and towing an off road rig, eventually to do some trips around Nevada, Arizona and Utah. 2013 & 2014 I went to Burning Man and fell in love with Nevada.

Thanks for stopping in, glad we could help you out, Trish & Marc (Tory, Caleb & Carson too)! 😀 Great video, keep up the fun adventures! Sorry about those gas prices... no one likes that.

On Stopping To Help. 20+ years of RVing in the continental US, five breakdowns (VA, UT, WY, NV, SC) . Not one single person stopped to see if we needed help. No RV'ers, No Good Samaritan, No Law Enforcement and they "all" just pass on by. Our biggest disappointment was in Wyoming where we were down for 4 hours, walked 3 miles on I-80 (12 mi east of Evanston) to get cell reception; thousands of vehicles passed by (including 3 troopers/sheriffs). Only vehicle that stopped was the 2 wreckers that were dispatched. On that occasion, we were truly concerned for our safety, truck engine failure and it was August, extreme heat conditions, no cell reception, and high speed expressway where there was barely room to get out of the traffic lanes. I wrote letters to the State & County about the law enforcement vehicles that came by at 80 mph and kept right on going. Never received any reply. One year later, very similar situation in SC on I-95, broken axle on trailer. traffic didn't slow down or move over for recovery vehicle. Wrecker driver requested SC Trooper assistance, never showed up. No one offered any form of assistance. Sadly, we feel it is a sign of the times.

Good decision leaving Canadian Tire and I'm Canadian too.. I wouldn't let them work on my wheel barrow...

Agreed, as a Canadian, I would only use Canadian Tire as an absolute last resort, Store side is great! But the vehicle service side was/is/always will be the worst for customer service and I question their quality of work as well. They asked me to park my car in their lot for up to five days to put on winter tires and said they will let me know when they can get to it. I said no way. it was the last time ever I stupidly considered using them. Kal Tire served you right all the way. Your videos are always so honest and true to live. Keep up the great work KYD Family!!!

So awesome. I could watch the glass blowing all day. Those guys are really good at it.

Hi Marc, an easy fix to your RV master window flapping in the wind...tie a thick rubber band around the handle. Doesn't impead its use, holds it firmly in the mount, doesn't leave a footprint (just replace the band with a new one if it breaks) and prevents the handle from ever sliding out of the frame. You guys make a great team, really enjoy your videos! Livin' the dream...

Ya... don’t go to Canadian Tire for service... Canadians don’t even go there for service (I’m Canadian). Great place to pick up parts and fluids, or kitchen stuff, like a Walmart ... but don’t count on the mechanics. (There are a couple of really good Canadian Tire service centres, but they are typically in really small towns.. like ~15,000 pop.) You’re better off at a specialty shop like Kal Tire.

Based only only references from Canadian KZreadrs I guess I was 50 50 on whether or not they still sold tires. :-) But its my understanding they sell the same kind of stuff Harbor Freight Sells in the US. Even that it comes from the same over seas Manufacturer.

It appears to be just like Canadian Tire but mostly tools and a few household items but no tires, well they sell trailer and cart size tires on rims. I've bought lots of stuff there I think the largest a small wood lathe. There are a few Buy this don't buy this videos on KZread for HF. I think I've seen the same for Canadian Tire.

Caleb, you make the vlogs very enjoyable❤️ love this kid

Great video as you head back to the Lower 48. We carry 3 orange cones. They come in handy to mark our clearances when slides are out at CB or WMT overnight or to mark our GD Reflection 5er hitch after disconnecting from F-350. Use in parking lots, Harvest Hosts, so we don’t get blocked in. Spray painted (stencil) our initials on them. - Jersey Mike

Lol yeah no Canadian Tire is crap, it's more of a Home/Outdoor Retail shop these days then a Tire/Car Maintenance place. Kaltire is the place to go! They actually started in my town of Vernon BC in the Okanagan, named after Kalamalka Lake :)

So fun watching your adventure! Thanks for sharing!!

So enjoyed this season! You are awesome at creating fantastic videos!

Your editing is excellent. Thanks for the videos. Happy trails!

Glass blowing is so amazing!!! As per usual, great great video!

Yahoo! Great video. Loved the glass blowing.

Excellent insight into the RV Alaska experience! I hope that both of you have/had a safe and pleasant rest of your drive home!

GREAT time in Alaska! Thanks so much for taking us on an incredible journey. Super Job, KYD!

Really enjoyed these Alaskan videos. Thanks for sharing the adventure!

Very well done. A great adventure. Thanks

Hey guys! I love watching you every week!! Keep up the vlogging❤️

The glass blowing was awesome.

Thank you for sharing your journey, as it allows me to see places I may never get to see in person.

Seattle area here with a GD Solitude. First year, amazing trips. AK on our list when we retire! Been there many times by ship and air, but your experiences are so, well, Alaska. Really enjoy your videos!

The glass blowing was amazing. You guys find the greatest things on your adventures. Thanks for another great video.

I have absolutely loved “sharing” the Alaskan adventure with your family. Hope to see it myself one day soon in our travel trailer. Thanks so much for the great videos. Love you guys.

Welcome home....almost!! Thanks for sharing your Alaskan journey!!

This has been so much fun to follow you all. And yes, I am a true believer of making sure RVers take care of each other.

It’s so sad that you are leaving Alaska. Have a safe trip home. What a beautiful experience. Thanks for sharing.😎

I feel like I know Alaska better now; because of KYD. Thank you!

Loved skagway when we took a cruise. Had no idea about the glass blowing. That was really cool. Wow recording flowers, no hope left for you😃

I have thoroughly enjoyed your trip to Alaska, I really hope to get there myself one day. The things you have seen!!!!

Love the glass blowing. I have fallen in love with Alaska through your adventures and it is now on my bucket list of places to visit.

An amazing trip. I have enjoyed it all. Thanks so much. BTW, great idea to stop and see if other RVers need any help. We are all in this together.

Great video, I too have begun taking pictures of flowers. I'd like to think 42 isn't too old to be interested in them. Lol. I appreciate your insight on the areas and the music you select too. You're always on point.

My wife and just bought are first trailer and love watching your videos

Really enjoyed your Alaska trip videos! Safe travels back to Arizona!

Loved the Jewell Gardens when we went there in 2015. Saw celery growing for the first time. Knew they told us about the shape of the beds when viewed from the air so thanks for the drone footage! Love the glass art. Thanks for sharing.

What a video, Marc (and family). Loved the look at the back-side of Skagway: the gardens and the glass were awesome; can't imagine fighting the Main Street crowd of cruise ship crowd. Then, we saw a really good example of "looking after our own (RVers)" when the folks on the side of the road saw your storage door open, then, we got to see how to handle a bad tire and willingness to walk away from rudeness. Y'all are an inspiration. Am glad you're safely on the way "home." Y'all Be Safe!

And welcome back to beautiful BC!

Another great video. I am amazed that you only got one screw in all of that journey. Looking forward to your trip back home.

Always impressed with your videos. I too am sad your leaving Alaska. I've enjoyed all the details you post in your journey. Even this episode, where Trish mentions that the sidewalks are made of 2x6's. I hope that someday we will get to travel up north. Take care and be safe.

Thank you for taking us on an incredible Summer journey! Yes, if I kept my eyes focused in front of me, I never left my driveway, but I have a good imagination! I was with you the whole time and it was beautiful!

It was fun seeing parts of road I know well in this video. I have traveled most of hwy 16 in both directions, and call PG home these days. Hope the drive through our area treated you well. 😊

Always something impressive to see, the wildlife is incredible, the side loading ferry, wow.

My favorite part was the realization you had as your camera kept navigating towards the beautiful flowers LOL. I loved all the flower footage!

I just wanted to thank you for all the travel videos! They are amazing and I feel like part of your family watching them. I know it takes a ton of hard work to make them happen and I’m grateful you make them and do the drone videos and fill me in in where to go and what to do in places. If you ever get back to Monterey let me know my brother runs a sailboat charter biz and we would love to have you come explore Monterey bay!

Trish and Mark those Alaska pics were awesome.

Great video! I got teary eyed when you were leaving Alaska too! Great memories there. All those towns you mentioned brought back awesome memories for me as well. Back in the day before I started taking photos of flowers! 😄 I Just hate to see these video’s end! Do you guys need a maid? LOL!! It looks so fun!

Great video. You are one of 4 full timers that I follow...regularly that is. I do watch a couple others once in while, but two of you went to Alaska and I love how even though you both did the Alaska thing it's been two very different styles. Anyway yeah your videos and those super cool kids too. Caleb has me smiling all the time with his super high energy, wishing I had just a smidgen of that in my older age.

Hey guys, Orange cones Home Depot, we carry 3 in our PU get the ones with the reflective stripe about $15 each. You know I remember way back when, my aunt youse to marvel at the energy we had as kids, now it's me doing the marveling... Enjoy them now, soon they'll be thinking that their folks aren't so smart, only later in life to realize that you were much smarter than they gave you credit for... Super trip! OLT

It seems like only a couple of weeks have passed since you went to alaska. Thanks for all of the great videos.

Hey guys totally cool video. As an RVer I have many plans just dont think we could make the trip to Alaska. This season has been so fulfilling to us as we DO get to share Alaska with you and your family. Thank you for that

Omg Mark talking about the flowers and being an old person was my hi-light!!! Also, loved his son’s perspective on flowers too. Legit and refreshing. Trish you’re the shi. I LOVE you guys. Xoxoxox

We are so inspired by you guys! Hope to see you on the road soon! Tom & Cheri’

That’s how we saw Alaska. On a cruise. Next time will be in our travel trailer. Can’t wait

We have the same window and to stop it opening I drilled a small hole through the arm into the metal below it and put a small nail in (make the hole larger than the nail so that the nail just sits in there and locks the window closed. I actually drilled a series of holes in the arm so I could 'lock' the window in a variety of open positions when we were overnighting somewhere.

Damn Mark, I live about 5 minutes from that crappy tire, and yes the service there is always that way. Glad Kal tire helped you out. Safe travels!

Very good episode Marc. The glassblowing was interesting too. I did not realize there was such a thing as diesel exhaust fluid. That one was new to me. Look forward to the next episode. By the way, you should become a travel producer. Safe driving my friends.

Another great video. Love flowers and blown glass. Also panning for gold. Don’t show anyone your gold lest they come back to steal it! Was given this advice is Barkerville BC

Great show... I feel bad too, that you are leaving. DW (Dear wife) and I were leaving Alaska (back to back cruise) when KYD was getting to Alaska. Great to see it agin and to see Skagway with empty streets, our perspective was the open Disneyland perspective. Thanks guys...

It's been great catching up on your videos when we got back from Alaska! Glad we got to meet Trish "Hello Chris and Angie" in Anchorage at the meet and greet! It was a long trip from MD and back but worth it all!

Wonderful videos of your trip in Alaska enjoy your drive back to Phoenix.

We had the same problem with the window flapping in the wind. My wife just tied the arm to the latch assembly and no more issues. Love your videos and the family.

I started watching you guys this year.. My wife and i travelled to Alaska in our C class motorhome two years ago.. from Ontario, Canada. What a great trip.. Watching your videos brings me back to the memories, streets, highways etc.. making me want to go again.. Thanks for the videos.. They are fantastic... enjoy your travels home..

We quickly learned that AK is one of those places you miss as soon as you leave. Sometimes hard to be there, but nothing like it.

Another great video!!

Wow! Beautiful glasswork! I didn't even get near that amount of show at Murano omon Venice.

So we have been following you guys this past year and I have gone back and watched ALL of your vlogs. My wife and I placed an order for a new Grand Design Solitude this past Saturday and my very first purchase was a new Viair, and a few other essential items. So excited to get out and explore in 2020 and who knows, we may see you on the road...... Steve & Karen, Mesa Az.

What an adventure. Lived in Alaska when I was a kid (60’s) and loved it. You brought it back to me. It was fun watching you guys and “less junk” travel the state. The trip isn’t for light weights as you traveled a lot of miles and it wasn’t cheap that’s for sure. You all are very pro in your presentation of video, and photography. I enjoy your banter as a family. You guys have a great sense of humor and sarcastic wit. Hope your daughter is doing well. Clearly your boys are. You have a better show than most of the realty tv shows on the tube. Season 6 next.

I had a similar thing happen to our master window. Was driving then look back and I see it slamming into the side of the rig. The latch actually had broken. Thank God I brought zip ties!

You have inspired us to take a longer trip and of course we will get new tires before we go. We have never spent days to get anywhere of course we live in TX and we could drive 8 hours and still be in TX. We are going to take a trip to TN from TX in June. Thank you cheering me up and on!

Forget Football and the MLB Playoffs (people may wear their Jersey on Sunday, but I wear my KYD shirt 🤗)... My pre-bday weekend has been made and smile has been put on my face once I was able to watch your journey 😁😍 Goodnight from Huntsville TX y'all!

“Coming of age garden tour” ... haha! I almost spit out my coffee! 😂

Trish!, clean your grill when its hot.....I put water in a squeeze bottle and after cooking, squeeze some water all over the grill and use a towel and spatula you don't mind getting dirty to clean things up. tough residue comes right off. That's how we do it in restaurants. love your channel guys!.

My wife and I love your videos, very motivating. We just bought a 2009 xlr thunderbolt and are leaving Sunday to pick it up. I dont think we will stay in the house again!😁

Kal Tire was excellent for us. This year we travelled 5 months 24,000km/15,000 miles to western north Canada. 3,000km on gravel across the Liard/Mackenzie and up the Dempster to Tuktoyaktuk. We replaced 3 (old original) trailer and one truck flat. Kal Tire was amazing. Our biggest problem is we have 14" rims and can't really mount car/truck tires unless we replace the rims with 15" rims.

Another great video guys. I can’t believe you were in my town, Chilliwack. Sorry about the rude service at Can Tire. Would have loved to of had you all come over for a dinner. If you ever through this way again, pls let me know. Safe travels home.

You guys are great. Look at this family too #World Towning. Super!

“Nine O’ Ten. New early time standard in Skagway!! Haha. We stopped at Skagway on a cruise ship and you are right - wall to wall people. I loved it. I think we took the train up toward Canada which was a nice break from all the humanity.

Wow it seems like You pretty much have some really good systems set up with everything you need, That Viair system, Seems like it comes in really handy for all of your needs I'm going to have to try to get one of those for sure lol.. I really like your setup on your rig it looks like you guys are ready for everything lol..thanks for the video..

We really enjoyed driving the Cassier Highway. For some reason, we did not enjoy BC driving from that point. I understand what you said about leaving Alaska. We totally miss Alaska.

OH MY GOSH😱. Y’all have got to go on a cruise!!! We go twice a year (until our rv adventure starts which will be after our October 2019 cruise…lol!). Y’all would love it. My biggest bucket list item is a Mediterranean Cruise. Also hopefully we will meet y’all sometime in Texas. We live between Huntsville and Bryan/College Station! Ok back to binge watching your Alaska adventure. Happy & safe travels.

We were there the day after 4th of July a few years ago. They said that every street in Skagway was full of campers because there was no room in the campgrounds. We left camper and took ferry down to Juneau for a couple of days..pretty neat.

glad to see you heading back to the lower

It's so good to see Caleb coming out of his shell.

Nice! That spot you stayed at in Vancouver was the same RV park we stayed at last year. Awkward turn to the entrance though

I'm Canadian and Canadian Tire is NOT my go to store unfortunately. We were just up in the NWT, YK, AK and bC ahead of you and went to Kal Tire 3 times for different Trailer/Truck tire fixes and they were very customer oriented. In Whitehorse, you can actually make and blow glass at Lumel Studios. We went once and had so much fun we booked and went a second time!

love the sign above the petrol pump....

Great decision on not giving Caleb sugar - LOL. He is a riot. Great info as always. We love watching your videos.

You’ve probably already passed through Seattle, but there’s a great little glass blowing place in Issaquah, a little town right off I90. Art By Fire. My daughter used to take violin lessons at the music school upstairs so on Saturday’s I’d sit and watch them create things. Loved the episode, and especially enjoyed the Alaska series.

I enjoy your videos so much. I also have enjoyed your trip to Alaska. I have friends that live up there, that invite me to stay with them, but I always put them off. Now I am so impressed I'm looking into it, for summer anyway. It looks like an area that can rival my love of Montana. Although I really liked your Mexico trip too, and much warmer :-) I'm getting old and warmth sounds good these days :-) welcome back to the lower 48.

I always travel with a tire plug kit. But with truck tires, it is a LOT more difficult to clean the hole in your tire and to push the tire plug in. One trick I found that works well is to use a medium wide screw and a cordless driver to help prep the tire hole. Also if you DIY it, you need to take the tire off. This helps with the leverage you'll need to repair the tire..

Excellent point about taking care of your own.. You all have the same basic equipment so you should help each other out. Dang Trish drives fast, that is a good driving woman right there. My mom will not drive the truck loaded with the 5th wheel or even empty, so I hope that nothing happens to my dad as they would be stuck.

Thanks for the ride and looking forward to more vicarious adventures. P.S. Dont forget your fuel filters.

5:28 made laugh so hard I almost fell off my chair! :-)
