FIRST TOW WITH NEW RV TO DENVER, CO (EP 91)
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 07. 2024
- Hooking up a new travel trailer was like being an RV Newbie all over again. Although we’ve towed Ginger 1.0 over 50k miles over the last 20 months, connecting to a new travel trailer for the first time has its own learning curve. Now that we’re just shy of 60 feet in total length, turning takes a little more attention.
In this episode, we leave Centennial RV in Grand Junction, CO and head to Golden, CO. We stayed at Dakota Ridge RV Park, which was okay, but a bit expensive when adding the kids. We did the Coors Brewery Tour and enjoyed meeting the KYD Community during our Denver meet-up and then got a great workout in at the Red Rocks Amphitheater.

So many things to say about this video. 1st: My husband & I got married at the Red Rocks Chapel Sept. 4, 2004. The chapel was sold in 2018 :-( but we'll always have our wonderful wedding day to remember. 2nd: Concerts seen at Red Rocks - Coldplay, Sheryl Crow, Big Head Todd & the Monsters & Seal. 3rd: This is always on the list to see when we have visitors that come to visit us in Colorado. 4th: On the To Do List - Yoga on the Rocks. Thanks Marc & Trish for all you do. We love watching your videos. - Michell
You guys are living my dream! I need my wife to watch more of your videos to convince her to make this happen for us.
Golden, baby, absolutely golden!
Love your "backyard" comment. We are from central CA and there are so many hidden treasures. Ocean, mountains and we have been blown away by what is less than 3 hours from our home. It has really blessed us and given us time to learn and grow and see more of California. Love all your vids and tips.
Really enjoy your videos and the advice you share. Your kids seem to be enjoying the travel very much and the lessons they learn will be invaluable. I really look forward to your Alaska trip because that trip for us is likely to be next year. Safe travels!
Hi guys hope your having ton's of fun I have the same red and black shirt as the wifey perfect performance with her on the uneven bar's I did them in high school loved it.
Another GREAT travel video! You guys are Great! Hope to meet you all some day while on an RV trip 😊
Gotta love the outdoor kitchen!! (Oh and that life changing screen door knob ;) Now that you have a bigger rig, might be time to get those boys another dog eh? LOL
After viewing all your videos last week, getting up to date on your channel, I was like a junkie waiting for one more dose of KYD... Thank you for sharing your dream.
Congratulations again on Grand Ginger! G.G. has a wonderful new family! ❤
Colorado looks stunning and my husband would love to go on that tour at Coors.
Great video! Quality & effects on point.
I think it's very cool that you both share duties driving the rig, nice job.
It is so awesome to see folks enjoy my next of the woods AND still learn new things from them. I've been to Coors several times through the years and still learned more by watching your vid. I thank you. My daydream is to have a smaller coach and had out into the real world someday. But..bills keep me cemented firmly in this waking nightmare. Keep up what you do for those of us who cannot.
Back in 1980 with 3 kids in tow about the ages of your kids we went to a John Denver concert pulling 18 foot Hobie Cat behind a 11 1/2 pick up camper. We had been camping at Chatfield Lake and did not want to leave our newly purchased sailboat at the lake. Can’t believe they let us park there. Now that was Keeping Our Daydream for sure. Always enjoy your videos. ❤️❤️
Wish you all the very best with your new rig and the Coors Tour. Thanks you guys you are our favorite rv tubers.
Now I am almost caught up with current videos. Absolutely amazing
Glad you like CO it’s a beautiful place that I’m lucky to call home. ❤️
You guys are just awesome. !!!
Okay you keep setting your standard higher each video. Awesome video. Love coming here for my weekly dose of Fantastic. Loved the Siberian Huskies. So beautiful
Looks like a really fun tour..
As for the front of your camper they do make a heavy mil clear rock guard that works very well. Great episode.
Looking forward to the next "Meet-up" Thanks for sharing!!
Fantastic video as always. Thanks for the inspiration. I've added CO to my travel bucket list.
We loved the Denver meet-up! We met another family that we are staying in contact with. Thank you!
You Rock. Thank you...Thank ypu. Big love and hugs from Stockholm Sweden in Snow...
Great vlog, If your ever off hwy 50, 30 miles passed the royal gorge, there is an rv resort called Cutty's in Coaldale colorado, it"s in a box canyon. we spend about fifty days a year there. We have about 5 more years left before we retire full time RVers.
So I-70 in the winter with your new trailer and truck combination. A true test of your vehicles!
Thank you for the tour of the Coors plant. We should do it the next time we are in the Denver area in the winter. I liked the tip about going in the winter.
I love your videos,I laugh ,I cry however I enjoy each one....Thank you I'm from Denver and we call Coors Colorado Koolaid!
👍😊Loved every minute of this video it’s been so long since I visited Colorado...Vail, Denver & Golden etc and wow the Augustine’s gymnastics daughter @13:31-13:52 AMAZING! 💞
Had the chance to do the Coor Tour a few years ago. Great fun!
congratulations on your maiden voyage
One of my favorite places! 😍
Sixty feet of trailer and truck combined? Good luck on those corners! Love your video, journey and channel. #KYD
Back in "The Day" I knew every one of those Coors cans, very well.
Love your videos! My wife and I are active duty military but after retirement in the next few years, we're considering the full-time RV life. We currently live in Colorado Springs and this is such a beautiful state with so much to do. It is so cool to watch your adventures. Your Breckenridge video was great, we love visiting Breck... it's such a great little town. Take care and be safe!
Another great video and boy did we have fun meeting you guys when you were here! Love Grand Ginger.
Good to meet you too!
Red Rocks! I went to a concert there while on vacation in the Denver area a couple summers ago. Absolutely amazing (and I didn't even care about the band all that much)! Also while on that vacation, I hit about 9 breweries & a cidery, but not Coors. There's so much to choose from in that area when it comes to breweries. My favorites were Denver Beer Co and Stem Ciders. Thanks for another fun video...it's a favorite part of my Sunday.
This past summer we took our 25' Airstream to Alaska. You mentioned protecting the front of your RV, this is very important with an Airstream. Rock Tamers, tried and tested in Alaska. A couple of tweaks that make them protect even better. Make sure you adjust the length with the trailer hitched up. I found anything less than 4" of ground clearance will just flip rocks back up in the air. Most people set them up to provide more protection favoring the outside. Mine are adjusted 4-6" towards the inside. When on the "roads" of BC, Yukon, and AK, you'll find more rocks get flipped from the inside of the tires towards the front of the trailer. Not the outside. Rotating the arms that hold the flaps 5-10 degrees towards the trailer, puts a little pre-load on them to counter act the wind when towing. If your truck does not have factory mud flaps, invest in Weatherbeater's no-drill flaps for double the protection. Just slow down when on the bad sections of roads, and you'll be fine. If you can plan ahead when you see on coming traffic, get as far to the right as possible, it might just save your windshield. People drive those roads like idiots. Don't cover the front of the trailer with anything like foam, blankets, etc. You'll get so much dirt behind them, it will scratch everything. Good luck, trip of a lifetime. 8200 miles round trip. :)
Me and my wife are heading out Thursday on 1st trip, thanks for the inspiration.
Nice. Take your time!
Congratulations! Y’all have a great time and take it slow and enjoy the journey.
Love the video. We are looking forward to hitting the road soon.
I am going to Colorado for the first time ever next weekend! Can't wait to explore Denver. Thanks for the Colorado inspiration!
¡Love y'alls dynamic together as a family. Your children are the ideal combination of both of you.
Maybe it was just a few parks. Anyway, you do what you have to do. The new rig size may limit you in some places. When we had our 5th wheel we were only 50 ft but that was a problem trying to get into older
Parks . Now our 21 ftTT gives us all the flexibility we need. Of course, we are not fulltiming anymore but have lived in it twice fo4 6 -8 months. Rving is so great. Enjoy !
I'm sad I missed the Denver meet-up! I've lived in Denver for 11 years and I haven't toured the Coors brewery. I'm so adding that to my to-do list.
Awwww I love it!! I’m in a KYD video! 😍 man scout and Ranger LOVED red rocks with you guys! Running with Caleb and Carson was the highlight of their week :) thank you guys so much for spending time with us!
So much fun. Great to meet you. The boys miss Scout & Ranger!
My dogs were named Scout and Ranger and their third buddy was Ernie. What an amazing crew they were. They have been gone a long time and I miss them so much!
great posting as always..love y'all
You guys are a pleasure to watch. We are new to traveling but have great hopes of seeing some sights.
3months and counting... until our full time life begins! Looking forward to your meet ups and getting our videos out there.
I watch a lot of different "RV" channels, your channel is entertaining, well put together, well edited, not cheesy, great variety of content, and just plain fun to watch. Keep up the great work!
Sweet! Thanks :)
Wait! We missed something?!? We just went from Breckinridge to a new Ginger?! What happened?
Love this channel and love you guys!!! We’re getting SO inspired to JUMP!
love all the fun facts!
Make a lil coffee bar in that lil area by the paper towel👍🏻☕☕☕
Marc and Tricia- You all are a total inspiration! I was so lucky to find you on CZcams way back in season one and you have been part of our Sunday night routine ever since. Now my wife and I are planning for our first RV! Like you said "you only get 18 summers with your kids." Question for you Marc - where do you find all of the music for your videos? You always pick such awesome songs that I have never heard of. Maybe Tricia will have a KYD cookbook and you can make KYD season soundtrack CD's? Just a thought! Thank you for all the laughs and great ideas! It's an honor to join you all each week on this journey. Take care!
SO excited for your new rig .. my dream fifth wheel is a grand design ..someday .. we have a sabre right now and can't wait for the day we can go full time .. so wish we could go right now !!!!! Love all your adventures
Come back to Red Rocks for the fireworks show on the fourth (unless fire restrictions prohibit), Easter Sunrise Service (bring warm clothes and blankets), Movies on the Rocks, and maybe a concert or two. You won't regret it. By the way, I've seen athletes (pro?), military and first responders, jump from seat to seat from the bottom to the top for training. Climbers train by running carrying a pack full of weight before climbing season starts. It gets crowded during the summer mornings on weekends. Red Rocks Amphitheater is part of the Denver Park System.
My wife and I just bought a "Grand Design, Imagine" travel trailer. I've done alot of research on what we were going to purchase. Your videos helped out immensely. Thanks for sharing your experiences with all of us noobs.
Great adventure guys! Glad the new rig is treating you well thus far :) Have a good one! - Shane
Great video. Not sure what set this one apart from other videos. Be safe.
Great video, welcome to the GD family!
Our son is a graduate of Mines. Every day after class, they’d head to “Coors Lab”. Basically, they did the short tour, and enjoyed their free beers each day. 😉. Next time you visit Golden, you MUST visit D’deli. BEST meal in Golden...seriously! Safe travels. 👍
We went to Colorado Springs in our RV & it was the first time we traveled that far in it, too! And we went to Red Rock but we didn’t go into the seating area - we went to the Museum & saw John Denver things.
I am new to your channel. As a newly young retired person I find myself watching tons of RVing videos. I am looking to get a trailer of an RV in the near future. Anyway I enjoy your fams videos. They are some of the most informative that I have found. Thanks for making them. Tons of my RVing questions are answered just by watching.
Ahhh the big rig life can be stressful ~ we measure 60 feet tip to tail. Phones come in realllll handy when maneuvering. LOL Stay safe!
Hi Marc and Trish we are looking forward to meeting you guys on Saturday in Austin. Love your New Rig Ginger2
Sweet. See you there.
Great video! Love Denver area!
I haven't been watching you guys much but wow you guys have changed! Can't wait to see you on the east coast!
Hello! I was searching National Parks and I found your channel and of course, I clicked the subscribe button. Now it will take me couple of weeks to watch the whole journey, just finished season 1. I also have 2 teens and would like to know their favorite places so far. This would be a guide for my future road trips. Thanks!
You guys rock 🤘🏻 love your videos
I was to the Coors place back in the 1980's. I went to Denver for work. that place looks like it is 10 times bigger now. I was also to the Bush gardens in the 60's. in Van Nise in the 60. and that is now just plant.
OMG--Sunday can never get here soon enough!! Love you guys!!! We went to the Dallas RV show Saturday and I am sold on my next upgrade, the Solitude 310 now..just waiting for the time to actually upgrade! Keep it up..hope the new reflection is working out well!
Nice rig. Might be our next too (bunk house version). Starts production in April. Sorry we missed you. Huge turn out in Grapevine. Everything bigger in TX :)
Grapevine is a beautiful area, we have hiked over there but never camped. If you ever get a chance check out Gulf waters RV resort in Port A, the location won't beat some of the places you have been but it's a beautiful resort!
I am trying to figure out a TV for it and having a hard time finding SRW for the weight, I wouldn't mind the 350/3500 SRW but it is looking more like the safe option is the DRW. Hopefully we will get to catch up sometimes, hoping to travel more once my wife finishes up her Nurse Practitioner degree in August but in the mean time we enjoy keeping up with your VLOGS.
Was wondering if you guys are having a harder and harder time getting reservations while traveling?
Thanks again and have a great week!!
Shane
I went on the Coors tour when I was in college. We had a wrestling tournament there at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden. They had a two beer limit back then. Some of the guys from the team choose to take a swim in that waterway that comes into the brewery underneath the building!
Oh so many memories. Believe it or not our school use to take us to Coors every year. It was real exciting but we never got to go to the tasting room :-( .
As kids we use to ride our bikes to red rocks and have picnics. I'm sure it much more developed now than it was back then. I' supposed to have a market down there in August, so I'm hoping to take my oldest son with me and show him around. I think he will get a kick out of it. Thanks and happy travels.
Oh ya you missed all the snow up here. Check out the snow in Browning drifts up to the eaves of the houses and all roads closed.
Red Rocks and Golden is a nice area. Some of the best concerts memories ever at Red Rocks.
We just got our Grand Design yesterday. We got a 5th Wheel reflection 337. Can't to wait to start traveling. We love watching your video's to see where to go. Have a great day!!!
Welcome & congrats!
A door lock for the parents room 😉
Ginger Snap! Great video.... again!
My wife and I are planning a trip to Colorado this May. Your video is helpful as we plan our trip.
PS - We look forward to your show all week!
CO born and raised still here, best state in the Nation, hope you get north to Poudre Canyon just beautiful!
Another great vedio. If you ever get back to Golden, go to a concert at Red Rocks. Amazing. I've been to several including John Denver. He was fantastic
Wow nice place lol , I've been through Aspen, but didn't get to stay and see anything else lol.. thx guys
I missed you at the Denver Meet up as I had the flu that week and I didn't want to spread it around. But, I am moving back to Phoenix in 2 weeks and will be there until we retire ( 9 yrs).. Looking forward to seeing you the next time that you are back in Phx. As usual another awesome video - loved it when trish popped the top and immediately missed her mouth. lol Sorry that was mean of me.
The only thing I *don't* like about your vids? Too short! Just as soon as I get sucked into the juicy part...it's over! Waaaaaahhhhhh...give us movie length! And, uh...popcorn. Love y'all. :-)
Hey Marc and Trish! My wife and I have been watching you since July 2017, which your channel was recomended by The Motor Home Experment which we love watching as well. I have commented on here before and got some good feedback. Thank you for that! But an update is we purchased a 2018 Palomino Puma 27ft couples fifth wheel and will be going out this month of March two different weekends close to home just to get the ins and outs of being Newbies! So Thanks for the inspiration and hopefully will cross paths. I see your in Austin Tx this Sat. but Mollie has to work. So maybe next time but would be better out on the open road. We plan on going half time starting next year like 2 months out, then back for two months. that way we can still see our 8 grandbabies through out the year. Well its nice to see you and your family every week and we cant wait to start our adventure thanks to KYD. Have a blessed day and may God keep your family safe.
Mollie and Joseph Hewitt!
UPDATE! UPDATE!
WE'RE COMING TO THE MEET UP! Mollie got her day switched so now she has Saturday off!
Can't wait to meet ya both. See y'all Saturday!
Mollie and Joseph Hewitt
Great vid!
I spotted a "Sailing La Vagabond" fan at :22 seconds. It's funny to see another one of my favorite You Tube channels when watching another favorite. I always read through the comments, and I know I'm not the only La Vag fan here. wink wink
No no no...the outside fridge is not just a secondary fridge. It's called dad's medicine cabinet and usually opens after the kids go to bed! Dad might have something cold at the end of the day, and Trish might be hiding some white zin or a box of good wine in there? 😊
We love the channel! ❤️
Jon and Johnna from MN.
I KNEW you would love Red Rocks!!! Thanks for the meet up, is was so much fun! P.S. The card arrived :)
I tried to comment on the video How to pick the right RV but my computer was feeling lazy so anyways just wanted to say everytime i watch one of your videos it just makes me feel good inside and happy, we RV at the same park every season every weekend just wish we could do more. You guys are doing what i like to do . Keep in mind i love getting to that park and to our RV spot its just so relaxing . But the weekend goes so quick . Love how u think guys keep safe and have fun.
Thanks Stephen! Appreciate the comment.
So do we have to still drink every time we hear command strips?? Lol. 🍷🍻. Great episode as always, you guys are awesome :) 👍.
Of course!
I agree but even the 3M gives up after about a year :-)
Sitting in our sold, empty house waiting to hit the road full time on Tuesday (2/27)for the very first time RVing. ☺️🙏🏼 You were the first RV videos we started watching. Thanks for all your info. Aaaaand were off! 🙃
I hope not I will be dead
Xpel is good for rock chips. People put that on the front of their hoods or on their whole cars. Mostly high end cars or corvettes.
Ah, Denver ... my old stompin' grounds ... I live in Oregon, now after 16 years in Alaska
Super video !
Love Colorado spent three years at fort carson. would probably need an oxygen tank to go there again. LOL When i was watching this the thought hit me i hope your making a list of every place you've been an make three copies so when when your grandkids say to your kids 'where did you grow up' they can pull out the list LOL
Awesome Video ! Can't wait to travel to Colorado! We are taking our 2nd long trip in June to see family in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia in our Keystone TT. My hubby, me, and two pups:) Super Excited😉 Thanks for sharing your fun time. ((Hugs)) Judy
I would love to see that brewery. I don't even drink beer but love liquor.
I'm late to the party but I would recommend you go to a boat cover maker..mom and pop shop in sure they could make a great cover for the front of ginger? Ginger2? ..almost done binge watching. .have a great day. .I'll be in the road one day too
My brother lives out there in Golden. I was looking for him in the tasting room. They don’t have a lot of snow out there either I see.
we are in the process of trying to fix the house to sell it and buy a RV i cant wait you guys are a inspirationthankyou and i love you guys stay safe and be awesome
another great video
Free beer at Coors!
Oh yeah and it stinks to high heaven when they're dumping spent mash!
