Thanks for addressing this messy problem. Loved the "singing frog" imitation at the end. LOL Here's a clip from the original cartoon. ruclips.net/video/MsROL4Kf8QY/видео.html
My husband and I were binge watching your channel yesterday over margaritas and you inspired me to (FINALLY) defrost our freezer! The deed is officially done as of about 30 minutes ago! Thanks!
Haha, I love hearing that!! So glad you got this pesky task out of the way. Also, love hearing that you're watching our videos while drinking margaritas, that's my style! Let us know if we're ever going to cross paths, we'd love to meet up for a drink or two!
I hadn't really given it much thought until we got home from a 7 week trip. I was amazed at how much frost there was. It was 105° when we got home so I emptied the entire refrigerator and the freezer defrosted in about 10 minutes.
I’ll be checking the comments as well! It’s a chore for sure! At least Carmen got something out of it, Lol! Love the bloopers at the end. Safe journey!
Great video. "Hello my ragtime gal". Brings back memories from just a "few" years back. No good way to stop it from happening, but, the liners seem like the best short term solution. Enjoy the videos. Be safe. Safe travels. Later
Great video and I agree with not using a hair dryer. Too much time and having to hold it the whole time. No thanks. We have had this trailer for about eight months and live in it full-time when we are on property, which is a fair amount. The trailer and the refrigerator have been amazing. The new problem that we just came across and noticed yesterday was that our left lower food drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator was completely full of water. I need to find out what is clogged or why that is happening. If you have experienced this, were you able to find the problem?
Ya.. A hair dryer is NOT gonna damage or melt any fridge parts. Not hot enough like a heat gun.. Either method runs the risk of electrocution or shorting out the circuit with accidental contact with water. The key is the plastic panels becoming warm so the ice lock releases. Then most of it will slide off or can be pulled away. Fast n easy method.. Doesn't exist. Clear winter window seal film works the best since it will seal over a little moisture and a hair dryer will seal it nicely. It's worked perfectly for almost 30 customers.
We use the plastic cutting boards and Velcro them to the back wall and bottom of freezer. Just have to remove them from the freezer and defrosting is done in like 5 minutes. Go vlog through.
Thanks! Yeah, so that's the method I was reading about and then I found that plastic lining and decided to try that. I'm finding that I'm getting frost between the lining and the freezer wall though. Do you get any frost between the cutting board and the freezer wall? Or does it all build up on the outside of the cutting boards?
I get very little build up between the plastic sheets and the wall. However we don't let the frost build up and since taking the sheets out with frost on is so easy. The ice just falls off.
We clean our freezer every 4 to 5 weeks. But we only started doing this after we waited a year to clean it the first time and it take us 2 hours to clean it out. But as I said we put it on our scheduled to do list every 4 to 5 weeks and it is easier.
Hahaha....you guys are so funny! Not my RV freezer, but my kitchen freezer gets thick with ice. I defrost it the same way, hot pots of water (my girlfriend uses her blow dryer when she does it lol ;) It usually takes about an hour or so, to fully de-ice it! That was the funniest blooper EVER - Doggy Pops & a little song n dance routine! Hey, when in doubt, improvise lol! Always my best to you three 👌👍✌🏻😎
lol so glad you enjoyed the blooper! Glad to hear both methods of defrosting work for you two. Might be brave enough now to try the blow dryer. Happy travels!
There's probably a zillion ways to do this job and I've always found that opinions are like noses, everyone has one. 😏 When I was a kid I watched my grandmother do what you did, except she left the hot water in for more like 2 hours. Not saying that's the way to do it, just an observation from the past. BTW, love the bloopers at the end of your vlogs, and enjoyed the spontaneous jig you did there at the end. My wife and I dance (not like that though) so I may have enjoyed that more than most. 😊
Thanks for the journey. I have an unrelated question about your 5th wheel length. How much of the 5th wheel overall length overlaps the truck bed when hitched and is this a typical amount with most 5th wheels?
Hey Mark! That's a great question that we don't know the answer to lol. We have not measured our front cap. I don't think it's a typical amount since each fifth wheel could be designed differently. It would also depend on the length of your truck bed. We have an 8 ft bed so I would think that we have less overhang than some. If you have a regular bed you need to watch how tight your turns are so the front of the fifth wheel doesn't scrape the side of your back window. Sorry we weren't too terribly helpful on this question!
@@GetawayCouple worse!? Me! Fully frozen mini freezer in my half sized apt fridge! You've given me hope to do this asap b4 xmas dinner fun at my friend's home later! I lol'd all the way thru! Can see why margarita couple binged watched ur vids... might have to while I wait for hot water to do it's work on my scary freezer lol!
Big freezer.. Did you have to move your freezer and frig food to a ice chest. My freezer melts down in to frig's water tray that goes to a house out side.
That's true! And I truly forgot what the back of my freezer looked like, so I thought I had those metal rows. But now that I see it's plastic I might try the blow dryer next time.
good luck I think you will prefer that method. Just go slow and don't blast it on high continuously. A little goes a long way. Any water above 32F melts. Thanks for sharing
Getaway Couple we cook most anything in cast iron. To make cleaning and seasoning care easier I suggest the ringer. It’s just a square of ring mail that works well at getting off anything that sticks quickly with a little water. There is a new cast iron for the modern times www.stargazercastiron.com They are just getting started with one pan but I believe more are in the works. As for favorite thing to make is eggs almost every day.
We love our cast iron but it's a bit of a learning curve to get it right. We watched a lot of Cowboy Kent Rollins on RUclips to figure it out. ruclips.net/user/krollins57 Cornbread, eggs, and bacon.... yum!

Haha, thank you! I didn't have any of the lyrics right 😂
I'm so glad that at least the dog gave us an asmr moment,someone who appreciates frost :D
😂 Thanks for watching!

That's a good time for defrosting! I think this freezer would have taken at least overnight, which is hard to do when you fulltime lol.
LOL, I can just imagine Jason's face when you were singing "hello my baby"
hahaha, yeah he had quite an expression 😂
Love that the doggo likes the ice. Such a good helper. 😍😍😍💖💖💖
A refreshing treat!
The flimsy cutting boards works beautifully. Haven’t been able to prevent ice build up so we tackle the job every 6-8 weeks so it doesn’t get too bad.
Good to know! I'm curious how well this plastic cover I put in will work. Might need to switch to the cutting boards.
I’ll be checking the comments as well! It’s a chore for sure! At least Carmen got something out of it, Lol! Love the bloopers at the end. Safe journey!
Funny to watch the dog eat the ice mmmm flavored ice!
Great video. "Hello my ragtime gal". Brings back memories from just a "few" years back. No good way to stop it from happening, but, the liners seem like the best short term solution. Enjoy the videos. Be safe. Safe travels. Later
Thanks! And you've got the right lyrics there, knew I had them wrong! lol
I am defrosting now. lol only been 9 months. watched another video who put press and seal film on the back of the freezer and it worked great!!
So much fun!
We have that much build up and it’s only been 4 month! Thank you for showing this. I’m going to do this this weekend!
You're welcome! Let me know how it goes 👍
Getaway Couple i finally did it a few days ago. Took me about 45 min. Hot water and lots of scraping!
Thanks for great advice. Will do tonight. Love the puppy dog snackin on ice!!! Your song was cute!!!safe travels.
Thank you! You too!

Is that a dehumidifier behind you? If yes, which one is it? We need one!
I would be eating it 🤤🤤
Thank you , we have the same fridge this helped so much !!!
I cannot stand to clean my refrigerator and Freezer, so I hear ya" for putting it off, but, we gotta do, what we gotta do! so good job, great video!
Haha, very true! Just gotta do it. Thanks for your positivity! 😊
I'm still impressed you didn't have any bloopers. My bloopers are usually longer than the video.
Haha, that is normally our MO as well, but I was determined to get this dreaded task done as fast as possible lol.

I sooooo agree!
Just had to fix my icebox after a bad storm got wet in the cabin outside had to bypass the over temp safety switch with a 10amp blade fuse
I would have put the boiling water in that cast iron pan. haha
Lol, now that's thinking!
Thanks for the info. The end was hilarious!
Haha, glad you enjoyed it!
The vinyl cutting boards DO work. XO
IM getting ready to defrost BOTH fridge & freezer. :-(
So funny I love humor and laughing!😆😀
Most likely a bad door seal! Fix the seal and you'll extend the life of the fridge/freezer.
Wow - that was a lot of work. I think I'd get a cooler and ice, put the stuff from the freezer and fridge in it and shut off the refrigerator/freezer!
Hahaha....you guys are so funny!

Getaway Couple ...well, just dont let the blow dryer get wet ok? Btw, those were the correct lyrics to the blooper song 😂 (excellent outro ;)

That's very true about opinions 😂And glad you enjoyed the little jig lol. I normally don't dance like that either, the moment just felt right 😉
All you can do is do - there is no try! Pull the chunks and don't look back.
Bloop! Keep 'em coming!
lol, very sound advice.
I didn’t look it up but I believe the correct line is “hello my ragtime gal”.
That sounds right!

Great vlog and don’t worry I’m sure a lot of people have ice build up :)
lol thanks! I think a lot of people have ice buildup... but I don't think as many people let it get this bad before doing something about it 😂

You have a cute tv presents.thank you for this video. I am now kinda excited to defrost mine (I'm a wierdo) lol .
Aww thanks! 😊

We just moved the freezer food to the fridge while we were defrosting 👍
HA! I love the bloopers!
lol, so glad you enjoyed them!
The hair dryer has always worked for us. Keep in mind that you are not melting that much ice if you do this maybe once a month.
That's true! And I truly forgot what the back of my freezer looked like, so I thought I had those metal rows. But now that I see it's plastic I might try the blow dryer next time.
good luck I think you will prefer that method. Just go slow and don't blast it on high continuously. A little goes a long way. Any water above 32F melts. Thanks for sharing
Rae, you missed your calling at vaudeville! You need to address the icing issue at least every month or so. So much easier to deal with!
No way just eat it 7:04 loool carving out Mt. Everest and she said struggle city lmbo
lol, I'm glad someone enjoys my theatrics! Jason sure doesn't 😂
hey u r here too sis 😂😂😂
Bruhh they can't understand only ice eaters will understand ans the frost is so much I would probably eat it
We do our every month. We just leave our door open for half the day. Work really good
Oh btw I just started living in the rv Oct 2017 and this will be the first time I defrost the frezzer. So no judgement here. Lol 😅😅
Oh my! Thanks for not judging 😉 Enjoy your travels!
Where's the followup on how well your plastic liner solution did?
We took the plastic out much later in this video: ruclips.net/video/EDCfVxMIbBU/видео.html around 25:53 is when we get started. It did really well!
Embrace the cast iron.
Do you have any good recipes?

Cornbread in the cast iron is one of my favorites.
👍 doesn’t take long for build up huh lol
Lol, nope! Even since recording this video and today, there's already more build up 🙄😂
Your ice is nothing compared to mine.
Hahahaha more dancing
Hello my baby, hello my honey
Hello my ragtime, summertime gal 😄
There we go! That sounds better.
lol and then you just did the same thing
Works really well!
I wanna eat it
