    Hey Carl, I noticed that you connected the emergency break away cable to your fifth wheel hitch. That location is not legal because if your hitch actually breaks from your truck, the cable will not trigger the brakes. It actually has to be attached to a separate location from your hitch. (20 year owner of a trucking company) just trying to keep you safe. Love you guys!

    The tank replacement may not have been "light & entertaining" but your presentations are ! In my 40+ years of RV-n (not full time) I've learned to just do most every repair & maintenance myself. Even when the shop's do repairs I ended up doing them over. As you said early into this video, "they don't care". Stuff just happens & ya gotta figure it out. Laundry; I lost that job when my wife saw me separate it into 2 loads; white & all others, use just 2 small machines (cheaper) for 2 weeks of laundry + towels! The coup de grâce; if one cup of soap is good, 2 is real good, right !

    I just got a job at a trucking company and overheard them saying that one of their drivers drove 80 miles and then the trailer came loose in the middle of the road. They said it was because he high hitched the trailer and did not visually look at the hitch to confirm it was 100% latched. Thank you for talking about this. You definitely need to do a pull test but you also need to visually look also.

    Getting set for a winter experience is like, learning how to tie your shoes or learning how to pedal a bike all over again, when you figure that situation out you're much more prepared for it in the future. And nobody else is going to care for your stuff more than you would ever care for it. Definitely not for the week. This type of Lifestyle will make you tough, patient, loving and caring. Do you ever think of pulling out the EKG and just zapping everybodys back to life to kick start their heart in order to get your gray tank fixed faster? Going to break my brain.

    I understood exactly what you were feeling as you left the campground. There are friends out on the road and the times together are few and far between. My friends from RCRV came and visited me three weeks ago for a barbecue at my new house in Lima. Even though it was the first time we met in person, it felt like we've been friends for years and you do genuinely miss them when they leave.
    The great thing is we tend to make many friends all over world and they tend to be friends for life.

    I'm so happy you guys got it fixed!! I was waiting all week to find out! 😄 My husband and I felt last weeks video, and can relate to this so much! We were staying in a tent for 3 weeks while they had our home on wheels, just to have nothing fixed. They had it that whole time looking for part numbers before they even submitted the claim for the warranty work. I was upfront about the fact that we lived in it, and when we started applying some pressure the person who was handling our rig acted like they didn't know. Then he was out for a few days and the other workers couldn't give us any information. He was super nice when we came to get it, but now we have to take it back and hope they can get it done in a day, which he said they would. It's been 2 weeks and we still haven't heard about the parts. It's frustrating for sure, but the whole system is broken.

    I am happy you finally got your tank fixed. I don't agree with you saying people won't but an RV after watching what you have gone through. We just bought a new truck and a new travel trailer. We have been called "newbies" a couple of times already. I have been watching your videos and your adventures inspired and help me make the decisions on the type of truck to buy and the trailer we will enjoy using. "Thanks Hanks" for your down to earth information and helpful guidance.

    I am SO glad you guys posted this video!! We're relatively new at camping. We have a 2022 Tiffin Allegro Class A coach 36'. We've taken it out about 5 times now and already had it back to the dealer for some repairs. Now we're leaving for FOUR weeks and one of our slides is stuck in. Won't open. I complain that the rig is BRAND NEW! And we really did feel like it was only us who had a black cloud following us. I don't wish it on you, but thank God it happens to you too!! You guys rock! PEACE!!

I haven't needed professional help with it yet, but knowing the hiccups is of great value. Let me add that you are both adorable together. About to watch your 55 & over (ooops, 55 & under, lol).

    Oh thank you both for “reaffirming“ ,along with several other couples.saving me from The mistake, purchasing any grand design models . I am cured I’ve never seen so many needed repairs on every channel (featuring grand design products). each repair comes with something else damaged ,only to be found out days ,weeks or months later, grand design is just all about the money and they couldn’t possibly service what they’ve already sold and there obviously is a quality control problem.

    • @HappilyEverHanks
      @HappilyEverHanks  Год назад

      We don’t run into problems with Grand Design itself. They have been amazing with helping us out with any issues even before our RUclips channel started. Both GD rigs we owned had little issues compared to people we know with other brands 👍

    I just tip my hat to both of you 🧢 👍🏻Keeping your calm is tough to do when things just aren’t going smoothly. The RV life can sometimes give you ulcers especially when you must rely on someone else’s schedule hoping things are being done correctly and on time! As I write this comment, we are dealing with our a/c fan motor that bit the dust a few weeks ago and trying to get a replacement. Out of stock situation is driving us crazy, as well as no a/c on 100+ degree days. Finally located one in Illinois but will take another 5 days to get to our location. Definitely learning some patience and long suffering here!! We have admired how the two of you keep a positive attitude and energy while dealing with difficulties and have taken inspiration from both of you while we are sizzling here during these high heat days. As always, stay safe and keep the RV reality coming!
