Hi y'all. I just wanted to know that discovering your videos is probably the next best thing that happened after we bought our tiny (16 ft!) RV. This has been a really tough year us, cancer-be-damned, and your smiles and jokes helped us get through it. Thank you for sharing the love.
I hope you're still loving your 16-footer. We have had a 16-foot bunkhouse for about 3 years. I am thinking that about 4 more feet and possibly a slide might be perfect for us. We are a recently retired couple who want to switch from weekenders to part-timers.
Thanks for discussing pet's and how they could be caught by the slides and possibly badly hurt/or killed when closing the slide. This is a critical subject that isn't discussed for some reason. Our kitty Onions is always secured in the truck when working the slide.
FYI Smokey the Bear was in New Mexico! He was a baby bear who was found burned and orphaned after a forest fire, he was rescued, brought back to good health and became an icon in the 1950's to alert campers to the dangers of unattended fires.
Hello Kyle and Renee! I just wanted to tell you guys THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all the info you share in your videos. I’m a travel echo tech, and I just bought my first travel trailer to travel around the country in! I got a 2022 Grand Design ImagineXLS 21BHE, perfect for me solo with my pups. Your videos helped me so much learning the things I need to buy and just taking the stress of the unknown off my shoulders. Thank you again, truly. I appreciate you both!! Also, a funny side note. My moms name is Teresa, she is a paramedic at St. Elizabeth’s in Red Bluff, CA and used to work with your dad Kyle! Small world lol
Hey Katie!! THANK YOU! It's so great to hear from you 😃 Congrats on the new Grand Design, you must be so excited! WOW, what a small world indeed. I think you mom used to baby sit me when I was super young. I'm not 100% sure though. Be sure to tell your mom my dad says hello and we also say hello!! Much love from the Hanks ❤️ See ya out here
This video is perfectly timed! TN is top of our list for finding a home base and we hope to be heading there to explore the state. You guys are quickly becoming one of my favorite RUclips channels. I better go sign up for this newsletter...it better be good or I'm asking for my money back! You hear me? BETTER. BE. GOOD.
I l9ve the fact that ya'll are in the Smoky Mountains. My wife and I love it up there and we go every chance we get. It is beautiful and relaxing and so much to do that doesn't cost anything but some time.there are trails to hike, Cades Cove to drive through and waterfalls to see. Enjoy relax and have a good time.
That grade you went up I think was I-26 called the Saluda Grade. It’s really “fun” coming back down. This is where the diesel exhaust brake is worth it’s weight in gold. Y’all stay safe!
Yep, the world famous Saluda Grade. Lots of wrecks happen going down that hill, especially large trucks and semi’s! I live just a few miles from there and we travel I-26 quite frequently.
Hey there goes Nay Nay handling that RV like a champ in those mountains. Kyle /Carl gave great advice on the downhill towing, let the Jake brake do most of the work and you just pat the brake when you notice you gain to much speed. Congratulations on 5 years full time RVing. I have been checking for RV camping areas near or in Pigeon Forge and Now I know #THANKSHANKS. Safe travels.
Proud of NayNay for driving in the mountains. As a truck driver my only suggestion is, when going down hill put the transmission in a lower gear so it'll help the exhaust brake to slow your rig down and save your brakes. You should only have to tap your brakes occasionally. My wife and me are planning on selling our house and going full time next year when I retire. Hopefully we'll see y'all out there. Thanks Lavon
Happy 5 years of full time RVing!!! Im a new subscriber, but i have been watching you guys non stop for the last 2 weeks. My Fiancé and i just bought our first RV and are so excited to hit the road and see American. Hopefully one day we will be able to go to a Hanks rally, and meet all the awesome people in this community!!! #ThanksHanks!!!
First time we drove up that mountain with an rv we had an older 1/2 truck and it maxed out at 35MPH…so y’all are doing great!! We just laugh now that we have a good 3/4 truck and 5th wheel Reflection it’s a whole new world for us on travel days!
Happy 5 years of full time rv life.. We are a couple of hours from there The Smokey Mountains are beautiful and relaxing. There are alot of things to do there and yes it is geared to tourists. Hope yall enjoyed your stay take care and safe travels.
Don't worry about the flat land worried about flat tires! I quote from Dexter. Dexter says the mom keep the thing in the middle of the road don't fall off the edge. He's already getting his first statement in as a back seat driver.. hey has Dexter learned his hail Marys yet! He may need them in the mountains. LOL excellent video! And Dexter says mom you did a nice job driving
I always appreciate the fact that you read my comment and put the heart beside it. But my cat believes that Dexter does it! Should I break her heart and tell her you do it or shall I just let you be in the background lol. I really appreciate you guys and take good care of yourself and your feline family
You guys crack me up. I sit here and just laugh at your antics. Perfect video of Karl being twirled in the air…. 🤣🤣🤣 Love it!!! Safe Travels. And I must have missed you getting your tank fixed, glad it finally happened.
Absolutely love your guys channel! My wife and I are doing the rv life as well and have been full time for 3 years! We love it and wouldn’t change as thing! We hope to see you guys out somewhere sometime! Keep it up!
The last time we were there was June 2021 and even with covid it was packed, we had a great time. Make sure you spend time in the national park that is our favorite thing to do in that area.
Ney Ney, Sunday mornings in Pigeon Forge you’ll see a mass exit heading towards the interstate. That’s why your camp ground wasn’t full when you arrived. I hope you had a fabulous time. Love you and Carl’s antics. If I could I’d be out there traveling and seeing America in an RV.
I was the one shouting "Yeah, NayNay" for the record, but then I parked too close so she couldn't get out to go shopping. That way I supported both of you.
I live in the mountains close to Gatlinburg, actually closer to Cherokee NC. I've camped all over these mountains of NC and east Tennessee. You guys back safe and I enjoy watching your videos.
Wow Nae went there, a "cat-astrophe" what a pun while delivering some all important pet tips during preflight close out procedures! Seriously though, Tanks Hanks for another great video in one of the most beautiful places East of the Rockies and West of The Florida Keys! Be safe guys and please pet Dexter for me!
Love watching you guys. We have stayed at Creekside 2 times and really like the campgrounds. It is very convenient to all the attractions. And the people are always friendly.
Great job going up that mountain NeyNey!! I did it in a car and it scared the crap out of me!!! I just love Dexters little meow!! Will have to look up the campground! #ThanksHanks! ❤️❤️❤️
I just wanted to drop a note and say how much I appreciate and enjoy your videos. The production value is great. You both are very entertaining and knowledgeable. I have been full time since December 2021. Your videos helped give me a lot of confidence. About to head to Washington from Indiana. I hope to see you on the road soon! Keep up the great work! Never change!
Funny part, when you said to go restock on items not used and tossed. I was like Nooooooo. Then Carl said we said no and made me do a double take. Can you see and hear us? It's ok if so, I dont bring phone into private times so we good. Love you guys, we never miss a Thursday. We even go back and watch from beginning from time to time when nothing on tv. Stay safe.
I started watching your channel because we were thinking about getting into an RV and you guys randomly came up. The RV purchase is on hold for a bit, but I really look forward to your videos every week. The B-Roll footage in this one was fantastic! Thanks Hanks for another great glimpse into your lives this week. Stay safe, stay blessed.
Hey hey Hanks another great video. Thank you. Here in the mountains and desert of El Paso people really love y'all. Not only is there Hanks Plaza but also Hanks High School. ~ Kevin and Pat
You guys crack me up. I love it. Are you sure when you drove things didn’t fall. I was dying laughing. Pigeon Forge is awesome. Thanks for sharing friends.
7yrs ago went on my honeymoon in a Cabin right behind the Island there....love this place...lol I'm 56 now and didn't know my license was expired they wouldn't serve me a mixed drink....like I looked under age
I sooo look forward to your videos every week; not only do I always learn something but you guys are so honest and funny. Keep up the great work guys. The other crew I watch is Long Long Honeymoon. Started watching them a long time ago but they seem to post less now. But they’re like an older version of you youngsters. Anyway, May the road greet your wheels tenderly and the winds always be favorable! God bless.
We stayed at Douglass tail water because of this video. What a great place, the views are amazing! We even saw eagles from our back door! Thanks for sharing!!
I wish I had known you were here so I could have taken y'all out to dinner and maybe give you some tips on good hiking trails and other things. 😁Have a good time!
Been to the area 2times. Can’t wait to haul the camper down there I been trying to decide what camp ground to go to would love to stay for 2-3 weeks been watching you guys great content you have.
That looks like a B E A utiful area. I start my week long camping trip soon and look forward to exploring new destinations in the Midwest. Hope you all safe travels and maybe our paths will cross someday! Keep up the content and look forward to seeing your next video.
Congrats on 5 years!!! We are also hitting the 5 year mark of snowbirding in AZ in a class C motorhome. Watching you crazy kids traveling all over is making me want to travel more in the summer. We live in a RV resort all summer(in a park model though). If you ever want to hit up Minnesota in the summer or fall it's a great place to be!!!
#Thanks Hanks: The Blue Ridge Mountains sure are beautiful, happy trails. I'm very excited to hopefully work as a work camper for the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg KOA in 2026, if not sooner for the summer season and enjoy the off-season spending time touring the blue Ridge mountains, the Smokies and the Ozarks. Including maybe dropping into Branson Missouri in the off season. Welcome to Pigeon Forge where the roads are narrow and so is the parking, have fun.😀😀
Love this! That is so cool to hear about your upcoming work camper experience in 2026. This is such a great place to visit and has a ton of things to do. We appreciate your time and and for always being such a great supporter with the comments 😊 - Kyle and Renee
Hi Nice views. Great camp sites. Food for thought . When you are going down big hill its great you use your engines breaks but in stead of hit your breaks you can drop a gear and your engine will rev up higher and your engine breaks will come on more. I do it all the time in my truck. Go from 13 to 12 or 11 depending how heavy I am. Like you say let your truck work not your breaks. Next year hopefully we will be there see Dollywood. Take Care and safe travels Dana and Laurie
Hi guys, Hope you had time to explore the mountains! Cades Cove is one of my favorite places. Glad you had a good time in Tennessee. It's my favorite state. Lol. 🥰Lynn and Danny
Great video My wife and I have been full timers for 50 yrs of marriage😍😍😍😍😍love RUclips vids like yours we live in Oregon if ever coming My son lives in Brentwood tn
THE SUSPENSE!! Did they get to shut the door or not? What did Carl and NayNay do last time? Will Dexter give them the secret???? Must wait until next week??? Dang! 💕
Hi there you guys!! Always love a Karl and Ney Ney vid with the 'sexy dexy' LOL! Ney handles that rig like a champ! And we love the Tennessee area, never been to Pigeon Forge but we must go visit there! Safe travels!
I couldn't agree more! The tailwater campground is one of if not my favorite campground near pigeon forge. Absolutely amazing rates for the amenities and arguably the cheapest stay in the smokies. The only downside is that it's roughly 40 minutes from the national park itself, but if you're only going to make a handful of trips to the park, it's not a bad distance. I've got other amazing campgrounds closer to the park for when I plan on going there every day. However, I WILL say that I'm not the biggest fan of the Douglas Lake campground. We'll leave it at that...

Hang in there. Your neighbors are us. Share my friend. We are a village.
She is just killing it driving. Up the hills down the hills and all in sandles.
Thanks for discussing pet's and how they could be caught by the slides and possibly badly hurt/or killed when closing the slide. This is a critical subject that isn't discussed for some reason. Our kitty Onions is always secured in the truck when working the slide.
Hey y'all are making me want to start rv living. Camping has always been my favorite thing to do. Thanks for your show and keep up the great job!
As a kid my Dad would drive us straight through from Northern California to Pigen Forge to visit our family. Love that town.
Thank you for always making me smile!
Aww thank you for your amazing support :)
FYI Smokey the Bear was in New Mexico! He was a baby bear who was found burned and orphaned after a forest fire, he was rescued, brought back to good health and became an icon in the 1950's to alert campers to the dangers of unattended fires.

Welcome to our channel! Thanks for joining the Hanks 🤗
Our family was just in Sevierville last week. The Smokies are just so beautiful.
Best part of traveling with your camper is you always have your “rest area” with you.
So true!

Hello, Hanks family🌺. Always enjoy your videos. 😀👏

Safe travels!
Tennessee is God’s country, welcome!
Blairsville, GA is an awesome place, Notley Lake is there and is so Beautiful!
Hey Brian! We love Blairsville!! Such a great place 😊
We have stayed at Creek Side several times. They are good about letting you in early if the campsite is already vacant.
Will be going thru TN next year. Gonna have to stay at that park. Thx Hanks!!
Wait a minute…cats freeks out in cars‼️😂‼️👏 this lil cat is a real trooper‼️👍😅🌟👏👏👏♥️💕
Congrats on 5 years!!! We are also hitting the 5 year mark of snowbirding in AZ in a class C motorhome. Watching you crazy kids traveling all over is making me want to travel more in the summer.

Hello Hank's,.😊
Hi Charlie!! :)
Way to go Nay-Nay! Nothing hotter than a woman who shares the driving! I miss that. Have a Great Rally and Congrats on 5 years!
We stayed at Douglas Tail water and we enjoyed it by the dam. Very quiet & staff was helpful.
Getting close to the 100k mark I see. Y’all are doing great!! 🙌🏻
#Thanks Hanks: The Blue Ridge Mountains sure are beautiful, happy trails. I'm very excited to hopefully work as a work camper for the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg KOA in 2026, if not sooner for the summer season and enjoy the off-season spending time touring the blue Ridge mountains, the Smokies and the Ozarks. Including maybe dropping into Branson Missouri in the off season. Welcome to Pigeon Forge where the roads are narrow and so is the parking, have fun.😀😀
Love this! That is so cool to hear about your upcoming work camper experience in 2026. This is such a great place to visit and has a ton of things to do. We appreciate your time and and for always being such a great supporter with the comments 😊 - Kyle and Renee
Hi Nice views. Great camp sites. Food for thought . When you are going down big hill its great you use your engines breaks but in stead of hit your breaks you can drop a gear and your engine will rev up higher and your engine breaks will come on more. I do it all the time in my truck. Go from 13 to 12 or 11 depending how heavy I am. Like you say let your truck work not your breaks. Next year hopefully we will be there see Dollywood. Take Care and safe travels Dana and Laurie
Thanks for sharing!
Hi guys, Hope you had time to explore the mountains! Cades Cove is one of my favorite places. Glad you had a good time in Tennessee. It's my favorite state. Lol. 🥰Lynn and Danny
How anyone checkels in early every time is beyond me. I'm happy to be checking in before midnight.
Can you guys please start telling us how much each camp ground cost its great to know what different ones cost
Great idea! Thanks for sharing 😃
Yes please!
Great video

Hi there you guys!! Always love a Karl and Ney Ney vid with the 'sexy dexy' LOL! Ney handles that rig like a champ! And we love the Tennessee area, never been to Pigeon Forge but we must go visit there! Safe travels!
The Upper Headwater of the dam is great too (and it doesn’t flood)
Hit the tow/haul button along with the exhaust brake as well!
Tow haul for sure!
I couldn't agree more! The tailwater campground is one of if not my favorite campground near pigeon forge. Absolutely amazing rates for the amenities and arguably the cheapest stay in the smokies. The only downside is that it's roughly 40 minutes from the national park itself, but if you're only going to make a handful of trips to the park, it's not a bad distance. I've got other amazing campgrounds closer to the park for when I plan on going there every day. However, I WILL say that I'm not the biggest fan of the Douglas Lake campground. We'll leave it at that...
