- Hunkering down and cozy winter RV camping in an unexpected Arizona snowstorm. Living full time in our RV brings on all sorts of challenges. This snowstorm is a perfect time to explain how we face such challenges.
We thought winter RV camping was over for the season, but I guess that's what happens when you let your guard down. Join us today to see the true reality of living in an RV, no matter what conditions we are faced with.

About the headlight flashing after fueling issue... There are a LOT of truck drivers who believe that pickups should NOT be using the high-flow diesel (truck) lanes. While you don't generally have a choice when pulling Soli, there are a LOT of pickup drivers who think that simply because they're pulling a trailer (even an empty garden trailer), they MUST use the truck lanes.
A few months ago, I pulled into a rather busy truck stop for fuel. I'm a company driver, and I don't get to choose my fuel stops. I pulled in behind a "hot shot" with an empty gooseneck trailer; it looked to be about a 20' bed. (I look over at the car island; multiple diesel pumps available, and plenty of room.) He starts fueling, and then starts cleaning his windshield. No problem so far.
Remember, these are high flow pumps. After a few seconds, the nozzle pops. He finishes his windshield, then restarts the fuel. He then uses the window squeegee to start washing THE SIDE OF HIS TRUCK. The nozzle pops again. He washes THE OTHER SIDE. He spends another few minutes futzing with the nozzle, then hangs it up. He washes his hands (in the windshield cleaner bucket), dries them, and pulls forward.
He spent EIGHTEEN MINUTES to pump FIFTEEN GALLONS of fuel. I spend eight minutes pumping 130 gallons. I get into my cab, and wait for him to move. (Someone was behind me, so I couldn't back out.) Nine minutes later, he finally comes back out with a bag of food. I expected him to sit there and eat it, but fortunately, he didn't.
He tied up the fuel lane for 35 minutes.
One of the unwritten rules (courtesy) among professional drivers is you spend a maximum of ten minutes in the "pull forward" area. That's enough time to make a "pit stop" (leave your phone in the vehicle!), grab a bite and some caffeine, and hit the road.
Another is that the window squeegee is ONLY for use on glass.
We are new RV'ers, waiting for our fifth wheel to be delivered next week. Thanks to the Hanks recommendation (Thanks Hanks!), we signed up for TSD Open Roads fuel discount program. The instructions state that we MUST use the commercial truck lanes in order to receive the discount. Can anyone confirm if this is true or are we able to use the car islands? In any case, we plan to be very mindful of commercial drivers and follow the rules of courtesy. :)
Thank you for that info. I pull a 40 ft 5th wheel. I do not wash my truck but I do use the truck fueling areas. I also like to get in and out ! I don’t like being with all the trucks. I know they are working. I never had anyone flashing lights at me. One more thing when truckers are trying to get in a lane and I flash my brights letting them in why don’t they thank people anymore. What happened to curtesy on the roads .
@@sharimcintyre2026 If that is what TSD instructs I'd go by their instructions.
@@sharimcintyre2026 This is true you must use the truck fuel lane for TSD Open Road discounts. To OPs post, he didn't have a problem with the person using the fuel lane for trucks, it was he did ridiculous things holding up the fuel lane. Don't do that, just pull in get your fuel and get out of the way.
I am new to Diesel and RVing, we have a 42’ long 5th wheel so I began using the truck stops. The biggest pain I have found is that you have to walk inside to prepay then when done you have to walk back inside to sign off get your debit card and drivers license back (at some places). It’s a huge pain in the A$$ trying to blend the RVers and commercial guys. I haven’t watched the video yet so maybe it speaks to it. I am going to get some corporate cards, I feel your pain Driver.
Washing his hands in the windshield bucket is absolutely disgusting! What’s up with all the diesel pump handles being covered in fuel and oil, even the typical gas stations diesel pump handles are filthy.
I'll guarentee when yall leave the camper, your cat is gallivanting around with the other area cats. Probably lets them in with his key, puts on the animal channel and has a ball.
I lived in Arizona for 40 years and skied up in the snowbowl for about 25 times now I live in Tennessee and retired love your channel
Hi kids & Dexter 👋 Dropping in to say "hi!" - love the ski & snowboard stash! I giggle about your "reorganizing" - I re-sort depending on what season it is, get rid of anything i have not used for 3-6 months & then play Tetris, fitting everything together... My basement is 2x6, under my sleep platform. I'm solo lady van dweller, camp host for Oregon State Parks & 73 yrs YOUNG! Loving this life after 3 yrs; Sept 5, 2021 is when I began my epic grand adventure in retirement. TTFN! Happy Trails, Ms. CharLee👵, Nicolas🐶 & Angel🚐
Hi Ms. CharLee, Nicolas, and Angel! 👋 Your re-sorting method sounds like an expert-level game of Tetris! We definitely need to take some notes from you on how to make the most out of every inch of space. It’s amazing that you’re living your best life as a camp host in Oregon at 73 years young-truly inspiring! Keep enjoying the grand adventure, and thank you so much for your support in watching our videos ❤️ We couldn't do it with you!
Hi Hank's, we love your channel and all your quirky vibes and silliness. Keep on keeping it on ,yall rock !
Y'all are just THE CUTEST! And those guns....whoa Carl!
Hi guys. Do you know you have me and my wife hooked on the dots cinnamon and sugar pretzels! Love them! Thanks for sharing
They are a new staple in this home on wheels!
I don’t think I’ll ever understand why some RV parks insist on leading you to your site and pointing out the electrical box and water. It’s really the same at every place. And the ones who wait there and watch you back in like they’re evaluating you? Weird.
Enough with the doorbell sound effect. You have a cat and don't understand what that means for someone with a German Shepherd under his desk.
Those beginning snow shots were absolutely gorgeous!
You made reservations😳 oh, Dot’s CINNAMON Pretzel are “Awesome” Thanks HANKS❤😊
Pretty sure it’s just condensation in your dryer vent I have the same problem with mine. I would angle the vent and seal the vent hose to your vent
Great Arizona vacation video taking a break from the road. Thursday is my relax with the Hanks day. Remember to not look directly at the sun even during the eclipse on Monday. Even though you won’t see us next week we will certainly see you in the next video. Thanks Hanks
To the whiny, ignorant truckers: TSD cards can ONLY be used at the big rig pumps...deal with it. It takes a lot less time to fill up a small pick up truck fuel tank than it does to fill up the massive semi truck tanks. RVers are in and out in a much shorter amount of time. Some truck drivers are just jerks and give all truckers a bad name. I had one of these jerks pull in behind me even though there were several empty spots available. Total ignorance.
Curious to know what lift you have on your Denali and if you had to make any modifications to get your 5th wheel level with the lift? We have a '18 Silverado 2500HD with a 5" lift (BDS/Zone) and are looking at upgrading from a TT to a 5th Wheel and want to iron out the setup that is needed to get this to work right. We're considering dropping the lift 1" front and back if its worth it.
Are you still in AZ??? We are in Pine, it would be awesome to meet up with you guys!!! Safe travels!
We are no longer in AZ but hope to visit again soon!
@HEH! It’s been about 2 weeks since we’ve been able to sit down and watch any TV or even TH-cam. Out first to watch is your channel! It’s 7pm on April 7. Watching and Dex is sassin you. We had just sat down and we had our warm beverage…coffee along with donuts, but not Dunkin. What a coincidence that you mentioned you trip to get the same. The Hinks.
We really appreciate you guys! It sounds like a wonderful evening for you both. Thank you for your support 😊 Dexter says hi!
Hey Carl… have you tried furniture sliders for under the storage totes? They are available at Home Depot and Walmart pretty cheap.
Nothing like northern Arizona. Especially in the summer...👍
Great Video as always, love your content and love that little Dexter too 🙏🇺🇸🙏 #Maga
When I’m at the fuel island in my big rig and I can’t move forward and some idiot is blinking there lights you just get out and put your hand up and yell WTF. Lol
Those little sensors are great..... i have them under sinks....watet heaters...wash machines...and near Sump pumps 😊
Howdy Hanks, it's great to see you today.
Hope all is well with you.
I'm looking forward to seeing what adventures you have coming this year.
Stay safe, and have fun.
Thank you so much! Hope you are doing well!
Great video! Love how you guys keep it real! Good job!
That happened to us in Wisconsin, we went to bed not expecting anything , we woke up with snow on the ground, surprise ! We full-time in a class A, we have the slide outs, helps us older folks.
I'm laughing as I live in Wisc all my life. Welcome to our state. Seasons change by the hour in March thru April.
I lived in Flag for 19 years, loved it….and lots of snow of those years. Beautiful town and surroundings.
It really is!
Just came Across your channel iv subscribe your channel looks like fun an hi from the UK ❤
Thank you so much for your wonderful support 😊 We appreciate you!
That’s where I learned to ski in February of 2022!!!
Hanks for another great way to start winding down the work week ;) --- I once heard a guy order a "Large Liquid of life" and at first was curious until the person at the counter said no problem wthout even hesitating! and gave them a large black coffee! I still don't order it with that name myself but I do refer to it that way with co-workers!
Never heard that either! LOL
You should put a small rug down there in stead of scratching stuff or an old towel
Everyone must have a gas pump story, have to share mine because I still remember it. Was at Costco. Car ahead of me at pump but didn't see anyone. Thought maybe they were done and ready to go. Sat, sat, and sat. Line forming behind me. Finally girl got out and started to pump gas, she was on phone. I rolled down window and told her something to the effect she was holding up the line. She told me "I was rude." This is truly the "Me Generation." I just sat there and waited, didn't want to be any more rude.
California what do you expect?😮
Happens everywhere! Ugh. CG retired 2011.
You weren’t rude there etiquette when you’re at the pump you don’t take your sweet time you pump your gas and go nothing else
Very much enjoyed watching you have winter fun! 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
Ok, you two are cool, Dexter is cool, as is Dee.:)
I don’t have an RV, but I really enjoy your vids and seeing what you’re up to!
We really appreciate your support for watching our videos and taking the time to comment! 😃 Thank you!
@@HappilyEverHanks sure.:)
This was a very nice video. You should content that was different and interesting. I like the more serious approach. Good job.
Congratulations on 200K!!!
Thank you very much, Thomas!!
First!! Hi Hanks!!
Hey! Thanks for watching our episode! You are awesome 😎
We've spent a month traveling, starting with the OR coast, then into NV, AZ, and UT looking for warmth. We've had a couple days here & there, but mostly cold, wind, snow, & rain. Doesn't stop us from exploring!
Glad you pulled out the winter fun gear and "explored" the slopes!
Thank you for continuing to share your adventures and your experience.
Yeaaa rawwwwh! It’s Thanks Hanks Thursday….man it is a long time between Thursdays….lol
200K on the edge....so exciting!!
What was the name of the RV park in Flagstaff? Great Video
Flagstaff RV Park
Shouldn’t it be “Hankering Down”?
Heck yes!
Live fulltime in a fifth wheel in nova scotia , know all about winter rving doin it for 4 years now . Love your videoes keep it up
Great video! Love snow. I’m from Indianapolis and this year, we got very little measurable snow. I’m curious about what size truck your GMC is. Is it a 2500 or 3500 Duramax? I have a GD reflection 337RLS and it is similar to your RV in size. I’m slightly over on my pin weight and I don’t have a washer/ dryer in the front etc. I need to clear out some things. Pulling mine with a 2020 Silverado 2500 duramax is no problem, but pin weight is. Thoughts?
Nobody in their right mind drives TOWARD the snow. That's all I got to say about that. You know what's good about skiing and snowboarding? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! It's finally in the 70's here in the Texas Hill Country......I may live.......too soon to call yet.
Head down to Roosevelt lake where it's nice and warm plenty of trails to walk and great places to camp
Love Flagstaff! We usally boondock in the Cinder Hills OHV park. Look at the Mt Lowell Observatory. They have a great night time program.
Hey New to the Channel, binge watching 😃 + I live in Alaska(loved the AK videos) + congrats on 200k subs 🎉🥳. I'll be watching you 👀🙀 😂
How many months ago was this video made. I'm about 70 miles south of you today April 10,2024 and its like 80 and 90 degree weather right now. No snow falling here anywhere .
our open Roads card was skimmed in Quartsite AZ at Loves, I didn't think it was possible but $2300 later... It has been rectified but may be months before we see our money if ever... Just beware
You guys are great But .... Really Go to Florida ! No Snow ! December to April NO SNOW ! 80 and sun burns !
Kyle looking ripped!!!! I see you.
I just bought my first TT and haven’t had a chance to take it out yet because the first and only time I tried, everything went wrong. Main problem was there was apparently a bad water leak and my bathroom flooded. That was just the main problem. I am so discouraged and really regretting this purchase. I have been watching all your videos to try to learn some stuff, which has helped a lot. I am just so overwhelmed and their walk through didn’t tell me anything. Is it normal to feel this way?
hey guys - we watch all your videos & love them. You guys are great. While watching tonite it looks like you have the Thomas Payne seismic theater recliners. If you do, would it be possible to get a measurement from the wall to the front bracket ? We are new RVers - have a Brinkley and want to change out the recliners - can't get the measurement from anyone & want to make sure they'll fit on the slide-out. Thanks for the informative &fun filled videos - stay safe
Love Arizona, do not love the snow. From Kingman I would have been heading southeast to the Phoenix/Tucson area. Currently camping in the Midwest preparing to see the big eclipse and it is going to drop to freezing on at least one day. But, no snow in sight.
Love your channel. Have you all considered Thousand Trails membership to lower your RV campground costs?
Love winter camping. So fun to stay warm inside watching the snow come down.
So, where's the hunkering down during a snowstorm part? Clickbaaaaait.....
We've been to that Dunkin! 😅 My first baby girl lives in Flag and her boyfriend used to make snow at Snowbowl. It was neat to see you guys in familiar places! 😊 Definitely gotta watch those spring storms in the Rockies, we've had sime real doozies!
Just started watching your channel. Great job you two do an outstanding job in your videos. You are living my dreams, we always want to do a lot of traveling, but to health problems are not going to complete our dreams. We are going back and watching all your videos, way to go, keep up the great work. Also my wife is nurse and is wondering if you all are still travel nurses in your travels.
Nice Video. We
love Flagstaff. What RV park did you stay at?
It's called Flagstaff RV Park
@@HappilyEverHanks thanks will have to check it out.
Another great video ya'll................. What happened with the leak in the vent pipe in the Washer/Dryer? Safe travels you guys......................
@happilyeverhanks - Is your GMC Denali 1 ton or 3/4 ton truck? What is your pin weight as well on your GD?
Wonderful! We are about to start RV life now. We thought about domicile in S Dakota but I heard their law has changed? Do you have any info on this please?
@happilyeverhanks we must have passed each other! I left from there right before the storm and went the same direction you came from. The crazy part is we left from Iowa seeking the “better weather”. Haha now we are in Bakersfield and are still using the heater. lol
You should’ve let everybody know came down Arizona that you guys were coming up this way we could’ve all met up and a party or something maybe next time lol are you headed next?
don’t you have to be at well below 25 for solid days before you get frozen pipes? Just wondering as a newbie class b campervan girl… ;)
Great video! Glad yall got to enjoy some fun and downtime!! Happy Camping and Safe Travels! Oh and Hi Dexter!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much!
We were in the area (Seligman AZ) same time! Since we flew in from MN we were blamed for the snow. Family in AZ, so scoping out retirement place 😊. Wanted to get to Flagstaff but got stuck where we were visiting. Next year driving out with our 2500 GMC. At some point looking to camp out there.
Safe travels
Nice! Beautiful area but yes you may have brought the weather lol
Who is this “Renee” of whom you spoke?? Nay Nay is gonna be jealous if she knows you been talking to this “Renee”……😉. 😂 Enjoy you guys!!!!
😆
Did you get a chance to hike through the lava tubes?!?! It’s just a couple min away in Bellemont!
question do you carry snow chains for your tires. tip for the snow carry 2-3 gallos of Clorox in case you get stock in the snow or ice it will melt it quick. i enjoy your channel i am a independent trucker i enjoy the live style
Great tip! We do not carry snow chains
Hope your kidneys are still operable after driving along the what has to be some of the worst stretch of Interstate Highway in the country. I thought I was going to loose my 5th RV on the way through there the end of March last year.
When u backed in I wondered if u had room for slide. For our RV I finally took a measurement on my body with arm outstretched. From right fingertip to my left shoulder is the space we need 😊 mid 🇨🇦 today is 4 C (51 F) yippee!
That's a great technique 😊 Stay warm!
if you ever do an AZ meet we’d love to say hi we’re just a family of 5 weekend warriors but gearing up for a summer of camping in AZ/cali
That sounds like so much fun!
Put on pants and a sweatshirt if your cold!!!
Stop jumping!!😢😢
Please tell us you ran up to the Grand Canyon. It's even more awesome and unbelievably beautiful with snow.
Omg did she really say that Coffee first!! Are you a friend of the worst mom.ever Elisa from Rochester Ny
I was hanging with Dexter while you were at the ski slopes. D and I had a laid-back time.
Great video, enjoy watching you two and Dexter!
Which couch did you guys get? Been looking into a new one. Have a fifth wheel very similar to yours
No pund intended you both remind me of Fred & Ethel from the sitcom I Love Lucy 😁 I can see the Harmony 😁
Have ya’ll had any problem with your flexframe, like some people are reporting?
Why don’t you just get your DEF at the truck stop while filling with diesel?
I’m pretty sure I just watched your rig on good morning America covering the eclipse
How you guys I finally got my camper might be running into you somewhere out there I love your show bless you looks cold
You guys should do a collaboration with CandE Adventures, that would be cool.
I don't know the technical name, but why didn't you install one of those tips pans under your washer?
Wierdo weather here in central IL as well! Sunny and warm to snow in short order! Go someplace warm you guy's, so I can live vicariously through you!!!
We're trying! But we seem to make a lot of wrong turns lol
I'm so glad I found this channel, because the Hanks are just the cutest, most entertaining couple by far. They just spread positivity all round. For me, the RV is the best. I'm still going through the past vlogs, to catch up, but I couldn't help, but stop the binge watching and jumped the gun, for this vlog. Blessings to you both and of course Dexter...From Auckland, New Zealand, safe travels!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment 🤗
We’re you at the KOA in Flaggstaff? Kind of looked familiar.
Hi Hanks, been watching you guys for a couple years, is your truck a short bed and if so what hitch do you tow with ?
TOT- Which editing gear do you use? You're my new addiction to watch!
I know what you mean out of this world. where are you going to go see the eclipse? We are going to go camping up in Vermont.
Do you guys have a video on your clear source water filter install? I thought I recalled one but can’t find it
hey guys, I noticed a lot of RV parks have cable. how does that work?
FANTASTIC VIDEO! I laughed a lot and enjoyed scenery and info! Thanks Hanks!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching 😃
Hopin you are up on your maintenance….like fuel filter and mass air cleaning…super important Hanks!!!
Always!
Laughing at these trailers without slide out toppers allowing rain and snow to leak in guess the MFRs are to cheap and or the owners are..
Great video. Where's your trusty slide measuring stick?
Hay there you guys can keep the snow. I’m in Iowa. We only got cold weather keep warm warm you two tell your cats hi from Bob
Okay, let us know, we can send the snow your way anytime! LOL
