Hey Carl (Kyle), You're placing your tire chocks upside down. Great video, thanks for uploading. Just wanted to give out the tip! I placed mine like that once and the smooth side slides easily, especially on asphalt and concrete.
Interesting, Kyle may have been placing them correctly since it was that way, and I said, that is upside down! Lol
@justinneel8722 I was just going say the same thing. Flat side to the tires!!!.
Thanks Hanks...we have most of those items. Phone holders sound great. 👍
Hey Carl (Kyle), thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to place my tire chocks the right way. By the way, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile powerhouse with a massive 5kWh capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof technology. Perfect for outdoor adventures and backup power. Check it out if you're interested!
@@ErvigHenryget outta here, scab. All your comments are trying to sell that Segway product.
The problem with Damp Rid is that you are throwing away that plastic container and replacing it with a new plastic container that you will throw away. Buy some sheer drawstring organza gift bags and fill them with desiccant beads. The beads come in colors and when the beads lose their color it means they can't absorb any more moisture. Just pop them in the microwave or over to dry them out. When they are back to their bright color throw them back in the bags and put them in your closets and cabinets. I've been using them in my MH for 5 years and haven't had to replace them yet. Thanks for the list! Safe Travels✌☮
It is my pleasure to meet you!💕😍🌹
Amazon doesn't list "doohickies", so glad you included direct links. Thanks Hanks!
😂
Thanks for the under $30 video. Very informative and I found me some "I want" items too. Ya'll stay safe
Thanks, you as well!
Thanks Hanks! I never assume I know everything. Never considered insulating the overhead vents. Didn’t even know Camco made an easy to install insulator. You guys are awesome.
Awsome video love the new merch and great rv ideas thanks hanks😊
Love all the gadgets! Thanks Hanks for the video!
Really good information. Thanks Hanks for sharing.
I just bought an RV to do full-time stationery RV life! You guys have been a tremendous resource in the planning process and I cannot move forward without you so thank you for everything! I am 51 years old almost 52 single and a woman
Hi Melissa! This is so wonderful to hear 😊 Keep rocking life to the fullest. Thank you for all your love and support!
That's fantastic to hear that you're planning to do full-time RV life! It's such a fulfilling way to embrace nature and create memories. Based on your needs, I highly recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and versatile sockets, it's perfect for powering your devices and appliances during your adventures. Plus, its waterproof technology ensures it can handle any weather condition. Happy RVing!
Great ideas, thanks. I see Christmas gifts , perfect. Win Win Win
Collapsible laundry baskets are great! We also have a collapsible mop bucket for washing the RV, and in the kitchen, collapsible colander and measuring cups. The sure do save space, and have held up over the years.
Since I'm in a small travel trailer, for a laundry basket, I use one of those black/yellow totes that I store misc. items (bottled water / life jackets). It stays outside and is completely waterproof. As far as a bucket, a Lowes blue bucket is larger, general purpose and can even be used as a stool.
Thanks Hanks, Love the Merry Dexy items the most
That cushion in the vents also help to darken the inside of the RV on those short nights in Canada and Alaska during the summer.
Right on! We bought them a little late
Thank you for these tips.
Not RV'ing yet but have watched quite a few of ya'lls videos which have really helped both my wife and I to get up to speed with some of our questions about living full time in one. Appreciate it and look forward to more!
Thanks, Hanks! I needed that! The cellphone holder is what I have been looking for for sometime. I have one but it falls off. Plus I lose my phone between the seats all too often.
Nicely done! Thanks for sharing. A couple of additions coming our way soon thanks to you guys. Thanks Hanks!
Thank you so much!
I really enjoy your TH-cam channel I watch every Thursday night😂
Great idea to offer RV Christmas gift ideas 🇨🇦 ❤
dollar tree damp rid knock offs are great for the price as well
I love your videos! Informative AND entertaining.
Thank you so much!
thanks for posting.
Thank you for great tips.
Thanks You three are awesome 😂😂😂😂😂
Well, you can't RV successfully without a good collection of gadgets. Thanks Hanks for sharing yours with us! :-)
The Siamese T. shirt is so perfect. This cat breed acts / reacts sooo uniquely.🙀
Isn't amazing the kind of personalities they have? Love this comment!
Thanks for sharing! Hubby and I will definitely be purchasing some of those items.
Well done, guys.
Great information thanks.
Ok, it has to be said.....Love Love Love the Dexter Santa shirt. The best 😂
❤❤ Yeah Hanks awesome.
Thanks Hanks! We just bought the remote holder and it’s PERFECT!
Oh we are so glad to hear this! That dreaded remotes get stuck so easily in the couches 😅 Thank you for your support in watching our videos! We appreciate ya'll
Howdy Hanks, it's great to see you today. 😊
Hey hey hey!
I found myself clicking on your videos off and on so while you were in Alaska I decided it was time to just subscribe. Don't know why it took me so long really, you both are fun to watch. Thanks.
Thanks so much 🤗
Awesome video
Ahhhhh... What a cute Dex shirt!! ❣
Good info. Thanks.... Hanks.
Loved these awesome suggestions available from Amazon. Good for home use as well as RV'S. Great video! 👍 😊
Thank you for reaching out and saying these kind things 🙂 We appreciate you!
I believe I recognize the RV park you are in, are you in Bend filming this one? If so I LOVE those very long and wide pull through sites!!! Thanks for this video, it got me thinking of a couple gift ideas :).
Nice one 🙂 Thank you for all your support! We appreciate your tuning in on Thursdays to watch ❤️
Thank you so very much for this information and I love watching you guys ❤❤
Thank you very much, Cheryl!! Your support in watching our videos is amazing 😊
We usually skip right over videos that have ratings in their titles, but you two make everything interesting. AND, you don't whine, like so many other TH-camrs do! Best reason to look forward to Thursdays! Thanks
Thank you for all your love and support! It means so much to us that you take the time out of your day to watch every Thursday. Truly, thank you ❤️
Thank y’all😊 for the awesome videos
Thanks for watching!
Just ordered two of the phone holders! Great recommendation!
For the last one (Valterra external sewer valve), I added a stainless steel hose clamp over the connection after twisting it on. It will keep the valve from moving around when you connect/disconnect your sewer hose, and also keep the valve from falling off while driving. The hose goes behind the gate, where it twists on, and tighten it over the bayonet tabs after they lock in place.
Is the idea of the hose clamp to just get in the way, block it so you cant twist it off? (Because i cant see it actually tighted the thick plastic of the valterra).
Great tip! I'll look into this more 🙂
Good idea.
Yes, I keep the valve on all the time, so the hose clamp is great. It keeps it from falling off while driving, and it holds it i place from accidentally disconnecting the valve when you're just trying to remove your sewer hose. However if you didn't want to keep the valve on all the time, you would not want the hose clamp because it would be quite annoying to have to put it on and take it off every time you're hooking up.@@SpykersB
We just bought our 1st camper.......ever, and finding all these videos and suggestions really helpful, thank you.
Congrats on your new rig!
Thanks for educating us.
Thank you, Jon! Your support means so much!
Good stuff!! Thank you! Just placed a giant amazon order for our RV!! 🎉
Thank you for all your love and support! We hope you got some goodies! It's always nice to treat yourself 😊
Been busy, have a couple to catch up on. Busy gutting 2 of our bathrooms, total gut jobs and remodel. Just wanted to say have a wonderful and happy thanksgiving !!!!!!!!
Nice video guys! One of my personal favorites are quick disconnects for the water lines/filter/regulator. Setup takes less than a minute!
Yup me too, lol, 25ft hose, 50ft hose, fresh water adapter, garden hose spray adapter, outside water filter, water hose saver, n water gauge stays connected to water hose splitter with a quick connect, all have quick connects on them 😂. 🍻
You and me both!! Aren't they so convenient!? I totally forgot to mention those puppies
Happy Thanksgiving y'all
Love this….
Very helpful video! Thanks a lot. I found your Amazon store and that was helpful too. Buy a new travel trailer and preparing to outfit it for a trip from Chicago to Cedar city Utah. My shakedown cruise. Have watched many of your videos and enjoy them.
Picked up a tire repair kit (thanks for reminding me) as a result of this video!
Pretty great recommendations,now to make our list
Thank you, Diana!
Thanks for the tips, we switch from Digest-it to Liquifly, the bottles costs about the same, but you use half as much of Liquifly, so Liquifly is have the price. Both work about the same!
Good to know, thanks!
Nice list ... that external valvewill make the hubby happy ....
Definitely a favorite and so so easy to install 😊 Thank you for your amazing support, Michelle!
The Valterra external sewer valve works great if you have two gray tank drain lines on the same outlet. My gray tanks are 35 gallon each, one is the kitchen sink, and the other is for the bathroom sink and shower. By closing the Valterra valve and opening the two gray tank valves, I now have one 70 gallon gray tank and can stay onsite for longer without having to dump my tanks, The bathroom tank normally fills up at least twice as fast as the kitchen tank. All the valves are closed when she moves though!
Just saw this reply. I also have a 5th wheel with two tanks and tried this. The issue I ran into is the tanks sit at different levels so kitchen fills up. Seems like it will back up before bathroom fills up. Have had an issue with this?
Yah 😊 found you video. Lost my TH-cam access, cause got my cellphone taken with the motorhome and 2 of my fur babies. But you have always been my favorite watched videos cause they always make me laugh. I love the silliness 😅
Hi Anna! Thank you for your incredible support and for watching our videos. It means so much ❤️ Much love from the Hanks family
I like having an extra connection to spray off your whatnot! 😂
🤣 Oh my terminology when I am trying to explain something is out of this world LOL
I think if my fifth wheel hitch is falling out of my truck, I've got MAJOR concerns over just a brake cable LOL
Great video, I think we've already got like 80% of that list! I'm grabbing those shower corner rods!
Shower rods are my personal fav --Ney Ney
Really enjoy your videos. Great information and entertainment. I am curious about traveling ER nurses and how you get jobs. If you did a video on that, it would be great. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your great support! We have the video just for you... th-cam.com/video/X8g-pXy3Noo/w-d-xo.html
I just ordered the tire repair kit and the shower tension rod thing. Awesome. Thanks.
i use the water pockets that came with my camper. I imagine they work a lot better, something to consider. Theyre kind of like shoe pockets but for the shower.
@@Baka_Oppai Mine didn’t come with those.
Outstanding video thank you for sharing stay safe see you soon see you soon
Thank you for your kindness and support 😊
Damp rids are a must in RV especially when they use partial board finishes also keeps ugly smells from punching you in the face
Those ugly smells sure creep up quickly too! Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks!
Thanks from the Hanks for the super thanks! #LetErRip!
~Kyle, Renee, and Dexter
Thanks Hanks!
Thank you for all your support and watching our videos! We appreciate you
We have the temperature/humidity sensor. I epoxied a couple of magnets to the back and stuck it on the refrigerator since counter space is an issue. Attaching a magnet to one of the sensors allows it to stay sheltered and attached to the pin box in camp for an outside reading.
Hey Kevin, thank you for sharing this! Great idea with the epoxy. It's always nice to keep those countertops clean and mess free
Thank you for using our products and for the shout-out!
Ya'll make a wonderful product!
Can't beat a good ol' fashioned amazon affiliate video 🤙
#ThanksHanks: Dexy is so cute, for a fur baby and he has the most beautiful blue eyes.
😻 He does have those baby blue eyes that we love so much!!
I have made many Gadgets things for my RV using a 3D printer, like the spice holder you show, i made them on my 3D printer. There a website that show many great ideas for RV that you can download the file and make for Pennies with this 3D printer. I've saved hundreds of dollars this way.
That’s awesome!
Love Dexter!!!! My wife has a merchandise idea for you. "Dexter Salty" T-shirts. Get a sassy picture of Dex on a T-shirt for when you have an attitude. Love you guys and your channel. Very helpful for RVers.
Love that idea!
DampRid: next time you're in Canada, go to the Dollarama. You can get them for FOUR dollars. That's Canadian, so current conversion, it's less than three bucks American.
I will have you know that I have never flattened any yellow wheel chocks!! Our were red. 😅
Hahahahaha! "I couldn't see him in his underwear, and i tried!" 🤣
Thanks guys for this list! We had a few of these items, but some of the other stuff will help us a LOT. We are full time RVers for the past year, and we are finally getting to the point that we know exactly what we need to have with us and what can be delegated to the 1976 motorhome project we have or our shed on our lakeview property. Or thrown out!! How do you guys make these tough decisions about what you needed to keep and what you needed to throw away when you guys started? I am specifically looking for input from Renee about clothes, shoes and jewelry, and hubby would like some input from Kyle, I think, regarding the guy-type gadgets and tools. Thank you guys again, we never miss a video and watch it as soon as I get my email saying it's been posted.
Thank you so much for reaching out! It definitely is a challenge. We still struggle with this living on the road full time..can you believe that?! It's amazing how much we get attached to clothes, belongings, etc. I (Kyle) look in my closet and if I haven't worn a specific thing in the past few months, I IMMEDIATELY put it into a paper bag and take it to donation. Out of sight, out of mind :)
Kits and DIY instructions are available to convert your StarLink to 12 volt. I’m stationary and off grid so I am excited to run my StarLink on the more efficient and less power hungry 12 volt side.
You should get heat tape for your water pipes. That’s what mobile home owners use so their pipes don’t freeze. They plug into electric outlet on one end. you just wrap them around the pipes and it warms them just enough. You can get generic damp rod at the $1.25 tree. It’s just as good.
Thank you for sharing this, Valerie! We have heard some good things about the heat tape. We appreciate you!
In cold weather open the roof vents about 1” and this will vent moisture outside.
You have the wheel chocks upside down. The large serrations go on the ground to bite into the ground. TP
It's funny you say that, because Renee tells me this ALL the time 😄 I will get it one day! Thanks for sharing
And those yellow chocks have an expiration date. Who knew?
😯
OK guys... I want to know all about the trip back to the Lower 48. sometimes the return trips can be just exciting as to outbound.
We are picking that back up very soon 😃 Thank you for all your support!
What do you do with your ceramic plates on travel days?
Have you broken plates on travel days?
A lot of great accessories. I have some of them. I must get the privacy window film. We have the same type of window. I can't put a curtain over it because it is too close to the stove and it is not really shaped for a metal shade. I have threaten to put aluminum foil over it, but then my wife called me a "Tin Foil Hatter" and said it would look like we were trying to avoid paranormal beings that employ ESP. So, privacy window film it is. Thanks for the tips.
🤣
The black rubber choks are at walmart too. I bought the exact same ones for $5
Oh dang, I dropped the ball on that one 😅 Thank you for sharing!
I use the iphone 12 mini, so screen is small, so i bought the rubber band that wraps your phone n then clips on a lanyard that is length adjustable, use it when driving and using google maps (my 770 garmin isn’t reliable for directions 🤬) so phone is smack at my chest easy to see for us old blind folks, n a place to carry phone when walking the dog if have no pockets. 🍻
Love it! You got creative with it, way to go :)
We need a hat in the merch store!
just wanted to say i was in the grocery store and saw a new soda. hanks Carmel apple and pumpkin spice.
Yum!
Hello guys!!
Hey!
Almost all the items can be purchased at Temu for a fraction of the cost! Lol but great ideas
What brand/type gps do y'all use? Thank you! We have learned a lot from your videos!
Thank you so much for your awesome support! We use Google Maps and RV Life App on the iPhone. We don't technically have a specific Garmin or anything like that
According to the pictures I've looked at he's got the tire blocks right.
Best Rv accessory is a bidet thank me later many under $30 Amazon get right or left handled based on availability of space
A bidet in an RV! Now that's something you don't see very often. Great to know!
I still prefer the yellow chalks. They are a better width for the 5th wheel tires and those little black ones just dont cut it. They look like they go to a little kids toy car😅. Everyone should just use the ones they like though. Great video Team Hanks! Especially Dex.
as a fulltimer i have to disagree the black ones held up great. The yellow ones didnt last very long for me, my camper climbed them and crushed them
Those yellow ones did work okay for our travel trailer with smaller tires, it was our fifth wheel that crushed the yellow ones
nicely done, I am curious are ya'll using actual ceramic plates or a heavy duty plastic type? could Rid-X be used for the black tank as well? works wonders on septic systems .
Corelle is the way to go!
J is right,about the chocks, grips go on ground
Renee reminds me of this all the time! I will eventually get it right 😅 Thanks for watching!
Thanks Hanks! 🤪 I love youre fun videos! One question! But first, thanks for all the cool Christmas present ideas for "Millie," our lil RV.
So, regarding that twist-on sewer dump valve, for me, ... Do we take it off and clean it before we depart the campsite, and then install it as part of our set up when we arrive at the next campsite?
Cheers, Eric
We just leave ours on 24/7, no need to remove and clean unless you feel like it every so often.
@HappilyEverHanks thank you! I was worries that it might come off. I guess it doesn't stick out too far.
Cheers, Eric
Hi Kyle, I hope you Ney Ney and Dex are doing well. You once showed a real cool tool holder that rolled. Where did you get it?
Money saving tip those dehumidifiers can be found at the $ store for, guess what, was a $ now $1.25 but still a big savings
This is really good to know! Thank ya'll for sharing...we need to step our game up here! 😄
