You mentioned things that I wouldn’t have thought about so, #thankshanks 😉
Helpful hint: I worked in the Hotel business for years. Always look for an extended stay type hotel. (Staybridge, Residence Inn, etc..) They have kitchenettes so you can cook in the room. Both offer a breakfast buffet and a managers reception in the evening (pretty much a dinner and may only be a few days of the week) which are included in the price. Check the going rate before you go in and then ask for the sales manager or the manager and explain what is going on, the longer you stay the cheaper the rate and they will negotiate. Then ask again if that is the best they can do. This also goes for regular type hotels. If you are staying more than 30 days in most cases the taxes you paid are given back to you, cause it is considered by most states at that point a monthly rental, like an apartment.
That is really good to know, thank you Robert!!
Great info right there!
Good news on my husband, No Cancer! Yes Amen thank you. 😊
Praying for you 2 and Dexter to get through this rough spot. Love yall.
Oh my goodness!! We are SOOOOO happy to hear this 🤗❤️ Thank you for letting us know Donna!! Much love to you both, thank you for all your support!!

Thank you so much Deborah!! You are so kind ❤️❤️🤗 Much love from the Hanks family to you!
It's like a happy shipwreck 😆. You gotta keep moving forward in life even though your world has drastically changed. Putting out useful information from real experience is always helpful 👌, thanks.
Thank you Jim!! We really appreciate this 😊 We hope that you have a wonderful upcoming weekend. Talk to you again soon friend 🙂👋🏼
HA!! #marriedlife Goes both ways, dontcha know? Very thoughtfully created video. Thanks, Hanks!!
Thank you so much!! We really appreciate your kindness and support 🤗
You make my Thursday. Hope you're back on the road soon
Thank you so much Jeff! You make our night reading these awesome comments 😁👋🏼
It always amuses me when the “cell phone” generation uses the “old fashioned landline” hand gesture for a phone…..great video btw……
Hey that's how we remember phones as well! Thanks for watching!
#thankshanks Thursdays are great!! My wife and I love you guys...you have helped us get ready for this new adventure and life we are heading on.
#marriedlife
YES!! We are so glad you guys enjoy Chuck!! Much love to you guys as well 😊 You guys make our day reading these comments! Keep them coming!!
Good video tonight! Not that I enjoy seeing people going through this type of event, but be mindful that your partner is an asset and another shoulder to help support y’all. Keep those spirits high: I know this must be trying. Just remember there are 46k people who need you to “keep it real!”
Thank you so much Donald! ❤️
You guys are so calm and happy, 😘
I'll bet you have no finger nails left..
Stay safe, God bless.
LOL thank you Lonny! Best to you!
LOVE U GUYS! SUCH GOOD INFO!!

Yay! It's Thursday, Time for another great video from TheHanks! #ThankHanks! Hope #Stinkybutt is doing well in the hotel!
LOL!!! This is so awesome Scott!! 😻 Thank you friend!!
Hope Dexter is doing well with this displacement! Our cats Natalie and Elliot think he's not getting enough screen time. Keep Hanking on!
Dexter definitely needs more screen time.
Aww thank you Don! We will get Dex man out of his shell more! Give Natalie and Elliot our love 😻
Definitely more Dexter! ❤️❤️
I use the “blanket/towel that smells like me”trick whenever I take one of my pets to the vet and they have to stay overnight…. It helps with anxiety!
OMG!!!! Dexter under the covers on the bed!!! LOL LOL Such a cat thing!
Lol 😹 Yes!!! Leave it to Dexter to bring the cat vibes haha!!
Thank you for watching Kristen!! We hope to talk again soon 🙂👋🏼
We love our Thursday visits with the Hanks 🥰❤😊❤
By the way mom and dad Hanks, Dexter is kitty camping and not hiding under the covers. Just cuz it's kitty cool... 🥰😻🥰😻
#marriedlife Carl 🌞
Loves and hugs to all til next week X❤O❤X❤O
You are so right, Cathie! That is probably what he does! We need an imagination like he does! Thanks the love and support!
I just love how positive you guys are.
Thanks Hanks!!
Love Thanks Hanks Thursday. ❤
Appreciate your update. Thanks.
Thank you Kenneth!
Fantastic! Thanks so much for all of the helpful info! You guys are the absolute best channel to watch! #ThanksHanks 👍🥰
WOW!! Thank you Maureen!!! 🤗 You are so kind, you definitely just made our day reading this!! Much love to you from the Hanks family ❤️
I am loving watching you guys so much! I feel like I know you already! My husband and I are moving into a 5th wheel (same one y'all have!) In August and will be full time thereafter, so keep the great info coming!
Love your attitude during this all. I'm sure off camera there's a good amount of stress. Thanks for all these tips.
We learned that stress is bad for our bodies so we try not to stress! Thanks for the love and support 😃
Ever since you mentioned it, I've been fixated on that lump on the bed. Patiently waiting for that cat to move! 😄 move kitty move! Mooooove.....!!!
He was "incognito" 👀😹 At least he thought he was! Thank you for your awesome support Brian!! Best to you
Don't forget to contact your insurance company about getting reimbursed for your home away from home (wherever that may be; hotel, air b&b, etc.). Many, if not most, policies include this reimbursement program for when you are without the use of your RV. Love you guys! You always make me smile;)
That is very true, thank you for sharing Jean! We appreciate your great support 😃
I love your positivity!! And truly appreciate all of the tips. While we hope to never have an issue, it's good to prepare!
Thank you so much Kellie!
Great job as usual love it
Thank you so much Paul!! We really appreciate you watching and commenting 😃
Great options! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching, Chuck!

Thanks Hanks! Love you two, been watching for over a year now. Great insight and experience. Appreciate you two! Btw I’m 66 yr old retired RN. Been camping my whole life( dad was a huge outdoorsman) and I’ve been towing alone since 2010. Gotta get to the great outdoors. Keep it going I’m with ya!🤣😎🖐️
Great video thanks for all the new advice I’m new to RVing

Awww thank you guys ❤️ This is so sweet of you to say 🤗 You guys are such an inspiration, stay safe out there and much love from the Hanks family!!
Hey guys. Glad you’re in good spirits. Love the Thursday videos.
Thank you so much for your kindness! Your support means so much to us!! 😀
#ThanksHanks for another great video and for keeping your viewers up to date as to what’s going on with your repairs. There was really good advice here that can also be used in general planning of trips! Dexter, you’re the cutest bed lump I’ve ever seen!! See you next Thursday. ❤️❤️🐾
Dexter's knows it! LOL Thank you Lori! We are excited about our future content!
You are both awesome!! Thank you for ALL the info! This is our biggest fear but with knowledge comes power and you’ve armed us with so much knowledge. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
Awww this is so wonderful to hear!! Thank you so much for this great feedback and your amazing support 🤗 Much love to you from the Hanks family!!
You two are just amazing 🤩
Thanks Again Hanks 🤗
Thank you so much James!! This is so AWESOME of you to say 😎What's new on your side of the world??
Thanks Hanks - great tips - have saved
Thank you so much Jean!! We really appreciate your awesome support 😃
Man... you guys talk like a couple of RNs with the documentation of conversations! 😉
Fair enough! If you don't write it down in the chart, it didn't happen. (Retired RPh and RN here)
Good points on tracking your calls and emails, that which is tracked gets done! I like Robert R’s comment on extended stay, we have had to use Marriott extended stays in the past when relocating and having the small kitchen and sink has saved us $$ and frustration while waiting for our home to be ready. Always a good and useful time watching y’all!
Thank you Warren! We figured this would be a good topic to talk about. It’s great hearing other people’s points of views with their own stories and situations as well. Love being able to learn from one another 😃
Yes! Those Marriott extended stays seem like a great option! We hope you are doing well friend, it’s great catching up with you. Renee says hi by the way as well 🙂👋🏼
Great information. Glad you have a wonderful service center.
Thank you so much Carol!! We appreciate your awesome support 😊 We hope to talk to you again soon, have a nice weekend ❤️
Great Video Hanks! My rig is currently in for insurance service and I am doing exactly the things you are talking about in this video - very timely!
Thank you so much Mike! We hope that you have quick repairs and success with dealing with insurance 😊 We hope that we can hear from you again soon!! Stay safe
Hey guys cool vid. Happy to see you guys are hanginin well, cant wait to see you back in and nice shots of the new roof.
Hey know what i like most of the vids, nice shots! Bunch of your videos have cool pics/shots/shorts of cool stuff; whether its wildlife/drone shorts/landscapes etc.. the filming is great and makes in interesting!
Keep it real and catch ya later
Thank you Kyle!! We can’t wait to be back and sharing it all 😊🙌🏼 We really appreciate this feedback and are so happy you enjoy! Thank you for watching friend, have a great rest of your weekend. We will catch ya on the next one 😁👋🏼
Can’t wait to see the repaired RV. Thanks Hanks
Thank you so much Tim!! We can't wait to share!! Have a great weekend! 😊
My wife & I have been watching your videos for the last few months now & now look forward to the new video every Thursday...😎
We have camped for the last 9 years in our Ice Castle Fish House in summer & winter as well...we have had 4 different ones in that time,...ranging from a 21' to our current 28'.
We have ordered our first 5th wheel to have at our seasonal campground spot throughout the summer & hopefully get out for a few trips to other destinations.
Hope you are back in your RV very soon.
Thank you for taking the time to make all your videos...It is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for all the love and support on our channel! We are so glad you enjoy our content! More to come! 😃
#thankshanks - you guys are on it! Wow, lots of information! I love yr lumpy bed-give Dex a big squeeze from me! Here’s hoping that yr on schedule and things are going smoothly so that you will be back out on the open road real soon!
Awww thank you Terri!! You are too kind 🤗 Dexter sends his love back at you!! 😻 We look forward to this, stay safe!! Much love from the Hanks family!
Have to say we just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and have been binge watching ever since! Love your content, keep it up!
Thank you so much Joel and welcome! Are you living the RV life as well?
Not yet but close! We plan to move into our RV by early November. We are going to head north up to mid Michigan for a couple of weeks to spend Thanksgiving with family and then start south for the Carolinas. Super excited to get on the road! 😁
Love your videos. I have been following you two every time you post. We are selling our home and moving in to an apartment with the idea of purchasing an RV to be mobile. Your videos have been very helpful in planning and researching what RV we purchase. We are presently 68 years old so we probably will not be full time RVers. But, again we love your adventures and your enthusiasm. I doubt that we would even meet up with you two but it would be great if we were near where you when we finally go on our travels. I hope your 5th wheel Solitude is put back together better than it was. Please take care of your selves. And, GOD bless you both.
Thank you so much for reaching out and leaving a great comment! You guys will have such a blast exploring the country! We appreciate your support and glad our content is helpful! ❤️
Thanks Hanks, for Thursdays
Thank you so much Donald!! We really appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us 😃 Best to you!!

I just love watching your shenanigans. You two are funny, informative, goofy and all while you are displaced. Great video.
Thank you so much Karen!
@@HappilyEverHanks I just saw a FB post where someone is thinking of going FT but have no one idea where to start. I told them to look you up and watch your videos. They will certainly get informed and in a fun way. Keep it up Hanks and hopefully will meet you both one of these days.
Thanks Hanks !
Thank you so much Sandy!! 😊 We really appreciate your support!!
Always enjoy your videos very helpful for newbies and realistic no bs #thankshanks
Thank you so much Tim!
Lots of good tips in this video. I always travel with my black throw for the bed. It really helps my dogs as they know this is where we're sleeping. Stay safe x
Love this Sue!! That’s a great idea 😊😊 Thank you for sharing ❤️ Hope you have a great week!!!
Great video! Y’all put out some great content. How to deal with repairs is something I definitely knew nothing about. #thankshanks

Thanks Rodney! Hope it all goes smoothly for you!
Love the lump under the covers on the bed! #marriedlife is def full of times when you pull together and get thru it. You both are doing such a great job of keeping the train on the tracks! Love y'all! Dave and Lorrie
My cat does that “lump under the bed=I’m hidden” thing too, 😂
As long as he's under there no one can get him lol Thank you so much for the love and support Dave and Lorrie!
Ahhhh! The lovely feeling of being water boarded when they wash the dishes with the camera in the sink lol. Love the content. I’m learning good stuff 👍
LOL thank you Jonathan!

#ThanksHanks
Renée and Kyle and Dexter - one of my favorite families! ❤ Thursdays are awesome because of you guys.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Well I hope your right with the 3 weeks good tips on the program I like how grand design is sending video footage of your repairs
Thank you very much Theresa!! We really appreciate your support and kindness 🤗
Thanks Hanks.
Thank you so much Terry!! 😃 Keep these wonderful comments coming!!
You made the right decision getting your rv repaired. We would not be surprised if things get a little more drawn out due to the current climate of parts shortage and labor. Look forward to a positive outcome. Hang in there. TKC
Thank you! We really feel the same way as well! Fingers crossed that it will not be drawn out though! We will keep you updated 🙂 Talk to you guys again soon!
My husband and I are planning to go full time. It is a little crazy because we don’t even have a rig yet.
We are going to pay off our vehicle first.
But I love you guys so much! You have already helped us so much. Keep doing what you are doing! We hope to see you down the road
Great advice about off season repairs. I’m I Ohio and got some items fixed about 3 weeks ago. Was able to go in (with an appointment) wait for about 6 hours they fixed the Rv and I was on my way. Tried to get them fixed in June and they had no openings. Headed to Gatlinburg Monday November 1 ready to sit around a good campfire.
Yes, the best treatment for anything! That is great! Glad it was only 6 hours! Thanks for watching and being a great supporter 😃
Tons of info, glad you're able to get your RV fixed though, will be nice to see it back in the videos:)
Thank you Steven! We appreciate this friend 😊🙌🏼 We can’t wait for this as well!!
Me again…🥰
So glad you guys are nearing the end of this ordeal. HHopefully a tree will never fall on my RV, but love the tip of staying in a cabin at an RV park… That would make getting repairs done a whole lot more doable. You could plan around that! ❤️❤️
Awww thank you so much 🤗 It’s always so wonderful to hear from you!! We are glad
to hear that this is valuable content ❤️ much love to you from the Hanks family!!
Well I know how your feeling, We have 19 Imagine 2600rb. We purchaced a 2020 Solitude 380fl in April. We had the Solitude parked at our storage unit and they were trying to move a car beside the trailer and damage the side. This was the first week of Sept. They just got the parts couple weeks ago and it won't go into the body shop until Nov 20th and we be there for 2 weeks.Thankfully we didn't sell the Imagine so we could still camp. Heading to Florida Nov 8 from Canada. Wish the 5th wheel was finished but will be taking the Imagine...
The stress of it all. No matter how much you plan you still have the unexpected. We feel your pain. Lucky you still have your Imagine.
Goodness, so sorry that you guys are going through this. Like you said, we are so happy you also have the Imagine to continue camping in!! Keep us updated on how the repairs go, thank you for all your wonderful support 🙂👋🏼
What great content AND freakin' awesome vid work...my favorite part was when you were on the billboard...soooo cool 😎 #thankshanks....#marriedlife...you guys are still rockin' it even without a RV. Glad to hear you'll be coming south in January. We'll be in Navarre...we're in Tampa now. Sending love & hugs🤗😎 Safe travels🌴💙💚🌄🏖
Thanks Lisa! We need that warm weather sooner! We are so pumped to be down in Tampa this winter! Enjoy the sunshine!
#ThanksHanks. You are so right on the ball is in your court 🏀. Going thru similar situation with our GD 260 RD 5th. Had to call the factory practically every day to get them involved with slide repair. Those lovely Schwintecs. Lol. Grand Design is great. Parts are being shipped from them not Lippert today to our dealer. 🤗. We are not full timers but scheduled to be in Florida December 1st. I think we will make it. 🙏. If We were full timing I don’t think I could smile as much as you guys do. Great watching your vids. Very helpful and entertaining. Good information. We take notes.👍. Hope your repair goes smoothly.
Thank you so much Rusty!! We are rooting for you guys, hope that you can also find quick recovery and repairs in your unit! Much love to you guys from the Hanks family ❤️ Your support means everything to us!! Have a great weekend 🤗
I wish I had know you were going to be in the ND area. I had extra tickets to last weekends game and would have given them to you! Good luck with your repairs. Love watching your videos - keep the positive attitude and fun videos rolling.
Awww Nina you are too awesome!! Thank you for watching 😊😊 We really appreciate your support!! We hope to talk to you again soon
Great ☺️ info Hank's ... I just had a city water inlet install (new to me Navion ) didn't have one but showed one was install on the build sheet . La Mesa RV in San Diego sent out a mobile tech and it was fabulous . Love 💓 thanks
That is so great! Those mobile techs are fantastic! Thanks for watching and sharing!
We had to stay at an Extended Stay before we got the RV. The best part was getting breakfast EVERY MORNING 😂 Can't wait to see ya'll back in the rig, but enjoy this time (complete with all the amenities) ❤
YES!!! The continental breakfasts are the best! 😁🙌🏼 Love that you guys made the most of it! Thank you so much ❤️❤️ Hope you guys are doing well, much love from the Hanks family!!
Thanks Hanks! Very practical info. Sure hope you are closer to moving back “home”. (not sure quotation marks should be used, I mean cripes- it IS your actual home). I just hope they fix everything right the first time (AND dump your black and gray tanks too! ) (and maybe a nice mint chocolate candy on your pillows for your incredible patience)! Can’t wait to see you back on the road!
Thank you so much Jim!! We are so happy to hear that this was valuable content 😊 It definitely is our home! No more stick and bricks for us hehe!
I like the way you think!! You sound like such a great guy, we definitely can go for a chocolate candy on the pillows 🙂 Best to you friend, have a great weekend
What a great video that checks off the boxes on being separated from your rig! Its not always peaches and cream when your thrown into finding your way through the maze. I’m sure this will be welcome help to those who have never had this experience before. Just reminding yourself that there is going to be a light at the end of the dark tunnel can be overwhelming! We know these things all so well when we were displaced from our rig three years ago. Keep walking us through your own experiences with your repair process on your fifth wheel, I’m certain that documenting your journey will certainly be helpful to others that find themselves in a like kind experience! Take Care and keep the good times coming lol ....,
THANK YOU TIM!! You are so wonderful 😊 It definitely can be an overwhelming process, but we are getting through it. It's hard, sometimes you feel so along when things go bad...but that's just life right?
What's your weekend looking life this weekend? Any big upcoming plans or things going on in your neck of the woods?? 😃
@@HappilyEverHanks We are heading back into California to visit family and friends. Spent some time in Vegas, but the weather was too hot for us. Time to find cooler weather and do some stream fly fishing since some heavy rain has a lot of the rivers and streams full of water. So glad to hear your rig will only be three weeks in the shop, am sure you guys are feeling out of place going from place to place. We can empathize with your displacement, we’ve been there and done that!
Keep your spirits up, try to find things to do nearby where your staying. Treat this time as you would while your traveling and look for something interesting in the nearby areas.
Best Wishes, our hope is that this down time will pass by as soon as possible. Take Care.
