LOL! Yes 😂😂 this is fantastic

This was the first video someone actually talked about that!! Lol I’m literally watching all kinds of videos as I’m downsizing all my stuff 😳🤣 loving this process, so freeing!!
This is so great to hear :) Thank you for watching!! Love your comments 🧡
Good suggestions. I add a couple drops of bleach even in my 6 gal water jugs and a few drops in my dish pan which disinfects the drain hose and grey water jug.
That’s a great idea! Bleach is such a great thing to have, really gets the job done nicely! We appreciate you ❤️😊 thanks for stopping by! - Kyle and Renee
I need to get this done on mine. Thanks for the reminder. Loved the microwave trick. Good job again.

Wow thank you so much!! We truly appreciate your support 🙂🙌🏼What's your name by the way? Are you currently living the RV life?
I 'liked' the video as soon as your intro was done. Fantastic!
I'm sure the rest of the video is good too. I'll continue watching it now.
Guy, we have this argument ALL the time!!! Natasha would agree that you should sanitize your water system at least every year. Love the tutorial! Great job guys.
Haha! Yes, the struggle is real lol definitely a good idea to stay up on the Sanitizing, we are always struggling with doing it 😄 you guys are too awesome, stay safe in your travels! Thank y’all for stopping by ❤️ - Renee and Kyle

Very Detailed information, you guys did a great job on this.
Hey thank you guys so much!! We appreciate the support and your kind words ❤️😊- Renee and Kyle
Love you guys
You guys are dope, keeping it fun, thanks.
We had such a hard time figuring out where our hot water heater bypass was and our user manual is not super user friendly. Y'all nailed it. Thanks so much for being helpful and entertaining.
Hey Kyle!! So glad that this was helpful 😃Yes, we found that we had a similar experience when first looking for our bypass as well!
It's great to meet you! We hope that we can continue to hear from you again! Thank you so much for your support and comments! 🙂
You guys are the best!
Thank you very much, Brett! We really appreciate your support in watching 😃 - Kyle and Renee
So glad we found this video! After 5 camping seasons (we are weekend warriors at the moment) we will be using our fresh water tank in just a couple weeks while boondocking for the first time in our Grand Design Imagine! This video will definitely come in handy! 👏👏
This is wonderful to hear!! It's so nice to meet you guys 😃 Thank you for your awesome support! What model of the Imagine do you guys have?? We started off in a 2150 RB 😀
AWESOME JOB YOU TWO!!! The effects in yours videos are great!!! That must take forever!! Always entertaining!!
Thanks man! Yeah they take some planning and preparation for sure, but they make the video pop and it’s worth it in the end! We try to keep boring videos as entertaining as possible lol 😂 thanks for watching!! You are always so awesome for the support 😊
We love you guys!
Back at ya!
That's a thing? Hmmm, I guess it is. We've only filled our fresh water once and drained it when we ended our boondocking excursion. We don't boondock often. I probably should do a thorough cleaning on it just the same. Great video. :)
Thanks for watching!! When we had our first RV it was almost 1.5 years before we decided to sanitize, just cleans out all the faucet really well especially if you drink water from them 👍🏼 ~Renee and Kyle
Really awesome transitions!! Love this
Yay!! So glad you liked it :)) thank you!!
Great information and fun to watch! Good job guys. 👍 Have fun and be safe.
Hey Ed thank you so much!! Glad it was entertaining :) You be safe as well, see you on the next one. Much love the support ❤️- Renee and Kyle
AWESOME! Love the peak a boo.............just Awesome!!!
LOL thank you so so much ❤️ You guys are too sweet :) - Renee and Kyle
Great Idea
Thank you so much Brian!! We appreciate your support 😊👍🏼
Amazing video! Watching you makes us realize we still have so much to learn. Love what you did with the microwave scene!
Aww thank you guys!! It will definitely come, we still learn so much all the time! Before you know it, everything will be second nature for ya 😊Your kind words mean so much to us! Cheers - Kyle and Renee
Thanks for sharing this how to
Hey Jeff! So glad that this was valuable for you. It’s great to meet you, we hope we can hear from you again soon! Cheers! - Renee and Kyle
Great video as always and great info!!!! You just do it in such a fun way it makes people listen more.
Awesome! This is so great to hear :) we try our hardest to keep the boring topics fun, so it really means a lot that you guys mention this! Thank you both so much ❤️ - Renee and Kyle
Great information
Thank you! Appreciate the support 😃~Renee & Kyle
Love this video! It gives me a lot of important information on how to sanitize the water lines.
That's great! Glad we can help! 😃~Renee & Kyle
I’m glad you developed this channel. While I will be retiring in a few months. We are considering a smaller trailer. Concepts you provide can apply as well. At my age I remember the “Outhouse “. My mother would add active yeast, which would break down waste somewhat. Doing this is like paying it forward. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for saying this, Tony! That is so exciting for you guys. What a good idea that you mother had. We appreciate all your support
You guys do an AMAZING JOB editing without a third camera man! I a really impressed! Amazing job guys! 👏👏
"Oh you're being serious" xD rofl
😂😂😂🤣 glad you got a kick out of that lol
Good video. We do ours every 6 months. Very important stuff. Thanks for sharing you guys rock
That’s awesome, sometimes we forget to do ours for a little and then we have to play catch up lol we you guys are so great for being here :) appreciate you! - Kyle and Renee
The product value of your videos are awesome.
WOW!! Thank you so much for this 😃We greatly appreciate your support. Talk to you again soon
I'm glad to see that Carl knows a great beer 🍺
Oh yeah!! 😎 Cheers to you Teddy! 🍻
We definitely have to do this as part timers. We've had our RV for a year now!!
Honestly we forget all of the time as well! It is something so simple, yet it seems to always slip our minds 🧐😄Thankfully it is a relatively easy process! Hope you guys got some good content, thank you JAG Family ❤️
Great job #Carl and Rene!!! I continue to love your channel.
Thank you Lori!!!!❤️🥰 you are so awesome!!
The intro to this vid is hilarious!!!! Love it!!!
Great video

Seriously KYLE Pabst!!! Great info you two!! Way to take the drudgery of sanitizing the system and making it look interesting. Hope you two are doing well. Safe Travels!! 👍😎❤ Sean & Angie
Sean I have to keep it cheap, the struggle is real in the Hanks household 😂🤣😂🤣 no work and full time TH-cam has taken some of the finer things away from us like good beer LOL (I don’t judge, I’ll drink any beer) hehe
Thank you both for the kind words, we appreciate you so much. Safe travels to you guys as well 😃✌🏼 - Kyle and Renee
I just learned I wish I had your water system. Ours is all manual except for the water heater. I did like the water treatment concept to clean it. great video on this. ❤️👍👏 Donovan & Jodi
Yes, we are spoiled right now with the P1 Nautilus. At first when buying this rig, I was like “that looks confusing,” but we quickly realized how convenient it is! Thank you both for stopping by! Stay safe 👍🏼🙂🙏🏼👊🏼 - Kyle and Renee
Y’all are so fun! I don’t have an RV but maybe one day! However, I’ll be watching for more because you’re just too fun! Thanks for being you! Xo, Sabra
Hey Sabra! You are so awesome for stopping by and hanging with us for a few :) we are glad it is entertaining at least lol much love from the Hanks family ❤️👍🏼 - Kyle, Renee and Dexter
Great explanation of how to clean the water system in your RV. The set up with the different colored knobs and diagram of how to turn each to do the different water functions is really nice. Ours rig doesn’t have that, but is explained in the manual.

Yeah we had the same thing as you guys in our last rig, definitely is a nice upgrade (but maybe we are a little too spoiled now) 😊 haha! Thank you all for stopping, much love from the Hanks - Kyle, Renee and Dexter 😺
Fast and easy! Nice :-)
Thank you Holly! We tried to keep it as entertaining as possible 😄We appreciate you stopping by :) - Kyle and Renee
Wow this editing is amazing guys!
Thank you Perry!! We really appreciate your support 🙂👍🏼👏🏼 - Kyle and Renee
Tip. Make sure you carry a medical power of attorney and advance directive. We were camping on Carlsbad NM last year when my husband broke his clavicle which led to a pulmonary embolism which led to pneumonia and sepsis. As he was recovering, he fell and crushed his hip. Had an emergency hip replacement. Next was a mini stroke followed by a silent heart attack.
Three hospitals and two medical flights. Thankfully we have wonderful medical insurance. We pay out the nose for it but it paid for itself last year.
Things you never think will happen.
I found it easier to add some blue food coloring to the bleach water. It removes any doubt about whether you have bleach in your lines.
Kyle and Renee, we see that you are getting close to the 1000 mark! We thought we would help out with the hours and binge watch your channel today! We will not be making comments, but we'll watch all your videos. Have a great day Lynn and Danny
Lynn and Danny thank you guys so so much ❤️❤️❤️ this is incredible of you both! We will pop over and do the same for you guys, we want you to get those watch hours too! Much love to you guys for everything, seriously you both rock 😊🙏 - Kyle and Renee
How did you get into your microwave? I absolutely love the humor you put into all of your videos. Great teamwork.
LOL It's a tight squeeze in there 😄 Thank you so much for your wonderful support Bill! Cheers to you, we hope we can hear from you again soon!
You guys are so fun AND helpful! Keep up the great job! 🖖🏻👍🏻🙏🏻😘
Thank you SOO much!! It's always so great hearing from you! 🤗 🙌🏼 What's your name by the way?
@@HappilyEverHanks my real name is Sherie Ragan ( my you tube handle is pronounced (no one you know) n1uno1965) I thought I was being cool 😎 lol
Sherie, to be honest for the longest time...I thought your name had to do with the card game UNO 😄I think that is such an awesome name you came up with! You are definitely cool in our book, it's so great to be able to meet you by name! We appreciate you Sherie, stay safe and talk again soon - Kyle and Renee
Thank you… I’ve watched lots of videos on this, and not one has actually showed how to bypass the water heater. 👍
Absolutely!! We are so happy to hear that this was helpful 😃Are you living the RV life??
@@HappilyEverHanks
Yes, but not full time. We just got a Grand Design 21g toy hauler and I just want to keep up on proper care.
That’s awesome!! We hope that we can continue to hear from ya 😀 Stay safe out there!
So many good things in here... PBR... "in the TH-cams"... and the slick Green Screen usage!
Oh, and some awesome helpful information! Love it guys!
Hahaha!! So glad you guys liked it 😆😂 we tried to keep it real as we could! We appreciate you guys :) - Kyle and Renee ✌🏼
You discovered my channel. I was actually connected but darn it I forgot to turn that bell on. It's on now. No more missing your videos. This is all great information. We will actually be Boondocking so we always want to make sure that we have good clean fresh water. We are actually trading in our Class A for a 30ft Fifth Wheel. We head out full-time December 16th. We are headed to Quartzsite, Arizona for the Winter. My channel is all about finding Handicapped Accessible Places and inspiring everyone to get out and enjoy life. And Miss Abby is a rescue so through the donations and membership she will be helping local Animal Shelter and I raise money to help disabled people. This new Season as we hit the road. I'll be doing hard-core Handicapped Accessible reviews.
This is truly incredible of you. You have such a big heart ❤️ we are so happy to hear you are hitting the road full time in just a few weeks!! We are sure you are a huge inspiration to many and we will be sure to follow behind you for support. Thank you so much for stopping by, we are really happy to meet you! - Kyle and Renee
I’d love to watch your brainstorming sessions when you plan your videos!
Thanks for the info!!!💙💙💙
Haha it is chaotic to say the least 🤯 we have fun with the process though! Thank you so much for watching ❤️😊 appreciate you guys! - Kyle and Renee
Yeah, what I really want to know is how much wine is involved!??🤣
@@Project39MiniAlbums we can’t say 😏
@@Project39MiniAlbums jk 😄 of course lots of wine 🍷 always a great thing to have when filming
Thanks so much for that awesome video👍. We picked up the same 2930rl last fall so we’ll be definitely be using this tip. Happy Trails 🏔
Hi Eric! Congratulations!! That is so exciting 😃It's nice to meet you by the way. What inspired you guys to join the RV life? Are ya'll part time or full time??
@@HappilyEverHanks Thanks, we used the trailer once before winter hit so looking forward to spend more time in it. We’re part timers at this point but I’ll be retiring next spring so plan on hitting the road a lot more, will likely stay part timers.
That's fantastic! Congrats on the upcoming retirement, that must be so exciting 😁Keep these great comments coming on other videos Eric! We really enjoy hearing from ya! Stay safe
Great info and very true. Sanitizing is very important! Hey y’all are fast approaching the 1,000 sub mark!!! Congrats! Happy Thanksgiving week as well!!! 😊❤️🦃
Yes, definitely important to stay up on the sanitizing :) Hey guys thank so much!!! We are super excited for what's to come! Happy Thanksgiving week to you guys as well, stay safe and enjoy ❤️😃Much love from the Hanks family - Kyle and Renee
AWESOME video! Thanks so much, as I'm designing my own to fill that gutted '78 Nomad, the hot water bypass totally slipped my mind! Just gonna pencil that in... Gotta catch up with you guys on the road one of these days and show ya what your videos helped me build! :-)
Thank you so much ❤️We truly look forward to this, it will be great to meet you one day soon Alf!! We look forward to talking again, best to you!
PBR, didn’t realize that was still a thing🍻
Great originality with the microwave scene. Your videos on boring topics are so much better than most of the other how-to videos on YT. Too bad our 2150RB doesn’t have a fancy Nautilis system.
We were just discussing never drinking the fresh water tank water because it's not very sanitary. I wasn't even thinking about the hot water heater. Good call y'all. Thanks Hanks.
Hanks thank you! Yeah totally by passing the water heater is such a nice option to have. We are making a video soon on how to clean the water heater, thanks for the support friends 😊👍🏼 - Kyle and Renee
Hell yea !!! PBR ...... Carl ..... I mean Kyle ..... that’s my fav 🤣
HAHA! Keeping it real with the PBR 😂 Carl is showing his true colors!
Dear Renee and Carlyle...thanks for another excellent video. I don't have a Grand Design, but now I know to look up the process for our RV. We found out, this last weekend, that you can't forget to use the black tank wash-out feature, like we did on our previous trip...holy smokes! (Actually, you would not have wanted to light up a smoke because I think our RV would have gone into rocket engine mode) (We don't smoke) (Please don't judge us) Thanks.
LOL 😂 🤣👌🏼🙌🏼 Bob… literally the best comment ever!
We are rolling laughing right now, no judgment at all! Glad you guys were able to figure that out!! It’s always a never ending lessons that we learn from the RV life right? 😄 We always find ourselves learning everyday!!
Keep these wonderful comments coming, you’re hilarious!
That’s probably important to by pass the water heater. Thanks for sharing and giving all the tips, even being flexible when plans change. :)
Yeah definitely important to bypass the heater! Absolutely you guys :) Thank you so much for stopping by, so happy it was valuable content for you guys! - Kyle and Renee
Y'all are so fun, even when taking about sanitizing water systems :) We can't seem to find bleach here in Florida, it keeps selling out!
Thank you guys!! Really?? That’s a bummer 😕 hopefully it gets back in stock for ya guys soon
We appreciate you all 😃 - Kyle and Renee
Love the shock value....I mean PBR? Two words my friend...Shiner. It's this thing down here in Texas that we call "beer" and goes great with another delicacy we call "Whataburger". Now neither of these helpful life tips will do anything for you with your holding tanks but your street cred will skyrocket! Good info here and something we "part-timers" have been discussing. Another fun fact: did you know there is a "Hanksville" in Utah? Google it.
LOL LOL I'm on a budget 😂No work has taken me to new lows and those lows include PBR. Still works though, I'll drink any beer. I miss my IPA's though! Thanks for the heads up on the street cred, I need as much as I can get 😄Yes! We have totally heard of Hanksville, we actually drove past it one time. We appreciate you guys! Thank you so much for stopping by and giving us a laugh lol - Kyle and Renee
@@HappilyEverHanks IPA man eh? Well then I gotta ask, what's the go-to?
@@ConsidertheWonders if I am on the west coast I love either Deschutes (Fresh Squeezed IPA- Bend, Oregon) or Sierra Nevada (Hazy Little Thing IPA - Chico, California)
While on the road I usually stick with Rogue or try some new IPA wherever we might be located.
What is your go to? Do you like IPA’s?
@@HappilyEverHanks go-to is lager. There are some great breweries here in Tejas. Lakewood, FourCorners, & WildAcre are some that come to mind. Shiner or Blood and Honey are staples and ales are all golden for me. I may cheat on my tastebuds while traveling and will dip into the dark side with a Black and Tan. Lately been into whiskey and now prefer old fashions w/Woodford.
@@ConsidertheWonders Renee loves the black and tans! I will drink just about anything, I am not too picky. Those all sound really good! Also, I recently have been getting into some Whiskey as well. My buddy showed me a brand called Obon. Really enjoyed that taste for just a laid back sipping drink. Thanks for sharing with us! We will let you know when we get in the area of Tejas 🤙🏼 Stay safe guys! 😃- Kyle and Renee
Hi guys, great video, very informative and great fun to watch. We have something in the UK called Puriclean which we use every 6 months. TYFS. Best wishes Sue, Brian and The Westies👍🐶🐾😀
Thank you so much you guys for stopping by! We appreciate the kind words and support :) Take care guys! - Kyle and Renee
Very good idea to keep those tanks sanitized. Thanks for all the info guys, very helpful.
Max_Your_Journey (Alvin)
It’s always nice having a clean and sanitized tank 💥 thank you Alvin for stopping by 😊👍🏼 - Renee and Kyle
I might just add bleach to my water in amounts used to sanitize drinking water. So for my 40 gallon tank, that would be about 1 tablespoon (or maybe a bit less even like 2-1/2 teaspoons) of household bleach (and use it like that, no rinsing or flushing). Also, I think people make a big mistake when they use a filter when adding city water to their tank, the water needed the chlorine to remain safe in the city water system, and our RVs need the chlorine in our fresh water tank as well, of course some of that gasses off while filling it, thus the thought of adding a bit more here and there. It is easy enough to remove bleach with a filter at the kitchen faucet with any type of charcoal filter or filtering pitcher. Of course you are correct in your video that the proper recommendation is to sanitize, but I know of villages that many of the homes use a water tank system, and they aren’t flushing every year…of course the water from the water delivery truck has a strong smell of chlorine bleach. Just some thoughts I was having anyway, I like to keep things simple when possible.
This is fantastic Travis! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out for us and everyone reading. We really appreciate your insight and support 😃🙌🏼 keep these wonderful tips coming, we hope to hear from you again soon. Cheers!! - Kyle and Renee
Lol we haven't sanitized our tank In 3 years.... Yeah we gotta do that when we get to Texas in a few weeks 🤣🤣
LOL it's easy to forget! We always seem to let ours go a little longer than it should. Hopefully it goes smoothly for you guys!! Thanks for stopping by :) - Renee and Kyle
Just started watching this and laughing already 🤣
Glad you enjoy 😃
PBR, praise the lord, PBR!!!
LOL 😂🙌🏼 I’m any “any kind of beer drinker”
I love me some PBR 😎🤙🏼
We’re staying in our “new to us” Grand Design this weekend and want to sanitize. Your channel has been a tremendous help as we prep.
Question: How do we know when our fresh water tank is full? I know the indicators can be unreliable.
Semper Gumby
Always be flexible
Great video…ever use Starbrite’s aqua flush? Curious as to how it compares.
Never tried it! Thanks for sharing
Great information I wasn't aware of.
I wonder if doing this and then taking the rig for a drive to splash it around to get all around the tank as well would be a good idea.....?
Yes, for sure it's a great idea
"Oh, you're being serious".🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣dig that hole deeper.
Thanks so much for the info. My girl and I are looking into the RV life so been watching a lot of your videos. Im curious, have you also looked into a UV water sterilization system for your drinking water? And since this is 7 months old if you have what brand did you decide? Great videos and maybe some day in the future would be great to meet you. We are both from medical backgrounds also. Shes working on her nursing degree to be a traveling nurse and Im a former Air Force ER medic and EMT. Thanks so much for all the help and love watching the videos!
Oh this is so wonderful to hear!! How awesome that you both have medical backgrounds as well 😀🙌🏼
We haven’t looked into any of the water sterilization options thus far. We have heard great things about the Berkey water system, but have yet to try it! We just rock the Brita water filter still 🙂
Yes! We really hope to meet up with you guys one day as well!! Keep these wonderful comments coming, they mean so much. We hope to talk to you more tonight 😀👋🏼
Well except my apologies 😅 I ask about this in one of you other videos. I know I'm binge watching to get current. But you both have soooo much 🙄 valuable info on so much I'm now all over the place in watching and not in secession. Now my water matrix is really simple and does not have the goodies you've got. But I think I'm fairly frequent in usage on my home for it does sit for at least minimum of a week at a shot. Now I use the same water source all the time. Water is easy and readily available all year round plus the city does water testing on out lot cause our company has a truck wash and tanker wash facility cause we are a food tanker hauling company from milk and cream to yeast and sugar and oat milk. So the city makes sure 2 or 3 times a week there checking it. Lot of agriculture growing around blueberries and berries in general plus farm land. But I still have a separate water jug for drinking water which I get from a water refill place. Bye for now.
Hey Bryan!! We are so glad that you stumbled on this video!! Yes, we have a lot of secret hidden gems wrapped up in the channel! We can't wait to hear more of your feedback on them ❤️ We really enjoy hearing how you do things as well, it gives us a nice perspective 😊 We appreciate you Bryan!
If you don't have the Nautilus system that siphons you can simply empty the hose of water, pour 1 cup of bleach into the hose, then hook it up to your RV and fill your tank. All that bleach will go directly into your fresh water tank. Thanks Hanks!
Been binge watching your channel.. you are super cute.
Aww thank you so much!! 🤗❤️ Your support means everything to us! What’s your name by the way? Are you currently living the RV life?
@@HappilyEverHanks My name is Tammi and we have a bumper pull, but only use it a few times a year.
Hey Tammi! That’s awesome to hear 🙂 Well hopefully we can meet up with you guys sometime on the road!
Keep these great comments coming, we hope to hear from you again soon!
Hmmmm.... A thought came to mind while you were doing this. I wonder if it would be best to do this on a travel day. Once you've filled the tank with the bleach water, two or three hundred miles of road agitation may assist with the removal of particles in the water pipes.
RV Pet Tip of the week. If your Vet prescribes Prednisone for your dog, only give the short term medication between travel days. Your dog will pee uncontrollably without warning. They will have to go every two hours and will want to drink up to a gallon of water per day. I just learned this the hard way this week. Plus it gave Logan some major anxiety. The prescription is over and will take another day or two for his system to return to normal.
That's not good for a Therapy Dog that's supposed to give comfort.
Yeah that’s a great point, we might start doing that and aligning travel days to accommodate for that as well. We just need to be sure we land a site that had a sewer connection. Recently we have been doing a lot of state parks which is nice, but they only have dump stations. Hard to take your time at those 😅
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear that you and Logan had to go through this. Poor guy ☹️
Excellent tip! Would have never thought of that, glad you are sharing with us!!
Pbr yup like the video now.
Lee! You know what's up, thank you for stopping by. Hope we can hear from you again soon, cheers! - Kyle and Renee
