-Welcome to the RV life. My name is Kyle. I am your host.
Please keep your arms, legs, feet, inside of the vehicle at all times.
We want to get you guys pumped for the RV life, remember?
Oh, you didn't put it under the sink. Oh, okay.
Honey, it's right here. Are you man looking?
-Because I just said, honey where did you put it?
-Kyle's driving the boat.
(screaming)
-He is literally falling asleep while I'm talking to him.
Well he's your son, so he likes to sleep all the time.
-What is this? What's going on here. -I am so ready. (laughing) -Okay.
-These tears. They're not the sunscreen. It's just the beauty of it out there.
-Like get as much as you can with this off. I'm not telling you what to do, but here you go.
-What's wrong with this? There's no other site, like this is it. We have to get in here.
(boat engine) -Oh my god, they're so close.
(music)
-Let's see who's in the kitchen today.
It's uh Carl Crocker. Hey there. -Oh hi.
-Is that what Betty Crocker looks like? Like a... what is that, a braid?
-Is that even a question, of course this is what Betty Crocker looks like.
-Do you see what your father's doing? (Dexter meows)
I got a lot of mouths to feed in this family, and I want to hear any complaining.
I'm sweating over a hot stove all day. What thanks do I get?
Serious question though. Are we packing lunches today? -Always.
I forgot that I got lunch meat yesterday, so good. And bread.
You know what's exciting? We're getting new plates.
Amazon took a little... -Yeah. -More time to get to the locker, but
that's okay. -A lot of people been asking how we're getting packages in the mail.
(music)
-Amazon lockers is what we've been doing a lot.
-I think uh, a lot of mail carriers need to start doing lockers.
-Oh my goodness, I know. Tell me about it.
-We are making burrito bowls.-Yeah. -We're doing ground sausage. -Yeah.
-And then we're scrambling eggs and adding some cheese and onions to that.
And... avocados, hot sauce, sour cream.
-What is your guys's go to, when you're in the kitchen, in the RV.
Whether you're just camping or you're full-time.
What's a go-to breakfast item for you guys that's fairly easy?
Throw it in the comments so we know because... I don't know, we're running out of ideas here.
-You cooked breakfast and you're washing dishes.
Is there.. do you need anything? Is there something you want to buy or?
Well, thank you. -Maybe another dishwasher instead of Carl.
-Hey we got to go pick up a Amazon package, at a.. Ame..(stumbling over words)
At an Amazon locker. We are getting our Corelle dish set.
-Exciting because we've been living with four years of microwaving plates that we shouldn't have.
-Well, we've not really been microwaving them as much lately.
-Who else likes to play stack the dishes?
-Is that a husband thing? Where you try to just stack the dishes in the dish rack, as high as it'll go?
-Jenga. -You know you can just grab that towel and just dry it off.
-You know, honestly, I'm sick of doing all the dishes. And can we get this house cleaned up a little bit?
Dude, I feel like you're glaring at me. I'm not gonna accept that attitude anymore.
Get your chores done. You can't just sleep all day.
-There was no response. -He's falling asleep while we're talking. -Okay.
-Teenagers. What are you gonna do?
-All right, so you might be wondering why we're picking the hottest part of the day right now...
to stand out in the middle of this Florida weather.
What's been going on with this RV fridge? Because this is driving me nuts. -It's not cold.
The refrigerator is not cold... not cooling. And I like when my stuff in the refrigerator is cold.
I'm so excited. As you can see I'm in such a good mood because the RV refrigerator... -Is not cooling.
-So we're going to take it apart and we're going to look at it together.
First we uh... we need a ladder. Because we got to get up there.
-All right, I got the goods. Grand Design manual.
Oh solar charger, which is cool. If you, you know, our battery's running low.
I figured we make the most use out of this... the sun.
I did want to mention that um the thermometers that we put in the fridge...
the one in the fridge is reading 50 degrees. So it is dropping, still slowly but it's not like...
below 40. -It needs like to be 10 degrees less. -Yeah. -Right?
-Yeah. -Those fans. I'm... I will not... -I'm not a fan.
Look at this. Solar. I love this.
-This is perfect for Florida. -We bought this for the Grand Design um...
rafting trip we did. We did 21 days... -Uh, Grand Canyon. -Oh okay.
(laughing) -Grand Design rafting trip.
-Dude, we should set that up. Grand Design rafting trip.
Keep that one on the back burner. I might use that.
We bought this for the Grand Canyon 21 day trip.
We did a rafting, all the way down the Grand Canyon.
And this was a lifesaver. Because when you're out there...
obviously, you can't charge anything unless it's through solar. So...
-Especially when you're on your paddle boards.
And you want to keep playing music, right? -Dude, that's all I'm talking about.
We love that. -I wish we were on paddle boards right now.
-It's a little bit dirty in here.
Nothing super, super crazy but I'll still wipe it up to make ourselves feel a little bit better.
Also, this is a drip pan here. So technically what this does is...
the RV refrigerator will build up moisture on the inside.
This tube will help facilitate some of that moisture out into this drip pan and I'm noticing our drip pan...
is like bare-bones empty.
-How are you doing up there? -I feel like I should talk just like call the Norcold, like hotline.
1-800... -Norcold. -Not cold.
-Not cold instead of Norcold. I like it. I like it. -Cause these fans...
The hottest time of day. The fridge is on the highest setting. These fans should be on and they're not.
(Kyle sneezes)
-A weird disclaimer, that when I look up into the sun I sneeze.
-Those fans up there should be running. They are not running.
So... -That's not cool. -I'm going to look in the manual.
-Did you get that? Not cool. -Okay.
-You got to go with my dad jokes. -I'm doin' it.
Let's start with less... less invasive first because you know I love doing that.
And let's just... I brought some Q-tips and water and paper towels.
Let's just clean out that drain tube because nothing's draining out of that.
Maybe if we clean it out... -Yeah.
-Less invasive, those fans will be like, oh we can kick on because things are working.
-Oh. Wouldn't that be just super convenient?
This is that drain tube that we're talking about before. And notice all this grime build up on the end here.
-There's supposed to be a small hole for it to drain out but maybe it's... -Correct, out the end there.
-Maybe it's plugged up. -Might be.
Might be. -Where have we also experienced stuff that was clogged up before?
-Is this a trick question? -Hashtag 12 volt water inlet filter.
-So if you're looking for more information on the water filter. And maybe decreased
water pressure and things you can do to address that. We'll throw a link up there.
Check that video out because... Just use us as an example. -Yeah.
-Use the Hanks as an example the way not to do things.
Okay, let me get this cleaned off here. -Okay, honey. I brought you some stuff to help clean it. Here's this.
-Oooh. -So I would use this first on the outside. Like get as much as you can with this off.
I'm not telling you what to do but here you go.
-You know, I might need to get like a little... Do you have a little needle?
-You can take that piece off. Yeah, that comes out.
-Eww. -Yeah. Yum. -Look at all that junk build-up.
-The reason you do have that on there, is so like bugs don't get up in it.
-I think bugs are the least of our concerns right now.
-How dirty is it or is it not too bad? -It looks a little interesting in there. I don't know.
-Ooh. -Ooh! Somebody help me. -It's mold and stuff. -Let me know in the comments...
(Kyle singing) where this junk is coming from.
-I guess it's mold from the moisture.
-Oh. I said in the comments. I didn't need your comments. -Oh.
So I'm not allowed to comment. Can I comment below in our video?
-You would do that, wouldn't you? -Yeah. -I like you. -That's cool, I like you too.
-So sitting here cleaning, I noticed a couple water drops
already starting to come out of the end of this drain hose. Which is great.
Now the purpose behind this drain cap from what I know...
and what I've learned online, is that it prevents air from going back up into there.
And it holds a drop right at the end of this tubing here. Right on the end here.
It holds a drop to kind of help facilitate the blockage of air coming back up into the tubing. So...
Pretty cool. All about the drainage process right?
The more I find about these RVs, the more I realize they're like the human body.
You want your pipes clean. You want things pumping, flowing.
Good breathing, you want that aeration going on.
I can dig it. I can dig it.
So some great news. We got some drainage coming out of that um...
drain tube now. So that's good.
-Oh good. -Yeah. So it's actually dripping on the bottom paneling there. So...
Once these are done... like letting this soak in this vinegar solution.
I don't know, I just... I figured it might be a good sign.
I'm bringing good vibes to the table today. -I love it. -Okay, cool.
-A little disclaimer. We are not RV certified technicians.
So... -Oh really?
-The opinions here are just methods we use...
to talk about RV related issues.
I feel like I'm just saying our disclaimer from the bottom.
But if this helps you diagnose your issues cause summer's coming....
-We want full credit. (laughing)
But if it doesn't, we don't want any credit. We don't want the credit.
(music)
-Do you even know, where your Mom and Dad got a spot today? (Dexter meows)
-Yeah. -So much to say. -Where are we going? I'm super pumped, babe. Where are we going?
Tell everyone, Dexter. Look, Dexter's so excited he can't even sit still. -And...
We've been on Wandering Labs, which we've told you about in past videos.
It's where you sign up to get like updates...
immediately on any state park cancellation, so you could jump on it right away.
Everybody has this for Bahia Honda in Key West which is like golden, you know, to score a spot there.
We happened to get a spot there for eight days.
-I'm so pumped. -Yay, we're going to Key West. First, we have to leave where we are.
-Oh right. Yeah. -Yeah. -You got everything shut off?
Oh, propane is... -Oh, we should show them what we just bought.
-Okay, so what we are actually talking about is a thing called the Gas Stop.
I noticed a lot of people have been having fires out on the roads. Which is really scary...
considering that this is our actual home on wheels. And basically what this Gas Stop is...
is it's just an emergency shutoff valve for your propane.
If it senses any kind of like faultiness in the lines, it kills the entire gas line.
so that no fires can happen. These things burn up quick, and I'm glad we have one.
-Well, yeah. Because if there's a break in your line and... It's just going to keep spewing propane out.
-Exactly. And then the fire, like these things only take...
a matter of minutes and then they're completely destroyed by the fire. So...
We'll throw a link in the description, if you want to look into it.
That right there is insurance. -It's insurance for sure. On your...
RV. -It's insurance. Let's just get go it installed because the longer we talk about it, I'm just like...
we need to get this on. -Directions.
-Dexter, you hang out here. Dad will take care of all this.
Obviously. What do I want these for?
-I like that you're reading the directions. That's cool.
-It's very responsible. Was that passive-aggressive... -Never. -Or what? -No.
-Whatever. Okay.
So really easy, it looks like all you have to do here... This would actually be the coupler that...
threads on to the actual propane cylinder.
And this gives that device a chance to stop that gas flow anytime...
anytime you run into a scenario. We've been seeing so many videos
online of people just losing their homes on the road. It's just like...
like that. Definitely want to get this on here just have peace of mind.
-We are like, really far south on the west side of Florida.
just below Naples. We are at a State Park. We are just pulling in.
Oh look at that cute cougar. -I thought it was real.
It's not a real cougar. The reason why we said I thought that was... Well not a cougar, a panther.
Because they have panther crossing signs down here, I'm like... what?
Wow. It's like Grand Design Rally here.
You got an Imagine here. Imagine there.
Imagine that?
-I'm gonna go scope out our site here.
That's a really small site.
I should play a joke on him and tell him that's our site. I'm gonna do it.
-It's not super busy either. -That's it, right there.
-Are you serious? -Yeah that's what I booked.
-There's sites every... -Let's just get out and look at it.
Pull forward a little bit and let's just get out and look at it.
When you look at it it's going to be bigger. Don't freak out.
-There's sites everywhere. -No. -Why are we going in there?
-I think... -Okay. This is crazy.
(musical sting)
-I think you're being a little dramatic. Like I think you can get in here.
There's no other site, like this is it. We have to get in here.
Stop looking at me.
-This isn't our site, is it? -Gotcha. (laughing)
You actually... -Why did I marry you? -You believed me. I was like...
Oh my gosh, you believed me. I'm sorry. -I thought you were being serious. This is...
-Hey. It was all the viewers. They all wanted me to do it.
I swear, they were like, yeah play a joke on him. -Don't. Don't listen to her guys, don't. Don't take that.
Don't. Just don't take that from her. Hashtag no thanks Hanks.
-Oh, your face. You were like, um what?
The map is right here. I feel like I'm gonna get it now.
-Shake it off. I mean this might actually be more of a joke, I don't know. But...
here's... you get to pull forward... -Yeah. -And then just back right into it.
Ain't that nice? -Do we need to move this picnic table? -I guess we can move it.
You want to move it? -Just a smidge.
(spoken together) -Just a smidge.
(hair dryer running) -I feel like people who have kids know what we're going through.
-We got home and Dex man left us a little present on the bed.
He decided to cough up a fur ball slash stomach contents, all over the blankets.
We had to make an emergency run to do some laundry.
And then we get home and we realize...
there's some wet spots still. It didn't dry the blanket, all the way through.
Welcome... to the RV life.
-He's like, 'hey you need to wash your blankets'.
-And it's like 2.25 a load. So that's like...
it's like two cans of Fancy Feast out of his allowance.
-Just do this. It's like gym class with that thing. -I can't work in these conditions.
(music)
-Kyle's driving the boat.
(Renee screaming)
Thanks honey.
(music)
-What's going on here? -I'm so ready. (laughing) -Okay. Help us.
Have you ever been on a motorized vehicle with two wheels?
-Um, I went on a moped in a parking lot once.
-We signed the life insurance and... -No. We forgot to do that paperwork so you're...
You're.... this might not benefit you. -What? I thought you signed that.
-These are the brakes. Pull this one first. -Okay like a bicycle. -Oh and then this is your bell.
(bicycle bell) -Oh there it is. Whoa. Whoa. -You're doing it.
Aye aye aye aye.
-This thing's got some... some fire!
(Renee laughing) -You okay? -I keep pedaling and it keeps like...
-Right. -Ahh! -Honey do the throttle... drive it with just the throttle.
Go, go for it!
(music)
-Oh whatever. You're winning because sunscreen is going in my eye. I can't see.
-Well, that's not my problem.
-These tears, they're not the sunscreen. It's just the beauty of it out there.
(music)
