-We’re gonna need this shortly. I know what these campsites are like.
Boom. Against the RV and a quick measurement. -But it's upside down.
-We will let that one slide.
Hashtag let it slide. We’re ready to go.
-That’s disconnected? -We’ll be ready to go in a second.
-RV life, right?
I have to put my makeup on with a headlamp.
Because he’s changing the battery.
I have a new routine for uh not forgetting the trash.
Take a look.
(music)
If I still forget it there is really something wrong.
-Wow. Carl and Ney Ney are a little cray cray.
Because we’re rocking the RV life and calling this thing a home?
Yes we are. And we love every second of it.
(music)
And you didn’t trust your husband to do it right the first time?
-I trust you. But you just don’t know.
-Those eyes say otherwise.
(music)
Officially made it back to Pennsylvania.
Yes.
No more six hours of driving.
Yes.
Get to actually hangout and start editing videos.
Yes.
The reason why we are here at the dump station is
cause this is the nearest water source that we have.
We do not have water at our campsite. It’s electric only.
We have to fill up our fresh water holding tank.
We are at a state park here in Pennsylvania.
It is known as Locust Lake State Park.
So if you’ve ever heard of it or if you know where we are at, near the Schuylkill County region...
Give us a shout out in the comments below and say hashtag Schuylkill.
And if you don’t know how to spell Schuylkill well don’t Google it.
I know you want to cause everyone was asking about wienerschnitzel.
But tell us how to spell Schuylkill.
-This is my stomping grounds. This is where I learned how to camp.
-This is the beginning of the beginning. -I came here like when I was in diapers.
-And what were you camping in?
-A pop-up camper. Well a tent and then we upgraded to a pop-up camper growing up so…
-Really? So you really roughed it.
-I know this place inside and out. And I know that right now…
You know what we’re doing right now? Filling tanks with the Hanks.
-Oh fun.
-Don’t look at what I’m about to do.
-I saw that.
If you don’t know what we’re talking about we actually made a whole video on this.
Check that one out because we go over in detail about things you shouldn’t be doing, Ney Ney.
(crickets)
There was no response on that one. She just never answers me.
It’s like selective hearing. That’s what she says I have but I swear she has it.
Any who, glad you guys are here. Welcome to Pennsylvania.
(music)
-We’re gonna need this shortly. I know what these campsites are like.
-What are you grabbing there? -The stick. The measuring stick.
-Explain to uh.. If somebody’s not been here, what is this measuring stick?
-We’ll assume you’re new to our channel. -You got ten seconds. Go.
-You put it up to the RV. You measure all your slide-outs and then you mark them.
So whenever you get to your campsite you can just, boom.
Against the RV. This is how far out and a quick measurement.
-Let me get those markings. Oh yeah. Bedroom slide. It says it. Bedroom, kitchen.
But it’s upside down. But that’s okay. We’ll let that slide.
We will let that one slide.
Hashtag let it slide. We’re ready to go.
That’s disconnected? We’ll be ready to go in a second.
(music)
Now... we are ready to go.
All right Ney Ney. We’re ready to go now.
(music)
Renee’s finding her peace and one with home.
-I used to swim in this lake as a kid.
It’s like so weird how you sometimes come full circle.
Like we’re here with our home on wheels but I used to like…
I used to look forward to camping so much as a kid like… Oh, it was…
This is all… Like, growing up we didn’t go to Disney World.
We didn’t travel abroad but we did go to the local campground every so often and that was like...
the best thing. -Is that what made it for you?
-It’s what prepared me for the RV life.
-Best memories, huh? -Yeah.
-And that’s what we hope to do as a family one day.
-Yeah. -Raise a family on the road and just do the small things cause this is what matters most.
That’s what stays up here in the long run. -Yes. And you know, we…
Growing up we didn’t glamp.
We didn’t take an RV to a campsite.
We actually would go… -Tread lightly, okay?
That’s our home you’re talking about. -But it’s our home but you know...
when we went camping, I mean, we were outside camping...
and sleeping in tents and pop-up trailers and… That was great.
-And now that we live in an RV we’re always asking ourselves...
when are we going tent camping again? -Yeah.
-How are you feeling about getting the RV back after having a tree fall through it...
and now look at us? -I know.
I’m so excited to be back in this.
I mean, look how cool our rig looks. -So excited to be back near all these trees.
-To the trees. -That’s what I’m freaked out about it's gonna fall.
-We have a lot of trees now. -We got a little tree PTSD.
And yes that rhymed and I’m going with it. -Yeah.
-Tell us what you would be saying to us right now in the comments being like…
It’s beautiful. -They’d be like Carl your haircut looks so nice.
-Oh thanks. I do need to spike it and...
you know, do a little something with it. But today was a travel day so…
-Yeah. Look at… Everything. We don’t dress up for travel day.
-No. No, no, no. This is. This is kinda like typical. Yeah. -Comfortable.
-Comfortable, flexible, layers, stuff like that. -You know what is good to do on travel day, ladies?
Get those pants that are just really quick when you have to use the restroom.
You don’t want to be fidgeting with like 15 belts and like…
-Why you only talking to the ladies? Guys have that problem too.
-Okay guys.
-Gentlemen, listen to me.
When you’re traveling, you wanna get those flexible waistband pants.
Ones that conform to your body like sweet buttery smooth. -Wow.
You just stole my thing. -Okay
All righty then. Well I’ll just...
I’m just gonna go home.
(music)
I cannot tell you how happy we are to be back in the RV.
Yes. I know a lot of people are out there thinking wow, Carl and Ney Ney are a little cray cray.
Because we’re rocking the RV life and calling this thing a home?
Yes we are. And we love every second of it.
So if you are also out there rocking the RV life...
Don’t be afraid. Shout it from the roof tops.
Throw it down in the comments and say hashtag RV life...
for the win!
That’s right, I said it. For the win!
(crickets)
Huh?
Where’d everyone go?
(sighs)
-RV life, right?
I have to put my makeup on with a headlamp.
Because he’s changing the battery.
-Today I realized hey, there is a lot of property here.
And might as well take advantage of all the space we have.
Dump all our junk on the ground and get this battery installed.
-And he had to shut the power off. And the battery stuff.
(music)
Hashtag RV life.
Please comment below if you’re ever had to use a headlamp to put your makeup on.
Because your husband is changing the battery.
I want you to think of Ney Ney...
if it happens to you or when it happens to you.
(music)
-Our expectation is that when we go to auto-level
or return to hitch height, when we go to hookup, that…
the auto-level system will be a lot more responsive than what it has been.
Because it has been just like lugging along barely.
Hanging in there and uh...
Leave it up to the Hanks to wait til the last second to get the battery changed so…
At least we got it changed, huh? You gotta look at the bright side of things.
I know a lot of you out there are like, oh my gosh, I have like 400 things to do.
Listen. Right here. I feel ya.
It’s every single day. And I guess that’s just what they call life. I don’t know.
Dad and everyone else in my family is like ah that’s life. And I’m like…
Really cause it kinda sucks.
But that’s okay. At least we’re all in it together and uh...
no one’s getting out alive so… might as well enjoy it.
We got the battery all connected for you baby cakes.
-I can get ready for the meet-up now. -Yeah.
We’re going to a meet-up tonight. -Yeah. -Whoop whoop!
That’s exciting. Where we heading?
-I’m gonna high five you and I’m gonna high five you. -Okay. Awesome.
-I didn’t see your hand go…
You in the back there. On the couch. -Yep.
You better high five. -With the beer in your hand. Okay, ready? -On three. One, two, three.
Nice high five.
Even Dexter sends a high five. He’s like what are you guys doing? -That was good.
We are going to a brewery in Hershey called Troegs.
Whoop, represent! Home state, right?
So if you’re upset because you’re like...
I didn’t know there was gonna be a meet-up like… What’s the deal?
In order to sign-up for our meet-ups all you have to do is subscribe to our mailing list.
And we have that in the description. We’ve had it in the description for other videos.
But wait. If you’re wondering where the description is, because a lot of people are like what…
What is this description you speak of? And I’m like… I get ya. -Yeah.
-I didn’t know where it was either when we started the YouTube thing.
Just go on your phone. There’s a little upside down arrow...
Like right below our video. You click that...
and then you have to click the tiny little print that says read more.
And it will open up everything. We put everything in there that is related to that video.
Hey to the people that have been emailing us all the time like…
What’s up? We’ve been chatting, right?
-Darn right we’ve been chatting. And can we say really quick...
how awesome is it that so many people have been reaching out.
And other people have even been giving us…
Somebody sent us some goodies. -They did.
-And not just like chocolate goodies cause hey, we’re not hating on that but...
really big goodies. -I can’t wait to whip open… Tomorrow though...
cause we got a lot of other stuff to do tonight. Tomorrow…
Stop it. -Okay. -Okay. You’re done. You’re done.
Let’s ask the real star of the show what he thinks though.
-What’s crackin today?
Say hi buddy. Are you a good boy? Yeah. Say hi.
Okay I guess he doesn’t wanna talk today. Whatever. -How’s the battery?
-Well I was just gonna get there. I’m gonna go hook it up really quick.
You know? So that my wife is happy. -It’s not hooked up?
-I mean it’s hooked up. I gotta hook up the battery disconnect.
-Hold on. Do we need to count this down where like...
there might be fireworks shooting out of the RV?
-All right. I’m done messing around. I’m gonna go hook this up really quick.
Are you ready? -Let’s do it. I’m ready.
Can I do it? -Okay. -Can I do it?
-This is how much she trusts me to hook up a battery.
-The plan is... I hook this up, I run that way.
You grab Dexter and run for the hills if uh, things are exploding.
-That’s how much you trust me? Sounds good. Wow.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
(gasps) -Did you see? A light came on.
-And you didn’t trust your husband to do it right the first time?
-I trust you but you just don’t know.
-Those eyes say otherwise.
-So if you are looking for a cheaper option.
You know you’re in the market for a battery and you need something now.
Maybe look for cheaper batteries rather than having to spread yourself thin with the finances.
And having to go with the lithium. Yeah, I’m sure the lithium are incredible.
Maybe one day that will be in the cards for HappilyEverHanks.
But for now, we’re on the cheaper side with the budget.
We wanna keep the rubber on the road. And we just wanna make do with what we got.
So if that’s something you’re interested in as well. We have the Amazon link below.
Check it out. I don’t know. You know? It might be worthwhile.
-I have a new routine for uh, not forgetting the trash.
Take a look.
If I still forget it there is really something wrong.
(laughing)
Good shot right? I know that’s what you’re saying.
(music)
-Guys, I know it’s only been a couple hours since Ney Ney brought it up and said...
Hey, if you wanna come to one of these meet-ups.
Find it in the description below and throw your email at us.
But I have to say and reiterate that this is awesome.
So many people have come out here tonight to say hi to us.
But it’s not about us. It’s not about HappilyEverHanks.
What it’s about is coming out...
getting out of your comfort zone, and meeting other like-minded people.
The stories that come throughout these conversations are awesome.
Because everyone’s like oh my gosh... I’ve done that myself too.
You’re RVing? You’re full-time? You live here? It’s just like…
So many good vibes. And everything is so positive.
So if you guys wanna be apart of this.
You wanna come say hi to Ney Ney and Carl cause yeah we’re weird. And we’re always here.
And you also wanna meet some other like-minded and amazing people.
Throw us your email and we’ll send you some updates on our future meet-ups.
And then we can all hangout together and make some fun memories together.
That’s what I love about this.
Come on. Let’s go meet some cool people.
(music)

Let er' rip! -Let er' rip!
