-Last week, we left you on a little bit of a cliffhanger.
-Somebody at this meetup gave us a present
because they felt bad for us.
-But first, we want to pick up where we left off. Eustis, Florida.
So I got some exciting news for you guys
because you guys have been asking what is Carl doing
about this TPMS being in the backseat?
Everyone's saying some great comments about how it needs to be upfront
so you can keep your eyes on it at all times and listen, I hear you.
So, Carl finally got off his lazy butt and installed the repeater.
I put it right here on the sidewall, in this front compartment here.
It was super small wiring though. It was like almost like 22, 24, 26 gauge wiring.
So I went ahead and crimped it to a battery terminal connection piece,
put it on the battery,
and then threw some command strips on the back of it, we're good to go.
And now I don't have to sit there and like hold it behind me
in the backseat and wait for a reading.
It's the little things.
See what happens when you actually get off your lazy butt, Carl.
You actually get things done. Things are looking up.
(music)
Top of the morning to you.
Now that Phil and Stacy and everyone else we just met
ditched us a couple days ago.
We're finally going to hit the road ourselves.
Head over to some friends property and chillax.
Today, it's finally warming up. You'll notice I have shorts on today.
You could say things are getting pretty exciting down here in Florida.
I know.
Everyone up north right now is just, you're sick of my attitude aren't you?
And to be honest I'm kind of sick of my own attitude
because I sound like a wuss?
Lots to do. Ney Ney is inside getting packed up the rest of the way.
I'm outdoors doing my duties outside.
Gonna unhook the sewer, water, electric.
And then we are on the road cruising for a bruising. No, not really.
Yeah, but we're going to go with it anyways.
If this is your first time here, well, welcome.
Hello, from the Hanks family. It's nice to meet y'all.
What are you guys doing? Are you guys rocking the RV life too
or you guys just here for some entertainment
and people to laugh at of like
total weirdos and you guys are like, who are these people?
Hun, I need some keys.
Thanks for the help. I'll get it myself.
I want you ready in ten.
I gotta shut the door before she starts yelling at me.
That's the only way I could get away with that kind of back talk.
Nice Carl. She knows I love her. It's all in good fun.
You know what's crazy?
I just washed the trailer and it's already completely dirty again.
This is what I was talking about before
is like when you're full time on the road it's just like, dang.
You put all this money into washing these RVs and then
bam they're dirty again.
Tanks are flowing. I've been super paranoid ever since we left California.
I've been like check this every single day
to make sure there's no leaking going on.
You just gotta double check make sure so...
And if you guys don't know what I'm talking about
definitely check out this video up here and it will catch you
up to speed on what is actually going on with the leaking grey tank.
It's always something, always something.
Today is going to be a great day. I'm feeling it in my bones.
Florida, we're coming for you. Wait.
Wait a second, we're... Florida, we're here already.
Look out everyone.
Hey! -Hey.
-Are you ready to go. -Whoa. -Whoa.
Whoa is right ready. -I'm almost ready in the inside.
-Dude, I am like all ready to go.
-Dude. -I got everything almost packed up out there. -Dude.
Dexter, did you pack your bags yet?
-Hey, get your bags packed. Let's get on the road.
-Here you go. -Your husband did dishes.
Did my part. -Gold star husband.
-Notice we do not have any trees nearby.
So, I don't think I have to get up on top and check the slides.
We should be good or should I get up on top and check the slides?
-Famous last words.
-You're telling me, I'm going to get up there right now and go check em.
Anything else you need from me in here, before I go out?
Okay, sounds good.
I have to be honest. Sometimes I am just like
animated obviously, Carl's animated in doing all this out here
and people just like walk by and shake their heads.
They're like, who is this guy?
What what is he even do... What is going on over there?
What is that stupid fuzzy thing on top of that camera
that he's shoving in his face. It's just the way the Hanks roll.
You know what I'm saying? We're rolling with it.
I forgot today is the first...
Today is the first day I get to use that TPMS system.
So, I'm going to turn it on right now and see if that repeater is picking up.
Where is it, Ney Ney?
Oh I know it's in the backseat.
Remember because we always been keep it...
Remember because we always been keeping it in the back seat lately.
So, there she is.
Look at that. It popped right up.
So now, instead of keeping it back here with Dexter,
we can actually keep it up here in the front of the truck
and actually see what our tire pressures are.
That's a small win for the Hanks family. I'm running with it.
-Listen, howdy partner.
-Howdy. -License and registration.
-No, I don't think so. What for?
-Cause I said so.
I think this vehicle is waiting for us. We're playing chicken right now.
We are actively, actively in a game of chicken.
-What on earth are they doing?
Wave em on. Go get em tiger. Lay down the law.
Look at her. Hands in the pocket, being so coy.
Just like pretending like she's just walking across the street.
I know what you're up to!
She's such a big talker. She's always like, I'm going to go tell them
that come on, let's move it along and then she's always like,
just walking across the street.
Just, just wanted to scope it out here. You know, give the ole scoperoo.
Now, she's going to take credit for them actually moving. Watch.
Look at. Now, she's going to be like, yeah, I told them to move.
You just think you're owning the traffic, don't you?
-We're good? -Okay, there. -Come on in. -Okay, Skipper.
Oh my... Oh my goodness.
What are you doing?
-I'm directing you. Isn't this how you do it?
-No, this is not how you do it.
-That's not how you tell your partner to back up?
(music)
-Can you help me, help you here? Help me, help you.
(music)
Coming back.
-Thanks for the communication, Carl.
(music)
Bingo. Bingo, bongo.
(music)
-You like that? I'll be here all week. What's up?
(music)
-So, we're about to get here
and when we get here, we have a surprise for you guys.
-I forgot about the surprise.
-How could you forget I've been thinking about...
I've been thinking about it all day. And yesterday.
-I'm like, Squirrel. -You are like squirrel.
Let me call Greg and see what's the plan here.
Hey, there, how are you?
Alright. So, let's see if we can coordinate this well.
-Y'all see me? -Yup. -Yup, we see you.
Great. Alright, we'll follow you.
Woo. Made it to our next stop here.
A place on their property here. They got hookups.
They got the hookup. We get the hook up. Next step is to park the rig.
What do you think?
-Should be good, yeah. -Should we make, I mean, that slide might
hit the box but it looks like we split it here.
-That's what I was thinking too. -Yeah.
So, sewer, I mean, that's, you can't get any closer
to a sewer. -Oh my goodness. I hope I can squeeze this.
You think we're going to make it?
So, I'm... I want to run a scenario by you.
-Okay. -You think we should let people in on the deets?
You didn't say a single word, did you?
Tell everyone how good of a boy you were today.
Okay. Not a lot to say still. This is good.
You hear the birdies?
Alright, show me what you got here.
Why do you have dish soap on top of the truck?
-Well, you'll see why in a second.
Pow pow. -What is that thing?
-I see you. -Snap Pads.
We weren't really ever interested in Snap Pads but now we're intrigued.
Somebody we met at the You, Me, and the RV Insiders Meetup,
Will, thank you so much.
-Mm hmm. -He saw us messing with the orange blocks
and he felt bad and he had extra Snap Pads.
-What's the, what's the big deal with these things?
I don't know. You guys throw it in the comments below because I'm...
I'm still not sure what the big deal is.
-Here is why we like the orange blocks versus these.
We stack the orange blocks not because
we're worried about sinking into the ground but we like that stability.
-You know, the further the jacks extend, there's more like sway there.
-Right. When we're chasing Dexter and having dance parties,
there's a lot of swaying.
-They look like weights. -Yeah. -Can I use them as weights?
-Another issue is the person's property we're staying on.
He said that his buddy had a big class A in this spot and after it rained,
he put the Snap Pads down and they like sunk into the ground.
-Nice. -So... -Nice, Ney.
-We might still put something down underneath these,
so we don't like sink into the ground, right? -We'll find out.
Let's give em a trial around here. Walk us through it.
-I don't know. I'm going to have you like lower it while I...
I don't know. Well, I'll lower it and then you'll move it.
-Alright, miss bossy pants.
Okay. -I'm probably doing this wrong.
-I like what you're doing here. -Remember...
Guys, this is not a how to install. This is just our experience.
-Which we have none installing this stuff. -We just want you guys to like...
Hey, we got Snap Pads and we're going to see what's up.
-But the word on the street is Snap Pads is where it's at, right?
-That's what everybody says. Everybody in our setup video was like
get Snap Pads, get Snap Pads.
-Honestly, everyone says to get it. So, what do the Hanks do?
They choose not to get it. That's how we roll. Everyone's like,
you have to have this and we're like, psych, we're the Hanks.
We don't have to have anything. We don't do anything the right way. So...
Wow. That looks interesting.
-And then you just need to help guide it.
What do you say about that? -I just say you lead the way and I follow.
-Yeah, are we going to need blocks underneath? I don't know.
-One, one hurdle at a time there, Ney Ney. -Alright. -Easy there, tiger.
Looking good there.
-We're soaped up and we're ready for lift off, here.
-The moment of truth.
-Well, that one's going to go down first. So, why don't you go on that side.
-I'll record what I want to record. I'll have you know.
Okay, how about I record over here, whenever you're ready.
Are you listening to me over there? -I hear you.
(jacks extending)
-Is yours popped in?
This side went in but this side is not popping in.
Yeah, keep em coming up.
First trial run, the Hanks already failed.
What's wrong with us? This is why we don't buy these cool toys.
Yeah, let's give it a harder surface
and let's really throw the dish soap on there.
Okay, looking good.
Is it pretty soapy? -It's pretty soapy.
-Wow. Snappy.
(jacks extending)
-Oh, oh.
(jacks extending)
It's gonna go, it's gonna go.
(jacks extending)
-It's wanting to. -It's going to go, ready?
Oh. -Oh. -It did it.
-I'll get the other one.
(grunts)
-Here, let me get a broom. -They are dusty.
Let me help out here.
Alright.
Hey, let's get the Snap Pads on here. -Wow, look at this.
-Squirrel? -Yes. -Squirrel again. -It's just beautiful.
-Wow.
Look at all that. -How does this then not make it like slip out then, after?
-Well, there's a lip there, honey that it connects to.
-Still, I've heard of some people's Snap Pads falling off.
-That's what they say, word on the street, that it happens.
-I don't know. I feel like this...
you know, we're going to put these on and we're not going to really know
if they're worth it or not.
-Alright, I'll just wait here.
More soap. Soap alope.
Oh, wow. -Oh. -Oh, wow. That was cool.
So, we have full pressure on there.
So, just adding a little soap made it a little more lubed.
Whoa. Watch that broom there.
Ah my foot. -Oh I'm sorry. -No it's fine.
-What are you guys doing today? -Nothing, just chilling.
-I'm talking to them. -Well, we're just chilling watching you. -Oh I see.
-Alright, slow down, right there.
Let me just add a little more here. You just know. You never know.
Okay.
(jacks extending)
Going in. He's going in.
Oh. Wow, last one, best one. That snapped right in.
Dawn it up. Not sponsored.
That's a wrap.
I say use lots of Dawn dish soap
when you're doing this. -Like don't be shy. Two people.
-Mm hmm. -Communicate. Watch those fingers.
-Okay. Yup. Yeah. Don't be like putting your fingers under there.
You might not get em all back.
And what do you think about them so far?
-Putting them on, I think it's pretty easy. You...
Just don't, you don't want to rush like you want to make sure you're
getting to a campground and you have like time, at least an hour
just to deal with this.
-Or else you guys like maybe getting snappy with one another.
So, you definitely don't want to do that.
I mean, Ney Ney gets snappy with me all the time but uh...
I just learn to deal with it. Keep the snap out of it.
-Don't be snippy snappy.
-You got enough electrical to reach?
Woo. That's going to be a long, long stretch there.
-I'm not the one that put the Snap Pads on wrong the first time.
That's your mother.
Are you actually getting up there? -I'm going to do it.
-Woah. Are you pulling her forward too? -Okay.
-Ow. -Careful. Pool noodle.
Look at you go. You're like a one-man show here.
Okay, bye. -Keys, no keys.
-Watch that lip.
(engine starting)
Don't screw this up. Bye.
No, I don't want to talk to you still.
-How do I do this?
-How do you drive a truck?
Start turning. No, it's good. You're doing good.
I remember the first time I drove a truck.
Nice and easy. Easy does it there, Skipper.
Yeah. Are you good?
-I don't know. -Okay, bye.
What am I going to do with her?
Oh my goodness, you're running over all my branches.
You want to tell me what that was about?
-Running over the things? -Yeah.
-You're telling me your BF Goodrich, all terrain tires can't handle it?
(music)
-Ney Ney is making a sweet din din tonight.
She is rocking a homemade lasagna, made with cottage cheese.
Yeah, not ricotta. We're trying the cottage cheese.
-We've done it with cottage cheese before. -I thought so. -And you liked it.
-And that's exactly what I was going to ask.
I think I did like it. So, yeah. Interesting way to make it but we enjoy it.
Also, if you guys want more cooking with Ney Ney and Carl,
well, then let us know about that as well
because we'll keep you up in the loop.
Man, that's looking good.
-By the way, this is not a homemade Ney Ney recipe.
No!
I'm rocking the Pinterest recipe and I'm always willing to share
and credit the person that I took this recipe from.
-Well, aren't you just amazing?
-Guys, the french toast recipe.
Y'all were hitting me up constantly and I'm like,
this is not a Ney Ney recipe.
-It was a super good french toast recipe.
If you want to check out the french toast recipe, I'll throw it right up here.
Cool video by the way. That was our time in Michigan and it was phenomenal.
(music)
For all those worried about stinky butt, he already ate and
he's still salty as ever. Aren't ya?
Look, see, he's in a playful attitude. He wants me to chase him.
Let's just get him.
See?
Look at. Now everyone's going to see the real Dexter.
Now this is how we play. He loves this.
Ow!
He's really kind but this is how dad and son play every night.
(laughing)
And then we give kisses.
We always end it with kisses, don't we?
So no, we only torment at each other once in a while.
Okay. -Mm hmm.
-You're having way too much fun over there.
-So, yeah. Just a typical night here in the Hank's household.
We just chill and enjoy it.
Food and relax.
I mean, isn't that what full-time RV living is all about? I don't know.
But this is like some of our favorite times
at night when you just kick your feet up.
-Make lasagna wherever in the country.
-Yeah, we can have lasagna in California, Florida, North Dakota, Maine.
-We can eat lasagna tonight and tomorrow morning,
we can just go explore and go on a random hike or go like
visit a new town and drink the local coffee. Or...
you could sleep in and just enjoy your RV's bed like
it's just whatever you want to do with the RV life.
That's Ney Ney's inspiration for the night.
Have a great night. Drive safe. It's been fun talking to you.
-Wow, are you done talking already?
Goodness. What time is it?
Did you finally finish your hour-long speech to everyone?
Who would have thought this would be comfy. It's comfy.
Well made.
Yeah, what do you guys like to do for fun whenever you're in the camper?
