3,127 Miles of Winter Chaos - And It's Just the Beginning

[@keithpfrang2114]

Use a dry lubricant like graphite instead of WD-40 on your deadbolt.

[@HappilyEverHanks]

That's a good idea!

[@friskydingo5370]

Yes, graphite is the way to go excellent advice. Metals can expand and contract in hot and cold weather. WD40 is a water displacement formula, which will desolve any oils. The trick is dry lube, aka graphite. 👍

[@kcmatloff5707]

@@friskydingo5370 wd40 also attracts dust, which isnt good.

[@thetravelingmyfundsarelow1693]

Dry graphite spray, or tighten up some screws on the door, it could be sagging a little bit…anyway good vid as usual U2 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@robertcolpitts4534]

An alternative to Graphite is Molybdenum Disulfide.

[@jamesmtnbkr]

Great video guys as always , wish you a very meow Christmas

First Dexter crying none stop. then a kid screaming at dinner. Now it's time for the WINE to not stop! 🍷🍷🍷

I am happy with the Hanks. Every video is real deal. Kyle condiments (ketchup, mayo, mustard) always on the side sometimes mixed, cut burger in half, dip in condiment never drips out. Naynay, fleece leggings are warm and comfy for any occasion.

[@gerrymatheson4020]

So is it Kyle or Karl... 90% of the time when anyone says it, it sounds like Karl... but on one video I saw it in print on a banner or something and it said "Renee and Kyle"... ? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@williamatkins3465]

Every trip is a shake down trip 😁

[@antheiam8181]

Very fun episode! Love when you guys make me laugh!

[@billashley1389]

I am from North Carolina. We have sirens down here, too. The volunteers' FD used to notify the volunteers' firefighters about calls before everybody had pagers. Now, the main reason for going off is tradition. Enjoy y'all videos.

[@MrTahoeBob]

So what happens when citizens actually need to take cover, lets say in the instance of Chinese military aged males flying drones into our military bases and grid infrastructure, what then? Hey, the exiting administration let tens of thousands or more of them into our country, what did you expect blue vote choices would do? While we were infighting, arguably about the stupidest things humans have ever argued about, they took advantage of our ignorance. I have a feeling that what's coming is going to make 911 look like child's play, and those "traditional sirens" are going to exacerbate things for ya'll. Jus' sayin'. I pray I'm wrong.

[@tannerjim]

The "T's" are not for "tires" they are for seperate trailers. Once on T1, you just touch the tire to select it. You're using 4 different trailers (one tire on each trailer) to monitor your tires.

[@zachariahmannon3893]

I absolutely love the Hanks but this video had a very diffrent vibe. Hope America's best RV couple isnt getting burnt out! Its all my youtube plays!

[@justingarlock4473]

Your welcome for the buttery smooth roads in PA I helped haul in the asphalt for them

[@angelaklinger2951]

Besides being adorable, you both are so much fun to watch❤️🐾

[@TheDaveinthelab]

Try adjusting the strike plate for your door lock it may be binding and not letting the lock to move freely, also, you eat your burger upside down, LOL

[@jacklugejr8568]

I would head south then west to California. To sketchy the northern route in the water, with an RV. Good luck!

[@paulab984]

Merry Christmas, you two!

[@freddking4389]

Great video guy's! I enjoy watching. 😊

[@rickrichardson5329]

That is the most that I've heard Dexter complain about riding. I did notice once he got out of his carrier he was happy. Yall stay safe and have a Merry Christmas

[@jayward4600]

Our kitty does not like being cooped up in the carrier. Loose she's fine.

[@GIMRRC]

Another great video. Those sirens are normally for volunteer departments. It signals volunteers to come to the station.

[@kenmacdonaldjr6410]

Where I from in up state Western New York , we have an all volunteer fire department. They also have a siren that goes off to alert the fireman that they have a call. Keep up the great work. You make Thursday one of my favorite days of the week!

[@markwoods7237]

I know that feeling all too well well, sometimes I break into a full trot to get to the bathroom as I get closer. 😂😂😂

[@thelenstraveler]

It's been awhile since I've watched any of your videos and I must say out of all of them, this one I enjoyed the most. You kept it real which kept me interested. Lovin' the new (or is it?) format! Will be back next week to see if you made it to Cincy!!!

[@lindathompson6762]

Safe travels, watch that black ice!

[@Kathacamping23]

It's so cool to see you in my neck of the woods! 🙌 Bella Terra is a great place to watch bands in the summer and wine and crafts during the winter.

[@ge4405]

Hey, guys. Y’all are obviously very fit but I have never seen anything about your workout routine while traveling. Maybe I just messed it but I think folks would be interested. Love your videos.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Really enjoyed your video. They are fun. Thanks

[@Jeffbob442]

I dont wanna be cold either Na Na! Gotta get south just as soon as we finish that Christmas Ham! Merry Christmas guys!

[@jeremysweatt2536]

This is going to interesting!!! You guys are great and I am sure this will be an adventure to remember.

[@Antisocialboomer]

A locksmith told me w d 40 is a dirt magnet. Try an alternative. Jolly good show!

[@russellriggan2088]

Changing TPMS sensor batteries is now part of my spring dewinterizing task list.

[@earthstar2493]

I wonder if that's why mine aren't working 🤔

[@cottagefulloflove4090]

It was fun to see your evening. I think about that factor of RVing often...having your home right there wherever you are and then you just go inside, close up, and your comfort is right there! Thank you for the glimpse! Always great content!

[@suewinter3693]

Y'all are just the cutest!

[@ItsJonBaca]

Every time I see snow and how hard it makes life I appreciate living in AZ

[@JDT454]

Very interesting part about the tunnels and the Pennsylvania Turnpike you have to look up the abandoned Turnpike very interesting. My wife and I have bicycle in a couple times and we get to go through two tunnels. It was about the restructure of the turnpike. They did in the 60s.

[@Jonathancook1220]

Im with Renee in the ketchup, have to dip the fries because when you pour it all over the fries your fingers get covered in ketchup 🎉😊

[@pittscfllc]

Totally agree ketchup over the top is craziness 🤣🤪🍟

[@dbsmithy]

Skip the ketchup entirely. Malt vinegar is better. It’s a Rhode Island thing.

[@pawprint8167]

No worries, you have new tires, new brakes, everything will be fine. You drive a great Chev pickup and you have weight in the box. Slow n steady!! Coming from a Canadian I say you got this no problem. Just watch for other Yahoo's on the road they can be a problem

[@freedomontheloose]

Great video! Safe travels!

[@friskydingo5370]

79 dollars for fuel, I'm jellouse. It can be between 550 and 650 per tank on my rig. 110 gal and living in califorina makes fuel the most expensive expense.🙂

[@ZafodB3]

Generally, as lubricants go especially for outdoor locks in cold weather, graphite powder works well. I'm not sure how the mixture of WD40 and graphite will work now that WD40 is in there though. "Maybe" an alcohol based cleaner (electronic control cleaner?) followed by a canned blower blow out then then the graphite. After any of this work the locks several times to make sure it moves smooth and free.

[@strmchsr]

I love tunnels, too! Do you know about the tunnel game? You honk when your in them and see how many people honk along. I love it! Keep it real!

[@herb7877]

Your door lock: WD 40 is a distillate, not a lubricant. Use a dry silicone lube type spray, like you would use on your slide or if you have it graphite. Locksmiths use graphite. Never use oil.

[@johndoyle6697]

Hi Hanks. Enjoyed today's video. Merry Christmas to you and all your friends and family. Safe travels into the new year.

[@kennethpereyda5707]

I choose sunny and 70 degrees, thank you

[@adlhikes3159]

Good chemistry u 2. I enjoyed the “day in a life on the road” sitting here in Palm Desert next to my 5th where it’s 80f, no wind. Getting ready to be backpacking nearby over Xmas. That’ll be a first. Hope your trip out west was a good one 🤞

[@Monheganer]

Great video. The good and the bad. And Dexter's unedited reviews. I hope you got a chance to relax. Thanks!

[@robertsimcox8185]

Safe travel Hanks and as always another great vid. Watch out for those snow bunnies in your travel across country.

[@LillianKing]

Great video. Safe travels and thanks for letting us follow along.

[@edwardhorvat2770]

Wow, that Bellaterra that you were at is in our backyard. We love that place we go for the buffet brunch on Sundays there excellent food I’m trying to talk to the border hook ups to come down and play at that place. Wish I knew you guys were down there. I would’ve stopped in and visited you guys. Wow unbelievably close to our house. Safe travels.

[@mrmichaeltscott]

42 years driving truck double triples single. Over 50 years RVing 3 years full time. Electric brakes really don't play nice in bad weather. Not that air brakes are much better. I'd watch the weather really close and take the southern most route that's the best. Get off the road very quick if the roads get slippery. Practice not using the brakes. Engine brake. Very light foot brake.

[@donmcdaniels7855]

I also pulled doubles for 22 years… you’re 100% correct… Great Advice

[@Sticks6310]

Enjoy watching you guys every time.

[@SherriHolland-h7x]

Come south to El Campo, Lost Lagoon RV Park in Texas. There are 250 sites here and only 20 RV’s. All pull through sites. The Cancun size pool is vacant and we are loving it. Little chilly at night but beautiful during the day.

[@timf6916]

Nice video. That burger looked good.

[@brokenmechanic]

6 minutes in WD40 Is not good for locks. Graphite powder is the only lubricant for the finite parts in a lock mechanism

[@darleneinch3392]

Ketchup on the fries. Love your videos! 💛

[@MarknTerry]

My dead bolt sticks like yours at times. What works for us is when it sticks I’ll push the door inward and the dead bolt will/has unlocked with the key fob. When you use your inverter try using a 15amp or 20amp extension cord to a 50a to 15a dog bone. It is much easier to handle an extension cord than that heavy 50amp cord. Those are two things we do and work well.

[@bullishdragon5373]

I keep 2 5 gallon refill jugs for Wallmart water stations when it's too cold to find an rv water station open.

[@HappilyEverHanks]

That is a great idea for the winter months!

[@johnnylightning1491]

Kyle instead of WD-40, which is not a lubricant and evaporates, try some spray white grease on your lock. It is a lubricant and will stay around for a while. I used to be a dipper with the ketchup on the side but my doctor told me to give up french fries so now I just don't eat them. Issue solved. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@williamlabarre4755]

No WD40 on locks, use graphite.

[@Masterchief481]

Dexter looking at y'all thinking y'all are nuts. 😆 🤣 😂

[@annemarieleone6394]

Dexter is like my 2 dogs on travel day. So talkative, lol. Oh and I put those Costco s’mores in the freezer. I did it in the summer (to hide them) but so yummy frozen. They are amazing!

[@carolthomas770]

Cincinnati, OH has a pretty mild winter. But watch out for those icy highways and whiteouts! Most of my life in Cincy. Living rural now in a 5th wheel on my own property. Loving it. Safe travels, Guys!! Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@kevingardner4737]

Awesome video thanks

[@jamesfleenor4161]

Dexter not happy was funny as we have two cats so our ride was stereo because they both were not happy in the truck. The furnace falling out was not good but could have been worse. We had our power panel almost fall out only one screw holding it. When I put it back in I first put two sided tape(3M) completely around it and added 4 more screws as there were holes for them already. I think maybe they should have been there in the first place. The only other trailer problems we had was a road cone in Missouri (road construction)took out some sheet metal along with one of our side marker lights. We did have a DEF problem twice in Arizona going to and coming back from Ca. It was explained to me the second time it happened to never ever buy DEF from the pump at a truck stop as they buy the cheapest low grade DEF. We did stop at the KOA Easy Ashville in Swannanoa not knowing two days later they would get hit by Helena feel so bad for them beautiful campground enjoyed our stay there. We are back in Chesapeake Va. just waiting for spring and then back on the road. We do enjoy your videos always fun to watch.

[@slalomking]

I thought trucks stops had the best and freshest DEF ?

[@robertwernerog399]

Hearing Dexter 'talk' was the best part of the video. I'm so ready to hit the road. I'm going RV shopping soon.

[@Josualamont5768]

I think you’ll love it. Naturally, there will be an issue here & there. After watching some of the RV adventure videos, my husband and I are gonna hit the road Dec 29 for about 1 year. Multiple states so I hope this works stress free Hope you guys have a stress free trip…. Find the right RV😊

[@davidwebster454]

Be safe! Love your videos!

[@garygroce819]

Thanks Hanks nothing like travel days excellent video showing how the Hanks handle being full time on the road

[@brianbahner3300]

Why not take a more southerly route? My family just RV'ed from Denver to Santa Barbara and back for Thanksgiving and the weather through CO and UT was full on winter at that point. So we went straight south from Denver to southern New Mexico and then west through Tucson AZ to CA and then back home along a similar route. Not as direct but we avoided crossing the continental divide in CO and for most of the trip it was a perfect 70-80 degrees during the day and above freezing at night with dry roads, and water at the camp sites and in the RV. We had the pink stuff in the lines until we got into southern NM and out of the freeze zone and then it was smooth sailing and beautiful the rest of the trip until we re-winterized right before we came north again. Those of you with winter-ready rigs might be more capable with the winter weather but you aren't going to be outside by the camp fire looking at the stars in a blizzard. PS. HappilyEverHanks is entertaining and highly informative and we have learned a TON from the experiences you share. Thanks for doing what you do - you deserve a million subs!

[@ReadyOrNot-zo4rc]

Western I80 is prone to heavy snow, ice and high winds during this season and certain sections of I80 are occasionally closed. Stay updated with 511 app and stay safe.

Stay warm and safe travels west. I am chillin in Quartzsite ❤

[@grega2362]

My father worked on the pike when they moved the tunnels. I hate that road and avoid it if at all possible. Ketchup=ON with pepper.

[@BernieKathie]

Holiday’s refer to Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. If after Thanksgiving refers to Christmas and the New Year IMO. Nothing wrong with saying Happy Holidays!

[@GrumpyForester]

Ketchup ONLY goes on the side...what a question!! Loved the Video!!

[@EdwardMoore-g8d]

Love you guys merry Xmas

[@5thWheelRVing]

Kyle, try using white lithium grease on your deadbolt and the latch. Apply it with both out and then work the grease in by flipping both the latch and the bolt in and out several times. Apply it maybe once a month! Works very well for us! God bless, safe travels and Merry Christmas 🎅🏻🎄🇺🇸

[@RayLyle-kx2ks]

Hey y’all great video thanks for the Hanks. The info on the battery’s on the TPS system and is Dexter ok now he sure was crying a lot. And I love the tunnels also y’all stay safe and happy travels.

[@michellekrantz4541]

In the 80 and all that traffic and the snow is why we completely avoid it. We take the 40 but still run into a little bit of snow here and there but not as much as you get on the 80. Be safe and we enjoy the video.❤

[@kipeast]

Our rv door lock sticks sometimes also. When it does, we just press on the door when we unlock it. That usually does the trick.

[@stevenkaskus6173]

You might want to get a little black bracket that you can mount that allows you to move them like swing to the side but will keep the fireplace unit from falling out.

Good day Hanks. I added the OEM GM tire sensors to my truck and got rid of aftermarket TPMS… Best decision ever! You can add the valve from GM and see the tire pressure in your truck display. Maybe next upgrade.. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@markwilson3425]

Stop using WD-40 in your lock. Graphite lock spray is meant for this. Oil gums up even light oils like WD.. You are creating your own issue. Now you will have to clean the gummed up oil out. Break cleaner then graphite spray if you have sticky locks.
