I hate clickbait titles. They're not quitting RV life. Their RV is going in for repairs.

[@KellySimon]

Thank you. I always thought the Hanks’ were better than this. I’ve been watching them less and less because of these clickbait titles, though I know they wouldn’t do it if it didn’t increase views. Regardless, I’m just getting less and less interested in watching them every week

[@sarahslovely08]

They didn’t say they quit rv life.

[@dianacrutchfield923]

They have been talking about repairs on their RV for a while now

[@stevenkaskus6173]

They mentioned this in a recent previous video

[@karinac6381]

Wow yeah that's why I clicked, I was sad they might be quitting RV living. So tired of everyone doing the click bait thing 🙄

[@Mia_linking]

Love you guys but stop clickbait

[@GrillMarksBud-S-n-P]

If you watched on a regular basis you would know that this isn't clickbait so stop making comments until you know what's going on maybe.

[@bresc6127]

Well said

[@maryrinkevich9275]

Disappointed y’all used clickbait title. You’re better than those other KZbinrs out there. I knew what it “meant” because of your previous vid on the repairs needed but the title wasn’t necessary. Do better and good luck on the repairs. Rooting for y’all and hope for a speedy and thorough job by Grand Design.

[@Milesco]

​@@GrillMarksBud-S-n-P It absolutely IS clickbait, and saying that if you're a regular viewer you would've known it was clickbait doesn't make it any less clickbait-y.

@@Milesco 👌

[@victoryismine30]

I genuinely hate clickbait. You guys are better than this! Don't do it you its gonna cost loyal viewers.

[@jeremyj612]

I know people will jump all over the clickbait thing. Anybody that watches you guys consistently knew you were about to get repairs done. I see it as your sense of humor. Rally looked like a blast! Thanks guys!

[@janeforever]

I started crying about 6:50. My husband would've loved to be at something like this rally but our RVing days are over because he's battling stage 4 cancer & now he's had to go on dialysis. So we'll be living our RV travels vicariously thru you guys now❤

[@Hugo-Hernandez]

I'm so sorry to hear that. I will say a little prayer for him and you as well.

Jane, my sweet wife went through this 18 months ago 😢 my prayers and are with you.

[@kathykeene2092]

I am sorry you’re both going through this awful disease. Praying for you both.

[@marysharvey]

Sending lots of positive energy your way!

[@timlord4172]

Just some FYI, have GD send you some pictures of the repairs being made to your rig! I would also make random visits to the repair facility and take some of my own photos of the repairs. Many GD owners have not been happy with their repairs to their RV, so make your own documentation on each of these repair items!! Additionally, have GD inspect the pinbox and supporting frame for cracks, splits, and any structural separation! GD has issues with the sidewalls separating from the frame structure due to improper usage of fasteners and frame gussets. If there is any frame issues found from documentation please get GD to buy back your RV or insist that you get an independent frame specialist to make recommendations to properly evaluate any repairs being performed. Please, Please do not just take GD’s recommendations ! Always beware and follow the repair process in its entirety. Always be diligent and take care with this repair process. ❤

[@Harley_Dude]

I agree with everyone else the click bait is unnecessary you can't stop RV'ing and we just brought our RV because of you guys after 2 years of watching.

[@lew3057]

A little heavy on the drama of RV repairs. The trailer needs some overhauling after several years on the road full time. These things are not designed for full-time use so it's not surprising that repairs are needed. Grand Design should give them a new one considering all the free publicity that the Hanks give Grand Design.

[@judithshelton5655]

Wouldn't that be cool!

[@grayfox9911]

I hope they can get everything squared away.Take care!

[@meececa]

More of an “au revoir” than a “goodbye”

[@RKONeilJr]

As for managing time I have found that keeping things simple and getting a very early start to your day gives you extra time for the things that come up. I hope you're not homeless too long!

[@ScottShep-rt9le]

Just wanted to let you know you're very much appreciated for your medical ability.❤

[@maryhirose524]

You've obviously been dealing with a lot of problems to force you off the road for as long as you will be. I'm so sorry.

[@bobder41]

Wife and I have been with you since you have had 1500 follows. Keep up the good work. Enjoyed the opening of the rally. Between us When we moved from one motor home to another we had a Chinese fire drill. 4 people 6 hours. Still waiting on the t-shirts "What would Carl Do" & "What would Na NA Say" Stay Safe and thanks for making our Thursday nights special.

[@vincew9482]

The people complaining about clickbait are hilarious. If you’ve been watching them 😢regularly and have half a braincell , you’d realize they aren’t quitting the RV life. Kyle and Renee, you guys continue to do your thing and don’t cave to people like that.

[@MichaelNNY]

Some of us HAVENT been watching long. And the title IS clickbait, period. Stop making excuses for bad behavior.

[@insidedianeslife2456]

Happy Fourth. The rally looked like fun.

For all the people mad about the title, they told us in the last video they were taking it in for repairs

[@motorheart9045]

You said what I was thinking.

[@KeithR1250]

Well we knew they were going in for repairs. With the title, my thoughts were that they quit due to the extent of the repairs

[@Outlaws28]

Not everyone watches every video and we aren't up to speed with the whole saga. If they would have titled it "leaving our RV at Grand Design 2 months for repairs and we'll miss the RV life ", I may have stuck around.

[@loriw2661]

@@Outlaws28 Gotcha. Hope you’ll be ok

We were without ours for 11 weeks! You will be so happy when you get it back!

[@cybernode33]

As an avid RV enthusiast and a previous Traeger+ user, I can totally relate to the joys and challenges of RV life. However, my grilling experience truly changed when I switched to Asmoke. The convenience of a battery-powered portable pellet grill that I can use anywhere without being connected to the grid was a game-changer. I was extremely impressed by the precise temperature control Asmoke offers, ensuring consistent cooking results. Plus, the ability to remotely adjust temperature and monitor food temperature simplified the grilling process even more. But what truly sets Asmoke apart for me is the unique smoky flavor that the wood pellets impart to the food. It truly enhances the entire grilling experience, making our RV trips even more memorable. I'd definitely recommend Asmoke to any RV owner who loves grilling. #Asmoke

[@Ewookie1gj]

When I saw the title of this video, I was terrified you were actually giving up the life. I've only been following you for the last 6 to 8 months (just got 'our' TT in March), but I've been streaming a lot of your videos for insights to RVing. Extremely glad it's just temporary while your rig gets fixed.

[@michaelbellish4922]

Earlier this year we left our rig for Grand Design to work on. Totally understand the stress, the hurry, and uncertainty. I'm amazed you did all of that within your time constraints. Good job! Do anticipate it will take longer than they initially estimated. You are in good hands! Grand Design is Great!

Phew!!! I knew you could do it in the end. We all stress out but pretty much always turns out fine. Cute Air BnB!!! Watching that little snapshot of you moving into it was super relaxing. One of these days we're gonna make a rally. Timing is the culprit. By now you've gotten back in the RV and I hope it all went smoothly. Take care! 😘

People unsubscribing because of a video title? Wow, just... wow. You guys crack me up, the golf cart and truck scenes cutting back and forth were well done and damn funny. I hope y'all had a happy 4th!

It's human nature to procrastinate when it comes to doing things we're not looking forward to doing. Learning how to push ourselves to get past that and git 'er done is part of adulting. Hope your RV gets fixed and your life on the road can resume as planned. Happy Trails.

[@ladikmk]

Way too last-minute stressful for me. Since you knew you were going to be taking the RV in for repairs, why not start packing ahead of time? I'm thinking having a spare cooler on board RV in the storage area should be a necessity in case your frig goes out? It can always hold misc. supplies ahead of time until you need it to hold cold food.
