Camping Ranger NOT Thrilled - RV Limits PUSHED
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 05. 2024
- You won't believe what we did with our RV. In this video, we're going to test the limits of a Ranger and see just how far it can go. Turns out that our actions weren't well received. This will be the last time we try this with the RV, as the park ranger made us aware this can't happen again.
Today, we also go in-depth about the stigma of making reservations with your camper. We have been RV living in Florida all winter and have not made a single reservation. Let's get real...we are gonna lay it all out.

Warning unsolicited advice
Sir, you shouldn't chew gum when you're recording, and
ma'am, you could smile more.
@Been nope, a lady does not need to smile more. Don't watch this I'd you don't like it. They film themselves as if we were with them, I appreciate how "simple" and "as is" their videos are. Please do not change anything Hanks. Thank you for your videos.
Yep we love the way they record. Like we were their friends. Which I believe a lot of viewers actually are.
How bout dat tpms..zit legit ?
Try doing it with with 30 different rigs always HDT with 57ft fifth wheel travel trailer
Traveling in a caravan is the easiest way to lose friends! It’s far too difficult to overcome all of the different travel styles, driving time, speed, bathroom breaks, food breaks, fuel stops, it’s a recipe for disaster! Share your destinations and arrival times and leave the traveling to the individuals.
Couldn't be said any better.
I agree 100%. Even when it's you and only 2 other rv'ers, every 10-minute fuel stop turns into 45 minutes.
I agree 💯. I’m kinda of adventurous and if I see something I may want to stop and check it out. Getting to the destination is part of the adventure.
👍🏻
Best advice! 😀 We are that friend...the sight-seer, the slow pace...etc. We will see you when we finally get there. Lol
WooHoo! It's Thursday again! #ThanksHanks!
Shhhh, geeze louise, it's hard enough to book at a State Park here in Florida, now you are showing how beautiful our parks are! 🤪 Even as a resident, we have to mark our calendars to remind us when we can book for the next year. We are so proud of our State and our Parks! Enjoy!💖💖
How do y'all find an open site here in FL?I look two and more times a week and they're all booked.
We are Canadian and really like your State and COE parks. Thanks Hanks. In 2018 we spent 6 months up in NWT, YK and AK...beautiful.. you are going to enjoy it. Spend time in Canada...it's a great place. We made it to the Arctic Ocean at Tuktoyaktuk. We noticed a lot of USA folks rushing to get through Canada seemingly as fast as they could to get to Alaska...take your time. S'all I can say. Have fun. Love the channel.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Your editing has become stellar!!!
Thank you guys for saving my drive by for your closing comments! I am the Airstream in your shot, so stay safe and living our lives at our speed of enjoyment
What a gorgeous Airstream!!!
We Love Y’all! 💙💙 So Happy It’s Thursday 😎👏🏻🎬🎥
Aww thank you so much 😊 You guys rock!! Much love!
@@HappilyEverHanks you guys are so inspirational we will begin our rv journey September we are so excited thank you guys so much for sharing all your knowledge and Wisdom 💙🙏
thanksHanks. I'm not a fan of caravanning for any distance especially when it is a multi-day trip. too many variables, I am an early riser and like to get rollin' asap, I like to stop every 90 minutes - 2 hours for a pee break, but, not a 15-30 minute waste of time, others like to sleep later, ease into the day, roll out at check-out time, and then make the bee-line , no stops to the next destination, there are also those that want to travel at 55MPH and others who are comfortable at 65. I prefer the caravanning style where we all stay at the same place each night, have dinner together, share our stories from the road and leave the travel portion more self-directed.
I agree Tom. If any troubles are encountered a cell phone call to update the travel crew is much better than several rigs sitting & waiting. The camping experience is what we enjoy sharing.
Hey Hanks! I’m not a fan of caravaning. Most people don’t like the idea of getting up
At 04:00 and pounding 700 miles a day like I do.
I cant believe how much I look forward to my Friday mornings to watch yalls new video drops. Been following yall for so long and still dont have an RV. YET! ;) Thank you for bringing joy to my day yall!
You guys make me and my wife want to just pick up and go explore. We just recently became full time RVers after my retirement from active duty service and now we live literally near a lake in good ol central Texas and enjoy all the beauitful views every morning. Keep up the great content it has help me and my wife adjust super easy to full time living 👍🏽🤙🏽
It's weird, normally I like 15 +/- minute videos, but for some reason, I wish the HappilyEverHanks videos were a tad bit longer. Good job guys!
Well did you want him to repeat that last 5 minutes over a few more times? 😂
Me too!
Love the Hanks! Are you still practicing nurses? Such a noble profession. I also love the honesty in the videos.
We always look forward to Thursdays. New campers here. You guys rock!!! Why was Ne Ne so quiet? 😂
Great advice for everyone, don't sweat the small stuff. Live life.
Yeah Thursday! #ThanksHanks!
Hey Tim!! :) Thank you for being so supportive!
We have caravaned and not had issues. With us being full time we just followed them and their lead, left when they did, stopped when they did. Not being in a hurry and just enjoying the trip and the people.
when my parents were alive, we used to caravan with 5 campers in a camping club. the thing we found worked best was to have the schedule of where we were going to stop and how often we were going to stop EACH DAY set up ahead of time. That way everyone had already given their buy in and there were way fewer opportunities to have a friction point. I would suggest having a meeting with everyone a couple of weeks before you actually start out.
Love you guys! We aren't full time RVers. Actually, we are retiring this year and will finally be able to do some "long" trips. We typically do four week long trips during the year fairly close to home. We have a class C and not a fifth wheel, but we have learned so much from ya'll and have saved ourselves from a few disasters.
Thank you so much for saying this ❤️ We are very happy for you guys! Keep up the travels. We appreciate all your support 🤗
Totally agree with you guys, state parks are the best! More room between rv spots, generally more wilderness.
Great videos, you guys are awesome!
Love Love Love our state parks here in Washington and Oregon! As a disabled veteran both states give us free state park camping (includes full hookup) for life and both states have numerous and wonderful parks. Really enjoy your videos.
Thanks for this info. Something I'll need to look into. Thank you for your service!
I read the rules: state res only, 30 percent service connected. 😏
That’s amazing! Good for you.
@@carolineriedlinger2904 Yes, WA is residents only but Oregon issues to non resident disabled vets. I am a resident of WA and have an Oregon disabled vet pass. Wa pass is lifetime and Or renews every 5 years.
Any know if any other states are free camping for veterans?
Loving your content more and more, wow, you guys are killing it. Every content creator has a thing… yours is storytelling. Some are cinema photography, or locations or adventure. Your day to day storytelling is engaging. Well Done!
and the funny voice and faces constantly makes me busta gut
Yes we did do a caravan, way back in 2003. We had a total of 5 rigs. It was a blast. We traveled from central California to Wyoming. We had a detailed itinerary for fuel and stopovers. We would love to do it again! Thanks for the video. Safe travels!
One more addition to our "see you at the next campground" method of caravaning. We also meet with the group the first time we're going with new folks and talk about everyone's expectations and also about these rules: 1) we're not all joined at the hip-if anyone wants a couple's date day, they're to simply say so and the 2 of them take off. 2) we don't have to all do the same thing together. 3) how you're going to do meals - which ones will be shared and how. Different groups we camp with do food differently- the couple that travels fast also eats differently than we do, so we each just do our own thing and then sometimes we eat together, but most times we eat our own food. Another group loves to do group meals. I find group meals stressful unless I know what foods everyone likes. Just clarify how you're going to do meals. On your own most days and a group thing one or twice a week or what? It helps immensely in the food packing. 4) reiterate that you're not all joined at the hip- everyone should feel free to do whatever they like. 5) EVERYONE is to be honest and open and not make people guess what they want or are thinking. No passive-agressive behavior tolerated. That exhausts my caravaning advice!.
I think that is good advice. Don't stress about it. Let the others know what you're thinking. Thanks Grandpa Jack
Thanks Hanks 🤘🤠🤘
Thanks for being here! :)
You guys really are a breath of fresh air. Thanks, Hanks! ❤️
I have done three caravans with friends and relatives. We let people drive at their own pace and we have places to stop and regather, fuel, snack and use the bathroom. I like it cause you have a crew with you when something goes wrong and someone to enjoy the sites with. On a side note, state parks are the best and not just for camping. Stay safe and enjoy!
It was so great meeting you two and talking with yall this morning. Safe travels!
You hit the nail on the head. You should never get in a hurry. Just take it as it comes. My wife Janet and I always never plan any of our trips. We have a location we would like to get to. We never know what or where we will be, this makes our travels more enjoyable.
Another real world video, Thanks for showing how full time RV life can be less stressful! It’s a learning curve and you two help with your life adventures.
Thanks again! Loved this week video.
You guys both share so much and I appreciate it. I am taking notes.
Great advice. I get turned off by making reservations a year in advance. I called a park and they returned my call and said it was a curtesy. If we want to come to Florida, make the reservations a year in advance. Especially after the hurricane hit and a lot of people scrambled for new spots. What a hassle!
I agree, I have no idea what day(s) I'll be where a year from now.
Note: very good idea to put a red cone beside your Starlink antenna, it has kept ours from getting backed over
We used to camp every weekend in Anastasia State Park in Florida. Always clean, inexpensive, quiet and beautiful.
Thanks guys. We are coming up on 1 year and so excited for year two. Safe travels.
Ahhh, thank you so much for sharing. Have fun.
I love that you haven’t gone to a residential or 12 volt fridge. So many of us can’t afford to make that upgrade. Similar to jumping into thousands of dollars in Solar. You are continuing to keep it real! Thanks Hanks❤
Get solar! You don't have to spent thousands of dollars if you do it yourself. I have 400w on my roof and all in, I've spent 600-650$. That includes controller, wiring, panels, mounting brackets, EVERYTHING! It's BY FAR the best investment I've made, as we're off grid 99% of the time.
I have 480ah agm batteries too (two 6v in series and two 12v paralleled together)
Hubby and I can’t decide which one of you is more weird…but really, we crack up when we watch you guys! Thanks for the good info and for getting us excited for more rving in 2023!
Beautiful campground. Caravan before can be fun and stressful. Safe travels!
Hey Guys! Glad you are heading towards Alaska with your peeps. Sounds like fun! Looking forward to traveling along with you both...share all the pics💙🩵💚 Love & hugs, Lisa
You are really a awsome family. Yes I enjoy the Hanks fun and silly side. But to see you as you, well I enjoy him as well. Keep on being you!
Haven't done the caravan thing yet but I retire next year so opens up more time and possibilities while traveling. Found that Colt Creek State Park last year while sampling creek outside on highway. Very nice and quiet back there. Awesome video as usual.
Just found Y’all, such fun and helps me be more relaxed about all the cray mishaps that can happen in RVing
Thanks, Hanks, Always Amazing
I've been away for awhile with surgery on my foot & ankle, it's good to be back and watching your video.
Love that you are testing before recommending. #LoveHanks,Thanks!
Caravans are okay, especially if someone has road trouble.
Love all the fun and advice!
Bonecrusher and I subscribe to the "Hanksing it" style of RV travel as well. And yes, it always seems to work out in the end. Sometimes better then what we might have tried planning in the first place. Sometimes not, lol... However, we always take away something new from each experience, which is why we enjoy the journey so much. Best of luck with the caravanning, looking forward to all the new content this year. And no Karl, Nirvanna wasn't a real 80's band, just saying my friend. ;-)
We did a caravan with two other rigs two months. We left the same time in the morning but we had a smaller rig and got better gas mileage so we would just meet up for lunch or at a planned stop. We also made more stops along the way because we were smaller and could park in cute little towns. We were sure to check into campground in time for cocktail hour. We all are still talking and would do it again. We left them in Vancouver and went to Alaska. An Epic trip for sure. You will love the journey.
My way of Caravanning is “see you there”.
We stayed at Camp Margaritaville during the Tampa show. Loved it, then a Harvest Host, then a state park in Eufaula, Alabama. Lakepoint state park was great and a nice historic town.
I hope you have a wonderful time RVing with your caravan, it seems like it would be fun traveling with friends
Hey you two crazies. Glad you had a good time in Florida. Alaska huh, sounds awesome. Over the years we often have traveled in a pack. With most of our family owning RVs road trips with 4 to 8 families involved has been how we vacationed for decades. The more the merrier. Safe travels! 🍻 Sean & Angie
Glad I found you. My wife and I are waiting for the snow to melt so we can pick up our new GD Transend. We have camped with our 4 kids in a tent trailer since 1998. The kids are out on their own and we are now ready to pull a travel trailer. Love your content learning alot.
Hope y'all are having fun! Thanks for the video. I really look forward to THUR to see what you, (and Dexter, of course), 🙂are up too.
Me too. Grandpa Jack
I'm not an RVer but I am interested in traveling. You two are wonderful people and very entertaining and educational. Thanks for sharing! I live in Florida.
Great video as always guys!
Love the fact you share driving… my husband is not comfortable driving our coach…
great feed back on caravaning . it sounds like good advice to me. Thanks Guys
Great advice- on winging it.. that’s what we end up doing.
Timely help. Ty
Awesome vid as usual!!! Love all your stuff!!! Feel like I missed the Ranger interaction mentioned in the description? Keep cranking out the great content!
Hay Carl & Nay nay
I understand all about stopping, after driving truck for 36yrs. my wife can't hold it as long as I can, I've had to learn to stop and relax.
Another good video, good information.
Keep the shiny side up.
BEST Video to date"Willie" LOL, Love the Buc-ees tank top, Caravans are crazy wagon-master, Dexter was not thrilled. Love all the video transitions...that was a great site, we need site numbers....
You two never fail to make me smile! Sixty dollars for truck stop camp is a bit pricey but at least it was clean and had some good amenities.
Clean & safe is worth the $ even though high. There are just too many “go wrongs” that could derail the adventure.
Way too much. Cracker barrel or on the street near the truck stop is free
Loving your content, and all your Antics! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Really look forward to seeing your videos! So entertaining.
Great encouraging video.
My family and friends caravanned many times. We carried CB radios in each vehicle and also hand held ones for parking the trailers onto the campsites. We all had maps in each vehicle so we all knew the route for each travel day.
Love your videos, you're probably our favorite RV couple to watch. I have to ask though, why the click bait titles recently? Your content is great please don't cheapen it.
Caravans are GREAT! Hope for safe travels across the country. I’m livin it up on the van life caravan in Arizona this winter. It’s been more positive than negative since joining a small group.
The way we caravan is to have a destination and everyone goes there on their own at their own speed. We sometimes end up at a rest area to eat lunch and one of our group is there. That's always fun. If anyone gets in trouble, another one in the group is within an hour if they need someone to turn around or catch up and help. This method of caravaning takes the stress off and keeps people from being irritated with others in the group. We run no more than 65 mph because of our toad's restriction and one couple we camp with a lot runs 70+ and tends to leave earlier than we do, so we came up with the "see you at the next campground" method. We love it!
Haven't tried caravanning but I think you will love the star link for out west ... And as a former camphost ... Why they have a couple hours between check out and in is to give workers enough time to clean 15 to 30 sites ... Excited to see your trip to Alaska
Yep! Caravaned from WA state to Yuma. It was good to go since we both travel similarly and both have dogs 👍💯
Great video!!! 😊😊
Great video, regretfully I agree with your minimalist planning lifestyle. When camping I know when I will leave home and when I plan to arrive at destination, all of the rest just has to work out, I will say that was a lot easier 30 years ago.
I agree with Robby Smith about caravanning. For me it's about leave times. Getting my wife out the door on time is hard enough. We plan trips together but travel separately. The stops are also planned, and we share trips in RV Trip wizard. See you there!!
Great video as always . Iv only traveled with on other camper on a couple occasions I see how it could be kind of difficult depending on how many rigs there are two three total may not be bad more than that I think may be kind of difficult to make decent time and keep everyone happy
Safe travels my friends.
I've had TST for four years and love it. You will, too. Really entnjoyed caravaning the few times we have done it. Telll Keith and Raini that Buzz from NASCAR said Hi.
Good video guys, Florida girl here, love our State Parks !
Howdy Hanks, hope all is well with you.
Looking forward to seeing new videos.
Stay safe out there.
Wow really nice park. Thank you for sharing.
We will be wintering in FL next year. Good to hear about the quality of their State Parks!
Done caravan with my parents quite a few times with the RV. Sure the destination is great, but the journey is pretty cool too! Wish I could full time in an RV...guess Ill have to wait til retirement.
Love your videos!!!
Love you guys! Thanks
I like how you guys roll, we hardly ever make reservations also. However we normally do Boondock with our 37 foot fifth wheel. We have gone early to our camp ground many times when we do have reservations. I do not think that we have ever been turned away. We are also heading up for Alaska this summer, I think we're leaving around mid May to head up there.
We pick up some interesting Hanksnanigans ideas from most episodes but this one was full of info! Now that we’re on the road full time, we hope to meet you some day! Safe travels!!
Great to hear about your AK trip! We left IN late Jan and slowly making our way to the Northwest. We plan to jump the border north of Seattle about the end of May and make our way to AK for the summer. Hope to meet up with you guys somewhere along the way. Have a great trip!
You're Hank's Are Awesome And Creative 😅😅😅😅😅
You are so wonderful, Larry! Thank you for your kindness!
Very much appreciate your new ‘not so crazy’ format. We’re back as subscribers again.
Hubs & I just got to our Florida campground reservations today 2/16. We’re on the panhandle for 2 weeks. Last night traveling down here from Virginia, we “Hanks-ed it” with no reservations - no problems!
We did an Alaskan caravan last year and had a blast. 22 rigs and we were fine. Be careful between Destruction bay and Tok, that road is awfull but way better then the over the world route to Chicken. You guys are gonna have a blast. Everyone traveled at their own pace on travel days with a tail gunner brining up the rear in case someone had issues.
We have done the caravan thing and it is not as bad as it seems. We got lucky and everyone was on the same stop schedule for the most part with a few exceptions. Have a safe and fun trip also We use the TST TPMS and it is amazing little pricey but worth it.
We are not full timers but we have traveled with our friends in a "caravan". We always make our plans for fuel stops and food in advance and unless someone has a need for an extra stop we stick to our plans. If someone in the group needs to stop before our planned stop, we just communicate through the cell phone and let everyone know and then we decide whether we will all stop or just let the ones that needed to stop catch up with us (that is usually what we do unless it was an emergency stop and in that case, as friends, we stop also and make sure our friends are ok). Love watching you young people travel across the country.
Another great video!
Ney Ney was unusually quiet today! Is she feeling ok?? Or is Carl just being a video hog?? 😂😂😂😂 Dexter looked like he wanted to rip you a new one when you called him stinky butt!! 🤪🤪 Happy Camping and Safe Travels ❤️❤️❤️ #ThanksHanks
Totally relatable... we leave Michigan in 4 weeks to head down to Orlando for a week with Mickey and grandkids. Then a few weeks in Bradenton.
As always another informative video. I like how ya'll keep it real and try things out before you let us know about it. The internet starling is an interesting opportunity and I've listened to others tLk about it and I'm looking forward to seeing what your take is.
