  • What are Dexter's no second chances? Great video good advice

  • I thought when we got the deals with the blacktank I thought it would be gross and my hubby would watch while I did it but we did it together and wasn't gross. It was actually quite interesting but u do need to but those air fresheners and liquid breakdown stuff in the tank to help eliminate the smells! I did not put them in right away when we got to a site and someone took a dump! 😀 When we came back from an outing, OMG!! 😮😝!!! We learned, aka I learned!

    Also, I don't get it when people leave on vacation during everyone's spring break and they post their pictures during. My husband has always said if we post to post after we get home too!! Smart Advice!! #thankshanks

  • You guys rock! I'm sharing this with a guy that works with me who is wanting to buy a 5th wheel. Be safe!!

  • How does your lifted truck tow the 5th wheels. I have an f250 with a 2in lift and 35s and just got a 5th wheels. I only have towed it a short distance but wanted to see how the lifted truck did long term. Also does your 5fh wheel sit level? With the lift and making all the adjustments I can I am slightly nose high when hitched to the truck.

  • Just found you guys. Totally crack us up! Keep up the great content and see you in Tampa!

  • Loved this one good info but I actually lol . Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I hope you are where you want to be and with who you want to be with. HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2021

  • Late to the campfire here, but you're spot on about leaving people alone when setting up or down. 40+ years of RV-n for us (not full time) and knowing better, I slipped. I was really tired after driving all day and let myself get distracted by a good intention neighbor. Usually I just go about my biz and not pay very close attention to the "visitor". I ended up connecting the city water to our black tank flush-out. I did wonder why it appeared to take a long time for the system to charge but I went about the rest of my items. About 15 minutes later a very high shriek came from the interior that may have broke a few eardrums in camp and we even had a few dogs howling. I also heard a few words I had not even heard as a Teamster truck driver many years ago.Yup; the black tank had filled and we now had Old Faithful erupting in the bathroom commode. Guess who was handed towels and bleach ? Guess who gets a lecture every time we enter a campground?

  • ADORABLES, since comments matter, here is one.
    nntc=no need to comment!

  • Always great info delivered in a fun way. You two are adorable. Can i pinch your cheeks? Lol

  • Catching up on some of your videos….great tips here👍

  • My toy hauler doesn’t have a ladder but does have an 8 foot slide. How do I get up there to clean it off?

  • Love you guys. ❤️❤️❤️
    Keep up the great work…you always make me smile!

  • Hey…Great info as i said before…I am still learning…so….tnx. We chatted about ur trk before, wheels,tires, hitch and now my question is how much lift…
    I am still trying to get a puck kit with a companion hitch to replace what i have now…and although the 5th wheel is brand new, it has a smaller than needed black tank. So tnx for tank size info! Have fun and keep filming…

  • Hi guys.. this is Shane.. with the furr babes. We have a GFCI in our GD Transcend in the bathroom will not reset.. we had the house fan plug in the bathroom with ac unit running. All of the sudden the all the power to the AC unit stopped working, living room turn off, the frig that runs on power and propane stopped working (running on propane only). We tried to reset it and the AC unit would not turn on, no tv and the frig went to straight to propane.. can you help ?

  • I just love you two!! Very entertaining but informative.

  • My truck looks a lot like yours 3.5 lift. How much air in air bag suspension .

  • I know this is old but I gotta share this. This month (7/2021), I was setting up our camper. I needed to raise the 5th wheel ever so slightly to release it from the truck. The camp host was walking by and felt obligated to say hello. Next thing I know the back of my pickup was off of the ground by around 3". I had become so distracted by the host that I forgot that the kingpin wasn't released and the camper leveling system was raising the back of the pickup.

  • Last time we were getting ready to leave our campsite, the woman from the next site just had to tell me the best place to be was on the opposite of the vehicle from her husband. No amount of explaining would convince her that didn't work for us. I realized later I didn't owe her an explanation. Now I'll be more direct but polite.

  • Thanks for your great list of "Don'ts" 5 of 5 on entertainment value. 😉
    Also:
    1. be certain to never add poison ivy to your campfire. The smoke carries plant oils.
    2. Be noisy after 10 pm
    3. Park near the dumpster
    4. Use your fresh water hose for black tank sprayer hose.
    5. Camp without a water regulator.
    6. Camp without a surge protector.
    7. Leave your trailer or hatches unlocked.
    8. Leave unattended pets with a faulty a/c.
    9. Leave trailer with wheels unlocked. (We run a bike cable lock through the front and back axle wheels). Always make your rig look harder to steel than someone else's.
    10. Don't omit silicone spray for slider seal before and after use*.
    * Not essential during rain IF you normally care for it.
    11. Don't leave LP gas connections untested. Simple spray with soapy water after gas is turned on is very cheap insurance.

  • I love you two. The thing I am having a very hard time with is making a checklist for things you do when hooking and unhooking your RV, setting up and breaking camp. My travel trailer is on order and I am trying to gather as much information as possible in preparation. I'm nervous 😁

  • We always get out the hand held radios before we start, so if I'm in the truck I can radio to my navigator Aka (Wifey)…"Ok stand clear or I cant see you, or Backing up to hitch stand clear! Alert..etc.. Cell Phones don't always work! Clip Radio to hip or shirt Turn Up Volume! 👍

  • You guys cracked me up. I worked 12 years in the ER and I can totally see you guys working in the ER. You have to be a little crazy 🤪 to work in the ER. 🤣

  • Black water tanks–LMAO: I used to camp for the summer in one particular park and there were a couple of times that people left their black water tank open. One was a couple that had just purchased their trailer and didn't have a clue…the salesman was of no help to them. I let them know the black water tank had to be closed so the digester would work and the tank wouldn't clog. Another time a guy pulled in and got set up with a good 30 feet of hose snaked across his site. The hose wasn't even in one of those slinky thingys (technical term) and he left the black tank open. I said something to him about the black water tank and he kind of went nuts saying he couldn't handle having that waste in the tank as he wrinkled his nose. (Lights were on, nobody was home.) I kind of went uh okay it will be his problem!!

  • Yes! Absolutely… Never nevva! Interrupt someone who is setting up or breaking down!

  • Omg!!! Shorts and flip flops in 2 feet of snow.

  • Lovin the videos! We're picking up our new camper friday! This is going to be a exciting experience. Trying to learn all we can. Thanks again for the great videos!

  • Good advice. 👍However, the level of unwholesome disrespect you show for each other, is cringe worthy, and predicts a short term relationship.

  • WHO on earth would give these kids a thumbs down?? Not only are they hilarious, but for their ages, I am VERY impressed with their financial sense.
