Some tips for Alaska. 2 mounted spare tires for both truck and trailer. Auxiliary fuel tank for the truck. Fuel isn't always a guarantee at a fuel station. Good set of tools, a jack and at least a 4 way wrench and/or impact wrench. Minimum of a 2000 watt generator and increase your battery bank to a minimum of 2 batteries but 4 would be better if you have room. You may find yourself between campgrounds for multiple days. You pretty much must plan on being self sufficient and only relying on yourself to get out of trouble. Help can be hundreds of miles away. Carry extra fuel filters for the truck too. Plan for anything that can leave you stranded.

Just purchased a new/used RV and being a newbie, can’t thank you enough for your videos. I love watching- all are informative, entertaining and educational!!! Keep all the videos coming👍😄

Lately my day is not complete unless I see one of your videos. I love your interactions, totally not how my husband and I interact lolol but you're a good example.

My wife and kids moved into our first RV 3 weeks ago for full time RV living and I really want to thank you guys on our behalf. We started this journey in august of 2022 and finally in May 2023 we finally made a move and purchased and we owe you a huge #thankshanks you have helped us more than you know and I hope one day in the future we get to hang out somewhere extraordinary.

About 3 weeks ago I watched one of your videos and was so amused that I was hooked. I subscribed and binge watched all the episodes up to today. I recently was vacationing in NYC and fell down a flight of stairs and broke my left foot and sprained my right ankle. I also sprained both wrists in the fall. So now I get around on a wheelchair and knee scooter. I was having a hard time getting around in my house so I decided to move into my RV. It's a lot easier to get around and I can reach things easier. The distances between rooms is also smaller. Anyway, when I get down in the dumps, I watch your videos and it cheers me up. I also love the professional video editing and wacky humor. I turned my wife onto your channel and now she's hooked. Keep up the good work.

The Happily Ever Hanks episodes keep getting better and better. PS) Glad you two finally discovered Lithium batteries.

I drove from the Dallas/Fort Worth area to Fairbanks, Alaska in April for my summer job in Denali. You are going to see the most amazing and beautiful scenery on your drive. The roads are pretty good and the frost heaves are well marked. I had the Milepost book as a guide. I’ll be heading home in late September. It was and will be the drive of a lifetime in my little Fiat 500C. Enjoy your journey!

Love your energy. So happy you guys got lithium! 🎉looking forward to your future adventures. Thanks for taking us along. ❤️

Watched this upgrade video and just installed the “rv airflow system”! It’s fantastic! So quiet, cools the camper down way faster.. Thank you for the tip and the link! Enjoy Alaska

I haven't commented in a while.. But 100% yes to the thermostat. It's so convenient and works so much better than the stock thermostats. Being in the north, sometimes you need heat and AC in the same day and I like that it has an auto feature. Most RV thermostats don't. Looking forward to hearing about your trip to Alaska. Hopefully you get some good boondocking opportunities!

I actually look forward to thursdays now!! Y’all are like family after binge watching all of your videos. Fellow nurse here but I do work from home. Just bought my first fifth wheel and I am now trying to talk the BF to go FT… he is still looking at me like I have three arms but I am working on him.

My favorite upgrades so far have been the Micro-Air thermostat, the Levelmate Pro+, the RVLock keyless entry, Pepwave Cellular router, and installing a Synology NAS with my entire video and music library installed. I love being able to turn my AC on while I'm on the way home from a day out and having it cool when I get there. I love knowing when I'm the closest to level I can get without having to get up to check my bubble level on the counter. Being able to unlock the door while I'm grabbing the groceries out of the car is fantastic. Having internet where-ever I can get a cellular signal makes it so I can work remote from just about anywhere I want to be. And when I can't get internet, I still have movies or music without taking up space and weight of a huge DVD/CD collection. My next upgrades are Victron equipment and LIFEPO4 batteries and a SeeLevel tank monitoring system. I can't wait.

Great video Thanks for all the hard work y’all do for us RV’ers

Love the ottoman bench idea to replace the dining table chairs! That’s definitely going to happen. Thanks Hanks!

How can someone not watch your videos to the end?! Love the bench storage seats! Never understood the chairs...storage is important in an RV! The bench seats are one more thing that does not have to be fastened down, which makes more fun time! Smart!

You guys are doing such a great job with the videos. Can't wait to see what things you find on your way to Alaska. That trip is definite on our bucket list.

Turn Key and Set and Forget are some of my favorite concepts.

Thanks Hanks. As always fun and informative

Once again, another awesome video guys! Love yall!
