@@marcelcaruana6891 It is holding up great! The rig itself is really solid and has all the amenities we could ever want while on the road. Having the heated underbelly is really nice for colder temperatures as well. We are so excited for you guys!! What kind of traveling do you guys plan on doing with the Solitude? Are you guys going to do part time or full time RV living? 😃
Hey fellow Solitude S-classers. I just found your channel today and it looks like I have a few hours of videos to watch now. My wife and I are weekend glampers in our 2020 2930 RL-R and we absolutely love this brand and floorplan. I have a couple of questions about some mods you have made (if you detail these out in another video, please direct me the appropriate one). First, I have had some issues with the "waterfall" faucet our camper came with, in the bathroom. The original one only had a trickle of water coming out. Grand Design sent a replacement, which has much better flow but now at random times will spit water straight out at my and gets my clothes wet. Can you share info on the faucet you installed in your and what you had to do to get power for the light? Secondly, I agree the lighting in the pantry needs some improvement. Can you share what lights you installed? I am assuming you tapped into the wiring for the pantry light for the power source??? Thanks, Chris
@@chrisrivest5459 Hey Chris! 😃👋🏼 Congrats to you both on your new Solitude!! Love that you are part of the Grand Design family Sorry to hear about your recent run in with the water faucet 😕We really like ours, the light comes from a battery located in the faucet head of the unit.

Your humor in the videos is so refreshing. I am just beginning to decide on the rig for us. Thanks for sharing. Your Keystone video had me in stitches😂
thank you so much! It is so nice to meet you :) have you guys kinda figure out what kind of rig you want to get one day? We like our 5th wheel, it’s been a really comfy home on wheels ❤️ - Renee and Kyle
I’ve recently started getting into watching these videos about people living in rvs and vans. Your life seems pretty lux compared to a lot of other ones I’ve seen.
Ahhh that kitchen is huge! Can't imagine how big it feels coming from a 2150. Great storage tips too! We used that same 3 drawer storage from Walmart in ours for awhile too 😁 Love your energy you guys 🤗
We love how big the kitchen is and how open the floor plan is! Our cat really enjoys the larger rig. More windows to stare at more birds 😂. Thank you for the support!
Very nice. Debbie does the same thing with her spices. The first thing we did to our travel trailer, was to remove the dinette and build a computer station. WE LOVE IT! It gives us more desk top and more open space, but we did lose a little storage under the two benches. You do have lots-0-counter space, sweet! Command Strips and the best, huh? Love you cat, so adorable! Our cats don't travel well. Bye Dexter. You two are way cool Great tour. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thank you so much! We were actually thinking of taking out the back couch and putting in an office space since our channel is growing more and more, we spend a lot of time in front of a computer now! We should buy stocks in command strips! 😃~Renee and Kyle
This is awesome to hear Brian!! We are glad you enjoyed the tour 😃Keep us updated on how things go, we would love to hear what rig you end up purchasing!!! Talk to you again soon friend 🙂👋🏼
We are planning to buy are first RV and it’s a used 2018 Solitude 310GK. Looks a lot like yours. We are so excited and your videos are so informative. Thanks for all you share about Rv living. We are a close to retiring couple wit a small dog and cat. Looking forward to the RV life…Patty in VA
Happy Place Diaries thank you guys so much, we had a great time filming this one 🤣 you guys are so great for watching and commenting ❤️ - Renee and Kyle
Very beautiful rig you have. Love that there is no wasted space. Glad I found you guys as you’re very informative of a lot of different things. I will now add Grand Design to look at also for my first purchase!
Thank you very much! We really tried to pack things in tightly here and make the most use out of all the space provided. Keep us updated on how your search goes, we want to hear all about it 😀
I know this is old but I’m shopping for fivers and I really like your coach. I’m solo, so I’d rattle around in there but I’d be full timing too. Thanks for the fun tour!
Oh, I love that window above the bed! It's the ONE thing that I wish we had in our rig... which, totally wouldn't work with our floor plan... maybe we can just cut a big hole in the ceiling? Beautiful RV, guys!
Hey you might just be onto something there 😉 just kidding! Thank you guys so much for you support! Feel free to subscribe if ya guys feel like this channel is your vibe! We absolutely love the Grand Design series!! You guys absolutely rock for taking time to check us out. Stay safe and happy trails ❤️
We are getting closer by the day! Can’t wait!! This is only because of amazing people like you. We can’t thank you enough for the support and taking the time to watch our videos through ❤️🥰
Just found your channel. Love the energy and enthusiasm. Can't wait to get through all the videos. It would be awesome to live full time RV and experience so much, but it's all new to me.
Well Cory you found the right place! Renee and I are bringing everything to the table to kick start that inspiration for you to make it happen 😃 we are all about bringing the best free content to help you understand everything related to living small in an RV, while experiencing BIG. Feel free to reach out to Renee or I anytime with content you would like to see in the future or questions you might have! Much love and appreciation for the support you are showing. We want the best for you, welcome! - Kyle and Renee 😊
Awww thank you!! We tried to make it as engaging as possible to help it feel like you were getting a tour in person 😄King Dexter loves his kingdom lol Thank you so much for watching Christina!!
Yep, I already was telling hubby that I wanted a clap-on fireplace cause I had paused the video... so funny! Great video! Love your model! We love our Grand Design too!
LOL we are so glad you guys liked it 😄Grand Design is absolutely a phenomenal brand and has a lot of amenities to offer. We really like yours as well! That middle bunkhouse is just spot on 👏🏼🙌🏼- Kyle and Renee
You two are great! I'm not at all surprised you are nurses, angels on earth. We just bought a Solitude and appreciate all the info, tips and charming entertainment. I subscribed and a big 👍Happy journeys!
Hey Pat! It's so great to meet you 😃We can't thank you enough for taking the time to comment, it means a lot to us Are you currently living the RV life?
@@HappilyEverHanks Yes, we just went full time 1/25/21. We’re nearing retirement so have a while left to hang out in and around OR. Luckily there are many wonderful places to hang out here! I watched another of your videos and noticed another larger Dead Guy sticker on the fridge. Did you visit one of the Rogue locations in OR?
Congratulations to you Pat!! That's fantastic! Isn't that the truth, we just left Bend, Oregon not too long ago and it is one of our favorite places to visit. Rogue for the win!! We absolutely love Rogue, but we haven't visited one of the breweries yet. Maybe we will have to meet ya'll sometime when we get back there and go have a beer 🙂🍻
We are going on the road full time as soon as wife retires. After 45 years in medicine we both need a break! Ordering Grand Design Momentum 397th fully loaded, we are going with our two Great Danes. Found you by watching Less Junk, More Journey and love Grand Design.
Hey John! That is awesome! I bet! That is a long time in the medical field. My wife and I are both Emergency Nurses (travelers). You guys are doing it right, Grand Design has been incredible to us. When do you plan on hitting the road?? Less Junk, More Journey are amazing! - Kyle and Renee
@@HappilyEverHanks We will see over the next week or two after a whole host of testing. She is now mad at me for even talking about retirement, as her health jumped out to knock down her joy over the building plan of a fun retirement. Still going to place order for the Grand Design 397th and hope it all works out. We will park at her sister's farm if we have to stay here, as that is the plan as we pass by in our travels (our new home base).
@@johnh8028 Hoping that she has a speedy recovery. That is scary. We hope that you both can get on the road soon in your new Grand Design! Would love to see you guys on the road. Stay strong, keep us updated with how things go. We will be thinking of you both, warm wishes - Kyle and Renee
Yeah the front cap window really made the rig look more open which we love! It definitely sold us on the rig when we were first purchasing it! Thank you so much! Dexter is a spoiled cat thats for sure! 😸
Just found you kids ! I’m a retired pediatric PT and my husband a retired FF. We have a GD Reflection 337. We love it ! We travel with two BIG dogs 🤦♀️ Safe travels, I’ll be binge watching til I catch up !
Hey there!! This is so wonderful to hear!! 😃🙌🏼 It’s great to meet you guys! Love that you are rocking the 337 RLS (we almost bought that unit) We hope that we can continue to hear from you on other videos as well! Your comments mean so much to us!! 🙂👋🏼
Hi guys love your videos. My wife and I are looking at purchasing a 2014 GD Reflection 337 and I’m wondering why you decided on the 2930 RL instead I will be towing it with a 3500 ram Thangs for any input you have.
Thank you so much for your videos. My wife and I are looking at the GD Solitude 380FL and going FT in a couple of years when we retire. I am much more educated because of you both.
Hey Len! Wow, this means so much to us! What an awesome thing to look forward to for you both. It’s great to meet you and we hope we hear from you again soon 😊 - Kyle and Renee
Thank you so much for the support 😊 We try to keep it fun with our videos! We will be keeping an eye out for more of your adventures as well! Happy trails and safe travels guys!
I think this was my first official tour of your new RV! So much roomier than the old rig. Great video guys! You almost have me sold to join the RV fam ;)
That was hilarious. loved the lights in the pantry. 👍 Light-up faucet. 👍 Kyle, YOU are setting the bar too high. [Jodi, no I can't do that. I don't know how. Yes,, Kyle can do it. I understand. Geesh! 😉 ] That was a great tour and Renee your Vanna White moments were awesome. The fireplace gag was fantastic. I would hate to say you got me, but you did. You had us laughing all the way through it. Say good night Dexter. Dexter? DEXTER? ❤️👍👏 Donovan & Jodi
😂Ahh you guys are too awesome!! We really try to have fun with the videos as much as possible! I like how both are channels are geared around keeping it light and fun!! You guys are fantastic! Thank you for watching and commenting 😃
Great walkthrough! I love the window above the bed! You could wake up to the stars. Your main living is set up nearly identical to ours. That’s where all the living happens, right?! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you guys!! We absolutely love our home, and yes the window really makes the living space pop! We also really enjoyed the upgrade from a travel trailer now that we have a center island and more slide outs 😊Thanks for commenting guys! - Kyle and Renee
Makes me want to run out and get a 5th-wheel. Too bad they are just too hard to manuever when solo traveling/parking. I love my MH, but jeesh... all that gorgeous room you have! Thanks for the tour!
So I've been binge watching your videos..I did comment on the first video that introduced me to your channel. I have a 2020 artic fox truck camper. It's my our home. Now the our in our home is my pug we are together 24/7 had her 14 years now and she's 15 years young. Now looking at your domicile on wheels envious of your space. It's beautiful.. now the reason I went with a0 truck camper is 1 its all in one and it's compact. Being I live in Canada and on the west coast I needed a 4 season camper. Now its roomy and lots of storage but not great storage. It's small. My kitchen shtoof(stuff) 😋 is cramped especially for big stuff but getting by. The other reason for the truck camper is of where I park it when I go to work. See I'm a truck driver of 26 years on the road. So I do a lot of boon docking. About 2 years worth. But im set up for this. On board generator, solar 50 gallons of fresh and 38 of grey and 18 of black. So im good for my time off which is only a couple of days. Still trying to figure out some storage ideas. But I get figured soon enough. Loving you both, love the big happy energy and funny side vibe.
Hey Bryan!! It's so great to hear from you again 😃🙌🏼Your pug sounds adorable, what's her name? Love hearing about your setup that you have with your truck camper!! Nice work on doing a lot of boondocking, we have been wanting to venture into this lifestyle more so as the time goes by. It seems really nice to get off grid! We really appreciate your wonderful comments and feedback!! Keep these great comments coming on other videos, they mean so much Bryan!!
Hey Manon! Thank you so much ❤️We hope you like our other videos 😂We tend to keep it on the funnier side of things. It's so nice to meet you, we hope we can hear from you again soon! Cheers Manon! - Renee and Kyle
This is one of our top floorplans as we look at possibly upgrading. I just wish it came with the king bed option... we get spoiled by our mattress at home! That bathroom and kitchen tho... so much room!
We have loved being able to live in the 2930 RL! This has provided us with so much room and luxury 😊We hear ya on the mattress, we can't live without the Tempur Pedic! Thank you guys for watching, it means so much 😃- Kyle and Renee
Yeah the LED lights are amazing lol 😄😄 we didn’t think people would buy into the clapper but it has paid off! Thanks for commenting bro, you support is awesome 😊 miss ya man
Thank you so much for coming and joining us on our adventures! We try to keep it laid back and fun ❤️ We appreciate your support so much!! You guys are awesome!
Very nice RV, we have a 2020 Jayco Eagle HT 28.5RSTS 33'ft 5th wheel and I pull it with a 2018 Ram 2500 mega cab 3/4-ton 6.7 Cummins Turbo Diesel with the i6 transmission and this probably means nothing to you LOL. Anyway, the RV looks almost like yours just in reverse and it has the clap on fireplace just like yours LOL. #THANKSHANKS for sharing wishing you safe travels.
We are in love with our Solitude S class 2930RL as well! We just sold our house and went full-time! We are working on some furniture mods to make our cat and dog even more cozy! This video was so helpful for us especially since we are rig twinsies! Thanks! Hope our paths cross one day!
@@HappilyEverHanks We are Scott & Alicia, 🐈 Juneau & 🐕 Dakota. Nice to meet you! Will you be doing any meetups? We just signed up for RV Miles first meetup and are stoked to meet new people who full-time.
Hey Scott and Alicia! Love your fur babies names 😊🙌🏼 We do meet-ups for sure. If you guys ever want to be notified of where we will be doing one in the future, we will leave a link below Stay safe out there on the road, we look forward to hearing from you guys again soon 😃✌🏼 www.happilyeverhanks.com/contactus
Love your description of your R V. Storage and the bathroom was our big concern. We went with a 2021, 260rd grand design 5th. Love it. Will be looking at yours. Love it also. Happy 4th. 👍🙏❤️🇺🇸
Thank you so much Rusty!! We are so happy to see that you are going back and watching our older videos 😀🙌🏼LOVE that you guys went with the Grand Design 260RD! You guys must have a beautiful rig! We are so happy for you ❤️ We really enjoy hearing your feedback!! Keep it coming, much love from the Hanks! Happy 4th to you as well 😊
Where do you hide the litter box? I may but a litter robot which is wayyy too big to hide but stays smell free because it never smells! I love em! But if I can think of a way to hide a traditional litter box I'd like to go that route. 😊
Hi Jason! 🙂 Thank you for your support. We actually made an entire video about this and also traveling full time with cats. Hopefully it can be of some heIp. I will leave it linked here for you - ua-cam.com/video/AcR_X_HuOdY/v-deo.html
Great looking rig. If I had one even half as nice I could live in it for many years. Several years ago I did have a campervan but it was super ghetto and I hated not being able to stand up in it. If I ever get one again I have to make sure I can stand up and it will have to have a shower too.
Thank you David! We sure do love our home on wheels. That is so awesome that you had a camper van awhile ago! That must have been a neat experience (even though you couldn't stand up). Having that flexibility to pull in wherever must be a great feeling haha! Thank you for sharing David 😃We hope to talk again soon!
We have storage above the couch (I believe it's fairly similar to your layout of the 310 GK). Also when you take the back of the couch cushions off and initially pull out the couch, there is some storage that is found underneath where people would normally sit on the couch. Hope that makes sense 😄You guys have a pull out couch right?
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!! You guys do such a great job with these! We need to meet! I want to pick your brain! We love Grand Design and now we wish that is what we bought to start with. We've been in our rig two years now and we are going to trade it in on a Grand Design. However, we do have a king size bed and that is something we can not give up. So that is something we will look for on the trade in. Yours is a beautiful rig. We love all the counter space! We both love to cook, so an island kitchen with lots of counter space is a must! And the space for the Keurig is important. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate the support! I think we have the perfect GD rig for you since we have looked at so many...The Reflection 5th wheel 337RLS lots of counter space and it has the option for a king size bed. 👍🏼Are you guys looking for a pull behind or 5th wheel?... because I have lots to recommend! All the counter space never gets old that why we drool over it in the video lol 😆. The open floor plan is amazing too, we love to cook but also love to cook when you can talk to your guests in one open room at the same time! ~Renee and Kyle
@@HappilyEverHanks If you are curious, our current rig is a Sporttrek 333vfk pull behind. Lots of open space and counter space. We are looking at trading up to a 5th wheel. I'll check out the reflection you mentioned. Thanks!
@@TheNorthwestTravelers The Reflection is really nice or also look into the Solitude 310GK (really popular model). The Solitude has more residential fixtures and such, so the price tag will be a bit more. Thank you guys for sharing! Keep us updated with how things go on the upgrade, we will keep an eye out for some videos coming 😉 - Kyle and Renee
I have watched 3 YEARS of RV videos in preparation of buying one next year... and this is hands down my favorite! So FUN! You are so cute! This is my dream rig - but terrified of towing it - almost 60 yrs old and solo female. 😂 I may have to stick with a Class C. 😒
WHAT!! This is so awesome to hear 😊👍🏼 you would totally rock towing this! Do you have a truck already? Renee and I started off towing a 27 foot travel trailer and the fifth wheel tows a lot nicer. Having it sit over the rear axle really helps take the sway out of the ride. Also the fifth wheel is SUPER easy to hook up. It has auto leveling and was so much quicker than hooking up a travel trailer. Tell us a little more about yourself! What kind of lifestyle are you looking for? Full time or part time? Renee and I don’t have any experience with a class C, but I am sure they are really nice as well 😃 we greatly appreciate your comment, you just made our day and brought the biggest smiles to our faces! Much love from the Hanks family to you - Kyle, Renee and Dexter ❤️
HappilyEverHanks yeah right now we’re just testing the waters and using our RV we just got recently as a way to (hopefully) travel more. We have a few reasons to stay part time for now but that may change in a year or 2. We’re hoping to RV for about a month in December and take some more trips soon. This is what we have now: ua-cam.com/video/bpi4HQvG2sI/v-deo.html
Wow love your set up!! Keep us updated when you end up going full time, that will be exciting for you guys! Thank you so much for your support 😊 we are subscribed to you, we can’t wait to see more of your adventures to come!
Appreciate your videos and candor. I have watched a number of your videos, but have not seen why you chose the 2930RL? You talk about the many things you like, which is helpful, but on your current trip with your friends to Alaska, they have a Solitude. I know it is bigger than yours, but other than size, are there amenities theirs has that you have thought "that would be nice to have in ours"? The 2930RL is on our short list, but so is the 310GK. Also, have you missed not having a washer and dryer (it seems you are using that space for the shoe storage?). Thanks again for all the videos.
Fantastic RV! Can you do a video on your truck? I'm looking at 5th wheels and trucks and all of the information and debate on SRW vs DRW and Gas vs Diesel and do you really need something that can tow a 30,000 pound 5th wheel when you are only panning on a 15,000 pound one.
That’s a great idea for a video! Just need to keep track of RV weight and plus not overloading the RV in general. The tires and axels on the rig are only rated for so much weight whether the truck can pull it or not! A lot of peeps forget that! We highly recommend diesel and at least 2500 but if more than 15,000 will probably need a dually 3500. It all depends though, each truck and RV is different! Thanks for watching!
You guys are really entertaining and educational! I'm glad to have run into your channel. Quick question. How do you replace large appliances and furniture in and out of the RV? Oh and kudos for the Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce in the fridge. Lol
Hey Ray! Thank you so much for the awesome support! It means a great deal to our family! Replacing items like the recliners or couch are really easy. I foresee the biggest obstacle would be finding a way to fit the furniture though the door and maneuvering around the kitchen island and such. The nice part if you can replace any furniture pieces that you want! I know that people have put La-z-boy chairs in or set up full work spaces including a desk. The options are endless as long as you don't go over weight restrictions of the RV itself. To be honest, I couldn't say on the appliances part. Things like switching the RV fridge for a residential fridge can take place, but I wouldn't know how much work would be involved in the electric. I do however know that once you put in a residential fridge, you would no longer have the option to keep your fridge cold via propane (like you would with a typical RV fridge). I hope that some of this answered your questions, feel free to reach out to us anytime with more questions! We hope we can hear from you again soon Ray! Cheers! - Kyle and Renee
You two do GREAT videos!! You have the filming (what did you use to film the washing the dishes) And I have the same spice bin lol and editing and camera presence WOW... you two are so cute and very entertaining tour!! You two should have a 1000 subs And I need to know more about the tray at 6:06!! ~ Brad and Diana
Thank you guys from the bottom of our heart, it truly means so much that with your supportive comments 😃 We try to keep our videos light and fun! For filming while washing the dishes, we used a GoPro Hero 8! We are trying to get to 1k as best as we can!! It would be such an incredible goal to reach! As far as the swivel tables, those actually came with our style rig! They are like little tv tray tables and are super fun! As you can see, if you don't want them you can just remove them and store them elsewhere LOL Brad and Diana you guys are AWESOME!! ❤️ - Renee and Kyle
We have been thinking a separate room for a guest (like a bunkhouse room) would be really nice 😃 Other than that, we really love this model!! Thank you guys so much! It's always so great hearing from you ❤️

Hey fellow Solitude S-classers. I just found your channel today and it looks like I have a few hours of videos to watch now. My wife and I are weekend glampers in our 2020 2930 RL-R and we absolutely love this brand and floorplan. I have a couple of questions about some mods you have made (if you detail these out in another video, please direct me the appropriate one). First, I have had some issues with the "waterfall" faucet our camper came with, in the bathroom. The original one only had a trickle of water coming out. Grand Design sent a replacement, which has much better flow but now at random times will spit water straight out at my and gets my clothes wet. Can you share info on the faucet you installed in your and what you had to do to get power for the light? Secondly, I agree the lighting in the pantry needs some improvement.

Renee!!! You are such a hoot to watch...lol! This tour is one of my favorite Hank videos. Loved it!
Thank you so much Brenda!! 😊😊🙌🏼 YOU ROCK!!!
Ahhh that kitchen is huge! Can't imagine how big it feels coming from a 2150. Great storage tips too! We used that same 3 drawer storage from Walmart in ours for awhile too 😁 Love your energy you guys 🤗
We love how big the kitchen is and how open the floor plan is! Our cat really enjoys the larger rig. More windows to stare at more birds 😂. Thank you for the support!
Very nice. Debbie does the same thing with her spices. The first thing we did to our travel trailer, was to remove the dinette and build a computer station. WE LOVE IT! It gives us more desk top and more open space, but we did lose a little storage under the two benches. You do have lots-0-counter space, sweet! Command Strips and the best, huh? Love you cat, so adorable! Our cats don't travel well. Bye Dexter. You two are way cool Great tour. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thank you so much! We were actually thinking of taking out the back couch and putting in an office space since our channel is growing more and more, we spend a lot of time in front of a computer now! We should buy stocks in command strips! 😃~Renee and Kyle
I love you showing us inside of your RV! Thinking about Buying my own Grand Design

Very beautiful rig you have. Love that there is no wasted space. Glad I found you guys as you’re very informative of a lot of different things. I will now add Grand Design to look at also for my first purchase!
Thank you very much! We really tried to pack things in tightly here and make the most use out of all the space provided. Keep us updated on how your search goes, we want to hear all about it 😀
I know this is old but I’m shopping for fivers and I really like your coach. I’m solo, so I’d rattle around in there but I’d be full timing too. Thanks for the fun tour!
Oh, I love that window above the bed! It's the ONE thing that I wish we had in our rig... which, totally wouldn't work with our floor plan... maybe we can just cut a big hole in the ceiling?
Beautiful RV, guys!

What kind of truck do y’all have to pull.?
Hey Philip! We own a 3/4 ton diesel 😃
I believe this is the absolute best RV tour I've seen yet! You,guys have a beautiful RV!! So nice and roomy!! And I think Dexter likes it too!!
Awww thank you!! We tried to make it as engaging as possible to help it feel like you were getting a tour in person 😄King Dexter loves his kingdom lol Thank you so much for watching Christina!!
Yep, I already was telling hubby that I wanted a clap-on fireplace cause I had paused the video... so funny!
Great video! Love your model!
We love our Grand Design too!
LOL we are so glad you guys liked it 😄Grand Design is absolutely a phenomenal brand and has a lot of amenities to offer. We really like yours as well! That middle bunkhouse is just spot on 👏🏼🙌🏼- Kyle and Renee
I’ve never wanted to travel full time till this moment. WOW.
You guys should buy and RV and come travel with us 😉So much fun!
You two are great! I'm not at all surprised you are nurses, angels on earth. We just bought a Solitude and appreciate all the info, tips and charming entertainment. I subscribed and a big 👍Happy journeys!

Great stuff you two, just started watching your videos and have really enjoyed them and your sense of humor...Glad to see more Dead Guy fans!
Hey Pat! It's so great to meet you 😃We can't thank you enough for taking the time to comment, it means a lot to us
Are you currently living the RV life?
@@HappilyEverHanks Yes, we just went full time 1/25/21. We’re nearing retirement so have a while left to hang out in and around OR. Luckily there are many wonderful places to hang out here! I watched another of your videos and noticed another larger Dead Guy sticker on the fridge. Did you visit one of the Rogue locations in OR?
Congratulations to you Pat!! That's fantastic! Isn't that the truth, we just left Bend, Oregon not too long ago and it is one of our favorite places to visit.
Rogue for the win!! We absolutely love Rogue, but we haven't visited one of the breweries yet. Maybe we will have to meet ya'll sometime when we get back there and go have a beer 🙂🍻
Awesome video man! Love the RV!!
Thanks dude!! 😎👍🏼
Love this. Love you guys. Hehe. I’ll probably watch this all again. So cute and funny
Thank you so much! Love you too! We appreciate the feedback!!
😁 That tour was so much fun!! 😁 Excited to see more of your videos!! 😉
Thank you guys 😊👍🏼 your support means so much to us!! ❤️😃 - Renee and Kyle
We are going on the road full time as soon as wife retires. After 45 years in medicine we both need a break! Ordering Grand Design Momentum 397th fully loaded, we are going with our two Great Danes. Found you by watching Less Junk, More Journey and love Grand Design.
Hey John! That is awesome! I bet! That is a long time in the medical field. My wife and I are both Emergency Nurses (travelers). You guys are doing it right, Grand Design has been incredible to us. When do you plan on hitting the road?? Less Junk, More Journey are amazing! - Kyle and Renee
@@HappilyEverHanks Just got the shoe up side my head! She had a heart attack yesterday!
@@johnh8028 No 🥺 I’m so sorry!!! Is she ok??
@@HappilyEverHanks We will see over the next week or two after a whole host of testing. She is now mad at me for even talking about retirement, as her health jumped out to knock down her joy over the building plan of a fun retirement. Still going to place order for the Grand Design 397th and hope it all works out. We will park at her sister's farm if we have to stay here, as that is the plan as we pass by in our travels (our new home base).
@@johnh8028 Hoping that she has a speedy recovery. That is scary. We hope that you both can get on the road soon in your new Grand Design! Would love to see you guys on the road. Stay strong, keep us updated with how things go. We will be thinking of you both, warm wishes - Kyle and Renee
Love your rig! Love that front cap window! Dexter is so cute! 👍
Yeah the front cap window really made the rig look more open which we love! It definitely sold us on the rig when we were first purchasing it! Thank you so much! Dexter is a spoiled cat thats for sure! 😸
Love this design!!
Awesome video guys! Very well done ;)
Thank you Beau! This video took some time to make 😅
Hi great intro and great tour found you from Longhaul lifesavers and now friends keep up the good work
Thank you guys for stopping by! Look forward to seeing you guys more 😊👍🏼 - Kyle and Renee
Just found you kids ! I’m a retired pediatric PT and my husband a retired FF. We have a GD Reflection 337. We love it ! We travel with two BIG dogs 🤦♀️
Safe travels, I’ll be binge watching til I catch up !
Hey there!! This is so wonderful to hear!! 😃🙌🏼 It’s great to meet you guys! Love that you are rocking the 337 RLS (we almost bought that unit)
We hope that we can continue to hear from you on other videos as well! Your comments mean so much to us!! 🙂👋🏼
Hi guys love your videos. My wife and I are looking at purchasing a 2014 GD Reflection 337 and I’m wondering why you decided on the 2930 RL instead I will be towing it with a 3500 ram Thangs for any input you have.
Thank you so much for your videos. My wife and I are looking at the GD Solitude 380FL and going FT in a couple of years when we retire. I am much more educated because of you both.
Hey Len! Wow, this means so much to us! What an awesome thing to look forward to for you both. It’s great to meet you and we hope we hear from you again soon 😊 - Kyle and Renee
We have a 2022 Solitude and LOVE IT!!!
Oh how awesome!! We are so happy to hear about this 🤗 Hope to see ya'll!

Thank you so much for the support 😊 We try to keep it fun with our videos! We will be keeping an eye out for more of your adventures as well! Happy trails and safe travels guys!
I think this was my first official tour of your new RV! So much roomier than the old rig. Great video guys! You almost have me sold to join the RV fam ;)
Thanks Courtney! As you should, we could be neighbors 😁
I like the LED idea. Nice job you two. Oh and "the Cat" lol
Thank you Scott 😄 so glad you watched and commented!!
That was hilarious. loved the lights in the pantry. 👍 Light-up faucet. 👍 Kyle, YOU are setting the bar too high. [Jodi, no I can't do that. I don't know how. Yes,, Kyle can do it. I understand. Geesh! 😉 ] That was a great tour and Renee your Vanna White moments were awesome. The fireplace gag was fantastic. I would hate to say you got me, but you did. You had us laughing all the way through it. Say good night Dexter. Dexter? DEXTER? ❤️👍👏 Donovan & Jodi
😂Ahh you guys are too awesome!! We really try to have fun with the videos as much as possible! I like how both are channels are geared around keeping it light and fun!! You guys are fantastic! Thank you for watching and commenting 😃
Great walkthrough! I love the window above the bed! You could wake up to the stars. Your main living is set up nearly identical to ours. That’s where all the living happens, right?! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you guys!! We absolutely love our home, and yes the window really makes the living space pop! We also really enjoyed the upgrade from a travel trailer now that we have a center island and more slide outs 😊Thanks for commenting guys! - Kyle and Renee
Y'all are hysterical! Love it😁
Jenna! We so appreciate you 🥰You seriously ROCK!
Awesome job you two!!!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
You two are the best!
Thanks for the love and support Sophie! 😃
Makes me want to run out and get a 5th-wheel. Too bad they are just too hard to manuever when solo traveling/parking. I love my MH, but jeesh... all that gorgeous room you have! Thanks for the tour!
enjoy your videos very much very enjoyable you two are meant to be together we mean that in the nicest way keep doing what you like
Beautiful RV you guys have!

Thank you for joining the Hanks!
Great tour! looking forward to watching more videos.
Thank you for watching! Appreciate the feedback 😃
So I've been binge watching your videos..I did comment on the first video that introduced me to your channel. I have a 2020 artic fox truck camper. It's my our home. Now the our in our home is my pug we are together 24/7 had her 14 years now and she's 15 years young. Now looking at your domicile on wheels envious of your space. It's beautiful.. now the reason I went with a0 truck camper is 1 its all in one and it's compact. Being I live in Canada and on the west coast I needed a 4 season camper. Now its roomy and lots of storage but not great storage. It's small. My kitchen shtoof(stuff) 😋 is cramped especially for big stuff but getting by. The other reason for the truck camper is of where I park it when I go to work. See I'm a truck driver of 26 years on the road. So I do a lot of boon docking. About 2 years worth. But im set up for this. On board generator, solar 50 gallons of fresh and 38 of grey and 18 of black. So im good for my time off which is only a couple of days. Still trying to figure out some storage ideas. But I get figured soon enough. Loving you both, love the big happy energy and funny side vibe.
Hey Bryan!! It's so great to hear from you again 😃🙌🏼Your pug sounds adorable, what's her name?
Love hearing about your setup that you have with your truck camper!! Nice work on doing a lot of boondocking, we have been wanting to venture into this lifestyle more so as the time goes by. It seems really nice to get off grid! We really appreciate your wonderful comments and feedback!! Keep these great comments coming on other videos, they mean so much Bryan!!
Just discover your Chanel: LOVE IT! 💜💜 You are so cool !! Renée is so funny!!
Hey Manon! Thank you so much ❤️We hope you like our other videos 😂We tend to keep it on the funnier side of things.
It's so nice to meet you, we hope we can hear from you again soon! Cheers Manon! - Renee and Kyle
You guys are great! Fun video specially the clapper! That was hilarious! Lol:D
Haha! So glad you got a kick out of that 😄 thank you!!
This is one of our top floorplans as we look at possibly upgrading. I just wish it came with the king bed option... we get spoiled by our mattress at home! That bathroom and kitchen tho... so much room!
We have loved being able to live in the 2930 RL! This has provided us with so much room and luxury 😊We hear ya on the mattress, we can't live without the Tempur Pedic! Thank you guys for watching, it means so much 😃- Kyle and Renee
it has a king bed option
OMG totally got me with the clap on fire place
LOL it worked! 😄 The clap on was Kyle's idea lol Such a fun time, best to you Gene!
LED lights for the win!!! The clapper got me!! Lmaooooooo
Yeah the LED lights are amazing lol 😄😄 we didn’t think people would buy into the clapper but it has paid off! Thanks for commenting bro, you support is awesome 😊 miss ya man
Hello guys!!! Love your channel, btw!! How cool that you are travel nurses! We look forward to keeping up with your adventures. ❤
Thank you so much for coming and joining us on our adventures! We try to keep it laid back and fun ❤️ We appreciate your support so much!! You guys are awesome!
Siamese Cats are the best. Dexter is awesome.

Thank you so much for the support!!! You guys rock 💙
Catching up on your previous videos and wow your RV is gorgeous! Thanks for the tour!
Awww thank you guys so much!! We really love it and couldn’t be happier with the home on wheels 😊👍🏼 we appreciate you guys ❤️ - Renee and Kyle
Awesome rv guys you doit the best for your life.have a good times there.
Thank you!! Your support is wonderful 😃
Very nice RV, we have a 2020 Jayco Eagle HT 28.5RSTS 33'ft 5th wheel and I pull it with a 2018 Ram 2500 mega cab 3/4-ton 6.7 Cummins Turbo Diesel with the i6 transmission and this probably means nothing to you LOL. Anyway, the RV looks almost like yours just in reverse and it has the clap on fireplace just like yours LOL. #THANKSHANKS for sharing wishing you safe travels.
That's so great 🤣
We are in love with our Solitude S class 2930RL as well! We just sold our house and went full-time! We are working on some furniture mods to make our cat and dog even more cozy! This video was so helpful for us especially since we are rig twinsies! Thanks! Hope our paths cross one day!
NICE!! We are so happy for you guys! Nice rig by the way 😉 we definitely hope our paths can cross as well!
What are your names by the way?
@@HappilyEverHanks We are Scott & Alicia, 🐈 Juneau & 🐕 Dakota. Nice to meet you! Will you be doing any meetups? We just signed up for RV Miles first meetup and are stoked to meet new people who full-time.

Great video, guys! (Must be because UA-cam is already showing ads!!)
Ads?? What?? Thanks girly!! 😃❤️ ~Renee and Kyle
Love your description of your
R V. Storage and the bathroom was our big concern. We went with a 2021, 260rd grand design 5th. Love it. Will be looking at yours. Love it also. Happy 4th. 👍🙏❤️🇺🇸
Thank you so much Rusty!! We are so happy to see that you are going back and watching our older videos 😀🙌🏼LOVE that you guys went with the Grand Design 260RD! You guys must have a beautiful rig! We are so happy for you ❤️ We really enjoy hearing your feedback!! Keep it coming, much love from the Hanks! Happy 4th to you as well 😊
Shes hysterical! 🤗❤
❤️Thank you so much!!

@@beekind6267 Absolutely ❤️
You sold me on staying in the RV. I’ll be there ASAP!! 🤣❤️ Renee your acting skills are on point. #seussical
😂 Thank you Kate ❤️ Come join us on some adventures!
You two are awesome! We actually have the Solitude 3550BH which is the exact model that you have but with a bunk house on the back.
Oh that is sweet! We love the bunkhouse models! How do you guys like your model? I feel like the Solitudes are such top notch 👌🏼
Love you home on wheels!! So nice :)
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️🥰
yall got me on the clap on fireplace lol
LOL That took a lot of timing 😂 Thank you so much for watching Richard! We appreciate you
Geeze! Your camper is bigger than my house! 🤣 That place is amazing!!!
You guys have to come see it!! 😃 Maybe we will find you guys your next camper while you are visiting 😉
HappilyEverHanks . Lol! You’re only 3 miles away! I almost stopped as I was flying by today but this nurse had to work! 😜
Someone has to do it 😄Stop on over when you are free!!
Where do you hide the litter box? I may but a litter robot which is wayyy too big to hide but stays smell free because it never smells! I love em! But if I can think of a way to hide a traditional litter box I'd like to go that route. 😊
Hi Jason! 🙂 Thank you for your support. We actually made an entire video about this and also traveling full time with cats. Hopefully it can be of some heIp. I will leave it linked here for you - ua-cam.com/video/AcR_X_HuOdY/v-deo.html
Refreshing!
Great looking rig. If I had one even half as nice I could live in it for many years. Several years ago I did have a campervan but it was super ghetto and I hated not being able to stand up in it. If I ever get one again I have to make sure I can stand up and it will have to have a shower too.
Thank you David! We sure do love our home on wheels. That is so awesome that you had a camper van awhile ago! That must have been a neat experience (even though you couldn't stand up). Having that flexibility to pull in wherever must be a great feeling haha!
Thank you for sharing David 😃We hope to talk again soon!
We do not have storage under our couch...we don't think. Where is your storage there?
We have storage above the couch (I believe it's fairly similar to your layout of the 310 GK). Also when you take the back of the couch cushions off and initially pull out the couch, there is some storage that is found underneath where people would normally sit on the couch. Hope that makes sense 😄You guys have a pull out couch right?
@@HappilyEverHanks A-ha! Yes we have the same couch as you. We will check out that area under the cushions- thanks!
Absolutely! Hey every bit of space helps right? 😃 we like to put our blankets and pillows under there. Just frees up that much more storage overhead
Oh my GOSH! That's a lot of storage-- could hide a dead body under there! Had no idea! Thanks again!!
Liz Amazing absolutely! 😂 couldn’t have said it better myself. So glad you guys found some more storage, every bit helps!!
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!! You guys do such a great job with these! We need to meet! I want to pick your brain! We love Grand Design and now we wish that is what we bought to start with. We've been in our rig two years now and we are going to trade it in on a Grand Design. However, we do have a king size bed and that is something we can not give up. So that is something we will look for on the trade in. Yours is a beautiful rig. We love all the counter space! We both love to cook, so an island kitchen with lots of counter space is a must! And the space for the Keurig is important. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate the support! I think we have the perfect GD rig for you since we have looked at so many...The Reflection 5th wheel 337RLS lots of counter space and it has the option for a king size bed. 👍🏼Are you guys looking for a pull behind or 5th wheel?... because I have lots to recommend! All the counter space never gets old that why we drool over it in the video lol 😆. The open floor plan is amazing too, we love to cook but also love to cook when you can talk to your guests in one open room at the same time! ~Renee and Kyle
@@HappilyEverHanks If you are curious, our current rig is a Sporttrek 333vfk pull behind. Lots of open space and counter space. We are looking at trading up to a 5th wheel. I'll check out the reflection you mentioned. Thanks!
@@TheNorthwestTravelers The Reflection is really nice or also look into the Solitude 310GK (really popular model). The Solitude has more residential fixtures and such, so the price tag will be a bit more. Thank you guys for sharing! Keep us updated with how things go on the upgrade, we will keep an eye out for some videos coming 😉 - Kyle and Renee
Just bought our Solitude today. Thanks for the inspiration. I sent a picture in your Facebook messenger.
I have watched 3 YEARS of RV videos in preparation of buying one next year... and this is hands down my favorite! So FUN! You are so cute! This is my dream rig - but terrified of towing it - almost 60 yrs old and solo female. 😂 I may have to stick with a Class C. 😒
WHAT!! This is so awesome to hear 😊👍🏼 you would totally rock towing this! Do you have a truck already?
Renee and I started off towing a 27 foot travel trailer and the fifth wheel tows a lot nicer. Having it sit over the rear axle really helps take the sway out of the ride. Also the fifth wheel is SUPER easy to hook up. It has auto leveling and was so much quicker than hooking up a travel trailer.
Tell us a little more about yourself! What kind of lifestyle are you looking for? Full time or part time? Renee and I don’t have any experience with a class C, but I am sure they are really nice as well 😃 we greatly appreciate your comment, you just made our day and brought the biggest smiles to our faces! Much love from the Hanks family to you - Kyle, Renee and Dexter ❤️
We FT in the same unit. The 2930 is a great couples floorpan.
That’s awesome to hear! So glad y’all are full timing 😃 #SolitudeForTheWin
Love your RV!! If we decide go from part-time RVing to full time at some point, I’ll definitely want to get something like this.
Absolutely worth the upgrade if you decide to! ❤️ What do you guys travel in now being part time?
HappilyEverHanks yeah right now we’re just testing the waters and using our RV we just got recently as a way to (hopefully) travel more. We have a few reasons to stay part time for now but that may change in a year or 2. We’re hoping to RV for about a month in December and take some more trips soon. This is what we have now: ua-cam.com/video/bpi4HQvG2sI/v-deo.html
Wow love your set up!! Keep us updated when you end up going full time, that will be exciting for you guys! Thank you so much for your support 😊 we are subscribed to you, we can’t wait to see more of your adventures to come!
Appreciate your videos and candor. I have watched a number of your videos, but have not seen why you chose the 2930RL? You talk about the many things you like, which is helpful, but on your current trip with your friends to Alaska, they have a Solitude. I know it is bigger than yours, but other than size, are there amenities theirs has that you have thought "that would be nice to have in ours"? The 2930RL is on our short list, but so is the 310GK. Also, have you missed not having a washer and dryer (it seems you are using that space for the shoe storage?). Thanks again for all the videos.
Fantastic RV! Can you do a video on your truck? I'm looking at 5th wheels and trucks and all of the information and debate on SRW vs DRW and Gas vs Diesel and do you really need something that can tow a 30,000 pound 5th wheel when you are only panning on a 15,000 pound one.
That’s a great idea for a video! Just need to keep track of RV weight and plus not overloading the RV in general. The tires and axels on the rig are only rated for so much weight whether the truck can pull it or not! A lot of peeps forget that! We highly recommend diesel and at least 2500 but if more than 15,000 will probably need a dually 3500. It all depends though, each truck and RV is different! Thanks for watching!
You guys are really entertaining and educational! I'm glad to have run into your channel.
Quick question. How do you replace large appliances and furniture in and out of the RV?
Oh and kudos for the Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce in the fridge. Lol
Hey Ray! Thank you so much for the awesome support! It means a great deal to our family!
Replacing items like the recliners or couch are really easy. I foresee the biggest obstacle would be finding a way to fit the furniture though the door and maneuvering around the kitchen island and such. The nice part if you can replace any furniture pieces that you want! I know that people have put La-z-boy chairs in or set up full work spaces including a desk. The options are endless as long as you don't go over weight restrictions of the RV itself. To be honest, I couldn't say on the appliances part. Things like switching the RV fridge for a residential fridge can take place, but I wouldn't know how much work would be involved in the electric. I do however know that once you put in a residential fridge, you would no longer have the option to keep your fridge cold via propane (like you would with a typical RV fridge).
I hope that some of this answered your questions, feel free to reach out to us anytime with more questions! We hope we can hear from you again soon Ray! Cheers! - Kyle and Renee
I wanted to go back and watch some of your earlier stuff… I agree with your choice to ditch the intro! (Everyone should do this! 😂
Hands down best interior RV tour I have watched, and Grand Design should affiliate with you, and pay you; to review their RV's, you sold me lol,,
We joined their influencer program last year! They are so great 😃
@@HappilyEverHanks and it's working, Grand Design 303RLS purchased shortly after watching this, cheers
You two do GREAT videos!! You have the filming (what did you use to film the washing the dishes) And I have the same spice bin lol and editing and camera presence WOW... you two are so cute and very entertaining tour!! You two should have a 1000 subs And I need to know more about the tray at 6:06!! ~ Brad and Diana
Thank you guys from the bottom of our heart, it truly means so much that with your supportive comments 😃 We try to keep our videos light and fun! For filming while washing the dishes, we used a GoPro Hero 8! We are trying to get to 1k as best as we can!! It would be such an incredible goal to reach! As far as the swivel tables, those actually came with our style rig! They are like little tv tray tables and are super fun! As you can see, if you don't want them you can just remove them and store them elsewhere LOL Brad and Diana you guys are AWESOME!! ❤️ - Renee and Kyle
@@HappilyEverHanks Super hearing back from you!! Keep up the great work. We are learning from you :) ~ Diana
You guys are the best ❤️❤️❤️
Upper great home!
Thank you Annette!! Much love to you from the Hanks family 🤗
Waoo I love it! Great video.
Great rig. If you could change the floorplan in any way, what would it be?
We have been thinking a separate room for a guest (like a bunkhouse room) would be really nice 😃 Other than that, we really love this model!! Thank you guys so much! It's always so great hearing from you ❤️
Beautiful rig!
Thank you so much!! ❤️ It has been such a great home for us!
It’s funny your RV has so many upgrades since you did this video
