We Are RV YouTubers DESTROYING The Community WITH THE TRUTH
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2023
- RV UA-camrs are being called out for telling the truth. Labeled as bullies with mental health problems and blamed for destroying the community by larger channels in an effort to camouflage the ways they deceive their viewers just to make a buck.
Think about any large channel you watch, when was the last time you received content without a sales pitch? Even when they complain about being "bullied" They have their pinned comment promoting a $1000+ mattress to you!
These "Large Channels" do everything in their power to silence channels that expose them . YES, even that channel that you love!
This large channel in particular even went so far as to file copyright claims against another channel in THEIR OWN CIRCLE when they spoke out against Nomad Internet!
The sad reality is that they can not stand ANY channel breaking out without being part of their circles. They call it a community BUT the truth is .. it is a way to control the narrative. THIS IS WHY THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME SPONSORS!
We are not trying to become the saviors of the masses, we just want viewers to be treated with respect and not a revenue source.
While we originally started our channel for fun, it was the overwhelming amount of stories we received from viewers about their hopes, dreams, struggles, wins and losses that have motivated us to continue and be an advocate for what this platform should be.
If you agree with us and want to join our journey, we welcome you. If you do not agree with us, we understand that as well and wish you the best. If you have a different opinion than ours, we are okay with that - we won't call you "basement dwellers" we will just agree to disagree.
Before you make that final decision about us and our channel - let us leave you with this ... When was the last time our social media feeds were flooded with product endorsements? Now, what about the same questions for that large channel?
This RV lifestyle means something different to everyone. It should be fun and rewarding. A way to connect, with each other and nature. A way to experience a different side of life.
We appreciate you stopping by no matter what side of the fence you are on and wish you the best in your journey to redesign your life!

👍🏻❤👌
Fantastic video! As a full-time rv'er who travels for work, I appreciate the honesty and transparency your channel provides about the rv life and community. Keep doing you.
Much appreciated!
Great video. A honest voice is always nice to hear. You and your wife are great. My wife and I could never afford RVs, but we just started tenting. Planning on doing it across Newfoundland next summer. Your channel, just found yesterday, puts an exclamation on “just enjoy life” you guys are great.
Bob and Karri, please keep up the good work! You are an asset and are appreciated by your followers and all who desires truth that are missing in this times we live in. Thank you for your service in the "RV Community" that brings us one together from different colors, forms, and experiences in life. Stay true and speak the truth and "the truth shall set you free". I am a new Subscriber and do appreciate all your videos that I have seen thus far. We have been a full-time RV dwellers/Nomad since January 2018 and counting and no quitting on the horizon, well keep moving forward as long as the good Lord wills. May the mighty good Lord bless and keep you always. Love and prayers from a fellow rv'r in the Nevada Desert/ Valley of Fire, NV!🤠
Thank you for the kind words, it truly means a lot to us!
Safe Travels!
Bob & Karri
I saw the video you speak of and thought it was terrible and it prompted me to unsubscribe from them. Thanks for speaking up.
Love to know so, if I am subscribed, I can unsubsidized as well!!!!!
Great video! I was about to get Nomad Internet after the band wagon push. Made a two minute search and found it was a fraud. Two weeks later the channels changed their tone. As for the mattress, we have owned 5 RVs in 30 years and Costco mattresses and upgraded $30 bed lifts work just fine. As for $5000+ solar systems. We find two Power Queen 100Ah lithium batteries and an ECO Flow power station powers what we need for a couple nights of Harvest Host stays.
We bought our Casper Mattress from Costco - best money we ever spent!
I have no idea to whom this was directed. But I'm guessing that whoever it is saw what you had to say. You HAVE to stand up for yourself and you did it well, and along the way explained to us, the bystanders, why you said what you said. I've had to slug a few bullies in my life (literally and figuratively), and for those who won't dare, it's a mistake. Personal integrity always wins. Good for you!
Thank you!
Bravo! I hate the clickbait and doing my best to not click, not watch, unsubscribe. You two are the best and I appreciate your truthfulness and honesty.
Thank you, we appreciate that!
I love you Man! MY Wife and I just purchased our first RV and looking forward to part time RV life when I retire in a couple years. I am not much into meeting new people per say, but I hope I run into you guys someday down the road. I want to shake your hand! Safe travels!
Definitely! Congrats on the RV!
Excellent video. Those “celebrity RVers” just smack of that old Amway sales pitch. This video is a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much.
Holy cow, i appreciate the honesty immensely! I too have unsubscribed from some of the big channels because of their obvious commercial motivation. Thanks for your video!
Thank You for your honesty ! My wife and I live in northern Nevada, where we live we drive 30 miles to the nearest town. (No Crime where we live) We have a 2000 Ford 350 diesel, with over 250,000 miles on it, 4X4 four door with a large flat bed and a 30 gallon propane tank, plus a 8,000 watt propane generator. We tow a 27 year old 5th wheel (28 foot) with all new stuff, lights, solar panels, and so on. we also tow a 18 ft enclosed trailer with our off road e-bikes and other camping Equipment.. We like to find old ghost towns, and there are a lot of them here in Northern Nevada. We like Nevada and where we know all the laws. . Yes our 5th wheel old but it is light (weight). and works very well for us. Oh yes we are 80 years young. I really enjoyed your talk. You have answered a lot of my questions about other web sights. There is no way we could do what you all do. We like to travel to Europe, (We have family in Norway and Scott land).. We enjoy our home too.
That is great! This just proves that age is just a number 😀 thank you so much for sharing!
Real talk here. Appreciate the integrity. I've been following Sarasota Tim (from an initial retire at the age of 62 video). One of your videos showed up for a recommendation after watching the idea of renting out RVs. Not sure I could handle a bad renter situation. It's nice to see when folks are creating honest and ethical content. Appreciate what I saw on a few of your videos. You two stay blessed.
Thank you, you as well!
Wow, I’m glad that you said it! About 5 years ago, the wife and I bought our first Rv and of course I wanted to learn all that I could so I started following a lot of youtubers to get information and as of today I am only subscribed to 2 and yall being 1 of them. The other one is from 5 years ago because they are genuine. Jut the other day I clicked on click bait for one of the big channels about internet and noticed that they were using the same internet equipment that I’ve had for almost a year so I listened to the video and decided to check out the service that they mentioned and the link took me to the same service that I have but not what they mentioned in the video and it makes you wonder how many just bought it without looking at the details. By the way, the service that I use is not that good when you get down to it so I questioned them on why the service was different from what they mentioned and they responded with typical bs. We are still looking for a good service without breaking the bank. Thanks for the info and keep charging forward brother. We think yall do a good deed so keep it up!
Thank you so much for sharing this!
It has come to the point where if I'm watching a video, and out come's the RV mattress, the one you have to have, or any other sponsored crap, I shut down the video, and move on. Thank you Bob and Karri for your honesty!
We do the same!
yea I loved the Liz channel until she started doing those infomercials.
All channel types do this now, I pay for UA-cam premium and it's frustrating that I have to watch a promotion now!
@@anniesshenanigans3815 I wonder if UA-cam tracks the fact that I just fast forward through that part. The "L" key (on windows) jumps ahead 10 seconds. L, L, L, L ... I'm through the ad.
@@onazram1same. I swear UA-camrs and promoters found out about the ad blockers and Premium and came up with the sponsored ads. I just ff through the damn thing until it’s over lol
This video is why you guys became my favorite channel. I discovered you with the Nomad video and it was the 'call them as you see them' attitude that I was able to relate to, as I'm the same way! Thanks for your honesty.
Thank YOU!
I weathered the video your speaking of. In regards to mental health they need to stay in their own lane. Just remember what goes up must come down. Just subscribed to your channel recently when you addressed the issues like everybody is leaving RV life. We’ll done because you shared your own experiences from IMO a well rounded, objective point of view. Time to forgive, turn it over, and walk away! 😊 I’m subscribed to your channel, not theirs, so let’s not give them anymore attention. And keep your captions accurate, even if only 1 view, you may have made a positive difference in one person’s life, and that’s your intent, I hope.
Well said!
Not able to RV, but curious about the life, I did a deep dive and caught on to the same tye of edited videos by many Utubers who might not be directly sponsored by a business but have links to many products they happen to like. Then they have a video about costs of RVing, they can afford it with so many people buying their linked products. Many obviously started with money in the bank and aren't so humble as they claimed when starting out. YOU NAILED IT, NEW SUBSCRIBER.
Welcome to our journey! ❤️❤️
My wife and I just found your channel today and have just watched several of your videos. We’ve been preparing for our version of RV life for the past two years and God willing we’ll be in some kind of rig by the end of the year. We’ve been absorbing every bit of information we can to the point of analysis paralysis. Your take on things is so refreshing it got you another subscriber. Oh, and I used to follow that New Jersey couple until their true colors finally showed through to us. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us and safe travels to you both.👍🏼😎
Thank you for the kind words! Just remember, preparing is good BUT it is easy to over prepare. Have faith in each other and you got this!
Safe travels
@@liferedesigned Thank you.👍🏼😎
Best video ever! I stopped watching so many self serving channels because of the lies and cheap product promoting. One couple showed their starlink being thrown in a dumpster. This was so they could promote nomad which was clearly a lie of a company. I called them out on it immediately after watching the nomad video and their next video showed them taking the star link out of the dumpster. I guess what was so maddening is that they didn't provide any apology and a promise to do better. Thanks for providing clarity on how we are taken advantage of by the people we have trusted.
This has been pointed out to us and we find it funny - scroll through long enough and you will find they “threw” our Starlink at least 3 times 🤣🤣
Nice video I enjoy watching your content. It’s nice to see regular people just making camping videos.
Wow! I watched the video you speaking of. I commented that I did not know the drama they were speaking of but to be true to themselves and whoever was hating would benefit by starting their day in the word! But this shines a different light on things! I am new to your channel but it caught my eye and I subscribed as I liked what I saw. I have watched and noticed the whole click bait sensation out there and now I will not watch those videos because I have a low tolerance for description on any level. I don’t fault folks for making a living but they should not deceive people to do it. You know you look around the world today and it does not take a rocket scientist to see the Devil has got a large amount of people deceived. There are those of us that see it and those of us that don’t. I am glad that I do. I am nothing special but I do believe in the Bible. After battling stage 4 cancer and surviving and the my wife was diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer which she survived as well, we have a different out look on life. Sorry for the rambling but you struck a nerve with me. Thank you for your insight and I am a fan of your philosophy appreciate your candor.
No need to apologize- thank you for sharing your story! Make sure to appreciate the extra time God has afforded you!
Be well,
Bob and Karri
@@liferedesigned Oh every day is a gift! I was not apologizing, but affirming! I appreciate you and your wife!
Wow. Had to go find that other video. The hat and glasses were awesome. Maybe you can have your logo on both moving forward. You really should have gone for a walk in the woods. You forgot a few famous quotes. We personally think that walking couple are scammers.
Keep up the honest video's, as honesty and truth prevail. If it was me, I would go to the RV show and watch them squirm.
Look forward to your trip to the midwest next year.
-Ediguy
Psst. It just so happens that we will be in Florida and not too far from the show. If we go, we will pay our own ticket (no famous youtuber press pass) and be there looking at RV’s because we want to - I am quite sure that clown wouldn’t even come near me BUT it would be funny as an outsider to see them scrambling.
Oh the stories I could tell about being in Orlando when our Nomad Internet video went live and being surrounded by those very UA-camrs that are part of their group - funny how they all praised us for telling it straight … well to our faces 🤣🤣
I saw that "walk in the woods" video and without knowing to whom it was directed, or why, it still struck a wrong chord with me. I'm glad I found your video. I subscribed to a lot of the big channels years ago when we were planning our move to FT - which we did 15 months ago and it's been fantastic. But, I've stopped watching most of them now because I've grown tired of them shlepping the flavor of the month (I too noticed the cyclical nature of them all jumping on (or off) the same bandwagon around the same time). Most of them were somewhat useful in their earlier days with some "how to" or "don't make the mistake I did" videos (never walk away from your wet bay when flushing the black tank!), but it all seems like it's about the clicks now. So, between the shlepping and trading a video of a tech's work for free installs of products, I'm done with most of them.
I opened my channel thinking exactly the same as you - let the kids keep up with us, but got discouraged by the smoothness of the bigger channels. Finding smaller channels now and realizing working off my iPhone for now works just fine.
Subscribed.
Well said! I'm happy to be a new subscriber and I appreciate your honest approach...love you guys...from one Italian to another 👋
Ciao! Welcome to our journey!
Love your videos... watch a lot as thinking of buying a small camper, South African that has moved to the USA... you speak the most truth... feel a lot of the other channels are just extended ads. Thank you. Don't stop!
As long as people watch, we will keep making videos! Good luck in your journey!
That was a GREAT video and you just gained a new subscriber. As for that other UA-camr you refer to without naming names, I unsubscribed from that nonsense channel when he popped off about the last election (a video he and his wife promptly pulled as it began costing them subscribers). Unfortunately, I fell for their recent clickbait title on UA-cam bullying (UA-cam still recommends their content even though I unsubscribed) and then immediately figured out they were just being bullies themselves. I can only imagine how he bullies citizens while he is supposed to be protecting and serving. Thanks for the context in your video. This is one UA-cam recommended video that was worth the watch today for sure. Best...
Thank You! Welcome to our journey 😃
Well said!
I've enjoyed you content since the Ebay days and 1st found you while searching info on installing theater seating in my Winnie.
Have always appreciated your transparency openness & honesty.
Keep up the great work!
eBay days! That is definitely going old school! Thank you for the support 😀
Keeping it real👌. Thank you and I enjoy watching. I may watch other channels for entertainment value (and laughs) but I'm immune to sales tactics and those channels that are nothing but product promotion bore me very quickly.
I appreciate that
Thank you, truth is wonderful. So is telling like it is. Wife and I have been camping since 1990. People need to realize that not everything that works one some people, may not work for others. So many times we get asked which unit should they get and we always tell them that we can't tell them that because we do not know how they will use it. My wife and I have been out about 9 months a year for the last 4 - 5 years. We travel around the country, see the sights, do what we feel or want depending on where we are at. We see all these youtube and forum tales on what is good and what isn't. We also see all these stories of how some were mislead or deceived in some way. All the while it comes down what some have not done what they should have or used it as intended, not how they think it should work, and some are a bit of unrealistic expectations. Some reading and research, as well as a routine would have prevented most of these issues. We know that stuff happens as well. Wife and I look at it as a part of the adventure. Some things bad, but most are good. Funny how a little thing called common sense and common courtesy seem to be lacking in a lot of these. It is how you deal with it that determines the outcome. Take care of it, learn from it, and press on. Wife and I enjoy ourselves. We meet a lot of people in our travels and most are really nice and just want to enjoy themselves as well. Hope to see you during our travels. Have a good one.
I just found you two ! Awesome ! Thank you for opening my eyes to what they do..😊
Thank YOU for finding us 😃
First time watching your channel and you brought up some very valid points. I appreciate your point of view and perspective. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you 🙏. And you are so right this is just entertainment and I take it that way. Thanks From Wisconsin ( Newbe)
Thank you! 😀
What you said in the video is so true! I'm so glad that you are honest. We need more U-Tubers like you. Thank you. Love your videos ❤
Thank you so much!
Nice Job, Great Video. Also, at the 13:45 mark in the video, there was a large Buck grazing over your left shoulder between the front of your Camper and Truck.
We had to shoot this numerous times as there is a TON of deer in and out of our site. Karri has been hand feeding them, such a crazy experience here in Texas!
Good eyes!
Holy Crap, this is Eye Opening!!!!
I just unsubscribed to five channels, just from doing a minimal search.
I’m excited to be a part of YOUR journey.
Thank you!
Love what your doing. Some are switching to RV life because things are hard and need honest counsel in order to make the right decisions to prepare for RV life. Gained a follower
Thank you and excellent point!
If things are hard, ....RV life is no walk in the park
Oh dam...you tell them Bob...I love you guys...I love your rant and stand with you 100%. What we are seeing is a microcosm of our society. You two just keep it real. Its funny how they twist the narrative and use words as weapons... classic passive aggressive. You just keep telling it like it is. They turned what should be just knowledge gathering or entertainment into a Grift...snake oil salesmen and they are upset that their game is being exposed. I quit watching that content from those "scripted" channels a year ago...I had pretty much figured out they communicated with each other for the latest craze cause they all changed there grift in unison...from mattresses to e-bikes to internet providers.
I really enjoy just seeing you two do your thing. I really enjoy watching you bounce around (jk). I'm glad you guys are getting out west now. There is a whole different vibe on the west side of the country. Some good...Some bad. But its our country. Be safe, keep it real, and I hope to run into you guys someday. Dinner and drinks will be on me.
We will bring the appetite! Lol. Thank You!
56 years old and once my elderly parents pass I'm going full time. I recently saw those videos, and happened on yours as well. THANK YOU! Nothing worse than click bait. I'm an introvert so wondering how I'm going to do in the road. 😅
Honestly being an introvert is interesting with this lifestyle. It can go both ways. You can have times where you feel as though “finally I am left alone” and other times where you are forced to be part of something bigger than yourself (in a good way)
It is crazy to us that 17 years in the same neighborhood and we barely spoke to our neighbors, yet every RV park or campground we go to people are overwhelmingly friendly and want to socialize lol
New sub! I will be at the Tampa RV show for the first time this year!
Enjoy!
Right on! My viewing came from an email claiming RV channel apocalypse, but it was simply you taking the high road and calling out the bully, and the other taking the low road to save subscribers and make more money. I subscribed to you. Keep up the pure honesty, as we all need honesty.
Thank you - am curious what email you are referring to though 🤔
First I'm not an RVER, I watch different channels and have subbed to no one. While watching a very big RVER review channel they posted the MSRP along with other statistics of the RV they were reviewing. When they announced the MSRP it was higher than the published price. I e-mailed them a few times informing them but never heard back. I'd say in the last 2 or 3 months it has not happened. Are they phony or not I have no clue but I take their prices with a grain of salt. As you stated in your video it's true, there are good and bad and lots are on here for the money only. God Bless for a refreshing video.
Thank you!
You better preach! Thank you for this! I’m in the process of going full time and your video is so helpful to silence the noise and understand what is really going on!
Congrats on going full time!
I sold everything and am enjoying the freedom of RV living. I used to watch a lot of UA-cam channels about the RV lifestyle, trying to figure out and prepare myself for it. As time went on, most of the channels seemed more and more like infomercials. I am so grateful for Life Redesigned! As I am now currently developing a UA-cam channel of my own, I am so glad for the example you both set for honesty and integrity. May God bless you both and safe travels!
Hey George! Thanks for the kind words :) There are a bunch of great content creators on this platform that have found the balance of being honest while making money. We try to lead by example, but are outnumbered for sure.
Just keep being yourself and the rest will fall in line!
God Bless and Safe Travels!
Wow, that was really refreshing!! I just want to watch videos that teach a newb like me, not suddenly hear how, "Everyone," is quitting after we just made a big investment. We do march to our own beat and will only do what speaks to us, whether "Everyone" is doing in or not. It's as you stated the dishonesty of it all. The Usual Suspects is my favorite movie of all time by the way. Blessings man. Keep making great content!
Thank you!
Exactly what I thought about the mattress adds. We went to Denver Mattress.
Never heard of them but I will check them out
Thank you for making this video. This one hits close to home. Can’t really elaborate on this but suffice it to say, definitely know you’re telling the truth. It seems people want the truth and are glad to know your channel is providing it. It’s a breath of fresh air in an RV world where the air seems to be growing thick with celebrity. Seems like pride is an issue, and really, in the beginning (and still), wasn’t pride the reason mankind went sideways? Just sayin…
Exactly!
Great video. Love that you’re keeping it real. You’ve got a new subscriber here.
Thank you and welcome to our Journey!
BOOM! Mic drop! Here is a small rant in support of your rant as a "consumer" of RV videos or any other specialized videos on UA-cam. I LOVE your no-nonsense point of view of what I consider the "dirty underbelly" of UA-cam content makers including how defensive and protective they are of their "product." Your bully example and the reaction is so spot on and could be applied to so many circumstances we have all been exposed to. I could list the large channels I have unsubscribed to that have changed for the worse as they have become so commercialized that they have lost their unbiased charm. I am mixed on accepting sponsorships or revenue from promoting products even though once a channel turns to promotions they always change. As a consumer, we do want an honest review of products related to what our interests are and RV'rs using the products in the real world should be the best test. But, I have seen it many times when a new product comes out and nearly every RV UA-camr has that product and are either promoting it or "testing" it. I realize they are all getting paid in some way to do this and over time, I just can't trust anything they say. I am also a fisherman and for many years I have followed professional Bass Fisherman who do nothing but promote products. I really hate when they are using a Ranger boat and claim it's the best boat ever made. Then down the road they are in a Skeeter boat and it's the best boat ever made! It is laughable and I discovered that we have ALL been suckers over our lifetimes as we have been fed advertising through many methods. That is just how our markets works, but it has changed in the world of social media as we humans don't like being called out for participating in the "snake oil" reviews and then using their fighting words to deny the truth. Ok, nobody reads more than 3 or 4 lines, so I have overstayed my welcome here. I could not agree with you more and have only been a sub for a short time. Just keep doing you and don't change a thing.
Read it all and agree 💯!
Lol. I tried reading all, but as you said, most only read 3 or 4 lines. Maybe I will go back and see what else you have to say.
I enjoy your channel and the honesty you have shown. This has become my favorite channel and I always look forward to a new video. Am not a full timer yet but hope to be one day. For now my family and I try to make it out at least on a monthly basis.
Thank you! Just remember, it’s not about being full time or part time - it’s about THE TIME 😀
Wow! Just saw your video. I recently quit watching this 50+ solo woman who travels with her dog. She wears pig tails a LOT and I really enjoyed watching her. Her RV constantly breaks down too…but I liked her. Until…One day, she starts doing her own product promotions and tells companies have asked her to try it…blah, blah, blah. After seeing this woman change before my eyes, I couldn’t do it anymore. I refuse to watch anybody who has turned “corporate” greed RV’r anymore! It’s truly sad. I don’t trust what they’re saying because they’re paid and given huge, valuable merchandise to basically lie to us.
Thank you for your honesty and for standing up for truth. The others make me want to - yes, vomit!
There is a right way to accept sponsorships - unfortunately for many they do not know because they are blinded by $$
Thank you so much for pointing out these channels are only interested in making money and will do and say anything. I have since unsubscribed from all of them (except you guys). I called them out a number of times giving false or misleading info and they could care less what we think. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you!
I appreciate your integrity and honesty. It's refreshing. Your channel doesn't have that sleezy used car salesman vibe.
Thank you!
Pluto just went direct and it is time for more calling out of the crap fest going on out there in all areas, things that have become "structures" need to be changed to work from now on, do not stop as it is a good thing. Change is good for all of us. I just found you recently and I do appreciate the plain talk and the shooting straight from the hip as it is also how I roll.
Watched your video been following glad that someone finally told the truth I have respect for you guys keep up the good work we're starting full time Mabe meet up some day
Well said. Just subscribed. We've been full time for a few years now and couldn't be happier!!!
Love this! RV life is amazing!
I saw their attack and glad you responded. You are totally right. Take care and be safe.
Thank you- you as well!
Can you reference where I can find it? Just curious about what was said. Thanks!
Thx. For ringing things out to light. It’s brighter.
I like you guys even more now!! In a time where literally everything is being used as a form of fear marketing or any type of marketing for that matter, you guys are a breath of fresh air👍 Hopefully UA-cam allows you guys to remain on the same path without complicating your lives. Not that I know anything about content creation on UA-cam, but anything truth based seems to get shunned. Excellent video!! Keep up the good work✌️
Thank you!
First time viewer here and I must say I agreed with everything you said. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you! Appreciate you stopping by 😀
Ya know what? This video made us feel even more honored that y'all agreed to appear our collaboration. Thank you again! We too have come under a much more "passive aggressive" attack from a larger channel. When we pretty much paid them no mind, they just went away. Imagine subtly attacking a channel as small as ours? 😂 As you said, it's laughable. We are truly sorry you've even had to go through this crap. Screw 'em.
We are hearing similar stories from A LOT of smaller channels being attacked by larger channels simply for the telling the truth.
Sad, when honesty makes you the bad guy.
I am not sure what makes them hate us so much - if it is the honesty or the fact that we have figured out how to grow our channel without them.
Let's just "keep on keeping on" and watch them slowly die as a channel. That's what we're planning to do.
I enjoy a lot of different RV video Bloggers.
As far as their commercials go, I just move past them.
For me, a good choregraphed camping video can be very enjoyable.
It can take a lot of time, cost and energy to produce worthwhile video contend on camping and RV life.
Your content is always fun to watch.
Keep it up.
Thank you!
My wife and I start our full time rv life next week. My wife is a travel nurse, and we thought this was best way. I found y’all a few days ago. Like y’all’s honesty. Thanks for keeping us on the lookout for snake oil salesmen.
Congratulations! Thank you for the kind words 😀 Safe Travels
I really like y'all's channel, its nice to watch a video without someone trying to sell me something. I have always had a good BS filter but some of these channels are so slick I get challenged sometime. Keep up the good work and enjoy the RV life.
Thank you!
Well said!!! I share your opinion on bullies a good punch in the nose will humble you pretty fast. We appreciate your content and your honesty. Safe travels.
I appreciate that
I just stumbled on this video. I don't own an RV. I don't intend to buy one. I'm not wistful for a life I don't have (in an RV). I find RV videos interesting. This is why I randomly click on them. I have no idea about whom you are speaking. Let me just say this as an objective observer with no skin in the game . . . that was a classy, mature and intelligent response to what was obviously an attack from another channel. Well done and well said, sir.
Thank You 😀
The algorithm decided to present me with their video. Well, I must say (again, as someone with no skin in the game), they seem disingenuous. They have quite a large platform. Why on earth are they bothering to attack a much smaller channel? The word "petty" immediately comes to mind. I'm actually kind of floored that warring over UA-cam is a thing. But whatever. I still appreciate how you've handled this situation.
I really hate RV channels pitching everything from expensive beds, water filters, battery solar systems...all while not actually paying for these things. Some have had systems installed for free, that cost more than my trailer! While this is my first time seeing your videos, I haven't heard of this controversy. I wish I could find out who these larger channels are so I can be sure to stop watching. Is this out there there somewhere I can find? I am subscribed!
Nice to hear this stuff. I think this works in other subjects too? Like off gridding and politics. I’ve noticed more and more click bait like titles and wonder when they sell something? I also thought something was happening to RV life and thought it was true so good to hear it’s mostly click bait.
LOL! Thanks! Having been around campgrounds for many years I know there can be a lot of weirdness, clics, overbearing campers, etc., but I had no idea the UA-cam RV community was like this. Click bait, yeah, but... Thanks for the info. I'm binge watching you right now. Keep doing what you're doing helping others by putting your message out there :-)
Bing watching uh-oh - be careful 🤣🤣 we are addictive!
Keeping it real all of the time! That's the kind of content I want to see! I don't want anyone's bought opinion. Thank you for being real folks.
Have to be real - nobody wants a fake Bob 🤣🤣🤣
Preach it brother....thanks for having your channel...love you guys!!!
Thank you!
Love it. Stay true. Life is to short for bullshit. Also, that Sleepys mattress that I have in my rig is awesome for 500 bucks and it’s a king. Case and point. Have an awesome Sunday. See you on your next video.
Sleepy’s for the win!
Fantastic 🎉My feelings exactly🎉l don't like someone who trys to Sell me it becomes one big commercial and I see it more and more. My husband a d I appreciate your honesty. We also keep to ourselves and enjoy it. Keep the great videos coming and thanks for being real!!
Thank YOU!
THAT was freaking awesome, took about 2 seconds to know who you talking about and had to go back and rewatch it.
1st time seeing you and glad it was THIS video.....definitely following.
Thank you! Welcome to the journey!
Almost all of the utubers I followed when I was researching this lifestyle, have become something\ someone I don't recognize any more. Sad all for the money. Please keep, keeping it real.
Will do!
What a breath of fresh air! I'm glad to have found you two!
Thank you! We are glad you found us also 😀
WOW! Keep preaching the truth Brother Bob! Always love your content, Missed seeing Kari ❤
Karri is back in the next video! I asked her to step out of this one so that any backlash fell directly on me.
Plus OMG a rant from Karri would make them shut down their channels lol
Thank you for your content. Appreciate very much your being up front and straightforward honesty.
Long overdue 👍
Thank you! Appreciate it❤️
Well done. Finally figured out that most out there are all about making a buck and you tube "fame". Thanks for having the balls to be real.
Thanks for sharing this information
First time i see you. First video, and WOW!! just WOW! They say when people bash about other people, its says more about them, then the shit they say! Join you right now. Love your personnality and you telling the hard truth. ❤ have a beautiful day to you and your wife.❤❤❤
Thank you! You as well ❤️❤️
Great Vid! I was also approached by "nomad internet" (not for 800 a vid lol). They offered me free unit, $35 per signup, and free internet for life after 5 signups. I turned it down. We were happy with Starlink and I wasn't into spamming my few subscribers. It is sad to watch some of your favorite UA-camrs develop huge ego's, spam their subscribers and delete any comment they don't like. I mean it's fine to have a sponsor or have links to real products on amazon and such you love. But some have just become infomercials. I seen a big channel a while back, scream murder because RV parks wouldn't exchange free stays for Positive Video reviews. One canceled on them and they did multiple vids on it bashing them, showing confidential email and such. These people loose a grip on Reality. They are now not nomadic anymore I suppose cause they didn't want to pay for stays like the rest of us. Anyways I could go on and on. Keep making real content! Love it...
Thank you - wanna hear something hilarious? Nomad Internet STILL wants to sponsor us lmao 🤣🤣
@@liferedesigned omg seriously? That’s crazy!
Seriously- we played along .. I have the whole script and contract lmao (of course we never signed)
Terrific and loved the write up too! Thanks for your efforts!
We aren’t RVers, but my wife and I enjoy y’all channel. Continue to do what y’all enjoy.
Thank you so much!
A video is a video, Bob this was and is a very good message for all the people that are kind of lost, they're following people because well, that's what everyone else is doing.
I love the message, we enjoy the Content that you create, because it is honest...
Keep being real!
We do the same thing, tell the truth and then you have nothing to try and remember.
Another great video Bob.
Thank you!
Thank you for calling out the trash from NJ and so happy that are letting the truth about that so called bedding and that one that guy that he knows everything about rving. Take care and safe.🎉
Whoa i just came from their video to figure out who it was they were refering to. Glad i saw the other side of the story. Subscribed.
Welcome to our journey! ❤️
Hobby here too! Great video.
Thank you!
THANK YOU!! This video was refreshingly honest and real. I started following y'all because of the honesty and no BS. I STOPPED following the bigger channels because their lack of honesty was apparent. It was obvious that they weren't doing it for the love of it. I've gotten more enjoyment out of y'alls video in such a short time. Please stay strong and continue to tell your truth. Don't let those other channels scare you off. If they're resorting to those types of tactics, then y'all are doing something right. Take care and stay safe!!
Thank You! Well said 😀
Bob and Kari. You both are sooo honest and forthright with your videos. Thanks Bob for your insight into youtuber bullies and nay sayers. Wish i knew you two personally. Enjoy yor RV life videos. Keep going.
Thanks so much for the kind words - we believe there is no other way to be. Some people appreciate that and some don't - we cater to the ones that do :) Safe Travels
Thanks for sharing. May God bless you and give you many blessings. Stay strong and never give up on hope.
Thank you! ❤️
Hello from New Zealand, this is the first time watching you and I totally agree. YT is full of egotistical people making big money telling lies and using deceitful editing techniques, and they know it. We have a few here that if they were in front of the average kiwi they would be pulled up and punched for being a d!ckhead! The rivalry is real. Also the "mental health" card is the easiest and lowest card to pull when they have nothing else. Keep doing what you do and hats off to you and your wife.
Is this lifestyle big in New Zealand?
Great video. I used to subscribe to many youtubers on here until i see them start promoting things. Then i quickly unsubscribe and don't watch anymore. I know its all about the money and lies.
We are the same way!
I’m glad you spoke up. The commodific of the nomadic life in so many of these videos has always appalled me. That is not what the nomadic life is about.
Exactly!
You go Bob!!! It’s amazing how people start believing that UA-cam is a safety net for them to make themselves into a victim! Not sure how your vids showed up on my feed but you are my people so I subscribed!! 😂
Welcome to our journey!
But what you say is true! My channel isn’t big enough for anyone to care or ask me to share anything. If in the future I was asked to, I would consider it but been with my affiliate links I tell someone to search for the best price. I do. I work online too and I also have multiple internet sources. I have Travelfi that uses all three main carriers and while it was really awesome at times, it didn’t work at all where I will need it the most… NASCAR races for my son. I came home and ordered Starlink immediately. I want to be able to take him as much as I can and can’t take so much time off. Thank you for how you run your channel.
And, this is exactly why Greg and I (also introverts) love your channel! Thank you Bob and Karri for your down to earth honesty and transparency.
Thank YOU (and Greg) 😀
Way to lay it out on the table. I’ve click more than my share of “Quitting” videos. Fortunately, I am smart enough to understand there will be a natural ebb and flow of RV folks doing their thing. For many people, full time just isn’t sustainable. Life turns on a dime.
We haven’t begun our journey yet because we moved back home to take care of our elderly moms. When they are gone, we hope to travel for awhile but we know our full time journey will be finite (3 - 5 years possibly?).
Whatever our plans, the saying, “Man plans. God laughs” couldn’t ring more true.
Many folks jumped on the band wagon post COVID. Many of the rigs bought back then are now for sale.
Life happens!
Thanks for Sharing.
God Bless You.
Back at ya!
