You guys are so refreshing, low key is the way to go, not drawing attention to yourself, gives you the opportunity to enjoy your travels more and not be questioned continuously about your adventures. Safe travels to you both.
This is all news to me, from the pineapples to the loofa. My wife and I took an Alaska cruise for the 1st time last summer and wondered why people would decorate their doors with pineapples on an Alaskan cruise. I guess we live under a rock 😂 thanks for the heads up.
I consider this a PSA! I am so out of touch with these things and it would be so embarrassing if someone approached me with a scrubby. In fact I hiding mine when I go to the bathhouse.
I so agree & im soo much more naive than I thought! Makes me think I don’t want to put out any kind of decorations or bird feeders at my campsite cause someone somewhere is going to “misinterpret” the intention!! ;-)
This is by far one of the funniest videos I have seen. Karris reactions were so funny, and the faces she was making had me rolling on the floor from laughing. Every person has the right to enjoy whatever it is that makes them happy, but I believe that you don't bother anyone unless they actually display interest in the same thing. As they say, to eachs own. Stay happy and safe travels.
I had NOT heard any of this 'til now. I was between my jaw hitting my shoe tops & ready to piss myself. My store sells a limited color selection of loofas (loofahs?). He didn't mention dark & light green. Oh boy-Just for kicks I'll see (w/o actually "watching") who buys what, but I won't be able to just stand there, nor do I really need to complete my day this way. Now, about those pineapples... I will have to revisit these "Villages" to refresh my memory. Think I stumbled across them before on TH-cam. Any of you "Hipsters or..." hear of a "Dixies Trailer Park? I'm still not sure about that place; is it "Live" or is it Memorex?
My husband and I were sipping on our Zevia with heavy cream, our Keto weekend dessert, and almost couldn't finish without choking from laughter. Who knew!? We'll be studying golf carts and sites in general for these unusual signals. I'll never look at my teal scrubby the same. It's in our RV shower. I looked up the pineapple reference and I had no clue. Keep enjoying life; it's a refreshing change.
OMG! This is totally new to me and honestly, I could have gone forever not knowing any of this but then I would hate to go to an RV park and find out the hard way, so thank you for letting me know.
Lol. Soft swap is kissing light touching only. Anything goes is full swap. Swinging is everywhere, we just keep it in private clubs, house parties and hotel takeovers. Pink flamingos and upside down pineapples are still a thing. Especially upside down pineapples pineapples
My sister was a travel nurse for a few years. Her job was to open up new senior citizen places. She learned the hard way what the loofa thing is. 😳She told me about it. LOL
When my husband and I shower, we always hang our towels and loofahs out to dry!!! I had no idea we were sending the wrong signals to our camping neighbors!!! 😅😮
OMG, I guess I have been living under a rock as I never knew of this. I will forever be looking at the back of golf carts and I walk through the camp grounds. Thanks for enlightening me!! I love your videos!!
Thank you Bob and Karri, this is new information to me, we love to camp and have never saw anything likes this, maybe because we weren't looking for it, not sure. Love Karri's expressions when you were reading the descriptions. Thank you again and take care!
Oh sweat baby Jesus, I just choked. My wife has hung her pink loofah outside of the van more than once to dry….needless to say her reaction to hearing this was hilarious. Thanks for the info guys. 😂😂😂 now she’s trying remember if anyone talked us afterwards. 😂😂😂 . Friendly mistake = MADE!!!!
I have known quite a few swingers. They are some of the nicest, most accepting people. They might ask but if you kindly let them know you are not interested they just accept it and there is no hard feelings. If you had had the drink and said no they likely would have been ok with it and had another drink with you.
I didnt take the video as judgy at all. But in the future just say you are 'vanilla' and they will take it as a no. I have met quite a few on vacations and have enjoyed most of them. (there is always a creep that makes them all look bad) LOL @@liferedesigned

Boy, did you ever open my eyes? I've been a truck driver for over 30 years and never, ever been in like this before. I have a lot of lizards sticker that I used to have on my truck but this is new thank you.
The lifestyle isn't for everyone. But if you're comfortable in your current relationship and are looking for some added spice, it can be quite enjoyable.
OMG, that is so interesting! My wife and I are both very naive and like to just keep to our selves for the most part. One of our kids just asked about us being swingers and all I can think of now is did we inadvertently show a symbol. Thanks for the heads up on the loofah, flamingos and pineapples.
We’re originally from Maine but now live in Florida. We’re kinda naive too. 😂 But now my husband says he’s never going to view walking a campground the same. We don’t judge, but it’s nothing we’re into; but the new education will certainly now provide new conversation for us over morning coffee at campgrounds lol.
When I moved into an apartment a few years ago there was this woman who lived in the unit below me. She lived alone with her cat and didnt come off as the freaky type. One day I see she had this sign on her door that said "Welcome" in script with a picture of a pineapple underneath it. I knew she had bought it from Aldi because I had seen the signs there in their isle of shame. One day I was coming home as she was leaving. I asked her if she was into the lifestyle. She said what lifestyle? I just said "I saw your pineapple on your door." She looked at me all confused. I said "You got it from Aldi, didnt you?" She said yes, with this confused look on her face. Knowing she probably had no idea what the pineapple meant and not wanting to embarrass her or make her uncomfortable, I said "Yeah, I really like Aldi too!" and walked away. About a week later she took it down and never put it back up. I'm wondering if she finally figured it out. Lmao Theres also a color code for bandanas in the bdsm and gay community. Years ago I worked as a bouncer at a rockabilly\ goth\ metal club. I'm a greaser (pompadour, cuffed jeans, engineer boots and all) and an Outlaws MC supporter. I always had a black and white bandana in my back left pocket. I cant tell you how many chicks I met at the club on goth nights who wanted me to take them home and get rough with them.
First of all, thank you sooooo much for the PSA and for the laughter. I nearly spit out my coffee. Secondly, I had no clue! There needs to be more videos like this to warn the rest of us who live under rocks as well. My loofah is pink and my husband's is teal. Can you imagine?? Thank goodness we never leave them outside to dry. They stay hanging in the shower or tucked in a bag when we walk to the bath house. Jeeesh. I had to Google it and I believe this started at The Villages....which is a well-known promiscuous elderly community. But, in all fairness, everyone has their "thing" and we all deserve happiness & to get the simple pleasures out of life. I just choose to get mine from the man I'm married to. 😂🤣
Thanks Joy! We firmly believe that everyone has a right to happiness as well! While this lifestyle isn’t for us - we wanted to share this as we were oblivious to such things. We are always happy to hear that someone found the humor in our naïveté 😀
In our community no lofas, but gnomes indicate swingers. One gnome on display means you are a swinger. I have never partaken, but both my wife and I have heard the story from others inthe neighborhood. We live in a mixed development - part is over 55 years old, part is not. Apparently the same guidelines apply to both.
Flocking. Flamingos are for "flocking" other Airstreamers. We leave a flamingo sink strainer. We are slowly noticing some of the things you mention. We have scripture on our Airstream so we should be safe.
@@jamesmonroe2808 Reading through these 800+ responses, she does appear to be the only one that thinks that way. Which is fine because that is "her" belief system.
Just drive around any middle to upper middle class neighborhood here in Ft. Worth, Texas...and you'll see the Flamingo and/or upside down pineapple symbols often...Most neighborhoods have their own sub culture....Amazing how prevalent it has become!
It's a crazy thing that people want to swing. Not me. I love my hubby! After 50 years I'll keep my one and only. I hope we see you guys on our 1 million mile road trip.
If I were single, perhaps. But I wouldn't agree to swing either. I respect my woman. But I'm sure that if the question were asked to a very large number of only married men, most would not mind it (anonymously, of course). They would never admit it to anyone. *I'm not speaking for all men, mind you.
After almost a year of full-time rv life, I've only seen the pineapple symbols and signs once on a group of rv's while I was walking our dog. Luckily, it was just an overnight stay on our way to our next work assignment, so we didn't get a knock. I'll keep my eyes out for scrubbies 😂. Great video
My wife and I have been swinging for 15+ years. We know about pineapples and flamingos, but this loofah story is a new one. I checked with some friends who have also been swingers for many years and it was news to them also. Maybe it's a regional "signal" that is only understood in certain parts of the country. And yes, we are RVers too, but never practice both at the same time. 😄
Omg you two are hilarious. I’ve never heard about the scrubby thing and what the heck about flamingo and pineapple? Never heard about those either. Well if we see you in our travels and invite you to a bbq? That’s all you’re getting lol
🤔 Guess who is getting a box of loofas for Christmas from their kids... lol I have never heard of this, and like most things, now that it's brought to my attention, I will be seeing loofas everywhere!
Omg. Im glad to know I'm not the only one who had no clue about scrubbies and what the colors mean. I guess I wont be buying any scrubbies to match the towels and rugs in the bathroom anymore 🤣
Sorry, but some countries still consider even a washcloth to be a secret sexual message. I'm serious. In one country, if a woman waves one at you, it means she is a prostitute! Yikes. It's amazing how so many different innocent things have sexual connotations associated with them. LOL...
At our national RV rally last summer, the golf cart of one of the executives was decorated with loofahs and upside down pineapples dangling from every possible location. He was a great sport and kept them attached for the entire rally. We had plenty of fun with that.
Been in the lifestyle for years and never hear of the loofa thing. I will say lifestyle clubs use colors you listed kinda match the wristbands people are given when they check in.
In the 30+ years my wife and our partners been in the lifestyle, both as singles and as part of a couple/throuple, I/we've used the wristband color matches at lifestyle clubs/parties, that's legitimately how I originally met my wife and then a couple years later how we met our now permanent boyfriend and girlfriend to create our poly Quad, and of course we have used pineapples.
I got a multi pack of those things for Christmas from my uncle who the rest of the family thinks is odd. Should I be worried? They are different colors.
Full time RVd for nearly 4 years in Las Vegas many times . . .never seen any Loufa's, Pinapples, or Flamingo's (except The Flamingo casino), must be a Florida thing!
Thank you for a most informative video. I never owned an RV. After watching and contemplating I have entered the RV market. Obviously, the kitchen, living room, chandelier, will be replaced by a bar, stripper pole and mirror on the ceiling. Is it appropriate to hang several different colors up? Traveling the country till the saving account is empty suddenly sounds enticing. Great video very funny. BTW, unless you like a lot of drama and unnecessary stress keep the scrubby packed away.
I'm 63. I do a lot of camping and outdoors stuff. Had a couple say to me at a campground this summer, "You should enjoy a 'Colorado Campfire'. We were like "What?". Look that one up. I was SHOCKED! That's all I'll say.
way for swingers to identify each other. If you see someone wearing an upside-down pineapple badge or pin, it means that they're actively looking for a partner swap. An upside-down pineapple on someone's front porch can be seen as an invitation to join a swinger party.
Oh my goodness! I’m never going to be able to leave my RV. Now that I know more about these things…if my mouth doesn’t say it, my facial expression definitely will 😂
I've heard about the upside-down pineapples but ; being that my wife and I are new to the RV live, this is a good tip. You better be sure of who you are "inviting" before you attempt a swap meet. Some people may take an offence to even the mere attempt. Sharing is not caring
Great video.🤣 I didn't know about the messaging but will be aware as I head out on my journey. I love Kerri's reactions. Nice, no judgement but straightforward video. Keep having fun and stay safe.
First my wife and I are not swingers. We learned about this stuff during a conversation on the beach with other family members. Brother in law , sister in law and their families. With long time family friends. A family friend kept getting knocks on their door and being invited to a gathering of swingers. And they didn’t understand why all of a sudden this started happening. And their son explained to them about their pineapple hanging on their door. We were clueless. And laughing out loud. On the beach other families started chiming in and explaining this info to our group. And ended up being very entertaining day on the beach. We learned about the flamingos , white rocks in the front of the house and so on. In about 30 minutes this conversation include about 6 unrelated families laughing and talking about this. Which non of them are swingers. It was very informative.
Weve been living a non-monogamous lifestyle for 12 years and Ive never heard of the Loofa thing... I'd like to think that most ENM/Swinger types would be respectful...and not stalk you like that but there are creepy people in every circle. Sorry you had that experience but situations like that make for the BEST stories! Thanks for the giggle!
I am sure the whole scrubby thing is someone making fun of the villages. The villages have the highest std rate in Florida. Yes I live in Florida.they put scrubbies to find their carts. As you might guess swingers would not advertise so specifically.
on a serious note :those loofah poofy scrubby ball things things hold a lot of bacteria if you have scratch or scrape you should not use loofa's or that puffy scrubber thingy because it can cause a bacterial infection everything ive said here can be verified by a google search
1st the rainbow gets highjacked, then the pineapple and Flamingo and now the loofa. I hope the bald head and goatee remain anonymous or I'm in for a new challenge.
You guys are a blast. Funny and educational. I think maybe we will have a flag made with a picture of "Wolter" (from Jeff Dunham) so these people will leave me the hell alone!! 😂😂
I remember buying a nice shoulder bag with pineapples all over it, i think they are a fun looking fruit. My horror to discover the meaing lmao. I still use it sometimes but mainly im glad to be aware of the meaning incase of being approached. And i am an internet raised young millenial!
When we were here in 2020, there was a Class A with an upside-down pineapple about 2-3 spots away. We had to look into it to know what it meant, too. Yeah, that's gonna be a "no" from us, dawg! LOL
We heard about the upside down pineapple. But that's it. We were modified after learning about it from some fellow travelers. We all had a good laugh, but we haven't experienced that one yet 😅
This family recently bought a house in our neighborhood that came with two sets of flamingos in the front yard. Now that you mentioned it, I wonder if the new homeowners have any idea what messages they are sending out.
My wife and I just moved into a 55 and over park and we saw this and how strange it looked. Now I know this and tell my wife , she will freek out and want to move. LOL
Hahah you made my day just now, I van camp often all around South Florida and this is now new to me, I have never paid attention to other people. I have seen some strange stuff in the camp grounds, but as I van camp my van is very discreet most people assume it's a regular van I keep it very Low Key also. I was in a Poly relationship for 10 years happily married and we had girlfriend. But we never advertise keep posting hopefully I never get a knock like that. But most people stay away from my site as I have 100lbs black German shepherd that travels with me.
We are stationary and just changed parks. Sure enough the neighbor came over and started talking and said he was a "naturalist" and liked to run around naked in the woods. One day in the first few days he came out of his RV with only a t-shirt on. Grossed out my wife to see some 80 year old like that. We requested another space to get away from the pervert. The park manager was not happy. They are gone for the winter so don't know what will happen when they return in the spring. People are the worst part of RV life.
We found it is much worse in a 55+ park which is why we changed parks. A lack of decorum and modesty seem to be early signs of dementia, LOL.@@liferedesigned
My sister-in-laws’ parents live in a “clothes is optional” condo in Florida. Yes, my SIL and her family are disgusted, but that’s where her parents retired to. 😂
In the 80’s my secretary and her family were rv’rs. She told me there were times when the wives would end up in other rv’s with different husbands. No mention of scrubbies though.
First they ruin pineapples now they're gonna mess with my purple scrubby? Sheesh! lol Thats it! Im no longer leaving my scrubby hanging in the shower....Im hiding it under the sink from here on out...lol Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks for the education! Based on your "We keep to ourselves" mantra, I think we could be friends.... But we all keep to ourselves so that would make it difficult.🤔
Laughing at this! My husband and I also live in FL, and I can assure you, if we ever run into you at campground we'll just say hello and leave it at that - we keep to ourselves as well. This loofah/pineapple thing is a BIG thing at The Villages near Ocala. Definitely a hard pass.
Best video ever! Thanks for the education. I was clueless. I wonder how many times in our many years of travels I've said "Oh, I love your purple loofah! It's my favorite color!!!" 😮 😳 😂
Not an RV'r (yet), but "we knew a couple" that upon taking early retirement, bought a motorhome and basically swung and partied their way across the USA. I never heard the thing about loofas, but I believe they met couples they made contacts with through the internet at various campgrounds (some clothing optional) and took it from there. They seemed to have a pretty good time with it all, and why shouldn't they?
LMAO !!! --- I never heard of any of this before LOL .... - I'll have to think of some goofy stuff to hang off my vehicle that means nothing but will make people wonder 😄 .... I'm glad I keep to myself with my dogs most of the time living up here in the Sticks ... if I ever make my way down south I will have absolutely no clue what all of these secret little things mean, but I think it's hilarious.
I don't know about loofas or pineapple's. All that I know is that after a few thousand years of literary masterpieces, we somehow reverted back to pictograms and hieroglyphics...
Very funny and certainly informative video. What is the rest of the story? Did you ever see this guy again or did you just drop the whole thing and not go over for drinks? LOL. My sister lives in The Villages and she told me and my wife a couple of years that if you see a woman wearing gold shoes, then she is looking for a date. What a wild thing!
This was one of the most entertaining rv videos I've watched. Here I am searching for some maintenance information and here comes the attack of the scrubbies. Guess youtube thought I needed to know this. You know... just incase. I had heard of the pineapples and the flamingos before. But we have never seen them yet. But the scrubbies is an all new thing. Wow...

lol, exactly! 😂
Have a great day!
No doubt the most educational RV vid I've seen for a while.
🤣🤣
Agree, who would have guessed. I and I have to say, I would probably go ballitic if someone mentioned this after inviting me for drinks.
Have some fun with it...hang a green and yellow pair on your RV and create some confusion for the next stray knock.
When I moved into an apartment a few years ago there was this woman who lived in the unit below me. She lived alone with her cat and didnt come off as the freaky type. One day I see she had this sign on her door that said "Welcome" in script with a picture of a pineapple underneath it. I knew she had bought it from Aldi because I had seen the signs there in their isle of shame. One day I was coming home as she was leaving. I asked her if she was into the lifestyle. She said what lifestyle? I just said "I saw your pineapple on your door." She looked at me all confused. I said "You got it from Aldi, didnt you?" She said yes, with this confused look on her face. Knowing she probably had no idea what the pineapple meant and not wanting to embarrass her or make her uncomfortable, I said "Yeah, I really like Aldi too!" and walked away. About a week later she took it down and never put it back up. I'm wondering if she finally figured it out. Lmao
Theres also a color code for bandanas in the bdsm and gay community. Years ago I worked as a bouncer at a rockabilly\ goth\ metal club. I'm a greaser (pompadour, cuffed jeans, engineer boots and all) and an Outlaws MC supporter. I always had a black and white bandana in my back left pocket. I cant tell you how many chicks I met at the club on goth nights who wanted me to take them home and get rough with them.
I have seen them on cars in Florida , I always thought they were used to find their car easier in a parking lot. Thank you for educating me..
lol…
First of all, thank you sooooo much for the PSA and for the laughter. I nearly spit out my coffee. Secondly, I had no clue! There needs to be more videos like this to warn the rest of us who live under rocks as well. My loofah is pink and my husband's is teal. Can you imagine?? Thank goodness we never leave them outside to dry. They stay hanging in the shower or tucked in a bag when we walk to the bath house. Jeeesh. I had to Google it and I believe this started at The Villages....which is a well-known promiscuous elderly community. But, in all fairness, everyone has their "thing" and we all deserve happiness & to get the simple pleasures out of life. I just choose to get mine from the man I'm married to. 😂🤣
Thanks Joy! We firmly believe that everyone has a right to happiness as well! While this lifestyle isn’t for us - we wanted to share this as we were oblivious to such things.
We are always happy to hear that someone found the humor in our naïveté 😀
@@liferedesigned We are oblivious to such things as well so HUGE thanks!🙏🏻 😂
In our community no lofas, but gnomes indicate swingers. One gnome on display means you are a swinger. I have never partaken, but both my wife and I have heard the story from others inthe neighborhood. We live in a mixed development - part is over 55 years old, part is not. Apparently the same guidelines apply to both.
Flocking. Flamingos are for "flocking" other Airstreamers. We leave a flamingo sink strainer. We are slowly noticing some of the things you mention. We have scripture on our Airstream so we should be safe.
Are you suggesting that God does not approve of things of a sexual nature?
@@jamesmonroe2808 Reading through these 800+ responses, she does appear to be the only one that thinks that way. Which is fine because that is "her" belief system.
Just drive around any middle to upper middle class neighborhood here in Ft. Worth, Texas...and you'll see the Flamingo and/or upside down pineapple symbols often...Most neighborhoods have their own sub culture....Amazing how prevalent it has become!
No doubt!
Hey Y'alls, I'm In The Azle TX Area, Where & On What Streets Exactly Have You Seen These At??? 🍆😜😜🤣🤣😁😎
What do you expect when your RV is named "Hump free"? 😅
🤣🤣
It's a crazy thing that people want to swing. Not me. I love my hubby! After 50 years I'll keep my one and only. I hope we see you guys on our 1 million mile road trip.
Not for us either lol. 30 years with each other, no interest in starting over :)
No man can compare to mine either 🙂
If I were single, perhaps. But I wouldn't agree to swing either. I respect my woman. But I'm sure that if the question were asked to a very large number of only married men, most would not mind it (anonymously, of course). They would never admit it to anyone. *I'm not speaking for all men, mind you.
Love it. I had no clue ty for the heads up I'd of never thought nor partake in 😂👍🇨🇦
After almost a year of full-time rv life, I've only seen the pineapple symbols and signs once on a group of rv's while I was walking our dog. Luckily, it was just an overnight stay on our way to our next work assignment, so we didn't get a knock. I'll keep my eyes out for scrubbies 😂. Great video
lol thank you!
My wife and I have been swinging for 15+ years. We know about pineapples and flamingos, but this loofah story is a new one. I checked with some friends who have also been swingers for many years and it was news to them also. Maybe it's a regional "signal" that is only understood in certain parts of the country. And yes, we are RVers too, but never practice both at the same time. 😄
It got started in "The Villages" retirement community down south of Ocala Florida. It is HUGE down there.
Live and let live.
Omg you two are hilarious. I’ve never heard about the scrubby thing and what the heck about flamingo and pineapple? Never heard about those either. Well if we see you in our travels and invite you to a bbq? That’s all you’re getting lol
Flamingo and upside down pineapple I believe mean the same.
There are some things I will never understand lol
🤔 Guess who is getting a box of loofas for Christmas from their kids... lol I have never heard of this, and like most things, now that it's brought to my attention, I will be seeing loofas everywhere!
That would be something our son would do 🙄lol
Omg. Im glad to know I'm not the only one who had no clue about scrubbies and what the colors mean. I guess I wont be buying any scrubbies to match the towels and rugs in the bathroom anymore 🤣
Yeah, we are done with them now also 🤣🤣
@@liferedesignedThere goes the scrubby industry. Many jobs will be lost. How about just not hanging them outside or on your golf cart.
This was all news to me to!! I'm solidly a washcloth woman apparently😂 Love you guys, appreciate the hard conversation someone had to address it.
Lmao it is a crazy world we are in for sure 🤣🤣
Sorry, but some countries still consider even a washcloth to be a secret sexual message. I'm serious. In one country, if a woman waves one at you, it means she is a prostitute! Yikes. It's amazing how so many different innocent things have sexual connotations associated with them. LOL...
Washcloth woman!!! That’s funny 😂 😂😂
LOL what color washcloth?????😳😵💫@@happytravelRV
'And she was washing daddy's face with it'. -Punch line from the washcloth joke.
As they say "Don't drop the loofah". Hilarious, start to finish!!
Id heard of the scrubbies. But listening to you guys made me spit my coffee.
Oh no! I’m sorry lol!
You two would laugh at the movie "Eating Rauol" 👊🤣👍
At our national RV rally last summer, the golf cart of one of the executives was decorated with loofahs and upside down pineapples dangling from every possible location. He was a great sport and kept them attached for the entire rally. We had plenty of fun with that.
That is too funny
I swear the Jeep Community's Ducks have their color codes too...
oh no! lol
I was trying to talk my wife into buying an RV, I hope she doesn't see this, I'll really be dead in the water. LMAO
Just don’t hang your toiletries outside and you should be good 🤣🤣🤣
Been in the lifestyle for years and never hear of the loofa thing. I will say lifestyle clubs use colors you listed kinda match the wristbands people are given when they check in.
In the 30+ years my wife and our partners been in the lifestyle, both as singles and as part of a couple/throuple, I/we've used the wristband color matches at lifestyle clubs/parties, that's legitimately how I originally met my wife and then a couple years later how we met our now permanent boyfriend and girlfriend to create our poly Quad, and of course we have used pineapples.
I got a multi pack of those things for Christmas from my uncle who the rest of the family thinks is odd. Should I be worried? They are different colors.
🤣🤣🤣
Full time RVd for nearly 4 years in Las Vegas many times . . .never seen any Loufa's, Pinapples, or Flamingo's (except The Flamingo casino), must be a Florida thing!
They have this in the villages in Florida also. yes, a different meaning for each color... lol good video thanks for sharing it with me...
Anytime 😂😂😂
OMG! Trailer campgrounds have sure gotten weirder since the days of my youth.
Thank you for a most informative video. I never owned an RV. After watching and contemplating I have entered the RV market. Obviously, the kitchen, living room, chandelier, will be replaced by a bar, stripper pole and mirror on the ceiling. Is it appropriate to hang several different colors up? Traveling the country till the saving account is empty suddenly sounds enticing.
Great video very funny. BTW, unless you like a lot of drama and unnecessary stress keep the scrubby packed away.
Well said!
First time I've heard of this. Crazy fun stuff!! My wife and I are open minded, but this pushes the limit.
I'm 63. I do a lot of camping and outdoors stuff. Had a couple say to me at a campground this summer, "You should enjoy a 'Colorado Campfire'. We were like "What?". Look that one up. I was SHOCKED! That's all I'll say.
Oh now we are scared 🤣🤣🤣
Omg, no thanks
It didn’t say how to remove it? You know what, never mind.
Yikes! Not for me, for all kinds of reasons.
Just looked it up. Almost fell of the toilet 😂 needless to say, I’m on my way to the dollar store for marshmallows 😅
No wonder I was never asked...my camping days were always just me and the motorcycle! Apparently being solo, I had nothing to bring to the table.
I don’t think the “table” is what they are inviting people to bring themselves to 😂
not true single men are in the lifestyle too
way for swingers to identify each other. If you see someone wearing an upside-down pineapple badge or pin, it means that they're actively looking for a partner swap. An upside-down pineapple on someone's front porch can be seen as an invitation to join a swinger party.
Oh my goodness! I’m never going to be able to leave my RV. Now that I know more about these things…if my mouth doesn’t say it, my facial expression definitely will 😂
I have never stayed in a campground or rv park with my rig. And now, thanks to this video, I never will!
I have never noticed hanging Loufas before. Now I'm scared. I busted out laughing imagining this at the Villages.
The villages are a whole other world!
I've heard about the upside-down pineapples but ; being that my wife and I are new to the RV live, this is a good tip. You better be sure of who you are "inviting" before you attempt a swap meet. Some people may take an offence to even the mere attempt. Sharing is not caring
Great video.🤣
I didn't know about the messaging but will be aware as I head out on my journey. I love Kerri's reactions.
Nice, no judgement but straightforward video. Keep having fun and stay safe.
Thank you Michael! Lol😀
First my wife and I are not swingers. We learned about this stuff during a conversation on the beach with other family members. Brother in law , sister in law and their families. With long time family friends.
A family friend kept getting knocks on their door and being invited to a gathering of swingers. And they didn’t understand why all of a sudden this started happening. And their son explained to them about their pineapple hanging on their door. We were clueless. And laughing out loud.
On the beach other families started chiming in and explaining this info to our group. And ended up being very entertaining day on the beach. We learned about the flamingos , white rocks in the front of the house and so on. In about 30 minutes this conversation include about 6 unrelated families laughing and talking about this. Which non of them are swingers. It was very informative.
Yeah the more we are exposed to, the wilder the conversation gets 😂😂 not our thing either lol
Weve been living a non-monogamous lifestyle for 12 years and Ive never heard of the Loofa thing...
I'd like to think that most ENM/Swinger types would be respectful...and not stalk you like that but there are creepy people in every circle.
Sorry you had that experience but situations like that make for the BEST stories! Thanks for the giggle!
I am sure the whole scrubby thing is someone making fun of the villages. The villages have the highest std rate in Florida. Yes I live in Florida.they put scrubbies to find their carts. As you might guess swingers would not advertise so specifically.
good to hear theres still people out there offended by this stuff. Ive heard enough. Over and out.
@snort455 Snort... my dude.... what are you talking about? Not seeing anyone being offended in this thread...
on a serious note :those loofah poofy scrubby ball things things hold a lot of bacteria if you have scratch or scrape you should not use loofa's or that puffy scrubber thingy because it can cause a bacterial infection
everything ive said here can be verified by a google search
i'm seriously rethinking the rv life.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
1st the rainbow gets highjacked, then the pineapple and Flamingo and now the loofa. I hope the bald head and goatee remain anonymous or I'm in for a new challenge.
🤣🤣
You guys are a blast. Funny and educational. I think maybe we will have a flag made with a picture of "Wolter" (from Jeff Dunham) so these people will leave me the hell alone!! 😂😂
I would sooo buy that!
I remember buying a nice shoulder bag with pineapples all over it, i think they are a fun looking fruit. My horror to discover the meaing lmao. I still use it sometimes but mainly im glad to be aware of the meaning incase of being approached. And i am an internet raised young millenial!
When we were here in 2020, there was a Class A with an upside-down pineapple about 2-3 spots away. We had to look into it to know what it meant, too. Yeah, that's gonna be a "no" from us, dawg! LOL
Sometimes it is WAY better to be in the dark about things like this!
@@liferedesigned Agreed! 🤣
We heard about the upside down pineapple. But that's it. We were modified after learning about it from some fellow travelers. We all had a good laugh, but we haven't experienced that one yet 😅
You guys should try it. It’s fun! Keeps things interesting
Nah we will pass 🤣🤣
@@liferedesigned 😂it’s definitely not for everyone. And 100% not for the jealous
So right, it the best thing we have ever done.
I find it less offensive than the LGBTQ-WTF stuff. Live and let live.
2 out of the 3 married couples my husband and i know. All 3 went to the swingers side. Only 1 of the married couples have servived.
I love spicy Sunday content 😂🎉 also new fear unlocked. D: I hope I don’t see scrubbies
lol…tell me about it..every time I see something out of the ordinary, I’m going to think it’s a “thing” 🤷♀️
This family recently bought a house in our neighborhood that came with two sets of flamingos in the front yard. Now that you mentioned it, I wonder if the new homeowners have any idea what messages they are sending out.
Oh no! 😂 you should go introduce yourself and ask if they have seen the swinger video….😀
@@liferedesigned - Let me think about that one. 🦩
My wife and I just moved into a 55 and over park and we saw this and how strange it looked. Now I know this and tell my wife , she will freek out and want to move. LOL
🤣🤣 oh no! Hope we didn’t ruin a nice place for you!
Hahah you made my day just now, I van camp often all around South Florida and this is now new to me, I have never paid attention to other people. I have seen some strange stuff in the camp grounds, but as I van camp my van is very discreet most people assume it's a regular van I keep it very Low Key also. I was in a Poly relationship for 10 years happily married and we had girlfriend. But we never advertise keep posting hopefully I never get a knock like that. But most people stay away from my site as I have 100lbs black German shepherd that travels with me.
😂 I really do learn something new every day 😅 thanks you two!!!
Anytime! We can’t keep all this knowledge to ourselves 🤣🤣
We had Furries show up at a campground .... never new people dressed up as animals and live there life ... crazy!
Oh wow! Another thing to watch out for..Never heard of furries…
@@liferedesigned Interesting...I've heard of furries, but had no idea the colored scrubby thing existed.
Well I’m so clueless I guess I need to get educated on furries & pineapples as well . . .😂
🤣🤣 this is why we all need each other!
Be careful when on Google 🤣🤣
Guy has a great voice for host type work. Guy could make a good living doing lots of voice work.
We are stationary and just changed parks. Sure enough the neighbor came over and started talking and said he was a "naturalist" and liked to run around naked in the woods. One day in the first few days he came out of his RV with only a t-shirt on. Grossed out my wife to see some 80 year old like that.
We requested another space to get away from the pervert. The park manager was not happy. They are gone for the winter so don't know what will happen when they return in the spring. People are the worst part of RV life.
Omg! We just had this conversation ourselves about how many places seem to have naked people running around 🤣🤣
We found it is much worse in a 55+ park which is why we changed parks. A lack of decorum and modesty seem to be early signs of dementia, LOL.@@liferedesigned
My sister-in-laws’ parents live in a “clothes is optional” condo in Florida. Yes, my SIL and her family are disgusted, but that’s where her parents retired to. 😂
OMG a dried flower arrangement.......
In the 80’s my secretary and her family were rv’rs. She told me there were times when the wives would end up in other rv’s with different husbands. No mention of scrubbies though.
First they ruin pineapples now they're gonna mess with my purple scrubby? Sheesh! lol Thats it! Im no longer leaving my scrubby hanging in the shower....Im hiding it under the sink from here on out...lol Thanks for the heads up!
🤣🤣🤣 scrubbies are going to be locked down everywhere!!
Thanks for the education! Based on your "We keep to ourselves" mantra, I think we could be friends.... But we all keep to ourselves so that would make it difficult.🤔
You can always wave from across the street 🤣🤣
I worked at a campground in NH last spring, summer and fall. Saw flamingoes but never thought anything about it!
Now you will have VERY open eyes!
@@liferedesigned I have had met some strange-acting people while camping. Now I'm wondering what they were really up to.
So what does a flamingo mean. I’ve yet to see someone answer this question
Laughing at this! My husband and I also live in FL, and I can assure you, if we ever run into you at campground we'll just say hello and leave it at that - we keep to ourselves as well. This loofah/pineapple thing is a BIG thing at The Villages near Ocala. Definitely a hard pass.
Lol…sounds good! 😀
Best video ever! Thanks for the education. I was clueless. I wonder how many times in our many years of travels I've said "Oh, I love your purple loofah! It's my favorite color!!!" 😮 😳 😂
Oh no! Lol.. that’s too funny!
Your wife is right "not using a scrubby ever again" ! We're having a Scrubby burning tonight!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not an RV'r (yet), but "we knew a couple" that upon taking early retirement, bought a motorhome and basically swung and partied their way across the USA. I never heard the thing about loofas, but I believe they met couples they made contacts with through the internet at various campgrounds (some clothing optional) and took it from there. They seemed to have a pretty good time with it all, and why shouldn't they?
Watching this now. The guy in the next site across from us has a 4 foot tall flamingo with 6 different color luffa necklace.
Lol…you enjoy that! 😂
LMAO !!! --- I never heard of any of this before LOL ....
- I'll have to think of some goofy stuff to hang off my vehicle that means nothing but will make people wonder 😄 .... I'm glad I keep to myself with my dogs most of the time living up here in the Sticks ... if I ever make my way down south I will have absolutely no clue what all of these secret little things mean, but I think it's hilarious.
Same here - going to start hanging random stuff out to keep people guessing lol
@@liferedesigned 😁😁😁👍👍
I don't know about loofas or pineapple's. All that I know is that after a few thousand years of literary masterpieces, we somehow reverted back to pictograms and hieroglyphics...
Very funny and certainly informative video. What is the rest of the story? Did you ever see this guy again or did you just drop the whole thing and not go over for drinks? LOL. My sister lives in The Villages and she told me and my wife a couple of years that if you see a woman wearing gold shoes, then she is looking for a date. What a wild thing!
The rest of the story was abrupt…No and No! 😀
We were not aware of the gold shoes though lol😂
This was one of the most entertaining rv videos I've watched. Here I am searching for some maintenance information and here comes the attack of the scrubbies. Guess youtube thought I needed to know this. You know... just incase. I had heard of the pineapples and the flamingos before. But we have never seen them yet. But the scrubbies is an all new thing. Wow...
QOS- Queen of Spades tattoo(♠) or symbol also popular. There are a lot of campgrounds in TX that are "lifestyle friendly".
??? Meaning
OMGeeeee..... I'm 64 yrs old and my world is shook.... Scrubbies???? They have ruined scrubbies??? Is nothing off limits ??
No doubt 🤣🤣🤣
The Villages (Florida): Hold our 🍺
