While we may have stopped watching these channels for the reasons given - there are some great creators mentioned and they may be a great fit for you. What channels have you stopped watching?
We’re with you. Scripted, overly commercial RV channels aren’t interesting anymore. We’re watching those who actually travel and explore. Best of success on your upcoming redesign.
Used to like Switch it Up but they kind of rub me the wrong way. They go out and buy a semi and spend all this money customizing it, then seeing the Spacecraft. Low key just show offs.
Im new here and I haven't watched too many videos but i appreciate your honesty and the fact that you seem relatable. You act like adults, and i appreciate that because the algorithm suggests some really weird ppl lately 😂.
Happy Anniversary. My husband & I just started watching TH-cam. One of our first ones was Lets turn it up world. We recently stopped watching them. As we get a fake vibe from them. We watch your videos when they are uploaded. You guys are down to earth and honest. We like watching Rving with Luck. Since when we finally get our rv, we will be boondocking most of the time. Most of the ones we have watched seem so fake and just hocking a much of stuff. If I see another commercial about an rv mattress, I am going to pull my hair out.
I quit watching RV Odd Couple because I think they are fake with the religion stuff. It’s about the money people can donate and free labor as far as I’m concerned.
Thank You! And also, thanks for understanding what the true message of this video was. There are some great channels there that we believe you will find useful!
Is there a scrip sent out for what is to be covered each month? It seems when one topic is covered it's covered by every channel at the same time. If this months topic is black tanks, 15 channels will cover the same thing.
There are a lot of “collaboration Groups” that think doing the same video at the same time will make them all famous or something 🤣🤣 Never understood how that works because by the second video I am always asleep!
CONTENT SUGGESTION: would love to hear your opinion on which credit cards you get the best travel perks with. After extensive travel, which banks are most convenient? Is one gas card better than others?
Congrats 29 years past the honeymoon and the discovering stage and just enjoying each other and the nice thing is no one interfering with your life. To 29 more years CHEERS.
Really enjoyed your list, as you went through each of them it was funny because we had stopped watching each of them too. There were a couple we had never heard of but the RV related ones were all ones we stopped watching too. Thanks for being bold enough to share your list. Many of your reasons were that same as us.- Kyle and Michelle
Thanks guys, appreciate the support. Thought it was a great way to showcase some larger channels while also showing that there is a time and a season for every channel. All of these channels at one time or another were part of our journey.
So many similarities in channels I’ve dropped, but the ah-ha moment for me dropping Todd and Shiela’s channel was about a year ago when I was watching a Brazin Britts video(who I also unsubscribed from because I got tired of them hustling their paid members program excessively) that showed Todd’s channel showing up to a campground with a full on production company film crew. And that was way before the HD bandwagon they have now. I can only imagine what it like to be camped near them now. Great video…thank you.👍🏼😎
Interesting timing Rick. We were just approached by a couple in our current RV Park that brought up a similar point - they thanked us as we were the only TH-camrs that they met on the road that didn't have decals plastered everywhere, signage out and everything else - apparently we are not the norm as it becomes a circus where a lot of these people go. While I can't speak for the ones you mentioned - we have seen similar things from other channels. Maybe it is the "look at me generation" lol
@@liferedesigned You just keep doin’ you…please. I hope to build my channel more hopefully once we hit the road, but with more of an undercover approach. I’ll have stickers and t-shirts to hand out of course, but you won’t see a six foot banner on my front or rear caps. Safe travels and thank you for keeping it real.👍🏼😎
I stopped watching "The RV Odd Couple". When they were full-timing in their fifth-wheel with their young daughter, they were great about sharing "the good, the bad, the ugly" about full-time RV living. They eventually purchased a tired, old, RV park in the south and their focus shifted to their efforts to bring this RV Park up to date. At that point, I lost interest.
I love how you made this video :) happy anniversary 🎉 I stopped watching anything that tried to sell me stuff on every video short AND finding out quickly when meeting them that they are super fake! We came on the road to make friends. We still have a house we could be sitting at but we choose this for friendships. So when I think I would get along with a family and they are snobs or not even close to what they put in front of the camera then I’m done! Hope to see you all out there :)
Not really in the genre you're speaking of-- but sort of I guess-- I kind of stopped watching VanCity Life (Chrome) and now even Mav. Too much of the same. Now, I look forward to channels like, "Snow and Curt," "Life is too Short" (because I love English humor as they RV) and for something totally nonRV-ing, "Sailing Zatara" which I suppose would be RVing on the open waters.
Really enjoy the honesty of your channel. Good content! really enjoy Josh the Rv need. He is quite informative! Love Brian and Michelle from LivinRVision!
Great video! As a subscriber to some of the channels mentioned, I to have stopped watching for the same reason. At the end of the day, I either want the info I'm interested in learning or entertainment to enjoy. Happy Anniversary!
It's as though no one has any original thoughts anymore. I feel like everyone looks at whatever Keep Your Daydream is doing and follows suit. We actually had a little "run in" with one of the channels you mentioned. I believe they thought we were knuckling in on their "niche". You know what Cindy does for a living so you can guess which channel. I'm pretty much down to watching you guys, The Hanks and Wild RV Life.
I love you guys and cannot wait to meet up with you two!! lol yall are just like us ! Bob talking about if you got the grapefruits to make a video about who you unsubscribed from!! 🥰
I agree with you on Switch it up and enjoy the journey.life. A couple switch it up families camp near me and they really give me cult vibes. They even have signs on their rigs etc. Not to mention that insane rig they have now. Happy anniversary!
I subscribed to several of the ones mention, and I totally agree: scripted, long, and after you've seen a couple you've basically seen them all. My main reason for not watching is so many have become the "expert" on how terrible RV's and RV dealers are. My main reason for watching was the travel videos they used to do, now its gloom and doom. Happy Anniversary!
Happy anniversary 🎉🎉🎉 How many years? I have never heard of Mr Beast. I have recently dropped a few channels. When they come off the road and turn the channel into a homesteading channel or sell the RV and travel around the world that just isn't for me. The only channel that I still follow who has sold their RV is Gone With the Wynn's. They have a boat and are now sailing the world. My wife and I only part time, but we have a 42' Class A diesel pusher. We don't have a channel though.
My favorites are suite travels, happilyeverhanks, watts on wheels, and really like sleeper dude. I don’t like switch it up for several reasons. One thing about watching videos with HDT is people are buying semi trucks that never drove them or had any training and get to jump in and drive and guys that have cdl have to go through so much crap to get and keep them. I think they should have to have some training before driving. Just my opinion. Anyway those are my favorites. Great information keep it up.
ALL the channels you have mentioned here, I have unsubscribed to as their messages and purpose have changed from RV and people but now? It’s all fake and all about $$ and branding promotion. Thank you Bob & Karri for being so real and keeping it about your audience and not about the $$.
OMG! All but 3 of these channels I used to watch weekly!! I dropped them for the very same reasons. Must be why I love your channel. I will admit that at first your channel was/is an acquired taste. I think because of the direct and sort of in-their face approach. Still working on my wife about that, LOL. Another channel I used to watch every video was Liz Amazing! Now that she is on a mission to solve all the woes of the RV manufacturing problems I’ve lost interest. That and the breakup and feuding with Paul drove us away.
Thank you for understanding the message, seems like it gets lost on a few people. Our content is always meant to elevate the community. More of this message will be noticed starting 5.23.24
I love Matt and his channel. I stopped following him for the same reason, I got my RV. I learned a lot from his channel. I also got his toilet treatment 👍🏼 There are so many channels, including mine 😂 and I can’t follow them all but I do watch other videos, like yours, when I come across them 😊
I hate to say it because I really loved them but I’m having the same issue with Switch It Up. They were one of our favorite channels. Such great personalities and seemed like genuinely nice people but this whole new direction has just turned me completely off.
You may enjoy 'You're Never 2 Old 2 Travel'. They are older than the 2 of you but Frank reminds me of Bob. Funny sense of humor and they play off each other; similar to the way ya'll do.
It is best to unsubscribe from any channel that you no longer watch. It actually helps that channel by allowing impressions to go to a viewer that might actually be interested in their content.
We totally agree with your assessments, we unsub’d from the same exact TH-camrs as well. I had a channel I dumped that I used to love! - Stradman: his camera work and over the top obnoxious behaviors got so old! Just seems phony and unrelatable.
What may not be important to you, may be for others. A lot of people just found channels that they didn't know existed. That was the point of the video - promoting other channels that may not be to our liking but may serve a purpose to others.
I watch Matt, but he loves all tires too much. I’m in the market for a fifth where that’s the reason I watch but nowadays with all the issues with rigs makes me wonder if I really want one. I agree scripted turns me off, I like honest reviews on travel and how the rigs are working for them. Really enjoy you two .
Oh my gosh! We so strongly agree with your first two! We also stopped watching both for the same reasons. We loved Todd and Sheila at the beginning but when they started charging exorbitant amounts for their subscriptions/members it just seemed so Jim and Tammy Faye and this new rig they or someone bought “for their crew” i just ran out of nopes but we never knew if we were alone in this opinion.
It’s like some kinda cult following or I don’t know what. Ridiculous as I see it. But hey spending ginormous amounts of money like they have , well I’m not seeing a return on their money and then some. You’ll see that whole rig for sale in the rv trader I’ll bet.😂😂
I don't mind them getting that rig, it is awesome and I would like to have the opportunity of getting one like that some day. But when they started charging just to see the videos of how they got it and they announce the huge list of sponsors they lost me right there.
@@rleha7788 exactly! It’s not them having it, it’s the way they obtained it. They are just too financially motivated for me to believe that they are doing this to benefit the crew. People who are truly called to serve don’t look to live higher than those they serve. Just my opinion.
@@TheRoamingWolfs You really should reach out to Todd and ask him these questions. They will answer all your emails. You have a gross misunderstanding of how they go the rig and what it is intended for. Hear is a small info nugget. Its used in disaster recover to assist in clean ups and support of first responders. The sponsors paid for the 1st year, not the entire thing. Oh, and the money they charged for the build videos, that did not even cover the cost of having the editing done. They are not making money with the new rig, they are actually serving communities. I don't care if you dont watch them or support them, but dont badmouth them for being the only channel trying to make a difference. Dont take my work for it, email and ask them.
To be honest, I only heard or watch one or two of the TH-camr you listed. The van life people, or the pie lady. They lost me too, when they got into a van. Also Matt's RV review, now that I have new RV, I don't need another one. Interesting fact, we used to own the same RV as you, but my wife wasn't happy with it.. She wanted something small, I am not sue why. You know what they say, happy wife, happy life. :)
29 year's. Congratulations. Sold everything you own. How does it work. Considering the same thing but. Cheap expenses and low income is holding me back and what's the plan. Gonna grow old and die on the road. Don't know your financial situation just weighing all options
We have covered this in other videos but in a nutshell, we have zero intention of ever coming off the road. However if we were forced to, we have the financial means to go back to that lifestyle
That’s why I’m about ready to stop watching Grateful Glamper. Not only are they in a giant rig, but the amount of editing in their videos is overwhelming sometimes and seems very scripted.
Hi, do y'all ever plan on rving in California? And if not, why? There's a lot of thousand trails out there that would be fun to see you discuss and review
I hear you on Switch It Up. Once they bought their mega huge truck and trailer it seems like that's all it's about and I'm kind of turned off by it. And it's too bad as I actually liked them both. Also I just unsubscribed to Paving New Paths for the same reason you mentioned for one of the others, they had some issues with their Grand Design and decided not to stay on the road anymore while their kids are little, so now their videos are all about getting into their house and chasing the kids around. I'm 66 years old, been there, done that, don't really want to see about somebody getting into a house. Again, like their personalities, so sad to stop watching them.
We've been watching Matt, Andrea, Will and Jen on @MattsRVReviews for a few years now and I have to agree with you that it has gotten a bit sloppy in the last year. The wife and I enjoy seeing different models and styles reviewed, but we want to see more of what the unit has. Not just a walkthrough with a few drawers being opened. The shower height assessment that Will does is helpful, and Matt's prime pooping position review is as well. We still watch their vids, but often have to go over to Josh's channel or Myles RV for more Indepth details.
I think if we ever crossed paths I could go on for a half hour about one of your choices that I happen to agree with, just not appropriate for the public square LOL.Otherwise, I think most of it is a natural arc. You're drawn toward relatable people and content. Then over time, your tastes change, or they make a shift, either of which makes their content less interesting. So, you move on. No foul on anyone, just a force of nature for the most part. Here's a suggestion for some different RV-related content if you haven't stumbled on them yet: Nigel & Sue Adventures. An Australian couple not quite retired yet, full time in a very well done DIY 4x4 Sprinter. They get to some fascinating places and some of the best videography I've seen on any TH-cam content.
Appreciate this. I really feel the same way. I know some are not full time anymore but act like they are. That’s ok, but seems fake to me so I move on.
It doesn't take a lot of courage to state that you stopped watching a channel because you just don't have a use for the content (i.e. RV reviews since you've found the one you like), but calling out Enjoy the Journey for feeling fake/scripted earned my like and subscription. I couldn't agree more, something just doesn't click with them. Congratulations on 29 years of marriage!
Kinda the underlying message of this video - lots of great channels that no matter the size, people have discovered or never heard of. All worth checking out
I stopped watching a couple because either the content has become repetitive or I feel like I’m watching an infomercial/ being sold or seeing a “this is horrible” or shocked face thumbnails. I understand the importance of doing some of this stuff because of how the algorithm world works, but I’m just done with it. I missed the times that people did this because of their passion and not for clicks to make only money. I say keep the passion and integrity and if you can make money while doing it, then that’s a plus. I just started my channel as a hobby to share my travel experiences as city folk who are new to rv life exploring the US. I enjoy photography and sharing my itinerary with family and friends. If my channel gets followers great! If not great! I’m doing it cause it’s something I love to do and I never want to trade that for just making money. Just my opinion
We started out full time about the same time. Some of the people I watched early in my process have quit full timing. If I see a house or they are creating content in the house, I lose interest very quickly. Some are so negative and I just can not watch. You two are doing great. Keep up the good work.
The fastest way to bring down a channel is through silence. We thank you for taking the time to comment on our video. It not only helps its performance but also the overall reach of our channel. We appreciate you!
I stopped watching Wingman Nation. I was subscribed because he is an RVer and used to run campgrounds, so he had some good insight on things RV related. As of late though, he has taken his channel from RV related stuff and added political content with which I don't agree.
Happy Anniversary. I still watch LF Mike. Rough around the edges but funny. No more NF Eric for me. He`s become very fake, repetitive and the drama with Lola was inexcusable.
Watched 1 video from them 2 years ago and wasn’t impressed. The name alone that implies they are full time but yet only an occasional weekend tripper at best - said all we needed to know about them
I don't think I've ever watched a video, let alone heard of the RV-related channels you mentioned here. I've watched a decent amount of RV-related videos, but not more than 1 or 2 from any specific channel; the only channels that I've subscribed to are yours and cheapRVliving. It appears that the topic of this video has been nipping at your heels for a while now, judging by the occasional comments about said topic over the past couple of months in the videos you have uploaded. I hope making this video has 'put to rest' this topic and that you get back to what caught my attention and made me subscribe: daily RV life and the things you put up with on a daily (or every other day) basis and showing the places you travel to/stay. I understand Bob has a demanding job that takes up most of his time; perhaps let Karri make content of what she does while Bob is slaving away working. I dunno, it just seems from my point of view that the focus has recently shifted from making videos about what RV life is really like (most likely similar to life in general...uneventful 90% of the time) to pointing out the 'fake' channels. I made a comment in a previous video about this; you do you and let them be them...people will decide in due time who they want/don't want to watch. I am not trying to ruffle feathers or tell you how you should run your channel...ok, maybe I am a little bit. I really do enjoy your content and watch each new video soon after you upload one. The past few have just not been like it was when I first discovered and subscribed to your channel several months ago, in my opinion. Take care and be safe...
While we may have stopped watching these channels for the reasons given - there are some great creators mentioned and they may be a great fit for you. What channels have you stopped watching?
We’re with you. Scripted, overly commercial RV channels aren’t interesting anymore. We’re watching those who actually travel and explore. Best of success on your upcoming redesign.
Thank you! 5.23.24 - you should be pleased
Older couple channels = clickbait fest. Younger couple channels = cringefest
For y'all to tackle this subject without being hateful and disrespectful shows so much about your decency and character. ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words! We appreciate you! 🙌
Used to like Switch it Up but they kind of rub me the wrong way. They go out and buy a semi and spend all this money customizing it, then seeing the Spacecraft. Low key just show offs.

lol Bob’s biggest peeve are the mattresses and snap pads
So funny because I think we all have a little bit of that in us . we get used to something we get sick of it and then we move on.
absolutely!
Several of these channels match the ones I quit as well.
It really is amazing how many of us shared the same channels at one point in time. Each one of these channels were part of our journey :)
I totally agree with you. I was following most of the same channels and stopped watching for the same reasons. Must be a RI thing.
MUST BE!
Rv odd couple , went full on preacher
I quit watching RV Odd Couple because I think they are fake with the religion stuff. It’s about the money people can donate and free labor as far as I’m concerned.
Happy anniversary! 🎉 Honestly, some of these I didn't know about...now I've got to look them up. 😂 Thanks guys!
Thank You! And also, thanks for understanding what the true message of this video was. There are some great channels there that we believe you will find useful!
It's really cool to see you have sponsors. That tells me that you are definitely a channel worth looking into 👍🇨🇦
Happy Happy Anniversary Guys!!
Stay safe and take time for yourselves!!
Thanks Greg - appreciate it!

Thank you!
I was waiting to hear Endless RVing!
Watched them once a couple of years ago. Never found them entertaining.
Happy Anniversary. Glad to see how much you have enjoyed NC.
Thank you! Was an amazing time!
Well i have to say this is one of best video I’ve seen from you guys , I don’t normally watch your stuff, nicely laid back and well done
Glad you enjoyed it

🤣🤣
I love every TH-cam you don't watch especially switcher up is my favorite
BTW - Happy Anniversary! We’ll be celebrating our 32nd anniversary this year! It’s uncommon nowadays so congrats and keep the real videos comings
32! That is awesome! We are definitely in a club that is very uncommon!
Happy Anniversary! Thanks for the videos.
Thank you!

Thanks Steve! All great channels that were part of our journey at some point, just the nature of the beast
Happy Anniversary!
Love you guys. Can't wait to connect up on the road!
If you see us - definitely stop us! We love meeting subscribers!
It's as though no one has any original thoughts anymore. I feel like everyone looks at whatever Keep Your Daydream is doing and follows suit. We actually had a little "run in" with one of the channels you mentioned. I believe they thought we were knuckling in on their "niche".

Yeah it is crazy that a platform with millions of viewers there are issues like that.
I love you guys and cannot wait to meet up with you two!! lol yall are just like us ! Bob talking about if you got the grapefruits to make a video about who you unsubscribed from!! 🥰
Bob is Bob for sure!
Another great video, several of the channels you mention I have also quit and agree with everything you said about them. Keep up the good work. TP
Will do! Thank you for your support - means the world to us!
Happy Anniversary. 29 is an accomplishment.
I agree with you on Switch it up and enjoy the journey.life. A couple switch it up families camp near me and they really give me cult vibes. They even have signs on their rigs etc. Not to mention that insane rig they have now. Happy anniversary!
Thank you ❤️
Howdy Bob and Karri.
Hope you had a great anniversary weekend.
Stay safe and watch out for tornadoes, lots of bad weather out there.
Thanks, will do! We are currently a bit more north so I believe we are out of the path ... fingers crossed!
Happy Anniversary & we stopped watching Switch it up & Our Everyday Getaway
Hear those sentiments a lot!
Enjoy the Journey fellas off a long time ago for me. They just advertise, but don’t really talk about travel anymore
I subscribed to several of the ones mention, and I totally agree: scripted, long, and after you've seen a couple you've basically seen them all. My main reason for not watching is so many have become the "expert" on how terrible RV's and RV dealers are. My main reason for watching was the travel videos they used to do, now its gloom and doom.

Thank you! We agree 100%! We think you will like the redesign coming 5.23.24

When they come off the road and turn the channel into a homesteading channel or sell the RV and travel around the world that just isn't for me. The only channel that I still follow who has sold their RV is Gone With the Wynn's. They have a boat and are now sailing the world. My wife and I only part time, but we have a 42' Class A diesel pusher. We don't have a channel though.
Thank you and we will check them out
My favorites are suite travels, happilyeverhanks, watts on wheels, and really like sleeper dude. I don’t like switch it up for several reasons. One thing about watching videos with HDT is people are buying semi trucks that never drove them or had any training and get to jump in and drive and guys that have cdl have to go through so much crap to get and keep them. I think they should have to have some training before driving. Just my opinion. Anyway those are my favorites. Great information keep it up.
The Hanks do a fantastic job! Great kids
ALL the channels you have mentioned here, I have unsubscribed to as their messages and purpose have changed from RV and people but now? It’s all fake and all about $$ and branding promotion. Thank you Bob & Karri for being so real and keeping it about your audience and not about the $$.
Thank you for your support ❤️
I also have stopped watching Less Junk, More Journey.
I wondered if I was the only one. Their content changed and something feels off.
Keep Your Daydream as well. Mostly because my wife and I have been RVing for 10 years and I think we just outgrew them.
Maybe we'll make it on one of yalls list some day, lol😂
Nothing wrong with being on this list - at one point in time they were all part of our journey.
Happy Anniversary!
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Happy Anniversary Chuck and Penelope!❤
Thank You! ❤️❤️
Funny that Everything Auto "was" my go to towing channel, but I also gave up on it.
Great people though, just lost interest and don’t have the time we used to

We agree we are an acquired taste and never intended to appeal to a mass audience. We are unapologetically us, and change for nobody 🤣
I appreciate how y'all always include good channel recommendations in your videos and uplifting good valuable content
Thank you for understanding the message, seems like it gets lost on a few people. Our content is always meant to elevate the community. More of this message will be noticed starting 5.23.24
We quit switch it up and enjoy the journey too for the same reason. All the others we don’t know anything about them.
Check em out - may find something you enjoy
Happy Anniversary.
Thank You! ❤️
I love Matt and his channel. I stopped following him for the same reason, I got my RV. I learned a lot from his channel. I also got his toilet treatment 👍🏼
There are so many channels, including mine 😂 and I can’t follow them all but I do watch other videos, like yours, when I come across them 😊
I hate to say it because I really loved them but I’m having the same issue with Switch It Up. They were one of our favorite channels. Such great personalities and seemed like genuinely nice people but this whole new direction has just turned me completely off.
Understandable. We love the message just not the current delivery. We do wish them the best
We quit one of those as well. It started feeling very cultish.
We hear that quite often!
You may enjoy 'You're Never 2 Old 2 Travel'. They are older than the 2 of you but Frank reminds me of Bob. Funny sense of humor and they play off each other; similar to the way ya'll do.
Thank you for the tip! Perfect example of what this video was about!
It is best to unsubscribe from any channel that you no longer watch. It actually helps that channel by allowing impressions to go to a viewer that might actually be interested in their content.
Yep
We totally agree with your assessments, we unsub’d from the same exact TH-camrs as well.
I had a channel I dumped that I used to love! - Stradman:
his camera work and over the top obnoxious behaviors got so old! Just seems phony and unrelatable.
Congratulations on 29 years🎉🎉
Thank You !!
Happy Anniversary Bob and Karri!! Thank you for mentioning us!! You guys ROCK!
Thank You! You can buy the drinks when we meetup at the cave!
@@liferedesigned Heck we’ll buy your meal!!
As much as I love your channel, I'm not sure that channels you quit is important to us.
What may not be important to you, may be for others. A lot of people just found channels that they didn't know existed. That was the point of the video - promoting other channels that may not be to our liking but may serve a purpose to others.
I watch Matt, but he loves all tires too much. I’m in the market for a fifth where that’s the reason I watch but nowadays with all the issues with rigs makes me wonder if I really want one. I agree scripted turns me off, I like honest reviews on travel and how the rigs are working for them. Really enjoy you two .
Thank you Walter! Appreciate the support
Thanks 🙏🏽 ❤ 😊
HAPPY Anniversary!
Thank you!
Oh my gosh! We so strongly agree with your first two! We also stopped watching both for the same reasons. We loved Todd and Sheila at the beginning but when they started charging exorbitant amounts for their subscriptions/members it just seemed so Jim and Tammy Faye and this new rig they or someone bought “for their crew” i just ran out of nopes but we never knew if we were alone in this opinion.
Like I said, great people, great message but can’t agree with the delivery method now. Nope, you are not alone!
It’s like some kinda cult following or I don’t know what. Ridiculous as I see it. But hey spending ginormous amounts of money like they have , well I’m not seeing a return on their money and then some. You’ll see that whole rig for sale in the rv trader I’ll bet.😂😂
I don't mind them getting that rig, it is awesome and I would like to have the opportunity of getting one like that some day. But when they started charging just to see the videos of how they got it and they announce the huge list of sponsors they lost me right there.
@@rleha7788 exactly! It’s not them having it, it’s the way they obtained it. They are just too financially motivated for me to believe that they are doing this to benefit the crew. People who are truly called to serve don’t look to live higher than those they serve. Just my opinion.
@@TheRoamingWolfs You really should reach out to Todd and ask him these questions. They will answer all your emails. You have a gross misunderstanding of how they go the rig and what it is intended for. Hear is a small info nugget. Its used in disaster recover to assist in clean ups and support of first responders. The sponsors paid for the 1st year, not the entire thing. Oh, and the money they charged for the build videos, that did not even cover the cost of having the editing done. They are not making money with the new rig, they are actually serving communities. I don't care if you dont watch them or support them, but dont badmouth them for being the only channel trying to make a difference. Dont take my work for it, email and ask them.
I tried Van Life and got bored really fast. More about commercials and very little about personalities. I like the personal touch.
To be honest, I only heard or watch one or two of the TH-camr you listed. The van life people, or the pie lady. They lost me too, when they got into a van. Also Matt's RV review, now that I have new RV, I don't need another one. Interesting fact, we used to own the same RV as you, but my wife wasn't happy with it.. She wanted something small, I am not sue why. You know what they say, happy wife, happy life. :)
Absolutely! Need to make the Mrs happy!
29 year's. Congratulations. Sold everything you own. How does it work. Considering the same thing but. Cheap expenses and low income is holding me back and what's the plan. Gonna grow old and die on the road. Don't know your financial situation just weighing all options
We have covered this in other videos but in a nutshell, we have zero intention of ever coming off the road. However if we were forced to, we have the financial means to go back to that lifestyle
Great analysis! Like y’all, I can’t relate at all with rolling around in a million $+ rig.
But I can certainly try if you wanted to put me in a BruderX I wouldn’t complain, just sayin
We believe in being humble- not everyone shares that belief.
That’s why I’m about ready to stop watching Grateful Glamper. Not only are they in a giant rig, but the amount of editing in their videos is overwhelming sometimes and seems very scripted.
I stop watching any TH-cam channel that starts getting OVERLY commercial, pushing products, touting sponsors, etc. (Looking at you Life Redesigned)
There is a time and a season for every channel. If you are not happy with ours, we wish you well with your search. It is 100% ok. It’s just TH-cam
Happy Anniversary. Hubby and I just celebrated 29 too! What day is yours? Ours is May 25.
Congrats! Ours was April 13th 😀
Hi, do y'all ever plan on rving in California? And if not, why? There's a lot of thousand trails out there that would be fun to see you discuss and review
On the agenda for 2025 😀
I hear you on Switch It Up. Once they bought their mega huge truck and trailer it seems like that's all it's about and I'm kind of turned off by it. And it's too bad as I actually liked them both. Also I just unsubscribed to Paving New Paths for the same reason you mentioned for one of the others, they had some issues with their Grand Design and decided not to stay on the road anymore while their kids are little, so now their videos are all about getting into their house and chasing the kids around. I'm 66 years old, been there, done that, don't really want to see about somebody getting into a house. Again, like their personalities, so sad to stop watching them.
Well said!
Same here, love Kevin and his style, but their channel is no longer RV related, that's the whole reason I watched their channel. They lost me.
I’m with you. I stopped watching many channels when they started or switched to vans. Nothing against that but not my interest.
exactly - there is a time and a season for every channel
We've been watching Matt, Andrea, Will and Jen on @MattsRVReviews for a few years now and I have to agree with you that it has gotten a bit sloppy in the last year. The wife and I enjoy seeing different models and styles reviewed, but we want to see more of what the unit has. Not just a walkthrough with a few drawers being opened. The shower height assessment that Will does is helpful, and Matt's prime pooping position review is as well. We still watch their vids, but often have to go over to Josh's channel or Myles RV for more Indepth details.
Whenever I’m bored and need a good commercial fix I always watch enjoy the journey dot life. 🤣
Ok, not gonna lie - this comment is funny! 🤣🤣
I think if we ever crossed paths I could go on for a half hour about one of your choices that I happen to agree with, just not appropriate for the public square LOL.Otherwise, I think most of it is a natural arc. You're drawn toward relatable people and content. Then over time, your tastes change, or they make a shift, either of which makes their content less interesting. So, you move on. No foul on anyone, just a force of nature for the most part. Here's a suggestion for some different RV-related content if you haven't stumbled on them yet: Nigel & Sue Adventures. An Australian couple not quite retired yet, full time in a very well done DIY 4x4 Sprinter. They get to some fascinating places and some of the best videography I've seen on any TH-cam content.
Will check them out! Thanks for the tip
happy anniversary to you two!
Thank You! ❤️❤️
Do you have a link to the pendants you and Bob wear? Thanks.
No, they were 2 of a kind.
I dont know any of those you tube channels. Happy Anniversary!
That may just be a good thing then 🤣 seriously though, some may be worth checking out - they at one time were all part of our journey!
Appreciate this. I really feel the same way. I know some are not full time anymore but act like they are. That’s ok, but seems fake to me so I move on.
👍
It doesn't take a lot of courage to state that you stopped watching a channel because you just don't have a use for the content (i.e. RV reviews since you've found the one you like), but calling out Enjoy the Journey for feeling fake/scripted earned my like and subscription. I couldn't agree more, something just doesn't click with them. Congratulations on 29 years of marriage!
Enjoyed, Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Happy Anniversary!!
Thank You ❤️❤️❤️
❤Happy Anniversary y’all!
The only one on your list I’ve even heard of is Mr. Beast….but, I’ve also never watch him either. 😂
lol, Ty! Some great channels on that list that you may enjoy. Half of the point of this video is exactly that message
Every channel you mentioned I used to follow and have stopped following for the same reasons.
Great minds!
We’ve not heard of any of these channels other than Matt’s RV Reviews and Mr. Beast. Haha!
Kinda the underlying message of this video - lots of great channels that no matter the size, people have discovered or never heard of. All worth checking out
I was sucked in how does 6k a month income end up with a space craft rv ..! In 3 years ..
Oh man. Ya’ll just unleashed some drama. Lol
lol, wasn’t a negative video by any stretch. They love drama so maybe it will give them some joy 🤣🤣
I stopped watching a couple because either the content has become repetitive or I feel like I’m watching an infomercial/ being sold or seeing a “this is horrible” or shocked face thumbnails. I understand the importance of doing some of this stuff because of how the algorithm world works, but I’m just done with it. I missed the times that people did this because of their passion and not for clicks to make only money. I say keep the passion and integrity and if you can make money while doing it, then that’s a plus. I just started my channel as a hobby to share my travel experiences as city folk who are new to rv life exploring the US. I enjoy photography and sharing my itinerary with family and friends. If my channel gets followers great! If not great! I’m doing it cause it’s something I love to do and I never want to trade that for just making money. Just my opinion
We started out full time about the same time. Some of the people I watched early in my process have quit full timing. If I see a house or they are creating content in the house, I lose interest very quickly. Some are so negative and I just can not watch. You two are doing great. Keep up the good work.
Thank You!
"TH-cam Channels We STOPPED Watching" THIS one.
The fastest way to bring down a channel is through silence. We thank you for taking the time to comment on our video. It not only helps its performance but also the overall reach of our channel. We appreciate you!
I quit watching: Little House on the Road, Trent and Allie, The Nomadic Movement.
I stopped watching Wingman Nation. I was subscribed because he is an RVer and used to run campgrounds, so he had some good insight on things RV related. As of late though, he has taken his channel from RV related stuff and added political content with which I don't agree.
yeah, we usually unsubscribe when the politics start coming. We see enough of that everywhere else
I only recognized one channel that you two don't watch anymore. (Matt's RV's)
👍
Happy Anniversary. I still watch LF Mike. Rough around the edges but funny. No more NF Eric for me. He`s become very fake, repetitive and the drama with Lola was inexcusable.
Glad I didn't make the list! 😅
I also realized today that this is the only RV channel I watch regularly.
I will take that as a HUGE compliment
🤝 me too...honest truth!
Thank You
I was waiting for you to say Endless RV’ing…
Watched 1 video from them 2 years ago and wasn’t impressed. The name alone that implies they are full time but yet only an occasional weekend tripper at best - said all we needed to know about them
@@liferedesigned Yes! I also find them to post a lot of “controversy” or negativity. Everything is over sensationalized for clickbait.
I don't think I've ever watched a video, let alone heard of the RV-related channels you mentioned here. I've watched a decent amount of RV-related videos, but not more than 1 or 2 from any specific channel; the only channels that I've subscribed to are yours and cheapRVliving. It appears that the topic of this video has been nipping at your heels for a while now, judging by the occasional comments about said topic over the past couple of months in the videos you have uploaded. I hope making this video has 'put to rest' this topic and that you get back to what caught my attention and made me subscribe: daily RV life and the things you put up with on a daily (or every other day) basis and showing the places you travel to/stay.
I understand Bob has a demanding job that takes up most of his time; perhaps let Karri make content of what she does while Bob is slaving away working. I dunno, it just seems from my point of view that the focus has recently shifted from making videos about what RV life is really like (most likely similar to life in general...uneventful 90% of the time) to pointing out the 'fake' channels. I made a comment in a previous video about this; you do you and let them be them...people will decide in due time who they want/don't want to watch.
I am not trying to ruffle feathers or tell you how you should run your channel...ok, maybe I am a little bit. I really do enjoy your content and watch each new video soon after you upload one. The past few have just not been like it was when I first discovered and subscribed to your channel several months ago, in my opinion. Take care and be safe...
