Happy 4th of July Everyone! We originally were going to skip posting a video this week, but had so much fun with this video, that we decided to upload anyway! We hope you enjoy our sarcastic, snarky and well NOT SERIOUS responses to most of these 🤪 Hey - if you enjoy this video as much as we did - hit that THUMBS UP BUTTON! That makes Karri smile - shopping on amazon? use our link first - they send us a few pennies that we put back into the channel www.amazon.com/shop/liferedesigned Be well, Bob & Karri life redesigned

I am opposite, I 99% boondock in Arizona for the winter. Im single retired male and love desert in the winter. I met a newly retired couple last winter in AZ that bought a new truck and trailer, after watching you tube videos for years on snowbirding and boondocking. Guess what, they did not enjoy it, they missed thier friends and family😢.

Thank you for this very informative video. My wife and I tried RV life last fall and we failed miserably because we bought the wrong RV. The WORST RV ever. Constant maintenance all the way from NC to TX, NM, and to TN where it eventually died on us. We drove it to a junk yard and rented a Uhaul trailer to attach to our SUV and hauled what we could salvage out of it. Great times and bad times at the same time. However it was the best eye opening experience we have had and my wife still wants to try it again. I am hesitant but I may give in........ after I do proper research and get the RIGHT set up that works best for us! I enjoy you guys channel and I hope to run into you on the road. KEEP THE SCRUBBIES inside too by the way!!!!

We weren't sure if you'd fallen back to one of those, "Top 5" types of content. What we just saw was entertaining and helpful. Really enjoyed the playfulness of this one. Say hi to Oliver.

You guys are such a breath of fresh air. Hope you have a fantastic 4th 🎉

I gotta say Bob, that color shirt looks great on you!! And Karri, I sooo appreciate you each & every video!! Love to see you contributing more!!!

Thank you 👋🙂. Hey guys I'm going in the same direction as you. Although I'm not quite out there yet. I'm still fixing up my sticks and bricks to sell. I love that you both are free from within & even how you allow others that same freedom. 🤯 Thank you I appreciate that Superhero powers of Love from you both. 💯. ✌️😁

Howdy Bob and Karri. Have a fun and safe fourth of July.

Enjoyed your video very much, also agree with all the lies , Hope to meet you guys out there somewhere .

I loved that you recorded at all the different play areas at your current campground. This was a great video. Thanks for keeping it real and honest.

We are running out of room from all your stuff! 😂 Great video guys!

Thanks for sharing. Loved the reaction from you, Karri, when Bob is playing around in the water or the slide.

Great video and so real 😊

Happy 4th of July guys... RV'n is hard.... Even harder when you're stupid... Goal is to not be stupid.... Don't always work, that's when it gets hard and expensive!! Love your hands on approach. Keep on truckin

Thanks again for a down to earth real discussion of how much BS others are spreading of the traveling life style. Some look for all the bad, and think it is bad for everyone, not true. Really enjoy your outlook on life.

I like you guys. I want to full-time RV for a few years and I have no intention of doing so "off grid." And I still have my first Beanie Baby! 😅

The mention of KZfaq becoming just another MySpace scares me 😂 😂.

Agree about your comment that there have been full timers since before KZfaq. Our family had a seasonal site at a local campground in the 70s and we met a couple based out of Colorado who traveled FT in a 26' Holiday Rambler travel trailer for the husband's job. (I still remember their names but don't ask me what is ate for supper last night). Rving is like a recipe for meatloaf. Same basic ingredients and cooking method but each person adds their own preferred ingredients to make it their own. Not right or wrong, just unique.

Totally agree, is it a need or want? People don't need alot of the things that they are told about, the fact is they want that stuff to find out most of it is not going to be used.

Thanks for the refreshing Video!

Thank you for your kind words to veterans. USN-Retired.

Happy 4th of July Redesigners!!!!

Thanks for the video.

I listen to your channel for the difference in perspective you present. Your humorous style is also appealing. I appreciate your message of nuance - RVing is not as extreme as many may have us believe. That said, speciffically on your final "huge" lie, the relative paucity of regulations and standardized data collection in the RV industry permits perception to appear as reality. The "amazin'" stories - are they false? I think not. Personal responsibility is a valid point if someone didn't secure an independent pre-purchase inspection; however, it is not valid when the inspection would not have caught early construction flaws that manifest only after purchase and use.

Thank you for the awesome words for the military and veterans. Botg of my jids are serving and i retired after 20 yrs in the Marines and Army. Hope you two had a great 4th of July.

I love you guys no BS and straight up content. Keep it up. 🎉

Another great video! You answered a few questions I didn't even think about in this one. One thing I'm struggling with is getting a pre-inspection; I mean, I understand that they are important, but in my case I just don't see the benefit of spending $500 (or more) getting an inspection on a camper trailer that's less than $10k (my budget). Also, do you guys think it's feasible to do RVing full-time on a budget of $1500/mo? How are you guys dealing with the heat? It's been in the mid and upper 90s in my neck of the woods quite a bit over the past couple weeks, so I know you're probably seeing 95-100 down there. Stay cool!

Happy Independence Day, everyone...

I dunno mate. In the video you have campers within feet on all sides. Different strokes for different folks, but we have literally heard folks stroking in the camper next to us, and that is just too many rats in the cage for relaxation. Then when they’re done, they light a fire in their fire pit, which because it is so close to us, smokes us out of our camper. If the nearest camper is within 50 or 60 feet, I’m not a happy camper. State/Dec parks give us that. Even better if a line of trees separate us. A 25 gallon fresh tank in the truck, solar, lithium make it all easier. You do you, but I think calling folks who do it differently a “lie” might be a stretch.

Enjoy!

I say do whatever you like and what you can afford. There are many ways to live this lifestyle, and everyone does it differently on whatever budget they have. We're one of those couples who boondock a lot. We do so because that's how we can afford to live this lifestyle. 5 1/2 yrs. ago we retired, sold everything and hit the road like you guys did, but we had to be creative, as all we had was our social security and a small pension. We didn't have a house to sell as we lost that when the government raised our property taxes 1,000% shortly after Hurricane Katrina hit - a double whammy as they say. Yep, we now have a $12k solar system, but we had to put it on a motorhome that's a quarter century old - as that's all we could afford. BTW, we agree, if RVs are made so badly why how are we able to live FT in a 25yr old RV? Some rigs do seem to have their share of warranty issues, but most do not. Remember the rule of journalism - "If it bleeds it leads." We quickly learned the advantages of solar, how much money it could save us and freedom it could give us. So, shortly after our FT adventure started, we designed and built a solar array on the side of our MH while camping in the forest near Flagstaff. We had to make do with a couple old golf cart batteries for a couple years till we could do better. When we had saved enough to get some lithiums, we built them ourselves, learning how and saving money in the process. Necessity is the mother of invention. We're 68 yrs. old now and just finished the rest of our big system. Climbing on the roof to build the rack, clean and coat the roof, and lift our giant 550-watt panels up there without getting blown off ourselves was the most challenging part. But where there's a will there's a way. Now that were done, we can live much cheaper, even when we're not boondocking. For instance, we're staying in an RV park in NC now for only $100/month. Why is it so cheap? Because we're in a non-hook-up site. Sure, it's more work having to dump every couple of weeks, and taking Navy showers to conserve water is more hassle, but we're used to it now. By stretching our limited retirement funds, we don't have to skimp on food. We'll even go out and eat a steak every now and then, when the mood strikes us, so we never feel deprived. And having saved thousands on RV parks we can afford to travel the country, wintering over out west - like we did last year. Life is good. But if we had to pay $1,500 a month for a campsite, we could hardly afford anything else. That's $18k in a single year - way more than you can build a nice solar system for. If we had to pay that, we would be living our senior years in one spot, sitting in front of the boob tube all day, eating beans and spaghetti, and talking about the good ole days. Of course, most don't pay that every month, but some do. Good video. It puts things in balance. BTW, thanks for the props for us vets. Without the sacrifices of better men than I, we would not be enjoying the freedom we have now.

Happy 4th of July 🎉

You guys are definitely old school New England Yankees... and that's not a bad thing!!

I was shopping at the Tampa show and saw a lot poorly made RVs. 🤥

Everybody experiance with rv life is different. You make the life the way you want it thats what is all about

Just two words GreatJob!!!!!!

Your down to earth.. I fell into the switch crew thing even donated monthly.. I woke up .. stepped away .. it was actually entertaining how it happened.. that’s a rockstar rigg. I thought it was a compliment! Lol. That went side ways….

Sadly, many of these clips are romantised as living this lifestyle is exceedingly difficult. I guess if the next step down is living on the streets then I guess you have no alternative but to exist in a vehicle. This lifestyle is very difficult and lonely and one is always in survival mode Looking for safe parking Looking for fresh water Looking for ablutions to keep your body clean. Looking to dump sewage Etc etc etc. folk should simply not have to live this way.

I don't like the clickbait titles you see a lot of, I won't even watch those channel's. Happy 4th of July!

I think you’re wrong about your last huge lie. RV quality is substandard (of course there are no standards) and the RV manufacturers and dealers are taking advantage of poorly informed buyers. The RV’s produced in Indiana are basically all the same. They are all produced by the same work force, use the same cheap suppliers (primarily LCI) for all of the major components, and are managed by the same pool of managers, executives, and owners who move from company to company or start new companies as others fail. Why are there never ending slide issues when slides have been in production for like 20 years now? Why are there frame issues and why are junk suspension components like the standard equalizers still in use? Poke your finger against an interior partition wall and explain why can push the 1/8” thick paneling halfway through to the other side of the wall. I hope that someday there’s a quality reckoning that hits the RV manufacturers like the one that hit the US auto manufacturers in the 1970’s and they have to clean up their act or go out of business.

I think the covid years proved a lot of builds are crap. I wouldn't buy a 2020,21 or 22.

Live amazing. I see what you did there.

Still not sure how I feel about your videos. I like you guys, but you use click bait titles, no offense. You seem to want to get the 'rebel rv'er" vote, whatever that is. I get it, you are trying to get views. I think you are a little naive about your #10 'lie' though. There is a serious problem with quality of the RVs, and the service you get from dealers. That's why I bought my 2020 FR Microlite 25fks used when it was 6 months old from a couple who wanted something bigger. I am divorced and just retired. It works so far for me and my dog. I have had few issues. I consider myself lucky. There are real horror stories out there every day, and it seems to be worse post covid. I do like your videos.

Nice video but Bob, would you quit interrupting your wife. Its irritating. The segment in the pool area. She was talking and you flat out come up behind her and cut her off. At least let her finish her sentence.
