The RV Odd Couple: RVing’s Most Controversial YouTubers

Meet John and Mercedes from The RV Odd Couple. They once had a beautiful home on the ocean in Florida with dolphins swimming in their backyard.

They looked like they had it all; a boat in the backyard and holiday decorations adorning the exterior. But inside, everything was falling apart.

According to the RV Odd Couple, Mercedes had filed for divorce, and they were living in separate areas of the house. To give their marriage a fighting chance, they knew they had to give up everything and start with a clean slate. 

After moving into an RV full-time, they now share the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of their lives on YouTube. They don’t shy away from expressing their opinions, and they don’t sugarcoat their life.

Love them or hate them, John and Mercedes keep it real because they know how exhausting it is to wear a facade. 

The Real RV Odd Couple, EXPOSED by Campground Visitors

In January of 2022, RV YouTubers ‘Our Not So Perfect Life’ decided to take a trip to the RV Odd Couple’s campground. Like their YouTube channel, things were less than perfect.

Construction vehicles were everywhere, and piles of gravel were ready for leveling. It was a clear work-in-progress with much potential.

With John’s seemingly hot head, what do you think happened when a massive dump truck became deeply stuck in the mud at their campground?

One viewer commented: “Kudos to you!

Are YouTubers Fake?

Does all this love for authenticity shine light on the gilded age of RVing? Is RV life glamorized too much on YouTube and social media? Some may wonder if other RV YouTubers are fake. 

The answer to these questions depends on who you ask. If you ask us, however, YouTubers pick and choose what parts of their lives they share for many legitimate reasons.

People can have privacy, and just because they aren’t sharing all their interpersonal conflicts, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re being “fake.” However, there is a real hunger for content that shows the reality of living in a home that moves, and we will always applaud those who dare to show up authentically.
