[@bonaventure1587]

We're the Russos i do the laundry and my hubby remakes the bed since my sheet skills are lacking.

[@PlanetFrosty]

I’m recovering from shoulder replacement surgery so the aid does my laundry! I can’t drive for another couple of months!

[@PlanetFrosty]

Love following you guys!

[@l-bird]

I do it ALL... and I hate it, hahahaha! I also have to go to a laundromat, and that one looked really clean and in good condition. Oh, Kait I envy you for your enjoyment in organizing and folding laundry. Good job! This year has flown by, I pray you both have a truly amazing 2018! I'm looking forward to your Tucson trip :)

[@onionhead5780]

I have a magic laundry basket. I put my cloths in it and they get cleaned and put away in my closet. Every time I tell my friends about it my wife just smirks and shakes her head in disgust at me. 😂

[@TheSeira117]

Joe you are so lucky to have Kait as a traveling companion. She is so organized, and always takes on every task cheerfully. What a sweetheart! Happy to see Leo enjoying his food. It's a good sign.

[@shantolion1576]

I dont understand why i am enjoing watching ppl do laundry and daily tasks...i find it relaxing...i really enjoyed it!

[@LidaTL]

The way you guys treat each other is amazing! I like the way you talk to each other and work as a team and don't nitpick. Just respect and thank each other :)

[@WillyPark]

That was the coolest ‘doin the laundry’ jams I ever heard......

[@denisettm4958]

The jean folding demo was excellent! Thanks.

[@tandemfun4us728]

:) We, over time, have replaced our clothes to mostly be quick drying, anti wrinkle. This means that we wash out our clothes every day and use a salad spinner to get the water out. Hang up and it is dry by morning with a fan blowing on the clothes. That means that sheets and jeans and towels go to the laundromat. Got the idea of the salad spinner from the comments people made about the portable washers. Spinning out the water was the most important. Daily rinsing out our clothes is manageable. Love your videos and attitude.

[@mobiltec]

Only a full time RV dweller can turn laundry day into a family outing. And only a You Tuber can make a living from it. LOL Nice video.

[@lefturn99]

This is a great example of "Anti-Click Bait"

[@noreenn6976]

You two work well together!

[@herranton]

I don't have any clean clothes and need to do laundry. This video made me anxious... lol

[@roadrunner17lee66]

Leo is supervising. He deserves a raise. It works well when chores are done by both of you doing the ones you like the best. Kate can fold my laundry anytime she wants to. That’s the one thing I don’t care for very much. I’ll even take out the trash if someone else would do the laundry folding it and putting it away. I don’t mind washing it. But since it’s just me whether it’s sticks and bricks or Rv, I get to do it all. Still haven’t managed to get my cats to help other than hiding my socks and underwear when I’m not looking. The one thing I do like is that you can’t take your home with you. Thanks for sharing.

[@TXGranny2]

Kait - As a fellow Packers fan, I love the snuggie! I got a pair of Packers gloves for Christmas, good thing cause it's pretty cold in Illinois right now. Also, wanted to let you guys know that since I follow your videos I learned about the Berkey and went online to order our own travelsize Berkey today! Hoping to use it when we go camping in the spring too. Really enjoy following you both on your travels and can't wait for Joe's book #2, loved the first one!

[@next20yrs]

Thank you for that jeanious tip. I am packing up my Class B for my first time on the road and I love your tips for saving space and stacking functions. In my obsessive YT viewing of van living channels, I must say that you guys have one of the best!

[@OutdoorNomad]

I got an Instant Pot for Christmas. Need that cookbook. 🤠

[@kevingzhang]

I like how you roll your pants. brilliant idea!

[@ginNjus]

Never thought about rolling pants and making one of the legs as a pocket. Genius!! Omg...a cheesehead in the van :(........GO DOLPHINS!!

[@ka1133]

It's so nice to be able to hang out in a Class B while attending to chores. I get a yearly parking pass for the NPC (Niagara Parks Commission) in Niagara Falls which gives me access to most of the parking lots in and around the falls and the Niagara area. It's great just to setup for the day and wander around the parks and attractions and play tourist. Return to the RV anytime for nap time, lunch or washroom breaks. It's GREAT!!! As for the laundry ... it's a mystery to me what happened. I know that while I was married I'd place the dirty lauandry in this "magic basket" and within a day or so all my laundry just magically appear in the closet or in the draws all clean and nicely folded. My EX took the "magic basket" with her when she left and now ... nothing!!! I have to do it myself!!! I've looked everywhere for another "magic basket" ... but no luck so far. :)

[@HumbleRoad]

Jean-ious!

[@VanInhalin]

and no reaction

[@davidhinnant9345]

Yea, She's a real "Smartie Pants"

[@b3877896]

I just love y'alls "everyday life" VLOGS! Thanks, and Happy New Year! All the best, Lloyd C.

[@band79]

Really like your Channel. High quality, real life adventure videos! Keep on the good work! You deserve more followers, but i guess they keep coming as they discover your channel! Greetings from Norway 😊

[@andor8635]

Great video your selling me on living that life myself. Happy new year.

[@jrandyoutdoors]

Wonderful vid y'all. We enjoy watching your journey. Hope y'all had a great Christmas! Safe Travels.

[@angiedamiano5648]

I used to wash at this laundromat when my washer broke down. The owner Phil is a really nice guy.

[@lilysgma2852]

Love, love, love that you are a Packers fan. I've lived in Oregon my whole life but love the cheese heads!

[@davidhinnant9345]

Kait, Did you actually come up with that Jeans folding procedure? Smartie pants!...Literally. Joe, she's a keeper!! Lol.....Merry Christmas guys!

[@RobertKeenanComp-U-Right]

Great tip with Jeans, Thanks

[@bette2623]

I just found your site and I’m really enjoying it; your videos are so professional! We downsized from a large class A due to health reasons and traveled part-time for 4 years in a small truck camper. Last month we “upsized” to a 22’ Class C and hope to be back on the road soon. Meanwhile, I’m living vicariously through you two.....thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@RJCooper2]

Great folding tip

[@sharonmarks7192]

Loved the video, as always. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@soyvalekawaii4509]

Love you guys

[@Buck7567]

Just want to thank you guys for keeping the language clean on your channel. I'm sure more than a few of us appreciate it.

[@Berrypancakes229]

buck7567 I appreciate too.😊👍

[@thehomeplatespecial597]

buck7567 I appreciate it too!

[@JennDyer]

Since I work from home, I usually do the laundry during the day as I have time. My husband helps me fold and put away in the evenings sometimes. I also love clean laundry and enjoy folding everything but the bedsheets (we have two sets, one is on and one is in the laundry or stored at any one time). How was the Ethiopian? It was 0 degrees F today when I woke up in KC. Sure could use some of that Arizona weather right now. :)

[@patdavis8018]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

[@sandradepaul157]

Happy Holidays, that place you are staying looks very cool...I will need to research that. Safe Travels

[@nnan0001]

You two get along with each other way too well. No one ever gets cranky. This is a world that is unfamiliar to me.

[@trevorehinds6982]

Happy new year

[@mauriliozamora6627]

I wished that I could be in Arizona with you guys, it's so cold here in Wisconsin. This morning it was six below and the wind chill was thirty below zero. Love the way Kate folds the jeans, what a great trick ! Thanks for the video and Go Packers !

[@kevinburke4197]

HAPPY NEW YEAR and safe 2018 travel and adventures.

[@inkhole]

Thank you for the Denim storage trick. "where do people learn that stuff"?? Keep up the great and informative vids XX

[@Kergorn1]

That was Jeanius, thanks for posting, looks like fun at that rv resort lol

[@PDX53]

Kait loves to fold laundry? C'mon back up to McMinnville! Love the jeans folding idea - if I ever fold any I'll try it. I'm really jealous - of you guys. It's been in the 30's here for a few days & when I ask Siri for the temperature she says "Brrrr. It's 30-whatever" degrees outside.

[@calumphin8631]

Awesome video

[@reohtz4878]

I subscribed primarily because of Leo!

[@pooppoop5181]

Love you all

[@JohnnyC10071959]

Likes making the bed and folding laundry. Nice. What a catch.

[@christiru]

Happy New Year🎉

[@Tom.Gregory]

Great book...fun video...... more please...

[@cootie181]

Hey Kait and Joe... always look forward to each Wednesday for a new video... my girlfriend just got me your book for Christmas... can’t wait to devour the book,

[@robertomstead8984]

Great Viedo, Nice trick and tip on the Jean packing We will use that one once we get on the road. It's 35 degrees here in South East Alaska. but sunny today. Hoping to be in a warmer climate and on the road in the not so distant future. Thanks for sharing

[@PlanetFrosty]

Cool jeans trick!

[@theexPAWers]

Hey there! Great channel, Nice people and Gorgeous doggy🐕...... We just started our VanLife over in Europe, living full time with our 2 small dogs in our little Campervan! Loving the lifestyle! 🚐👫🐕🐕Happy travels🤗

[@guzzialfa]

I must admit I hadn't considered packing jeans that way. T-Shirts, sure, I've rolled them up and stuffed several into a duffel for a week long trip or so but jeans usually lay across the bottom with the 'T's' on top. I tend to put socks & the unmentionables in the zippered end pockets. BTW, I've been meaning to mention that for colder sleeping nights, I've had a 12v blanket and a 700w oil filled super thin heater. With your solar and battery capacity a 400w or 700w electric space heater does wonders for additional heat. While you say Leo likes the cold sleeping weather dollars to donuts say he'll sleep next to that heater too.

[@Jomievolution8]

Hi guys!!!!!’ I do the laundry and love it !!!!!

[@debslifesimplified6406]

Enjoyed your video.

[@wasp5997]

Nice tip thx :).

[@susanday4814]

(Instant Pot giveaway confirmation) Subscribed (under gmail account) recently, but have watched you all for ages. (This message reposted from Facebook entry so you can verify.) Favorite meals Kait made in the instant pot: tie between the sausage/veggie mix (longer ago) and the simple sweet potatoes (with tahini) from Hymer days. Thom Lyons -- this is the Instant Pot I was talking about.

[@richardquinones2959]

I do the laundry in my household but then again I live by myself LOL😂👍👍

[@MultiRabe]

This video kinda reeked of why you guys deserve that "raise" I mentioned on #Patreon

[@Weretherussos]

;) ...seems that more people are joining us over on Patreon these days. #WTRFamily

[@BBQRando]

🍾🍷🎉🍺 Happy New Year from BBQ Rando 🍹🎆🎇🚀 Enjoy the fireworks like i do!!!!!!!!

[@filipkodytek]

Laundromat...👍 😂...and how did you do if you aren't in the city???

[@kimbarajas9081]

Leo is supervisor!

[@mitchwinder1204]

As a Viking fan I have but one question: A Packer comforter? (shakes head) LOL

[@lindacrowley1405]

We're did you get that teapot....my little lizzy used to link the Bowles for ever...she kept everything tidy!lol

[@bearmerica6668]

Careful, heard there's a parvo outbreak in Arizona.

[@ldygzlle1291]

we have a travato (on the promoter chassis) and when my lab mix Karma rides in the passenger seat it sets off the seatbelt dinger. I figured Leo and Karma were about the same size/weight, or maybe the hymer's seat's sensors are different.

[@GJRoamingRolling]

Hey guys! We always watch you and love your videos! We're in Tucson right now... can we meet you? :))

[@kelleyfarm]

U guys are right down the street from me

[@arronvalleen6750]

[@RVAshsinApril]

[@onejourney]

★★★★★ Outstanding...Scrubba-Portable-Laundry-System-, Wear more Temperature Controlled Clothing and Silk long johns, Temperature controlled sheets, more outdoor element clothing. Excellent folding techniques just genius.

[@mrs.ladyjo3582]

you are so lucky to have her i think you are spoiled 😃lol

[@cathyjackson8337]

My sweet husband does his laundry and i do everything else. I also love to fold clothes. What insulated tea/coffee containers do you two use. I only drink tea

[@travelsfromdoodah949]

Was wondering how you do coffee in the morning, im planning on useing my camping coffee percolator

[@stephaniealex1852]

Dr bronners? How much per regular load, never tried that for laundry

[@robiny1823]

I had the same question!

[@downundasvideos6402]

Dr Bronners is a favourite with hikers, the small hiker sized bottles are so compact and yet does a fantastic job, even with hand washing.

[@arnoldandjosieespinoza4405]

Hey guys, great video. My loving wife does the same for me on my shirts as well as my pants, rotates them so I don’t start looking like a mirror cuz I tend to wear the same shirts I like over and over. Fireworks in Arizona, reminds of the movie Joe Dirt. Woman on golf cart with wine 🧐. It wine o’clock somewhere. Love it. Loved your video. Till next time guys, stay cool 😎.

[@MrB_and_me]

I suppose it is too late, since you post these videos after the fact. BUT.... Cartel coffee in Tucson is AMAZING!!!! You've got to try it!

[@kelleyfarm]

Susan agree amazing

[@michelle10261]

In australia its $3.00 to $8.00 a load .

[@thehomeplatespecial597]

is there a video showing how you vacuum, clean cabinets and shine up your windows? does it get lint from the clothes if you fold in there?

[@memeimhere]

I thought this would be a good time to ask this question... Has your laundry ever been taken from ANY laundromat?

[@nancynieves6651]

Are you guys look great I like you talk to beautiful I like the way you people are good and good sense of humor God bless don't trust anyone

[@edysinsimon8646]

Is the coffee filter/holder made of plastic or glass? I'd like to find a quality glass coffee maker like that!

[@mrs.ladyjo3582]

what kind of soap you used i never see that laundry soap and where i can buy

[@losustubbs1936]

Thought you were going to show us happy hour on the green...was it a clandestine meeting that prohibited you from videotaping a smidge for us? We wouldn't have told anybody. : (

[@Trutsetyoufree755]

Hubby looks tired. The weight loss probably was hard on his nutritional status. Needs vitamins? Or come off diet for a while? Or just stay put for a week to rest off?

[@rebeccajhoffman9206]

I haven't been to a laundromat for decades. How much did it cost to do all that laundry?

[@biker_dudefastlane9339]

I take my comforters because I don't want to damage my washer and dryer. I spend about $5 for 2 loads

[@katherinemaas6712]

Is that just castille soap you are using for your laundry?

[@XLC-zd8dn]

TTTTTTTTTTiiiiiiiiiigggggggggeeeeeeeerrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!! That's with a T and a GER... :)

[@user-kb1ir7dy8j]

How d u fund your life style ...

[@denisesanabia8422]

[@kimbarajas9081]

I do laundry. My sil's aid folds and puts her laundry away.

[@gougeonrichard]

How can I forward a bag of fine coffee beans to Joe? I'm one of your followers from Quebec.

[@Weretherussos]

Shoot us an email.... [e-mail]

[@paxwallacejazz]

Laundry is 10 times cheaper in the US as opposed to where I live.

[@bearmerica6668]

Where is that?

[@vikingbase]

Cali??

[@colliesworld6380]

You guys are way to geeky a whole video on doing laundry and y are just way to excited about it lol

[@Adrian-Insta]

Are you guys ever going to buy a big motorhome?

[@hrgrlmaryland7822]

ADRIAN GLOVER t

[@hrgrlmaryland7822]

They did have a big motorhome early on but went to the van, much easier to get around

[@bobbygordon5377]

There is a open invitation from millions of Americans for you to fold clothes have your way😇

[@candeffect]

How did you react when the Berkey was dented? I'm preparing myself for the inevitable.

[@robertingelhart7885]

Do you guys have an email address published somewhere?

[@scenicdriveways6708]

My wife and I have actually had our wet clothes stolen from the Laundry Mat , while we were inside . We had taken some sweatshirts out of the washer , folded them , put them on a table , went back to the washing machine to put our other clothes in the dryer , and when we turned back around our sweatshirts were gone . Someone stole them right off the table while our backs were turned .

[@thereseward7852]

Scenic Driveways That's sure a bummer especially being right there!

[@joethecomputerguy1]

Could not even imagine having to go to a laundromat to do laundry. LOVE my Splendide in the motorhome!!!! Sure hope you got a good deal with that van. I could not live in such a small space and I am just one person. It's sooooooooooo small. LOL, you want a golf cart? You can't even fit a bicycle never mind a golf cart. Curious if you've done (or will do) the downsides of "van life"?
