Since 1000-Lb. Best Friends premiered, Tina Arnold and Meghan Crumpler have been on a quest to get in shape. But when they’re not filming or working toward their goals, the women have plenty of fun together.

Based on recent social media posts, fans have reason to believe that Meghan and Tina are about to embark on a brand-new adventure.

Redditors cringe at Tina Arnold’s latest fundraising campaign

This wouldn’t be the first time that Tina Arnold asked fans for money online. The TLC star has also used GoFundMe in the past to raise money for various projects.

This time, the fundraiser seems to be more about fun and adventure rather than necessity.

Recently, Tina shared a fun idea that she and Meghan hatched.

Redditors discovered that Tina had posted about wanting to buy an RV for an upcoming project. Based on the post, it seemed like she might be joking a little.

But a new discovery shows that she might have been totally serious about the idea after all.

Redditors later discovered a Kickstarter page dedicated to raising money for the RV. Tina hasn’t spoken up about the fundraiser on her public Instagram page, so it’s possible that a fan made the fundraiser.

However, the post is incredibly detailed, leading others to believe that it’s legitimate.

If Tina Arnold really is behind this fundraiser, how much money is she hoping to receive?

As of May 1, 2023 the women have earned $346 out of their $70K goal. They have until June 27 to raise the money, according to the Kickstarter page.

“On The Road with Meghan and Tina is a passion project that is near and dear to our hearts,” Tina wrote on the website. “It is our dream to take an RV, just the two of us, around the Country to take photographs of the scenery that makes our country so great, while also doing photo shoots for our viewers and going thrifting with Meg.”

Tina went on to say that the pair planned to videotape their travels around the clock through the power of go pro cameras, phones, and security cameras to capture every second of the adventure.

Screenshots of the page made their way over to Reddit. Online users were not at all thrilled to see this campaign actually come to life.

“Do they think this is how other people afford to travel? No most people WORK for it,” one Redditor angrily wrote. “Vacations are very rewarding when you’ve earned them, not just been given them.”

“Wow. $70k vacation on the backs of folks during the highest inflation, and lots of jobs are being lost. I see a scam coming near you,” another user chimed in.
