Often Neglected Van Maintenance. Promaster Cabin and Engine Filter Change.

[@toycarcollector]

Whenever we talk about quality van builds we think of yours first, then the Overlander, then custom vans built for the very wealthy, then pretty much nothing. We are happy with our 2019 Winnebago 59k because it has dark wood and most of the shoddy construction is not obvious. Yesterday I looked at a 2021 new version Winnebago 59G brand new and it was so poorly constructed and had list price over $130k. Absolutely insane. So we will keep dreaming of having a van as nice and perfectly laid out as your is.

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Thanks. It is crazy how expensive the commercial class B’s are getting!

[@alineradventureswithsimons79]

Awesome hair Irene! Dave's is nice too!

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Thanks😉😁

[@gjonesii]

You guys and Pistol, are my favorite vanlife couple. Always so positive and informative. Hope you have a great summer.

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Thank you🙏❤️☺️☺️

Great advice. Where in Oregon? Looks like the Willamette Valley by the back ground. I'm From Cottage Grove. I say from , we spend our winters in Indonesia and our summers in our Van roaming. We are staying put this summer because of traveling due to Covid over here in Asia. Love your adventures. Thanks for your channel. Cheers

[@CareyOnVagabond]

This was in Newport where we are from. We will be visiting Irenes Brother and sister in law outside of Forest Grove next month. Cheers!

[@janm8477]

Appreciate the tutorial - do more of that kind of thing, it's informative and interesting, and definitely part of van life!

[@vickiesweitzer8625]

That was great! Love the new hair style 😊 Fun frisbee play time too!

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Thank you❤️

[@justaroundthebend6679]

YEAH!! you got your hair cut... I love it like that.... it looks amazing on you..... and a new color.... Awesome! looking good girl!

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Thank you🙏❤️☺️

[@justhaulincars]

Just a little hack when you put on the hose back on, spray a little bit of soapy water on the inside surface of the hose where the hose connects to the air cleaner housing and the air intake. It helps a lot to put the hose back on especially on older vehicles where dirt and grime builds up.

[@CareyOnVagabond]

[@joditarnaski1692]

Hi guys!! Love your new haircut and color...super cute and very flattering on you Irene!! Sorry to leave you out Dave on the compliments. Lol 😆 Thanks for another great video. Give Pistal hugs from the Tarnaski clan.

Thanks!

[@chrisb.travelin544]

I finally got around to following your wonderful instructions for changing out both filters. I'd like to suggest one minor mod to the procedure: place a towel or rags down in the engine compartment near the engine filter canister to catch dropped tools. Don't ask me how I know to do this :-)

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Yea thanks great video. I have a ram promaster 3500 too, so I will look forward to the rest of these.

[@CareyOnVagabond]

👍🙌

[@NursingNean]

Thank you! judging by the micro dust all over the inside of Arvan, we should definitely change his filters - and that was so easy I'm sure I can do it myself!!

[@CareyOnVagabond]

You can do it!

[@sasquatch885]

I think you interrupted Pistol’s power nap.😎

[@CareyOnVagabond]

We did😂😂

[@johndoody1492]

Nice work. Check out the cabin air filter from Pureflowair next time. Has activated carbon layer and is in its own frame. Looks like a good filter. Looking forward to your upcoming reviews. Have a great summer! Go Pistol 🥏

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Will do;)

[@rogerbrekas8239]

My wife likes your cute short haircut. I'm getting hungry so I think I'll have some scones.

[@michaelbarrett276]

You guys are so awesome. Always excited for a new upload.

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Aww thanks☺️☺️❤️

[@beverlyhendricks9456]

Thank Dave I needed that information! So thoughtful of u. I am doing my first trip in my new to me Viva 24’ MH on a 3500 Promaster chassis. I’ve had it to three different shops for different things and asked each of them to double check that I don’t need hoses or filter etc. all of them said no. But I bet when I check I need both of these filters! And boy if I do I am so going to give them guff. Lol. Of course I’ll do it myself. Irene love your hair and as usual a great video. Thx.

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Thanks! Hope it helps!😉😁

[@taisau]

Welcome back to summer in Oregon! Q: What is the underhood-front-and-center electronic device with wires coming off? Relays for one of George's systems?

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Thanks! It’s the Balmar regulator.

[@TheTaxiturbo]

Hey thanks for sharing your project, you break it down so its not so scary a job to do. While I watched "Humble Road" build your rig he always kept in mind how the owners would access and repair or maintain all the systems. How did it all work?

[@CareyOnVagabond]

So far so good;)

[@BurtGearhart]

Great tutorial, Do you carry a spare tire? Thoughts on spare?

[@CareyOnVagabond]

We do carry a full size spare that is factory mounted under the van. Won’t leave without it. We find ourselves in some pretty rocky remote places sometimes with no cell service.

[@philiptarnaski1667]

Do you know if the 2500 van uses the same size filters as the 3500 Thanks for the how to info 👍

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Yes! We used the same amazon link for our 2500 and 3500😉👍

[@lizchilders4154]

Love your van and am excited to see it as Humble Road van builds look amazing. We have a Ford Transit passenger van and will look into the filter issue. On another note, We lost one of our Boston Terriers recently due to a sudden illness. She was 1 week short of 7 years young. We miss her so much. Loved seeing your girl go after that frisbee. Our male BT would enjoy a flexible frisbee like that. Can you tell me the brand?

[@CareyOnVagabond]

I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your Bostie. I know you must be absolutely devastated. Hugs to you all! 💔😢 The frisbee is a Kong and it’s the only one that Pistol can’t tear apart. Be sure to get the red one because there is a black version that is supposed to be tougher but it’s thinner and Miss P was able to rip in rather quickly. You know how destructive they are! Heres the link... amzn.to/3xeFWOw

[@lizchilders4154]

@@CareyOnVagabond Thank you for your kind words. I just ordered the Red Kong Frisbee. Small because he is 20-21 pounds.

[@CareyOnVagabond]

We used the big one for years and we recently got her the smaller one and she loves it. We’re trying to get Pistol back under 30 pounds🤣

[@set921]

Quick question. In your flat pack grill do you use charcoal briquettes and roughly how many?

[@CareyOnVagabond]

We do and I believe it takes half of the really small bags of briquettes to fill it up. This flat pack works well but doesn’t burn as hot sometimes because there’s not a lot of ventilation. So I fill it close to the grill. Putting some small twigs under the briquettes helps a bit with ventilation. We finally wore ours out and bought a different model that has some better features that I like so far. We’ll do a review video of it soon. 😉

[@rtoadontheroad]

Good video. How many are on your vamps now?

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Sorry, I don’t understand the question.

[@rtoadontheroad]

I was almost asleep sorry. I have been following your channel since Humble built your van. How many miles do you have on the van now?
