VAN LIFE NIGHTMARE? CAN WE START OUR OLD TRUCK CAMPER FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER 4 YEARS?

[@annemayhood2523]

I was just sitting here watching this amazing video and thinking, "My God! These people can do ANYTHING!" You are there in Buenos Aires taking on a difficult bureaucracy to do the right and legal thing for this camper God Bless Aldo❤. You buy a 1,000 yo home in Sicily and are fixing it top to bottom. You have two olive groves you are tending and learned how to make olive oil. You are raising Luce so beautifully. You are dealing with a CSF leak so gracefully. And beautiful Sara is carrying a new baby. I admire your positive outlook and that you FEARLESSLY face difficulties, having faith it will all turn out in time. I love your beautiful family, and im sending you the very best wishes. YOU ARE AMAZING🎉 and also, TAKE A NAP😊

[@philipodd3378]

yo folks ,you have 4 year old fuel in the tank, so not so good, I would also get a can of easy start to spray in the air intake to give it a chance ,also check for a spark at the plugs if it doesnt fire up ,also if it is not an automatic push the clutch pedal in when you enagage the starter it will help to spin the engine over faster

It’s said that scent memories produce the strongest response when we’re exposed to that smell again years later. When Luca opened the door to the truck the smell brought memories flooding back.

Huh? He said there were no odors. Hard to believe since mice chew plastics like carpeting, pillows and urinate to mark territory. Should wear masks and gloves and clothing protection or Hunta virus from mice.

[@princesspearlthumb]

Hello! In 1989-90, I was in a vaguely similar situation with a car in Europe, in which I had to surrender my license plates and paperwork. Since doing this meant that I could no longer drive the car legally, I didn’t know what to do. The person in the office advised me, secretly, when his coworker left the room, to burn my car. He said the government would be forced to claim the vehicle if it was burned. I was 20 years old, and had no clue how to go about this. I went as far as asking people how to burn a car. It seemed impossible and dangerous, and I decided it could be disastrous. I was in a large city and my car was parked in an area with a lot of people around. I thought, what if my car was stolen? I decided that they couldn’t hold me responsible for it if it was stolen. So, I left it open, and someone clearly went inside it and rummaged around. Then, I “accidentally” left the keys inside…and I never saw it again! No one was ever so happy to have their car stolen. Such a relief! I know this isn’t a possibility for you, but I truly hope you find someone in the government who is flexible and finds a solution that is reasonable and safe for everyone.

[@mychessvariants3481]

Imagine...✍️If the car stolen and later on found by Police but with another case... ..* the vehicle involve in drug illegal business*.. ✍️ . .. leaving the car not a good solution because it will create another problem in future....

I've been with you every Sunday since you left for your journey across America and everyday you were held in Argentina. I live in Mendocino, CA, USA. I can store it here for you. Maybe even buy it from you. My brother (he is 70) may even be able to drive it for you from point A to B (Wherever that may be). I hope there is something I can do to support you. I'm sure you have tried your consulate or maybe some adventure organizations that might creatively help you.

[@johnstelluto9101]

Sara, Luca, sorry to hear about your situation. You were in Buenos Aires, I understand there is an Italian Consulate there. There might be some help there. Also, how about going to the Media to stir up some sympathy and to get some help? After all bureaucrats are people and sometimes they need some outside pressure for them to take action. Laws are made to be broken. Rely on your KZbin fame. The truck, get some fresh gas. Check fuel filter. Make sure you're getting spark to the cylinders. Make sure all spark plug wires are sound and connected tightly. Finally, see that the coil wire is connected and that the coil puts out voltage. Buona fortuna and ciao amici!🙂

[@normamurray4450]

I'm so sorry this has turned into such a big deal. Praying you are able to solve this issue quickly. In the US we have junk yards that will come and take away our old cars so they can sell the parts. They provide a release so that we are no longer responsible for the car. Sometimes they even pay us some money for it, depending on how old the car/RV/van is. I wish they had a place like that in Buenos Aires.

Exactly!! Any junk yard should be willing to take it and sell the parts. It seems to be a harder situation than the reality.

[@fisch69]

You should try using Starter Fluid! It’s a spray for the Carburetor . Remove the air cleaner and spray directly into the Carb , but keep your face well away and back incase of backfiring! Also put water evaporater additive in the fuel tank, and some fresh high octane gasoline Into the tank.
