Vanlife sucks, Or does it, The truth!

I drove across the country and it kicked my ass

Something I just learned the hard way. Clean your radiator from time to time. Don't just let it clog up as time goes by. Do the regular maintenance you know you should do. It isn't always easy when you live in places where working on your own vehicle is highly discouraged. Sooner or later you will pay. Just lost my triple core, super flowing radiator. Couldn't be cleaned or rodded out.

[@nostringsprepper]

I have been on a five year time replacement and then I clean it out every year and replace the fluid I’ve had so much luck doing just that it saves on hoses and also water pumps The engine is very clean

[@raybrensike42]

Makes sense to get more than one estimate. When you ask for a price, many a shop will make it high so as to pad themselves, and it may end up costing you more because you asked for an estimate, and they knew you would pay it.

I’ve been very fortunate to my life because I’m a mechanic myself so I’m able to turn The wrinches when I need to save me a ton of money over the years looking and searching for parts on Amazon or rock auto has save me a ton of moneyfrom local auto parts

Proper HVAC is a must in my humble opinion. I’ve spent many, many nights sleeping in a tent on the ground in all kinds of weather. It’s a miserable feeling waking up sweaty, smelly, and sticky, and having to bathe with baby wipes. No way I’m living that way full time

[@frankjamesbonarrigo7162]

where is the ac? Did you cut a hole in the van for it?

[@nostringsprepper]

I remove the back window and build a plate out of aluminum and installed it into the aluminum there is a video about that

The Bible tells us not to fear and I'm not questioning the Truth..But fear actually warns us of danger.

[@nostringsprepper]

I believe discernment is what keeps us from danger , fear just cripples our mind of what if’s in the more often we let it beat us up the more up then it shows up then we find her self shaking under the bed afraid to even come out

I'm sorry to hear about your Vans or down

So I am going to put for sale signs on my RV and cargo van. The first one with an offer I will sell. Put that mo ey towards a school bus. Question James. What do you think of school buses as a home? Off road? Gas or diesel? Older vs newer? Economics ..fuel and repairs? My thoughts. older I don't want to be stuck with all the electrical nonsense. Gas only because diesel is pricey to repair. How do you a bus would be as a bug out vehicle?

[@nostringsprepper]

I love the bus idea if you find the right one with the right repair records I hear the V 10 gas motors a good motor you can stand up on them very strong well-built High clearance for off road there’s so much you can do with them and you can tow anything if you want

A Christian should never feel alone, because they are not alone. You always can talk to the Lord, and worship him by things you read from scripture or whatever else you see.
