  1. Girl your heart is so beautiful! I’m so glad you met such a kind and helpful person to check out your van!!!
    I’d love to read some writing by you! You have an amazing way with words!!!
    I think I missed when Chris got the little bus.
    Love to all of you 💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻🌹

  2. Did I hear once that you used to be a fitness trainer/teacher? If so, would you ever consider sharing your vanlife fitness routine? Moving into our van soon and already missing heavy squats!

  3. Yeaaah… this has been a crap couple of months for my semi. Port of Oakland tomorrow morning. Then straight back to Guymon, OK then Tulsa to grab my car and then to Austin to help my daughter move to Tulsa…. By Friday/Saturday. Ugh. Bye. 🚛

  4. I truly believe things always happen for a reason and you were supposed to get the check engine light so you could meet someone nice and have an adventure! You will always be right where you need to be <3

  5. 80 percent of check engine codes are emissions related. Those codes are usually spark plugs are bad. Or maybe a bad injector. Usually not an injector. You need a simple tune up. I'm a mechanic that is called drivability and emissions mechanic. I know my stuff

  6. I'm a 68 yr. Old guy and your description of the kind mechanic made me😢. So many cool people out there.😊 Totally living the dream.

  7. There's still a few nice Ppl out here! I know we are a dying breed, but just be nice & treat others how you want to be treated & life will be much better!

  8. The west (especially where I live in Colorado) has had SO much rain, I'm not surprised that you're experiencing such bad mosquito problems.

  9. Happy that the garage took you to fix Togo as well as give you a tip on where you should check out , kind of him to give you the extra thing.s as well he is a kind genurouse person. Beautiful scenery down on the trail such lovley mountains a waterways reminds me of places here in Canada I love them and never want to leave there so peaceful.

  10. You know 😢 really come to my eyes it have really good people out there God bless them you guys stay safe out there very beautiful view nice vlog ❤

  11. Great place. You need Skin So Soft for your insect/ mosquito situation! I spray my screens on the van with it all the time.
    Trust me, it works!

  12. SO so happy the check engine light was no biggie!! Now that I'm full-time in my 2019 Ram, it is my only real worry…I was paying close attention to poor cylinder #2….glad it was just a bit of indigestion!! Thanks for another great vid!!

  13. Good people make the biggest difference in the world with this lifestyle – I make Youtube videos in a similar spirit as yours (have been living on the road with my two cats for about 10 months now) and recently myself in a similar situation of being out in the middle of nowhere with a nail in my tire wall of one of my tires (which essentially meant that I had to buy 4 new tires). It just happened that one of the very few places in the area happened to be literal angels and, very similar to your experience, went above and beyond and were so kind and caring. It was also amazing because what initially seemed like a really unfortunate delay turned out be a huge blessing in disguise because if I would have left when I thought I would have been stuck in an area that flooded – beautiful how this life can be! Sending love from my little stretch of road to yours! 💛💛💛

  14. Well, I'm broke down in Montana too, air compressor died, brakes seized. Yesterday I had a nail in one of my duals lol. I found someone willing to work on the bus but HE broke down on his way here 🤦. So I get to sit in a sweet little mountain town and he'll be here in the morning. I'm just grateful it happened in a town vs the backcountry. Montanans really are awesome!

  15. Hello love your videos thank you so much. You can make a bug spray from essential oils they are safe and work great. Just check out what oils to use on line. Put those in a spray bottle and Bobs your uncle

  16. Everytime a fuel injector starts showing up on the code reader or starts to stumble, I go to Walmart or a parts house and get some techron or techrolene and put a bottle in the gas tank. Clears up the problem in about 5 miles 😉
    Techron is a patented product sold by Chevron.
    It is patented by Chevron and its the only chemical that works.
    Chevron also puts it in their gas.

  17. I had the same check engine but for cylinder 4, I ran bad and could only get up to 40mph….. later that day I started it up and everything was fine….

  18. With in 20 seconds I can hear your real problem you have…when you sed United States of America…that's your problem…and it's very clear us Australian people live much better life's then you Americans…

  19. Regarding flies bothering your dogs and yourself. Clip a dollar tree dragonfly on you all. Flies will stay away as I understand they eat the flies. Love watching you and Chris. Safe travels.

  20. You never know what 1 thing will lead you to! Check engine light lead you to a beautiful place and a great hike. Enjoy your life with your awesome dog. Love you ❤
