Car camping in Florida was probably my least favorite of the states that I’ve been to because of the heat and humidity! The bottom of your car shows how much work you put it through haha. Glad you got it fixed. I’ve been traveling with my pup out of my suv and exploring all over the U.S.. Car problems really stink when it’s also your home. Love how pumped Camper was to hop back in the car, you can tell he loves an adventure , so cute

AND I'm so glad you're back in your Prius. While the 2022 Sienna hybrid seems like serious luxury and roominess, new cars outgas an enormous amount of chemicals that are carcinogenic and bad for your health. It's one thing if you drive your vehicle only occasionally but quite another if you spend the amount of time in it that you do. I would wait several years before buying a used one because again the chemicals in these newer vehicles are really, really bad. Always wishing you good health and happiness!

It looks like one or more of your tire pressure monitor batteries have died. This is common with the mid 2000 priuii. New TPMS sensors are not expensive from Amazon and they can be replaced quite inexpensively by any tire shop. For as much traveling as you do, it would be worth it to make sure you know when one of your tires gets low pressure.

Nomads unite, lol! I like your style, I like to see various adoptions to this way of life and what works best for each individual. Personally started out in Tacoma with a converted bed to survive weekends in the mountains avoiding ski traffic. It worked out so well decided to go full time, eventually saved enough for a cargo trailer to accommodate my motorcycle and converted to toy hauler camper. Now I've upgraded to a slide in camper on 2500 Ram, I like having windows again, oh ya and an on board shower and toilet is nice to have again. I can drop the trailer and camper, have a base camp, and explore with the truck or bike. The trailer operates more as a shop now than a living space. For those whom prefer cars consider a Subaru, and then check out what "Ironman 4×4 America" can do to them. You'll get places just the same as trucks. They probably have the best 4×4 drive trains on any vehicle, it really is amazing what they are capable of. And Ironman can rig those things proper. Not sure about the fuel economy compared to a Prius but they may have some hybrid models and crossovers that are probably as roomy as the Toyota you just demoed. If it's a fuel issue, consider diesel my preferred fuel, still average 12 to 14 mpg fully loaded up on the highway . Pushing 15000 lbs with all propane, water, gas, and diesel filled, can be off grid for up to a month. Taking into account that lithium to make hybrid batteries is strip mined by massive equipment powered by diesel engines in the first place, I'm really not to convinced that they are all that eco friendly, really just marketing. Excuse for the novel, white out blizzard in Central OR, safe travels!

A good thing the gas tanks are designed to take shocks like that. I have a 2004 where the rear spring came dismounted from the rear end and then shot out the driver side of my vehicle as I was doing 45 miles an hour down the road I seen in my rearview mirror plume of rust and dust and in my side mirror I saw the spring doing 45 miles an hour alongside me and then it veered off the road and I tried to find it for 45 minutes unsuccessful. What scared me is I had my pitbull black lab puppy with me. And I was worried about getting the damn vehicle back to my house without toe. Older cars can be very scary. Especially ones close to the ocean in the Northeast with salty roads

I would much rather have an older car or truck than new. New ones are made cheaper, and too much technology to fix when they break. I've worked in the field for about 20 years, even though older cars and trucks can have issues than newer ones usually won't, you're better off with older. What state to do you live in? I'm in NH , near concord
@jeffreywolf5235
@jeffreywolf5235 2 года назад
@@richsweeney1115 I'm in Cape Cod Mass. And I agree with you the older cars are definitely far easier to work on and made it to run much longer than the newer ones. The technology is terrible. All the motors are basically made out of plastic today. And once that stuff gets heated up and cools down so many times it warps and breaks. It's so frail with to work on after say about 40,000 mi at most of plastic clips you touch are going to snap to get to another part that you have to remove half the engine for just to replace a 40 cent plastic cam or something. Even my 92 BMW had a whole bunch of plastic on it but it's still lasted almost 400,000 miles. And me for 20 years beating the snot out of it. I never had to do the engine but the guy that I bought it from had the heads done right before I got it with 130,000 miles on it. Outside of that I never had to place the clutch the transmission engine. I did have to do the brakes exhaust suspension and things like that. But it was still easy enough to work on. Not these newer ones though.
@jeffreywolf5235
@jeffreywolf5235 2 года назад
@@richsweeney1115 the crazy thing is about a month and a half prior to the shock breaking loose on my rear end I replaced the gas tank due to rusting out. And I'm damn glad I did because I know that spring would have shot right through one of those rust spots on the tank when it went bouncing off of it because it left many big dents in it on the side and back of it. And I could tell it was there because it was a brand new tank that I just put in weeks before. And that's on a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis which if you know anything about those gas tanks you know the studs can only be used one time and you have to replace them I bought the gas tank straps for about 75 bucks I spent $110 to get four sets of the studs because that's the only way they would sell me so I still have two of them and of course I never broke the studs off I left them long so if I need to do something with that gas tank again I can just pull it down and reuse the studs that are already there if they don't break off when I try to take them back down. But Ford makes the studs so that when you pull them up you're supposed to break them off so that the next guy can't do a repair on that without Jerry Reagan something up or replacing those bolts. That cost $102 for four which included the receiver the stud and the nut.. I sold my 2015 Nissan Altima piece of crap before it broke with 55,000 miles on it and picked up this other car for $1,000 from a customer of mine that I worked off. He was an older guy so I didn't think I would have to look underneath the car for any kind of restaurant until I got it and started going through it I was horrified he lives a block away from the ocean and that salt Air just destroyed the car plus the salt on the roads in the winter. The body and cosmetics on the car look all right until you go underneath and you see all the rod the bumpers are riding off the frame is rotten to shit. I'm afraid if I touch too much More of it it's just going to keep breaking. Right now the Cadillac converter one of them is shaking rattling like a madhouse where I have a high-powered stereo installed in that car as well that I have to turn very loud in order to drown that noise out. But it still goes like a champ despite all the rust. Of course the engine only has 125,000 miles on it and driven by an old man it's entire life. So it's broken in a little. But the body will never last as long as that engine. And also the transmission shimmies from second to third gear sometimes. I went to auto technician school way back in the late 80s. So I pretty much know how to repair everything on the car I just don't have all the equipment and tools to do such. I went on to be a contractor on houses and I have all the knowledge to completely rebuild a repair a house now except for the fact that I also had colitis rip out my large intestine in 20 years ago and now it's Crohn's colitis and a whole host of other issues and a bag of poo on my belly that prevents me from doing many things. I used to be able to work 12 13 hours a day everyday now I work through three four hours a day I'm exhausted for the next 2 days. That all started when I was 30 years old. I'm 50 now and these last 20 years have sucked ass. I went from never ever needing any help from anyone to needing more help than I care to ask for..

Camper is such a cool and chill dog!! Funny to see him jumping around like that. Jupiter is a great area. Great watching your videos and even cooler to see you are also from CT!

You've inspired me to do the minimalist car life. Im considering getting a doggy companion myself. What are things you recommend having a K9 friend with you?

This made me laugh, laugh, laugh...showing the logistics of car repair wait training & the chairs & one for Camper is priceless and the confinment of the Prius and everyday doings with your scrunchie on your wrist & hair in face, too much...keep up the good work! Your grandparents are blessed to have an "Out of the Box" granddaughter with a twist. I watch cuz there is NO WAY I'd live out of a Prius! You are a gem. I'm not sure how I feel about the van? Could be too cush and you'll have to get a little more twisted?

Get a RAV4 hybrid you need the ground clearance.
@EfficientRVer
@EfficientRVer 2 года назад
A case can be made for the RAV4 hybrid, Highlander hybrid, and Sienna (only available as a hybrid). The ground clearances are 8.4, 8.0, and 6.4-6.9 inches, respectively. Personally I'd go with the Sienna, lift it 1.5 inches via suspension, and another 0.5ish inches with tires. The RAV4 isn't big enough for her to stop using an external cargo carrier, so the mpg would suck compare to a Sienna without cargo carrier. No reason to go for the much smaller vehicle plus end up spending more on gas.

If she wanted everyone to know, she would have said. Do you think she wasn't aware that a bunch of people would ask? In fact, just the number of comments asking that, might give her enough "RU-vid algorithm" benefit to pay for the repairs.
