Day 2 of my landscape photography road trip in the diy converted 4x4 camper van. Things don't get off to a great start, in fact the day was pretty much a write off from a photography point of view. Things just didn't go to plan, but the thing with landscape photography is that every day brings new opportunities and challenges, which is why I love it so much. Enjoy.

You need to tighten the belt to the alternator or replace the belt :) THat'll fix your issue

@bradyspage 3 года назад

Mechanic here. Also, if the vehicle have an automatic belt tensioner, it's worth looking at replacing. If it's worn and old it may not be putting enough tension on the belt, so when the power steering fluid is thick when it's cold the belt will slip a bit causing the squeal.

@andyblessett1282 3 года назад

Squirt some WD40 on the belt on the pulley side, when you get the next opportunity get the belt tensioned correctly.

@denisgeorge9287 3 года назад

I was a shop owner for 40 years and was always fighting that horrendous morning belt squeal. Usually the alternator belt. As the belt warms up the squeal goes away. Gates is the manufacturer of the belts that causes this and they seem to have a monopoly on the belt market. You can try just tightening the belts and that will fix it for awhile, but long term I would switch the belts out with Continental or Bando brand. Then you will be done with that horrendous racket.

Worth watching just for the food. Looks delicious. Two import points you raise however are that tiredness blocks the impetus and sometimes the stress of searching for something makes you overlook compositions that otherwise stare you in the face. We've all done that and stressed about it too particularly when time is short at a location. Rushing around a location trying to photograph everything is my nemesis. Battery flat yep been there too. Watching this video is significant for me as it reminds me to slow down, not beat myself up and enjoy the location and if there is something then it will hit you. Thank you👍

Hey Thomas, the squeal will be the fan/alternator belt is slightly loose when its cold and when it warms up and expands it stops squeaking. Sounds like spare batteries on your next order for the camera.

@nrice3623 3 года назад

Happened on my car a while back too, you can adjust the tension on the belt slightly too if needed

@brucehumphrey7446 3 года назад

Hi Thomas. I had a similar squeal with my Suzuki SJ10 (way back in the early 1980's). It was oil not getting pumped up to the camshafts quickly enough. Suzuki said they had a fix, but it would involve modifying the cylinder head and would be expensive. I had recently done an in depth article on oils for the agricultural magazines I wrote a lot for and had been really impressed, when interviewing the oil engineers at Castrol and Mobil with the then new 100% synthetic oils. So I decided to change the oil in my Suzuki to the Mobil 1 synthetic oil. The second time of starting with the new oil and the screech/squeal had disappeared and never came back for the next 10 years I owned the vehicle (staying with Mobil 1) and that included taking a year off and travelling, also all by myself, all round southern, central and west Africa - taking thousands of photos and writing articles. Give it a try. Cheers, Bruce

Thomas - for my alcohol stove I use 90 percent alcohol and it burns so clean and clean that you can’t see the flame so I put a bit of coloring in it just to see the flame. I also use a syringe to take the alcohol out of the bottle and put in the stove. Doesn’t spill a drop and after a while you get to the point of knowing exactly how much alcohol to put into the stove without wasting any. Keep up the good work...

@DubYahJohn 3 года назад

Hey Tom, the squealing will be the alternator belt; a quick and cheap fix but if not done a major problem. Your battery will not charge properly but more Importantly the alternator supplies all the power needed to run the engine, so your engine will just stop.

Probably a lot of people already told you, but the squeal is the sign of the worn alternator belt, change it when you can, it means it's slipping and it can cause problems with the alternator later on. The belt is cheap, the alternator isn't. ;)

@jonjanson8021 3 года назад

After you've replaced the alternator belt get some new gas struts. Cold day causes the gas strut pressure to drop. Thermal contraction. Like If it's low anyway, the gas strut won't work when it's cold.

On the stove issue, I always have at least two options available in case of a failure, lack of fuel, forgotten to pack my favourite stove, etc. I have a Coleman duel fuel (my fave), a camping gas pocket rocket, and a spirit stove backup. You probably need a small camping stove with a gas ring as main one. I will be interested to know what you go for.

@an1_uk 3 года назад

Replacing the gas struts with new ones will likely fix holding the boot up in the cold. There's usually a clip at each end and replacing them is relatively easy. Do be warned that without the help of the gas struts the lid will be 10 times heavier than you imagine it will be.

@rpelishphotography985 3 года назад

@cwetfeet 3 года назад

Tom- Coleman makes a one burner propane stove, I don't know if you have the propane bottles in the UK. Having done car/van camping for awhile I suggest you get something low and stable. Cooking in a van creates a lot of moisture which may lead to condensation and mold in the van. If at all possible I like to cook outside.
