Van be Causing me Stress
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed měsícem
Hi all, I'm Lori. Out here on Vancouver Island.... with a broken van. Geez, I could use a break when it comes to the van. I've been out camping that one time, it was cold. Now it's nice and warm out... but the van is not going anywhere until this gets solved. Anyway, having a van is tough, when you have no dough. I hope to not talk about any issues with the van, ever again. But in the meantime,...

I now carry a book and oracle cards in my bag too. My social media phone really had an affect on my eyes with the blue light 😢. My eyes were constantly watering 😞.

    I had an odd issue with my car cutting off also. Sometimes it would happen going uphill and even downhill. Then it started doing it when I would come to a stop at a light or even a sharp turn. Very strange. Found out it was just a fuel filter that had trash caught up in it. Changed that and the issue went away. Some vehicles have two filters on them. One is on the fuel line at the motor and the other was right before the fuel tank. I can only hope that could be part of your issue. However, if your vehicle is getting hot you need to take it to a shop right away. Could be something as simple as a thermostat stuck or needing replaced. Most decent shops can put your van on a diagnostic machine and determine the issue right away. It could also be a sensor for the fuel mix, They do also make diagnostic tools that anyone can use from home. Amazon sells these. There is a plug in port under your dash that they hook to. These things usually give you a code number and points out the issue right away. Just be sure you order the correct one for your vehicle. I pray you get this figured out cheaply. Best wishes going forward and so sorry to hear of your loss. My wife and I adopt many needy pets and give them and good forever home. We have lost so many over the years and it never gets any easier. Blessings to you!

    Possible blown head gasket,( white smoke out exhaust) possible stuck thermostat hopefully that's it, if your engine temp gauge is running hot, its not fuel related, you should leave the fuel system alone, if it was fuel would be hard start but your car turns right over, so its not your fuel pump, you would rough idle if it was fuel you don't seem to have that either,

    I agree with you. Many years of working in an office and dressing “ professionally” has completely changed the shape of my feet and created a very touchy sciatic nerve in my lower back. Now that I’m retired, I wear house shoes at home and sneakers when I’m not at home. Feet are taking on a more normal shape and spreading out as per how feet are supposed to be. And my back is much less painful. So, I agree, shoes aren’t made for feet and feet don’t need shoes as required by society standards.

    • @awesomesocks444
      @awesomesocks444 Před 4 měsíci

      HI, so if coolant level is NOT dropping in the reservoir & they did a pressure test, you're probably good as far as leaking. You might change your cabin air filter behind the glove box, especially if the former owner had a coolant problem. One last thing, being a pre owned vehicle pull the passenger side front floormat up and make sure the carpet is not wet with coolant. Good Luck!

    • @iReturnToFreedom

    Wow. Good job. Why don’t you purchase a rear view mirror camera? If you plan to live inside the van you don’t want everyone looking inside your rig. You could purchase the wireless connections to your rig and they are not expensive. For example, if you go inside planet fitness to shower, if your windows are see through your rig will eventually be broken into and there will be nothing you can do about it. I don’t want that to happen to you. I want you to be safe, so I can enjoy your adventures on CZcams. I’m not trying to tell you what to do, but I know there are too many people waiting to commit a crime of opportunity. What I’m talking about is street smarts and an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.

      Thanks Ms Dee. I do have a backup camera. But the display sucks!!! It’s the factory one. I’ll consider that at some point. Always good to see where I’m going. Funny u should say that actually. A couple nights ago I had a dream I was backing up and I couldn’t see. So I just went for it and ended up hitting some things in the garage 😆. Also I have two doggies that will travel with me 💖💖

    I do appreciate these types of videos you're doing...I feel so similarly about things. When you speak of 'there is only love, no fear'...it reminds me of the Course in Miracles. Maybe we're not always supposed to just 'fit in'. Maybe life has us doing something else...for 'who knows what reason'? I'm willing to go forward and find out what that might be...even if it takes getting past some fears. When will you be heading out do you think??

      I’m reading my daily ACIM right now 😊. I feel this journey is a lot about cultivating trust. Moving ahead without having all the answers but trusting in the divine plan 💗. Takes a bit to reprogram the mind away from fear though 👍

    This was a great video. Love hearing your true thoughts. Isn't it wild how others will even think we're crazy for wanting to do life differently? I've wanted to do van living ever since I saw 'tiny' stuff happening...because I also love to travel (via car/van). This will give me a slower, more simple life...away from the crazy world we're living in now. Hope I can find your 'continued'!

    Suggestion: cut the 1 in half as u said and connect them with a cloth hinge. When folded put the inverted V on back of bed. It will be shorter and also take up some space to make the bed a sofa.

    Although when it came to being extremely different with my offerings it took me a while to feel comfortable putting it out in the world.. But now I do and I'm doing what I love and I couldn't be more thankful for rising above. Send encourage to you to fill your heart with all that you need to fully believe in yourself and your choices!

    What I did for covering the windows was I used that anti-reflective and I cut them in the shape of the window just a little bit bigger and would push them in the window. Is that makes any sense

    Wow. You have done an excellent job. I would recommend you don’t abandon the curtains just yet. Why don’t you go on more weekend trips for a few months before you do more work on your van. Attend some women’s vanlife events so you can get a feel for living in a van. You will probably be making adjustments for a while. Maybe you just need a seat adjustment where the seat can turn both ways instead of permanently be in reverse. What happens if you need to be stealth, your seat needs to be able to be forward. Also there are rubber squares you a put on the floor to cushion your knees. If you only camp for a while you won’t have to tell family about what you’re doing other than camping. Get adjusted first by trying vanlife on for a while. Who knows you might get a small scamp or trailer in the future. TTYL

      Yes, you just never know what I’ll end up with in the future. I love how easy this is to drive around tho! Yes I know everything I do could be a “waste of time” and I “should” just get out there. But also, it’s cold out there still,… and I’m working on honouring my process. For me there is so much opportunity in doing things consciously… so that’s my main goal 💗. Thank you Ms Dee. Always appreciate your messages. ✌️
