    I was rooting for you every step of the way as I watched this video! I can't imagine the stress you went through but I am so glad to hear your van is fixed! Woooo Hoooo... Arianne, here you come!

    Man, it was nerve wracking to watch all the work that had to be done. I loved switching back to other times when it was being built up and running. Great production -- telling the unfiltered truth! May you have many more happy miles on Bob-a-loo!

      Thank you 🙏 The Van has been everything we wanted it to be. Can’t believe the prices I’m seeing for used Trucks right now. Babaloo looks good compared to other trucks selling for 15,000 and up.

    Glad you have Bob-a-loo back, Scott. Tough ordeal. But, it is what it is....got to expect the unexpected and roll with the flow. Happy trails and be safe out there. Peace.

    Always a good idea to buy the best possible vehicle that you can afford right? Unless you are an expert mechanic or are wealthy. I purchased a 2017 GMC Savana cargo van with very low miles and had a 24" bubbletop hightop installed three years ago. So far so good but I don't drive it every day.

      Agree. If used trucks diesel vans weren’t in such high demand and have skyrocketed in price, we wouldn’t have fixed it.

    Glad you got it fixed, Scott. I know from experience the gasp when the bill comes, but your analysis is correct. You paid $3100 for fixing the major part that could go bad in your van. Unless the body and frame were falling apart as well, you have basically given the van a heart transplant. Keep tending to that heart and it will treat you well!
    Congrats on being able to get back on the road and ROAM again!

      Thank you so much! We are looking at a new TV but for now the Van is driving nicely.

    With all the newer vehicles have computer problems I would fix a older model.

    • @ThisNomadicIdea
      @ThisNomadicIdea  Před 2 lety

      Yep! Totally agree if it’s within a person’s budget and it builds equity.

      @@ThisNomadicIdea the way I see it is, you have as much to spend as to how much a new one will cost.
      You already have the van so if you are going to spend 10 grand on s different one why not stick it in the one you have.
