      Check their website, in high season they get fully booked pretty early. On the plus side, if they still have room, you could get a really good last minute deal.

    I have a beast mode w/Volta and it has been problematic from the start(for some reason the Volta system shuts off and then restarts). I auto-start charge for 1 hr and it gives me a 30% charge which is terrible. On two separate occasions I have called Volta and no one has ever returned my calls. Additionally, they said I would need to change out the digital screen and then update the system which they have failed to do on two teleconference calls. No we have no answer to the problem and I have a bad Volta system in a vehicle I live in. I do not recommend them or Storyteller for putting in a faulty energy system in a $225,000 RV. It is pathetic and unacceptable! Wait till you see the pain in the ass way to update the Volta as well

    I have to clean my W461 300CDI (EOM 2010) once a year to clear P0404 and flashing EDC warning light . There has to be a design fault. I clamp off and detach the coolant hoses to clean the EGR valve away from the engine bay to avoid the carb-cleaner spattering everywhere in side the engine bay. I also remove the down pipe to clean too.

    If your trans temp went up that high, I would have the ATF fluid changed as soon as possible. Excessive heat, tends to deteriorate the ATF fluid quickly. I use Max Life Multi Vehicle, which is compatible with my 2018 NCV3.

    I will say that to unlock the door with the physical key does take quit a bit of effort. When we picked up our van, I was testing all the keys & thought the keys didn't work. But the guy showed us iit needed more force to turn it fully.

    Great video 👍 I didn’t know anything about EGR valve before I watched your video😮 it took me about an hour to take the EGR valve off…I don’t know previous owner ever cleaned the EGR valve…it was not easy to get it off😢I put 12,000 miles on to the van after I bought. I knew it loosing power when it goes up the hill at the time when I bought the van, but I thought because it was a big van…😮 It's amazing that now I feel the van has so much power... go faster too 😂 thank you for your kindness to make the video 👍

    • @IAmATravelAddict
      @IAmATravelAddict 2 місяці тому

      Are you at a cold place? I believe blinking blue light means the battery pack is too cold. If you turn the inverter on, the heating pads on the battery pack should start heating it, but if your battery pack is too cold, it might take a while. If possible, you should plug it into a power source.

    Wow, what a great video. I watched it before my trip last month (We went the first week of August 2024) and again today. Thank you for an excellent review of everything!!! You have gained another subscriber. Please let me support your recommendations as follows: 1. add time buffers-I should have planned at least 3 more days; 2. we did not have any flats or broken windows but partly from your excellent advice: slow down, lower tire pressure and good tires. 3. We took 4 jerry cans full of extra fuel and needed 2 each way-I drove a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (Yes you read that correctly) just to be the 1st to drive a NASCAR racecar on the Dempster, and it only has a 220 mile range. I found the numerous inclines killed mileage even worse than expected, and needed 5 extra gallons before and after Eagle Plains. 4. WIldlife-we also took a drone and recorded wild horses in the river about 150 miles north of Dempster entryway-take telephote lenses and a drone that weighs under 250 grams I think. 5. We did not duplicate your water issues, staying at Eagle Plains, but your backup plan for a "LifeStraw" or equivalent water cleansing system is spot on and we had that, plus 5 extra gallons. Nobody mentions bathroom needs if you don't have an RV. We found that in most cases outhouses were there (unpleasant but served purpose), but the road conditions required more stops for #1 than expected, for which roadsides seemed fine. I am 71 years old so my age might have been a factor too! Needs for #2 use, well let's just state that the bushed offer some cover and the fear of bears seemed to accelerate the process! Most importantly for us embrace the wilderness, solitude and unmatched beauty of the drive. Again, thank you for an incredible review, I highly recommend this as the single best guide for a traveler on the Dempster.

      Holy smokes! I would be so worried about scratching the paint. I applaud you sir, for actually enjoying your car instead of shrink wrapping it as investment. And thank you for the glowing review of my review. Very good point about restrooms, I totally forgot about it. I actually did #1 in the wild quite a bit on that road so I didn't have to dump the RV toilet as frequently. All I can say is, doing it in the wide open tundra and not having to worry about anyone around was when I felt true freedom! 😂
