    Bend isn't a "little town" anymore, Slim! If you continue to have problems with your Jeep, maybe it's time to trade it in for a more rugged road vehicle. At least you broke down on a pleasant day. Time for a stroll in the woods.......uh-oh, here comes Yogi & Boo-Boo :)> Great video!

      With all the people hoarding rice, pasta and toilet paper, I guess there is one takeaway; with what I know about digestion, half of the hoarders still won't have enough, and the other half won't be taking a crap until long after the pandemic is over.

    Checking your water pump...Turn the engine off..If you can grab your fan with both hands move it forward & back and left to right ..if there is play in the shaft that usually means your water pump is going bad. That's how we did it years ago I think this still works today. I am 68 years old and changed four water pumps in my time it was no big deal as long as you have the right tools..New water pump you should also change your thermostat and check your belts/pulleys/hoses/coolant . Don't depend on your local mechanic to do the right thing for you. Thank you for the video.

    Hi Sllim. I really enjoy your videos. I have an Aliner camper, which I just purchased two months ago. Your tips on successful travel in an Aliner have be very helpful. The real reason I enjoy watching you is because you easily blend with your surroundings and have such a pure gentle relationship with nature. I'm an older camper just getting started on the trailer adventures. You've been an inspiration , thanks so much.

That “feeling” has saved me a few times. Oh my, a shoe tree...LOL. That tow truck driver was great to drop your camper at a Camp site - well, you did have insurance! Lovely interlude and music. I always learn something from every video you post. Thank you for this return trip video!

    Hello Slim, thanks for the wonderful video. Glad the jeep wasn't too bad. I was a mechanic throughout my years. I do know there are issues with different brands but like you I do not try to put blame for a breakdown on Brand. I tell others that 'if man built it, it is subject to failure without any given notice', it the human factor, lol. One thing I learned over the years is mechanical things can and will break.

    On the subject of people living in RVs. We have this in Europe as well of course and house dwellers are forever bitching about them, claiming they bring crime etc. However when I see a cluster of RVs with people obviously living in them I think to myself how much more damaging to the environment would be a small town housing those people. If people want to live in RVs then well and good. There will be good and bad people living in RVs just as there are good and bad people living in houses.

    A lot of times when you put new belts and tensioners on a system the weakest bearing will go next, P/S, Alt, or W/P. It may cost more but get the W/P and tensioners with pulleys done also so you have all under warranty. Great video and your a natural!

    Slim, I am constantly impressed by your cinematography. Have you done a video on what video equipment you use, or the editing software? Also, I would like to put a bug in your ear. Given your love for putting the beautiful places you visit on video, perhaps you should consider purchasing a small drone, like the DJI Mavic Mini. They;re tiny, quiet, don't need to be registered and, if you are more than 5 miles from an airport, you don'r need permission to fly from the tower. You could easily charge the thing from your solar, too.
