    Next time you park either Clementine or Ruby... you should put in there a tub of dessicant to absorb moisture to keep the interiors as dry as they can be.

    Using the Damp Rid now in the wet/snowy season is a great idea. When you get into the Midwest and it is frozen but dry, you can air Clementine out every day - the mold REALLY doesn't like those conditions! Love your optimism, keep on truckin', guys!

    • @delukxy
      @delukxy 8 місяців тому +2

      Mould likes food and sweat so when you eat in the car those tiny squirts and crumbs make good eating. That mould was pretty minor. The "strut" you showed was one of the new rear shocks. They should help make the ride a little better. The start problem might be the ignition switch. If it is the original best to replace it. Shouldn't be too expensive.

    Honestly, one of the reasons the price is so high is because you are in Seattle. It was almost 1500 for me to get my brakes replaced and my car maintenanced. Everything with cars costs tremendously here (as you saw with your Uber costs). Seattle's great, but man is it expensive. At least your mechanic sounds like he knows what he is doing. I wish you no more problems in your RV! It would certainly be nice if you got to explore the beautiful parts of Washington State and not just it's expensive bits. You should def. go to the Washington Coast if you haven't yet. It's amazing.

    So good to see Clementine fixed up and back on the road again. Hoping it would only cost hundreds was just a dream, since even basic maintenance on my car costs quite a bit, even when nothing is actually broken. Funny thing is, last time I took it into the dealer for an oil change, they wanted to buy it on the spot (and obviously sell me a new, much more expensive vehicle) I told them, no way, I very much like not having a car payment.

    I have an old truck I use for misc. tasks and have some of the same issues but if you spray everything down with that product or spray Lysol and then put some dehumidifier bags in there it should help a lot if not eliminate the problem. I also found a spot that needed a little silicone caulking and it stopped leaking. Old vehicles are always an adventure.

I love how you guys are authentic and show both the good and bad in life cause as everyone knows as much as we would love it to be all good all the time there are those rough times in life and it’s a matter of how you deal with those times on how your life will go but thank you for being you and showing both sides but never giving up on what you want to accomplish! You guys are awesome,funny,likeable and real!!! Oh btw put a couple drops of vegetable oil on that squeaky belt and it will go away after a little bit! 😁😁😁😁

    I was not expecting a video so soon but I'm glad it's here. I don't want to say Clementine is a money pit after all the hard work is put into it but maybe it's time to just cut your losses on something that old

    I am with you on 1883. It’s beautifully narrated and the pictures are a feast for the senses. Love how the pace of the show reflects the pace of life back then. Same with 1923 and of course Yellowstone.

    Great channel but you guys REALLY need a gimbal with image stabilization. I get dizzy from the camera movement and have to keep looking away. Please.

    I need help with my van. 2 years ago, we bought a 1985 dodge camper van that turned out to be in pretty bad shape. It was really difficult to find a garage that would work on it, and when we did, the guys assured us they could handle the repairs/engine rebuild. They were going along ok at first, but after a few months passed, for some reason the mechanics quit and the shop closed, leaving my van unfinished. I had to find another garage to try to fix the rest of what wasn't complete. They did bare minimum to get it running, but we are worried about the work that was done, being done correctly and there are still some other issues that need to be addressed. I can't call it reliable to go very far in yet. I am desperate to find a GOOD mechanic that can help us get the final work done. I put about 15k into this van so far, its sad that we live in a world where people will just take your money and leave you in the lurches. I am in North East Texas near Tyler, if anyone knows a REAL mechanic I could try I would love to know about it.

    The belt on the Suzuki sounds like the drive belt, it's cheap to change less than 50 usually, at least on mine. Most likely isn't the timing belt, especially since 4x4s usually have a timing chain, not a belt.
