What a colossal pain in the backside! Glad you eventually got Big Red. Rest In Peace sweet Sherpa- watch over Jamie until you two are reunited at the Rainbow Bridge.🌈🌈🌈
Watching this May 15, 2024. Wow times have changed. From an old cigarette commercial " you've come a long way baby, to get where you got to today." Precious memories. Those close quarters made for a special bond. So sweet how you called him beautiful and you still are. ❤💙💙
I agree, I am sitting here watching thinking I would have probably gone off to pummel whoever sold me that van to death!!! Hahaha and you're just so positive. Good on you!
When Jaimie asks Sherpa, "Are you O.K.? Are you happy?" My interpretation of Sherpa's reply is, "As long as I'm with you Dad, I'm always good and I'm happy 🐺😊💕."
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Sherpa so subdued as in most of this video. It’s almost like as much as you mention that he liked the hire car (lots of space for him, he had a window of his own, etc.) he was still sad because he knew you were sad, not comfy and stressed. He’s a very good boy.
Sherpa is so smart that he knows not to make the same mistake of falling off twice! Way smarter than many humans who don't learn from them? You are AMAZING SHERPA! love you, God bless you both
Jamie it's a credit to you for being so positive and upbeat about the new van,I put it down to your character and that Sherps around because he'll always cheer you up,I hope the van is sorted now,good luck and cheers.😀
I really hope you get back on the road again with your van but the great thing about Sherpa is that he does n't care where he sleeps as longs as it's with his dad. 🐶💙👦
I am just re-watching some old Sherpa videos and got to this one, I can't believe how well you seem to be taking it. I would be way to upset and angry to video all these breakdowns. And you are doing while smiling and taking care of Lord Sherpa. Much respect Jamie!
Jamie you have got to be the most laid-back person i have ever seen If it was me I'd would be such a good sport about this van . Really do hope you get this van running right . Give Sherpa a hug and a pat for me .
@@SherpasDay Jamie good luck keep the videos coming it's one thing that puts a big smile on my face . Again thanks to you and Sherpa both for doing what you're doing .
@@SherpasDay i can't believe, i found this channel 👍😍😍 you are the best personality on UA-cam, not many nice personality youtuber/entertainer these days. we're so lucky to found this channel, sherpa and nanook (nanook is a very beautiful husky i've ever seen) and the way he standing at the door, so awesome
aw, Jamie, didn't realise you guys were actually sleeping in the hire car that time too🤔 We need set Batdog on the seller (what an absolute turd!) Sent a little to the repair fund, keeping everything crossed that it's fixed soon and you guys can get back to your bigger, comfier beds🤗
Sherpa is always happy and satisfied as long as he has you. Jamie you are an amazing young man, always so positive, even in adversity. Really hope for the best. 😊😁👍
When you find a good garage, who does good work and won't stitch you up, you give them gifts occasionally. Last Xmas I gave my garage guys a case 24 bottles of cider.
Man.. i felt so bad.. i am so sorry that this happened to you. I hope all good things happen to you and sherpa for your good heart and postive attitude.. i will pray for you tonight 😊😊
Aw! Jamie mate! "What the fluff !!" is going on with that van!? I feel your pain! So sorry that you have to go through this again! But i have faith that you will pull through! And with you're best buddy by your side i know you will! Hang in there buddy! You will get through this! Sending positive thoughts you're way! One day at a time is my motto! Stay safe the both of you! Best wishes Terry😀 ✌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I am so sorry you are having all these problems with your van/home. I really do understand what you are going through. As long as you and Sherpa have each other is all that really matters. Good luck.
I was going to say this must be so stressful and then you said it yourself at the end. I think you’ve done a great job handling it under the circumstances. I really hope this is the last repair. Good van vibes from here on out!
You're definitely a "my glass is always half full" kind of guy and, like you say, life can only be good when you're with Sherpa. Lots of love to you both and here's to an end of van problems. 😄😄💛💛
I feel just awful about all this craziness going on, Jamie. I'm glad Sherpa is there to help pull you through all this madness and keep a smile on your face. Please email me anytime to let me know how you two are getting on.☺
We dont know you, but your so calm no matter what. You Nd Sherpa. Sorry youve had so much trouble with your van. May God bless you and Sherpa. Amen. Love from Texas. USA Jane Roberts.
Made a little donation to help out. I know not everyone can afford to, but I hope enough of your followers who get to enjoy your videos of your adventures will be able to donate a little xx
@@Inge68 there's a gofundme link in the description. I've donated to Jamie's PayPal account before, but I don't have it at hand right now. I can find it though, if you want it.
I’m so sorry your van keeps giving you all this trouble. Wishing you well from Minnesota. It was a very lovely thought/gesture of you to give the workers at the garage a gift. I greatly admire how you are able to still laugh and look on the bright side. Way to keep the spirits up sweet Sherpa! We saw you dreaming of chasing down that dishonest van seller. “Name not Dog. Is Sherpa silly hooman”
Aww watching you and your boy is about the sweetest thing ever. I had my little buddy, a shihtzu, Sweetie who was literally the greatest and most profound relationship I have ever had in my life. She was with me her entire life, 17 short and brief years. Yeah I know people are saying that' is a very long life for a dog and that's correct. But it's never enough time when it's time with your greatest friend ever and she truly was one of the greatest relationships I ever had in my entire 52 years of life. Ive been married and I still think the 17 years with my dog were far better years than the good years with my now ex. That little dog and I went everywhere together. She was the greatest partner to ride in the car with, fly, trains and even boats. Hands down she was the very best traveling buddy anyone could hope for. Just like you 2 are great traveling buddies. I don't know about you but I would rather have jumped in the car for a month long trip than any human that I know. She was a LOT of fun to travel with. She was smart and damm she was a complete charmer. She could charm a snake charmer. We got her when I was married and within weeks we were on the road for her first road trip to San Antonio Texas. Sweets was very tiny then because she was only about 5 months old. My ex told me he wanted to carry her for awhile to see how much of a chick magnet she would be. Turns out that even then my little buddy had my back 100%. Not one female approached my now ex husband when he was holding her on the riverwalk. But when I was carrying her I had nothing but men coming up to me and wanting to pet my girl. Lol . I'm telling ya she had my back even then lol. The ex kept having to wait on us and whatever guy (they were all straight to lol) to visit with Sweetie. Finally my husband said. Damn let me carry her so we can get to the restaurant already lol Sweets passed away July 3, 2016 and I have been devastated since. That's a heartache that just won't heal. I miss my sidekick more than I can explain. Enjoy that boy of yours. It's so obvious that he really loves his Daddy. You guys complete each other and man that's a beautiful thing to have happen to you in a lifetime. Most people don't get the one dog that was absolutely meant to be their greatest friend ever. A friendship that just can't be explained. Roughly pat that boy on the head for me and tell him I said he is not just a good boy but he is a great dog. Happy travels boys!
Okay, so I know how much of an inconvenience it is when I have car issues, but I will NEVER complain about it again, after seeing what you have been through! God Bless y’all! I wish I could help! Cheers!!!
Our prayers are with you Jaime and Sherpa. We too have had Van problems, it's not fun! Keith too has retired in Apr of 2019. Keep your chin up! Joan Bates
I would sell that Merc for scrap and use that for down payment to get a new van. Possibly a Toyota or Nissan. They may not have the looks but they are indestructible. Sell the ford as used vehicle and use that for the remaining part payment. I have been through the same. Many of the used cars in our region are those that are refurbished from other countries and covers up internal defects. Everything costs a bomb even a certificate of inspection.
We had a Toyota Starlet once. Cost us a £100. It kept going and going and going and the only reason we sold it was because it had big rusty holes and we thought the police would stop us due to how it looked. It was so reliable though. Brilliant car.
I would think that a school for car mechanics would love to have the van(s) to teach its students. Also, unless you bought the van "as is," you should have some recourse with the outfit that sold you this van. If it wants to stay in business, it better make things right.
Well, Mercedes has lost a client in me. Was actually watching your videos partially because I am getting ready to sell my house and buy a van for full time living and travelling - for atleast a year. No point spending a load of money on a respected brand because you are trusting there to be quality maintanance / follow up service. Your perseverance while staying so upbeat and positive is an inspiration! Hugs and positive vibes to you and Sherpa. 💕🐾
You act like any car company can't have lemons especially if you buying vehicles from a private seller or some Joe blow off the street. You don't think people have been sold bad BMWs, bad Mercedes-Benz, bad Chevys, bad Fords, bad dodgers etc a lemon has no brand loyalty.
I am monitoring your progress with the van. I hope it turns out ok. Sherpa Budda will be happy with the world wherever you are. I like watching a YT channel called BusGreaseMonkey, which is about restoring old GM buses, and getting them back on the road as RV's. You see, my older Brother Dan worked as a diesel mechanic in Miami, FL (back in the 70's and 80's). He passed away 4 yrs ago. There is lots to learn on that channel about diesel engines, heating, and solar. You'd have to move to the states to take advantage of his services. What you are doing is a beautiful thing! Thanks. Tell the Sherpa dog I said Wah - woo - ooo!
Sherpa is willing to be the supportive road trip buddy by being calm through troubles. The line is drawn on calling him a cat though. Hope things clear up for you quickly.
I think what we all need to do is have positive thoughts so we can will the Jamie and Sherpa van to work again and have know more issues . Fingers crossed Jamie X
I have literally shed a few tears trying to diagnose a crankshaft sensor, I feel for you, its ridiculous how expensive it gets. The both of you are real troopers.
Absolutely HUGE respect and admiration for how you and Sherpa seem to just shrug off your misfortunes. I'd love to win big time on the Lottery so that I could give you sufficient to buy a decent vehicle for you both to continue your road trip in comfort. I only discovered you brilliant videos an hour back so I don't know your situation, but whatever it is I hope you achieve what you set out to achieve and that you only encounter kindness and goodwill. Stay safe.
I have been following you man a long time ago sorry about your van I really appreciate you calm you thought me something new today whatever happens tay clam and happy happiness is worth then anything else thanks I hope your UA-cam channel grew fast you deserve that man .from California .san Francisco .and Algeria
Haha, what a great, positive attitude you have!! I'd be cussing in 6 directions by that point! And I love how when you ask Sherpa if he's ready to hit the road again, he barks out twice, "Let's GO!" very clearly!!
When Sherpa looked up at Jamie after his front paws slipped off the bench it looked like it was almost as if he was saying to Jamie "well this is bloody embarrassing"
Hi sherpa's dad and sherpa, i wish yall the best in getting that van fixed, i know it has a lot more room for you guys, plus dad sherpa's not no cat . He's the best 🐶 ❤ love ever 💙💙
Watching again on September 22 2024, 11:19 pm, remembering Sherpa, and supporting Jamie. Sherpa was so cute, lying on his back. snoozing in the grass. I really came to dread that money-pit Mercedes van (not more than Jamie, I'm sure) Thankfully Jamie and Sherpa got Big Red six months after this video. Rest In Peace sweet Sherpa- watch over Jamie until you two are reunited at the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈🌈🌈
What a colossal pain in the backside! Glad you eventually got Big Red. Rest In Peace sweet Sherpa- watch over Jamie until you two are reunited at the Rainbow Bridge.🌈🌈🌈
Aww so lovely to watch this video now. In 2024 after the loss of Sherpa. gives such an insight into how things were then.
Watching this May 15, 2024. Wow times have changed. From an old cigarette commercial " you've come a long way baby, to get where you got to today." Precious memories. Those close quarters made for a special bond. So sweet how you called him beautiful and you still are. ❤💙💙
My grandfather always said "if you can laugh at your problems, you're halfway to beating them!" Aw, sherpa looks so cute all sprawled out like that!
Wise man 😊
My father say...there is always a oder day....
@@Inge68 oder?
Ohjhh Other day i mean...
@@Inge68 my brain just automatically corrected so I knew what you meant :)
I would be quite upset over this whole ordeal, you on the other hand just shake your fist and laugh. Your positive outlook on everything is inspiring.
Thankyou Dane 😊
I totally agree. Nothing seems to get you down.
I agree, I am sitting here watching thinking I would have probably gone off to pummel whoever sold me that van to death!!! Hahaha and you're just so positive. Good on you!
So inspiring!
slovakgal same as me! at this stage may be worth just burning it and claiming insurance. Seems to be just a bad build
1:05 lazy dog is absolutely adorable. He’s trying to be helpful and not be in the way.
Well, my dog is a walking wall. I go to the toilet, i open the door again, BONK. Dog in the way. I go upstair, come down again and again DOGGO.
I am so pissed that the seller purposely deceived you. I pray for abundant blessings to you.
When Jaimie asks Sherpa, "Are you O.K.? Are you happy?"
My interpretation of Sherpa's reply is, "As long as I'm with you Dad, I'm always good and I'm happy 🐺😊💕."
I know I think exactly the same!
@Randy Hilgeman 😉
@@legohuman0778 💓
Nancy AngelWolf you too!
Well said 👍
This is heartbreaking. Sherpa saying: Get a sled and i will haul you in it.
😂
M C
Or a small covered wagon🤔
We all know it would end up being the other way around. lol
Sherpa and a sled would be certainly more reliable
👍
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Sherpa so subdued as in most of this video. It’s almost like as much as you mention that he liked the hire car (lots of space for him, he had a window of his own, etc.) he was still sad because he knew you were sad, not comfy and stressed. He’s a very good boy.
It's amazing how sane our puppers keep us
Not having the best luck!
Haha it's all an adventure 😊
Jaimie asked Sherpa, " Do you not look like a 🐈 cat?"
@12:49 Sherpa *clearly said* "No!".
His English is improving.
I think I heard Sherpa mutter under his bark that if Dad calls him a meower again that he was going to leave a surprise in his shoes. 😁
I'm glad that you've kept your sense of humor despite the van breaking down again. It sure helps with an good boy like Sherpa around.
He alw makes me smile 🙂
Is it sense of humor ? It’s not possible to laugh 24/7 ...I’m sorry but sometimes it’s quite strange
@@GeorgiaMyname I dont laugh 24/7 😂 I am now tho 😂

Your positive attitude Jamie is why we keep watching, you truly are a special person, and that A D O R A B L E side kick , you truly are so lucky

Thankyou Andreas with a friend like Sherpa spirits always end up high again.. 😄
I really hope you get back on the road again with your van but the great thing about Sherpa is that he does n't care where he sleeps as longs as it's with his dad. 🐶💙👦

Our prayers are with you Jaime and Sherpa. We too have had Van problems, it's not fun! Keith too has retired in Apr of 2019. Keep your chin up! Joan Bates
Watching this for the first time. I can't believe all you went through. Too bad you don't have a lemon law there in the UK. How far you've come. 😮
Before buying always ask for a professional inspection. You'll avoid a lot problems.
I would sell that Merc for scrap and use that for down payment to get a new van. Possibly a Toyota or Nissan. They may not have the looks but they are indestructible. Sell the ford as used vehicle and use that for the remaining part payment. I have been through the same. Many of the used cars in our region are those that are refurbished from other countries and covers up internal defects. Everything costs a bomb even a certificate of inspection.
We had a Toyota Starlet once. Cost us a £100. It kept going and going and going and the only reason we sold it was because it had big rusty holes and we thought the police would stop us due to how it looked. It was so reliable though. Brilliant car.
Maybe a Toyota? I have had 2 used ones and out of all the used cars I have had the Toyota has been the best hands down
I would think that a school for car mechanics would love to have the van(s) to teach its students. Also, unless you bought the van "as is," you should have some recourse with the outfit that sold you this van. If it wants to stay in business, it better make things right.
Ya, like Scotty Kilmer always say money pit. My Toyota although not van is on its 20 yrs >400,000km still run well with regular maintenance.
I really hope the person who sold you this van gets a goodly dose of Karma.
👍👍👍👍👍
Make that dose of karma the front emblem of a MB Van
Oh they will
I love the fact Sherpa feels so comfortable to just relax anywhere like that, im sure its as long as he knows your there with him but its so sweet!
Very lucky hes so adaptable like me
@@SherpasDay My staffy will only do that if im with him but he will normally relax anywhere! Sherpa is a lucky boy!
Well, Mercedes has lost a client in me.
Was actually watching your videos partially because I am getting ready to sell my house and buy a van for full time living and travelling - for atleast a year.
No point spending a load of money on a respected brand because you are trusting there to be quality maintanance / follow up service.
Your perseverance while staying so upbeat and positive is an inspiration!

You act like any car company can't have lemons especially if you buying vehicles from a private seller or some Joe blow off the street.
You don't think people have been sold bad BMWs, bad Mercedes-Benz, bad Chevys, bad Fords, bad dodgers etc a lemon has no brand loyalty.
I am monitoring your progress with the van. I hope it turns out ok. Sherpa Budda will be happy with the world wherever you are.
I like watching a YT channel called BusGreaseMonkey, which is about restoring old GM buses, and getting them back on the road as RV's. You see, my older Brother Dan worked as a diesel mechanic in Miami, FL (back in the 70's and 80's). He passed away 4 yrs ago. There is lots to learn on that channel about diesel engines, heating, and solar. You'd have to move to the states to take advantage of his services. What you are doing is a beautiful thing! Thanks. Tell the Sherpa dog I said Wah - woo - ooo!
On our way Haha
Sherpa is willing to be the supportive road trip buddy by being calm through troubles. The line is drawn on calling him a cat though. Hope things clear up for you quickly.
I think what we all need to do is have positive thoughts so we can will the Jamie and Sherpa van to work again and have know more issues . Fingers crossed Jamie X
I have literally shed a few tears trying to diagnose a crankshaft sensor, I feel for you, its ridiculous how expensive it gets. The both of you are real troopers.
Absolutely HUGE respect and admiration for how you and Sherpa seem to just shrug off your misfortunes. I'd love to win big time on the Lottery so that I could give you sufficient to buy a decent vehicle for you both to continue your road trip in comfort. I only discovered you brilliant videos an hour back so I don't know your situation, but whatever it is I hope you achieve what you set out to achieve and that you only encounter kindness and goodwill. Stay safe.
Keep us in the loop. We need to crowd fund a new van for Sherpa!!!💖💖💖
Mk6 Transit FTW! Keeping mine forever!
Always trust it 💙

Your grounded joy is inspiring -- and it makes me smile :) Thanks for sharing a bit of your life and Sherpa's!
Sherpa was bummed about the van. Hopefully something good will come soon.
Your resilience is such an inspiration! I love watching all your vids. Take care as always!!!
Haha, what a great, positive attitude you have!! I'd be cussing in 6 directions by that point! And I love how when you ask Sherpa if he's ready to hit the road again, he barks out twice, "Let's GO!" very clearly!!
God bless you and your attitude 👍🏻
Bringing you both tons of love and prayers. I'm with you both on all your adventures together everyday brings me so much joy💕
When Sherpa looked up at Jamie after his front paws slipped off the bench it looked like it was almost as if he was saying to Jamie "well this is bloody embarrassing"
I send you positive thoughts and prayers. Love you both, take care! Sherpa knows something is wrong.
Hoping for the best. Stay positive and keep your humor. Thank you for carrying on as best you can. Much love for the both of y'all.
11:38 A unique stretch! For a second I thought he was going to howl, although he was very chatty after :)
No one should have as much bad luck as you seem to have had. I am so sorry you are going through so much. Thank goodness you still have the old van.
Poor you and Sherpa. Saying a prayer for your future happiness.
Great attitude! Give Sherpa an extra tree to for calling him a catto! 🐾🐾❤️❤️🌴🌴
Hi sherpa's dad and sherpa, i wish yall the best in getting that van fixed, i know it has a lot more room for you guys, plus dad sherpa's not no cat . He's the best 🐶 ❤ love ever 💙💙
He’s sooo peaceful!😌
Watching again on September 22 2024, 11:19 pm, remembering Sherpa, and supporting Jamie. Sherpa was so cute, lying on his back. snoozing in the grass. I really came to dread that money-pit Mercedes van (not more than Jamie, I'm sure) Thankfully Jamie and Sherpa got Big Red six months after this video. Rest In Peace sweet Sherpa- watch over Jamie until you two are reunited at the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈🌈🌈
I would have had a mental breakdown with that much stuff going wrong! U & Sherpa both took it pretty well & addapted.
Good luck further. God bless you both.
Wonderful attitude. Very nice to see. Love you sherpa. You always make me smile.
Thankyou Kelly 😊
