    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.

    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!

    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.

    • @bubbles7950

      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!

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 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. 🌈🌈🌈
