    Hi Nikki, I have a 2012 Prius with 90000 miles. About 3 months ago, my Prius started doing some weird things, though not starting was not one of them. I did get a low battery warning on the dash. I thought it was for the key fob battery, which I did replace, but that wasn't it. So I did replace the 12 volt battery and now the only problem that I have is when I turn it off, and later, turn it back on, the HVAC system will default to 75 degrees in the heat mode with the fan off. It doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes. It probably just needs to be reset, but I don't trust any of the local dealers in my area. Anyway, I really injoy your vids, please keep it up. Oh Yeah, Camper is awesome. I have a rescue pup myself. She was dumped a my local library @ 8 weeks old, with Parvovirus, $1200 to treat her, and worth every penny.🐶🐶🐶

    Fellow 2nd Gen Prius owner here - I've found the issue with the car not starting tends to be the interface between the key and the dash plug - I'm lucky that my 2009 has SmartKey, so I can start the car without the need to plug it directly into the dash. Here's hoping you never have the dreaded issue with being unable to turn the car off and remove the key. Stay safe out there, ya hear!

    Anyone else out there having a hard time deciding between a Prius and a Sprinter Van? I've added up the pros and cons of both in my head probably a thousand times at this point, and I still can't decide which one is my better option. Nikki is just one of those people who makes the Prius lifestyle look super fun, and the fact that you don't need a van to do all this, that you can be totally comfortable and happy living in a Prius is just amazing. And I've wanted a van for a while now, but this kind of thing just trips me up and makes me want a Prius, instead.

    • @NikkiDelventhal
      @NikkiDelventhal  2 роки тому

      I recommend renting both for weekend and trying it out! I at times wish I had more space and 4x4 abilities but also a van could never park some of the places I do or have climate control. It’s such a hard decision!!!!:-) Let me know what you do!

    • @jasminealeiah3860
      @jasminealeiah3860 2 роки тому

      @@NikkiDelventhal Choosing is so hard! There are so many benefits to both versions that I just keep flickering back and forth between them. Honestly, though, I've often considered just starting off with a Prius and then upgrading to a van once I've got the money I need saved up, because I'm super impatient and I don't think I can sit around for upwards of a year just saving money and not getting to go places and do stuff in the meantime.

    • @jasminealeiah3860
      @jasminealeiah3860 2 роки тому

    Yes, our old Prius' are no longer tending to our AUX batteries as well as they used to. Before next summer look up how to check your inverter coolant pump. Make sure it's working. But in the winter convection alone will do pretty good. I'm making a whole secondary car computer that will tie in via the OBD2 port to better monitor the subsystem performance.
