 Good morning from Ehrenberg, Arizona California's that flat part right over there right over yonder yonder over the Colorado River, okay Here's what's going on Dan's been running great. However There are a few things especially if you saw yesterday's video And all the other videos there are a few things going on that need to be fixed also All right, so let's talk about that first So we are leaking me and Dan about one gallon of oil every five thousand miles and If you saw my eco-friendly thing That's not cool I don't want to leak that much oil and I haven't known Didn't know how to fix it and so Badge is gonna help me with that as well. We got the shocks done We checked on the heater thing. We talked about the AC. I got a part for that The blinker doesn't Stay in the blinking position. It also smokes from time to time The column shifter might be broken Badge thinks so and I can get a whole new steering column for I think about a hundred bucks individually I Would have to buy the parts brand new and it probably cost me like three four hundred bucks perhaps So I think the best idea is to go to the junkyard try and find a steering column and then Come back here and fix it. Also. I was gonna have a gig in Kentucky That's not happening as of right now that was I was gonna make some money and That was gonna help out, but that didn't work out so That has opened my schedule up and my family wants me to come back for a week to help out around the house and Basically like move a bunch of stuff. So I'll be flying back and might have a break in the videos for about a week That's gonna so be flying out like the first end of the first week of February I Will be going east after I fix up some of the stuff on the bus I might come back here after I get back from the trip Grab a steering column like I said grab some other stuff and get Dan in tip-top shape to make it through all the other states with No problems And here's why Since I have such a nice person like badge helping me out Thank you badge by the way Sincerely thank you. It's been awesome hanging and working on the bus and learning stuff and So opportunity cost option one I Could have gone east I could have made money and Then if I broke down I could have cost me perhaps what I made right see what I'm saying now like I said Not gonna make money that didn't work out. So the other option is Save money on gas and fuel because it's getting super expensive. It's 140 bucks to fill up each time That goes about 600 miles Option two is to save money on gas fix things for relatively very little cost for a couple hundred bucks compared to thousands and Then after things are fixed like the oil leak then head east so I Don't want to go east with the potential of something happening that could cost a lot of money I think it's smarter to fix things here and now Also, if somebody snags a bus after I do all the 49 states I Want it to be like In tip-top shape. I've heard the brand new RVs are just Problem prone and I want this thing to be like bulletproof for the next person So that's why well also. I want to be safe. I don't want to break down. So that's the reasoning for that now Today we're gonna work on the oil leak I'll check in with you in a sec All right, I got master mechanic badge Yeah, looking for the oil leak and We also had another rat nest That we tossed out so I think we found a little critter that was crawling in here with When I had Cody and Josh with me no evidence of oil here They're a very common oil leak is in the valley between This left part and the right side, but there's nothing there so What do you say? so this is another thing right where the light is shining is another location of Potential leaks, but there's nothing going on there. There's no oil residue No fresh oil everything on the inside is Pretty dry too if you can see way down there. That's another location that little if you guys can see that Way down in that hole you zoom in Mechanics and operating a camera Especially this camera a 7s2. It's not a good idea. I think in the future When I do mechanics, I should definitely use like a GoPro then I can wash it off And I need to upgrade to those all in one weather sealed like five or six because my four It can't handle the grease, you know as well as like a five or six could so a little update the The place where the location where the oil is appearing is all cleaned off Do some brake cleaner and wiped it down? I'm gonna drive to town and back to do some errands But also to try to see where the leak appears Apparently, it's important to clean it up Drive it around and then look for the leak or start it up so We also fixed up a few things and Including some wires, which you won't really notice but This wire all the wires down there, too. We all Bad suggested we clean it up. I also took off this switch here With his suggestion. I should say he took it off That is for my rear fan for the AC which the AC is currently not working, but this is real It's not really working so well All these things like move around and stuff and they kind of like short out and stuff It's weird. So we're gonna put it like right up here Next to the eject button, but you never want to hit the eject button But we'll put that right there What else Badge doesn't think that the air Door actuator is broken So we're not gonna rip the dash apart, but I am gonna get the AC fixed That will hopefully alleviate the problem What else yeah go to the parts store Laundry grocery store all that fun stuff got myself a steering stabilizer to match all of the brand new shocks and I got myself a Radius arm bumper. That's the Part that goes it goes metal metal right now, but it probably won't because I have Brand new shocks, but just in case that's to protect from that got some paper towels Got these eco-friendly sanitizing wipes For sausages more tortilla with Tom Kong tortilla chips That's some wipes for The bomb More disinfectant wipes salsa cheese sauerkraut onions
