    I remember that one tow you got where you were all inside the van on the back of the truck towing you like the flatbed. I think you were by the salt flats. Bolivia maybe I'm not sure. 😊 I was absolutely terrified for you.

      Oh wow. That was so crazy!! Being broke down here is easy haha. Thanks for sticking with us the whole way!! ❤️❤️🙌

      I started watching a little while before you were on with Snow and Curt. You got monetized around then. I come up as Cathy Isaac also for some reason. 😂

    Good call. Yes, changing all those parts at the same time is the best decision ! Glad you found somewhere to get you in quickly and that you were safe!

    Get the next level AAA. We get one 200-mile tow.

    You guys have such a positive attitude and good energy, that, even with these challenges, folks enjoy helping you. 😊

    Definitely not cheap, but that's just what has to be done after that kinda mileage -- Spark plugs that are past their time can start to do real damage to modern engines, so glad you're on that as well as the coils and yes, it likely will run much better and smoother -- might even be less thirsty with the new injectors. Just a tip -- if you use Chevron gas, the Techron they add is a very good fuel system cleaner -- I personally try to use that exclusively, hoping to keep my fuel pump alive longer.
    Nice to see Sombrita and Graham being so well behaved all the time -- couple lil angels. Happy Travels!
    Cheers!...from North Vancouver

    Sorry you had engine trouble but glad it all came out ok. You two are always so positive, at least on camera.

    You had to go to the mechanic again after all that work????? Yikes! Highlight of this one: “all 3 of you have the same expression.” 😂 Glad you’re back on the road headed for some fun in the snow. Hope the rest of the trip was safe. ✌️❤️🚐

    I just want to see you guys on the road doing the things that make you happy. I’m already on your Patreon, but maybe start adding exclusive content, more up to date travel info etc. and that will increase your Patreon support to help pay for maintenance and gas

    You were at Promasters only last summer a week after we were preparing our van for South America. We had to replace the bushings bearings and brakes in Panama ( thank you Servicios Carlos for the Renault parts….) and now our fancy Dorman oil cooler has started leaking in Cali. We can still tour while we wait for a new one. Why Kip didn’t replace your plugs and so forth with your high mileage only he knows. I pray he replaced my coils when he did my plugs last summer but I doubt it. At least here we get right into the shop and Colombia is lovely.

    • @the.vandersons

      Indeed! Colombia has so much variety, mountains, friendly people, and it’s super CHEAP 🤩
      Oh man I hope you can get the engine fixed up good before the high elevations ahead!
      What an adventure. Enjoy!!

    Looks like the mechanic was the genuine article. You've had a good run for your money with the injectors.....maybe improved fuel consumption. Having your own loo.......so important! As you know I had one on the RTW MAN truck - makes life so easy.
    Happy travels. xx

    Not that you have another manufacturer's fan to compare to, but what are your general thoughts on your Van's reliability? Would you pick the same van again for all your travels? Best of luck to you!
