Love the building of tension as you drove back up the road back to camp. I was like hurry up! … in it right with you! So glad all was well that ended well. Even at your most stressed, You are cool as a cucumber. Well done Bex.
I would never go to a car dealer ever unless I had absolutely no other choice, they are $$$$$$$$$ thieves. A small private owned service garage is a much better choice...
YOUCH DUDE!i!i! $840 to replace an alternator? = ( Granted I am not sure how much of a pain to work on those cars may be... but man... It is good to have friends to help you out, Like your buddy turning you on to AAA. When I got my first Jeep and needed a tow I saw the benefits of it right away! Especially if you plan to do some traveling and wheeling. Best WIshes
I am an old guy and have a policy of changing out my battery every five years. I do this because I had a couple bad experiences of being stranded like you just experienced.
Sorry that turned out to be a very expensive bag of ice and a stay in a Stockton. Yes life just has those situations, but All is good the adventures continue 👍🏿🥰
car trouble sucks and so expensive now days... We love where you are camping. My daughter and her husband have a cabin in Twain Harte towards Pinecrest. That is our family's happy place.
:-D I'm from Mountain View and the big story last week was a guy from Stockton shot a cop in Mountain View. So I already thought they had so much crime that they were now exporting it. LOL
I'm glad you're ok with losing power all at once! It doesn't matter how nice a motel/hotel is there's no place like home👠👠 {not quite the ruby slippers I was looking for}
Hello, WOW what an ordeal! I did feel for you as there is nothing more upsetting then breaking down, but to have your caravan away from you and left for 48 hours alone, I would have been going nuts! Hey so happy to see you ok with everything still intact. Sending extra love and hugs from your Australian Nomad Friends ❤️🤗😊
So sorry about your car. But, you got it fixed and you’re on your way again. That’s the important thing. Your guardian Angel looked after your campsite - for sure! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
If I ever run into you out on the road someday I'll talk about how I had a very similar experience. This is one of the worst weeks of my life. My van has a gas leak. That means my home is going to the shop, that requires everything be taken out of the van that I live in 😭 I'm feeling the anxiety you felt. It's been horrific. Relieved your campsite was intact 🎉and your car is running again 👍🏼 my fingers are crossed that something similar happens for me 🤞 Good luck and stay safe Bex 😉
Looks like God was really smiling on you through your ordeal, even gave you a rainbow at the end to remind you that you are never alone, even in the hard times. God Bless
Bex, Have you thought about a portable fridge? We love our dual zone Bougerv 59qt fridge No need for ice, uses 120w, you can set it all freezer or fridge or split It has a optional battery port and solar charging and also Bluetooth controls. We just came back from mid 90s vacation and had no problem with ice cream bars for grandkids! We have a 16 Scamp!
Bex, Thank you for sharing! I'm glad you didn't have anything major fail on your CR-V. And also, so glad that no one disturbed your camp site while you were away. I guess it helped that you weren't parked in San Francisco.
Your headache was probably brought on by your stressful situation. Glad your battery was under warranty and saved you a little money & you didn't have to shell out more money for the tow. Should of asked the motel for more pillows or a different room. Happy everything worked out in the end your car was fixed on Monday & your campsite was in tact. 🎑🏕🌲🌳🌾🚐 Stay safe and I can't wait for your next video!
Thankfully, you did not make it back up to camp. You could have been suck up there without a vehicle and no cell service. Glad you're safe and nothing was missing from your campsite.
Ohhh Beautiful!!!! Hi Bex🙋♀️🇨🇦❤️‼️ watching from Vancouver Island BC🇨🇦 we just traveled 13,670 miles with our new trailer!!! We bought a FJ Cruiser to pull it, and had ignition coil and alternator go. But all the gorgeous country and sunsets made up for it!!! Oh, and we had a $5000custom bicycle stolen. Grr. We got our trailer towed with us when BlackBetty broke down, which motivated them to fix us cuz they didnt want us glamping in their back parkinglot! 😆ohhh, watching you cook reminded me of that awesome Thanksgiving video you did❤️🙋♀️🇨🇦‼️
So glad you’re ok! Love watching you cook at the end of your videos. Gives me ideas for my camping meals. Thanks Bex for always seeing the good in every situation. You never leave us hanging on a dark cloud. We even got to see your rainbow!! 👍🏼
Gosh Bex you were so fortunate it didn't turn out worse. 😊 Thankfully your things were not touched. Maybe there is hope for America. Seems like you kept a positive attitude during this but I'm sure at times you wanted to scream! So happy you're safe and your campsite🏕 was fine and your car🚗 is repaired! Keep bringing us this awesome content...your life. 😚👍💜💙💚
You are such a dear heart! You've weathered so many trials so well! Glad all your things were just as you left them and you are enjoying your beautiful spot!
So so so sorry to hear about your breakdown abd ordeal of worrying. I would vd just like you not being able to sleep. I’ve never had a breakdown while in my camping van. I hope I never do. Thanks for sharing your experience. Future good luck awaits you
I'm so sorry you had this breakdown. I'm happy that you're safe. You're sure having a bad run of luck with vehicles lately. Thank goodness you have AAA from that friend. I have AAA too. It's so important! That diagnostic fee is B.S. That's flat-out theft! Sorry you had to spend all that money. Glad your campsite wasn't ransacked. Right when you showed us the rainbow, I was thinking the same thing. It's a sign. A good one. The run of bad luck has ended. You're in an extra gorgeous area! Glad you're enjoying it! Your meal looked wonderful. Berries! Yum! They're the best. Safest travels, Bex, and better luck too. Good health and happiness to you and everyone you love!
Was camping near Dardanelle at the beginning of august, after 4 days was descending 108 on one of the hottest days. Got to Sonora and noticed my left front brake kept seizing up. Made it to Les Schwab in Sonora. Had a great experience there. They specialize in tires and brakes and very capable mechanics. I've found that you pay much dinero at a dealer. Better to look for a good independent garage.
Sista! Them tacos looked very very delicious. Sorry to hear about your weekend from Hell, but at least it ended up working out OK. None of your gear magically disappeared while you were gone, and the car has been fixed.
Another entertaining video. That’s scary when your car just goes completely dead. AAA is a good idea even if you rarely use it. Too bad the repair shop didn’t have a little pity for you. Glad to hear nothing was stolen from your car or your campsite. The tacos looked really good and to see that rainbow and a beautiful sunset makes you feel better. Thanks Bex.
Living life "on the edge" always seems to put us all the closer to chaos when negative events happen. It's good you are able to take things in stride and let these life "bumps in the road" roll off. Keep living life as best as you can, opportunities abound where we least expect them, we just need to have the insight to seize them.
sorry you experienced this breakdown, bex. equipment failures & health issues make this life harrowing at times. glad you made it through with your sense of humor intact. merlin & i are having a new mexico summer. really enjoying sightseeing. safe travels to you from here on out
What a stressful couple of day! So glad everything was good at the campsite!!! Great looking supper and desert. Thanks for sharing the good times with the bad.
Well they say all's well that ends well. Things always be worse. Sometimes we leave our dog in the camper when we go off on a short errand and getting stuck somewhere for 48 hours would certainly be a dissaster. By the way, it was one of your videos touring fiberglass trailers that led me to buy an Oliver. We full timed for two years and had a blast. Keep up the good work.
glad it was a semi easy fix! i know what you mean about hotel thing, i stayed at one in Needles ca , really dicey hardly slept, happy trails to y'all 😎
So happy for you that everything worked out as it did. I had that happen to my car once, and the power steering went out too, and I was able to get 2 or 3 inches off a busy highway. It was scary.
Dorothy "no place like home" thank you ALL stay safe
Rainbow is a sign of hope and blessing.
The waning sunlight through those trees is just beautiful. And then the rainbow...💕
I'm glad you posted some pictures. Stay safe out there.
Tough situation. Great job working through it. Beautiful camp spot.
We are really needing a Bex Fix. Hope all is well. We'll be here when you are back.
🏆🏆AAA for the win!
Can't say it enough - such a small price for so much value!
Bex, you are something else even under terrible circumstances you can still laugh.
Never saw anyone snicker at everything like you, even at the good and bad !!!
Love the building of tension as you drove back up the road back to camp. I was like hurry up! … in it right with you! So glad all was well that ended well. Even at your most stressed, You are cool as a cucumber. Well done Bex.
She keeps it down pretty deep inside.
Sorry that you had this problem, but glad everything turned out as good as it did for you.
Hi Bex, Just checking in to see how you're doing. It's been a month since you posted. 👋
I know from experience how stressful a vehicle breakdown can be. Glad all turned out ok
I would never go to a car dealer ever unless I had absolutely no other choice, they are $$$$$$$$$ thieves. A small private owned service garage is a much better choice...
Oooh no. I wish you would travel with others. I don't think I could do this alone. You are brave.
Beautiful campsite!
Glad everything worked out for you...
Thank you! :-)
Sometimes the BLESSINGS are OBVIOUS!💜
Your guardian angels were hard at work during that ordeal! 😇 Glad it all worked out. 🌈
Sounds like the alternator to me. Word of advice: NEVER go a stealership for any service ever.
YOUCH DUDE!i!i!
$840 to replace an alternator? = (
Granted I am not sure how much of a pain to work on those cars may be... but man...
It is good to have friends to help you out, Like your buddy turning you on to AAA.
When I got my first Jeep and needed a tow I saw the benefits of it right away!
Especially if you plan to do some traveling and wheeling.

Bummer. I know that feeling and the emotions that come with being broken down practically in the middle of nowhere.
Nowhere is much better than Saint Lois, Memphis, Chicago or dozens of other towns in the unsafe USA.
I am an old guy and have a policy of changing out my battery every five years. I do this because I had a couple bad experiences of being stranded like you just experienced.
Batteries today are designed with a lifespan of 3-5 years.
I also change my battery when it’s 5 years old.
I guess it could’ve been a lot worse. Glad you and your camper are both well and happy!
Much WORSE!
Sorry that turned out to be a very expensive bag of ice and a stay in a Stockton. Yes life just has those situations, but All is good the adventures continue 👍🏿🥰
Glad it worked out. Your camp spot is amazing
Hi Michelle! Yes, it's a nice place but no easy hiking trails nearby. :-)
You can hear it in your voice the relief you feel. Glad it worked out for you. Take care.
Whew, im glad that its all fixed! I need a beer after all that! :) thanks for sharing!
Me too, John. Cheers!
Glad your perspective is to look at the positives. It doesn’t change the situation, but it does make it easier to get through. 😍
Love your adventures! Breaking down sucks. You took it all in stride.
YAY!!! Good to see you! Sorry about the breakdown.
Also glad nothing happened, I've had the EXACT same thing happen to me and I was elated for hours!
car trouble sucks and so expensive now days... We love where you are camping. My daughter and her husband have a cabin in Twain Harte towards Pinecrest. That is our family's happy place.
Glad everything went well 🙂,and good seeing you 🙂
I have not heard from you in a few months. I hope you are ok. Take care.
Glad everything worked out ok 👍. Pork tacos looked yummy!
When you said "Stockton" I knew it would be a horror story. 😆 Glad everything worked out and made it back safely. You are living a dream to many.
:-D
I'm from Mountain View and the big story last week was a guy from Stockton shot a cop in Mountain View. So I already thought they had so much crime that they were now exporting it. LOL
I'm glad you're ok with losing power all at once!
It doesn't matter how nice a motel/hotel is there's no place like home👠👠 {not quite the ruby slippers I was looking for}
💧$240 shower ouch. No way will I ever sleep in another hotel. They creep me out. Safe travels Bex
Sorry to see your break down but, thank goodness everything at your camp was okay.
Yes, very happy no one took anything. :-)
Howdy Bex. Sorry about your car trouble. Glad it wasn't worse then it was. 🚗
Beautiful camping spot!🌲🌲🤠 Carpe Diem 👍
Yes, I'm glad it turned out as it did. :-)

Hi from Tennessee. So glad you got your vehicle fixed. Glad your camp site wasn't messed with. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
🙏🙏🙏 All is good 👍🤗
You always make lemonade out of lemons. Love your channel.
Someone's watching over you!! 😊🙋♀ glad all is well. I enjoy cooking videos! Taco meat looks delicious. 😋
You were so blessed bex. Happy it worked out for you
Thank you! :-)

i just love that giggle you have
Sorry Bex. Happens to us all. It's so stressful, but, for me and probably many others, it usually works out.
I'm so glad all your stuff was ok! What a beautiful camp site.
Bex, Have you thought about a portable fridge?
We love our dual zone Bougerv 59qt fridge
No need for ice, uses 120w, you can set it all freezer or fridge or split
It has a optional battery port and solar charging and also Bluetooth controls.
We just came back from mid 90s vacation and had no problem with ice cream bars for grandkids!
We have a 16 Scamp!
Bex, Thank you for sharing! I'm glad you didn't have anything major fail on your CR-V. And also, so glad that no one disturbed your camp site while you were away. I guess it helped that you weren't parked in San Francisco.
Yes, if I had left anything in SF, it would be gone before the tow truck came. LOL
Your headache was probably brought on by your stressful situation. Glad your battery was under warranty and saved you a little money & you didn't have to shell out more money for the tow. Should of asked the motel for more pillows or a different room. Happy everything worked out in the end your car was fixed on Monday & your campsite was in tact. 🎑🏕🌲🌳🌾🚐
Stay safe and I can't wait for your next video!
So sorry your car broke down but really glad that your camper was OK. That is always my biggest fear tooplus I have a dog. 👍🏻❤️🤗
Glad everything went well for you ,
Thank you! :-)
Enjoy your day
wow Bex. so glad everything turned out ok. that would be so scary!
Hi Bex. Well, you were NOT having your Bext Day! Glad all turned out well. Looking fwd to your next vid. Safe travels.
Thankfully, you did not make it back up to camp. You could have been suck up there without a vehicle and no cell service. Glad you're safe and nothing was missing from your campsite.
Yes, things somehow always work out for the best. :-)

Incase you have forgotten you're pretty awesome! Xoxo
You are such a dear heart! You've weathered so many trials so well! Glad all your things were just as you left them and you are enjoying your beautiful spot!
If there is a next time try renting a U-Haul van for a day, most have a hitch and bring your camper where you can keep an eye on it.
where are you? We're worried 😟 Hope you're safe wherever you are. 🤗
Hi, you ok ? Hope you got your car fixed . Best wishes
So happy things worked out.
Part 2. Wow, A repair that totalled over$1000! Ouch. So sorry but I'm glad it's done & you're safe again in your home.
So so so sorry to hear about your breakdown abd ordeal of worrying. I would vd just like you not being able to sleep. I’ve never had a breakdown while in my camping van. I hope I never do. Thanks for sharing your experience. Future good luck awaits you

Glad to hear nothing was stolen from your car or your campsite. The tacos looked really good and to see that rainbow and a beautiful sunset makes you feel better. Thanks Bex.
So glad to have AAA. I definitely don't recommend that dealership to anyone. I think they charged way too much.
Where in the world is Bex!? Periscope UP Bex!! J
I;m sorry this all happened to you
Living life "on the edge" always seems to put us all the closer to chaos when negative events happen. It's good you are able to take things in stride and let these life "bumps in the road" roll off. Keep living life as best as you can, opportunities abound where we least expect them, we just need to have the insight to seize them.
Glad this worked out. Little excitement adds to the adventure! 😲 Well, maybe not. 🙂 Take care. -- Mark
So glad all worked out!
Im so happy everything sieges in your favor Bex 💓
The Bend t-shirt is awesome!
Give credit where credits due Luv! Good Karma!
I am happy that things turned out well, costly, but well. Take care!
Happy you are OK! What an ordeal, I guess this is where the emergency fund comes in handy!👍😃 That sunset and rainbow were amazing!!!! Bless you!!!
sorry you experienced this breakdown, bex. equipment failures & health issues make this life harrowing at times. glad you made it through with your sense of humor intact. merlin & i are having a new mexico summer. really enjoying sightseeing. safe travels to you from here on out
Hi Claire! Always good to hear from you. Cannot wait to get to New Mexico and spend a month or two. :-)
I love it that you were sent a rainbow to tell you that your ordeal was over. Also VERY happy that you were able to stay safe!!! 😊
Very lucky. Glad it turned out well!
What a stressful couple of day! So glad everything was good at the campsite!!! Great looking supper and desert. Thanks for sharing the good times with the bad.
Life sometimes gets you right in the wallet eh!? Safe travels Bex!
Miss you!😟💕 Somehow I missed this video 9 months ago. Hope you are ok?
So thankful all worked out for you- definitely praying for you & thank goodness you are ok
Phew... sure sounds like a " Maximum Stress Moment" Glad your safe and all is ruñing smoothly
Well they say all's well that ends well. Things always be worse.
