I cannot help but admire ANY women that doesn't mind learning and getting her hands dirty to work on her own car wow!!! Total respect, you have gained a subscriber here 😁
By the way, that looked like mice chewed stuff in that oil filter chamber, very common issue, lots of ways to combat mice, I'm sure others have noticed and may give you some advice on how to deal with them, there are many ways, RUclips has info too.
Awe, thank you. Girl power, we can do it all IF we want to. 🤣 Welcome to the fam! Thrilled to have you here; I appreciate you following my journey and supporting my channel. Thank you. 💙
I pray not; I'm about to barf. 🤢🤣 I didn't see any droppings - I hope I ran over something... I have a 45 point inspection scheduled, so I'll know exactly what's going on soon. 🤗
@@WhereisTiffany mice were in the process of making a home in your filter housing. There should be a tube in in the grill area that leads to the filter housing. Place a metal screen over it to keep the mice out.
It's nice to see that Pretty
Smile, Safe travels.
I have changed air filters too. You're right, Dealerships charge way too much.
Yep, they do!
Looking refreshed and blessed! So glad to have you and your smile back! Remember, nothing can be too bad when you have dimples!😊🥰
I feel refreshed! Glad to be back to my old self - at peace and smiling my way through life! 🙌🏿💙
Also, you made like you had to literally stick your hand down the toilet to empty the black water tank. Gurl, it didn’t look that bad!👀😂🤢
🤣 The diva side of Tiffany hates it. It's her least favorite task. 🤣🤢🤮
Actually this was just what I needed to feel confident about doing this maintenance on my Ram Promaster. I’ve saved it so I can refer back I just ordered a large sticker and a magnet , can’t wait to put them on my van/rv. I love your videos and most of all I love to see that you are safe happy. I’m a solo van dweller just started this journey beginning of July so I’m pretty green. When I get overwhelmed I just put on one of your videos and immediately feel inspired. Thanks so much Tiffany , know that you are loved by viewers you may never meet ❤️🌹
You can do it! It's easy and will boost your "girl power"! Are you traveling full-time? Hopefully, we get a chance to meet on the open road. Safe travels my friend. Love to you. 💙
I hate to tell you Tiffany but it looks like a rodent has been in your air filter. They love to eat foam and wiring.
Peppermint oil on cotton balls in your engine compartment will deter mice. Love you colorful leggings.
Did you remember your screw driver tip? Thanks for all the good info and as always thanks for the ride and safe travels.
Donna from Texas
I drove away and didn't remember until miles away. I hate losing my stuff.😭💸💔
My pleasure!
Try to purchase a small socket/ratchet set. Screw and unscrew bolts easier. You rock!!!
You are so right! This saves a lot of money over time and it’s just so easy. Why pay someone else to do it, when that money can be used for a host of other things, right? One suggestion I have is that you and others use a diagnosing surge protector for all external electric plugins. I’ve been to 3 campgrounds in the last 2 years that had electric posts that were not wired correctly and my surge protector alerted me before I plugged in and suffered damage to my rig’s electric system. The surge protectors seem expensive, but could save you a TON of money!! Also, the water filter you’re using is only a 20micron filter, so the most it will do is catch sediment. You’d want a smaller micron filter to catch the chemicals and stuff. I use the Clear2O. They are also available at Walmart, Amazon, etc.
Yep, tons of money! 🙌🏿
My surge protector was connected to the adapter. I've been using surge protectors for over 3 1/2 years now. I never plug in without one! My outdoor filter works great. It's not just for sediment - I also have two filters inside the van. I'm good. Thank you. 😉
Nice to see your smile. 🥰 Your last update about your AC problems just broke my heart.😔
My heart was heavy...
I'm glad to see my smile too. 🤣💙
I’m so happy you’re back missed you Tiffany you can do this 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💯💯💯💯🙏🏽❤️ you can change your head lights too Windshield wipers also
Missed you guys too! 💙
Nice 👍
Tiffany , I'm new to your page, but I love your videos, I love the fact that you are living your life on your terms. That smile, priceless.
Thank you. Welcome to the fam! Thrilled to have you here.
Yay the smile is back!!
I enjoyed learning how the draining works.
Great idea to take a picture first!!!
Awesome job Tiffany. Thst piece that you secured with the clamps for the 2nd air filter is called an intake horn 👌 👍 keep at it youre an awesome person 👏
Wow Tiffany, the scenery in Wyoming is so beautiful 😍. I hope you post more of the beautiful, beautiful Scenery 😍❤♥. Thank you so much 😊 for sharing what comes with living the van life. 😊
Hi Tiffany, I received my pretty large sticker from you. It made me smile from the cute sticker on the envelope to the thoughtful note, I placed the sticker on my Happy Planner Journal :)
Yay! Glad you received it and like it. Thank you again for the support. It's much appreciated!
Tiffany! You're back with that bright smile, yay! I hope that you are feeling better.
I feel great! Basking in the peace of God. 🙌🏿
Watching you put those tiny screws down where they could blow away or get lost made me nervous…
I always put the little parts (nuts, bolts, screws,etc) in my pocket or somewhere where they won’t get lost.
Tiffany you are so organized. "A place for everything and everything in it's place". Somebody said it but I don't know who. By the way, my magnets are now on my refrigerator. Thanks
Tiffany has got skills! I barely know how to check my oil. I’m impressed! I’m getting tired just watching you! Glad you had a good time with your friends!
Girl power over here! 🙌🏿 I had a great time.
I am so happy to see your sweet smile back again. I hope that you will have better travels.
Thank you, me too! 💙
Don’t worry about the nails Ms. T., we have seen how clean you are 😊
Thank you, EE. I am a very clean person. 🤣
THANK YOU SOOOI MUCH, this was such a GREAT video!! I don't have tanks to empty, but you never know in the future!! The engine and tire maintenence was INVALUABLE!! I think I'm going to go buy a tire inflator before my next trip! Looking BEAUTIFUL as ever, even while doing maintenence!!
My pleasure! Awe, thank you. 💙
Hi Tiffany, great video! Please top off your coolant to just below the MAX level in those high desert temperatures. Your engine needs the coolant level as close to max as possible to prevent overheating. Fill it very slowly so you don’t overfill it. Best wishes!
Travel prayers! Thank you for sharing all the beautiful scenery 🥰
Miss Tiffany, this is one of your best videos ever! I admire you soooo much. I shared this video with my step daughter who is planning to relocate to Texas from California. She will be driving her car. I enjoyed and learned a lot watching you perform these tasks. You are a great inspiration to women and men too. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Peace and blessings always.
Good afternoon from Tennessee. Great video. Showing people how to do minor maintenance on your vehicle will help save your viewers alot of money over time. Places charge way to much money to do that tip of maintenance. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great day.
Yep, they will charge you an arm and leg to change out a $20 filter. 🤣 My pleasure!
I caught that in the end that your in a commercial!? Whaaaat! How cool
Tif's Full Service Garage. Love it
Right! 🤣
I was so happy to see the notification pop up for your video! These are things all women should know how to do, basic maintenance that helps keep your vehicle in good shape. Always enjoy your videos!!
Thank you. 💙 Yes, we should know how to do these things even if we're in a relationship or single.
Hi Tiffany!!! 💖🥰 So great to see you again!
I've missed you guys. I had zero cell coverage for 3 days straight. 😳 I did get a lot of work done...🙌🏿🤣
@@WhereisTiffany Oh gosh!! Lol You always get through it! 😄😄 We missed you too! 💜💜
So glad to see you back and smiling. It must feel so empowering to do those task yourself. As you said, girl power! I felt empowered just watching you.
Great to see your SMILE! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
Thank you Tiffany! You are a fierce woman van life road warrior! Enjoy your videos and your choice of music.
This is 👍 letting ppl know how to change all the necessities for keeping your vehicle / home in great condition 👍🥰🥰
Great info Tiffany! It feels good to do maintaince and repairs on your own. I recently changed the drain pump on my washing machine by myself!! I watched a youtube guy explaining and showing how and linking parts etc. Gave me confidence!! You do to! Yeah!!
Yass! So proud of you. We can do it all IF we want to. 🤣
Great and informative video...from a fellow self auto repair female. Hubby does most of it, but I do the oil changes, air filters, etc. I'm so glad you shared this! 😊👍🏾
Yass! Girl power. We can do it all IF we want to. 🤣
@@WhereisTiffany that's right! 💜
Thank you for the great information. Glad to see you back, have a great trip. See you soon.
Glad your back❤
Tiffany doing maintenance on her home like a boss, so proud of you! I enjoyed this thanks.
It’s great seeing you Tiffany!! You’re right about changing your own air filters, it will save you a lot of money. Those mountains are spectacular..wow! Safe travels and enjoy!
Thanks, Roumell. I'm always looking for a way to save money. 🤣 Those mountains were stunning! 🙌🏿
Love that you do this maintenance on your vehicle, way to go Tiffany, good to see you doing better!!
Girl power! 🙌🏿 It feels good to have peace and my bright smile back. 💙 Thank you.
Heyyy Tiffany have a safe and blessed day!
Thank you, Ebony. 💙
@@WhereisTiffany your welcome
Hi Tiffany. I’m glad that you’re smiling again.🤗 This was so impressive. Thank you so much!
Thanks, JacJac. 💙
Yes!!! This is the how-to video I was waiting for! I don’t why changing grey water and filters was scary to me. I was intimated because I didn’t have a clue. But you gave details and broke it down perfectly. THANK YOU! 🤗
Wonderful to see your beautiful smiling face ! Hope you are feeling much better !
Thank you. I feel much better! Basking in the peace of God! 🙌🏿
Girl 👧 I really love ❤️ what you are doing traveling seeing the sites being your own person today is my first time watching your channel and I can’t stop watching you go girl 👍🏽
Great information and tip!!!! Thank you!
Thanks girl. We bought our Promaster 3500 ext 159" back in May. We're building it out this summer. My hubby is disabled. And I'm gonna have to know all of the stuff that you've shown in this video. I hope to see you on the road!
Hey there Tiffany 👋🏾. It’s so good to see you in better spirits!! 🙏🏾🥰
It feels good being back to my old self! Basking in the peace of God living my best life 🙌🏿
this is really encouraging. i’ve only ever done my tires but never tried doing the other maintenance you’ve shown. thank you for sharing and making it look easy. glad to see you back and in good spirits!!
Edit: oooh i reached the end...what kind of commercial? so cool!
It's so easy and will save you tons of money; you got this!
I'm glad to be back to my old self.
Yay! Thanks for watching my video to the end. 🥰 I'm sharing more in an upcoming video. I filmed quite a bit of the experience. 🙌🏿
Hi internet family 🖤🖤🖤
I’m impressed the way you worked on your vehicle!
Good seeing you again. Always smiling 😊
😳….A commercial? Awesome 👏🏾👏🏾!!
Thank you. And thanks for watching my video to the end. 🥰
Tiffany, you make that look easy! Good job, I’m terrible at that.👍🏾😊💗
It's east, Memi. You got this! 🙌🏿
Tiffany you are handy I would be nervous to do my own maintenance on my vehicle but definitely does save money. I hope you have a wonderful time where you're going and safe travels.
Thank you Tiffany 💕💕💕Educating us with your experience and wisdom. Love watching your journey!!!
Always a pleasure! I 💙helping others. 🙌🏿
You are a rock star!!! Thank you for showing me how to do this. Hope to meet you on the road!
I love to see this! Fortunately for me my boyfriend handles everything with the cars but I absolutely love to learn how to do stuff like this because you never know when you gotta get in there and do it yourself. And I love how you make it look so easy. I’ve changed parts on my vacuum which seems similar to this lol
Yep, nothing wrong with knowing how to do essential maintenance yourself. I have a girlfriend that burned up her motor because her Ex always took care of everything... Expensive lesson learned. 😳🤣
💚🤔Oh Goodness Tiffany...
I wish I could work on my own Jeep!👍🏽 Good Info!
Awesome Tiffany! I enjoy you and your travels so much, keep up the good work and stay safe!🙏💖😊
Hey! We missed you! Agreed, you can save a lot of $ doing basic maintenance and PMCS. Great content. Stay safe and TFS💖
Missed you guys too. 💙 Yes, you can. I love saving money anyway that I can. 🤣
I’m a new sub, I purchased a 2500 ProMaster high roof 3 weeks ago. This is such a great and informative video ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you.
Enjoyed your video and glad you are back!! Thanks I received my Smiling sticker, just love the smile. I love that you dig in and work on vehicle, that is great! Blessings
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Yay! Thank you again for your continuous support. It's much appreciated. Girl power!
Hey Tiffany. Once I found out from RUclips how to change my all my air filters and light bulbs and change my own oil. I saved a great deal of money on a yearly basis. You doing good Young Lady.
Yass! It's so easy to do, and it saves us a ton of money.🙌🏿
Hey Tiffany! Great tips. Oh and l got my magnet and l love it.
Thanks, Nikki! Yay. Glad you liked it. 💙
I like visual inspection for nest & rodents hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the tip. ❤ 😊
Got my stickers love it😜 next week I’m going to Devils tower Wyoming . Safe travels.
Hi Tiffany , I’m kinda new to your Chanel although I have commented before. I just realized your van is a Winnebago! So it’s not a custom build? Which one is it? If you already told us this please direct me to that video! Just let me say again you have such an amazing spirit, you make me so comfortable about my own vanlife plans. I realize I can live in a cozy van on my own terms and be happy, joyful and fulfilled! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Great info. Thanks a bunch. Good to see you in good spirits. Take care.
Thank you Tiffany! Great video. Safe travels.
Hello Tiffany your videos are so inspiring. I am doing my research now and your videos provide a lot of information on questions or concerns I may have had. One thing I am running into with my desire and quest to start this journey is friends and family thinking I am crazy for even wanting to do this. I have decided to keep it to myself and work toward my goal. Again love your videos.
Thank you, Jacqueline. I share my journey to inspire. I'm proud of you for following your heart regardless of what others around you may think or have to say. It's your life to live however you want to. I wish you many happy memories- YOLO! 😉
I'm glad you're back and smiling again. I'm glad you learned to maintain your van. The mechanics be overcharging.
Good to see you doing maintenance videos. Very good information.
Thank you.
Hi Tiffany! Great meeting you in Wyoming! I'm following!!! :). -Stuart
Hi, Stuart -
Thank you for the photos. Sorry I haven't replied to your text messages. After spending two days catching up on sleep, I've been working night and day. Those late nights got to me. 🤣 I had a blast! I feel refreshed now. It was a pleasure meeting you too. Welcome to the fam! Thank you so much for following my journey and supporting my channel. It's much appreciated.
I look forward to checking out your channel this weekend. Take care and safe travels, my friend!
Thank you Tiffany🌺
Thank you for this video. I already check my fluids. I will now be changing my filters 💜
Yasss! You can do it! So easy, and it'll save you so much money. 🙌🏿
Nice video; we do most of our own basic maintenance too. It really does save $$$; plus it can take forever for RV service centers to do almost everyting.
Thank you. Yes, I think they move slowly 🐌 so they can rack up the labor dollars. 🤣
Hi..Tiffany thanks for sharing...great Job...stay safe..
Thank you, Karen. 💙
Forgot to tell you; I got my magnets today! I can’t wait to buy more merchandise! Xoxo
Yay! Thanks for letting me know you received them. I appreciate the support. 💙
Great presentation. Congrats! Tiffany
I missed you so glad to see you back. 🥰
Good to see you again 😇❤👍
WTG Tiffany! Thank you for sharing with us the details of how you maintain your home (van). It was very thorough & I learned a lot. Stay safe out there & have fun. May God continue blessing you with traveling mercies.
Yay, glad to hear that, Delphine. Thanks for the positive feedback. ,😉

I have changed the filter on my Mazda CX-5 . You have to pay attention to detail, and replace it exactly right.
This was a great video. Seeing your smile lit up my night. God Bless you always.
Thank you.💙💙💙 Blessing to you too. 🤗
Girl power! I love that you have chosen to put together a video to show how easy a task these are to do on your own. Saving money! Bravo! And Thank you! That item I would call a doohickey or thingermajigger! 😂😂😂
Yasss! All girl power over here! We can do anything. Omg, I haven't heard doohickey and thingamajigger in so long; I love it! 🤣
Thanks for sharing 👍❤️
Oh oh yall set? Commercial? She's about to go Hollywood on us yall ❤❤❤
Yass! I'm so grateful for the opportunity. Speak it into existence. 🙌🏿 I'm not an actor; I did my best, and hopefully, they don't cut all my scenes out. 🤣🤣🤣 you guys will see the commercial (late Sept-Oct.) Before I do, if it's horrible, don't even tell me it's showing. If it's good, tell me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks for watching my video to the end. 🤗
I work on cars for 12 years now
How well did I do?
So happy to see you up and running. It’s so nice seeing a woman handling her business. I have to go to my RV (bus) to change out batteries. I’m about to find out where these filters are. I’ll be hitting the road in 2 weeks.
Thank you. Yass, we can do anything! 🙌🏿 Yay! Are you traveling full-time? Safe travels
Great video. I am sure it will inspire some women to do some basic easy maintenance themselves.
I hope so; that's why I share my journey - to inspire! 💙
Hi Tiffany I received my stickers Love them Thank You Sooo Much 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽🙂
