Flashback: Lyndsay's Van Life - Part 5

Part 4

I broke down in Bozeman, was questioned by police, got towed to an auto shop and clogged their toilet, they were booked and I needed to be towed to another shop, then found out I'd been outside the other shop before the original tow. Because my life is a comedy.

Sunday Review: RV Wheel Bearings Explained - Guest Post by Dale Constantine

I previously made a post on a Sunday Review about a quick and dirty path to greasing your wheel bearings. As it turns out, I was grossly misinformed! While the "cheat" works if you are in a pinch (and got us across mountains and a couple thousand kilometres when we had no other choice), it is definitely not recommended and is very risky. I will be doing a complete service of my bearings this year before moving to my next destination. Proper wheel bearing service is a necessity for travel trailers and 5th wheels.

So here to correct me is licensed automotive technician Dale Constantine, whom you can find on LinkedIn. This post is an explanation of the wheel bearings. Next Sunday's post will explain why you should never cheat!

No Thursday Post This Week

We just hauled our setup from Vancouver Island back to Winnipeg in this midst of the pandemic. While all of our posts were ready for while we were driving, we did not have a Thursday post ready, nor enough time and energy to put one together. We hope to be back to our normal schedule on Sunday, with an article from a licensed technician explaining the problems with my previous post on wheel bearings.

Thank you.

Lyndsay:

So now I finally had my temporary registration and it was time to head back to Winnipeg.

But this was an old vehicle. There was no computer to warn me if anything was going wrong. It had a single temperature gauge that said "hot" on one side, "cold" on the other, and a large "normal" section in the middle.

I was hauling ass through California. I made it into Nevada.

Sunday Review: Why you need a Costco membership.

"We can't store bulk groceries, why would we have a Costco membership?"

I cannot for the life of me comprehend this response when I recommend that other full timers make purchases at Costco.
