So many people are having issues with Thor RVs built during covid. It is shocking how bad their quality appears to be. You are amazing to keep such a positive attitude.
@@Nomadicintrovert I think the RAM Promaster chassis and engine have at least average reliability, and you are so conscientious with your maintenance, your engine and major vehicle systems should support your travels. I think you were VERY smart to buy that extended warranty.

Hey girl, just a thought, you are deepening your walk with God, that means the adversary is going throw everything at you. Hang in there, stand strong!
@@monicaholland944 I was watching another channel and this couple had a brand new rv for 3 months and they had a list as long as their arm of stuff not working - and it was going to be another 6 months before they could get it in at the dealership! They were hoping they could get everything fix at that time as they only had a 1 year warranty- I’m thinking if the dealership can’t fit you in, it should freeze the warranty clock and have it restart once the problems are dealt with
After watching numerous vids on how unreliable some of these professional builds can be, I decided to convert my own campervan. In doing so, I will know exactly how to diagnose, source and fix things. You're a real trouper. I am rooting for you.
I agree with you. I too plan on converting my van into a camper van myself as well. So when a problem arises I’ll know more of what the problem is & how to fix it.
I'm an Alaskan.. I hike some myself & I "carry" but I also always bring a small pocket air horn with me when I do go. That loud nose scares everyone, including animals. And is a good way to get anyone's attention in the area. We could never be too safe in the woods.
The fact that you are finding the problems and are addressing them, that’s a blessing! Keep doing it how you do it; it will keep you ahead of the game!
She has so much patience. I don’t know if I can have the patience she has with all the problems she faces with her van. I don’t know if I can be as polite as she is with those people. She’s a sweetheart.
I hate to say this but you may have a lemon on your hands. I think you said your RV was brand new. You should not be experiencing that many problems. I'd look into the lemon laws for RV's and check if your vehicle qualifies. You may need to get a new one.
Don’t let anything get to you. These are minor things that you can totally afford and get through. Each day is always different challenges but you are so lucky to be in the position you’re in and your organization and van reorganization looks amazing best of all representing Michigan Michigan cap! M🙌🏻 You should get a big Florida beach towel for your shower towel to represent your first state. ☀️🌊🐚
I admire you on this journey. I’ve always wanted to travel as you do, and now, at 71 years young, I would be a bit afraid to go out on my own. You are so calm! Safe travels
Dear, it's time to write a Certified letter to the president or Ower of the dealership where you bought your car. Let them know all the attempts that you have made to get your generator repaired showing your due diligence. You might even want to send him the links to your TH-cam Channel where you have attempted to give them the benefit of the doubt but this is not giving them good advertisement. Put the ball in their cart and ask them What they would recommend for you to get your vehicle repaired So you can get back on the road and get on with your life. I had to do this a couple of times and I was amazed by their response.
Very true...last few years rv dealerships didnt care....but new rvs are selling slower now with more used ones available and the economy....might try it.
NOMI!! Please keep an eye on the weather this week coming up. Hurricane season officially starts June 1st however, it appears we are getting our first tropical wave moving through next week. NOT a big deal, a tropical wave usually brings heavy rain and not much else. However, keep an eye out to make sure nothing else develops. Have your emergency supplies on hand. (This is the time all of us Floridian prep) that way when an actual hurricane or tropical storm comes through we are ready and just have to pick up some basics and nothing else. If you wait until the last minute it will be pandemonium. Get ready now. WFTV ~ Channel 9 has more detailed info.
I love the transparency that you have. I have watched all of your videos and you always seem to handle any life stressors with dignity and patience. Hang in there, each situation is an opportunity for education and growth.
I feel your pain with the VA. I’ve spent many, many hours, days and weeks there with my husband. They ALWAYS treated him with respect and great care. He was a 100% service connected, P&T vet and I have to admit now that he’s gone, I kinda miss going there and watching him enjoy the “community”. Stay strong, we all love you. ❤ And thank you for sacrificing for my freedom.
My boyfriend is under care with the VA and has a group of Retired vets who commune with each other weekly. I enjoy the stories he tells me about his buddies there.
I usually dont watch people in their everyday lives but this channel and you! Makes me enjoy it. It's so peaceful and enjoyable. I like when a person is real and not faking it for views or clicks. Not to mention it makes me wonder if I can do what you do. I love the freedom of it all and experience. Thank you for showing us a glimpse in your everyday life.
I live in a senior apartment, and I confess I'm a bit of a prepper. Last year I bought a big solar generator with a solar panel. There have been a couple of power outages, but I had the comfort of knowing that I could power my fridge if needed. And have lights. Keep trying to get that generator fixed, Nomi. But always have at least one backup power source. Especially if you're planning on being out on BLM land. It won't run your AC but it will keep your fridge going and charge your phone and puter.
I could literally sit & binge watch your videos all day because I enjoy you so much. Your content is real & you show it all. The good , the bad & ugly. I hope you make it to a beautiful beach to recharge YOUR battery soon. Stay safe & well!
Hi Nomi. It's good to see you. I haven't been following alot but I need to get out of my head and see a friendly face and enjoy your videos. My daughter has cancer. It can't be cured but I'm never going to give up hope. It's horrible how much Cancer can turn one's world upside down. You mentioned Van life is like being on a roller coaster and that's how I feel. Up one day , down another. Life sure throws us curve balls. I can imagine the ups and downs of Van life but it sure is enjoying to watch.. I'm sorry you've had issues with your generator. Sometimes it makes you wonder if some of these techs know what they are doing but it's great you still have warranty. Just checking in on you Nomi. Stay safe and enjoy your travels. Take the good with the bad. ❤
I’m so happy your van is all fixed and your on to your next journey 😊 I watch every video of yours and live vicariously through you. I’m 55, took care of my dad for 4 years until he passed, now I’m taking care of my mom who’s 90 years old. What your doing I would love to do and maybe some day I will. I love being alone, travel when I can and having peace in my life with God 🙏🏻 safe travels have fun and know I’m loving and watching all your journeys 💕
This RV company should thank you for showing up the issues with their builds. They should now be able to come with better builds, with parts that are not inferior.
I have a 20 year old class c that I have been renovating for 2 years. It is always something wrong and I am just a weekender. There is nothing worse than a water leak or power issue. My generator is original and still works great. However, I use it to run the microwave once a trip maybe. My goal is to go to 70 degree weather so I never have to use my AC. It is so loud and obnoxious I hate running it. You are in the wrong part of the country for summer my friend. The mountains and mesas of northern New Mexico are lovely and temperate. ❤❤❤😊
Thank you for detailing the ins and outs of van life, I want to go tiny and thought of van life but after watching what you're going through, my anxiety wouldn't allow me to maintain that lifestyle. Tiny living is my backup plan (399 sq ft is enough for me), God bless you though and much love hunny bunny🥰🤗🙏🏾.
As frustrating as it is to have to deal with these problems, it could be so much worse. For instance….Not dealing with them and then being forced to repair and not on your terms! You got this!!! Know we are rooting for you Nomi!
Time to get your Anointing Oil out Sis and pray over/anoint your Home! If you know of a Pastor you trust nearby, get them to pray and anoint your home as well. Keep your positive attitude and Yahweh will do the rest! 🙏🏽💕🛐✝️
If you use the outdoor shower, you'll need a curtain of some kind, you should put thst & the hose in that emptied white l8dded container. I wouldn't donate the container, those stack nicely and you may need it. You might consider a rain poncho in your gear as you can't hold an umbrella while doing set up or unhooking hoses, etc. You could keep it in that spare storage container too!
I’m sure you probably already know this, so it’s no news to you however, I just want to reiterate that no matter where you’re going next especially if it’s in mountain areas it’s always a good idea to make sure your van is in top shape like you’re doing now. The reason I say this is because a mountain area like big bear lake near me you do not get cell phone reception in some places going up the mountain and if something were to happen, you would not be able to use your cell phone to call for help. Like if your van were to break down or something. I think you said you have other ways of calling, I can’t remember, but it’s always a good idea to have a solar or Crank radio or walkie-talkie for survival situation’s, and other ways to communicate or to receive information. Battery operated generators would be a must for me if I was a van traveler so that I would be able to charge my cell phone if my van broke down etc. from a fireman’s daughter safety first. 😊
They really need to find you and give you a new van. Way to many issues. And you are clean and gentle. Really making them look bad. I wouldn't buy that model because of all the issues you have. The shower replacement was shocking too. They should also give you loaner or pay your hotel fees.
Glad to see that all is well again! Trust me, I understand the struggle. Your wanderlust will keep you going. Be safe and keep protecting your privacy.
I’m so happy for you that all is fixed. Love your channel and look forward to your videos. So happy your bathroom is fixed! Oh man, just going through the video and the generator went off. Watching the rest of the video now. **good attitude on the generator. Hopefully, the next trip in to get it checked will be the last! Btw, I tried the Greek yogurt on my chicken tacos, it really was good!! Thanks for the tip!
Nomi, remember that everything in life is temporary and your generator problem is just that.. It will pass. Keep doing what you are doing enjoying life..❤😊😊 . Take care xx
Omg when your generator faulted again I about flipped tf out!!! Back in the 70s, my dad was FOREVER “dealing” with the ONAN generator in our GMC rv. I’m sorry it is giving you so much trouble. I think there is wildlife everywhere that you have to be cautious of. Well better luck with that dang generator. God bless & keep safe, Nomi! ☮️❤️
Safe travels. Yes, life will do what life does. Problems build knowledge and strength. I am so going to start using Greek yogurt in place of sour cream! Great idea!
I appreciate the way you keep it real what two things going on with your van my daughter has been watching you she's thinking about getting a van and doing the life so I appreciate you showing the responsibilities that goes on in the and as always you're in my blessings
I enjoy being in your world as you navigate life. I, too, am an introvert and the older I get, the less tolerant I am of others. It’s my season in life to pull in and find my happy.
I am so impressed with how you take care if your van. And your attitude is so inspiring. So glad you got a new generator. Oh no just saw it went off. Hope it gets fixed.
I absolutely love your channel, I'm glad things worked out for you. I'm a chicken that live anything living off the grid. I love your voice it's so relaxing and calming. What are we cooking today and grocery hauls?
I agree 100% about packaged tortillas; they taste stale and have lots of preservatives in them for shelf life, etc. I lived in Texas for many many years and I always ate fresh tortillas too! When they're made right, they literally taste like hot fluffy pancakes. Mmmmm! With that said, the next best thing to freshly made tortillas is the frozen organic flour tortillas made by La Tortilla Factory at Whole Foods. Warm them in the microwave for 35 seconds and they're very good. A good substitute
Your trials & errors are teaching you along the way. Your honesty about the problems you've had is refreshing. Those people should have primed the generator before you picked it up. I'm learning along with you. You might consider a brake lock to use when you leave your van to go out exploring. It makes the would-be thieves go on to another vehicle that doesn't have one. I like the mellow music you play for us occasionally. Very relaxing.
As long as you can think and are healthy, you can deal with van life and encourage other van lifers thru you experiences on the road. God bless and keep you.
I’ll keep you in my prayers. You have a lovely soul where most of us would focus on the negative points. You knew what could happen in your travels because I remember you saying it. Thank you for not being hard. God Bless
Hey! 5/19/23 I’m just watching this video. How are you. It’s Friday night here in Pearland Texas. Ian just watching you. And relaxing after a week of working. I’m ready for the weekend.😀
Thank you for sacrificing for our greedom. Glad you can go to the VA for medical care. God bless you. Take care, and be safe. Also, thank for sharing your videos. I am travelling with you via your videos.
All of the problems that you have with your RV remind me of all the problems I have with my house. Every time you turn around there's something else new that needs to be fixed or repaired or replaced! You're doing an awesome job! Way to be positive in the face of adversity.
If it was me in your shoes, if you continue to have issues with that garbage generator, I would yank that thing out and replace it with a MUCH cheaper, easier and WAY more reliable portable generator, but that's just me. Portable generators are much better in my opinion! Good luck!
I love your positive attitude regarding your van. Look at like this it’s no different than a house. Everything worth keeping you will always need to fix. Keep in mind, yogurt loses its live bacteria when you place it on heat with the steaks.
Right baby doll there is always going to be something one time or another honey …. And you are awesome that you are sharing your journey and love you for your honestly on life 🙏🏼👍🙏🏼👍
Girl, dont sweat that generator thing. There are many people out there that never had a generator at all. You have a nice comfortable RV...you're doing better that alot of folks.
@D. Miller easy to say when you’re in stix n brix. I can feel her vulnerability and her dread. It’s a pit of your stomach fear. When you think you’ve done everything right and things keep going wrong your mind wants to go down ugly roads. I applaud and admire her courage in facing reality and dealing with it. I hope she’ll always feel free to share her down times with us.
Look, I love her videos...just saying there are many, actually too many, folks that live on the road out of necessity not curiosity, in tents and cars. God please bless them too😊
Nomi. I admire you and your emotional strength. I suffer from so much anxiety and you have been a blessing. Your calmness and acceptance of things that you have no control of is amazing. You truly “let go and let GOD”. I wish you the best always.
Hey Nomi! Dumb Q for you. When the generator was replaced, did the verify the control panel wiring was correctly connected and make sure fuses didn't need to be swapped out? I told a friend of your situation and he asked these Q's. Just a thought. He said if the generator wasn't set correctly with the computer, it could give a default reading and it could cause problems.
I'm VERY impressed 😅 with your patience and positive outlook and the ongoing Trails and obstacles you're facing alongside your Journey around our Great Nation
You know, counterfeit parts are a real problem, and it’s affecting automotive, shipping, the airline industry, you name it, there’s a problem So whoever built your generator could have done so in complete good faith, it may have even passed all the factory testing only to wear out super fast due to bad parts. Happy you were covered by warranty! 👏👏👏
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, I pray that God continues to dispatch Angels of protection around you and your van. Its dope that you are able to live life as you WANT to and not as you HAVE too.
I enjoy your videos SO much....I look forward to "seeing" you!!! Nomi you are a sweet lady with a contagious optimism and faith. God bless you always!!!
I love how you don't fly off the handle when things are not going so good. You're teaching us something, thank you.
Well put. I was thinking the same thing
if you fly off the handle at the first inconvenience (and someone just doing their job) then you need anger management lol
So many people are having issues with Thor RVs built during covid. It is shocking how bad their quality appears to be. You are amazing to keep such a positive attitude.
@@Nomadicintrovert I think the RAM Promaster chassis and engine have at least average reliability, and you are so conscientious with your maintenance, your engine and major vehicle systems should support your travels. I think you were VERY smart to buy that extended warranty.
it seems that everything made during the covid pandemic is of low quality. I'm still trying to keep up with the quality of the food that's being sold.
@@earlinebeaman684Omgosh the food is horrible a total danger I don’t know what they did but it wasn’t good.

I’m glad you’re working the kinks out of your van before you head west. Safety first and foremost. Can’t wait for your next journey! 🎉
Man so sorry that you are having all of these problems with a practically new van! Thank goodness you have the extended warranty.
Hey girl, just a thought, you are deepening your walk with God, that means the adversary is going throw everything at you. Hang in there, stand strong!
they never replaced anything and they know it
I can't believe how many issues you are having with a NEW van! But it's nice to see how you deal with everything in stride and keep walking forward.
I agree. A van only a year old. I'd be back at the dealership.
A lot of newer van builds/camper trailers are cheaply made for profit not longevity sadly
@@Vanjee24 agreed! This applies to alot of what we buy nowadays 😢

Yup
Each state has different lemon laws and procedures to process a claim. It depends on the state in which it was purchased.
Agreed!

I appreciate the way you keep it real what two things going on with your van my daughter has been watching you she's thinking about getting a van and doing the life so I appreciate you showing the responsibilities that goes on in the and as always you're in my blessings
I enjoy being in your world as you navigate life. I, too, am an introvert and the older I get, the less tolerant I am of others. It’s my season in life to pull in and find my happy.
I am so impressed with how you take care if your van. And your attitude is so inspiring. So glad you got a new generator. Oh no just saw it went off. Hope it gets fixed.
Your cooking has inspired us to cook simple, well seasoned meals. I enjoy your travels.
I love your content Nomi! Thanks for sharing your life with us all!❤️
I absolutely love your channel, I'm glad things worked out for you. I'm a chicken that live anything living off the grid. I love your voice it's so relaxing and calming. What are we cooking today and grocery hauls?
must be really frustrating to have so many problems with a brand new van :(
Hang in there Nomi! Girl you got this! 🫶🏽
I agree 100% about packaged tortillas; they taste stale and have lots of preservatives in them for shelf life, etc. I lived in Texas for many many years and I always ate fresh tortillas too! When they're made right, they literally taste like hot fluffy pancakes. Mmmmm!
With that said, the next best thing to freshly made tortillas is the frozen organic flour tortillas made by La Tortilla Factory at Whole Foods. Warm them in the microwave for 35 seconds and they're very good. A good substitute
I'm going to try those tortillas from Whole Foods, thanks for the info!
Yes! I get those at Whole Foods too they are 🔥
I can hear the frustration of the day in your voice. So sorry you had to go through all this.
Your trials & errors are teaching you along the way. Your honesty about the problems you've had is refreshing. Those people should have primed the generator before you picked it up. I'm learning along with you.
You might consider a brake lock to use when you leave your van to go out exploring. It makes the would-be thieves go on to another vehicle that doesn't have one.
I like the mellow music you play for us occasionally. Very relaxing.
As long as you can think and are healthy, you can deal with van life and encourage other van lifers thru you experiences on the road.
God bless and keep you.
The minute you become a homeowner (of any kind) you find the you are fixing and up keeping continuously. You are doing a great job keeping in control.
I’ll keep you in my prayers. You have a lovely soul where most of us would focus on the negative points. You knew what could happen in your travels because I remember you saying it. Thank you for not being hard. God Bless
Love the sound of the rain
You are a STRONG person dealing with all those van issues. I would have given up, and rented an apartment 😂
Hey! 5/19/23 I’m just watching this video. How are you. It’s Friday night here in Pearland Texas. Ian just watching you. And relaxing after a week of working. I’m ready for the weekend.😀
Hi Nomi, thank goodness you had that problem fixed before you hit the road. Have a great day and stay safe. ♥️😊👍🌴🌴🚐🙏🌞
Thank God he saw you through the obstacles of it and he brought you through he is a God to praise
Thank you for sacrificing for our greedom. Glad you can go to the VA for medical care.
God bless you. Take care, and be safe.
Also, thank for sharing your videos. I am travelling with you via your videos.
“First bite goes to you. Now my turn. Mm-hm.” Love when you say ‘Mm-Hm’ after you take a bite. You are so sweet.
All of the problems that you have with your RV remind me of all the problems I have with my house. Every time you turn around there's something else new that needs to be fixed or repaired or replaced! You're doing an awesome job! Way to be positive in the face of adversity.
If it was me in your shoes, if you continue to have issues with that garbage generator, I would yank that thing out and replace it with a MUCH cheaper, easier and WAY more reliable portable generator, but that's just me. Portable generators are much better in my opinion! Good luck!
I love your positive attitude regarding your van. Look at like this it’s no different than a house. Everything worth keeping you will always need to fix.
Keep in mind, yogurt loses its live bacteria when you place it on heat with the steaks.
Stay strong! You do you.
I’m so sorry your going through this just a MINOR SETBACK FOR A MAJOR COMEBACK !!!! Prayers sent up and thank you for sharing!!!
Right baby doll there is always going to be something one time or another honey …. And you are awesome that you are sharing your journey and love you for your honestly on life 🙏🏼👍🙏🏼👍
Girl, dont sweat that generator thing. There are many people out there that never had a generator at all. You have a nice comfortable RV...you're doing better that alot of folks.
@D. Miller easy to say when you’re in stix n brix. I can feel her vulnerability and her dread. It’s a pit of your stomach fear.
When you think you’ve done everything right and things keep going wrong your mind wants to go down ugly roads.
I applaud and admire her courage in facing reality and dealing with it. I hope she’ll always feel free to share her down times with us.
@@sactopyrshep Well said Cathi! 💗💗
Look, I love her videos...just saying there are many, actually too many, folks that live on the road out of necessity not curiosity, in tents and cars. God please bless them too😊
You always seem to keep it upbeat and go with the flow... thanks for showing this.
Nomi. I admire you and your emotional strength. I suffer from so much anxiety and you have been a blessing. Your calmness and acceptance of things that you have no control of is amazing. You truly “let go and let GOD”. I wish you the best always.
So happy your baby is good and back❤
When u smile and I see how happy u are I catch myself smiling. ❤❤❤
Hey Nomi! Dumb Q for you. When the generator was replaced, did the verify the control panel wiring was correctly connected and make sure fuses didn't need to be swapped out? I told a friend of your situation and he asked these Q's. Just a thought. He said if the generator wasn't set correctly with the computer, it could give a default reading and it could cause problems.
All things are working out for your good Nomi.
Love your driving skills🎉🎉
You need to contact the manufacturer of this Van. The should do something about this poor build.
Glad your sitting and eating
Please be careful hiking and make sure you get your bear 🐻 spray and some good boots 🥾. Be mindful and prepared for wildlife & weather conditions.
🙂💜
Keep your head up young lady for life sometimes throws monkey wrenches our way testing our faith.
I'm VERY impressed 😅 with your patience and positive outlook and the ongoing Trails and obstacles you're facing alongside your Journey around our Great Nation
So glad you have AC again! ❤
You know, counterfeit parts are a real problem, and it’s affecting automotive, shipping, the airline industry, you name it, there’s a problem
So whoever built your generator could have done so in complete good faith, it may have even passed all the factory testing only to wear out super fast due to bad parts. Happy you were covered by warranty! 👏👏👏
Nomi! I had to rewind! I heard "Let's get this potty started". Timing is everything! ❤😂❤
😂❤
Prayers to you as you prepare to leave Florida! And may there be no more major problems with your beautiful home.❤🙏🏾
Awesome. Glad you got your RV together.👍🏾💓🎊🎉🎊
I sorry you had all those problems.
Hey Nomi! If you enjoy homemade tortillas, I HIGHLY recommend buying the uncooked Tortilla Land Flour tortillas! Love your videos btw!
Good suggestion. I love them. They are fresh and you can cook as many as you need for that meal and refrigerate the rest for the next meal.
You got this girl! Maybe add some avacado and tomato to your tacos. 😋
Happy to see you back my friend.
Hope you have a blessed day ❤️✌️🙏🙂
they need to give you another van, it seems to be a lemon---you are amazing at keeping your cool
Nomi, I am so happy for you. You are always on top of everything, it's like taking care of a home, you never know what could go wrong. ❤
I prayed that you’ll have no more problems with your Van🙏
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, I pray that God continues to dispatch Angels of protection around you and your van. Its dope that you are able to live life as you WANT to and not as you HAVE too.
God is Good All The Time
I enjoy your videos SO much....I look forward to "seeing" you!!! Nomi you are a sweet lady with a contagious optimism and faith. God bless you always!!!
