  • Life is extra expensive these days and I've been really feeling the importance of getting my finances in order. Sooo we're starting by clearing some of my debts so that I can work towards getting the things I really want :) It's a little uncomfortable but its for the best!
    What do you think I should get for my next vehicle????
    Thank you so much for watching!

    The car doesn't define who you are. I watch you for your honest approach. You are you and you pretend to be nothing different. That's why I watch.

    Minivans are the ultimate utilitarian vehicles, lots of space, can tow a trailer, cruises well on the highway, great for camping! IF those back seats come out you could sleep in there with so much extra space...

    You remind me of my wife who passed away six years ago. I subscribed to support you and your channel but I'm trying to avoid watching your videos because the feeling in my chest is like my heart is stretching to make room and I have to tell my heart "no no no.."
    Just know you are amazing.
    You have a beautiful family.
    I flip homes for a living and it's a lot of fun. You are inspiring me to get out my old camping gear and camp alone. Now that I live in Pennsylvania and there are mountains here I have to explore.
    TH-cam probably recommended your channel to me because sometimes I have to Google how to do my job 🙃

    Check the owners manual....there is a security code to get the radio working again and most people write that in the owners manual. The power steering pumps on those things are notorious for leaking and any good repair shop will know about the o ring kit required. Make sure you check the antifreeze situation....any coolant leak needs to be addressed right away

    I know this is an old video, but I just want to say that its not boring. I dont know why other people watch these type of video's but for me, its something different than what I do on a daily basis and I find it interesting, not only because its different but the things you do that interests you, is pretty interesting to me. Its a learning experience for me and the more videos I watch some of the things you're doing, I may one day try like... visiting places and stay overnight in my vehicle, and any of the outdoors stuff because I love the outdoors myself. Keep doing what you do naturally and I bet your subscriber base will continue to grow also! P.S. @truckcampinglife ( 1 year ago) said it best!! I agree with it also! 🇺🇸❤👍🏽

    I have loved your Kia camping videos, just as I have totally enjoyed watching your videos on the RV, too....and so, if the trailer is your future, you have to have a vehicle that makes the trailer (living) option viable, because you can't move that beauty without a truck.... So, as you do some soul searching, I'm glad you found someone who is doing some (Kia) Soul searching of their own, and that it lead them to you... No matter which way you go on your vehicle journey in the future, I'll continue to share the journey through your fun, often informative, very awesome videos! And as far as the Honda goes, usually one can't go wrong there, as they're pretty reliable rides, until you can keep on truckin' in a truck that feels right for you. Bless you, Juli! : ) Joaquin

    Well Julianna while I did not dislike your Kia as you had lots of good times with it for sure - depending on the overall condition of the Honda and what you do with the Honda - you might actually learn to like it even more so..... Suggest taking all the back seats out and store them somewhere as you can in essence somewhat use the Honda Van like a pickup with a really nice topper on it and then there is camping with it too.
    You are doing exactly the correct thing by cutting expenses and keeping debt low or non-existent as it is always best to pay cash for things. The Van being free is perfect and considering it was free - would not hesitate to stick a few $$$ into it such changing the rest of the fluids as well as making sure it is mechanically in good shape. As your brother stated - those Honda motors will almost go forever if they are properly taken care of as well as the transmission and such.
    Not sure how it is in Canada with the Wal-Marts up there but down here they can not only change oil and such but for a few extra $$ ($20 here) they can do an injector clean and change all the filters including the cabin filter. Usually the best deal on tires is thru them so for light service/maintenace - all good.
    The Kia was not why we like your TH-cam Channel as much as it is you keeping things "real" and not fake plus you sure seem to have lots of various adventures going on all the time.
    Take Care: Stay Well & Stay Safe Always! 🙂

    I travel full time in a 03 Caravan. You can do it. I am not a minivan mechanical expert. One thing I have read about the Honda is the timing belt that has a maintenance schedule that needs to be followed. From what I hear they are quite reliable. The timing belt is not a reliability issue, it is like an oil change.

    Juliana, you're so smart to be scaling back on bills and making plans for your long term goals. I hope the van serves you well and I love your new place too! The thing that makes your channel popular is YOU. Your energy, spontaneity, and personality just shine. 🌞 I can't wait to see where all this takes you. God bless!

    Is way more room in the new van. I was always told. Keep the oil clean. So regular oil changes and motor will just keep going. I change mine every 5 thousand kms. Never missed a beat. Look forward to you next video. Cheers 🍻 Greg

    You videos are inspiring ….. I love how you just figure things out and not afraid to get your 🙌 dirty. I’m currently leasing my vehicle and not sure what I want to do when it’s up. I don’t think I want to put all that $ on a new one again. I was thinking of a mini van

    Pun aside, keep this up and you pushing, nice job with going with your gut with design, it’s working… 😊

    Pull the back 2 seats out and you will have plenty of room to set it up for camping. A good steam clean of the motor and maintaining the fluids and that van will last as long as you need.

    What a nice room!! Super good deal. I miss rural Ontario. I think that van may last longer than you think if all the fluids are staying stable after you topped them up. I'm sure all that sitting wasn't the best for all the lines, joints and breaks (rotors). Like your bro said, honda engines are known for their quality.

    Best Arnold voice," I'll be back".......... yes, you need a truck to pull the 5th wheel. Seems like a win getting the Honda for free, unless overheated they are usually VERY good. Your plan?path seems good/appropriate. ... Going forward I would plan on 2 vehicles being necessary as the truck to pull the 5th wheel, will/is NOT economical enough for everyday usage. .... I know this from personal experience ........ Best wishes going forward...........

    • @julbm

      hahah yeah I think you're right! Id really like to have a small van, like the ford transit connect and a truck as well. It's the goal! Thank you for your comment!

    I am enjoying your videos so much … but for a good cleaning tip for carpet and seats if there are really dirty … vacuum very well and take a gallon of hot water, add 1/2 cup to a cup on vinegar and ammonia each and a mess cover sponge … don’t saturate … you will see color and life come back afterwards … that is what professional cleaners use here in our area if that are really bad dirty and also cost much least then renting machines

    Check your power steering pump pulley in the video it look like it was wobbling, the bearings in its bad if it's wobbling. And if there's no fluid in it all the fluid leaked out the front seal where it's wobbling . Go to a junkyard and get you a used power steering pump if you're trying to save money just find a wreck van like yours with low miles and get that one. And your hair looks nice! Great video!

    You're being smart and thinking of your future. First time watching your content. This is everyday stuff but it's good to see good honest and legit videos that we can all relate to. The Odyssey; people buy them for their reliability you will grow to love it.
