Regarding your AC, buy a second filter. That way, you only have to turn off the AC for a few seconds to switch filters. Then you can clean the dirty filter at your own pace and use it the next time, rinse repeat👍
that squeak under the hood, it may be the bearing going dry in the belt tensioner or one of the idler pulley bearings. Those items are not expensive, I would change all three of them to be proactive. Make sure the alternator bearing spins freely and seems ok and the Air conditioning clutch bearing needs to be checked too. Any of these parts can be producing that squeak but replacing the cheaper idlers and tensioner device should be done to keep you out of trouble down the road, they will be a source of probable trouble sooner or later so deal with them now so you can be confident of less potential for breakdown.
Of course they want to sell you on "rebuildable" shocks...but without a doubt, "normal" shocks such as Bilstein, KYB, Rancho, Monroe, etc...will last you CONSIDERABLY longer. I know it's tough trying to figure who's right and who's wrong amongst all this advice you get. The fancy "rebuildable" shocks are nice for plush operation, but that comes with a price...and you're paying it. BTW...your 4th of July attitude and outfit just straight up rock. You're awesome.

@@byronlemay2166 yup, I’ve had Kings and Fox, never again for a daily driver. As the saying goes for 20 years of modding vehicles. Race car parts require race car maintenance.

Sarah, You can cover the panes of glass in your windows with Aluminum Foil (shiny reflective side facing out) and that will help to keep the morning sun from heating up the casita. That way your mini-split won't have to work so hard to cool down the interior of your living space. Which should help you a great deal. If you use the foil to reflect the sunlight the black-out curtains won't heat up and as a result they won't retain heat during the day. Take care. sincerely, Dean O. :-I
@@TobyCostaRica - I was talking about something that is cheap that could be put up right away. If she wanted to do what you're talking about she could buy REFLECTIX. But that would take some time and would also be more expensive then buying a simple roll of aluminum foil and tacking it up on the inside of the windows with a little Scotch tape. She's leaving town soon so it would be more cost and time effective to just put up the Aluminum foil right away. If they don't already have the Aluminum Foil it would cost her about five bucks to do the job right away. :-I
Spent 30 days at ski racing camp near Red Lodge back in the day. Imagine being trained to race by an Olympic champion basically with you all day. Long live the Austrians! Billy Kidd ; kind of a dud.
I accidentally left a candle burning in my bathroom of my motor home. It eventually liquified the whole candle and the glass cracked and alloaed it to run out with the wick still burning on the fiberglass counter and lit the bathroom on fire. Fortunately the neighbor saw the smoke and the fire dept. put it out. I suggest putting the candle in a skillet on the stove just in case. Side benefit is the heat will go out the stove vent so less heat added to the house! Stay cool Wonderhussy, enjoy all your adventures
It won't be long Sarah. You will be on the road, and off to cooler places and new adventures. We are all looking forward to that for you! Safe travels.
@@TheBandit7613 Meh. Close enough for Government Work. My friends and I "go to Death Valley" almost every year, yet we rarely leave the canyons on the Panament side of the ridgeline. There's no substantial difference.
@@MrJest2 We 4 wheel in Death Valley regularly. I was there 2 weeks ago but it was only 105 (the real Death Valley) She lives in Tecopa. The temps go up as the elevation drops. Drives me nuts when people talk about her openness and honesty and really, she's anything but. She's 25 miles from the entrance to Death Valley and 1000+ feet higher.
Good shocks are shocks that don't break down every year. Good shocks are shocks that don't cost $700 to rebuild every year. Good shocks are shocks you can rely on for years on end. Good shocks are shocks that give you great control of your car on any road surface. Drew's Auto of Pahrump has taken great care of me through many repairs of my 28 year old Camper Van. You should have seen it before they got hold of [it]. Soon it will be painted white to reflect the heat.
Sounds like you’ve never tried any of the premium shocks. They all require rebuilding. Fox, King, Icon. High performance parts require high maintenance intervals. No way you can take a $100 shock from autozone and have it do the same thing at the same speed and comfort.
Someday, I'm going to repaint my truck white, too. I don't know why I haven't done it so far. It's friggin' _black_ . Because _that_ makes sense in the desert. 🙄
Great shocks need maintenance too but shouldn’t leak every year! My Fox shocks have been trouble free but with a lot of off roading they need to be rebuilt/serviced every 30-50k depending on use.
A cheap shade sail on the outside rear wall to the short brick retaining wall would help, as well as render the rear wall, paint it white, actually shade sails on all sides of the casita! 😅
Sarah, you are hysterical with your openness. I admire you for that! My question; How the heck can you sleep under that comforter when it's 110 degrees F outside? I'd be cryin for Mama! 😅
It cools off pretty quickly here in the desert - it's not uncommon to drop 40 - 50 degrees overnight. We are just *now* considering removing the blanket _underneath_ the comforter on our bed.
When the temp drops to 68* at night down from 110* we tend to be cold at night. When winter in Hawai'i stopped in for ah visit, we would close the windows and get the blanket out. Chill is Chill. I went on vacation from Hawai'i to Vermont in June and had to wear my Hawai'i winter coat because I was cold during the day.
Wonderhussy...You need sunscreen screens covering on the outside of your windows. They mount outside and attach to the exterior window frame. I have them and they stop the suns rays outside the house. The hardware stores here will build them if you measure for them. Don't get the black ones. I have beige. You wont need them anywhere under the overhang or where the sun cant shine on your windows. With curtains on the inside, the heat is still getting in and being absorbed by the glass and curtain. The sunscreens will stop a lot of the heat and keep it outside. As for the outside wall by the fence maybe you can build a higher privacy fence to block the sun on the side walls of the casita. And if you have a crawl space over your ceilings and under the roof, you need an exhaust fan to circulate and vent the attic heat outside. Mine went out and it makes a huge difference. Good luck. Stay awesome!! Happy Birthday Merica!😎
About the same space as this 36' camper I got recently. It's one br but the couch pulls out into a bed. In a beautiful space in Clarksdale, MS, after 40 years in Cali. It was 98 and totally humid the other day and "felt like 115." Some really exciting and scary thunderstorms with whopping nuclear thunder and lightning and torrential rains. I'm having a ball in my retirement at 72!
Put shade cloth up on the back side of your tiny house hook the other side of the shade cloth to the fence . It will shade that side . Works good on my greenhouse ..😊 thanks for the third video today . I look forward to your videos every wednesday . ❤ your videos ..
I travel with shadecloth, and use it to keep sun off my camper. Can't be without it. Years of living in a similar climate to Death Valley taught me how to survive in extreme heat.
I love your new clawfoot tub! Can't wait to see where you place it on your property. I wonder if you'll get another for your sis, or even a collection of them for hot tub parties! LOL
For the back side of the Casita look for 90% shade cloth/ shade sail, mesh like material with grommets along the edges. Also buy some eye screws they are the screws with a loop top that you can screw to the wood under the eves also you'll need paracord. You can tie the shade cloth to the bottom of the chain link fence. Another thing lookup solar paint/heat paint for roofs. I did the shade cloth on my outer laundry room wall and it really helped alot😊
Lavender, cinnamon, peppermint and cedar are all essential oils said to deter scorpions. These can be diluted with the carrier oil of your choice and sprayed along scorpion problem areas and entry points-such as baseboards, windowsills, doorways, and around the perimeter of your home.
Great film. You should do more meet & greets, you're great at it and you're uncover some interesting people. It adds extra dimensions to your channel. Cheers!
Sandy here: It looks like you are making progress and that is good... also you are learning more about your "home area". The bathtub is a neat addition too, now you need to paint it like those tubs up North... I can't wait to see where you wander next in your "blessed desert". Stay safe and have fun, Sandy
I did a visit to your town just yesterday...I saw 3 people in it. One security guard on a golf cart and two men in a town pickup truck. The place is a ghost town. Pastor Frank is my benefactor and friend here in Pahrump.
You need a small evaporative cooler for your living space. They work wonders in the "dry" desert heat. Much better than window ac or a split Minnie unit. Much more economical too!
What a great episode! Only hoping you can get some cooler weather! Glad you were able to get your shocks rebuilt! Make sure you get your belt tensioner pulley replaced so it doesn’t fail! Take care!
poor girl, I wish you had some better air conditioning and insulation. The more you turn down the temp setting on that marginal air conditioner the less it will cool. The reason is that it is running continuous and the evaporator coil will ice over and block air flow. You need a larger unit that can be set to a reasonable temperature that it will easily meet and cycle on and off so that the evaporator coil can de ice.
I'm happy that Custom Motorsports was able to get you taken care of. I'm looking forward to watching your continuing adventures after you get the belt tensioner replaced. Great job moving that bathtub.
We need a "Hiking Man" annual event to rival "burning man" !!!! Hosted by none other than WonderHussy herself !!!! Just think about all the amazing hiking tales to be told !!!!
Love your Death Valley vlogs! You gave me an idea on what flooring to use for my small, guest bathroom; linoleum squares would be easy to cut and fit in place.💕
Wonderhussy, look up shock socks/sox, is a fabricy cover that makes all the difference to crap getting in the shocks. We used them when we raced grasstrack cars. You’ll burn thru um but they are cheap and would add a bit to your rebuild interval. Get all the pulleys and idlers done as they all have bearings which will be due soon. 👍🇬🇧👍
Suggestion get a Free estimate from Eagle shield quote for your attic It reduces the heat in summer up to 40 degrees & Keep you warm in the winter. Get walls insulated? Buy a more powerful A/C? Have roof vents installed to let heat out? Ceiling fan?
Put up lattice all around the sunny places, white, on 2x2 posts. Small hole lattice. Vinyl. Get an evaporative cooler in there also. Window units are now available. Desert Rat here. Was 124 the day I moved to North Palm Springs. Lived in both deserts 29 years. PS We are in the I E, keep our house at 78 and its fine.
Thank you for waking up for us. And it smells wonderful in here. I used to live in Bullhead, Az. I did all my stuff at night and burrowed all day. Thanks for sharing.
You shouldn’t think twice about rebuilding the shocks, when they give out put the new ones on. Your day to day happiness is worth it!! Rebuild, move on and have fun!
It got up to 95 degrees here in Portland, Oregon. Now at 10 pm, it's 81 degrees. In younger days, my home was in Phoenix. How did I ever survive 118 degree days with 100 degree nights?? Thanks for another fun video dear Wonderhussy!
Many years ago in North Vegas across from Nellis myself and my partner lived in a 30ft 1958 school bus. We block off the windshield and there was a plywood wall behind the driver's seat. I put in a very small swamp cooler in the back window as it was broke anyway. It kept the bus around 72° all summer. Did have a tree close that help a little.
do yourself a favor and never get rebuilder able shocks, just get regular shocks and if goes bad you just get another one and Bilstein shocks is good can't go wrong.
❤. Good morning wonderhussy. It's your friend Ted from Texas. I still enjoy watching your shows and having heard in your life. Thank you and I can't wait for you to get your car fixed and you go out on adventures again. Stay safe
This might sound kinda cheesy, but plant some mulberry trees around the back side of the Casita. They grow fast and in a couple years depending on the size they were when you planted them, they will shade the casita completly. They dont tequire lots of water either. Bonus is the yummy fruit you get frim them. Unless you get a male then it will just flower. Either way you get lots of shade drom a tree that can take the heat.
the temp control on the ac is so it knows when to auto shut off the compressor based on your temp preference. With it being so hot, even if you turn it down to 68 or whatever, it will not actually get any cooler because you are basically maxing out your AC right now. It cannot overcome the size of the room added with the poor insulation and extreme heat outside.
Indeed...when it gets over 100 degrees you're screwed unless you're running an industrial A/C like they do in convenience store chains. Those are big boys. There's nothing she can do about the casita aside from building a shade wall on the west side or building a cover/second roof over the whole thing. I'd bet the house itself has poor attic air circulation...a lot of people don't realize how important that is.
Unless the scorpions get inside your septic tank - not very likely at all - no need to worry about them coming up the shower drain or bathroom sink drain.
Waking up on the east coast with Wonderhussy. . . . . . . . on TH-cam. . . . . . Any-who, this was a delightful show. You turned a hot blistering time in Death Valley into an interesting outing. And at the end of the day, laying on your chariot of solitude, you were content and happy. Life is what you make it, Wonderhussy. It's good to see you smile. . . . .
She had me at "when you work hard, you play harder!" I'm dyin'!!! Fireworks in the distance shot is really beautiful - somewhat lonely, but truly beautiful.
Bless your "Loner Heart" Ms. Wonderhussy.... such a free spirit . So hot out there, but also so beautiful. Hang in there SJ. We all love you and your adventures !
Girl!! You live in a Shed!?!? That thing isn’t insulated like a standard house so that tiny place is basically an easy bake oven!! You should be allowed to live in the home.. especially in this heat!! An evaporative cooler would be a great option too!
Re: cooling; Shade sails hung between the Casita & main house, also on the sunny side of the Casita & fence, put some shade cloth on that chain link fence in the back, misters help too. Be a great place to set up aquaponic or hydroponic garden system, they maintain practically themselves & the sound of water is cooling too. Earthships being built in NW New Mexico are full of ideas about desert dwelling, maybe take a solo adventure out there? Thanks for sharing your random solo adventures, my own have led to some of the best times in my life, adventure on!
Regarding your AC, buy a second filter. That way, you only have to turn off the AC for a few seconds to switch filters. Then you can clean the dirty filter at your own pace and use it the next time, rinse repeat👍

A quick test to make sure it’s just not the belt… spray a little water on the belt. That water will lubricant the belt. It’ll stop squeaking quickly.

Sarah, You can cover the panes of glass in your windows with Aluminum Foil (shiny reflective side facing out) and that will help to keep the morning sun from heating up the casita. That way your mini-split won't have to work so hard to cool down the interior of your living space. Which should help you a great deal. If you use the foil to reflect the sunlight the black-out curtains won't heat up and as a result they won't retain heat during the day. Take care. sincerely, Dean O. :-I

Imo placing a heat shield outside (foam panel) preventing the radiant heat from entering would be more effective.
Stops radiant and conductive heat

Look into getting some shock boots for your shocks. They protect the exposed shafts.
Yes a booth will protect that shaft but the down fall is moisture will build up and create rust. The rust will be a silent killer of the seals also.
Serpentine belts can also make that noise, replace that also.

Put up lattice all around the sunny places, white, on 2x2 posts. Small hole lattice. Vinyl. Get an evaporative cooler in there also. Window units are now available. Desert Rat here. Was 124 the day I moved to North Palm Springs. Lived in both deserts 29 years. PS We are in the I E, keep our house at 78 and its fine.
Thank you for waking up for us. And it smells wonderful in here. I used to live in Bullhead, Az. I did all my stuff at night and burrowed all day. Thanks for sharing.
“~Metal Health~”, camera pans to partial mannequin passenger ~ the comedic timing is brilliant 🌟 … ❤️
You shouldn’t think twice about rebuilding the shocks, when they give out put the new ones on. Your day to day happiness is worth it!! Rebuild, move on and have fun!
I am glad to see you finally got your shocks fixed, meaning you can go out on new adventures, sort of. Keep up the good work and try not to melt.
It got up to 95 degrees here in Portland, Oregon. Now at 10 pm, it's 81 degrees. In younger days, my home was in Phoenix. How did I ever survive 118 degree days with 100 degree nights?? Thanks for another fun video dear Wonderhussy!
Great hanging out and chatting on the 4th. Keep up the great content
THANKS --------------- NOW WUNDER-HOUSSY IS PREGNANT !!
Time to get back on the road Sara !!! Many adventures to see ❤😮😅😊😊
Many years ago in North Vegas across from Nellis myself and my partner lived in a 30ft 1958 school bus. We block off the windshield and there was a plywood wall behind the driver's seat. I put in a very small swamp cooler in the back window as it was broke anyway. It kept the bus around 72° all summer. Did have a tree close that help a little.
Happy for you that you get to go back on the road 🎉 Man I would have loved to go to the Parump 4th of July party and met you! What fun! ❤🇺🇸
Lol 😂 you not gonna melt but I know what you mean it’s been 112 degrees in Arizona
Happy 4th, Wonderhussy!...and I do mean happy! 🎆
Hey @Wonderhussy. Ask your shock guy if they can fit boots on them to keep dirt out.
Bilsteins have them for a reason.
do yourself a favor and never get rebuilder able shocks, just get regular shocks and if goes bad you just get another one and Bilstein shocks is good can't go wrong.
You stole my idea 😅 I been saying I was going to get a claw foot tub to put in my new back yard. We think alike can’t wait to meet up with you again.
belt tensioner is not expensive just replace it.
❤. Good morning wonderhussy. It's your friend Ted from Texas. I still enjoy watching your shows and having heard in your life. Thank you and I can't wait for you to get your car fixed and you go out on adventures again. Stay safe
Hope you can stay cool and sneak out on a trek to cooler places soon
This might sound kinda cheesy, but plant some mulberry trees around the back side of the Casita. They grow fast and in a couple years depending on the size they were when you planted them, they will shade the casita completly. They dont tequire lots of water either. Bonus is the yummy fruit you get frim them. Unless you get a male then it will just flower. Either way you get lots of shade drom a tree that can take the heat.
the temp control on the ac is so it knows when to auto shut off the compressor based on your temp preference. With it being so hot, even if you turn it down to 68 or whatever, it will not actually get any cooler because you are basically maxing out your AC right now. It cannot overcome the size of the room added with the poor insulation and extreme heat outside.
Indeed...when it gets over 100 degrees you're screwed unless you're running an industrial A/C like they do in convenience store chains. Those are big boys. There's nothing she can do about the casita aside from building a shade wall on the west side or building a cover/second roof over the whole thing. I'd bet the house itself has poor attic air circulation...a lot of people don't realize how important that is.
11:40 -- A lot of husbands in my family relate to this statement 😂
Hi Sarah love your sense of humor 😊
I HOPE WHEN I'M 65 THAT I'M IN THAT GOOD OF SHAPE!! Keep it up!
Unless the scorpions get inside your septic tank - not very likely at all - no need to worry about them coming up the shower drain or bathroom sink drain.
A lot of folks drain showers to daylight
The u- trap with water might kerp them out
Nice 👍 seeing you again Sarah wonderhussy never forgotten and never disappoints thanks for sharing your journey appreciate it very much 👍
Waking up on the east coast with Wonderhussy. . . . . . . . on TH-cam. . . . . . Any-who, this was a delightful show. You turned a hot blistering time in Death Valley into an interesting outing. And at the end of the day, laying on your chariot of solitude, you were content and happy. Life is what you make it, Wonderhussy. It's good to see you smile. . . . .
It was great to meet you on the 4th in Pahrump. Thank you for taking the time to visit with use.
Ms. Hussy you are a force of nature! Posting under all conditions!
She had me at "when you work hard, you play harder!" I'm dyin'!!! Fireworks in the distance shot is really beautiful - somewhat lonely, but truly beautiful.
Sarah, I think you'll need another rubber duck now that you have a claw tub. Maybe a few blue marbles too.
great vid, hon....you are the best!
Very clever vlog WH!
I think you ought to set in a couple horse troughs to cool off in the afternoons!!!
I spoke too soon! Hooray!!!!
Scott, the boozer. Ross,the one legged miner. Do all your friends have awesome titles? 😀
‘Your response’ to why you make coffee ☕️in the bathroom is courageous’ 🎉🤣🎸🎶
Any good houses out there for sale
That old saying “If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen” well a little day tripping seems like it was a good idea. Happy 4th😊
Love da Redneck party 💯🤙🏻😎
Bless your "Loner Heart" Ms. Wonderhussy.... such a free spirit . So hot out there, but also so beautiful. Hang in there SJ. We all love you and your adventures !
Girl!! You live in a Shed!?!? That thing isn’t insulated like a standard house so that tiny place is basically an easy bake oven!! You should be allowed to live in the home.. especially in this heat!! An evaporative cooler would be a great option too!
such a humble life! High admiration from this man!
I love what you do❤
Thank-you Wonderhussy ... I love what you did with the place ...you never disappoint! Enjoy that tub!!! --From doubting Thomas!
01:00 Hello Boys I missed you.
Re: cooling; Shade sails hung between the Casita & main house, also on the sunny side of the Casita & fence, put some shade cloth on that chain link fence in the back, misters help too. Be a great place to set up aquaponic or hydroponic garden system, they maintain practically themselves & the sound of water is cooling too. Earthships being built in NW New Mexico are full of ideas about desert dwelling, maybe take a solo adventure out there? Thanks for sharing your random solo adventures, my own have led to some of the best times in my life, adventure on!
😂😂😂😂change the water pump and timing belt mine is recommended for 100k I think 🤔 mine is a 3rd generation Love your videos Thank you
This was so much fun. Thanks Sarah for sharing.
I wonder if a hundred years from now a future Wonderhussy-type adventurer will be exploring your Compound?
