Van Maintenance /get ready for winter/ solo van life

Good morning my friends. I hope you do have a great morning so far. Today I have to do something that I don't really want to do which is to take care a little bit of the van doing a bunch of maintenance which I have to say that I'm not the greatest to think about those things. I don't like doing it. I used to be like way worse when I had my car. I was yeah I was not checking the oil or anything of that nature but you know that's my house so I have to take care of it. I do have to think like every month to check to make sure everything's alright. So I need to do this this morning. It's been raining for the past two weeks now and today it's the only day that we have like a little bit I don't even want to say a little bit of the sun. It's just not raining right now. So I'm gonna go outside check the oil, check washer fluid, you know you know what I'm talking about. Power washer? No it's not that. You know whatever. I need to check that and I need to make sure that the tire has the right air in it. I do have a gauge that will tell me if something if one of the tires get low which is awesome. That's the first van, the first car that have that system and last last year when that light turned on on my dash I was like oh what the heck is that? You know it was like I need to check. I go in the little book that they give you with the van and I was like what's that light? What it's for? So yeah so I do have that light will tell me if one of the tires get low which is awesome but still the guy at the shop told me to maybe once a month or whatever to check if one of the tires start to get low and you know make sure that I have enough air in my tire. So I'm gonna do that today and I do have to go at the shop which is this one like that we have in town which is great because I can stay in the van so the cat doesn't have to go anywhere. We can stay in the van and I do have to do a transmission fluid change. The guy told me to come back at the before the winter start which technically the winter start tomorrow so I'm just right in it you know he told me to come before winter that's what I'm gonna do so I need to go there today get the transmission fluid change so the van will be top shape hopefully and yeah I do have to get better to be honest with you. One time what I did with my car I was like every beginning of the month like the first of the month I was checking all those things you know I was checking the oil and make sure everything was alright and I think I'm gonna start that again because I just put thing like you know like always like oh next week oh when it's gonna be sunny or when it's gonna be warmer and just always some excuse and like you know the weeks go by and yeah I need to check that a little bit further. So I'm gonna go outside and just park in a quiet place right now I'm gonna check that and we're gonna go of the transmission fluid change and after that I do have a couple things to do inside the van I just purchased those quite ugly fabric cover on the seat that I put on one yesterday but I didn't put the other one this is for the cat so she doesn't stretch on my seat so I need to do that today too as well just a bunch of random stuff today so I bring you along with me my hands are cold so everything seems alright I have one tire in the back driver's seat on this side that is a little bit low but nothing major so I might stop putting a little bit of air but I mean it's not the big deal so I'm so I'm gonna go do the transmission fluid change today hopefully they're gonna be able to take me usually yeah it's fine there and yeah like I said the best part is that my cat can stay inside the van because we just rode inside and they do it while we are inside the van so it's perfect so we're gonna do that and work inside the van after that because it's cold outside my friend alright let's do this alright this is all done now good thing to be done with yeah I think another thing I'm gonna start that I was just thinking about it will be to have like maybe a folder and put all my receipt from all the maintenance that I do which I think will be great to just like when I want to know when the last time I did something I'm gonna be able to look at it and also if I end up selling the van I think would be great to just give like the guys gonna buy the van just a big folder say look that's all the maintenance that I've done on the van so I think it's a good proof when you want to sell the van you know I've done all those things so yeah I think I'm gonna start this it's not the first time and I think about it though I need to do it now so yeah that was my little maintenance that I needed to be done with I have to be a little bit better with it to be quite honest with you I try to remind myself this is my house I need to take care of it make sure everything is running properly because you know I don't want to have trouble you know and this place is so great is like the great I think it's called a great Canadian oil change something like this and you can just pop in you don't have to get out of the van so it's great because you know if you travel with the pet you don't have to get out so it was great for that one thing that I have to do inside now is to install those cover seat I installed one yesterday and to be quite honest took me a little while to figure out how to put it properly and I I know I'm not huge fan of it but it's just for the cat mainly because she scratched my seat and I mean they don't look the greatest to be quite honest but I mean they look like quite strong so hopefully it's gonna last me for a little bit because yeah she's still gonna scratch the this one but I prefer changing those once every 42 years or something that you know having the seat really bad in shape is already bad because of the previous owner it was like a construction van so it's got like some stain and some I think cigarette burn too it's got like a hole on the seat so I mean it's quite bad but I'm gonna try to put that on see how that go this one it's gonna go better than the other one all right I wish I could find like something a little bit more cute you know but that's the only thing that the local store had you my problem with it so so it doesn't fit properly you don't stay like wobbling yeah it's not the greatest but we'll see this one was way easier to put it on because the other one I have my cabinet behind so I had hard time to put it on but yeah this one was way easier but still quite bad yeah I guess that will do so yeah that was my little maintenance day like I said you have to do this more often 40 I'm gonna get better at it I'm quite good with my old change that I'm like just wait on time when they you know just I put the sticker and my windows and as soon as I hit the kilometers I just go and get the oil change but the rest I need to improve so alright guys so that was a little video today I hope you enjoy spending the morning with me and I will see you soon guys don't forget to subscribe I love love talking with you in the comment section we are a very small community right now in my channel but I appreciate every single one who comment on my videos and I love to chat with you so leave a comment give me a little thumbs up always like it too and subscribe if you're not already and I will see you in the next video alright guys you
