Automatic Transmission Repair - While Camped Out!

3 years ago
43

With our automatic transmission not shifting into 1st or 4th gear, we had a tough decision to make. We're on an extended road trip and are a long ways from home and having this kind of car trouble is disastrous, but how do we go about getting it fixed? Do we just take it in, pay the money and wait? We live in our trailer right now, so where do we stay? How do we get around? This looks very expensive! After doing some research and testing we decided to try and fix it ourselves, right here in our campsite...

Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If your into being off-grid and boondocking, or doing dispersed camping whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations and 12v refrigeration. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!
