Van life. Transmission.

Noelle here:

Well.

There’s not much to say.

Transmission rebuild.

One week off trail.

$2275.

Sigh.

And so it goes Noelle. My human gear shifting seems to be slowing down but there is no replacement possibility yet. The ride (life) gets more exciting with each passing day etc.

  It is certainly an exciting ride. I hope you’re feeling okay.

That sucks.

On the other hand, it seems like a good price for a rebuild.

But it still sucks.

Huge bummer!!! You’ll have to get a bunch of day hikes in waiting for the repair and keep in shape for the road ahead. So proud of you both!!

Big Bummer. Stay away from the news and enjoy some books and card games.

I think you got a very good price. We had a motorhome that broke down on the road, and it cost around $5,500. That was almost 10 years ago.

  Oh goodness, that’s expensive! We did just have to look at it as a cost of the adventure!
