Thank you so much JoAnne!

RIGHTFULLY PROUD, my dear! Excellent job.

Great job Carolyn. You go girl.

Hey hey! This might be the first time I've said anything to ya. I'm a commercial electrician, that travels for work. 1996 F350, and a 2000, 30' fifth wheel. I feel ya on the the day to day stuff. Makes for some long weeks for sure. Keep it up, I love your content, and yes even your rants. We've all been there. 🥰

Great content and success with the battery change! Love how down to earth you are, Carolyn. Also the fact you don't wear tons of make up and present yourself as an "actor" as some YT creators do. You are doing you; honest, authentic, and badass. Love your empowerment and taking no crap. Haters are jealous and envious of your success. Much love and many blessings. 🙏

I love that feeling when you fix things on your own! Great video ❤️

What a good.video, thanks for showing this one, as I'm getting ready to hit the road for the first time ever in my travel trailer, I had forgotten to check my battery and will make sure mine is new before going on the road. Have a blessed day 🙏

OMG. The same thing happened to me yesterday. I guessing the cold temps. nuke mine also. Thank You for sharing.

I feel your positive charged energy

Wow, Carolyn, amazing that you thought to have the spare battery. What a save.

Very good video Carolyn. You have had some bad luck with the RV, but with your experience and a strong sense of being strong, you overcame the challenges. Great job!😊

Those terminal cleaners are awesome! You go girl! Woman power!

Love how independent you are, if I could do half of what you do, I'd probably already be on the road full time. Thanks for sharing and as always stay safe, safe travels, and God bless love ya Nancy

Job well done 👍 installing that battery. Some auto parts stores also offer installation services. A helpful hint regarding aging vehicle batteries. When performing oil change/ basic maintenance it is a great idea to have battery tested. Also with older batteries ( 4 years or older) it pays just to install a new one.

Things exciting to adults🤣 Great job👍💙🦋💙

Thanks for showing us how to change a battery, Carolyn. It's so great how you show the process.

You are a handy woman to have around. As a housewife and mom I too learned to depend on myself to fix some things.

Loved the HAPPY DANCE!!

Thanks Carolyn, I was wondering why I was no longer subscribed to some channels.... I'm not crazy, thanks for bringing me up to speed on that. Much love lovey

Great job Carolyn you cleaned and connected the battery so well.

My van battery died a couple of weeks ago. My van is a 2014 Promaster and under the floor of the driver's seat. AGM and too heavy for me to even pick up (I am 76 with a torn rotator cuff) . . It turns out the battery was a 2013! So it was the original battery and had lasted 9 or 10 years! Pretty amazing. I was a wimp and had a dealer install it. You are so handy and yes, definitely accomplished! Impressive:) Yeah Carolyn.

Awww Sadie melts my heart. Great job on the battery change! A well earned happy dance of accomplishment.

Good info on this one too! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, I like it when I learn simple repairs that I could do. Recently the starter in my KIA Forte died and called CAA (Canadian like American road side assistance) towed to the dealership. I was so thankful that I had extended warranty when I bought it new in 2015. (Knowing it was the last NEW car I was going to buy and needed it to last 10 to 15 years) All costs were covered by my warranty as well as the shuttle to pick me up and bring me to the dealership. A few other update repairs were applied also covered at no cost to me. I felt like I won the lottery LOL I really appreciate your videos showing us how to do some repairs, fairly easy and with explanations. Thanks!

Just make sure the battery hold down is in place and put a bit of grease on the posts and clamps all around.

I hope you rinsed your hands off before your sweet send off and blew us that kiss. Battery acid can be sneaky , be on you without you seeing it until it starts burning and or eating your skin. So easy to forget , just sharing my forgot once story. Also to keep pets safe, as we constantly pet em. I wear mechanic gloves now. Thank you for your videos and your Happy Dance! ~cj

Smart lady....Caroline....you rock. Please just be safe on the road...with Sadie...

Great job. I just had to replace my battery all by myself. Don't it feel great how we can do it.💪❤️

Great job Carolyn! This was educational... Thank you! 👍😁

Good job Carolyn, I'm proud of you! You may want to get the portable jump starter. I think it's lithium ion. I got mine from Napa Auto for less than $100. It'll even charge/run your laptop/phone in a pinch! It's like an AED for your car. Your battery lasted a long time!❤️

@@carolynlasher8896 awesome! I got my daughter one too because her car would occasionally drain her battery at night. I didn't want her stuck anywhere. It's easy for anyone to use, it tells you what to do. I used mine during the PGE power shutoffs here in California to charge my phone.

This was very helpful. I bet I could even do this now! 😀

Great job.

Had to replace all my batteries two months ago. Nice you can do it yourself, I lack the strength.

Very helpful... never changed my car battery and it needs it so this will help!

Carolyn, a mechanic once told me to keep an eye on mine, plus my house battery for any sign of swelling on the top. A hint that it needs to be changed out apparently.

Love the happy dance!

Thanks for showing how to change a battery. It's not that hard except they are so heavy to lift. I do everything I think I'm capable of doing, don't like getting charged . Hopefully it will encourage others to try. Beautiful spot. Stay safe and healthy. 😊💃

hey you can also use a bottle of pop to clean the wires...........peace

Awesome! I'll bet a lot of Newbie Nomads have never had to change a battery, so that's helpful. I loved the way you kept the cables far apart and the cleaning. A really good video.

Always learn something from you

good tips on battery care, and changing, thanks

Very well done!

Great job done!

Yet again....ms.badass in the house!!

Good video, Carolyn 😊

Thank you. I learned something🤗

Good job (liked the dance) 🤣

The content was great, all of your content is.

Hey Carolyn and Sadie great video and fun doing it look like. Stay safe take care and God bless you and Sadie

Atta girl.

Carolyn ,,your strong 💪..you picked your battery up and out like it was nothing….I learned something , ,those round terminal pads that prevent corrosion 👌 and baking soda.👍..Thank You for making me smarter 🧠..When you did start your engine it definitely a 8 cylinder..powerful

Neat. Im going to check my car to see if I could change my battery. Well done

Nice to do these things yourself lov that

You rock Lady!

I changed both of my batteries on my RV. Easy.

Great job. It looked almost doable for me. Keep on keeping on.

This was very helpful thanks for the video

Great information!

You go! You did that.

Great job I have a lot of experience in dead batteries. Seems if I look at one it goes dead...lol Great dance...lol. Suzanne

⭐️ nice, you take care 🙂 stay safe

A girl can do...yes she can...! 😃...thanks again...have a good day!

Proud of you girl..soooooo proud..ty..xoxo 🥰👍✌🤟🖐🤪

Also helps to wash off the battery when you wash the rig itself, It keeps the battery clean and makes it live longer. I put spray grease on the terminals to keep corrosion off too. Like Zep 2000.

I had to replace my tow car battery. Called O'Reilly's in Parker to make sure they had it. I got it and Wayne installed for me.

Good job.

Blessed travel's always

Girl power

Great job , never hurts to clean the post. The post are lead and can get a hard layer on the outside due to exposure to air. Only takes a minute. I didn't do the post and was stranded.

I like your little dance 🎉

Awesomeness 👌 👏

Yay good for you!

I use a battery charger on mine throughout the year.

Enjoy

Bravo. 👏 Love and blessings from Israel 💙🇮🇱🙏

Happy dance! I admire your abilities SO much! My brother had to purchase and install my new battery. I’m not even sure where the battery is located! 😂

Awesome!

Easy peasy, however, in order to change the battery on my car (which is an engineering nightmare) you have to take off the front driver's side tire. So, when mine went dead this week, I had someone younger and stronger than me do it for me. If it's going to go wrong, it will happen in winter. Good for you doing it yourself!

I needed a jump start yesterday myself after three days of single digit temperatures without my starting it.

Great job love video very helpful 🙏❤️🙏🤠🐨🦎🦘♻️⭐🧡

I wish there was an instrument gage in the dashboard that would give us a heads-up before it dies.

Go girl!

Excellent thx alot

I’m having trouble too. I blew two tires in the desert after driving 10 hours straight. Guess I’m spending tonight at the gas station. Quartzite or bust!

That's great l don't know if l could do that myself

But I was back in school, we had a teacher who I live up in Alaska, at some point in his he was one of our teachers.and he would put a electric light bulb on his battery underneath the hood of his Volkswagen to keep the battery warm. Maybe you can try something like that.

One thing that might be helpful to have in case u need it is a jay be 150 jumper pack it will jump start your engine battery they have them on Amazon it's and easy to carry around I've seen videos on KZread about it it does work a second one would be worth getting to as a backup if u decide to get one I know though Amazon prime if u buy to there 250 bucks one is 150

Coke cola will clean the terminals real east and quick

There's a spray called "NoCo". When you put a new battery in, put the felt rings, cleaned cable clamps on, tighten and then use the spray. Less corrosion will happen.

Yayyyyy👍

I've experienced this on a trip the middle of nowhere so I learned to have battery jumper cables that are good ones and I have a battery jumper pack and carrying two extra batterie down by the house batter compartment then if I'm parked at a K-O-a camping I have a battery charger unit and I can use a slow trickle charger put on battery overnight way I'm at K-O-a camp now if I'm in the middle of nowhere and there's no power station to plug into I use my solar panel to plug into and I used the battery charger unit I have or my slow trickle charger to use to charge my battery

I recommend Rural King for the best price on batteries, if there's one nearby.

GOOD JOB. LOL SOMEBODY GOTTA DO IT WHY NOT ME

Batteries usually die at the most inconvenient time
