Brian I used to be a mechanic at Penske. We had the same trucks as u hall. After resealing the front of the box if you still find a leak in the same place. Then reseal the outside edge of the box. Sometimes what happens is you get a leak and it will run the length of the box roof rail to the front and drip. It's a very common problem. With the leak between the cab and the box. Those seals wear out. It would be a good idea to check the box mounting bolts. They can loosen overtime causing the box to rock back and forth more leading to more leakes. If they are loose you may need to go to a shop to have them tightened. If you google morgan owners manual and maintenance the torque specifications are listed. Lastly, inspect the box mounting bushings. They wear out too and that can cause the box to shift as well. Morgan recommends those bolts and bushing be inspected once a year.
I've been watching your channel for years. I ordered one of your stickers early on and decided to save it for the day I got my own van. Well, this was the year. Upon opening the envelope I found a hand written note with a drawing of a van along with the sticker. I now have the sticker on my back glass and the personalized note card proudly displayed on the inside! I'm not ready to hit the road quite yet but travel as much as possible.
I did the same, but am travelling the roads of New Zealand. When I'm in a queue I often think of the drivers and passengers behind me, admiring that peace sign on my rear door window! 👍😎🕊 One sticker on my drivers side window. My other sticker is on my front passenger window. 💌🙋🏼♀️🌏
@@lesleyhughes3174 Woah! Don't let the WOF/COF man see those! I had to remove my Ohope Top 10 sticker from the front window. One day I would like to buy one of Brian's peace stickers also.
I'm sure Kelly's mom would have the biggest smile on her face knowing how wonderfully Hobbs is being cared for by you guys. Love his bouncy little stride, makes me chuckle every time. Such a relaxing & pretty video, much appreciated by me.✌️💚
When you were eating Hobbs looks up at you then looks away as if to think Brian is not sharing with this old dog. I really enjoy Hobbs and you two interacting. He is a sweet dog, glad you were able to adopt him and Kelly’s mom would be so happy. Beautiful scenery where you are at, birds chirping and signing👍🏼👏🏼
Cooking, washing the Hobbster, Kelly assisting Hobbs to photobomb your Dicor project, book recommendations, creek, trees, bugs - just another lovely Brian video. :)
Greetings from New Zealand. Thanks again for a beautiful and peaceful video set in nature. Soul food for this worn out kiwifruit packhouse seasonal worker currently doing 12hr shifts! Peace to you also Brian, Kelly and Hobbs.
Another great video! Always love the cooking and eating. That’s what camping is all about for us that can’t go camping that often. God bless love from Colorado.
Brian we have had our share of senior dogs over the years. What may help Hobs navigate the steps is some grip tape..what skateboarders use. This builds up confidence and he will less likely to fall due to fear.
Thank you so much for sharing your life, I've been fortunate enough to follow you from the early days in San Diego, never miss a video. You always bring a smile to my face, many times when I really needed it. Also, I just noticed you passed 100,000 subscribers, congratulations!
Brian, I'm betting your blood pressure is as low as humanly possible because you have such a relaxed life. I live vicariously through you. Ranch Beans, they are awesome. A staple here in Texas. Glad you found them and liked it! Stay Safe brother!
What a gorgeous spot! The trees, the creek, the quiet and the company of course. Hobbs seems younger now than he did when you got him - I think the lifestyle is good for him and that he feels safe and loved. Reading the first few comments, seems you are getting great advice from experts. Awesome
The Ranch Style beans have been in my arsenal of kitchen hacks for years. They are a great foundation for “homemade” 😉 chili beans. Great video Brian. Wassup Hobbs and Kel👊
Hi Brian. Congratulations on 100k subs. I've been subscribed for something like 7 years. I first watched when you switched out of the Dodge to new for you van and headed of to Vegas and Lake Havasu. Thanks for your stories. I was wondering when this day would come! I'm looking forward to the next 7 years.
Awesome concept video. Really liked the "here we are where we started" part. Only thing missing was Hobbes. Guess he was with Kelly that night. Thanks for sharing. And yes, your videos are relaxing!
I love the adorable bond between you and Hobbes. Especially the opening scene with Hobbes on the floor. ❤️❤️❤️ and OMG! I grew up on that exact brand of Ranch Style beans. I moved up north 25 years ago and haven’t seen them since. Thanks for the memories. ❤
I am always amazed at how simple you make your campimg spots are blend of peace, water, trees with shade. Absolutely the best part you always share. Be safe, have fun and enjoy your adventures. Toledo 💙
Thanks Brian for another relaxing video. Before you know it you’ll be off to the sugar beet harvest and or fishing in Alaska. So relax my friend and enjoy your time! Peace be with you.
Brian, you and Kelly are an inspiration and Hobbs is a great addition to your channel. It was wonderful that you chose to care for him. I find your channel to be very relaxing, informative and as I had stated earlier inspiring.
Another great peaceful video. If anyone ever has a real tough leak to seal use 3M 5200. Used this many times in my boating days. This is the product they use when sealing things BELOW the water line of a boat such as depth sounder transducers. Be warned though once you put it on good luck getting it off. Can be done but boy is that work. Ask me how I know this LOL? Can also be used to mount things without screws depending on the pressure. Saw many a small anchor light mounted this way. Would not start with this product do like Brian did and use Dicor.
I have never sees a cutaway that didn't leak after 10 years! I resealed mine a couple of years ago and will probably do it again in a few years. Name brand sealers are the way to go for sure.
Such a beautiful day and nice camp. All the little chores and pleasures of camping. I especially love the bird song in the mornings. Except they wake me up too early! I loved seeing Hobbs' tail wagging at the end of his bath. They always feel so good after! It is a little more work to travel with pups, but they are so worth it. Have a good one!
I really enjoy your videos and you sharing your life. I hope to one day to get a ban to go and camp. I am retiring from the fire department in December so I hope to get one next year. Take care.
Greetings from NH! I think it's pretty funny that you said in videos way back that a dog wouldn't fit into your life but one found you anyway. It's interesting how things work out sometimes. Take care! -Jon
Would like to be there and have a cup of coffee with you, A beautiful place and so relaxing, Also you can cook for ma any time, your meals always look good. Take care
Hobs may not like getting a bath but he seems to love the attention from both of you. I ordered one of those carbon pans. I thought I'd check it out. I enjoy a non-stuck egg too.
Brian, I am actually jealous of you and your lifestyle - not sure what that says about our high stress lives in our crazy world full of crooks, hackers and scammers ! Thank you for our cherished escapes with your videos !
Great time of year... Enjoy these Late spring days ya all. Awesome location, nice water sounds.🤙🤙I spent 3 days in Stanley last week, virtually empty and quiet, was Epic. only 150 miles from my land . Hope to visit more , waitin on my Retirement in 18 months. Safe travels ya all , Be blessed🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you. If there are trees, the hammock goes up. After months in the desert, it's one of the things I look forward to the most when getting back to the forests.
Brian my love. Life has a way of filling time. Looks like you are a good cook. Hobbs completely enjoys being outdoors. You have a wonderful way of life. Until next time. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🇺🇸🕊🌹🌞👍❤️😇🙏🌈
I've become a fan of 3M Window Weld (the stuff they use to hold windshields in place) as a sealer. It's tougher and longer lasting than things like Dicor. One minor drawback is that it's black, so if you want it to blend with the white van you need to paint it.
Great book! Eye opening for sure. Also, thanks for the demonstration of carbon steel pans. Just placed an order for the 10 inch version of the same make. Will keep it in my motorhome. Also great choice of beans. Love them. Could get them in Georgia, but not in Michigan Walmarts. Strangely enough also not carried in Florida Walmarts, but I can get them shipped free.
This is definitely one of my altime favorites Brian. "Mr. Hobbs is quite the gentleman 🤗 Bath/boots & bye bye 😂 Loved a day in your life 🙏❣️Much love to our Adventure Van Trio 😁❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾

Hobbs is living the dream life in his old age.
Great to see Hobbs enjoying his senior years.👍🏻

Thanks Brian, I always enjoy your videos. In my eyes you get huge credit for living this lifestyle for so long. Respect.
Such a blessing that u take Hobbs along for the ride. You will be rewarded many times over....

He is a sweet dog, glad you were able to adopt him and Kelly’s mom would be so happy. Beautiful scenery where you are at, birds chirping and signing👍🏼👏🏼
It makes my heart smile when Hobbs wags his tail like that! He truly is a happy boy and you guys are heroes!❤TN Nana
Bless you for taking such good care of Old Man Hobbs. Everyone dog should have such a good life.
Brian, you're a hero to Hobbs. He's very lucky to have you in his senior years.
What a lovely camp, you have given Hobs a beautiful life .... he is a lucky boy.
Cooking, washing the Hobbster, Kelly assisting Hobbs to photobomb your Dicor project, book recommendations, creek, trees, bugs - just another lovely Brian video. :)
Really really enjoyed this one Brian. You captured the essence of why I love the VanLife. Glad you’re enjoying it so much.
Greetings from New Zealand. Thanks again for a beautiful and peaceful video set in nature. Soul food for this worn out kiwifruit packhouse seasonal worker currently doing 12hr shifts! Peace to you also Brian, Kelly and Hobbs.
Brian loved the extra long shots of the trees etc with just the natural sounds on this video
Another great video! Always love the cooking and eating. That’s what camping is all about for us that can’t go camping that often. God bless love from Colorado.
I love how much you love that dog.
Brian we have had our share of senior dogs over the years. What may help Hobs navigate the steps is some grip tape..what skateboarders use. This builds up confidence and he will less likely to fall due to fear.
Thats what the stuff on the step and bumper is.👍🏼
What a peaceful campsite. Ty for sharing.
Brian, thank you for sharing your day, on your life adventures. Always love your video, very beautiful and relaxing.

Thank you!
Howdy. FYI, that inspecting bug is a menace, it’s a pine beetle and has been destructive for years.
Another pleasure. Thank you. Particularly like how you enjoy the company of wonderful Hobbs.
I love Jared Diamond! "Guns, Germs and Steel" is a mind blowing book!
The way Hobbs walked in those little shoes had me cracking up 😂 great video love watching the cooking clips 👍🏼
Brian, I'm betting your blood pressure is as low as humanly possible because you have such a relaxed life. I live vicariously through you. Ranch Beans, they are awesome. A staple here in Texas. Glad you found them and liked it! Stay Safe brother!
Missing your videos you hope all is well!!!
Camping in what seems to be a perfect spot to watch spring welcome summer. Thanks for having me!
What a gorgeous spot! The trees, the creek, the quiet and the company of course. Hobbs seems younger now than he did when you got him - I think the lifestyle is good for him and that he feels safe and loved. Reading the first few comments, seems you are getting great advice from experts. Awesome
I drove those cutaways for years. Every one of them leaked. We repaired them the exact way you did and got many more years out of them.
Hobbs I Agree with you in the morning Hope the repairs worked out Rest and Relaxation great camp
Your videos seem to always improve my mental health. Thank you for that. :)
The Ranch Style beans have been in my arsenal of kitchen hacks for years. They are a great foundation for “homemade” 😉 chili beans. Great video Brian. Wassup Hobbs and Kel👊
Love your videos, Brian. Hobbs is so cute
I just love listening to all the robins singing their hearts out, sounds beautiful. Beautiful place.

Two seconds of Kelly is never enough ! Also some of your guitar virtuoso closing was appreciated IMHO.
Awesome concept video. Really liked the "here we are where we started" part. Only thing missing was Hobbes. Guess he was with Kelly that night. Thanks for sharing. And yes, your videos are relaxing!
Lucky Hobbs
.🙏❤️
👍👍 Thanks Brian and God bless y’all ✌️

I'm 80 and also grew up eating Ranch Style beans. This brought back many memories. Also grew up spending summers in the mountains of New Mexico.
I am always amazed at how simple you make your campimg spots are blend of peace, water, trees with shade. Absolutely the best part you always share. Be safe, have fun and enjoy your adventures. Toledo 💙
Wow, I love that skillet! 💯
Careful with steel utensils on the new frying 🍳 pan. 👍🏻🥺
Steel on steel. 👍🏼
Peace to you too! Nice calm chilled video.
I like your dad's choice of books and your choice of living.
Thanks again for sharing!
Texan here. Ranch style beans are a staple of Texas life! Try mashing them into a Refried Bean style. Sooooo gooood.
Like Stokes is to Colorado!
Yes definitely always a calm and relaxing video, thanks Brian👍
You might’ve been doing some chores but it still looked like a fantastic day of camping!
Thanks Brian for another relaxing video. Before you know it you’ll be off to the sugar beet harvest and or fishing in Alaska. So relax my friend and enjoy your time! Peace be with you.
Thanks, Brian. Always enjoyable to "spend a day with you" like this.
I loved the waking footage to open this excellently well rounded episode. Such a joy❤
What a beautiful camp that mountain in the backround amazing love your tucking in hobbs he loves you and i can see why your very sweet be safe ❤❤❤❤
I really enjoyed this video ty for sharing your day with us. Hobbs is such a good boy.
Should check for moisture on your floors. I find that water will stick around a long time in that floor insulation they use.
Brian, you and Kelly are an inspiration and Hobbs is a great addition to your channel. It was wonderful that you chose to care for him.
I find your channel to be very relaxing, informative and as I had stated earlier inspiring.
Seems like you got it all figured out there, Brian. Cheers, man!
I just love ur videos i think i actually love to see the camper and i am not hearing away we go too much again but still love you
Another beautiful camp. Thanks for sharing your lovely morning with us.
Another great peaceful video. If anyone ever has a real tough leak to seal use 3M 5200. Used this many times in my boating days.

Would not start with this product do like Brian did and use Dicor.
Another great spot to enjoy nature. Oh boy, Hobbes sure has the dogs life.
Love the ranch beans! I put them in my skillet when making fajitas and enchiladas! Love the spicy flavor.
I have never sees a cutaway that didn't leak after 10 years! I resealed mine a couple of years ago and will probably do it again in a few years. Name brand sealers are the way to go for sure.
Is it best to use a sealant like they use on boats for problems like the leaking that Brian is experiencing?
Such a beautiful day and nice camp. All the little chores and pleasures of camping. I especially love the bird song in the mornings. Except they wake me up too early! I loved seeing Hobbs' tail wagging at the end of his bath. They always feel so good after! It is a little more work to travel with pups, but they are so worth it. Have a good one!
Natures alarm clock!😆
I had to laugh. Hobbs starts the vid all smelly in your van, gets a bath and ends up in Kelly's for the night.
You're a good man Brian. : )
Thank you.
Nice day at camp. Would have liked to been your neighbor, but not too close.
I really enjoy your videos and you sharing your life. I hope to one day to get a ban to go and camp. I am retiring from the fire department in December so I hope to get one next year. Take care.

lol, we're actually looking for a home for him.
Would like to be there and have a cup of coffee with you, A beautiful place and so relaxing, Also you can cook for ma any time, your meals always look good. Take care
ranch style beans and ro-tel, 2 awesome pantry staples to come out of texas.
Love this video ❤

Thanks Brian. Always love your campsites.
It was cool hanging out with ya dude, chill video.
Old dogs are the best!!!
Brian great video you're content is very relaxed and comfortable to watch do you set your hammock up at every camp?
Thank you. If there are trees, the hammock goes up. After months in the desert, it's one of the things I look forward to the most when getting back to the forests.
Hey Brian, you did finish the avocado left in the peel right! They are nummy. Can't let it go to waste.
I'm poor, food never goes to waste!😆
Brian my love. Life has a way of filling time. Looks like you are a good cook. Hobbs completely enjoys being outdoors. You have a wonderful way of life. Until next time. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🇺🇸🕊🌹🌞👍❤️😇🙏🌈
This is an interesting book I read in my Economic history course years ago
Coolbeans.. Love your videos.

Nice video, Brian. Had a little bit of everything. Peace
Brian, Ted Woodford and your channel are the only videos on RUclips I eagerly anticipate.

Thanks. I’ve been wondering for a while about how wide your bed is. I widened mine. Big shoulders is the main reason.

Great one 👍
Beautiful location. Good luck with the truck situation.
Currently fasting and that egg looks so good. lol
Good morning
Good morning y'all, I'm in Texas now, finally back on the road !
Happy Trails everyone.
The torch work on the cabinets looks as good as the cooking going on in there. 😄👍
Thanks for the video
That looks so peaceful.
HEY! Good morning Brian , Kelly and Hobbs!
