A Day at Mountain Camp 

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.

Hobbs is living the dream life in his old age.

Great to see Hobbs enjoying his senior years.👍🏻

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.✌️💚

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.

Thanks Brian, I always enjoy your videos. In my eyes you get huge credit for living this lifestyle for so long. Respect.

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.

I love Jared Diamond! "Guns, Germs and Steel" is a mind blowing book!

What a peaceful campsite. Ty for sharing.

What a lovely camp, you have given Hobs a beautiful life .... he is a lucky boy.

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.

Howdy. FYI, that inspecting bug is a menace, it’s a pine beetle and has been destructive for years.

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!

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.

Cooking, washing the Hobbster, Kelly assisting Hobbs to photobomb your Dicor project, book recommendations, creek, trees, bugs - just another lovely Brian video. :)

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. : )

Brian loved the extra long shots of the trees etc with just the natural sounds on this video

Brian, you're a hero to Hobbs. He's very lucky to have you in his senior 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!

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👊

Your videos seem to always improve my mental health. Thank you for that. :)

Bless you for taking such good care of Old Man Hobbs. Everyone dog should have such a good life.

You might’ve been doing some chores but it still looked like a fantastic day of camping!

Brian, when building out my van I used Butyl tape to sandwich, dicor atop that seam, and eternabond atop the dicor bead, look into that product.

Texan here. Ranch style beans are a staple of Texas life! Try mashing them into a Refried Bean style. Sooooo gooood.

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👍🏼👏🏼

👍👍 Thanks Brian and God bless y’all ✌️

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.

Such a blessing that u take Hobbs along for the ride. You will be rewarded many times over....

The torch work on the cabinets looks as good as the cooking going on in there. 😄👍

Lucky Hobbs .🙏❤️

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 pleasure. Thank you. Particularly like how you enjoy the company of wonderful Hobbs.

I loved the waking footage to open this excellently well rounded episode. Such a joy❤

Really really enjoyed this one Brian. You captured the essence of why I love the VanLife. Glad you’re enjoying it so much.

Peace to you too! Nice calm chilled video.

Coolbeans.. Love your videos.

Wow, I love that skillet! 💯

Missing your videos you hope all is well!!!

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 ❤❤❤❤

Brian, thank you for sharing your day, on your life adventures. Always love your video, very beautiful and relaxing.

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 💙

Love your videos, Brian. Hobbs is so cute

Love this video ❤

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

Hobbs I Agree with you in the morning Hope the repairs worked out Rest and Relaxation great camp

🌳🌳🌳🌳

ranch style beans and ro-tel, 2 awesome pantry staples to come out of texas.

Absolutely love that book. Helped shape a lot of how I view the world in general. I would consider a must read for all actually!!

Thanks, Brian. Always enjoyable to "spend a day with you" like this.

I like your dad's choice of books and your choice of living. Thanks again for sharing!

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

Good morning y'all, I'm in Texas now, finally back on the road ! Happy Trails everyone.

Another great spot to enjoy nature. Oh boy, Hobbes sure has the dogs life.

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.

HEY! Good morning Brian , Kelly and Hobbs!

This is an interesting book I read in my Economic history course years ago

Thank you

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.

Wonderful relaxing fun video ❤❤❤❤

Currently fasting and that egg looks so good. lol

Should check for moisture on your floors. I find that water will stick around a long time in that floor insulation they use.

Yes definitely always a calm and relaxing video, thanks Brian👍

Nice day at camp. Would have liked to been your neighbor, but not too close.

I just love listening to all the robins singing their hearts out, sounds beautiful. Beautiful place.

Camping in what seems to be a perfect spot to watch spring welcome summer. Thanks for having me!

Two seconds of Kelly is never enough ! Also some of your guitar virtuoso closing was appreciated IMHO.

That burrito looked tasty

Looking great

Another beautiful camp. Thanks for sharing your lovely morning with us.

Brian, Ted Woodford and your channel are the only videos on RU-vid I eagerly anticipate.

I love how much you love that dog.

Thanks Brian. Always love your campsites.

Good morning

Yo Brotha Brian, I'm kinda shocked that you never tried those Ranch Style Beans before. I was brought up on this. When I seen the can on your vid it INSTANTLY took me back to my childhood. lolol.

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.

The way Hobbs walked in those little shoes had me cracking up 😂 great video love watching the cooking clips 👍🏼

😎✌️

Old dogs are the best!!!

Nice vid!

Lovely…💖

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. ❤

u take great care of Hobbs!

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.

I really enjoyed this video ty for sharing your day with us. Hobbs is such a good boy.

Thank you Brian. What an awesome retirement Hobbs is living. A travelling relaxing forever holiday in beautiful locations. What more could this lovely little geriatric gent possibly need. 🖤💫💖. Awesome job done on your truck Brian, with a little audience of one 😊. Safe travels to Kelly, yourself and little Hobbs.🚚 ⛽ 🛣 . 💌 🙋🏼‍♀️🚐 🌏

Seems like you got it all figured out there, Brian. Cheers, man!

Hobbs with the photo bomb!

Awesome video man.Thank you.

I want a spreader!

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 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.

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.

Good morning. It's a wonderful day to be alive and enjoying the beauty the earth has to offer. Thank you for sharing your slice of the good life. I too am a fan of carbon steel pans; they can do just about everything needed on the stovetop, in the oven and on the campfire.

Love the ranch beans! I put them in my skillet when making fajitas and enchiladas! Love the spicy flavor.

That looks so peaceful.

Thanks for the video

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 👋🐾

A perfect day!

I like my tortillas browned as well👍
