Simply put, you have one of the cleanest, reality based channels in the van life genre. I really enjoy, and seldom if ever miss one of your videos. Thank you for all of your hard work and video editing experience. Your Mom & Dad must be really nice folks.
I’ve watched every one of your videos and I have followed you for years. I looove your content. You do more for people than provide content about van life. You help people mentally and emotionally to get through life. I don’t even camp anymore and I love your videos for a lot more than camping. God bless you
Yup, I have been with you from the start Dude. I will be down south in January, i sure hope to meet you. Thanks for sharing your life. I was a carpenter by trade in my early days. i have since converted my tool trailer into a tiny house 6x10. So I to live in 60 square feet. Thanks again. Betty Bears nomadic travels
Watching this entertaining video in my new 419 Sprinter van. You were one of my inspirations. Thanks for sharing your van life over many years. You have helped me escape some tough times. Peace from Aus.
Hey I just wanted to share this recipe with you for your Crock-Pot. One block of cream cheese completely thawed in the Crock-Pot one can of cream of chicken soup whisk into the cream cheese adding water or broth as needed one packet dry Italian salad dressing, such as Good seasons but I've used the Walmart brand and it's fine. It tends to be salty so maybe don't put the whole packet in I usually do about a half a packet whisk it all in add two to three chicken breasts and slow cook for six to eight hours or on high for 3 hours and this makes great sauce for over rice or noodles or potatoes. Absolutely delicious and easy peasy meal.
Thank you for sharing the footage of the mountains around Santa Fe. Our daughter lived there for awhile and loved it and we will visit sometime after I retire in 2023.
You have the box truck looking GR8T Brian!👍 Safe travels to you and Kelly! 🙏 Keep on living your best life & Enjoying nature! 😃 You have many more miles & many more smiles ahead of you! Stay blessed!✌
I am by no means a tire expert, but from my experiences, General is a Very good tire company, and a Very good tire. Great purchase Brian, and I am loving the new headlights as well..wishing you and Kelly continued safe travels my friend!!! 🚚
Best channel on UA-cam i really admire your Videos and your channel. Nothing over pumped nice and simple. I really don't know why do you not have more Subscribers than this because you definitely deserve it. Keep up to great Videos and stay safe Brian. Peace ✌🏻️
I finally made it to retirement, got me a 2004 Coachman Concord 235. After Christmas I'll finally be heading west to join a caravan to learn the ropes!! Would love to meet you and Kelly sometime. Safe travels :)
That road looks pretty hard packed no problem there right... but look at the depth of those ruts can't be if it rains a lot. If rain is in the forecast I would get closer to a main road.
Been with you since you were city dwelling in San Diego. Letting us all in on your journey is really appreciated! I'm 5 years in living on the road hopefully many more to go 🤞I'll be in the Havasu-Parker area in a couple weeks I'll try and make it to the meet up. Peace Brother ✌
Running Grabber ATX on VW baywindow westfalia..You made a good choice..I wish LED.headlights were outlawed to many blinding incidents taking place .Halogen are bright enough. I stopped driving at night due to undue harsh headlights.
I'm a vanlifer too been running the grabber atx for about 1 year your going to love them great road handing and good grip off road great traction in winter low road noise good choice get the spare too because theyre tall love your show keep up the good work
Like always Excellent Content ! I was using 245/75/16 on my Ford Econoline Van E350 and changed to 265/75/16 everything changes for better Ride and not a single issues. Cheers from Fort Lauderdale Florida.
I could hear the song "Hearts and Bones" by Paul Simon when you were showing Santa Fe: ". . . Free to wander wherever they choose, Are traveling together In the Sangre de Christo, The Blood of Christ Mountains of New Mexico" . . . Even your "driving" music in the last video reminded me of it. (Ignore that it's a break-up song). 😁
I'm really liking the 2 videos a week and the mechanics working on your vehicle. Being a girl it's helpful to see these things. Thanks! I've been watching you for as long as I can remember.
That is a beautiful area Brian. Really enjoy following your journey's. I don't know why but I am always so happy when you and Kelly are able to get recqainted and spend time together.
@@AdventureVanMan There is a date stamped on every tire, if they are over 6 years old, no reputable garage will install them, something to remember if your shopping Craigslist or Facebook Market place for tires, which I often do, cause there are great deals to be had out there, just don't get burnt, always check the date on them, and that goes for new ones also..If you get new tires that are a year or two old, you can frequently get a better deal negotiating, they already know most people won't check, but the official "life" of any tire ends at 6 years...
Pretty views of the mtns. Yep, certain tires are hard to come by here as well. Oil and other things get bought up pretty much after they hit the shelves. It’s kinda crazy. Great to see Kelly is back. Yawl have a great time! Safe travels too!
You'll love your All -Terrain tires. I had Centennial street tires on my Toyota Tacoma and switched to BF Goodrich AT KO2s and love them . Better braking was the first thing I noticed, no road noise and less worries going off road . Glad you stuck with a good brand name
Looking good Brian! I literally just put those in my bus a few months ago, the exact same ones. They are super bright, waaaaay brighter than my old ones, was super stoked and now i dont mind driving at night as much on the short rainy days here in the PNW. Cheers, fun safe travels to you!
Outstanding Brian. Got to love those headlamps safer for night travel. I have a bar LED light on my motorhome. Now I try to avoid night driving because of the amount of wildlife on the roads, but on the occasion when we have had to drive LED is the way to go.🙏❤️
Awesome to see in the end Kelly got there. Tell her Hi. Gosh I do like the head lights and glad you were able to get the tires. What an awesome place to get in some walking exercise. Nice seeing the snow on the mountains. Thanks as enjoyed and have a great week. Hugs to you both.
Yep, I think it has been about 5 years I have been watching you. You see in the winter of 2015 I cut a finger off, middle finger on my left hand. Not going to tell you how I did it. But I was laid up for a while with my left hand in a splint. Yep cut the middle finger and broke the two on each side of it. So I got in the habit of watching Boondocking videos. I found You, Ausia, Campervan Kevin, and Eric of Nomatic Fanatic .. I have been watching all 4 of you since . I really enjoy watching. Then I discovered Lidia of SimplyRVing, and the Family on Less Junk More Journey. Now I buy 2 lottery tickets per week and dream of Boondocking in the winters, then returning to my 150 year old family home in the U.P. of Michigan. My dream Boondocking vehicle is a Dually Quad Cap one ton long bed Ram with a Arctic Fox 1150 Camper. That would be perfect for boondocking. Oh I got it all figured out. So when I get sad and depressed about the conditions of our country I think about one day doing what you all are doing.. Wouldn't that be a hoot if I could actually do it the way I want... Now say ..."Oh Yea".. ~Deb
You might want to get another one of those Grabber AT's for a spare, if you didn't already, they are great tires, but if you get a flat that can't be repaired, you'll need something similar, or it will wear the others out before their time, they are pricey, which cuts both ways..Nice spot, I'm jealous being in the snowy mountains..And the journey continues....
I've been around that area you're in here. Those Junipers can be like a maze trying to find your way around. Nice that there is some moisture coming. They need a little snow pack there-bouts.
Bonjour Brian see you .Buses by the Bribge .Lake Havasu AZ. Going to be around mid January .Hopefully will see you then. Keep us posted 📫. And Bonjour to Kelly.
With those larger tires and totally different headlight set up I would recommend you find a shop and have the light aimed properly. The biggest complaint about lights blinding drivers is caused by poor aim. Love the video's where you are working on the van. Stay safe.
I have a 2009 Express. I wanted to upgrade to the composite headlights hoping for a brighter and more aero front end. I upgraded to LED sealed beams and no longer want to change them. They are amazingly bright, but designed not to blind on coming drivers.
Thanks Brian, really enjoying the regular updates even though it may be a little demanding of you. Cheers from Coffs Harbour, down under, we love your stuff as we continue to follow your journey
I recommend Craggy Wash just north of Lake Havasu, AZ. My dad and I have stayed there a couple times! I drive over from Albuquerque to meet him there. It’s a beautiful area!
Easy preview, we have to have the fender removed in the ram truck to change the head lights. Love your channel good info no dram. We want to go to new Mexico in the spring before we head back to Spokane,
I did enjoy the video (as always) 👍 Loving the new tires and lights! Beautiful area, I'd love to wake up there every morning for a few weeks and explore on the mtn or gravel bike (or a good dual sport motorcycle too). I've been watching for a couple years myself, time flies, lol 😆 Happy Monday, my friend 😊 ✌
Yeay kellys back ..dont get me wrong mr brians ..its been fun ..but ya know ...kelly .. 😂😁 anywhos great tyers n lights ..pip pips and carryon pilgrims

I watch this one & less junk more journey & Dave's RV life .

That was interesting, that looks like a peaceful spot. The new tires and lights look great.
.... had Generals on my beautiful stretchcab, when I lived in Texas the first time, in the 80's.
love those lights too . Any plans to install rear lights ?
I've been following your channel since the dodge van. Enjoying ever bit of it. Be safe.
General A/T have a good reputation. Nice plug and play head lights. Enjoyed the everyday at camp.
Ive enjoyed your channel Brian, its clean and no drama like some. New tires and headlights look good. Ive been watching at least 4 years.
I have been following you for at least five years, you always have good and simple content and you keep it real 😎👍
Van life ain't all about running down the road. Glad to see real "reality" content.
Meetup in AZ in January? Count us in.
Once again you found a stellar spot.
Thank you for sharing the footage of the mountains around Santa Fe. Our daughter lived there for awhile and loved it and we will visit sometime after I retire in 2023.
Great Look on the Box Van headlights and tires ❤️❤️ Glad you're reunited with Kelly ✌️
Glad Kelly is back 💕

Great mountain views glad to see Kelly made it back safely. Next time let us see her smiling face.......... ty for sharing
Killing it with those consistent uploads! Also love the info on the heads lights I had no idea a 2010 would have them.
The tires and headlights will make a difference I bet. Especially as much dirt road driving as you do. Really good video and info too. Thanks!

Howdy neighbor, digging your new mega van project.
Glad to see you two vans that means Kelly back yeah
That road looks pretty hard packed no problem there right... but look at the depth of those ruts can't be if it rains a lot. If rain is in the forecast I would get closer to a main road.
Stay out of the ruts fo sure! 👍🏼✌🏼
Hi Brian!
Glad you got some miles out of those original tires. The new tires and led lights look light a worthy upgrade. 👍 Peace to you and Kelly. ✌️
Always look forward to watching your new adventures.
I am glad Kelly is with you! Cheers!
Glad see you two are back Camping together.
Like that camping stop welcoming back Kelly miss you you two be safe God bless
Howzit from Hawaii! Another beautiful day in paradise. Only positive vibes here!

Nice video. Happy travel
New shoes and lights, got to love it. As always Brian, great video.

I’ve been watching since your “stuck in the mud” video about 5 years ago. Good to see you doing so well!
I've been following your videos since you left us in San Diego. I appreciate what you do and would like to do myself. Thanks brian!
Running Grabber ATX on VW baywindow westfalia..You made a good choice..I wish LED.headlights were outlawed to many blinding incidents taking place .Halogen are bright enough. I stopped driving at night due to undue harsh headlights.
Good to see you folks back together!
Wow - taht scenery - how awesome!
Some nice looking improvements to the van. When you are able to, please show us what your new lights look like at night.

The old tires had lots of tread left.
I did the same when I purchased a used RV but those tires where 7 years old with only 23k miles.
Yep, mine were at the 7 year mark to.
