- Is Our Morocco Trip In JEOPARDY? (Campervan Problems)
Join us this week as we visit the famous world UNESCO site Ait Benhaddou in Morocco, before tackling some essential van maintenance and realising we have a major LPG disaster. Then our road trip across the atlas mountains comes to a halt with an unexpected emergency stop.

ive already commented but i wanted to just say thank you for respecting teddys privacy while he wasnt feeling well! that was really refreshing to see as most vlogger parents would have used that for content and click bait. THANK YOU!
Thankyou ❤️ we had to make sure he was okay first, that was priority xxx
Hey guys, we’re watching from Germany. Whenever you are around you can camp for free on our ground.
I'm watching from bed😂
haha brilliant, nice and cosy?
So am I
Me too 😂
I was in Morocco during a Ramadan many years ago. I was there when Ramadan ended and it was quite tge celebration.
Clean the wheels up, paint them and then put Swedish Wheels Trims on, I put them on my Lorry, they're the best to keep looking smart & very easy to keep clean...
💯 need a spare wheel as you might have breakdown cover but will be ripped off for the new tyre
True we had a flat today in middle nowhere and luckily we had a spare in campervan expensive if you have to call out always carry a spare
Your LPG has a hole in the Diaphram in the pressure relief valve. I Had it happen on my LPG central heating storage tank. Turn off your isolator tap. Your problem is low air pressure increasing the pressure difference at height. Plastic deteriates with age, and your alternator is overcharging or has a faulty diode in the Alternator over loading the bulb circuit.
Years of experience in hgv and Motorhomes get a spare wheel you will need one till the time you do
Watching from Wales,love your blogs... But safety first Rick check your wheel nuts frequently, and get a spare wheel you can guarantee that a puncture will happen in the middle of nowhere. You don't want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere waiting on help anything could happen god forbid. Take care all regards Phil ❤
LORRY you can get chrome trim,s they would look great on the truck. Loving the vlogs, enjoy your life xx
Watching from west yorkshire love your vlogs hope teddie ok and hubby says paint your wheels and yes anotjer dog would be lovely x
Rub the wheels down and get them resprayed your self. Makin sure you do not take away too much steel from them. May be 180 grit 280 grit upto 400 grit then spray with Wheel spray. Also as to your problem with the rear under body .. if you have looked at DPD delivery vehicles they have a cage system to store their trollies, maybe an idea to get one and modify to suit your needs. Including a spare wheel or two.
Hammerite is favourite on wheels, the brush-on liquid is fine.
LPG is affected by altitude and temperature but I wouldn't have expected it to be such a dramatic difference as you mention. Be interesting to see once you return to sea level.
I a watching from usa you do know we in the US watch you aswell
I know, can't believe there are so many of you!!!
My experience comes from over-landing in a Land Rover, so a lorry is a bit different. Alloy wheels aren’t (usually) as strong as steels, unless you fork out a lot of money. Have a box of glues, tapes and putties, so superglue, two part epoxy, duct tape/ gorilla tape, milliput, sugru and JB weld, these are all very useful for when something plastic decides that the going is too rough. You appear to have enough space for a split tail box and a wheel, but you will loose ground clearance at the back, unless you angle it and then there’s all the ancillary bits you need to change a tyre plus the weight. Carry a tyre repair kit and a pump if nothing else, these can get you out of the sticky brown stuff. You could look at getting a multi fuel stove, for when the main gas is getting low, then use diesel in it, that way you don’t need two fuels. Really enjoy your videos, makes me want to go over landing again.
Hi guys, watching from Queensland, Australia, love your channel.
Hi guys love your videos, much love from sunny Cyprus.
I’m a Yorkshire lad and happily in East Yorkshire, next time your back in Blighty you must come up this way, our east coast is beautiful. Silver wheels will look best in my eyes and I’m sure alloys would be fine for your truck 👌🏻
Sounds great! Where do you recommend? x
Vous êtes une famille formidable 👍
spare wheel if you can spare the weight, you can use a boat winch type of thing to pull the spare wheel up, common on factory fit spare wheels on commercials,
Hi on holiday in New Zealand on cruise ship live in uk watched all you blocks great keep it up thanks say hi to the kids
Thank you! Will do! 😀
What, what, what..... cliffhanger hanger .... have fun 👍💚🌷👀🍀
Heheh sorry!
Move the water tank to the back of the chassis. That's what has put your front axle so close to its limit, that will take some of the weight off the front axle. Then you can put the kids toys and things where the water tank was.
Alloy wheels look good, but a nightmare to get off. They have a tendency to stick to the wheel hubs.
For the spare wheel, how are you planning to jack up the truck ? Doing it without knowing what you are doing can be dangerous. If you are in Europe the breakdown service is generally ok. If you are somewhere very remote you should have something just in case. Just bear in mind a spare wheel, jack... is a lot of extra weight you would be carrying around all of the time and you don't have much payload to begin with.
You should also think to remove the tachograph as you don't need it. As long as it is fitted you need to do the 2 yearly inspection on it regardless of if you use/need it. Can be a big fine if you don't.
I’m British living in Finland and watching from Finland.
Love Finland! Lucky you, although we've only ever been in summer.
7:10 Humm 😏 Hey Ric… at 5:14 I recall you popping Sugar into the tea pot 🤪 Some deliberate spiking me thinks, to get out of having to drink much of the ‘rosemary’ tea 😁
It's my fault, I wanted more sugar 😂😂😂
Always awesome watching you guys ❤ have fun 🔥🌹
Thanks so much
Mama is watching you all from the sofa in Suffolk
Missing the Rugrats big time ❤counting down the days till we see you all again, videos are getting better and better ❤️ Not sure another dog would be best at this time, think long and hard about that one x could you put a rail up in the dog area to hang coats?? I'd probably put a curtain across or a drop down blind x
Love you all ❤
Aww we can't wait to see you too! ❤️ I like the curtain or blind idea! x
Watching your entire Morocco 🇲🇦 travel❤ love from the beautiful sunny Philippines😊

You've left us on a proper cliffhanger. Heart definately says a dog but can understand would impact on the travelling. You could turn it into a mini utility cubboard. Love the videos, love the kids involvement.

I've used a blob of blue tack on the end of a bit of wire to fish a broken bulb out of a headlight.

Long way from that field near Stowmarket! I quite enjoy watching these on a sunday evening. Safe travels, Doug (the icecream man).
Haha a very long way!!! Good to hear you enjoy the videos 😊
@@Touringwiththekids If you end up back at Tom's I have got some local contacts that will help you get those wheels blasted and painted. Tom has my number.
Fit euro liner wheel trim on the wheels....I have a tool to remove them rear wheel nuts.Bought it for my MK7 transit...Gathering dust now
Enjoyed the video. So much fun and educational watching y’all’s travel from place to place.The Moroccan people seem so hospitable.Think I’d enjoy all the tea testing.😉 Watching from the state of Arkansas in the U.S.
We were a little nervous about the tea, but have grown to love the different tea testing ❤️

Somewhere we would really love to go! ❤️
@@Touringwiththekids always welcome! You have free tour guides here!
watching from Texas, USA
Another great watch with great editing. Rick's sharing of a little piece of history from places you visit, is always interesting and welcomed. Had a bit of a belly laugh at the 2 pairs of pants episode, what a hoot lolz. Those are three great wee travelling companions!
Waiting in anticipation to see where you might be heading off to, for a short stay? (Judging by the size of the bags 🤔)
Basically watching from the bottom of the world here in Dunedin, New Zealand 🇳🇿
Glad you enjoyed it! We really enjoy hearing from you every week 🇳🇿😄 The kids definitely make travelling interesting 🤣
Watching from Gwynedd north Wales really enjoying your travels take care you travellers
Epic! We seem to have a few Welsh folk watching, which is lovely 🥰
I love you all. What a great family! I also like Torry. Glad you are enjoying the scenery in Moroccco. I shall be there with a group of biker friends in April. I'm really looking forward to it.
Ah amazing, some good roads for bikes here!!!
I've been watching from Johannesburg South Africa, but am originally from The Republic of Nigeria....cheers!
Oh wow, thats really cool! Thankyou for following along with us 🇿🇦🇳🇬
Watching from Bristol , England 🏴. Loving the video’s. Definitely go for black on your 🛞 wheels. A dog for sure, completes the home 🐶🐾🐾🐾🐾🐶xxx🇬🇧
It would be the nicest thing to have another dog 🐶
Love it I don't have sugar I'm sweet enough lol, Also bulbs it's to do with your driving ric lol
Hanging and shelf storage for the old dog place, stick a curtain across until you make up a decision
East Yorkshire England. Great video as always.
Thankyou for watching 👀☺️
I am watching from a tour of Ireland - I am on the Ards Peninsula, Northern Ireland
Oh wow, is it nice there?
Hi everyone watching I'm watching from Portsmouth uk
Brilliant!!! We're going to be docking there when we get back to the uk 🇬🇧
Watching from the Isle of man 👍
Homeland of Dumfries and Galloway 🏴
Paint your wheels for sure!
Black or silver on the dish side & blue on the dome side. Don't forget the Kurust first.
Aluminium wheels are a *_definite_* no-no on rough roads! Steel wheels flex or occasionally bend (& can be straightened easily), alloy wheels crack or even have chunks fly out.
Watching from the beautiful Bassin d'arcachon in France. Our home for the last 35 years 😊
It does sound beautiful!
Spare Wheel - YES
Refurb existing strong steel wheels - YES
Paint colour for wheels... original look steel silver - YES
And finally, that temporary storage area that is obvious when looking in - DOG :)
Meanwhile - hope you sort out that rather strange LPG situation and continue to enjoy your voyages :)
Edit..... just got to the end of the Vlog..... Airport?
Watching from arbroath in Scotland great videos
Whoop whoop, thanks for watching 🏴
When are you putting the extra windows in the cab for the kids. You mentioned it once when doing the build when the bed was being changed to seats.😊
When we get back to the UK! We couldn't get it done in time before we left, the supplier had a huge delay
Watching from Brugge love your vlogs have fun x
Thanks so much xx
watching from Shenyang, China
Hi Rick nice stainless steel wheel trims would finish the truck off 👍
yes but rough roads knock them off
Hi. Im watching from Devon, England. I thoroughly enjoy watching your vlogs. Life is empty without a dog, so that would be my choice. Can't wait to see what happened following that cliffhanger. Xx
Whaching from Portugal
Definitely a spare wheel and jack.
seconded!
Wheelbrace & torque wrench too, the nuts are _tight_
Another great vlog! Keep the steel wheels, but get a spare, you don't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere waiting for help for god knows how long. I see people are enjoying your content from all around the world looking at the other comments. Keep safe and happy travels, thanks for taking us along. Ross, Scotland.
Thankyou! It's pretty cool to see where everyone is watching from 😊🌎
Lovely video and watching from old South Wales in the UK 🏴
Good old Wales 🏴😊 thanks for watching!
Watching from South Africa
Aww, poor Teddy. He looked so uncomfortable. Hope he is feeling better. Heart says dog, but having travelled with 2, my head says, "Put doors on to hide the boxes" 😂 xx
Much better thankyou! Think it may have been altitude sickness 😔 our heart and heads definitely say different things about getting a dog 🐶
In my understanding of an external lpg tank almost all have a level sensor with a float to measure the liquid content of the tank .this shouldn't change with altitude unlike the pressure gauge on a lpg bottle i would say you have a leak and if you fill it .turn it off at the tank when your not not only will it not be wasted but it wont be a hazard. Get someone to check for leaks or do it yourself with soapy water
It looks like the installer has chosen to ignore the float & install something that's sensitive to atmospheric pressure.
Checking for leaks occasionally is a good idea whether you suspect leaks or not.
Watching ya, from Western Australia.
Watching from Hertfordshire, love your videos.
Hope Teddy is feeling better.
Fit another gas tank on the side so you don't run and also a spare wheel should be a must.
It would be lovely if you were to adopt a dog great companion for the kids.
Stay safe and hope you are still enjoying your journey x
Thankyou, we are guessing it must have been altitude sickness! He was fine afterwards xxx
I am watching from Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
Very cool 🇺🇸
Hi Rick they dont push on they fix under 2 wheel nuts, ive got them on my rv and on my ivco van
south coast england you loverly people
Watching from Texas, USA lo❤your channel
That's awesome, Thank you!
I am watching you from Belguim
I am watching you from Ericeira - Portugal
ohh lovely! 🇵🇹
Bloody hell, definitely carry spare wheels! or even just spare tyres at a pinch, which will save some weight, but wrestling one on to a wheel isn't fun... Don't switch to alloys, a bad pot hole or rock impact can crack them. Steel wheels can be hammered back in to shape in an emergency.
Loving your vids, Morocco is incredible! Glad you are enjoying yourselves 😃
Thankyou so much, appreciate that ❤️
Cork Ireland 🇮🇪 love your family
Thankyou ❤️
Watching from the west coast of Norway.....

Normally watching frim the UK . But today i am watching from Tokyo, Japan while travelling for work (i travel alot)
Ah wow, that's pretty special. Somewhere that's always been on my bucket list (Keira) but Ric needs some convincing
@@Touringwiththekids I've discovered you need to be brave with the food! Taste is amazing but you can easily be put off by what it looks like and how you think about food! It's more of a cultural difference than many of the countries I am fortunate to visit.
Watching from Pembrokeshire, West Wales
Watching (just west) of Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, West Wales
