Thanks, Kirk. Would be great to see some more photos of it.

Nothing much new to report, had to squirtsome Acf-50 in the mudguard struts, and my oil filter was working loose so i hand tigtened it a half turn. I think im at 600 and some odd miles. Definitly need to drive more. The motorcycles have not been ridden since we got the Morgan.... we shall see!

Over July 4th we took tne car to a friends brothers lavender farm. Lots of kids around. Lots of photos taken. Hot day, bevel box was louder than ever. Car has about 650 miles on it now. This week i rode tne BMW R69s for the first time this summer. Such a shame because it is such a wonderful riding bike.

Kirk, you've got to love the spring loaded fan vents over the stove. Pull the chain and you have a spinning fan and exhaust.
Living in MI back in the '50s and '60s while our dad worked on road construction as a mechanic, we moved around a LOT. We lived in several trailers over the course of my adolescence. I went to 11 different schools before moving to Lake MI in the middle of the 7th grade. I started school in Monroe.
All of our trailers had the kitchen pull chain spring loaded exhaust fans.
One of our trailers was a double decker. There were two full size beds upstairs and a half bath. Downstairs was my bedroom with two twin beds, a full bath, kitchen/dinning room and living room. This was all in an 8' x 48' trailer. We moved to a trailer park on one job and there was a HUGE 10' x 52' double decker there. WOW what a sight that was after living in our little one.
I think you've got a really neat travel trailer and I love the old Beemer.
My old '76 FLH Harley sits when we ride 2-up. My wife doesn't like to ride on it as it's not as comfy as our '09 Road Glide with tunes and a great seat and backrest. So when she's not going to ride, I take out the old '76 and put some miles on it.
Enjoy your get together's with other like minded souls.
Dan

Crossed the 800 mile mark this weekend doing the ton. Stable as a Table! Bevel box howling like a banshee! My dealer says Morgan won't even discuss the noise until the box has 6k miles on it?

And they're hoping by then you'll be out of warranty.  As you say, you've talked with the dealer about the howling, but I would ask them to acknowledge your complaint in writing. If not just once, but on each visit to the dealer get a written service report for your records so you can show later, if needed, a constant complaint from day one. Other than the noise, have fun!
