    Nice rig. I was looking at a similar one but decided to go with a 1977 Wickes Aquarius that was built in Lethbridge Alberta. The owner did a complete restoration on it so it's like new. Gonna pick it up in a couple weeks and head out for some camping.

    It was awesome, had it for 10 years, guy saw it on here and decided he had to have it. He shipped it all the way back to southern ON. Then I found my “new” airstream b190 in the US. Love it (just got home from a weekend camping 20 mins ago). Enjoy.

    Hey, I used to live in Mtl and I'm from NB so I know all about cold ;) Although its insulated it does not have a winter "package" like some of the new units. The southern part of BC rarely goes below 0, also there are a couple of Prov Parks near by with electricity that are open year round, so that makes winter camping more comfortable. Having said that the latest in the yr that I've used it is the end of Oct. Next outing is Thanks Giving :)

    @kjf63 AMERICANS: 126 liter propane tank is 33gallons. 400km is 250miles. Doing the math that's 250miles for 33 gallons (propane) = 7.5mpg (propane) $100 fill for 250 miles = 40c per mile. May sound expensive but consider that the 40c per mile ALSO covers your hotel bill for the night! People in an RV tend to travel less than 100 miles per day ($40 per day - Rachel Ray!) because they are stopping to explore the nearby towns - at least I would - so not bad at all. Clean truck!

    Howdy, I live right in downtown Vancouver, the ole moho is parked in a rented stall directly across the alley from my condo...pretty lucky find that so close to home for sure. I originally paid $8500. Due to other life-things going on I've only used it twice this summer...three times if you include the two trips to Burnaby to pick up my new hardwood flooring :) My second outing was this w/e past...I always enjoy it. Just installed a "new" water heater. I hope to use it at least once or twice in August and then maybe a two week road trip in Sept. Thanks for looking :)

    Subscribed now, hope you are going to post more of her on Y.T. Great deal. There is a 79' Chev 21' 350 auto, but no mention of miles. Looks great and all original interior, kinda yucky, lol but still, they are asking $2000.00 This is what makes me wonder about the engine, miles and what has been done to it if anything. Just saw it tonight on Used Victoria. Wow with the prices of downtown Van, you are lucky to have the moho just in case :) Have you heard of VanCityVanLife? Chrome Valdez lives in a ford van and is a DJ and is in Vancouver. I am following all kinds of these people to see just what they do to their vans and stuff. Very interesting. I have a Chevy Astro passenger van at the moment that I would like to semi-camperize. I am scratching my head about this old Chevy tho' for $2000.00 would be worth a look. Thanks for getting back to me, yours is in such great shape, you should be proud of what you have done and how well you have kept it. This vid in Manning Park really is lovely and the unit looks great in that spot! Talk again. I do hope you get to use it more often. The perfect weekend warrior machine. :)

    Yes it's cheap, but it "could" be a dream. I know what you mean tho', and I am kinda handy, but not for a complete redo, my body won't allow me to do the things I used to do. I will remember maintenance on house and chasis of course. Without a good undercarriage you don't have much. I would be leery of an engine with large Km's especially if they haven't done anything to it, but 350's are usually pretty tough. I do like the older vehicles, not so much electrical like power this and power that. thanks for the chat.

  • @kjf63

    @kjf63

    10 жыл бұрын

    Widow Son Hey man, I don't have that problem, sounds like your battery(s) might be old and need replacing if they aren't holding a charge or is there something going 24/7 in the RV that is using the juice...or maybe there could be an issue with the battery connections or the monitor itself! I don't trust my panel, I have a battery meter which cost about $20. Keeping your battery(s) charged when you're at home is easy if you live in a house, just keep the RV plugged in or keep a trickle charge on them. I'm assuming that, like me, you don't have a situation where it is easy to keep the RV plugged in. If you have easy battery access you could remove the battery between trips and keep them on a battery charger at home (I keep mine on my balcony all winter), you could also consider a solar solution although I'm doubtful that you could get a decent, useful solar set up without spending a fortune. So there you go, thats all that comes to mind. Good luck :)

    The reason.i chose the mini.wini is I wanted a motorhome that's not a big huge monster that gets 12 Mpg the mini wini has a 350 and if its driven properly there reasonable on fuel when tuned up And maintained properly I hate a huge pig of a moter home that gets horrible fuel mileage and it need a 100 ft drive way to park it not for me it costs money to show off not for me the mini wini ain't huge but very practicable
