“Should we do an oil change before we fire it up?” “Nah!”

Just a friendly FYI, you should avoid using hybrids for jump starting. The DC-DC converters that take over the function of the alternator for the 12v system aren't designed to handle it and can be damaged from the high current surges. Not cheap to fix/replace either as they're usually part of the inverter. If you absolutely have to use it for jump starting in an emergency, never crank the dead vehicle with the jump leads connected, let it charge for a while and then disconnect the leads before cranking. That will avoid the surges and potential damage. I also noticed the charging system on the motorhome didn't seem to be charging the batteries when you got it going either (voltage didn't rise) - one to watch out for!

Always fun and always satisfying when you do something like this and get an old girl started.

She's an 8.3 or 6ct and this one has a p pump on it that's mint

I found a 95 Safari 35' DP with 90000 mils on a 275hp turbo Cummins for $9000 put $6000 into her tires /solar/ inverter/wifi/remodel and have a sweet motor home now that in 95 sold for $268000 dollars they depreciate faster than icecream!

Now all she needs is a good service and she'll be back on the road. Filters, tires, hoses, check the air system, etc. Put some biocide in the tank in case there is anything growing in there, and she'll be back on adventures. That main cranked over pretty easily. I don't know much about that specific model of cummins but it didn't look like you had to bleed the injectors or anything. Hoping you checked the oil before cranking it up. (you probably did). I will say that it's been my limited experience that it seems to be easier to get diesels going than it is to get gasoline engines going. That could be due to the new ethanol ruined fuel but it seems like it was always that way even back in the 80's when i'd help my dad and older brothers work on older stuff. (interesting also including an old Southwind RV but it had a Dodge 440 in it). Anyways nice work.

what a great feeling when you can say it's alive

Amazing job! Can’t believe just batteries was all that was needed. Just replace the chewed fuel line and add a half tank of gas and I’ll bet that generator will fire too. Keep us posted.

I followed behind one of these on a Turn pike one night. It was going just shy of 90 mph, my only thought was how this guy not zigging and zagging. It eventually left me behind I have no idea how fast it was going at that point.

I love seeing this 😀

I wish I had that motorhome, I would never be homeless again. I had a 26ft jayco trailer but because I could not get someone to tow it I had to leave it. I lived 2 years in that camper and I loved it.

The diesel pusher bug just bit me again. My friends just got a motorhome, but I don't know if it's a diesel. It pulls their horse trailer around to rodeos. I want my parents to sell our 06 Keystone Challenger camper and get a motorhome, even if it's just on the Ford E-350 chassis. That is one of my favorite van chassis, but different strokes for different folks. Those V10 Tritans guzzle fuel as fast as Toby Keith guzzles beer, though. The one disadvantage of a motorhome is that you would have to drive the hole thing into town if you forgot milk or something, but I've heard you can haul a car with those things.

Diesels look like they can handle sitting for a long time a whole lot better than gas engines.

Older gas engines that did not have the garbage ethanol blended gas in them could sit for a very long time as long as the air filter was kept in place and not left with an open carb or throttle body sitting in the open air for rain and dust to get down into. It's the dipwads that go around to the junk yards pulling the air intakes off the throttle bodies that allow moisture rain and dust to get into the intake tract.

@roadkill5333

Any vehicle can sit unused for long periods of time, as long as they are prepared for it. The diesel is actually an oil, where gasoline is a solvent. So, diesels will sit for longer than a gas engine, if not prepared! Today's gasolines are only good for about 30 days, before they start to become a problem. One used to be able to store plain gas for long periods, in gas cans or better, without it going bad! But, Government you know!! Gas has to be non flammable, non poisonous, non toxic to the environement, able to be mixed with breakfast cereal, give 900 miles to the gallon, cost $0.04 per gallon, make mothers smile, make young girls blush, make cars go fast, and make tree huggers love each other!! It's just another way for the government to force us to need them! Change the oil. Fill the fuel tank. Remove the battery! Park it somewhere clean, dry, and out of the environment, and you can store it for a long period. Before driving it again, drain the tank and refill with clean fresh fuel. Change the oil. Ask permission from the government, and it should start right up!

@broomsterm Leave a Tesla *discharged* in your garage during a 2 week vacation and you'll come home to rather large bill to buy a new battery pack. Li ion batteries self eat their capacity, but slowly when charged, quickly when discharged, even if not being cycled. Keeping them on a charger unused for years keeps them topped up, but they will have reduced range the longer they are in that state. Ideal storage charge for Li Ion batteries is somewhere between 50-70% of full charge, but that's near impossible to maintain for long periods because of slow self-discharge (different from self-eating of their capacity).

I would love to find a project just like this one!

For next time if there is one, if you plug in the shore cable it will give the batteries a slow trickle charge, at least my 79 Winnebago does and that thing is a lot newer, lol

High idle would be like any other, set using the cruise control system. That said, some vehicles might have a fixed-high idle switch that brings it up to a builder-set, non-user-adjustable high idle. That also said, some builders may have adopted a "why have it idle" attitude, knowing that it was supposed to have the 3cyl genset for doing the providing of power and charging of batteries.

So what happened to it after moving it out of there? Did you score an awesome cummins RV for free? Or were you just moving it for the owner?

Find a stick on the ground and stick it against the diesel pedal for a faster idle. Works every time.

When you turn the key on for a few seconds it will do a pre prime the system if you get that wining sound. If so thats the fuel pump, turn it on for 10 sec and off 20 sec and do that a few times before you turn over the starter.

Actually, this is a great tip for anything with an electric fuel pump. If it's been sitting a while, click it over to run for a few seconds, back to off, repeat 4 or 5 times. It will build up fuel pressure and if the battery is marginal, you have a much better chance of a start.
