yeah honestly I am looking at an rv that is about a decade older than that one, they are asking the same process but honestly with as much work as it needs I am going to try to get it for 300, I mean just in paperwork alone, it does not have a title, so basically I am going to have to get a vermont registration, and then use that to get a title in my state, so just in that alone I am going to spend at least 350 close to 400 just to get it titled, it also does not have keys but considering its age I could get a key made for super cheap, it also does not run but from what it looks like it should not be super hard to get running as from the looks of it the problems are not the engine itself but pumps and such but it will still be a bit of work, plus the inside is very not good so I will have to pay in total about 2k minimum to get it go decent condition but it will probably be worth it

Looks like you could fix it up and make it livable. FIX THE ROOF!!! Get on top and do a quick inspection. Tarp it if necessary!!! Next, empty all your water storage. Black, grey, and fresh. If that stuff freezes up, it breaks stuff. Find your control panel, open cabinets until you find it. This will give you battery voltage, maybe some circuit breakers, levels for fresh water, grey water, black water, and propane level. See if the gennie runs....make sure you have at least a half-tank of fuel or it won't start. Look for manuals it all drawers and cupboards....quite helpful! And....KZread is your friend!

That's a damn good deal if the engine runs well. All 6 tires will be about 200$ each. The interior doesn't look like it needs to much work minus the water damage. Great find!

Yep. Had a friend who had one back in the '80's. We took it on a 2,000 mile trip around the US and had a great time. It was very reliable. Of course, that was 30 years ago. You might run into a number of issues with one that old. Remains to be seen how reliable this one is after all these years.

How often did you and your friend pull over to get gas for the 454 gulp engine on that long trip, lol

When I was in Real Estate school, they said to look for rust under metal railings, metal handles. Basically, because the stuff is boiled, and corrosive, rust happens in unusual places. Sounds like an exhaust leake over a valve tap...but, I'm not live. You ALWAYS impress me...YOU HAVE ACCESSIBLE COMMON SENSE!! The engine, trans, and generator is worth more than you paid for it. Love shack...hehehe.

Put a tarp over the Motorhome immediately. Fix it permanently as you have time...It should be a fun project....MUCH BETTER than a new one for the money.....think of the price per pound...

I look forward to seeing it repaired and updated, cool project.

I redid an old motorhome once and the best idea is to replace the carpet with wooden flooring..wash everything, and take care of the ceiling leaks! You got a great deal! I know how to upholster and so I reupholstered the sofa's chairs seats etc, in mine. It looked brand new when I was finished! Any questions ask me! :)

My goodness, that RV is huge. What a great find! I am so exited to see what you are going to do with it. It must have been one very luxurious RV back in the days. I am sure she will shine again :-)

That was my favorite show ever. That looks like the exact camper they used in that show . I think you got a killer deal. Drove it home in the snow first time driving it too. You are a trooper. I could work with it no doubt. It will be nice when you’re done. Later

Looking at buying a used class A myself and have watched more than one KZread video on doing these kinds of repairs, like resealing a roof.

I'm a semi truck driver and I like driving big stuff. Cool score. Hope you get it fixed up good. Right off the bat I would suggest headers for your exhaust system. They help that motor breathe better. That suspension was looking kind of weak. Also invest in some centramatic wheel balancers. Too bad it's carbureted. That's really going to suck the fuel down. Do a good job of waterproofing everything on it, fix it up on the inside, looks like a good fun project now. Good luck.

That RV looks so cosy inside, can’t wait to see when you’ve done it all up.

jesse, we need to cook!

I think that's a pretty good deal. I would get some plastic tarps and cover the roof and maybe the walls also so no more moisture to get in. But I think it's a great project and you'll get a lot of use out of it. I would see and want to know what the extent of the wood rot and damages so not to spend too much money. And you might want to winterize the fresh black and grey water tanks so they don't freeze. Great video

Awesome, cant wait to see this build

Exellent buy my friend.... For 1000 bucks you cant beat it. You drove it an hour to get home with no issue not bad. The water damage can be fixed easilly. Congratulations on your New purchase big shout out to you from México.

That was a great deal. The washroom was what sealed the deal for me. 👍👍

That short wheel-base and rear overhang is probably what makes it kinda squirrely.

There’s a huge RV junkyard in East Bernstadt Kentucky. Very helpful and can ship that door. The walls and roof are common lightweight wood

Not sure of the year you have but I have a 2005 chevy colorado i5 3.5 liter. I LOVE it!!! Its been a trooper! 230,000 miles and hasnt given me any problems other then small things like a door handle snap

This one got more classic style than the expensive ones, the 80's was awesome

So excited for you , looking good ! You remind me of the genie that wiggle s her nose with that snap trick neat-o

My only advice would be have it checked for mold. If there's black mold you do not want to be in there until it's stripped down to metal studs and rebuilt. Heck, it RUNS so it was for sure worth what you paid for it! You could probably turn it over as is and make at least 1-2k off it!

I too drive a 2006 Dodge grand caravan and I also live in a bounder just like this one only you got the dinette area, lucky, mine is short, but good luck man it looks good I hope you have fixed the water damage spots and have been living in it full time!

Good deal. Nice score.

This is a good buy. Maybe this is an eyesore for the owner close to donate it. But then he tried if someone will buy it instead. He just want to dispatch it right away. Quite excited how it will become soon. Will watch closely your DIY project. Your new subscriber... 😊😊

Yeah like everyone else has said for something you could live fairly comfertabley in once cleaned abit. Get a couple solar panels from lowes and you could run a space heater.

The engine alone is worth what you gave for it and it could fixed up nice for a little bit more and have fun

I like it, it's awesome ! I wouldn't want to have to fix it ! but I like it none the less. And it looks a damn sight better just for a clean. you need to get a tarp over the top though.

I bought a 91 Fleetwood Southwind, which is pretty much a slightly newer version of your Bounder but with a driver's side door and I paid close to $6000. My roof and walls aren't toast though and it has newer applainaces put in by the previous owner. I love these older rigs! Curious about the small square panel on the right rear side...looks like burn marks? Oh, and with all of the tape on your van windows it all does remind me of Walter White's car and lab...lol. Good luck with the resto and seeing if everything works!
