Driving or towing something you just bought is always an adventure i know i had a 2,018 mile towing adventure but i made it , thanks to the many people that help me along the way

Y'all cracked me up with the folding chairs coming with the unit, now you have a place to sit while stranded on the side of the road. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

Really think it needs to do a road trip down to Florida this winter 😄

This is a good quality camper. You have to save this one.

Fabulous work. Congrats.

I have resurrected several old RV's and one sitting for 6 years is not that bad, especially for a quadrajet, which can set over 10 years with ease and still work fine. Most RV's didn't get fuel injection until the 90's, and if you can take the time to actually understand a carburetor, they are great. In fact I will take a carburetor over fuel injection any day. If the refrigerator has an ammonia smell, it is leaking and should be replaced or professionally rebuilt.

Take a camping trip with us before winter ❄️. You don't have to go far. Thanks 👍 for sharing.

Hills are a Winnebago's mortal enemy.

Awesome y'all got it home y'all are so funny see yah guys

Good video glade you made it home. Thanks for sharing 👍

You guys seem to really know your shit when it comes to RVs and mechanical. Admirable!

That RV is a GM Collectors item, you don't know what you have, do not destroy it, but you probably already have 😂🎉

It definitely isn't worth fixing, most of the roof is destroyed from water damage

Dam I have to say I like it nice but 👍🏾👌🏾👌🏾👏🏾 can't wait to see it up & running 🙏🏾

This video popped up in my recommended and had to watch it because the camper looked so familiar. I couldnt believe it sold on the auction site for only $160. Looks like its worth every penny lol. Btw at 20:51, Im the one that bought that 1986 F250.

Not gonna lie I would love one of those over the new RVs. Looks crazy comfortable even to drive

Nice old beast😄

For me ,who live in Germany, that kind woukd be Just,a dream

My first car came with a lucky set of horseshoes, too. '63 Chevy Nova. I think I bought it in '74 for $100. It ran fine. But needed brakes and a clutch. I was in high school. Did all that myself.

The CB would be the biggest selling point for me.

First time viewer. Very funny, interesting with some great laughs😂

Hey, that was fun. I'm going to see what else you guyd have to offer. All hail the mighty algorithm.

The brakes are not working well, because you need to inflate the air suspension

Great RV! Great job, guys! Probably good to syphen out the old fuel with a wet vac or pump or something before setting off -- might have prevented some of the carburettor and running issues. And I know it was probably not possible at the time, but it might have helped the brakes to douse them with brake cleaner -- just to free them up, get rid of a bit of dirt and rust, etc. Mechanical problems can always be solved. The real hurdle is: What does the wife think of it? I think she'll (the wife) like the RV. And I think she'll (the RV) clean up real nice. Try to restore her back to original -- give her (the RV) that dignity. Great job, guys! Keep safe out there!

The Shape, the windows, the layout and the dash tells me it may be the WindCruiser by Winnebago. I'm sure there's other model names too. They are actually good quality line of RV's. LIke top of the line for an RV. I was just given an 85 model with 35,000 original miles that had been badly vandelized. No water damage though.I've towed it to the off grid property. I'll be using the 454 and Th400 for my 85 Chevy Truck K20 mud truck build. The other parts, tanks, windows, fridge, wiring propane tank and many many other parts to convert a school bus to an RV. It should save me thousands robbing parts off this thing. Sad it was vandelized so bad. It still a Th400 but should have straight cut planetaries in the back and a drum driveshaft brake that can be swapped out with a standard output shaft which I'll have to be doing.

hahaha, Good Job sticking with it and getting it to the house. You got your $160 worth. There's a ton of good parts and that low mileage engine just needs fluids changed a carb replaced and new fuel pump then put it in a Squaebody truck. As I'm doing with one extremely similar, converting a bus to an RV. I hate RV's, though I have to say, those upper line Winnebagos are about the best I've seen for an RV as far as quality. I mean, it's still thin consctruction, but it's not paper thin like most RV's. I'll have to sub now and see what you do with this thing. Can't be nothing but good and entertaining.

It really doesn't look too bad it just needs a good going through.

Definitely wasn't as bad inside as I thought it would be. Should have put some Seafoam in the gas, that would have helped with the carburetor. Run an Ozone Generator inside for a week to get rid of the smell.

From what I’ve seen station wagons and RVs kept using carburetors long after the throttlebody came around why I have no idea

Hey you could gut the interior and make a burnout bus. Looks like the 454 already has some big headers on it.

Why are you putting starting fluid in the secondaries?

Please keep her a life and a for ever home in a museum

Love to see what she looks like all cleaned up?

That mesh thing is a bud net that snaps to the awning.....

She's a beaut Clark!!!

I hate to admit it but I live in one identical😂

Q-Jet secondary air valves should snap shut, not dangle open. The air/fuel mixture was leaning out with you flooring it with the secondary air door messed up.

Best winobago ever

now you just got to get the Bruce generator running lol

Is the fan belts on or loose?

This motorhome the 454 is in is a 1989 sunflyer motorhome and like I said it runs and drives excellent

If the airhorns on top work, you got your money's worth‼️😂😎

You fix it up? I have one and looking for parts!

A lot of times the body of the camper and the cab aren't from the same model year. Example: my 1986 Class C by rights it should have fuel injection because '86 was the first year of EFI for Ford. However, the E350 frame chassi cab it rides on is a 1985.

carburetor needs a rebuild and the alternator is not working my guess

A carbureted big block is a hell of alot more likely to run after sitting than a tbi

Could not be spraying starting fluid while driving????

Good deal for the money!

I have a 36 ft class A on the Ford f-550 chassis and damn her booty swings far 😂 One good thing my dad pointed out (previous owner) was when towing a trailer the tail swing helps keep you away from curbs and the axles follow you around the corner much better when making tighter turns towing so it does have one benefit but that's it haha. Just isn't fun when making a left or right turn at a intersection with cars in the lane next to you.

Wow that thing is loooong 😂

Alot of us who have watched Derek for years, have had some of the things he says become part of our vocabulary, without a conscience effort. These guys have great personalities, and are pretty darn entertaining. Isnt life hard enough sometimes as it is, without having someone we dont even know try and dictate how we should or should not talk?
