My name is Nathan and I am living full-time in my RV. Patches is a 1989 Winnebago Superchief on a 1988 Chevy P30 Chassis with a 7.4l BBC 454. She is 35 feet long, rear bumper to front bumper.
Follow me around as I live a nomad lifestyle being off the grid, boondocking, traveling and work on the RV making repairs and completing upgrade projects!

Hey there is a youtube channel called landmodo he shows land for sale most time in Arizona little money down. owner financing. Most of them are like $100 down. But its just land
Since I’ve seen patches rebuild I’ve been curious what you had in mind for all the space behind your living space. Nice job getting rid of a ton of tail swing! Admittedly I only seen a few of the Patches rebuild. I still need to watch probably the first 24 or so videos of patches rebuild. Personally I’d hate someone knowing more about me than I know about them. With that in mind, sorry if I bothered you at the red light today. The story I wanted to share with you is a small world story. A few months ago my father sent me a link to a KZread video of a guy that he’s been following for around 4 years. He said out of all the people he’s following this guy is the only one he’s sent $. He also said this guy lives on on some property in the country somewhere close to I5. That’s not exactly what what he said but because this is public I’m just saying what he said led me to believe you resided about an hour away from where I live. So, I’m watching this video he sent me and I’m thinking this guy lives in an area that is really similar to my area. It wasn’t until quite far in that video until I realized that you seriously live close to my town. All that isn’t really important to the story that I wanted to share with you. The small world part of the story is that my father not only enjoys your videos and is impressed with you skills but the fact that for the last 4 years he’s been enjoying your videos from the northern coast of Brazil! I just wanted you to know that you’re reaching people from quite a distance. Personally, I couldn’t believe he’s been watching you for years and you’re probably just 20-25 minutes away from me.
Switching to stick to avoid running into town for gas?
Yup, trying to save on gas and get some practice with stick welding
I say build a wood deck bed like you see in the old trucks. Out back you can use as truck bed when you need to haul something or use as a porch! Keep it up Nate you getting there.
Have you considered putting down some 2x6 or 2x8 planks like you would find on the deck of a trailer instead of plywood?
Ya but I think that's going to be a lot more expensive, just getting this RV put back together as fast and as cheap as possible and on the road, I plan on making a bunch of modifications once I get to the home base.
Might should have put those hose clamps on facing down so in the future if you need to take one off you can get to the hex head with a nut driver rather than having to somehow reach over them from underneath the RV.
Ah yes good idea
Amazing work Nate, It must feel good to be at the point where your putting everything back together, keep going ;)
Thanks man. Yea it sure does, finally! :)
Nate your gonna have to change patches name. I was thinking Max.......Mad Max 1 👍
Mooooooooooor that 40 minutes went like 10 😂 brilliant could watch a 2 hour video no worries
Thinking your air intake line might be a little restrictive? Kinda looks like it will be inhaling through a straw. The install is nice tho 👌
Patches is looking good ! It wont be long till You get to drive it again . If You use OSB or practical board it wont hold up to wet weather very good. If I was doing it I would use 1/2 or 3/4 inch marine plywood , it is a little expensive but with a good coat of paint it will last many years and with 3/4 inch You wont have to put in much bracing under it. As hillbillyrver357 said If You come to Quartzsite for the winter camping season You will be able to get tons of work ! If You come be sure to look Me up!
Now this is what I like to see good progress I was hoping you would shorten the frame
Nice!! Its really starting to look good. I can visualize the back porch!!
box the frame back there
Are you going to have built in external port tire/air inflator on the back by the tank? Be nice for tires or tools.
Progress Nat Progress ❤❤
Great work
Looks great Nate!!
Really magnificent...
Looking good Nate!
I can,t wait to see it go go go
Regarding the deck, what about screwing down 1 1/4" pressure treated decking crosswise without a subframe to get you on the road. You could use the steel to construct short walls like a landscaper's trailer.. could even hinge the sides & a tailgate.. Just a thought.. You're almost there.. good job! Dennis WB8DT
Nice work, you should use bulkhead fittings to prevent your blue fittings and hose getting chewed up going down the road. Iam a retired diesel mechanic and trailer mechanic did many of these over 45 yrs
Woohoo! The stick welds are much better! 😋
When I saw the title I was so happy to see you're shortening the frame! 💯
Great job on the rear hitch. I like it turned out nice.
That's the shot I've been waiting for, It was so satisfying to see the frame cut down. Looking good and great job. That's coming from a retired Ironworker.
👍
Nice, whole chunk of weight gone from out back there. Little bit easier to manoeuvre around too. A wood panel bed on the back would be good, save weight too - plus it looks cool :) Could put some hinged access hatches in.
Looking great big improvement
Thanks for the video.
Looks great! You're doing a good job. Hopefully you'll come down to Arizona to Quartzsite if you did a little handyman work there, you'd be swamped with work
Question? Why don’t you run your ear bud cord in your shirt? I would be annoyed having the wire hanging while I work.
What a difference!
Enjoying the videos hope you are keeping well
As they used to say “keep on truckin” man! just a random thought since patches has that mad max-ww2 bomber look going on maybe knock off loose rust and shoot with some Matte or low gloss clear coat.. get the $20 harbor freight paint gun it has pretty decent reviews look for a discount auto paint supply store there’s usually one in every bigger town/city and get a gallon or 2 of clear as it would probably be more cost effective than rattle cans. Then if you decide to put a color on it your not having to cover up anything. Also one good thing is if you do end up going south to the desert rust isn’t a big problem there.
Good work!
Looking good Nate!
Another cool repair vid. TRUMP 2024 !!! 💯
Hey bro you gonna road trip like a maniac when patches is done you totally should to celebrate the resurrection of YOUR MIGHTY SHIP!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great progress moving right along
Tbi is superior in everyway notice how many old timers want to put holley snipers on there old cars. Why do u think there is a lack of content of tbi cars "will it run" videos because people are still driving them.
