I am curious what was the cost of the repairs for the whole rv?
those are not high powered rifles
Our family of eight traveled in that same trailer in the late 60s ...good times on lake Ontario!
I'm considering a 78 dodge sportsman (smaller in size) with just under 80,000 miles, it runs and drives and comes with a fresh oil change. The price is $3,000 and i dont know ibthats fair or not, I'm open to input from anyone with experience with these types of vehicles (I have none); thoughts, tips, concerns, and comments are all welcome!
I really could not judge if that’s a good price or not without seeing it. But some things to look for are: look for signs of water damage on the ceiling, look for signs of soft spots in the floor. Test out as many of the components as you can. Does the air conditioning work, refrigerator, furnace? Are there any leaks in the plumbing system? How are the tires? Best of luck!!
That's not old..baha
What size what the cooper pipe if you know
Those windows look awesome! Do you also recommend "caulking" the outside of the windows, once installed? I have to attempt to do this very project this summer. Unfortunately I have to replace broken glass on 2 of the solid panel windows. Can a regular glass cutter/shop cut me a replacement piece? Any help is greatly appreciate! Thanks for sharing!
That is one huge couch, bench dinette. I think I would be modifying that area to something more practical and homey! 🤣
Yes it is!! We are thinking about removing that. Maybe get a nice couch and still have room for something else!
Huge trailer, wow! I love the flip TV stand, fun. I'll tell you some of my cleaning tips. I would get a pump sprayer (for weeds) and fill with an enzyme based solvent for dog urine and skunks, then spray that over ceilings fabrics, floors and all surfaces. Then coming in with a bucket of hot water and laundry detergent (also enzyme based). Add some TSP to that for grease removal. Then scrub all surfaces with it to remove the smell, grease and tar of smoke. For the fabric couches - scrub down with laundry detergent and oxy clean colored bleach in very hot water, and vacuum up immediately with a wet dry shop vac. Rinse with hot water twice. It helps if you have a hose with a fine nozzle that sprays directly from hot water tap. Spray, vacuum small sections at a time. Pat down with towels and then put on heater and fans to dry out. Fabrics absorb smells more than any other surface. Also burning candles will burn up any residual smells. A big job but not that hard. I would find out how the pros do it in smoky houses, and copy them.
Wow! Thanks for all the info. This will help as I take this big smelly camper!!
Your place is becoming an RV lot! 😆
Yes it is!! No more campers until we sell some! 😆
Nice score!
Thank you!!
That's a big one!
I own a 1973 32' Holiday Rambler ( Same Layout ), Paid $1,800. Been Living in it in Florida for just over 13yrs now. Has it's problems. Had to put Tin on the roof held down by cinder-blocks. Water Plumbing Works but Don't use it, Collect Rain Water for Bathing and General Cleaning, Drinking Water comes from Neighbors Well down the Road. Toilet and it's Plumbing is Shot and had No Holding Tank, so I use a Camping Toilet, throw Bags away at Gas Station Down the Road, YES LEGAL! But Garbage Refuse to Pick My Garbage up if I put the Bags in Mine.. Under Front Door is Rotted but Holding up. Floors are Cheap Ass Self Stick Tiles that Don't Stick. Bathroom Floor is Saggy and HUGE Hole under where Toilet is and Open to Outside. Electrical is Okay and Warm Enough in Winter with a Oil Filled Space Heater and Cool Enough with a Window A/C Upfront. Stove is Shot and can Not Be Saved. Original Fridge is Gone! Holes Under the Flooring leading to the Outside so Mice are a HUGE Problem in Fall/Winter/Spring and Closed off Just enough so Opossums Can No Longer get in. Occasional Snake ( None Poisonous ), Lizards, Roaches Of Coarse... A Family of 6 Were Living in it Before Me and I had to Rip out the Bunk Beds in Back. Put in a Shelf/Desk and that is where the TV and Computer are and I Lay In Bed All Day watching it. I would Renovate it but need to build a Shed/House First and Move this before one of 3 Trees Fall On it. About the Only thing of Value on it are the Tires that were Brand New at $700 and I Put on it and only have 1,450 Miles on them but are Now 13plus Years old... And 2 Brand New ( at the time ) and Barely Used 20Gallon Propane Tanks. It Does what it Needs to Do and I am Happy With it. And I have a Nice Covered 12x12 Porch On It. That Helps A Lot also.. Did Have to take the Front Door Of and Replace that with a Standard Door. The Latch Broke and Costs over $200 to Replace it and a Standard Hollow Core Door with Minor Defects at the Bottom was only $5 and $2 for the Cupboard Handles and $5 for Latch Lock... Seemed to Make Sense... Cut off the Bad Part of the Door to Fit... My Windows are the Slotted Ones, No Bunk Widows and No Rear Bedroom Door to Outside, Thank God.
Awesome job!!! I would be a nervous wreck trying to do what you've accomplished! It looks great!
Thanks! I definitely went pretty slow 😊
Holy Palomino that flooring looks nice 👍🏼
Thanks!!
How much
10/03/2023 Very nice work. Somehow I'm going to have to create these aluminum emblems like yours.
I grew up in one of those lol
Is this a Vacationer? Do you know the model number? Thanks for a great video!
It’s actually a Rambler. As it has an aluminum upper frame.
How do you add a new kitchen faucet to this old pipe?
I have an opportunity to buy one if these 1975 (69,000) miles for $1000. Do you think that's a good deal?
Wow it really depends on the condition but $1000 doesn’t sound bad
What length/ size screws did you use to re-attach the windows? Don't find that mentioned! thx
Honestly I don’t remember. That was several years ago. Sorry!
Hi there! I have this same RV and am having terrible electrical issues with the motor. Somewhere from the ignition to the starter is heating and frying. My dad isn’t too sure what’s going on with it, would love some advice! :)
Hi, I wish I could give some good advice on the electrical issue. I'm not the best with that sort of thing. I hope you can get it worked out!
Looks great! Love your work!
Will this work on any rv?
Where did you get your lock?
Do you have a final video after your restoration? I would love to see it !!!
Your RV roof appears to me it needs a good scrubbing (with Ultra Dawn) and a recoating of a quality rubber roof compound. ETERNABOND is amazing product! You do amazing work!
Thanks for the info. I've never had an older camper with a rubber roof. Do you have any suggestion on a rubber roof compound?
@@vintagecamperrehab5888 You're welcome. These days there are multiple brands of Elastomeric roof coatings to choose from. Dicor seems to be the gold standard for many RVers. They are quality products. However, the best results (best adhesion) I have witnessed appear to be the ones where the surface to be recoated was thoroughly prepped and cleaned of all oils/grease, loose caulk sealants removed and replaced, cracks filled, damaged areas repaired, etc. Henry's also makes a good product! Liquid Rubber, Apoc, Kool-Seal, and others are out there. Once the roof has been thoroughly cleaned AND rinsed well, I highly recommend applying the primer you often have to buy separately (depending on the brand you buy) as they help eliminate flaking of final coating. There are also UA-cam videos on here that talk about the various brands and the pros and cons. I'm sure you will come up with the right product for you! Best wishes! Looking forward to more of your videos!!! Tom
@@furlvr1961 Wow! Thanks for the info!
@@vintagecamperrehab5888 Happy to help in any way possible.
Moving right along, taking shape 👍🏼
That was a big job you tackled! It appears from what I have seen, you are up for the task! You're doing a remarkable job!!! I can't help but wonder if the water intrusion came down the walls to get to the floor, what must the lower half of the walls be like and if moisture has damaged them at all?
Thank you! And that's a great question! It appears that there was only one small area in the front bedroom that had any wall damage. I didn't show it but it was minor and easily fixed. Thanks for watching!
Awesome job!
Thanks!
Where was the leak coming from?
Hi and thanks for the question! I believe that some if it was coming in at the edge of the roof where the rubber bends over the edge. I'll share this repair in a later video. I did go over all exterior wall points of entry with ProFlex RV caulk and believe I have gotten them all fixed.
Build it back better.
Your numerous references to possible points of “intrusion(s)” of water/moisture…, I say.., “all of the above”, as the often quoted line goes. Unless these things are kept under a hard cover (at minimum), they are a deteriorating item from the day you drive them off the lot. I have owned numerous RV’s like this, and made similar repairs. I am just amazed that these units actually go down the road, and stay together. You buying one and doing the repairs is money well spent. Check out the numerous older gentlemen doing the posting videos of “vintage” rehab’s.., have good little tips on all sorts of ways to do the repairs you are doing.
I’m considering purchasing one of these later today. Thanks for the videos. I’ll be sure to check out more of your content.
These are well built campers. Good luck!
Do you still have knobs that go on vent?
Dang! That thing is dirty!
Where did you find and buy the white vinyl bead? The awning looks spectacular! Thanks
Super helpful. I have some stained birch panels in my 1950 Ironwood. I think just layering fresh veneer over them is the way to go.
Help! I'm running into walls teying to locate parts and a manual for 1973 Holiday Rambler
I have one exactly like this
I’m always amazed when some RVs are not cleaned up before they’re filmed.What I can see of it looks nice
Great video
I have a 63 model the brand name in it is the frolic not sure who the Builder was my trailer looks exactly like yours but the stove is on the opposite side in mine
how much did you sell it for
I think it was 9,300 three years ago.
We used your 2 videos to teach us how to make our awning for our Tilly. It turned out fabulous, THANK YOU
I'm glad they were helpful!
Do you still have this camper? What would be your "review" of this installation placement and process, now that you have used it for a while?
Hi. I don’t still have this camper but we did use it for a few years. It worked great and kept the camper cool. The remote helped since it is under the bed when it lets out. I would do it again with the same size camper.
Do you know much this weighs?
In your vent installation. Ar'nt there a screen there. You'll need that to keep bugs from flying in.
Yes the screen goes on from the inside.
My everything is missing other then the hole that's there. I would know where to buy all that for mine at.
