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!

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! 🤣

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.

Your place is becoming an RV lot! 😆

Nice score!

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!

Holy Palomino that flooring looks nice 👍🏼

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!

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?

What length/ size screws did you use to re-attach the windows? Don't find that mentioned! thx

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! :)

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!

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?

Awesome job!

Where was the leak coming from?

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.

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

We used your 2 videos to teach us how to make our awning for our Tilly. It turned out fabulous, THANK YOU

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?

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.

My everything is missing other then the hole that's there. I would know where to buy all that for mine at.
