Ok. Congratulations! This unit was a very high end coach in its day. Your leveling system is an HWH lever system. It’s bulletproof! Your awning looks like a Zip Dee. Both HWH and Zip Dee are still in business. That coach is better built than anything new under $800k. I work for an RV dealership and I’m envious of your project!
Any knowl dge with 1990 TIFFIN ALLEGRO BAY 31' V10 460 MOTOR QITH 46K MILES 👀🫢 F53 CHASSIS DUALLY, IM THE 2ND OWNER,. FROM FACTORY/DEALER-> PREVIOUS OWNER I BOUGHT FROM-> To Me! I bought it for a really good deal and get the better handoff their misfortune. Pavers were already dripping equipment and had a day set and had already put that day off 4 days so I could have the weekend to get her out of their way for Monday a. M. Paving start. So their loss was my fortunate situation. Thank the Lord it ran drove, it needs brake lines and I have new master cylinder might as well why yo upgrade lines. also power steering HP line had a slit in it. Easy fix come spring. . Oh some scumbags cut the catalytic converter when I had it parked out front dad's house. Unreal. I had it moved and brought to my grandparents in the burbs more off the main roads. Scumbags gotta watch everything these days. Also I dumbly scrapped the 3 deep cell batteries thinking they were just heavy duty reg batteries not thinking or knowing they're more like 350 each 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ but oh well Lord had a bigger idea in mind. Upgrade them bren so it's fullproof and you can automatically cross it off the worry list. 😁

Recycle, Refurbish, Refit, Re-use - It's the best you can do (you actually do it all the time with your truck builds). The less we throw away, the less we destroy our planet. My parents had a truck camper in the early 70's. I still remember all the trips we did. You will make memories with your kids. Very cool video.
So much for not buying any more junk or taking on more projects. You either have a hoarding addiction or more money than sense lol...either way all the best for 2023
That man really wanted to sell it. Made me paranoid, but once she fired up, I knew she's solid. Brax is a little enabler😁. He was pushin at every turn for you to buy it. I love how you're just excited as he is. Looking forward to this build.
dont DM the bot
I think the dude really wanted it to goto someone that could and wold do it up right and TIM is on that list, and to think that TIM and fam is drivin around in my old RV GIVING IT LIFE AGAIN, well it would make ME HAPPIER...
@@BeamerTheFox . No ALWAYS Report them .
@@johncunningham4820 i have scripts to do that for me.
That will never leave the lot.
Just remember his primary objective is to build a UA-cam channel
He buys this and that project truck and seldom actually finishes them before it’s flipped. So he’s making money and building a UA-cam channel at the same time
Awesome RV here. Will be interesting to see how far he gets with it before it’s gone the way of so many other projects lol.
Enjoy his channel…. But Wish he would finish a few more trucks in the process
Dude, that is the most perfect RV I have seen! I can't believe it just started right up and such a lovely sound it makes. I'm pretty jealous of you. But in all fairness, I hope that you all have a good time with it because it's awesome
Just wait till the Demon Case Tractor comes across it parked in its tracks
This coach is made by Foretravel Motor Homes in Nacogdoches Texas. They have always sold very high end coaches and do so today. Prices range from $500,000 to $2,000,000. The company history is very interesting. It started as a Father and son high school project in the early 70's and someone wanted to buy the first one so they built another and it just grew until what they are today.
I can't wait to see you finish the RV buddy. I wish you all the very best of luck with it. and hope you and the family enjoy it for a long time.
Sounds like it's time to do a video with Bus Grease Monkey! I love old things like that, but it could very easily turn into a huge money pit. Hopefully the roof doesn't have any leaks and you don't have a bunch of hidden damage behind those walls.
i was thinking the vary same thing.
The bus grease monkey is painfully slow to watch.

The good and bad thing about fiberglass siding on an RV is that if you have rotten wood on the sides, it's horribly obvious. This rig is SOLID
The laws on vehicles are very different in UK everything here is set up to take your money.
@@lsmith6378 it is that way every were. every government or state has there hand out wanting to take every thing you have.
Looks like you found what you like and have all the resources to make it happen. Can't wait to hear what the folks back home say when you get it back there.
..Happy new year active subscriber thanks for watching and leaving a comment,you’ve been selected for my giveaway exercise hit me up@👆👆
Nice find! Hope you and your family make a lot of memories with it. All the best from Australia 🇦🇺
Dang, these both are getting smart. I'm sure they will especially with the younger ones
Happy New Year to you and all of your family Tim. Looking forward to another great year to share with you in your endeavours.
Good lord. For not starting anymore projects this is a hell uva project. Don't get me wrong I think it'll be cool if it actually gets completed. But I won't hold my breath on a completed project.
Ignore the haters. It’s your vision. Run with it. I’m on RV #4 and it has been great for our family. We go all over the country in the RV. Foretravel makes a great coach. That one needs a lot of love and would be beyond what I’m willing to tackle, but seeing your others projects is right up your alley. There are enough Grand Villas sitting around that you ought to be able to find or make parts for it. Enjoy the ride.
I can not wait to see you fix this up!!! It sounds awesome!!!
Yup, definitely cool. I LOVE that it has 87-91 F series headlights on it. That thing was PREMIUM back in the day. I think the headlight switch is vintage Ford as well... Which scares me lol
I remember doing this growing up, took 2 week trip out west to see all the sights it was something I’ll never forget. Well worth it even doing a couple weeks
Man yall are going to have the best time fixing that beauty up and some awesome times on the road and camping. Dang Brax you found a gold mine there buddy.
I so can't wait to see what you do with this camper. It's going to be amazing!
Maaannn, I'm so excited for y'all! What an amazing machine! Really looking forward to seeing how she turns out!!
That is one very special RV you are going to have some wonderful adventures in it, I am looking forward to seeing the restoration.
WOW! JUST WOW! What score, can not wait to see this all fixed up. Keep on trucking Tim and family
I'd buy it just to listen to that DD motor purr! I am really looking forward to the renovation videos! Best wishes to you and your family for the new year!🥂
a 2 stroke diesel does not purr
Holy cow thats cool as, cant wait to see the videos on it starting from getting it ready to drive back to sweet water and then the road trip back in it to get it fixed right up.
I think this RV looks awesome love all the gadgets pretty modern for it's age, look forward to seeing you restore it.
Yes me to this this would be amazing to see redone thats one sweet best
Nice find. People usually just rip the engines out of those old campers. That’s in really nice shape for as old as it is.
Happy New Year's 😊. Thank you for all the time you put on U Tube. You work so hard so take your time God will look after you and your family . Be safe in to 2023. Thank you from the Glendenning Family Kitchener Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 💙
I've always loved the sound of those engines too... hearing my dad coming home off the road in a late 70s cabover Freightliner mostly, or an International Transtar II, starting off with either a 318 or 238 Detroit until he blew it up, then putting a small cam or big call Cummins into it....ohhh the memories.
Pretty awesome seeing the foretravel. My mom and dad had 4 of them over the years. I spent a lot of time in them. They are made in nacogdoches tx. We bought our first one in 1988. Was similar to yours only we had a Cummins. Foretravel has a family like atmosphere. If you need any help the people at the plant are super friendly. Hopefully y’all have a lot of fun with it. Look forward to seeing what you do with it.
🔥right on man, happy for you and the family. That rig is killer, sick with that Detroit in it. Lil tlc and she be shinning. Me, wife,kids and dogs travelled from southern Ontario to west coast Rocky Mountains took a month and had a blast 🔥👊🔥🔨🏍⚙️🚜
That thing is so Bad Ass. Can’t believe how good of shape it’s in. Congratulations on a Great Find
Love that old timer "we go up to the shop get couple batteries I bet it'll fire"
That thing is in good shape and would probably make a awesome camper with a little work and TLC. It's even got a little screen up front where radio and controls are, I bet it's got a big back like the old school tvs lol. I can't wait to see how it looks when you get it finished.
@gentryisback.. Happy New Year 2023 bodymanbob from Alabama.
Happy New Year to you and your family Tim. That's a Great looking motor home. I Love those Ole Detroit Diesels. I still have my set of wiper needles to set the injectors on them when running the rack or replacing them. Fix her up and put it to use. Great Find.
He just loves having unfinished projects makes good content never runs out which is smart really and I agree dumb to live in a dam van life stuff people do that when they don’t have a life if you ask me
Great video Tim and Braxton. A nice paint job some LED head lights and your rolling down the road
My neighbor has an 88 grand villa he's been restoring. Thing is pretty slick. Sounds amazing once he straight piped it
Loud
What an awesome video Mr Gentry well deserved rv for u and your family
Killer RV find. Good luck on the restoration
Happy New Year, Tim & the Gentry Family. NICE Rv just needs a little loving!
@𝑻𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒎 @gentry0 So Tim what did I win!
I so much love Brax’s enthusiasm with this one……. I can see y’all Paintin “Gentry Family” on the side of it… bein a maintenance man at a hotel 🏨, that smoke detector is drivin me crazy
That thing is clean AF. What a find!!! Looking forward to more content on this
That’s a nice rig! I hope you are able to find a replacement passenger rear wheel panel and are able to fix the missing chin piece. Other than that, it looks like the outside needs little more than a screw and polish. And the interior other than by the front panels under the windows is very very nice.
Awesome find can't wait to see what yall do with this gem 👍👍👍 I would cut holes in the bumper when you make it taller because it looks like it has cooling vents for the front brakes
You’ll be waiting a long time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jerrylewis3391 got nothing but time bud 👍
tim what a treat is that a least a 40ft looks almost 3blocks long sound real sweet what a super good way to start out the new year
This is a rare diamond in the rough. Fourtravels are bulletproof not to mention the drivetrain and all of the other components. This coach was built back in the day where craftsmanship and quality were second to none. I saw one while traveling across country in my beat up old Pace Arrow, that was in pristine condition. I don’t think you know how lucky you are but you will find out very soon. Congratulations.
God bless you and your family awesome job good luck with your motorhome Happy New Year
Undeniable Detroit sound 💕💪🇺🇸
That's an awesome find - get it home, spend some time doing it up the right way - we're watching 👍🇦🇺
Great video! Hope you guys have fun fixing it up!!
Love the rv video! You are going to get alot of new viewers because of it. I have a 1990 beaver marquis with Cat 3208T inside looks just like it. The older ones are definitely built alot better. At least the older diesel pushers 1998 and below
That's a great engine Cat 3208
Can't wait for this build, Tim. What an awesome mobile home.
That's a nice old RV but you will never be done working on that old RV. They will wear you out. God bless Timmy
The Gentry Villa! Cool deal man thanks for sharing!
Never seen a Rare camper have Jake brakes before
Sounds good and looks pretty 🤩
Heck yeah!! More yard art that’ll never get touched again
Yet again let’s start another job that will not be done lol … I’m done
That is going to be nice. Can’t wait for the first camping (glamping) trip😊
You got One Life to Live to enjoy yourself and your family going camping taking it just out on the cruise seeing different places in the country that sounds fantastic I hope you have a Happy New Year and be careful talk to you soon
Bro when are you gonna finish a build. .What ever
A fool and his money soon part ways a wise man once said.
nice RV, it runs flawless an dont need to much that you an the boy cant handle,
also i reported every bot comment i could find hope it helps, HAPPY NEWYEARS GENTRY FAMILY !
Congratulations. I love this RV can't wait to see more content about it.
You have one patient wife lol 🚛🇺🇸✝️🙏🏼💙🐑🚜🐂
She loves to see how the kids work so hard and create memories
Dude this is coming from someone who has owned a old Class A motor home. That thing is one GIANT money pit! For all the money that you're going to have to dump into that thing you would be way better off to go buy something newer. You know the water lines will need to be replaced and that alone is a major nightmare. Then everything else LOL. GOOD LUCK! You're gonna need it...Whatever happened to that "I'm not buying anything else" "I'm done wasting money on stuff I really don't need" Yeah you can repair it at home but what cha gonna do when you're 500 miles from home and it lays down on you? Truth be known the reason for it being parked for years is ole boy got sick of dumping cash into it. Now he's passing that headache on to you with a smile lol
Can’t wait to see you bring this gem home happy new year to you and your family all the best and success
Thats a great rig and will be the perfect platform to fix up. Look up what others have done to these. There should be a main disconnect for the batteries as well. Also the lining around the gauges glow so you can see them better at night.
I've never found anybody I can trust enough to drive while sleep in the back of my RV?????
Brax has our backs brother go back to sleep were in good hands😁😱☠️👺
My hat is off to anyone who can sleep on top of that screaming Detroit
@@matthewyork5816 r3r3y
@@matthewyork5816 that screaming Jimmy is music to your ears it will put your right to sleep
Yeeeeeees. Those Foretravel Grand Villas were the cream of the crop back in the day, Tim. Following along as you fix her up!!
A agree, the sound of that engine is pure music. Congratulations!
You wasn't rich enough back then to have something like this???, Tim you wasn't old enough Bubba !!!
It's only worth It's weight in scrap,you don't need another project
You know Tim with the way you love the 2 stroke detroits, I am surprised more of your trucks don't have them!
It's the fuel burn. They're great for fun, but he needs the DDEC 12.7 L for hauling and making profit.
Best of luck to Y'all..When you get her all cleaned up polished or painted it's going to look grand.
Guess you cant have to much "YARD ART " !!!
Gonna make a damn nice winter shelter for all his farm animals out in the pasture.
@@stupadaso7948 apparently he removed the comment that had nearly 100 replies about him finishing any projects. Classy move.
@@dangit4341 Probably got to reading all of them and started to bawl uncontrollably and told mommy and she took care of it.
Definitely no sleeping as long as that engine is running...they are SOO DAMN LOUD and they stuck it RIGHT under the bed. Ha ha. That's like some ironic joke
Nope that an womans paradise them detroit vibes greatest orgasm ever🤣🤣🤪😉
What's wrong with a Screamin' Jimmy Lullaby? Like being back in your Mama's arms. 😁
Only in America they could come up with something as insane, preposterous and brutal as this! Massive wood interior! There are even tiles on the floor :D This is so cool!
What an amazing bus looking forward to see your work on it
Tim, you actually WANT A R.V. THAT OLD dude??... it's in the 80's
He does right now.. let him get it home and actually start looking at it I try not to be a Debbie downer but the amount of money and work it would take to make this a modernized nice camper is astronomical.
Worse case I got a electronic silver series for the air force truck
Fair point 🤷🏻♂️
@j.rowland3488 oh I know it's expensive..like remodeling a house..I guess that's why he wants to take his time and re do it slowly..I was surprised how quickly it cranked up and its not extremely loud must be heavily insulated with quiet mufflers..most 6 8 or 12 71's are stupid make you lose your hearing loud
@@lornperkins4270 nah, I’ve got an 8V71 in my coach and this one is louder than mine. I can’t hear it at all up front which makes it hard to know when to shift but I learned to use certain speeds as my shift points instead.
How much is this hair brain idea gonna cost you..😆😅🤣🤣😅😆
I could lower my standards for that, 😆
Great find and I don't think I would want anything less that what you found!
Enjoy!
The Grand Villa was top a the heap. Nice listening to Robert, super great guy.
That is a nice RV brother. The hell with what others think 🤔, that is going to look amazing when you are finished restoring it. It will be a 300,000 dollar RV in your eyes once your done with it and that's all that matters bro. You will have lots of memories with the kid working on it and make plenty more in it with the family while traveling in it. I am a brand new subscriber, just subscribed today because of this video and I want to see you finish that RV and make videos on it and vacation in it with the family.💯
Get er done!!
Four videos ago you were going to sell things you don't need. This video he buys a camper when HD already has a camper. Focus.....
old trucks is one thing but old buses and campervans are a whole different can of worms to dig into you're way better off getting something a bit newer because that thing will be a money pit if you buy it
Old or new, rigs like this are a guaranteed money pit.... No way around it unless you just park it somewhere.
It looks like a time machine. It's actually pretty amazing to see, cool video. Have my 👍
I like it and can't wait to see the progress on it!! Next video please!!
Why does everyone gotta break this man’s chops about his projects? The only reason why is because he makes videos on them. Do you realize how many of us start something then move on to another without finishing it? Damn! Just enjoy his content for crying outloud!
I think its because the Gentry Huggers are not buying enough merch. They came thru for his so-called kids' truck when they all bought him a new bumper, so c'mon huggers, buy that merch so Timmy can finish a project!
Black mold everywhere..junk...
Way to go Tim, you Sir are a winner in life, keep up the good work Sir !!!
I absolutely love the sound of that thing.
What ever happened to the scam truck you guys ever got it back on the road?
Yea, never updated on it, dude left working with Tim pretty sure got parked, but oddly dude supposedly came back and supposedly driving one of the argosy trucks which makes you wonder where the “scam truck” went 🤔
@@Thefvckncaptain I seen it parked on the last video he posted about his sons truck getting a new driver which I guess is Shane the owner of the fld.. truck looks like it hasn’t been touched
I wood rethink that pos motorhome.. infested with animals. Rats.dead batterys.cant get parts.side was wrecked.hasnt been on the road since 2017.weather beat.needs 5k worth of tires.most likely needs a transmission control module.. it came from copart which sell salvage vehicles and the department of motor vehicles will never let you put it on the road.. your goi g to be 60k tall in that thing before it's all said and done..
Sounds like that ought to fit right in the Gentry Elite Fleet.
I have a 1990 grand Villa have looked at them for years bought it 2 years ago absolutely love this machine have traveled all over with
AMEN, THAT'S A TOP OF THE LINE COACH, I RV, FOR 10 YEARS,.. DUDE, YOU DID RIGHT, NOW YOU FIX IT UP TO YOUR COMFORTS..EPIC SCORE BRUH..THATS A ROLL ROYCE, OF COACHES LIKE A BLUE BIRD....ENJOY..
I thought you were concentrating on your business. You always find a project you never will finish.
Isn’t that why it’s a project. And who are you to say what he does with his money jealousy is an awful thing.
Time for a mass exodus.. this guy is pathological..
You his wife or somethin?
@@Ryangarrow26 not really jealousy, it’s the hypocrisy. He’s constantly saying one thing and doing another. When you put your life on UA-cam, you get judged for the things you say and do or don’t do.
@@Ryangarrow26 nobody is jealous. He e-begs to sell merch to support completion of projects that never happen.
Sleeping on top of a 2 stroke Nope !! Nothing but a Money Pit !! Hard Pass Don’t do it !
I drove a 78 International with a 6V silver series. Loved it. It definitely had that Detroit scream with straights!
