What a transformation love this series you’re going to make some fantastic memories with your family
You are doing a fantastic job on the renovation! It’s absolutely stunning! Love the orange for the seat covering, can’t wait to see it finished! Not sure if the clock is too near the hob though, it may get a bit steamed up lol! Everything else is just awesome 👍👍
Upgrade to the fuel injection and keep the plaid upholstery on the bench seat.
Man, those kids are on the verge of building some incredible lifetime memories! Way to go Dad!!
Agreed, aren't kids just wonderful.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
The original bench seat fabric looks way better than that orange 🤮
I think the original couch fabric matches the best not the tweed
I agree. I don't mind the orange but that fabric looks too plain. There needs to be some pattern on it to break up all the solid interior coloring.
Yeah the plaid works great. Orange plaid would be cool too.
I’m another vote for the ‘old fabric’
This is by far my favorite series that you have done! Worth the very expensive subscription that you charge to watch! Thank you so much.
You pay to watch?
What if you were to laminate an interstate road map to that bathroom door? It would give off that family summer vacation/road trip vibe. One of those goofy 60's style maps with the cartoony representations of attractions along the way, like a bouffant-haired, bikini-clad gal with a beach ball by the coast, and an old timey skier with spring bindings and bamboo poles schussing down the slope in the mountains? And a Philips 76 or Sunoco or other old fashioned gas station logo in the corner? Whatever you decide, it'll be awesome and I'm so enjoying this project!
I like the road map idea!
Looks better than factory. The patience you guys have to keep plugging away in the restoration is spectacular. Never could imagine it coming out that good.
Unless you plan orange carpets....the original colors in the seat looks like more a match to the rest of your new interior....love your work....keep 'em comin'
When you bought that thing I was thinking you have no idea how much work that will really take to get it to an acceptable state. You have done very very well
This rebuild looks like it was done professionally. You and your dad should be proud. The upholstery i would go with durable vinyl to stand up to years of kid spills and such. And last go for a Holley sniper 2 EFI for a few more ponies.
The ability for the EFI to adjust air fuel ratio when going into the mountains is probably better than the few ponies.
That camper is built way better than modern ones for sure
Looking GOOD! I vote for fuel injection (for altitude) and fire suppression (everywhere) and a 'mouse proof house' (because) to store this beast out of the weather.
Holley Sniper would go nicely with the new decor.
As much as I like the funkiness of the orange tweed covers that you’re thinking of using, the cushions that you have in there now and the colours they’re covered in go really well with your interior design. It may have been unintentional but they really work.
40:47 Michael: "It's a lot of work especially for a DIY'er "Do it Yourselfer" like us.. who don't have a clue what we're doing..
The way I see it, if the "Will It Start" videos dry up, you and your dad can get into building custom RV's, this is as professional as it gets, the wood fitment, joints, moldings and panels are all snug fit. Everything is perfect. As for the colors, you do what pleases you and your family. I'm absolutely loving this series since Day 1. This factory style restoration is up there with the best of them.
Not bad for two guys who don't know what they are doing... It's like if GMC were doing an upgrade, this is what it would look like. Awesome job you guys.
No orange, plaid looks awesome !!!!
For the bathroom door maybe the dark wood grain like the front walls or the same color as the curtains. Looks great can't wait for the next episode.
The remodel of the interior looks remarkable!!! A very fitting tribute to a true 70s icon of the road and campsite!!!
She's coming along more than nicely! A shade of grey for the apolstry will tie it in with everything else. It's a neutral, practical color that is already being used.😉👍
Dad built and child approved is a ringing endorsement.
Love the kids excitement, your dad is also a star of the channel! My vote is for the original fabric on the bench seat (or similar) as it ties in better with the interior, but go with what you like! 😊
Take a piece of the fabric that you're putting on the seats, and glue it on the bathroom door, just the door. It'll tie everything together, and it helps cut down on the echo a little bit. You can use normal wallpaper glue.
This is the build that introduced me to your channel, and it's the build that keeps me coming back! Loving how it's turning out and these kids are gonna have a BLAST taking trips in this!
It’s coming out really nice. A lot of windows and light. I would do yourself a huge favor and have all the ceramic window tint installed. Whether it be clear or colored. It will block out all the heat and UV rays for destroying that beautiful interior. It needs to be ceramic window tint. Not that the normal stuff. It’s costly but it’s a huge improvement and keep the inside from getting sun damaged. And keep ALOT cooler in the summer.
Consider the Holley sniper. It’s easy DIY and very reliable.
Wow! You two have done amazing work on this camper.
“Keep On Truckin”
I’ve been waiting to see the next installment. Wow really close to the finish line. Nice to see the kiddies, family is great. God bless.
I absolutely love the quality of work you and your father has done restoring this GMC Motorhome! The colors are great especially the orange cushion... Thank you for sharing this wonderful project with us! Cheers from Missouri!
Skoolie builder here... You guys are KNOCKING IT OUT OF THE PARK! It's so cool inside. You've made it your own.
Congrats on some great work. Can't wait to see the next one!!
Fuel injection is a no brainer I think, go for it! Will make it so much more usable and reliable.
Didn't think I'd care that much about a camper revamp. Normally I just like the car/truck revivals. I've watched every episode of this project so far and that thing really is coming together nicely. Looks so much more up to date.
I have literally watched this build since day one I am so proud to where she is sitting today congratulations to both you and your dad for getting her running going and restoring her epic Father and Son project
My second favorite build on this channel (Porsche was #1). I'm looking forward to some great "shorts" that encapsulate the whole build into 15 seconds. Amazing memories to be made with the kids!
This van is ending up pretty awsome. I would have loved to have a real old school motorhome like this. Such a great shape overall and a pretty nice layout. Would be perfect for a couple!
I've been watching this build from the beginning. Looking great. Fuel injection is the way to go. Power,fuel economy, dependable. Little pricey. Can't wait to see finished. Keep up the awesome work.
Fuel injection is the way to go, there’s so many positive benefits to it. Including better starting, drivability and possibly fuel mileage. There so many choices for basic drop in systems, I think it’s a no brainer.
Not now honey I’m watching the new Budget Buildz RV restoration video!!
Fabulous state of the art classic motorhome rebuild. Seeing and hearing your children excitement surely has to be a great satisfaction to you and ur father on ur countless hours of fabrication and investment to this build. Thanx 4sharing.
The camper looks really good, guys! Nice work!
I just have to say, I have watched this from the beginning and you guys look like absolute professionals and I do not think you could do a better job
Great series and progress. Like you color choices except for the orange bench seat. I like the original much better. Patterns also hide stains better.
The level of craftmanship and fabrication is beyond impressive!! You guys are amazing!!
Summer is almost over! I hope to see you guys out camping before too long. I would be proud and just tickled to own that rig!
Love the orange 👍
You can always brighten up the back with some funky bedding/sheets, so don't worry too much about the white expanse on the bathroom door etc, until it's all together
Awesome! Open up some windows and put a few box fans in there while you’re working on it to keep you all cooler!
You can’t ask for more, when the kids are excited and joyful over your build consider it done 👍 good job
You and your Dad have done an incredible job on the motor home. You are both so fortunate to have each other.
Your coming along well on the ol gal. Big improvements and i think it all turned out well.
Cant wait to see the fully finished product, thank you guys for keeping another one alive and makin memories. 😊
The orange is not wacky at all, It’s perfect!! Ties in very nicely 👍🏼
This has been one of my favorite video series on UA-cam. It snaps me back to my childhood growing up camping. To bad we couldn't go back to that simpler time.
Looking great…what a fun restoration project! Thanks guys…really enjoy your channel!
Great job! Lots of fun and memories for your family. Might consider treating all the upholstered fabric with "Scotchgard" available at HD. Strong fabric protection repels water based spills for easier cleanup, Ideal for household items like upholstery, curtains, pillows, table linens, backpacks, luggage and more
Congratulations son and dad! Have fun with your family,you are working so well together, you deserve to enjoy that mobil home so much. Proud,proud,proud of you. And thank you for your so interesting videos.
Take it from someone whose heyday was the 70's, you really don't want shag carpet! The motorhome looks terrific!👍
Shag carpet is a scuzzy germ magnet. The absolute worst was installing it around a toilet, people actually did that. Yechh!
Wow. You guys are really doing a fantastic job on this camper. What a fun series of videos this has been to watch. Congratulations guys on a great job.
So glad this isn't a project that got put aside and forgotten. Y'all have really impressed me with all of the work that you have put into this thing. I think fuel injection would be a wise move, especially if you're wanting to take it to the mountains. The interior is going to be updated, may as well bring the engine into the 21st century too. Keep up the excellent work
It is looking great. What a super job you guys are doing!
Just a thank you, for clean, real deal content videos. And so obvious love of family.
Amazing all coming together great and seeing the kids enjoying is great 🏴
I sure remember those days having a trailer and kids being super excited. Lots of good memories
This thing is looking legit. Those kids are already building some awesome memories with this camper build.
Amazing work you are doing on that old RV! Would cost far too much to pay someone to do all that, but you guys knocked it out! 👍👍
That thing has came so far. Y’all did a fantastic job. 😊
I’ve really enjoyed watching you and your dad renovate this motor home . Keep up the good work guys 😊
This has been one of the most enjoyable series I have watched on any channel here. Thank you for taking us along on this project.
I was 46 years young when I learned the playing card paint trick! The Interwebs teaches you stuff everyday
Absolute amazing what the both of you did with this abandoned Motorhome !!! No DIY but Professionals !!! She is a beauty and the colors you choose are so in harmony and making the inside modern but still with a little twist of the seventies ! My compliments and i hope that you and your Family will great adventures with this Motorhome !!! Love all your videos and enjoy very much !! See you the next video !!
I have been waiting for this update !!! so awesome
Plaid looks amazing and matches the interior perfectly! Please stay on plaid! Please!
You two killed this build. I love all the work you've done! Seeing the final touches just brings it all together.
Hi Mike and his Dad 👨 and the kids nice video 📹 and workmanship
The burnt orange tweed would be good, Michael! One thing about a check or pattern is that it hides spills and stains a little better than a solid colour. The interior and all the modern gizmos you have installed are super. You are amazingly creative and talented.
Been watching for a couple years now....Seems Dad quietly brings a serious skill set to your projects . I'm guessing somewhat, but especially to measurements and planning / plotting the " Cuts ".
He sure does, he’s been a CNC machinist for 30years.
This project has been awesome. I'm glad you stuck to it to 'getter done'. The Best part is that it belongs to you and your family alone and has NO monthly RV note attached
Thanks for sharing this project with us in UA-cam land.
You and your Dad should be extremely proud of yourselves . Going to look the bee's knee's when its finished ,I can't wait for one and I can think of at least 3 more as well . Well done .
Holley Sniper would be an awesome, easy way to do EFI on that big motor!!
the last 5 minutes were what makes it all worthwhile You are a great dad and granddad
Have to agree, loving this series!
Its wonderful to see you and your dad working together (not all families are like that)!
Its a hard slog, no doubt, but keep going and all the sweat, tears and black nails will be forgotten the first evening under the stars, you'll see!
It was great to see your children's excitement! That's what this is about!
Love what you do!

Great job with camper, the old GMC's are making a big comeback. My opinion for seat and front seats, peanut butter leather. The leather will dress the inside of that camper and bring it into the 21st century.
Great job!!!
Dad is one hell of a carpenter.
And a man of few words
Sin dudas es el mejor trabajo que hicieron y los videos de la RV son lejos los mejores.
It already looks so nice, Michael - and your children love it❤. The greatest project on this channel if you asking me. Love and peace. Yours Ulf
Been watching this entire series, awesome stuff. I didn't go all-out as much on my beloved 1985 Fleetwood Omega Prowler, but did my share of work and upgrades on her. She ain't big nor small--31 feet, easily sleeps 6. Being single and a loner, it's quite the dual-axle castle for me. By the way, it's not a motorhome, it's a travel trailer. Structurally, the Prowler is well taken care of and sound. Did upgrade/modernize things like the microwave and fridge, lights, etc.. Left the original 4 burner stove in it, it still works great--has an oven too. It's an original Magic Chef. The fridge is a Dometic, only electric, not LP. The original rooftop Coleman AC works sometimes, it needs replacing anyway, it likes to pop the circuit breaker. The uphostery and all the furniture--also original and it great shape for 1985. I'm second owner of this rig. The holding tanks and overall plumbing and fixtures, all still work like new, I didn't have to touch them whatsoever. Even the toilet is mint condition. The elderly couple prior only took it out a handful of times a year, bouncing between Arizona and Colorado. When not in use, it was sheltered. Still have the original paperwork and service records and owner's manual.
Watching BB's GMC RV build has given me ideas and education which I can apply to keeping my rig going for years to come.
I'd keep the plaid upholstery, but the orange tweed is your choice, so all is good!
Amazing unit...I'm not sure how to describe the colour choices back to front...looks like hotel to pub to disco... Excellent! Cheers guys! Def, a fun rig!
We would skip putting in a dinette and would duplicate the bunk/couch on the opposite wall. TV trays make for great stow-away tables and there is also the option of using a Lagun table base between the couches if you don't want to use TV trays.
The white interior is certainly the way to go to reflect all the light.
The only bug bear I have is the orange seat, a grey tartan would be nice.
Fantastic progress, and I just have to say: your dad is an absolute genius with measuring complex shapes! The work you did with cutting out the panels for around the windows was amazing!
Love the work you have put in. Even though it's from the 70's, I would prefer the interior to be cleaner and more modern, use some light colored wood and muted grays.
Maybe also wood vynil on the door to break the big white surface? Anyway, it all looks fantastic, congrats on your work -and taste!
You.should.go.with.EFI!
Also.use.tinted.film.to.reduce.heat.and.add.safety!
Your kids are so happy
Michael absolutely excellent job! love the creative persistance!!
Been loving watching this thing progress. But the best part was watching the kids enjoying it!
It's nice to see how well the camper is coming along. Also, apparently it's been so long since I moved away from SC that I'd forgotten just how ridiculously loud cicadas are. XD
Franklin, NC! Do some ruby mining with the family. Lots of camp sites up there. Beautiful build from great people!
I am a BIG fan of the orange tweed - with all of the whites, grays and faux wood, it's a great and happy contrast color. Wanna break up all of that white back there? Vanity wall - the "Wagner" nameplate up top on the wall, and each immediate family member's first initial in varying sizes based on Dad, Mom, Pop and kiddoes from 1st to last scattered about the wall. Thin letters can be glued to the wall - a family tribute motorhome. Cheers!!!
The white wall could be broken up by 2 orange horizontal lines either top, mid or low done in about 5-6 cm in width. Help to break it up and keep the 70s theme going. 😎
You two really won’t get the pleasure it gives me when a new video comes out. Thank you!
Love everything except the coffee colored blinds - I think white would blend better with everything and really make the orange seats pop - my two cents - great job!
