As a truck driver I always top my tanks off in Arizona before going into Cali! Usually enough for me to go in and deliver my load, get reloaded and stop at the first Love’s on my way out
Rented an RV with the Ford V10 engine a couple of years ago. Down and up the West Coast it drank 950 liters of petrol, and managed a fuel consumption of just under 3 litres per European mil. In mpg that is 7,8
That was some road trip. Hard to comprehend 2500 mile road trip here in the UK, (that's like going from Lands end, Cornwall to John O Groats, Scotland and back twice) Most I ever did in one go was from northern Germany to mid Italy, which took about 30 hours. Nice vid look forward to the repairs.
As a truck driver I made 2 round trips a month and sometimes 3 to California to Pennsylvania and loved it especially when you get out passed the Mississippi River.
Thanks friend for sharing the tremendous marathon from California to Carolina. Tremendous journey, but it was worth it. The restoration will surely be something light and fast.👍
You two are doing a great lesson with your your constant walk around inspections. This was taught to me long ago before CDLs were around. Great job. Now, get back to SC.
Thank you IVAN for taking us all on your road trip love what you do Watching in England UK so found the country interesting look forward to you and Mike working your magic
Loved the scenery and all the views. It is a shame the awning came adrift but at least it didn't fly away and hit another vehicle. So glad you made it back all that way without too many issues Ivan. Take care and have a rest. 👍👍
Yes I would have done that. On bigger tires like you have. Once a tire where starts you can't change it. It a nice looking coach. 7 mile to the gallon not bad at all. Great video.
I saw on the speedometer that this thing only has 12,500 miles. Oh, it's almost brand new. You'll make With no problems. I don't know what you paid, but you probably got a good deal on this one👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Good luck.🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞✌✌
As hot as it was, even with the dash a/c running, why didn't you have your upper dash fans positioned towards you and on for better air flow in the cockpit? And since you taped up the refrig vent on the roof, the side vent is not enough to keep the unit cool in that heat, but guess you found that out. BTW, below the refrig is the furnace/heater if not known yet. The awning.....that was a disaster. I'm not all the way through with this so I hope it gets better for you! I-40 is the shortest route through Texas, otherwise it will take a couple of days (middle or southern route) almost! Georgetown's usually have a 75-80 gallon tank. Had one for 17 years.
I drove cross country to my university in the 1980's. There were so many bugs I had to travel with a roll of paper towels and Windex to stop and clean them off the windshield every few hundred miles. Shame you couldn't spend a night near the Grand Canyon. I would budget time to stop and see the sights, especially if you don't plan to be out that way again for the foreseeable.
Probably just built up dust on your heat exchanger burning off on the three-way fridge which normally vents out the roof that you covered up due to the damage
If ya need a new awning. Save the parts that fit in the tracks and find a place that makes those industrial covered building. They can remake you a trap for the awning at 1/4 the cost of a factory one.. they will out last the motor home...
You guys keep getting these van/heavy duty front gas engine chassis RVs, I'm wondering when you'll trade them all in for a full coach/pusher diesel chassis like you one time looked at and step into real comfort, class, and ride.
My parents took one down to Arkansas from Michigan I think it was 1600 miles round trip it was 70 cents a gallon it was over 1200 dollars for fuel, gas that is They where pulling a trailer also
I would have avoided trying the slide-outs till I got to the destination, if you ended up with one that wouldn't retract your trip would have been over quickly. I also might have gotten an oil change before setting off just because who knows what the history on that is.
Wow welcome to Delano California ✌💚
Nice he Stopped to get IN-N-OUT & grabbed a Burger in my Hometown DELANO CALIFORNIA…nice 😊

Great trip, Ivan. Can't wait to see you guys do the restoration. Take care, thanks😊
Glad Ivan had a safe journey!
The first loves truck stop was in Madera, just down the road from my parents house. Glad to see you made it back. Keep up the good work ...
That was quite the trip! Thank you for taking us along.

Enjoyed the motor home trip video. Need to do some more of these.

19400 is what he paid before fees
Nice buy.! I’m from Sacramento, and I wanted to play it but didn’t get a chance to view it… lucky you got it much cheaper.! Lol. 🇺🇦

Great deal 👍👍👍
7 mpg sounds like our cars from the 70s. But riding in a rv is definitely more sweet
Hi Ivan nice camper, beautiful scenery, glad you made it home safely, waiting for the repairs and the great reviled, thanks for sharing stay safe
Some brave guys
Shoot that is a fun adventure. I love driving so it's no big deal. Great deal on that RV. 👍
good job Ivan,👌
Good deal. 👍 🙏
Nice video work for this trip with the motorhome across Southern US.
Ivan the great. Well done 👍
Thanks for that, very enjoyable……I thought it would have been worthwhile showing more of your journey home.
Great deal guys!
Really cool stuff man thanks for the great video adventure look forward to seeing more of your travels
Mike used one of the snap pads to cover up the water shut off valve He was tired of falling in it . SCRUBS say NIKO BROS OTAY .
cool trip loved the scenery
Well at least this RV was in lot better shape than the last one you drove back from there lol
Love road trip vids! Good job Ivan!
nice man good deal ever 🎉
good buy
Good content Ivan👍 I enjoyed it my friend ✌️✌️
I thought it would be cooler 😂😂. You're in Arizona, where it hovers near 100° at 3AM in the summer.
Nice rig wont take much to get it all fixed up
Great road trip
You all pass me up at clines corners in New Mexico
Nice
That’s a good- looking R.V. that should sell quickly if you put it on the market. Well worth fixing up, or maybe the Family will want it?
Nice rig low mileage maybe when you turned on the propane the smell was maybe dust burning off the coals for the fridge raider

Luv the vids as you fix them up
Nice 👍

Ivan: I too like to live Dangerously 😀
I would like to drive that rig home!
At 8:20 nice pic of sun setting. That has me confused. You are driving back East, but the Sun which sets in the West is on your nose?….
He was getting on the freeway that was west of the Truck stop.

That was a long tripon your own Ivan
Yes it was
Doesn't the fridge work off AC or DC as well?
Does it have a generator on board?
What kind of tag did you have. just asking
Let's see a camping video in this one once it's fixed.
Seafoam is used in the throttle body
You probably taped up the roof vent for the refrigerator
❤❤
And Just Like That
👍
Tell us how you got the awning inside??
My parents took one down to Arkansas from Michigan I think it was 1600 miles round trip it was 70 cents a gallon it was over 1200 dollars for fuel, gas that is They where pulling a trailer also
Do you have to get temporary licenses to drive across country in so many different states
The tape covering up the fridge vent/ exhaust on the roof is burning off. That is the cause of the burnt smell .
You need to turn that gas like 360 degrees. Max. It's for safety if something happens you can easily turn it off.
laughing at him taping up the refer vent..and then turning it on..he should have left it open...
Driving down the road it won't matter if it is taped up
What route did Ivan take coming from California?
The 99 from sac to bako, then 58 east to the I40 all the way to SC.
How long is the RV. and what year?
If you don't like Texas weather just wait a minute
How much fuel did you use during the trip in total ?
How much did it cost in gas for the trip?
That gas expensive? Damn... We pay about double in The Netherlands for gasoline... I wish we had these prices 😅
Driving thru Texas isnt quick unless your on I 40 going to OKLAHOMA then yea lol
10 mpg😮😮 Surely it would be beneficial to convert to LPG? It's not a performance vehicle.... Would it be cheaper??
Trying to work out how he got that huge awning inside the RV. And, FYO 2500 miles is twice the longest trip you can make in mainland UK...
Wassup
“Gas prices are kinda high”, they are ridiculous compared to the rest of the country. So how much did you spend on fuel for this trip?
You think that’s bad move to the U.K. it would be £300 / $381 for 44gal
Gas prizes in the Netherlands are much higher then in the USA
@@it52mykn33$375 in Canada. It's stupid expensive.
What year is the r, v?
I would have avoided trying the slide-outs till I got to the destination, if you ended up with one that wouldn't retract your trip would have been over quickly. I also might have gotten an oil change before setting off just because who knows what the history on that is.
steering wheels and gauges match my 2000 f-150..
how mucht did you spend on GAS?
Drive across country in a damaged RV, no problem he has a roll of Gorilla Tape & energy drinks.
So what if u have a newmar motorhome and the jacks are square will they still work jack pads
Today on nico brothers......yet another another another another another another another another another another another frickin r.v.
You think those gas prices are high, here in the UK, 44 gallons would have cost you not far short of $400!!!
might be the slide.
