    I’ve gotten a 1985 Coachman completely demolished and I thought it would be a smooth start but so much water damage underneath the walls

    Love this. I just bought a 1984 chevy jamboree. Tearing the roof off now because it was leaking. Hopefully everything will go well for me. 😁

    Honestly that RV looks stunning for its age. I’ve seen ones that look way better on the outside but are completely rotten on the inside. You definitely scored on this one.

      I have a 1973 Dodge RV Winnebago. It is ugly outside and dissent inside. Needs hot water pipes replaced and fix the water pump. The weather has gotten to it.

    *The Ford '460' is an indestructible monster...but VERY thirsty!*
    *The cast-iron 'C-6' transmission is also reliable as long as the 'bands' aren't over-stressed from steep-climbing while 'floored'*
    ----------------------
    *Looks like what it is...an endless $$$$$$$$$ funnel and tons of re-hab in and out*
    ( *I haven't had an 'RV' in years and can no longer afford one on 'SS' money and can't think of anywhere to go and scared of 'break-downs' I can't possibly pay-for, especially something that won't fit a standard lift in most garages* )

    What type of coolant does it take? I just bought a 1976 Chevy Rv and I’m wondering if the orange coolant is dex cool or not. Also why brake cleaner and water into the carb vs starter fluid?

    • @thehonestmechanic
      @thehonestmechanic  2 роки тому +1

      I used a coolant that is safe for aluminum since my radiator is aluminum. I don't think it's necessarily to run something like dexcool

    • @thehonestmechanic
      @thehonestmechanic  2 роки тому +2

      As for starting the engine for the first time, all we had was brake cleaner. Starting fluid is better of course. The water bottle had gasoline in it.

    Sorry but can't help noticing that you guys have a desire to get your fingers burned 🤕the way you guys spill feul while trying to start the rv and adding feul into the carburettor while cranking the engine. Hey guys, what happens to safety first?🤷

      Lol. I have already done a carb clean and installed a new kit. During cleaning, I broke the one mixture screw. It runs better than ever but it's no longer properly adjustable
