    Josh. For shits and giggles I looked into what it would take to put an Overdrive behind that 454. Looks like you can install a 4L80 with a standalone controller. The controller doesn't look to be too expensive and of course a stock GM trans are pretty common. Could be worth looking into.

    • @tinycalandra7818
      @tinycalandra7818 2 роки тому +1

    • @s.gossett5966
      @s.gossett5966 2 роки тому +1

      @@tinycalandra7818 I like the GV and a sniper will definitely help with mileage. But Shadetree has said many times he is limited by a budget. So it seemed to me that a 4L80 or 4L80E would be relatively cheap and could offer some benefits for mileage.
      A good tune up and a knowledgeable carb person could definitely take a little edge off the numbers, though I wouldn't expect any miracles.

So many have rough experiences in foster care. I have some stories that would probably make you mad as hell, but I like the good stories better. Love the new RV!! You need to come up my way. I live just east of Asheville in Marion NC. Some amazing roads up here. I’ve got a 99 Road Glide that I tear them up with weekly. We’ve got the Blue Ridge Parkway, NC80, NC226A.

The money you save from Hotel rooms, eating out, drinking out, plus being able to just sit outside your RV under those amazing night skies in places, totally offsets the gas cost. Having an all in one mobile studio/office/garage/shelter will allow you the added time to enjoy the scenery.

    You can check the alt by removing the neg cable on the batt while the vehicle is running. If the vehicle continues to run with the batt disconnected, then the alt is probably good. Also if the alt is bad, it would take less than a day of travel to suck a charged batt dry. 👍

    My Brother owns an older RV with a 454 in it we have done many road trips with it , we found that with the cruise control set at 65 mph you don't stress the engine as much and get a little better gas mileage, those RV's push lot of air , also when you get in the mountains its a good idea to have a tach , so you can drive the tach and save the engine that 454 's torque range is between 1800 and 2200 RPM . Have fun and safe travels .

    Did the same exact thing with a 1985 “aristocrat” lol. A few miles down the road and it dies in the middle of the road blocking two lanes due to no gas…… found out later it had a cracked gas line in the tank so if it dipped below 3/4 of a tank it would start to die. Lots of learning and living.

    What a killer deal on a vintage Winnie!! Love Y'all's plans for it too.
    Swapping to a 4 speed 4l80e would likely help the mileage, as it offers not only an overdrive gear, but a lockup torque converter as well, eliminating slippage at highway speeds. 10/10 a recommended upgrade to ease the pain at the gas pump.

    That thing is awesome, and an amazingly fun adventure to go with it 🤘

    Congratulations Shadetree! I remember you making a video some years ago, where you went to an rv show. I remember you saying one day. Well....your someday has arrived. Good luck with it.

    What a cool ride! My wife and I just purchased an RV ourselves for the same purpose! We've been trying to make it out to the campouts since y'all started them and haven't been able to make it happen just yet. It's going to happen though! Cheers mate!

    You bought me a beer at your bar when i was stationed at macdill in tampa. When you roll that road train through montana, let a guy know so i can return the favor! And bring a dirt bike or two along so we can show you some mountain riding!

    Had complete confidence it would make it home. It's all downhill from Flint to Tampa. Make it a true roach coach, cut a window on the side, and server glizzies. 😁
