    @justinjoyit13 3 роки тому +9

    15k is pretty good- would part out at least double that. In my opinion the best way and cheapest bang for buck to fix it would be get a used motorhome cab and swap it- ideally from a rear end wreck so it is cheap or just any E450 etc as it is just a truck at the end of the day.

    Van parts will be easy to get, looks like a passenger door, windshield, fender, hood, grill, bumper, and cab. The RV parts, like the forward body fiberglass will be hard to come by. The roof and sides are probably thin plywood. All that finish material on the inside that's damaged might have to be customized. Good luck to your friend.

    $15K? WOW stupid great deal!!! Throw about $25K at it in parts and paint , some labor time and you got a $80K RV for 1/2 price. Plus the fun of repairing it, what's bad about that?

  • @vandersnickmcduffle7333
    @vandersnickmcduffle7333 3 роки тому +12

  • @janissarywalker6312
    @janissarywalker6312 3 роки тому +9

    I was guessing it was a tree that did the damage and I was right. I'm very interested in how you are going to repair the roof and front portion to this RV. At $15K you could part it out and still make a sizable profit.

    I'm sure the police here in the UK would pull you over in no time, they hide then pounce! It does look repairable but probably a new front end. He may not know until he starts to take it apart. Save the piece of tree and when it's done use it as an ornament. Great video Brothers.

    Paid $15,000, round to $20,000. Cost $80,000. Thats 25% on the dollar or 75% off. It's going to take time and money to repair. When you're finished, you're back at 50% off for a smashed and repaired RV. Was it worth the time and effort?

    Very nice, looks like an interesting project although some of the spare parts needed may prove difficult to source, so how good of a deal this actually is, remains to be seen.
    Speaking of "remains to be seen", one comment said you have too many loose ends, and I think it would be a good idea to have status updates on all projects at regular intervals, not "hidden away" in the middle of an episode, but as full update episodes, where you describe the current challenges for each project, as well as some sort of guesstimate for the future timeline.
    Personally I'm really wondering about the rv with heavy front end damage, where you couldn't get the engine to work properly. I think you've said in a later episode, that you still "intend" to restore it, but it's been a long time now, so any updates?
