    Love these ole retro vehicles.. very nostalgic.. I hope most have been restored and given another lease of life.. I am always watching Race With the Devil starring Peter Fonda & Warren Oats.. What a brick, I love it.

    How crazy!!! We just bought THIS EXACT Brave, as in the one in THIS video, about a month ago. Already started the full restoration! She now lives in San Diego - we named her Daisy, the Raving Bago. Look for her at EDC Las Vegas, Nocturnal Wonderland, etc....

    One thing that has always bugged me is that these kind of vehicles often has really short wheel axles like yours. Why is that??? The wheels could be like half a meter further out? Especially the front axle? It must handle like shit because of this, right? Not trying to diss your RV I'm just interested and couldn't find any good answer on google so I thought I'd just ask one of you guys...

      jeff hammers simply not true. We’ve owned, restored and sold at least 6 different early 70s Winnebago’s. Sure they’ll fall apart if they just sit out in the rain for 40 years without being resealed, but what rv wouldn’t? Also, after cleaning and painting this Winny, it sold for $4k. The restoration process will be up on our channel soon if you’d like to take some notes.
