What an amazing video Craig, I’ve supported since the start of the 71 f100 build and can truly say this was one of my favorites ever. You should totally do more road trips in unknown classics!! All respect and love!

the wingnut for the breather was on the passenger fender before he shut the hood at 6:13 or so it looked like it was this things pretty mint tip the generator brushes are probably out which is why it wont put out anything (a way to tell is fire it up if it seems like its revving high the generator needs new brushes) if its not there fuses behind the control panel that may have popped

Ok, Craig, I've always considered a road trip a real test for a relationship. You survived a lengthy ordeal in a vintage RV, with numerous issues, no A/C, and you're been together 2 years? Start looking at rings. She's a Saint!

Somebody's trying to one-up Solomon.....hehe. 😉Seriously, once you drove up it looked like a Solomon find. Ford's galore.

6.4 mpg is solid for a 460. Running good. If you hit 7.5, probably had the wind at your back.

Ready to see what you bought from the Soddy collocation

That thing is sweet and perfect for the San Diego since it’s in Padres’ colors.

This thing is NICE!!! I’m almost 48 years old and I don’t remember ever seeing these things THIS clean!

I had a Ford back in the day and I traveled a lot. My mechanic rebuilt my carb and put the smallest jets possible in it and it got great mileage. Still had all the power. Nice truck.

Hello I just found your channel and I have to say I love your Rv its beautiful

i would love to take something like this, then complete redo the interior and make it look BRAND SPANKIN NEW!

We own a 1997 Mazda Bongo camper and I'm a certified zip tie technician 😂, they are what is holding the camper together.

We had one of these when I was a kid. Super badass! Ours had red interior and paint. This is totally giving me flashbacks. Hooray for country campers!

Great looking ride. Good luck to anyone finding the same one in such nice condition anywhere. 👍

Way cool. You never cease to impress. Thanks for sharing

U give me so much motivation to go work on my truck I’m 15 and have learned so much by watching your videos I have a 1986 f150 two door short bed 5 litter 2wd and I love watching your videos thanks for helping me and I hope to meet u some day

The Adjustment you made to the Steering Box is not for reducing play in steering wheel side to side (although it will help) that Adjust is for Preload on the shaft in the box to help keep steering wheel on center. If over Adjusted it will increase effort needed to turn steering wheel or make steering stick if way over adjusted. Hope this Helps.

i spent my whole childhood in the front bunk of one of those at Glamis. very cool camper.

I really enjoyed watching this. Great Job Thanks for Sharing. 😎👍

Great video. That generator probably runs off the main tanks of the RV. Looks like an Onan, so if did not have oil it would not start. Enjoy the trip.

A year after the video was posted, but informative and easy listening. And I agree …. It’s a good looking old rig.

Wow, 45 Years Young🚌& You'al Are Going Home🏡🛻On A Big Wing🛩& A Big Prayer🙏WOW😅! I Would Be Conerned About Driving Just 1 Mile Down The Road🛣. You Got Some Mosta🐂Balls To Take This Trip🛣Delivery😱! Good Luck🤠

Really nice old camper. Great video and first time viewer on your channel. Seen you on Junkyard Digs and came over to jump on board!

About 45 mins from my house is a 1971 Bump side version of this. It's been sitting in the same spot for at least 5 years that I know of. Given the age /era of this truck. I'm kinda surprised that the fog lights are not Per-Lux's. They were the in thing back when this truck was new. I always wanted a pair but could never afford some.

I have found on my 25 foot 1994 class A Winnebago Warrior Chevy 454 that if I use Chevron I get 10 to 11 miles a gallon. If I use other gas it goes from 5 to 8 gallons. Chevron makes a big difference. I have been living and traveling in my going on 5 years now filming my adventures. I have tried other gas and keep track of my mileage and Chevron is always 10 to 11 miles a gallon if I don’t go over 60 miles an hour at 75 or 80 or uphill it can go down to 8 or 9 but that is still really good! I love my happy 454 Chevy motor! Great video nice old camper!

Sweet rig. Love the paint scheme. I see that Bronco and thought maybe you were buying that

Vary awesome indeed. Vary sweet camper. Awesome. Keep up the great work. Okay.

That’s cool that you got to experience this trip with your girl, can’t wait for part 2

More please! Awesome RV. Makes me want one

You're in a unicorn. Back in the 70s there were a lot of small companies that took Ford 350s and built custom campers on them. I think most ended up in retirement parks or around lakes as weekend getaways. That is a beautiful restoration vehicle that's already in great shape. Gas mileage of 6.5 is great for that vehicle. My dad's 1990 f250 got about 5 pulling a boat. It had the 460 which was an awesome truck

Such a killer find! Love it. Thank you for bringing us along 🙌

I just found your channel. I subscribed. Very nice Camper. Good luck. Take care, EM.

Hey Craig that’s awesome I love the 1976 or 77 Ford F-350 motor home looks like it’s in pretty nice shape I live in Eugene Oregon that’s awesome that you was here I wish I knew you was coming here I would of love to of meet ya guys I love cars and trucks to anyways nice motor home yes you should definitely get you one of these or maybe that one I hope to see more of this home on wheels vehicle on your channel my friend or maybe another one if you get one some of are old vehicles here are pretty nice some do rust a little bit but not to bad and then some have no rust we don’t use salt here on the roads in the winter time here on the west coast or up here in the north western states and if we have a classic vehicle we can pump our own gas here if we want to I just letting you know that my friend anyways I’m glad you was here I hope you enjoyed your trip to the beautiful state of Oregon and got to see good sites be careful out there and be safe and have a good trip out there buddy:-) and I think these old motor homes or campers are getting rare and hard to fine to especially in really nice looking good running shape to

Nice rig. 👏 That High Boy was very nice as well.

That RV is mint!! The radiator might be clogged up or the water pump is flowing? Anyway nice Truck!! That looks brand new. You'll get it fixed-- you're wicked smart!!

You remind me of Kiefer Sutherland good luck to you buddy God bless you. Mey the wind always be at your back

Try upgrading your carburetor to fuel injection and change the gear ratio in your axle. It should help your fuel economy go up

Cool RV, I had a ‘77 Ranger, good old work truck. My son has a ‘78 Ranger that we restored 20 years ago..

Inspect and check your hard line and fuel hoese for leaks from the tank to the carb, also make sure you don't have any propane leaks.

Yeah even though it rains alot up here we actually have solid cars up here but also we don't salt the roads up here so yaaay for us👍

That camper is lookin' RIGHT!!

Love that vintage RV , I live not far from Lebanon , OR. I wish I would have found that , I would have bought it !

Can't stop laughing at the ending " yeah- there you go ... Oh- maybe not". 🤣

If you drove to Eastern KS, people would assume you were driving to LMC for an F350 rebuild kit. LMAO! 🤣😂

I for one am not into the "retro" camper stuff.. I am old I remember these things.. But I like this truck! Very Kool!!

This is such a cool old rig love the way it looks

Head up north I5 into Washington to exit 56 area is a guy name Ben Reaves. Has a beautiful ford boneyard right off the freeway. At least 50 rigs waiting for you!

That was an awesome cliffhanger!!!

That's a great rig. It must be rare because most of the ones I've seen are on a E series (van) platform.

Oh man i love it. I would actually looove to have one of those. Never had a proper vacation in my life. If I had one of those, I sure would. Get me a tiny car to pull behind it and just GO.

Thecraig909 you should definitely buy this and do a cleaning and build videos this truck is sweet

Definitely an awesome and amazing video 🇬🇧🧐🥇🔥👏

Wow nice find bro that's a nice unit.

Awesome video man, u visited the Bay Area! Great! And u also visited near me in Portland! I moved to the Seattle area 18 years ago, but NorCal is my true home! Great vlog bro

Man that thing is clean. Buckets in a 73-79 weren't rare. Many many 78-79 broncos came with buckets. 😂

Cool Vintage RV 😎

Cool looking RV 😎.

Never saw your vids before the recent ole notch fox revivals and now this...awesome stuff and now a subscriber lol

Always loved the split grilles on the 76-77 fords going to buy me one day and diesel swap it. Might even swap a 76/77 front clip on a late 70s bronco when they went to match the truck design

That’s bad ass, right in my back yard sweet home Lebanon area👌👌🤌🏻

Understand channel, keep it up!

Damn! I work at the Atlantic FBO right next door to PDX haha

Cool old Camper. :)

Hell yeah talking about jellyroll on the radio

Do the math, at 10 mpg tops. Hope it has duel tanks. Your'e going to need them just to get to the next fueling station through the great open West. LOL A really beautiful well kept F350. Nice catch!

Sick !!! I have a Bull nose Ford 1981 camper very similar to this one ! I’ve been building it on my channel and if your looking for one mine is up for sale ! I haven’t posted anything in a few months but he’s complete! Made a few trips across the country with no issues 🤘🏻

God that's just awesome, I'd love to own that beauty 👍👍👍

Very cool camper

Nice nice looking camper there that's the kind you'd want

One of my old school vehicles has the grill zip tied in because the tabs were snapped off, it’s still holding on 5 years later

looks like everyone was enjoying the trip until it was time for bed...hope it worked out ok

Love this thing. How much was the other F truck?

The town of Brownsville was in the movie Stand By Me. Parts of Lebanon were also in the film

Nice camper for sure i would like to have one like it

Nice RV, should be a fun trip. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍

Very interesting body style . I am surprised it ran as good as it did .

That's the clearest day ever at SFO

next time you visit Oregon you have to see Bend!

You two are funny. Sweet ride.

Back in 1977 gas was 57 cents a gallon ,or somewhere in that range . My motor home get a little better... but its a 2007. Nice motor home though! Well kept .

Thats an awesome RV!

That was a fun trip

that camper still looks new other than the headlight and couple of other things. It looks like the 70’s are still here I doubt whoever had it all these years used it much. they probally bought it and took their kids out when they are teenagers and they realized that their kids hate them and it got parked with only like 20k miles on it! I bought an old farm truck a 106k mile 1994 F-150 4x4 reg cab SB 5.0 5 speed. it needs a little cosmetic work cuz it was a farm truck and got used chasing cattle. its nothing too bad. trucks get used and its next to impossible to find a 30 year old truck that doesn’t have a couple of dings and dents or a scratch here or there. Good thing is its bulletproof drivetrain and low mileage plus the farmer took really good care of it too. I get 18mpg with it too!

You missed the best..bagby hot springs..In the mountains..Great place to camp..

nice old bus dont have that jenny on when you go to bed it will keep you awake all night ✌👍😎

Unless someone swapped blinker lenses, that’s a 77. Could show a late build 76 on the VIN sticker on the door jamb. I bought a truck from a guy a few years ago and he was selling it as a 76. Ended up being a 77. That’s a cherry of a truck, minus the gas mileage I would love it! Was awesome you were able to share the trip with your girl. 👌🏻

The seller should have told you about the gas gauge before you traveled to see it knowing you were going to be driving it home. I bought a classic 75 GMC Vandura from socal and planned to drive it back to the SF bay area. He had only 3 lug nuts on the rh rear wheel and I had to drive it to the local wheel shop and buy lug nuts. Nice looking rig though! 😎🏁

I kinda want a vintage camper, they're so cool.

It’s always a good idea to have someone drive back with you so I always take myself and my sister in my car she follows me back in my car in case something happens to the older rig on the way home you might need a ride to the auto parts or you might need a tow either way you could need a motel

Oohh myyy..man I want this thing so bad!

That thing is mint

Don't know if you will see this message but I was wondering where the guy said he got the 16.5 in tires from. Unfortunately that is the size I have on my 1985 E350 460 Ford RV I just bought. It is a beautiful RV but I wished my ex would have checked the mechanical part of it a lot better. I knew it needed the wiring harness either replaced or spiced back together and your regular oil, plugs, wires, filters and belts but not what I have ran into so far. I kinda wish I didn't buy it. I know its built better then the newer ones with the laminated siding but if I had just a bit more money I could have bought a newer one that ran and drove. But I guess even though this one is older then the one I bought ran it just shows they can break down regardless of the age. Im just afraid I won't have enough money to fix this. I mean it has been sitting for 29 years so I should have figured it would have problems but my ex said he could get it running. Guess that is a wait and see.... Lol But he just pulled the back tank and it was completely rusted through and he said you could put your finger through the steel where it was so soft. And the guy I bought it off of said it had a plastic tank. I questioned the guy about it and he swore it had a plastic gas tank and then my ex said that newer cars use plastic and I said this isn't new, it's old. But again something he should have checked before I bought it. Because if he checked it and told the guy he was a couple bubbles off that it is steal I would have walked away and not looked back because that is one thing I can't stand is a liar and a thief. But now I'm stuck with it as of now. So I'm looking at a wiring harness that I found for $100 to be safe. A rear fuel tank. A rear fuel pump, front fuel pump, fuel pump on the frame. Battery for the engine, the guy said he just put a new battery in it, so all I can figure is that he took it out and put a junk one in it. I had to buy a new starter. Even though he said it turned over and I get it to my ex's and there's nothing so he looks and the starter is being held on by one bolt. So only thing I can figure is that he took that back off also. The battery for the generator and fridge. And this is just the beginning. I just pray that it's not going to be any worse then it is already. If I could sell it for what I paid for it I would sell it except I wouldn't lie to people with what is wrong with it or take parts off of it. Now if the guy didn't take the parts off then I'm sorry for thinking and saying it. But how can it be this when it's at his place and completely different when I get it to my ex's house? Anyhow sorry for going on and on about the rv but I need to know of a cheap place to get those 16.5 tires or what size could I put on it that would work and not be an odd ball size and cost me an arm and a leg to get tires. Thank you. God bless 🙏💞🙏

How fun ... too cool! 💕👵

That was MT. Hood. Fun fact: actually an active volcano. I'm in Portland so we love taking the jeep up there to sling mud and snow😎

The A/C in this is a Ford dealer installed unit. As you can see, there's no plenum housing underneath the hood.

What's really cool is you're just outside Salem and Tweakers haven't stole that and made it into a pile of garbage on the side of some road.

Hi, could you tell me what music you are playing at 2:23. I think it might be from the youtube music library. thank you.

Great now I want one now

I’d drive it that’s awesome what was the first Ford camper
