On the dash left side by the headlight switch is a battery boost button. It uses the camper batteries to help the engine battery start the engine when weak. I have that same Bounder only shorter version.

At first when I saw the roof I thought RUN!! but you guys proved me wrong and did an excellent job, its looking sound and purposeful now, well done.

Having that warehouse is a huge advantage. Great job!

This is why having a good relationship with your parents helps. Your dad could've just said, "No."

Nice work! It’s coming together!

A very inspiring video man. Fun to watch an old motor home come back to life.

The most anticipated video on your channel, ever. It did not disappoint

Please ,please when you are overhauling use eye protection and N95 masks so you protect your lungs. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.

I'm loving the saga of the $1000 RV. I just bought a 89 regatta that looks just like this. The repair videos are helping me with my restoration...THANK YOU!

10 minutes per week just is not enough of you................

I’m glad I found someone who’s remodeling one I want everyone else has a class c or a newer model

Motorhomes are so unique , I have a 94 fleetwood south wind , it’s very spacious and nice , also vintage style which is fine with me .

I mean, now that you've already stripped the roof down it's perfectly primed for a sunroof!

It’s going to smell a whole lot better after that roof and ceiling job.

Definitely a labor of love on this project. 💯

What a great project. I am sure you are super excited to have it.

Nice work. Love that Ole squarebody chevy parked behind the rv too

Good job maneuvering this massive RV without any side mirrors!

Hey I'm super happy and proud to see this beauty get some much deserved love thank you for doing it and restoring her to her glory I'm a fan

Wow! This inspires me. I didn't think it was that simple. One day I'll probably buy a beater and fix it up like this. These would be such great RVs if they were in good condition. There aren't enough left so we need more people like you saving them.

Awesome camper! Thanks for the upload!

Not really an issue now, but this spring you might re-caulk all the seams on outside of the RV, the vent covers, around the AC and remove that antenna and plug the hole.

Yea, you're back to it. Impressive work you'll be proud of. Continue next time.

Looks like both end caps are leaking up on the roof, That is a very common problem and possibly the AC units need new base gaskets. Looks like the back window was also leaking, There again a very common problem with those windows they have small slot drains that get plugged up then the water comes inside. Be sure to get those end cap seams cleaned out real well then reseal them with some Dicor or some eternibond tape......Good luck you have some work ahead of you.

We have the same model. Bought it from Dad in good condition. Hubby added another battery under the hood to help it start. Works like a charm!

Happy to watch the process

You got a lot of work done there. Well done!

Thanks for that, always enjoy the refurbs.

The rv is coming along good, you're doing great work fixing it up!

He's driving a Breaking Bad camper at night in the snow. Be careful the cops are watching you now. 🤣🤣

Great progress !

Watching from Southwest Florida. Great Project restoration.

Love your RV stuff and I am really enjoying the restoration videos..Keep them coming! I'm in England and have never seen that model RV before. I'd love to fix up one of those. Regards. Steve.

For my 80th birthday got rid of mine, years living with that stupid canvas roof that constantly needed treatment. One thing the builders of this thing completely forgot is maintenance, like access to then engine, master cylinder, and hydraboost unit. Buried all this stuff with that motorhome stuff. With a carb, bowl is filled with gas and vented, in less than a week carb blow is empty, with an engine driven fuel pump, lot of cranking before it will start, added an electric fuel pump, run that for about 15 seconds, then would pop right off. For ignition timing with the 454, timing marks are on the bottom, distributor on top, takes two to adjust initial timing, can't be at both places at the same time, and the inductive pickup goes to cylinder #8, not number one. Mice got in my HVAC system, dash was on top an eight foot long piece of plywood, had to cut that in two, could not remove it in one piece to get at the duct work. Openings everywhere on these darn things, have to add screens to keep out the wasps and mice. What a mess.

I only know VT in the Summer and Fall....LOL...Cool camper and great work!!!

Nice work!

Love the RV videos!!!

Excellent work

Quite a project you have wow, Happy New year

Looking great , keep it up !!

Can't wait to see more videos

Nice work and Sure is handy you where able use nice warm warehouse for little while really made progress.

Don't forget to replace the catalytic converter (if present) and muffler. Had to rebuild the top end of a motorhome motor ($3000!) for overlooking this! I recommend Magnaflow which is like $180 for both and also has no resistance inside.

You made a lot of progress. Subscribed

Great progress in short order....WAY cheaper than a new one.

Great videos

Awesome video

I hope you do this more. I want to see what it looks like.

Its looking good so far! i was worried there would be more water damage but it looks like u got it before it could spread and farther looks really good!

I've so been where you are at right now. You're lucky to have a warehouse to work in! I would have scraped all the old caulk around all the roof fixtures and applied new caulking before applying the roof seal but I know you were pressed for time. Also you might want to discover eternabond tape, it's an rv'ers best friend! I'd use some where the caps overlay front and rear.

Wicked good video!!

You should cover the whole camper in bedliner !

Its funny how gutless this era of rv's were. My brother has a late 70s with a molar 440. He used to take it to Loudon for the cup races. The hill after the Montpelier exit southbound on I89 be lucky to make it at 25 mph. He zero decked the block ported the heads and intake. A set of Doug Thorley headers and a thumper cam the hill was no longer an issue.

Cool Update

Must’ve been awful to scrape the snow and ice before moving it. Awesome place to work on that!

Meth lab lol am watching you. Thanks 4 ur videos

You can keep all that cold. Sooo glad I live south of I-10.

good stuff...

Looking better

all those 2 inch screws coming up thru the roof will keep the birds away -smart !

Yeah I would go ahead and replace that starter and batt. Way cheaper than replacing that Colorado's alternator. Classic motorhome it's a transitional relic of the 70s to 80s. Gotta keep those velvet couches lol

Yay finally

14 degrees and im here in so cal at 48 degrees saying how freezing it is outside. 😂

How did you learn how to do this kind of restoration/repairs? You're doing an amazingly good job.

The immortal words to every non starting vehicle, "come on baby!"

Good job make sure you seal the roof every three years.

Nice work! I guess there is no such thing as a $1000.00 camper though. lol

As an Australian viewer, love the Kangaroo (I assume called Bouncer) on the side!

Hi I have a 1987 sunspot Chevrolet 32 foot and it looks similar to your on the outside and it's made of fibreglass to I have been doing mine up for the last two years the best of luck with your ...I am finding it hard to get part because I live in the west of Ireland ...

So funny. I just bought an 88' Fleetwood Bounder for $1 last week

Nice

I know it's too late, bjt when you had all the rot taken out and the problem areas exposed, it might have been a good idea to walk the roof with a garden hose and find out where all the problems were BEFORE sealing it up. THEN seal the roof FIRST...garden hose AGAIN to check for leaks....FINALLY finish off the interior. Maybe this method would have prevented the rear roof leaks you experienced on your 1, 200 mile road trip to Canada. ?..

Does this kind RV requires a special Drive license? Excellent Video! you are very genuine

In my RV the front AC units and bathroom vent caused the majority of the leeks.

You going to run a small diesel heater mod? Also I see a lot of solar panels, have you ever looked into small vertical wind turbines for the combo?

did you tear out the ceiling or the roof?

Surprised the Colorado didn't blow up from trying to jump start it

That’s an awesome camper! What other stuff do you have planned for it?

i subbed just because the volvo

Yep . . . . . $500. I would have stripped the old caulk around the roof impingements and seams before I re-caulked it. Because water is like fire, it's not always coming in at the place where you see the most damage.

what sort of foam do you use and where do you get it man? also, is there a way to put like a rubber lining on your roof? ive seen something like that, what is the point of that paint you used? anyways, great video man, much appreciated!!!

I hope your selling all these cars and RVs to make a profit and recoup your money. Love Vermont I live in wallingford love it

How you have snow with 14°c ?

what are the materials u used too fix your roof

I would say you need to seal around all the roof openings/vents. That roof AC unit looks like a major water leak to me. I would say they are leaking more then just the roof. I enjoyed watching the video.

oml my faimly bought a 1987 Fleetwood Bounder like 6 or 7 years ago for 1400 and the transmission was stuck in 2nd gear and the heat was stuck on. It was summer. Also its been parked sense we bought it.

Did you look inside those cabinets to check for mold? and in the walls?

"WE GOT ROT"

Super.....super...

What roof coating did you use I need to the the same thing to my rv only difference is my roof just started leaking today.

Just Flex Seal the roof and put a new ceiling in. No more leaks

What about the roof over where the above head cabinets are

You should have removed everything from the roof before working on it. I would bet that that the old sealant will leak around the vents and a/c. Extra work but worth it in the long run.

The crew got to keep any vintage magazines and VCR tapes they found...

Wanna c more ov this

So is your camper the exact 1 used on breaking bad or just same type

Jessie...we have to cook. You need to put five piece of duct tape over the door.

Can you put some gas in the fridge in there to keep this from getting chunky and the gas and also freeze you don’t want to put that in there without getting any freeze in there it’ll start up with like a top

I hate to ask this but, did you screw the plywood straight up through the roof? I swear I saw screws sticking up out of the roof when you were commenting that the second coat was done......
