We paid only $400 for this RV that was built by someone in the early 70s on a 1966 GMC bus chassis. We drove 230 miles to try and get it to start after sitting for 30 years and being started last 10 years ago to drive it home. Come with us on the adventure and see if we can make it happen!

Such a great video to watch here In the UK. My son and I have done similar things but not so many miles. The most funniest story was my son buying a VW campervan sold as non-running. The owner was told It needed a new wiring loom. When my son went into the sellers place to sign the UK logbook (Title) and pay for It, I was underneath the engine with the ignition turned on and I had a U-shaped bit of wire, I flashed the starter terminals as It started. My son came out to see me smiling and heard the unmistakable sound of a air cooled VW engine so also smiled, the seller's face was shocked, but knowing It now ran, started by some old guy and a bit of wire/ LOL

@@garrobrotherssalvage9645 Indeed the VW van was a steal. The strange writing along both sides turned out to be New Zealand tribal writing so the VW had more stories of its own. Oh, the wiring fault was a break in the starter wire, soon found by my son and fixed. My son Is like my best mate, always helping me now I am older (75)

This was fun. Took me back to a buddy and I heading to Illinois to buy a Winnebago. Tires were equally questionable, turn signals didn't work and the radiator leaked like a fountain. We loaded up 35 gallons of water. Circled ST Louis twice as this was pre GPS and cell days and I missed my turn off on the bypass. Must have stopped 8 times filling up with water. Nerves were shot when we made it back to SE Missouri. This made me relive that trip 🙂 Oh... after getting the RV parked, something resembling a shotgun going off sounded. Went outside to investigate. Front tire on that death trap blew just setting the the yard.

When the engine spun around I got a smile on my face, it was at that time I knew I had to subscribe. I hauled scrap in Philadelphia for years. From yard to shredder and dumped, then I would go shopping. A bazillion tools for every job. Every once in a while something old and cool would pop up. If I was smart I would have opened my own yard. Keep it up, I'm in the Tucson desert enjoying your channel immensely. I would suggest trading the two piece rims for anything else but a two piece rim off the RV!

That’s awesome we are glad you enjoyed the video. Was a relief for us when it fired up! That is awesome. Did you have to sit in line much at the shredder? The yard we use to work for, our drivers would always leave really early in the morning to make the 4 hour drive to the shredder in our area so they could get unloaded first and didn’t have to wait for hours. Good call on the wheels. Definitely want to get rid of the split rims! -Brody

A brand fire new subscriber here guys, all the way from the UK, the home of Perkins Diesel Engines. I have really enjoyed watching you get this beast back running and driving again. Here is a crazy thing, you have a "one of a kind" vehicle there with a Perkins. Here in the UK I have a early 60s International CO 1800 truck with a Perkins 6.354 in it. It too is a "one of a kind" vehicle. International had been building normal bonneted trucks here for a couple years, when they built just a handful pre-production RHD cabover trucks. They exhibited them at the annual big truck show in London, and they attracted a lot of interest, mainly because of the tilt cab, but sadly for whatever reason they never made it into full production. Shortly after International quit building trucks altogether here. I believe my truck is the only one here in the UK. Can't wait to go see your other videos. Many thanks David in the UK.

Hey Brody, that's $400.00 well spent! Get some better tires, convert it to a 2-battery set up and an alternator! I would suggest try to get one from an ambulance, that will power up everything with no problems! I used to take care of an ambulance fleet back in the 90's I might still have one laying around in my shed. What's good about those alternators, the regulator is built right in. I would bet the engine just needs new valve seals probably got brittle and dried up sitting all those years. Enjoyed the video, good luck with that RV she looks great.

The one from Wonder bread but that's a huge motorhome so I hope you guys put a diesel motor in there a better one and keep us informed what you guys are going to do to it. Thanks again!
