If it was mine, I would get it good enough to tow a trailer with a car in it, and travel the drag race circuit with it. That truck/RV is awesome! I would love to have one like it. Love your videos. Enjoy your new toys/projects. Be safe!

I really love these old trucks... Driving these old trucks makes you appreciate them more and more every time you drive them... A newer truck is just a luxury with all the gadgets... But to drive these simple,older trucks gives you a feeling of jumping back in time...!!!! At least for me it does...!!!

About the time that C30 was made my uncle rolled one that had a box on the back full of plumbing parts when a wheel blew out. A friend purchased the remains and turned it into a camper very similar to this rig. Same color too (it was popular back then.) They had that thing for decades towing a fishing boat all over Michigan and Ontario Canada. Brings back memories!

You guys always makes my day. So upbeat and happy all the time. Looks like y’all had a great time!

Can't believe I logged onto KZfaq this morning and found a brand-new video from you guys! What a great way to start out the day for an old, retired guy. This will be a fun project. How many of ya'll noticed the custom tach on the steering column with the "power shift" needle set at 4500 RPM?

I don't care who makes it. But if it's old, it's cool! And these older cars need some love too!

Life is Good. Specially in that Ole Camper. Stay Blessed

Hello flying Angel people God bless you both I appreciate being on your channel I love you both happy mother's day and God bless

Ok. I have to say , the camp spot at the vineyard is super cool !! This was a cool idea.

When you drive old trucks you always get a lot of thumbs up I do in my old 1955 Chevy great adventure looks like you had a great time.

If I won the lottery, I would keep that camper looking exactly like that, but I would hire someone to make the interior like, corporate Lear Jet luxurious. But I didn't, and I love the camper! Thanks for bringing us along on your road trip! Y'all always just seem to have a blast together! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

I can't help loving your obvious enjoyment of life. Your face lights up when you smile. Keep it up, babe. You are a real good start to any day.. XX

Replace the vent. Remove the crappy old AC. RIP out the ceiling panels. Check integrity of ceiling struts, brace and replace as needed. Patch ceiling tin- rivet and fully caulk. Once weather tight use thin veneer to redo the interior ceiling. Paint. Good to go!

Love watching you guys I'm retired from Trucking for 56 years and I really enjoy watching you guys I wish I discovered you a long time ago

My parents bought about a 1972 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup with a 350. It looked just about like this C30. When I started college in 1973 they bought a 5th wheel trailer and toured the US. We started an apple orchard in 1980 and it became our farm truck. It served us well for many years. I appreciate what you are sharing as it brings back a lot of memories. Thank you.

Both girls seem to soo enjoy that cool unit.

Enjoying life, that's what it's all about!

okay, it is official..... Cutest Mom-Daughter Couple EVER!! glad you passed safety

Old school camping in a classic can't be beat. What an attitude y'all for past iron!! Love the vlogs!

"Gasoline Forever". Coolest shirt and motto ever!

Take the RV to a vintage RV/trailer rally. They’re a lot of fun and you can see how folks do up their rigs.

On repairing the roof the first step I took on mine was to get ladders on both sides with another ladder across the roof so you're not putting pressure on the roof. The roof vents are just screwed down with a bunch of sealant over the screws but there are a couple on the interior also. There is a clay strip sealant you're supposed to put under the new one. I use a elastomeric roof sealant that you basically just paint on. Then use self-leveling caulking over the screws and any other holes you find. I repaired the roof from the inside and replaced the roof trusses and ceiling panels. I love that truck and I'm jealous. The family of my childhood friend had one that we camped in together.

Watching others run while enjoying a screwdriver................. Love this !

Gosh. That is one lucky man. Mamma lookin like total fire with that cap turned around and having the camper idea. Have a great time. I’m jealous.

I love how you just jump into a 50 plus year old rig and take off somewhere. 1st is a granny gear and non-synchro. Hold the clutch down for a moment and it will go in eventually. Had several GMC's and Chevys with these transmissions. Tougher than a boiled owl but they don't speed shift too well!

Love those old Chevys. Good to see ya'll appreciate them too.

So freaking cool to see women into old school stuff like you are & your kids into it also - looking forward to seeing you guys take the camper & the 57 out somewhere and have a blast

Awesome too see you guys using the old girl

I love cruising back roads here in southern Indiana. So many cool things to see.

Probably not what you want to hear: But don't over-think the roof repair. Take it slow enough that you can take pics/vid of the original design and copy it. Then simply re-assemble and seal. When you're rebuilding, use either equivalent, or better (you already knew that though) material/adhesive. Make sure to try to source the original failures and fix them. But you can do this while you're doing the demo. I LOVE this RV project!!

I miss having my camper. They are so much fun. Y'all will have so many adventures

If I were you I would drive it to my house, and bring the title. I so love these old RV's. I promise to love it more than a new puppy. :)

If I had that RV, I'd be on the infield at Texas Motor Speedway for the All star race. I'm sure it would be a hit!

OMGosh, I have to comment again. You look great in pink ! You are sooo happy doing all the things I like to do too. What a great family hou have. And Art is THE man. Shows up with screw drivers. I would have made memosa's. lv u

Well, now y'all need to bring that C30 up here to Hot Springs and go to your favorite Lake Ouachita campgrounds. Hope to see you up here sometime.

The flower pot by the front door made me giggle, thanks Emily.

Had a old camper that I had to repair the roof. Peeled the tin back and replaced the roof frame work reinstalled the tin and caulked . An adventure in itself. You have a neat old rig, enjoy it ! traveling roadshow in itself

It’s awesome to see a gal into these old gems !!

your always so happy and positive Emily,just luv it. have fun!

Emily, love the way you fixed the hole in the roof...and the horn was pretty cool too! Great to see you having so much fun. Thanks for Sharing!

You guys and your whole family are awesome , thanks for sharing and stay safe 👍👍👍

That’s one sweet rollin’ condo! I’m so envious of vent windows. Definitely a childhood memory.

That’s an awesome vintage RV. My wife and I will be going on our maiden voyage with a new travel trailer in June and we are so excited. Love watching you guys use yours.

You guys just have too much fun and I'm so happy for you and your family.

Watching you two in one of your videos always makes my soul smile. Always one adventure after another!

That is one sweet old truck! Can’t wait to see how you all fix it up.

I have replaced dozens of camper/trailer/motorhome roofs. You need to remove the old roof to do it right. The roof should be made of tapered 2x4's and basically be a drop in panel that you can build on the ground, put the inside roof panels on then set it on the sidewalls.. Let me know it you want some more info be glad to go into details!

Emily you can keep us big fans of your channel and I just hope your husband enjoy being a very lucky man

We Love the C30 RV. I think a trip to anywhere would be great. Thanks for sharing.

Nice times in old school RV! I have 1967 (Summer of Love Rollin’ Hilton) C90 GMC in great shape, interior & ext. 327 auto. on Vancouver Island. I have been all over BC and to Mexico. Love watching your channel.

If I had that RV, I’d load the family up and go camping somewhere around Terlingua, Marfa, Big Bend!

I Love that spot Heritage Market. There sourdough and marble 🍞’s are Awesome 😋

Great job on the C30 camper guy's. Fun to watch somebody else run..

Took a break from watching the Johnny Depp/Heard trial - glad I did - looks as though you guys had a great time. Snowed here this morning ....

I love that you are restoring the truck. I had a 1966 that was an awesome experience. You 2 restore my faith in families. Both of you are a special gift to each other. Keep sharing your joy.

I know that you want to keep it old school for the most part but maybe a Tremec 5 or even 6 speed swap so that big ol' 396 is more freeway friendly? Love that big beast, SO much potential!!!

Great video. Love the camper. Make sure the truck is completely stopped before engaging 1st gear, it isn’t synchronized. The roof will be a project. Strip the interior ceiling and replace the rotted wood. Sorry, no short cuts.

Oh ! Boy ! I'll start by saying it can be done but first you need to understand your enemy is condensation aluminum ! It loves to condensate during temp swings, over the years you are now seeing the damage caused by this process ! This has lead to the use of fiberglass in motor homes let alone the cost!!! Don't worry fiberglass also dose the same just not as bad!! I did a 1983 keystone Toyota In the late 90's ! peeled off the entire roof and ceiling replace all of the rotted roof rafters squared the roof and replaced it with 1/4" sub flooring the having the entire roof and over lapped the walls 2 to 3 inches with 3/8" of spray on bed liner with a UV rated paint on top one coat it lasted ten years but then condensation came back into play but we lived in the northeast P.A. and it was exposed year round to the weather and not used as much !! the secret to motor homes are controlled storage or a dry and regular climate !! Oh by the way my adventure started with the sagging air conditioner!!! Good luck ! it can be done , love the content I was young once and enjoyed the adventure of doing the unthinkable your never to old to learn!!! keep the faith!!!

It’s nice to see “mini-you” enjoying it so much.

Emily, your whole attitude is incredible! You're SO upbeat, so happy in your life, you really are an absolute joy to watch. Aaron's a lucky guy! All the best from England 😘

I have the same mirrors on my 1996 Chevy K3500. They were OEM as option on my truck. About 15 years ago I was still able to buy them new from the local Chevy Dealer. With our slide in camper the mirrors are essential. Cool vintage truck.

My wife and I bought an 04 Fleetwood Class A and renovated the interior. It is on the Workhorse Chassis and has a 8.1L (496/4L85E) big block Chevy. We live in Mansfield Tx and use it mostly to go to the beaches up and down the Texas coast. Galveston is the closest, so we spend a lot of time there. Our next adventure is the week before Labor Day. South Padre Island for 4 nights, then Port Aransas for 5 nights.

The first new truck, I remember going with my parents to pick up at the dealership (the dealership was in Pontiac Michigan) was a 1967 Chevrolet Suburban. I still remember the smell of the Ziebart under coating. The Suburban did not have a strong Big Block & Turbo 400 like your very cool truck, it had a 283 and a 2 speed Power Glide. That didn’t stop my dad from pulling a 21 foot travel trailer all over the western United States! I was 8 years old, it was a fantastic trip, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado we even hit your home state on our way home! My parents are both gone now, they gave us so many memories. I am currently building a 1968 Chevrolet C-10, just scored a 1970 396, it’s at the machine shop. When you start that Big Block, my heart rate goes up! I love the camper, however you guys have a tough job ahead, fixing the rotten wood. My first camper had the same issue, I had to take off the outside sheet metal and fix the 2X2 skeleton, it was a lot of work but I never regretted it. My wife and I camped in a tent for years, the first trip in that camper felt like a class A motor home! I hope you don’t sell her! So looking forward to the restoration! Sorry for the long story. God Bless you both, I really enjoy your channel.

Got a tip for you about the top of your camper. If the woods to soft to walk on top. Start on inside remove ceiling and replace wood. If you can get on top sand whole roof with 80 grit sand paper cover with ryno lineing truck liner or flex seal. Then replace wood inside. I love you guys videos keep up the good work. If I had a complaint it would be to make more videos. I know your busy. Have fun and be safe.

Two crazy women in a vintage RV, Aaron you the man.

Two things to check before you use them on a 52 year old camper: propane piping and electrical wiring and converter. The old power centers in campers this age were crap, and I have found scary wiring particularly to the fridge. I just finished restoring/refurbishing a 1977 camper. Well worth the effort, but in my case the propane line was broken in multiple spots and it had multiple wiring issues.

Nice camping trip! The car registration day reminds me a little like that movie Thelma and Louise.... Besides Niagara Falls, I'd park an RV outside your garage, give you a hand with your cars and cook some barbecue for you guys!....and play with Finley!😀

Glad Finley was there to observe and make sure you did the cold start correctly.

If this rig was parked in my yard, my wife and I would probably head for the Washington coast and the ocean. We live just south of Seattle. We might also head for Mt. Rainier to see the wildflowers too.

Try to get that roof replaced asap. It only gets worse. I had water leaks on the roof of my trailer and it caused a lot of wood rot mostly in the front. The entire roof of your RV will need to be replaced. Mine just needed edge sections of the roof replaced but the entire front cap was rebuilt and replaced too. 20K later it’s like new. Y’all are great to watch 👍🏼😊

We have a 1973 GMC Motorhome. Vintage RVs are a blast. Vintage RV rallies are a lot of fun as well. And don't forget car shows.

Goto an RV shop and ask for the sealant for around the vents. It comes in rolls like tape but is a clay type that you use to seal all the edges of the vents and AC. To fix the roof, you'll ned to peel back the outside tin for best results. There should be a layer of plywood covering a framework. Replace the bad wood with a light pine. At your local harware store, in the roofing section wll be rolls of butyl flashing. It's 4-6 inches wide and use that to seal the edges where the plywood meet and then replace the tin.

Love all the family stuff you guys do, And the car stuff too

You're going to have a great time with your new camper , my wife and I have been traveling around the country for the last 3 years and are having the time of our lives together. It builds memories that last a lifetime. Good luck with your new camper 🙂

Ahhhhhhh I love camping and thats the coolest way to go. Enjoy.

Local to y’all, we love Tyler State Park, Beaver’s Bend, OK, Mineral Wells State Park and Walleye Park. That Camper would love those spots!

So cute guts 💜 you can't beat spending time with family, great video 👍

I have that max fan in my 76 GMC Motorhome and I love it.

Arron you may think your in control But the woman is always the one in control. Emily being the good woman she is lets you think you are. ;-) Enjoy you two 🙂

Cars & very well mannered kids 👍👍👍👍👍 Great vid 👍👍👍👍👍

Love the channel guys thank you so much for sharing your lives with all of us enjoy your adventure’s and family

Great episode yall! So cool to see you out there enjoying it how it was made to be used. Really enjoyed it, Big Block Camping Goodness 👍

if I had that rig, one place I would take it is Ennis in October for the NHRA weekend. really enjoy the projects you guys do. keep up the old trucks

You guys sure know how to have fun 🤙🏻. Great find on that rig too

Thanks for the Video.....Thank You for taking me along on your Adventure. Regards.

Just love the camper and the bronco . Doesn't the screen door work on the camper. It a nice thing to have . Keeps them bug's out . What a amazing trip I had with you all Was like I was right there with you all . Thanks for sharing.

Awesome Rv, its ways fun to get with family and friend for exciting adventure

Emily and the garden hose triggered thoughts of Cool Hand Luke. Neat rig - glad it is finally usable for y'all. You'll love it! Keep it away from Mike and come to a stop before trying 1st gear. "Granny" gear is not synchronized.

Aaron, altnader is a four syllable word. Hugs and kisses from your old high school English teacher. Ya’ll have too much fun!!

A wonderful family outing with a sporty twist for two people.

I bought my 89' Dodge Pheonix so I can camp out at Road America on race weekends. Totally awesome, nothing better than a day of awesome racing & beer followed up by an evening of campfire dinners & nightly drink of Brandy & Ice Tea . I love the sound of your 70' 396 C-30. My Pheonix has the 360 CUI (5.9L), but is very quite. I think she crying for some Glass Packs. Enjoy your camping weekends.

Awesome video! Such a great family. Thanks for the content.

You have so much fun with your family - glad you see have priorities is place! Enjoy the Chevy travel camper.

Nice family fun. :)

I’m sure Aaron already knows this but low is not a synchronized gear in those old granny 4 speeds. Put it in second or third before going to low and it’ll fall right in with out all the grinding. Love the truck.

I love the old camper, from the mirrors to the tail lights, just a beautiful vehicle that kinda let's you travel back in time. I'd inspect the body of the camper for rott / corosion and especially any kind of mold in the insulation. I've unfortunately seen quite some mold in older campers and camping trailers, with mold black insulation behind some of the wall an roof panels.

I rebuilt a camper last year that a tree went through the roof. Stripped the roof, insulation and ceiling. Replaced insulation with sheep's wool insulation. I replaced the ceiling with fiberglass ceiling board. I resigned roof and covered with fiberglass.

Y'all you are killing it on replacement parts .i'm jelly

Love this old camper and that new horn nice 👍. Just give it some love and enjoy it .

sick Stang!!! Those three together, a perfect trifecta.
