We have one of these 1980s Ford Econoline RVs here in the UK. We bought it as a severely internally rotted vehicle, and we are renovating it over on our KZbin channel. We love the project.

I was in high school in the early 80’s. I remember these colors being popular back then. Light wedge wood blue and mauve. Also peach was another popular color. 😬

I just picked up a 87 Ford fiberglass minibus. Thing is great, carbureted 460 7.5 and it rips. Had to rip the whole floor out and about to take a second mortgage out for the plywood.

Similar to our /92 ford that we bought in 2021, certified and insurable ‘cause our propane passed inspection. Ours is 30’ with 77k. Absolutely love it. Same engine and we average 14 km/L. We’re happy with everything about it.

I have a 1988 Royal Classic 🎉 runs like butter. Mines in good shape and its a slightly smaller model. Yes the propane tanks on old RVs have to be certified these days but its not always the case.

Hello from New Zealand. That’s a cool house truck. Love those big block 460 cid V8 engines. The body on this looks good for its age but those seams on the edge of the panels on the outside may need replacement, that’s the cause of many water leaks etc so you may need to pull the inner panels off from inside and replace . Awesome project for you if you can fix it up. As for the LPG unit you be best to get rid of that part.

I have an 86 with the Windsor engine. I like the Windsor better, because it is easy to work on. Mine is a barn find with just 29K and stored inside. Would not trade for a new one.

When we bought our Winnebago it was a 79 and it had the same issue with the insurance when it comes to the furnace and hot water heater. To get insurance the previous owner had the disable the hot water heater and remove the furnace. Also the 3 Way fridge had to be removed as well.

You need to have the system pressure tested. They connect a gauge to your intake on the stove, then open the main line, then close the main line. In 15 minutes they check the pressure again. You can only lose x amount of pressure to pass the test, I don’t remember the pressure drop your permitted but our /92 passed with good numbers. After test you get a tag attached to your tank and you can get insurance. It’s an expensive test. Our test was $90. CDN. Repeat tests will be required every 5yrs I think-not completely sure.

That idea sounds good on paper but in reality most likely wouldnt be worth it, 60k in batteries probably, but now because youve added 15,000 lbs or more to vehicle you are now going to need a 2000 dollar+ brake upgrade and you will no longer be allowed to drive it on the road as it will be over its GVWR rating too. Not to mention you would get about 30km of range because of the weight and the vehicles lack of aerodynamics
