Good effort to put things right again.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Thanks

Hi there. The square headed screws are called Robertson and are a Canadian invention. Have a nice day. Tom in Canada in the Mariimes at the NB-NS border.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Hello Tom! Thanks for the good information :-) Ron down here in Montana

[@SantaFeBob]

Excellent video Ron. Gotta love that old wood grain paneling. We grew up with camping, so this was a treat to watch this RV get a refresh. Maybe you can bring the old “formaldehyde” cabinet smell back to life. That was always a “treat” opening the camper up after sitting dormant for the winter. (Sarcasm people lol). Looking forward to the next update video.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Thanks SF Bob. I wish I could still buy wood paneling. I love it.

[@stefanm67]

I enjoyed that Ron and I learned something. Looking forward to more in the series. Hi from the UK. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Glad you enjoyed it and greetings from Billings, Montana. USA :-)

[@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561]

Looks like a great project for you till winter comes along, then back indoors for the trains.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Yup! As long as the money holds out for all the parts it's gunna need

[@dalerobertson9394]

Trains and RV, looks like a one stop shop. Can't wait to see part 2.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Thanks Dale :-)

[@jeffhagberg6796]

I had a 82 Trans Van like that one. I bought it in 86, used it several years. Was on a Dodge 1 ton Chassie I really liked that Class B .

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Ive wanted one of these for quite some time. They hold there value and have been too expensive for me until this dirty beauty came along.

[@curt4271]

Great video! 👍

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Thanks!!

[@n4pwx]

Ron the video was wonderful. Take care & keep the good work.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Thanks Dennis!

[@tommurray2653]

Hi there, before you spend serious time on the water heater cover due a water pressure test to determine if the tank is tight or has a leak and needs replaced or forgot about. Have a nice day. Tom in Canada

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Those 6 gallon water heaters all use the same door. If this tank is bad I will have it welded up, or put in a new tank.

[@elainelipscomb1476]

Get couple cans of coffee put all through shut up couple days. Sweep up coffee smells gone.my son was dead in my house 15days.was told to use this and it works..🎉🎉

[@kevinsmith5318]

Square head screws are called Robertson. Dh…!

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Thanks for the info Kevin. I never knew that :-)

[@krataiandbrett]

Awesome RV! Can’t wait to see more progress!

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Thanks!!

[@regisbraga3833]

I’d rather tuning up 50 Athearns in sequence that doing what you did…😅 Wonderful job my Friend! You’re really a very skilled person! Looking forward to watch the next part (s). Take care Ron!

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Thank you kindly Mr. Regis!!!

[@scottthejeepguy7499]

Looks like your doing a great job, good luck.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Thanks 👍

[@bradwb6192]

Always better to go body color if you can't do chrome on a light colored vehicle when it comes to accessories. Nice work, Ron...

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Yup.... Just cant spray paint chrome on. Only been trying for 45 years now. Slow learner I guess

[@scottfoster2487]

I would replace the genny with a ecoflow delta pro and spare battery and a 200 watts solar panel Definatley worth replacing all lights with led. These are sure neat old school class B motor homes.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

I plan on running that genny. 1800 rpm fuel sipper and American made with no digital control systems in it. More house batteries for sure. 200 watt GOOD solar panel and charge controller I agree and yes LED 's everywhere incandescent is at. Yup Yup!!

[@GirdHerd]

To remove all of the odors, buy or rent an Ozone Generator and leave it on for at least 12 hours - longer if necessary. I guarantee it will eliminate the odors. WARNING: DO NOT stay in the camper while the generator is on. Turn it on at the end of a work day and let it run during the night. Repeat as necessary.

[@MeTreesndirt]

Why can, t u be in there with it?

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Yup! Ive heard about those little devices. This camper had a lot of dirt and filth making the bad smells. A good cleaning really brought it back around.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

@stormyweather8798. The ozone generator makes bad oxygen. could suffocate a person in large enough amounts I believe.

[@TheAngryCamper]

the tweakers down in Oakland and San francisco would KILL for that thing!!

[@RonsClassicRVs]

yup! then they would trade it for more stuff in a week or two :-)

[@TheAngryCamper]

@@RonsClassicRVs lol, ez ups, blue tarps and 38 shitty bikes ha ha ha ha

[@jasonmondelo3748]

This looks just like my dodge rv on the outside what engine do you have in yours?

[@mikecalzaretta9614]

- Those "square" bits you are using are called "Robertsons".

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Thanks Mike :-)

[@thomaskalivas4130]

Great Find

[@RonsClassicRVs]

I got lucky for sure!

[@jorgedacosta8957]

How long is it?

[@MeTreesndirt]

Is it not rusted out underneath body? Whoever buys it will put plastic flooring in.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

No rust in the floor. Actually the whole RV is very very rust free. (structurally)

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏

[@RonsClassicRVs]

:-)

[@vivalaleta]

Please keep the environmentally good, linoleum tiles.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Yup! No plans to remove them

[@vivalaleta]

@@RonsClassicRVs Yay, now say "Forbo Marmoleum" and it will make you smile.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

@@vivalaleta yup it did!!

[@vivalaleta]

@@RonsClassicRVs hahaha 😂

[@jaygold4467]

8 mpg.

[@RonsClassicRVs]

I hope to get that good!! :-)

[@reidcrosby6241]

​@@RonsClassicRVsthe good news is you can buy a shit/ton of fuel with the money you save buying old AND you can actually fix ANYTHING roadside that breaks.

[@burly636]

What do you think about the 89 Toyota dolphin? I bought one two weeks ago and runs good. It was redone in 2006 engine wise and inside. The oven looks like it was never used, the plumbing looks pretty new and 93,000 miles. The inside does look good it’s just very dated in 2006 time. I still wake up, wondering if I did the right thing. lol.

[@MeTreesndirt]

Old credit card for scraping .

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Dang good idea!!
