Can we please just appreciate how badass the Iceman is. The Iceman drilled out that ignition switch with his finger. On the 7th day God rested, and the Iceman took over. The bars kick the Iceman out just so other men can have a shot with the ladies. Iceman can make a snowman out of rain. The Iceman doesn’t wear a watch, he decides what time it is….

Oh goodness. When he hears about this comment.... 😂😂😂

[@gandalf2439]

From experience before you try to start it , check the thermostat, it is not where you think it. It is in the top radiator hose just above the head .

[@rhondasweeney7271]

This is going to be a very interesting adventure! Nice to see the " Little One." Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@gilbertjaramillo8735]

Wow, great video and I saw the whole thing. I have a 1987 Lesharo that has the same idling problem and also use a screwdriver to keep a high idle as not to die. Now I know how to look for vacuum leaks due to your video. Hope I find them so THANKS ALOT!

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

You're very welcome!

[@sykwookiee]

Best Christmas movie ever! And you should always let the "little one" name the cars...confidence builder...worked for me and my four kiddoes...love your channel and family...Merry Christmas brother...

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Merry Christmas!

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩🍩☕️☕️👀😎👍. Morning ! Love the smile on the little lady ! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family, 🎄☃️❄️🎄☃️❄️. You will have your hand full with this one ! Good luck 👍👍👍👍

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Merry Christmas!

[@rexkean]

Gizmo!!!!! Well, it didn't take that much to get it going! I'm impressed! I've seen several of these things over the years, but never knew they were powered by a Renault engine. I'm wondering if a Chevy V6 would fit in it? Easier to get parts for!

[@groundhog8148]

Awesome little camper needs a little TLC and cleaning you’ll be good for a little camping trip nice to get something for free 👍🏻

[@at_3831]

Gizmo is a perfect name now you have to keep it!

[@oldfatandtired6406]

My grandpa once told me at an American Legion Hall right before he fell off of a barstool, " The most expensive stuff starts out as 'free'.".

[@SatansSmurf]

Better connect that o2 sensor. I've had problems with it before on other cars. with it not telling the comp. how much more or less gas it need to supply the motor.

[@user-cq9vy1dv2y]

Awesome! I have a 1992. There’s a following for this and have rally’s. There are 3 Facebook group and a couple of other group online. Couple of shop that specialize on lesharo as well as offer engine conversion. They are fun to have. Thanks for the video.

[@colinhunter1910]

Nice one chris and debs on the donation lots of love from scotland french engines need lots of computer diagnostics that why scrap yards are full of them here put a yank motor in it and it will be fine love the vids keep them coming guys

[@jazman1966]

Another great video. Love the diagnose and fix of the vacuum leaks. Seems like it will be a decent rig, albiet gutless. Hopefully you got the christmas package with the "nightmare" shirts for the girls. Keep up the great work!

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

I'll have to check the PO Box!

[@mollywilliams1908]

Saw this one at your place and had to come check out the story! We love a RV/camper Reno. Can’t wait to see what you do with the inside. We need to take our teardrop to enchant rock! Your JK neighbor 😊.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Howdy neighbor! 😁

[@johncorlett3699]

renault have some bizarre thought processes when it comes to engine design and layout

[@jasonjones5213]

My uncle had one, the shower is pretty cool.It pulled most of the mountain roads in Montana, not all but most.

[@jamieminton172]

U guys popped up this morning and I subed half way thru. I really enjoyed the way U broke down the trouble-shooting. The vid quality and editing are on point. Looking forward to the next one. I am currently in the market for a retirement home on wheels (project style) and would be interested to see some refit type of work. I have skills, but lack in the design and "Decor" departments. LOL

[@jimmiebrown5014]

Good to see the iceman again Hope you and the Iceman and all your family have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Merry Christmas to you!

[@carlbernard4197]

Got a light? Rocket 🚀 😊😊😊

[@scottedwards9994]

You should have full dash idiot lights.... Either oil pressure sw wire is off, or the switch is bad. You can check by grounding the wire and check for dash lights. Oil pressure light will go off as well......once you replace the switch.

[@toddreiter3270]

"I don't know" That made me think of Fast Times at Ridgemont High Jeff Spicoli said that in Mr Hands class and Mr Hand wrote Jeff's words on the chalk board for everyone to see. Lol 😂

No shirt, no shoes, no dice!

Being a Winabago, you might be able body parts from them. They have a reputation for having spare parts on hand. Especially since they build that body.

[@alanphillips556]

Well. Well. Well. Looks like ya found a mobile home that kind of in one piece. Might be able to make this one work with a little t l c.

Hopefully it will be a good time for you guys,LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless y'all

That is awesome I always wanted to own one of those all my life since 1980 s

Awesome you got Gizmo running. Looking forward to see it gutted.

[@xnakxx]

Camping trip video would be pretty cool man.

[@JohnBaker-ks8rd]

The oil pressure sensor controls feul pump on alot of those foren cars, ur oil light is on, it may be shutting down the pump

[@danfrombam]

Has those cool lines like the lumina vans.

Best regards from Mendoza Argentina, your program is very good, I'm watching it. Saludos cordiales desde Mendoza Argentina, muy bueno su programa, lo estoy viendo.

[@paulweigle6872]

Not too bad for an old motor home. That should clean up nice for a camping trip. Of course you should do a little video of it.

[@Bluegrassguitarman23]

Just a little suggestion turn the idle screw up a little sounds like it is idling too low

[@robertjardine4386]

Used to car tow cars and needed the steering to move on older cars in the seem of the column there is a large pin that you can push in and out a plastic card to hold it open but the column would then turn

[@1954shadow]

Got the notice that my, “Ice Man,” can coolers are in the mail, awesome!

[@locotrucker46]

Glad to see you guys back with another cool video.

[@carlbernard4197]

Dude you dont want that on your foot 😮😮😅😅😅

Garth? You smell something cooking in there? Throw a little Texas barbecue sauce on it lol man I love the videos keep them coming! God bless you and your family Garth.❤

I DON’T KNOW 😂😂😂 thank Steve Jobs and the people for the internet. We only know what we know not saying anyone’s dumb but we are all as smart as the dummy using the smart phone or laptop. I worked on and off automobiles for as long as I remember like at the age of 10 with my father, and then my stepdad I was even a machinist reconditioning engines and forgot more than I know.

[@graveyardprincess5565]

🤣

[@user-mm7xr8if1u]

Man, I don't have good much memory in my older years, but I messed with a similar RV about 35 years ago. Can't remember the name of the damn thing, but it looks the same. I do know, wasn't a Winnie. Maybe the same company designed it? One I'm talking about had a rear-mount engine. The engine was from Buick! This was around 1991 or so, when I messed with it. Oh no, this is Renault (Ray-No?) ? Stay in France! Almost bought a LeCar in my teens. Glad I didn't.

Bet Viv and the son in law would love it

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

They already have a nice setup.

[@stephenlipton525]

You may find more Nissan parts are compatible. Nissan are stakeholders in Renault.

Hey brother it took me 2 days to watch the video I'm down with a shoulder injury I did yesterday walking my dog awesome video

The Renault engines in the lesharo were absolutely junk , many people have done a engine swap to a chrysler 3.3

[@flyannmunkee2086]

What’s the latest update on this beast? I’m going to look at one tomorrow.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

We ended up passing it on to someone else to finish out.

[@saltynlit]

Diggin' the suburban...not so much the renault rv.

[@carlbernard4197]

Renault and Nissan many parts cross reference to each other. They provide components to each other. I have a Altima and right on the battery it says Renault/Nissan.

[@raphaelkasparian1721]

Not at this date

[@stevekimberley4892]

This was built a while before Renault and Nissan merged (1999).

[@frankgriner2932]

Can you tell me the part number of the precision fuel pump? I played this as slow as i could and the part number side of the box wasn't shown. Thank you.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

It has been a while, but going through my notes I believe it's E16103.

[@AlfieTheHammer363]

Renault owned by French Government otherwise would have gone bust 20 years ago, and Renault own Nissan so that’s why the parts are interchangeable, it’s a Traffic , French crap version of a Merc Sprinter, but for Free it’s ok , Like the Suburban 😎 👍🏻

The owners split town and left it, therefore it's abandoned. Pretty simple concept.
