Just give the engine a general tune-up. Check timing - late timing can cause engine overheating at high speeds and difficulty in starting the engine (experienced that with my 454 Olds back in the early 70s). Late ignition timing can also damage the starter and flywheel. Check for vacuum leaks - a lean air/fuel mixture due to a vacuum leak can cause overheating issues. There's a vacuum line from the transmission to the engine that controls transmission shifting as the engine load varies. Once that's done, you can make many more skiing trips with that mobile motel.

Congratulations guys, sounds like it was a fun trip. A few things that might help you: Transmission probably needs a vacuum modulator, relatively inexpensive part. It's fairly inexpensive and simple bolt on replacement part. You don't have to drop the pan Your steps were most likely opening due to a worn door switch. It's always a good idea to spray the pivot points on them with wd40 or pb blaster each time you take her on a trip. Your carb is probably due for a rebuild, better yet if you have the funds you might want to consider getting a Holly 750 for it. That will help eliminate a lot of issues that the original quadrajet is giving you. I'm guessing you have the Chevy 454 in it? Also, always a good idea to carry bungee straps with you, they're quite helpful when body parts don't cooperate, ie your hood. I'm glad that didn't cause you guys an accident. Three different motorhomes in my past, I found they were a lot of fun but very expensive. You were wise to get an old one, thus avoiding a lot of wasted money on payments. Finally, we used to take time before each trip and ask and pray that Jesus would guide and protect us each trip. He is faithful, he protected us. I just wish I had remembered to lower the tv antenna on a few occasions, lol Thanks for your videos 👍, good stuff!! Happy motoring guys!!

Dude!!! I KNEW you'd have a great time in this old girl!! You GOTTA fix the wipers, that's a necessity! Have you checked those vacuum lines for leaks?? Clean the HECK out of that carb, drop a couple cans of SeaFoam in the tank when she's at about quarter-tank. That might help your carb issue. Make sure all bolts, nuts, and screws are tight to reduce any vacuum leaks, too. Redo the rear roof to stop the leaks! Did you have a chance to check out the RV systems?? [Heating, refrigerator, sink and toilet, etc.] The steps? Straighten them, then pull the fuse when you get them up. Those are real bad after time because they are exposed to wet and road slop. I know you can fix them, but they might not be worth the effort. Me, I just knocked up a simple box to use as an entry step. Cheap and never breaks.

Check trans modulator vacuum line for leak to fix shifting problem. This and a choke set too lean on carb can cause start up, warm up and idling issues. Engine turning over slow when hot could be timing, too advanced. Overheating is possibly a bad clutch fan, check to see if it spins too freely. The motor appears to be a Chevy 454, these are good pulling motors when they run right. Is that dual exhaust? Nice!

For your shift problem, that’s a 400 hydro I’m thinking. Probably I would look at vacuum to your modulator. Pull the line off and see if there is trans fluid in it...bad diaphragm, replace the modulator. Possibly but I doubt the filter is plugged. Hard start when hot because it’s not timed or advancing properly. Probably another vacuum issue. No vacuum for a long time will seize your advance plate or dashpot on the distributor....leaving the advance plate stuck in a position where it won’t start when hot, and progressively more hotter as engine speed increases. Put a new hose on it and suck....you should see that move under the distributor cap. When I bought my $400 pile....I carefully one at a time replaced every vac line on the engine. All my vacuum heat sensors, choke pull off, air flap for the air cleaner, cruise etc. work. It cost $8

Of Course it will make it! It's a Chevy 454 with a Turbo 400 Transmission. If it DOES break down and having trouble finding the parts, cross the road and look in the OTHER ditch! The parts to fix it is somewhere close to you! LOL. Both of my RVs are P30 chassis' with the same 454 / T400 setup. One 29' Winnebago Chieftain and one 33' Fleetwood Pace Arrow. I am amazed the TIRES made it tho. Keep them driving. The more you drive it, the better it will run. ATB!
