For your oven, push the knob in and to light the pilot in your oven. Make sure you use a water pressure regulator anytime you are hooked up to city water so you don’t blow the water lines in the RV.

[@joespittle1]

I would spend a couple bucks and switch all the lights to nice warm LED's. It would probably help ease the stress on the generator and would help minimize that extra bit of heat. It looked like the generator wasn't super well ventilated but I suppose it's either ventilation or noise. This is 10000% one of the coolest rigs you've snagged in a hot minute

[@wayneparris3439]

Internal lights are 12 v. The generator is fan cooled and the vents are much more than enough to meet cooling requirements. As to load on the generator, lights are no load at all. For a Class A motorhome with a single AC unit the generator likely is a 5 KW and Dometic is a second/third tier quality gen set.

[@Stefonius]

@@wayneparris3439 As to the load on the generator - Each of those incandescent bulbs pulls about one amp. When I switched my RV to LED lighting, my power consumption dropped massively.

[@ellishoover3868]

Randy, your electrical gremlins that you're experiencing is probably due to weak HOUSE BATTERIES (the 6 Volt Deep Cycle ones). Get your batteries checked at your earliest convenience. Before you do any extensive time on the road, check the production dates on the tires (all 6) and check your tire pressures all around. RVs tend to blow-out the inner dually tires with regularity when not inflated properly. Harbor Freight has an attachment for your cordless drill that spins and can be used to remove those graphics that are peeling. I've had 6 RVs since 1985, all types and sizes of motorhomes. Just about anything that can happen to an RVer has happened to me! Looks like your tailpipe mounting bracket is disconnected where you're experiencing the fuel leak.

[@edwardquinn756]

I think you’d easily get $7500. Power wash the outside and possibly try to buff it. Peel off the worn out vinyl stickers and maybe get some new ones printed. If you’re at a campsite and running on plug in power you should be able to sleep much more comfortable without the noise and heat of the generator. Maybe dynamat the generator compartment?

You have a 3 way fridge, it can run on propane, 12 volt or 120 volt. It needs to be perfectly level to run on propane. The switch under the sink is to turn on the water pump.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

The switch under the sink is for the water heater. The water pump is above the door. But I appreciate it.

[@todddenio3200]

I suggest that you read all of the manuals before you start just trying to use everything. As for the refrigerator, it may be unplugged which is accessible from the exterior of the RV through a hatch right behind the refrigerator. The oven will only light once the pilot is lit which requires the oven knob to be pressed in and held in until the pilot is lit and stays lit which takes about a minute. You have a lot of learning to do about RV’s even if you plan on selling it right away.

[@kevinallen8162]

Randy, I am not certain but your awning appears to be either a Carefree of Colorado or an A and E awning. In either case, there should be a long metal rad with a hook in the end that engages the travel locks on either end of the top of the awning - then with the awning released from its secure travel position it is pulled open (there should be a fabric pull strap near the center of the awning that the hook on the metal rod can be used to pull). Once the awning is fully extended, each awning arm is extended - the arm furthest from the door is one notch lower than the one nearest door so that rain will drain should a rain storm come up before you can get the awning retracted,

[@kevinallen8162]

Be very cautious when plugging your RV into an outlet - it is most likely a 30-AMP 120-Volt AC service - but it is from near the time when the industry was changing to 50-AMP 120-Volt AC.

[@tyronetrump1612]

everyone and their mother does it

[@docgiggles130]

If you do go to an RV park, the generator will not be allowed to be run during "quiet hours." Replace your batteries! Next, have at least 3 fire extinguishers in it at all times. Do not trust the ones that are in it now. They are old and most likely will not work. Follow the fuel line all the way from the tank to the engine. My family had a motorhome like this one and the line was run too close to the exhaust causing it to vapor lock on almost every hill. Insulate the line if it is within 24". Check to make sure there no wire harnesses near the exhaust. We had another motorhome catch fire when the insulation around the wires melted due to the heat from the exhaust. Took 6 fire extinguishers to put it out (and keep it out) until we were able to disconnect the batteries. Unless you drive it all the time, install a battery cut off switch. RV batteries are stupid expensive and a cut off switch will save them from being discharged. This will also help stop someone from stealing the RV. It does happen, even on old ones. Make sure your tires are not too old. As you can see, it's not easy to take a tire off so the last thing you want is to have one go flat because it got too old. Get wheel covers (look like the cloth cover you see on tires mounted on the back of vans/jeeps, but made to go on a tires when parked) for all the tires when it is sitting. Sun is the biggest killer for the tires and a cover will keep the tires good for longer (some people lean boards against them or wrap a tarp around the tires in winter, but tire covers look better and don't blow off.) Learn how to winterize this when summer is over. Water/waste tanks will freeze and do a shocking amount of damage before you even know anything happened. Some will say all of these are not needed or a waste of time, but all of them will save more money in the long run

[@todddenio3200]

Some people find the hum and vibration of the generator to be soothing and puts them to sleep. As for the gas leak, if it’s that far back it’s not going to catch on fire from the exhaust temperature but still needs to be fixed asap for obvious reasons

[@matthewhill5130]

Propane ovens usually have a pilot light. Usually under the oven, most often with a thermocouple that sits right in front of the pilot light. Should be a button you hold down while holding a flame under the thermocouple. When the thermocouple reaches the proper temperature it opens the gas valve for the pilot light which will then light. Oven should now work. Read your manual for the stove. There may be a pilot light for the top burners. Suggest you read your manuals for your other accessories.

[@dcformee123]

Yes the ovens have to so they could turn on and off to keep a certain temperature they have to have a pilot light but the stove don't you have to light that with the lighter or match or whatever flicks your Bick. LOL

[@todddenio3200]

I recommend holding the oven valve in so gas can get to the pilot, light it and continue holding the valve in for about a minute then release it and it should stay lit. Using a lighter to heat the thermocouple can overheat the lighter which can be dangerous. A friend used to do it your way and the lighter overheated and stayed in the lit position which he didn’t notice when he sat it down and caught his RV’s carpet on fire.

[@elelegidosf9707]

Very nice - $2,700 was a steal for that. It doesn't matter what it looks like - what matters is the fun you'll have with your family camping in it.

[@jameelali1266]

Since you need to have an exhaust system on the RV, get some Zetex/exhaust wrap and wrap the exhaust pipe from the manifold to halfway down the system… that’s gonna keep the heat in the pipe…only.

[@carlbernard4197]

Also will accelerate the exhaust flow with the heat staying in the pipe. Hot air is less dense, so makes it easier for the engine to evacuate the spent gasses out the exhaust valves. This can increase output power and make the engine more efficient on fuel.

[@josephchapman256]

Great deal. In day and age, keep it for emergencies. I would love to have found it. Update cushions curtains and TV and appliances. Inside will be great. Take it to a place that wraps cars and get them to replace the stickers with wrap.

You need a pressure regulator for the water when you hook up to city water. Before you get the refrigerator going check for damage at the exhaust pipe for it to see that it isn't leaking. Do not start flipping switches until you have read the instructions. You might blow the rig up. Make sure the LP leak detector is operational. Ray

Randy, on that awning, there should be a metal rod with a bend at the end that you can pull the awning down with. In the middle of the awning there should be a loop to grab and pull down.

[@claytoncoolidge992]

Yup propane RV fridges use an absorbtion cooling system. They don't get cold super fast and they don't make ice or freeze unfrozen things that we'll but they keep stuff cold. It uses amonia refrigerant and the propane runs a flame that heats the amonia to boil it and similar to a compressor system uses the change in state from gas to liquid to produce the cooling for the interior of the fridge the reason they usually stop working on the electric side is the heating element goes bad and needs replaced.

You could swap out the existing interior lights for LED equivalent products, that will reduce the demand on the generator and will not generate as much heat as the old style bulbs.

Time for a lot of carb rebuilds. The propane heats up the coolant in the fridge unit and then it goes thru a condenser which makes it cold.

Delete that Cali emissions and that should fix your fuel leak. 3 D Cell MagLight that got to be worth some money now days since it still works.

[@marshallkixmoeller6239]

Motorhomes are weird - the chassis is built by GMC and delivered to the RV manufacturer in 1986, so it's a 1986 chassis. But the chassis sits at the RV plant, often for several months or more, until the unit is built. So the RV is now a 1987 model but with a 1986 chassis.

Randy, great score. I am a Full Timer for 17 years now and on my 4th RV. There's a lot to learn. Be sure your hot water tank is full before turning on. Plenty of summer left to try it out and doing it in the yard even better. LUCK ! Most RV's have a master cutoff switch that separates the house batteries from everything and also have a transfer relay that functions when you turn on the generator while plugged into shore power. Also known as a pass thru relay. House or coach batteries are separate from chassis battery. Maybe not on an older rig like yopurs. The transfer switch may be located near the house batteries. The captains chairs, pilot and co-pilot may be able to be rotated , look for a lever on the side to pull and turn the chair at the same time. The back bedroom with the late day sun on it will build up heat in the walls and then radiate it back into the coach. The water heater and fridge seem to have manual switches to go between propane and electric. Todays have automatic sw's. IRV2 is a great forum for looking up and getting fresh info. There are many RV DIY'ers that will help you just watching what they've done PIPPI Peterson Gone with the Wynn's are 2 I like

In the middle of the awning there should be a canvas loop that you grab with your hood tool. Pull this down the awning will pull towards you and down.

You need to push the stove button in , that opens the valve then light it. You have to make sure the pilot stays lit .

Nice find! We had a 889 ford/John deers chassis 34' with Ford 460. Almost identical nose. Awning pu'lls out with strap, remove "c" clamps ( halfway up legs). Leave attached a bottom. Use the rod with L shaped end, hook in center strap and gently pull out.it is spring loaded. Once deployed at whatever angle you want, extend legs and reinstall c clamps. MY SHOULD RUN OFF SHORE POWER. If you want sell, let me know, I loved ours, wish I hadn't it.

THE FIRST THING I WOULD DO IS CHANGE ALL THE LIGHT BULBS TO LED BULBS, THAT SHOULD HELP EXTEND YOUR ENERGY, CHANGE ALL TO LED

Love it. Gotta be one of the best. Love how the channel has been changing and growing. Hope your uncle is doing good. Looking forward to an update on the house buying and maybe remodeling it. Keep up the hard work Randy. You have come a long way

[@jeremyTallen1]

You can replace all those bulbs with a bag of LED bulbs for $20 off Amazon and they don't put off any heat they also don't use much electricity and are brighter.

It’s worth the money to do the right thing. What comes around goes around. Love the videos. Your are very positive and honest. Thanks

[@brycehunter1513]

Probably needs to get a charge on the battery

Former owner of a Chevrolet chassis RV here. Your power steering belt is vital, it gives your brakes power. Hydroboost. To the fuel end, just dont fill it as full and you'll be ok

[@jllucci]

I'd convert all the internal lights to LED lights

To roll out awning: Do not detach at the bottom! The black knobs are spring pins. Pull pins out, lift arm and roll out That style is easier to have two people. One on each arm. Can raise and lower arm for height when extended. There are springs in the tube that allows to roll up evenly unless springs are broken, then lift back into position. There may be on the forward side of the tube a little lever for locking the spring. You may also have an optional spreader that goes in the center between RV and and tube that supplies tension. Critters and such love small places!!! See Below: Clean out the service area of the fridge! Very important! Do this first!. Same with the furnace-Outside intake and exhaust and the plenum and fan inside. The fridge needs a new electric heating element. Just replace the Water Heater or you will be sorry walmart has them ( cheapest ). The number 1 cause for RV fires is the fridge due to critters and mud wasps. # 2 is a toss up between water heater and furnace. Follow the link to get these accessories to eliminate intrusion into those areas For that old fridge access panel get aluminum screen and attach to the inside of the panel. Pop rivets work well, rivet from the outside - in using washers on the inside. Must Be Aluminum or Stainless. www.campingworld.com/flying-insect-screen-6-16-gallon-water-heater-vents-81386.html www.campingworld.com/flying-insect-screen-for-duo-therm-suburban-and-durotherm-furnaces-37390.html I hope you use it! Jessica will come around once all is working and nice. Happy Camping! Rick :)

You bought a motorhome that you know nothing about and you also have a compulsion to push every button and switch you come across 🤔 very dangerous in an RV, read your manuals that you have with this motorhome. It may save your life.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I lived.

[@MrDanielmarlowe]

I have a evaporative fridge on my new boat that can run off propane or AC/DC electric if your using propane it is less efficient than electricity. It’s awesome. That’s probably what’s in the RV.

[@robbiea7485]

So jealous Randy so jealous lol you have a good one there, keep it and have fun with your family for many years to come 👍

[@bincockwell2610]

I drove a bus in the Army with a similar set up. 1991 chevy 4500 454 3speed cut away. Drove great, got us back to the ranges and back at Ft. Leonard Wood Missouri.

[@christopherbrown-co1bn]

That was an awesome score on that RV. Hell of deal and it's nice too. You scored big! Congrats man. All you have to do now is fix the gas leak and she'll be good to go.

[@todddenio3200]

The awning has 2 latches up on top that need to be released before the awning can be extended. It also has those lower latches on the legs and plastic handled lock bolts that have to be loosened before use. There should be a rod with a hook on it to catch the fabric loop at the center of the awning to pull it out.

[@williamdevore8861]

Change your lights to led on inside. Lots cooler and brighter.

[@danielheartsill4269]

For today's tv you will have to go get a converter box to make the tv operate. Since that tv was made everything is now digital thus the need for a converter box. In the OKC area you probably have eighty to ninety stations. In the Dallas area we have one hundred thirteen channels. Something you don't get on most cable/dish systems on the antenna PBS has four channels. Most pay tv still just shows one.

[@josephdougherty2399]

When you deploy the awning ... Loosen the thumb knobs and lift the tops out of their holding notchs and deploy outward and upwards and lock in place ....the real spool is spring loaded to roll back up when stowing.. it's best to do this with two people....one on each arm.. When leaving for a period of time...stow that awning...they don't do well in high winds

[@Roadglide911]

Switch by the steps operate the awning. If it’s a manual awning loosen round knobs get metal hook and pull from the top.

[@casperfarva4824]

I was excited for this video. I grew up having an RV similar to this one minus the awning! There were a few things we couldn’t use in ours as well! Neat seeing this one come to life!

[@danielventura8073]

Yes let's see more! Especially the gas tank repair.

[@gabrielanthony3339]

I love this era of RVs. Can't wait to see more.
