I had to stop your video where I seen the Man from Sling Blade, Billy Bob Thorton as Karl, say, It Ain't Got No Gas In It☺️🤣☺️Loved that movie. Just started watching your video and I am liking it. I will be watching more videos and if Y'all don't mind, I would like to share with my 2 brothers, David and Wayne. They both mechanics, just donate any license. They have always worked on their own vehicles as long as I can remember. David my oldest brother living, is legally blind now, but he still tries to help Wayne out whenever he can. Have a Wonderful day 😊 ☺️ 😀

The battery isolator controller prevents you from running down the main batteries if you run the 12v accessories if the engine is not running. In other words, if you run your interior lights until the batteries are run down, you can still start the engine.

[@jeffatkinson7290]

The commercial you were thinking of was for "Mr. Microphone" The guy says "hey good looking, we'll be back to pick you up later." ❤ the 70s and 8os advertising 😂

[@kevinswinyer3176]

The 2 6 Volt Batteries hooked up in Series are the House Batteries. There is supposed to be a 12 Volt Starter Battery next to the House Batteries.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Good to know!

Hi, I'm Andy. I liked seeing how you revived this RV truck. I would like to see the second part, seeing this truck driving on the road. Excellent work, guys. Congratulations. 😉👏🖐

I'd love to see that gen get running too and a good clean

[@ab.3800]

Pressure washing would flood the inside probably judging on the wallpaper and ceiling it has quite a bit of leaks

[@mr.soundtek5793]

This was impressive! I have never seen so many gravity checks as you and Wally tried to do the battery install. The lead in those terminal bolts was trying to get back to mother earth. Must have been all the lead in them. Great video as always.

[@danielwood6843]

Hey Hank, quick suggestion, see if you can pick up a good old fashioned G.I. surplus machete, use a magnet to fasten it to the lid of the toolbox, and you’ll have something for the weeds, and small trees and such , God bless you both, enjoy y’all’s videos, take care , see y’all later

THE LOWER GRILLE is hinged at the top for easier access! You will also want to hook up your 12 volt battery to the cables for your left. This is the battery for the engine and chassis.

Now that was fun to watch , I own what we call a Motorhome in Scotland I had a 6 berth kontiki 2.5 diesel for over ten years and it was a 89’ I sold it last year just £500 less than I originally bought it for, your video on this brings back many happy memories,these can easily be stripped and refitted quiet easily as long as damp hadn’t got in to the floor or sides otherwise it a strip to framework and if you going that far may be worth strip it all out and re kit it with newer fittings ect and 44k on miles is that first time or second time around ?? I did around 40k mikes in my ownership abd it was close to the 100k mark when I sold mine so it hardly done any miles if they genuinely correct . Just keep putting up these videos I love my Saturday night Hamiltion farm show .

[@emprsnm9903]

@8:30 You're referring to 'Mr. Microphone' The short range FM wireless microphone that would transmit to any FM radio on the tuned frequency. Just flip it on, and talk to anyone nearby. "Hey good looking, be back to pick you up later!"

[@jarmstrong2843]

All I know about RVs is that they are big gas hogs. This one looks like it is well past its prime days. May be a good candidate for the scrap yard since it would cost more to refurbish than what it is worth.

[@kingofthepod5169]

That little onan would be wonderful as a backup generator. The one I found had a 2 cylinder flat engine, like half a VW beetle engine.

[@Fatamus]

That dipstick went back to the differential 🤣😂🤣😂

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Good job guys on this old rv. Not much left of it. All used up I would say. Lots of different systems on these units. You guys did great. It’s going. Thanks for everything. Take care hank and Wiley. The Iowa Farm Boy.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for watching!

[@garyphillips7993]

Could you have pulled the grill off the front to gain easier access to the batteries? Looked that way on the video 🤔

[@jackanderson1418]

The space for another battery is most likely for a coach battery to run interior lights and water pump. Great vidio. Thanks

[@jamespevey4382]

Hey guys just a some friendly advice about your the best ground for your test light. The key in the ignition is the best ground.

[@danswartwood4580]

Thank you Hank, I appreciate your APPRECIATION

[@richardcline1337]

This reminded me of the old '78 Allegro my late wife (passed away almost 24 years ago) and I bought and fixed up. It has basically the same floor plan. The batteries were in a slide out tray on the driver's side of the rig. We had a lot of fun in that thing even though it did try our patience a few times with the breakdowns but it was well worth everything just to enjoy the trips in it. That 454 Chevy engine was really strong. The worst thing we had happen was the trip down to south Florida when we pulled into a BP station (we should have known) and got a bunch of water in the fuel tanks. The generator was the first thing to fail and after that it was a battle just to get it back home. I had to drive with my foot on the floor and hope no state trooper was in a bad mood that day. We made it home just as the fuel began to clear up and I could drive it like normal. The one time I needed fuel alcohol and NOBODY had any! It didn't seem to hurt the engine any and the Onan started right up once I drained and flushed the carburetor bowl. If I had the time left, and the money to fix it up, I'd love to have this old rig. None of the modern computerized junk to have to fight with. A trip to Lowe's pretty well provides everything you need to repair it.

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

what i’d do is carry spark plug wires so if you needed a set to test something or just a wire in this case. you need to check the oil in the gen. summer starting/ spring onwards. winter setting. usually you’d go out run stuff and or plug your rv in to keep stuff up. neglects gets you mid evil mess

[@118nate5]

Hank on the rats, chewing spark, plug wires. I've always heard that they use vegetable oil when pulling the layers together making them that's why the rats chew on them.

[@nelsonmattoon150]

The other two batteries are for the starter and the other one is for the stuff on the RV itself

[@kWT49]

I'd sure like to have that generator.

[@tnheritage6218]

Awesome job on the gas engine for a change, you all did good on this one. Makes you wonder at one time how much fun maybe a family had using that bad boy. I appreciate you guys having clean fun. I will be in Mexico City Beach at the end of May if you want to buy me some shrimp and fish at Cat 5's.... LOL

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Heard that pace is getting rebuilt to be very nice

[@faerieSAALE]

Just as it sits right now - not cleaned up - Cousin Eddy would love to own that motor home! Hopefully, the rubber sheets and the gerbils are optional!

[@joeschnell5695]

I loved the “hummus” joke. To quote Larry the cable guy “ I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there!”

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Lol

[@grahamepigney8565]

An RV will have a starter battery and one or more leisure batteries to power the 12v systems in the RV itself. The two electrical systems will be isolated from one another with some sort of split-charge relay so as to make sure that the starter battery is prioritised over the leisure batteries.

[@wynottgivemore9274]

I'd love to own a RV like that,I'd have it and live in it year round...of course this one needs a little work ,but it's what I've always wanted.✌️ Great video,you guys finally got something started 😀😀😀 lol! God bless!

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

You know you can get an RV for a real good price that's in good shape right now! Covid got people to buy them like they were going out of style, and well, they are now out of style so they're SUPER cheap!! Go for it!

[@m9ovich785]

Who Pooted ?? It's sad that people let these things go to waste.. Thanks Guys...

[@i.f.colville2497]

A lot of these old RVs had an extra battery for starting but ran on 2 batterys but the relays often burnt out and were disconnected or bypassed.

[@ab.3800]

This is probably on a workhorse p30 chassis I would think, it should have some kind of drum break on the tailshaft of the transmission if it is. I have a 2000 Condor RV with the last gen 454

[@reedb9039]

Those 454 engines are high in demand.

[@michaelcatalano1447]

I've got a 92 Fleetwood Coronado and its probably 70% similar. Bought it started it drove it home 60+miles a year ago. It will crank right up. Mine has a 12v and supposed to have 2 6 volts for house power but I've yet to completely figure that out. It seems the 2 6v would power the crank on the generator and ..... The Odometer (led)? Although the 12v house power seems to only come off the converter after generator being started. I really love it just wish I was better at carpentry and such. The engine runs and drives but seems as its been sitting most of its life. If I wanted to get that engine and transmission to top shape what would be best recommendations. I would love to take a 2k mile trip in it. any suggestions are appreciated.

[@giorgio5689]

an immense but not impossible restoration project, the only problem is the chassis because if it's rotten it's all to be thrown away, you save the engine 🤔

[@noelwarner1235]

A low-mileage big block that would make a good motor for a pickup or a 1-ton dump. Surprised it started usually when gasoline sets that long it goes bad and won't hardly burn. I think that's more like an Oh -no generator

[@torsten92]

love watching these guys

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thank you

[@jameslongerbone1388]

Most RV's have a switch on the dash to start the generator

[@Highlander111172]

Did you look for a bank of switches on the side of the stairs going into the RV? many RVs have their coach battery under those stairs. If that's not connected, no go. Most RVs are a 12v system.

[@redneckbryon]

It's crazy how many RVs actually end up like this, people spend a lot of money on them, they use them for a few years, then in the end they get parked and end up like this. There's a much older one on auction near me, very similar condition inside. Wiley is correct, it's a Chevy with AGI not a Ford or Dodge, It Will Run.

[@brianpulstsr8680]

Good luck with the brakes! I'm going to bet this is a P-30 Chassis with power boost brakes. If you figure out how to make them work, please post the video!

Unfortunately that unit has major water damage inside as you can see on the walls where the moisture destroyed the wood. You could rebuild it but it would require complete rebuild.

[@stonerdude4611]

I had an 1988 Chevy framed, 4 batteries 2 6v house and, 1 12v for engine, may have rear Firestone air bag suspension. 10 gallon propane tank with external valve for external tank. If you need smog test done use small truck with single exhaust test. start generator with inside dash switch. should have Chevy 350 motor should be gas, Switch should be for house power activation. Switch getting in on left entering is for fold out stairs. propane tank be stinky old smell is old propane fridge is in propane mode and tank valve is open. black tank will smell pretty what you smell. first flush black crapper tank the smell will go away. This unit was $ 55,000 new good luck.

[@davidthomas4489]

The BEST place for this thing is the junkyard. I had a '93 Pace Arrow and it was all I could do to keep it maintained. RVs that old and sitting for that long develop mold and rot and are totally unrepairable. I guess if you are a scavenger who enjoys messing around with these things more power to you. I made the mistake of trying to drive mine across the US and had nothing but problems. There wasn't an RV place that would look at it because it was too old. Unless the previous owner(s) meticulously maintained it by regular service, both the drivetrain and the body to prevent water intrusion and kept it in a climate-controlled environment, forget it.

[@carl5536]

Generator should run off of main fuel tank for the engine cause I had a 1972 model with a 454 engine and the Generator and engine ran off the same gas tank. That way you didn't have to keep adding gas to the Generator. Plus the fridge ran off of propane or electric Generator...Mine wasn't quite like that one but it was alot of fun to have. It resembled a huge Corvair Van front and rear...Mine also had an on and off switch inside for the Generator to have power to the ignition for the Generator. I'd flip a power switch inside and then hit the starter button and it'd fire right off. I think I'd change oils and everything before I'd go any further with it cause the Generator might just need something simple as a sparkplug but the best part of it is, you do know the engine runs and the rest of it shouldn't be too awful bad with everything operating just fine...I just hope those durn rattlers are gone. Didn't see skins where they shed and I've always heard that's a sign of where they live just so you know, but you guys probably already know that part of it. Good luck and God's got yalls backs on this one, I hope and pray for yall and God bless ya both with getting it up and rolling down the highway again...
