Doesn't Dave already have a big motorhome they use as a base camp? I think they should put it on freightliner chassis with nice soft riding airbags so the RV parts don't disintegrate from the rough ride. The 350 SB will probably give up under Dave's foot anyway. A small block is awesome and hard to kill but it's draging around 10,000 lbs. of shoebox! Its currently running empty and he's already unhappy with the power output. Beautiful, unique ride do with at as you see the need.

Keep it!! Use it as part of the recovery team. So when your out on recovery at least you got a place to stay, so you don't have to drive back multiple hours after a long recovery.

Decent diesel lump in it, better brakes, gearbox with overdrive for higher speed cruise, sway bars to reduce the body roll - or something it rather swayey, possibly put it on air for an even more magic carpet ride, plus you can drop it onto bump stops - or axle stands - so when parked up and it is windy it doesn't rock But cosmetics, nothing more than tidying it up.

Approximately 38 years ago my first husband and I met a couple in Reno,NV that were selling off their extra trucks and retiring to actually get to see/ visit all the places they had delivered to over a 40 year family owned trucking company career. They kept their favorite cab over Freightliner & had the frame extended so they could have a custom body built on it, then had the interior done to the wife's specifications. The truck motor was upgraded some but kept original, (they couldn't sleep without their "truck" running)! They were only sticking around to sell the last truck before they started their next adventure. The pictures they showed us were fabulous!

As you say, you're not sure just what you'll do with it yet?? Keep it, sell it, give it away, who knows?? Just listening to your options and this popped into my mind as a thought.............. First off would be to give it a complete once over. Checking all mechanical, complete set of new tires, and ANY thing else that needed to be done to get it up to TIP TOP condition. Then you keep it........ BUT............. Not as a personal toy. Make it like a company benefit. You've got so many great people working for you. Everyone in the shop, the videos guys, I'm sure office people that we never even see............ So I'm sure some of those folks would love maybe the option of being able to use it at times. Vacation time rolls around and someone wants to go camping for a week. So OK, no problem, here you can use the FreighLiner RV. OH, and by the way..... Thanks for all your hard work. !!!

Love the camper! I’d update the drivetrain, maybe back to deisel.(would only be fitting). Big manual 5 speed. Then I’d use the neck out of it. I bought a Jeep gladiator and a nice camper a few years ago. Wife had a heart attack and we’ve had to cut way down on our plans, so that would be a great camper rig for an old truck driver.

I love it. It is just the Engineer in me all over! I am a Fitter/Turner by Trade, but I have worn many Caps in the past 36 years from Apprentice to Production Engineer! Currently Spiralweld repairing components for the Marine and Power Industry in the UK. We are now a dying breed over the Pond! We make so little here now and we once were leaders of the Game! You guys Rock 🍻👌

The only thing that seems missing is a passenger entrance so they don't have to enter through the cab doors. Personally I'm not too big on the late 80s - early 90s vibe of the upholstery but it is what it is. Keep her and cherish her. Take her places like the Saline Valley or the border lands north of Death Valley National Park or to Bryce Canyon. The thing is She is a call to having an adventure. So don't sell her or give her away. I would not give it away if I owned it. I'd have to find someone willing to go on the road with me. After all, Adventures should be shared. In any case I'm glad you found it.

Squirrels can be certified buttholes!! There was a few that used to torture my basset hound by pelting him with pecans and acorns all the time and would throw stuff on the tin roof of my shed when I was in there trying to do something which made all kinds of noise then they would disappear when I came out with a bb gun! 😡

The amount of time and effort that went into this is very impressive. Definitely a one of a kind rig. It for sure deserves to get fixed up but maintain the period, because it's literally a time capsule. This is a good reminder to people who don't drive dually's how freaking stuck those inside duals can be. Those ones were on there, but I've seen way worse.

You guys have connections everywhere you go and if something would happen you know they would be there to bail you out. That’s why I enjoy watching your videos because one never knows what crazy things you are going to get into next.

I thought you were gonna cry, Dave, when you first opened the door. So retro & clean!!! I would love to see you enjoy it with your family, let your extended family enjoy it, if & before you sell or whatever you decide to do. Excited to see upgrades, too! Will you keep it retro, or modernize??? Either will be great to see. I think I am a "dinosaur" fan of yours. I am a partially disabled senior. I have traveled very little, never been off-roading, never really camped, etc. I love the whole crew & enjoy being part of your adventures. I became a big Cerro Gordo fan, after watching all the work y'all did up there. We live in Southern California, so certainly could access CG & many other places. Blessings to you, your beautiful family, & The Crew.

That RV is original and can't be duplicated. There's not one single thing about it that's "retro". "Retro" is a modern copy of older design. The new Mustang, Camaro and Challenger are all "Retro" designs that take styling cues from older models if you need an example.
