Is This the End of RV Life?? - Back to Our Vintage Camper... But We Have a HUGE Problem! 😭

[@CookingAroundTheWorld]

I remember once saying to my mechanic that I was going to buy a second hand car that had done 200,000 miles. But it had recently had a brand new engine fitted, so it would be fine. My mechanic looked at me and said "Your problem will be that the rest of the car will still have done 200,000 miles". Your problems are ongoing and really you should sell Clementine and look for a 2010 model RV. Spend your time traveling, rather than fixing.

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

Your little transition at the intro where she turned the camera upside down literally cracked me up. 🤣 if I was a multi-millionaire I would pay to have a new motor for you kids, you are two of the most genuine KZbinrs I have the pleasure of watching each week and it kills me that you don't get to live your dream in that RV after all the work you put into it. Sending good vibes your way 🤞

[@badchex]

I'm so sorry guys. I have a feeling you've been the victims of incompetent and possibly, unscrupulous repair shops. A competent, knowledgeable, and honest mechanic, would have had all those needs taken care of in a visit or two. There's no reason you should have to keep returning Clementine for more repairs or uncompleted work. Best of luck going forward and love your channel!

[@eg1885]

The sad truth is that engine swaps have a reputation of acting like this. That's why people immediately sell their cars afterwards. I did an engine swap on an old buick about 20 years ago for $700. It ran, but never as well as it did originally. They probably would've been better off rebuilding the original chevy motor that was in it.

[@miketech79]

I really feel like the moment Eric said that they were supposed to return Clementine back to the repair shop for an engine adjustment after a short burn-in of the new engine (set number of miles) and they did not do this that this would mean major problems from that point onward. Perhaps Eric did not hear them say this or who knows what the miscommunication was. Nonetheless I don't think you can put sole blame on the mechanics here. Yes, it's unfortunate this happened. But Eric needs to take responsibility for some of this.

[@stevedexter9236]

With Clementine, you will always be able to make some sweet lemonade when she gives you lemons. Turning her into an Airb&b would be pretty awesome, and the old girl could make you some scratch! We had a class C when I was a kid in the 70s, and it broke down ALL the time, even though it was pretty new back then. Afraid to say it but you will probably have nothing but LOTS more problems, especially on a trip as long as a 50 stater. She’s just to old, and too hard to keep running. Most RVs, even the new ones like you’ve shown, are not built to last, and they don’t. Would love to see you restore a vintage travel trailer someday! Go with an Airstream, those WERE built to last!! Love your vlog!!

[@passingthroughtime3033]

The Travel Beans are in Michigan picking up their new campervan. Drive Ruby up there and do tent or cabin camping for two weeks in the Upper peninsula with them, while Clementine is being fixed. Then you can continue on from there with traveling the states together, as originally planned!

[@Theendlessadventure]

That actually sounds like a pretty stellar plan 🏕

[@passingthroughtime3033]

@@Theendlessadventure It's the perfect plan. You can all find a camp ground in the upper peninsula where it is cool. You can stay in a tent or maybe find a cabin. It is beautiful in that area, and there is a lot to do. The weather will be cool in the 70s. When Clementine is done, Michigan is not far from the Chicago area, go pick her up, and carry on with your original plans of all four of you all traveling together from state to state. If you all go east through Ohio, and Pennsylvania, you would then end up in New England states to finally experience the fall colors, and then end up in Maine to get lobster right on the docks, and go see Mount Desert Island, Arcadia National park to see the whales. Once done with New England, as the temperature starts to get too cool, head south to the warmer states.

[@Jhawkkat]

@@passingthroughtime3033 That sounds like a wonderful plan.

[@passingthroughtime3033]

@@Jhawkkat Exactly! There is cool forest, no more being too hot, Mackinac island, sleeping bear dunes, the crystal clear blue water of the great lakes, Arch rock, waterfalls, fishing villages, stunning scenery, and so much more. I hope they do it. Everything will come together.

[@ewern]

@@Theendlessadventure YES! I was thinking the same thoughts. BUT your troubles with camper does point out that a trailer makes a lot more sense for RVing. Did you catch Kara and Nate's post today on their Orient Express travel. SIMPLY INSANE!

[@Maidendg]

Guys! You had the PERFECT opportunity at the car show to talk with old school gearheads! They LOVE to gtg and diagnose things like that. I'm almost positive they would have figured it out and also hooked you up with someone who knows those engines and could fix it with their eyes closed and one arm behind their back. That car show was full of people that know engines inside and out. I wish you would've made a separate post of Clementine's newest issue before deciding to ship it to Chicago to let us give you some suggestions. I'm surprised you have to pay for them to diagnose it. That engine isn't under warranty with that repair shop still? If they didn't do it right the first time, or second time, etc. I personally wouldn't trust them to get it right with another attempt.

[@RonAmundson]

I put a quarter million miles on a mid 70's 350.... with almost nothing other than routine maintenance. Granted carbs and ignition parts from that era are long in the tooth, but old school car guys will know what is good for show, what is go for go, and what is going to be the most bulletproof. They will also know what is mission critical from an installation and ongoing service point of view to avoid the specialty hot rod scenario where only a single shop has the knowledge to work on the specific set of components chosen.

[@applebutter4036]

I feel for these guys. The mechanics they're taking it to are telling them they can't work on it and it needs to go back to Chicago. If memory serves, that shop took forever the first time around. I would not want to take it back there. I have to say, I'm totally shocked that they couldn't find someone local to fix it. Even with these new EFI's, the 350 is about as basic as it gets. This isn't some exotic v5 euro-diesel.

[@Maidendg]

@@applebutter4036 I feel for them too. I bought a 2006 motorhome and waited until I found a Chevy (definitely harder to come by) because I'm familiar with working on them, I've had several Camaros and a WS6 TransAm. I went to many races and car shows, hung out with F-body people. I'm not sure who is giving them advice like towing it to Chicago, but I know its hard to figure out what to do when you're not familiar with cars. I hope they start taking Ruby to more car shows in hopes of becoming friends with the car scene people, it really helps having friends like that. It could save you lots of money if you don't work on your own vehicles.

[@rickhiggins6521]

OMG!! I agree. That must be the most common vintage motor out there. There are likely more mechanics that can work on that than the new ones. It is probably something as simple as a bad plug wire or something. The car show would have been the perfect place to find info on a mobile mechanic at least. I hate seeing you guys taken advantage of. Don;t give up on the Chevy. You just need a better mechanic.

[@chucklewis6838]

Was an RVer for over 40 years and know the joys and heartaches. Even managed an RV resort for a few seasons. Was full time until a hurricane ate everything and discovered that my ex didn’t pay the insurance premium. Against all odds have been rooting for you and still am. Clementine is an old girl and your travel goals are very ambitious for a newborn. 48 states in two years is sprinting a marathon. Not only is she going to need to be pampered, but you are going to miss out on a lot because you are touching base with little to do the kind of exploration that you consistently do. There are multiple solutions. There are experienced people in most campgrounds and resorts. There are “work campers” in many of them. Talk and think, talk and think, rinse and repeat. You might want to take shorter hops and literally check her over completely at the end of each hop. We tried to keep evey leg under 250 miles and usually had to tweak something every time we stopped. You might want to aim for numbers that are considerably below capacities You have an awful lot of options as long as you stay objective and flexible. One suggestion might be once the engine mechanic is done with Clementine you might want to take her to a large full service RV dealership and ask them to do a full checkup and recommendations. They are specialized for the same reason that you don’t take Ruby to a motorcycle dealership for a tuneup. Good luck 👍. Hope that things work out satisfactorily.

[@sharlamccall]

Just do NOT every get repairs performed at Camping World.

[@cindland]

Very good advice. I hope they take it.

[@old-time-family-cooking]

The education you have provided me is priceless. Thanks to your pain you have prevented mine.

[@danverbeke3042]

I know its late now, but that old engine, although rebuilt.... is always going to give you issues. I would highly recommend looking into installing a LS engine, like what would come in a 2500 Chevy truck. Should be a 6.0 liter engine, and you can put a 4L80E transmission in it, and then you will have overdrive as well.

[@peterolson823]

This is the right answer.

[@cadifan]

I suggested that before they did the last engine rebuild, didn't follow my advice. Lesson, listen to car people.

[@nujayfabrication8089]

Agreed this although a bit costly will do alot for clementine and wake her up on the road and also make her 120% reliable

[@cadifan]

@@nujayfabrication8089 Yeah exactly. Only the initial cost would be more expensive but after you take out the break down repairs, towing fees, time off the road renting something else, it's cheaper in the long run. They went for the cheaper option which when you're spending big money is totally understandable, but not being car people as they've admitted they didn't have the knowledge to make the best decision. Updating with modern equipment is always a better option.

[@davidr7872]

An LS would be a huge bill. More than the RV is worth. The engine and 4L80E plus computer plus the extra labor to fabricate the mounts, new drive shaft, exhaust, bigger radiator, etc. The answer WAS a new crate engine. Have the transmission rebuilt and upgrade to a HEI. Every bolt on part is available everywhere and any shop in North America can work on it. Any half witted nincompoop can fix alot of the things you'd run into with basic tools. These two have no sense. I have a 1974 GMC witha a crate 350 tied to a 350TH I just had rebuilt for $950.00 with a 2 year warranty. I can replace the alternator in ten minutes, wp in 30 minutes fuel pump in 10 minutes. Of course vans would take longer than a pickup but the idea is the same.

[@vintagemoss9578]

At some point you’re going to have to decide when enough is enough. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense to keep putting money into it. With the amount of money you’re putting into the RV you might want to think about buying a much much newer Camper trailer. I would probably think a 5th wheel or something you can pull. Just a thought guys🥰🇨🇦 Put a tow package on the Durango it’s cheaper than fixing the RV

[@charlesm.1638]

You must have thrown a lot of money into that RV and my best guess is almost the value of a new/used a little bit more modern RV. From all the videos since you got the RV I have enjoyed your videos but the RV has nothing been an headache.

[@Skittl1321]

Seriously- sunk cost fallacy. At some point they just need to cut it loose and stop sinking money into it.

[@mdduet]

I also enjoyed watching and really commend them for all of the hard work. But as this money pit progressed I continued to have a bad feeling about how it would turn out. Asking a lot out of an older vehicle. Not like buying a classic car to rebuild and just trailer to car shows or do a Sunday drive with. Might have been better and safer to just buy something newer.

[@imissmayberry12]

@@mdduet they also added a hella amount of weight to the old girl with all the wood floors and then having her pull another vehicle. Just too much.

[@rjtharp2]

I wonder if this will ever be seen, but here is a crazy out of the box concept. What if this could be turned into a travel trailer. They would need a truck to tow it, but here me out. If you take out all the "vehicle" components such as the engine, transmission, dashboard and steering wheel, front seats, wheels and even the front doors. Then mount the body onto a trailer bed, fabricate siding to cover the front doors and wheel wells, and you could put a dinette where the dashboard and front seats were at. Some fabrication and work, and Clementine could be a travel trailer

[@davidthomas4489]

Furthermore, the guy who did your engine rebuild NEEDS to pay for towing!!!

[@janemonroe289]

[@richardtaylor8165]

[@renee2712]

I believe in you two AND Clementine! 🍊🍊🍊

[@nicolegodfrey859]

I feel so bad for you two. I really hope your persistence is admirable.

Whoever tuned the EFI should surely have a backup file or config. Ask your subs if anyone knows how to load the config into the EFI...

[@andysimkin5200]

I'm amazed that an EFI unit will "forget" a map. Surely it's flashed to a ROM to negate things like a dead battery

I am so sorry this is happening to you! I've been following along with your adventures with Clementine as I work on restoring my own camper. I know how much work, blood, sweat, and tears you have put into her. I truly hope for the best for you! In the meantime, It might not be what you want to do since you are having so many mechanical issues with Clementine...but you could probably get your Durango able to tow. It might not take too many upgrades and adding a tow hitch, depending on the size of trailer you want to pull.

Do you think you will finish this trip before you retire

[@tfntexas]

I’m so sorry you are having to go through this! Sometimes life doesn’t do like you want it to do…I really hope it works out for you soon! Good luck! Thanks for the video!

[@lafaele1980]

I feel sorry for Eric every time he does that nervous laugh 😂 I

[@sylvanaclark6850]

We feel so bad for you guys because you’ve put your heart & soul into Clementine. What’s the saying… “Count your blessings, not your stresses”. Pack your bags & head to Europe!! Relax, regroup and deal with everything when you get back!! Sylvana xx

[@annberlin5811]

Maybe suv endless adventure

[@frankmurphy3894]

Oh my gosh my heart breaks for you both. I love your stories and adventures though but sometimes the adventures and story is the journey. Enjoy!!! May the travel gods bless you ❤️

[@fabulouspinkmk10]

I just love your ability to go thru these difficult challenges and still have a good sense of humor. As long as you both have opportunities and wait to see what's at the end of each tunnel is quite amazing. Every day comes with its challenges, some small & manageable and some that are humongous and beyond our ability. But that doesn't stop the sun from coming up and the evening to display the moon and the stars. Your viewer believing your end is better than your beginning.

[@jeannesauvage117]

Oh, man, you guys! I am so very sorry! What a total drag. I am sending as many Clementine healing thoughts as a can to get her back on the road with you! Hang in there!!

[@The_Charlie_Whiskey]

The show must go on. Trade the Durango and hit the road “pop up life” 😂 Stay in B&Bs for a few weeks. Anything to keep to journey going. Vintage is cool, but…

[@cliffordkinnear9705]

Maybe the Missouri mechanic forgot to reconnect the idle air control sensor? the holley screen shows the IAC at 100 percent, it should be 2-10 percent. At 2:14 in your video the Holley monitor screen shows the idle air control (valve-sensor) at 100% !! it should be at 2 -10%.

[@NMBWoodworks]

In next weeks episode, Ruby tows Clemantine round 50 states!

[@marykempski3986]

I feel for you guys. After all of the work on Clementine, it is such a shame she is still not working properly. I’m thinking it’s a good idea to make her a very lovely air bnb. Then, maybe you can buy a more reliable, newer class c or class b to travel in so that you can realize your travel plans. It will be so nice for you guys to be out there in the coming fall weather. I was looking forward to your food stops throughout the country.
