Wow ... job well done .... Thanks for sharing.... !!!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@cajsheen2594]

It's looking really good! Well worth the effort you've put in and I never thought you would get it all done in that short time. I'm sorry you have been so efficient because I was looking forward to more episodes, these are always interesting and enjoyable and lots of families would love owning something like that! Interest will be strong, I'm sure! ❤ XXX

[@pennytarleton7364]

I really hope you and the family go visit Heather in it!!@

It would be really neat to have Stephen paint a picture on the the outside panel you just painted

[@celieneohara521]

Great idea! A nature mural!

[@wslan6080]

I thought the same thing ! That would be fabulous !!

[@joanparro5777]

I thought that's what Stephen was gonna do when he was up there.

[@stephaniepowers-tanguay6346]

Great idea!

[@jenjenny867]

I thought that too!!

30:29 I’d be tempted to reupholster the cushions with the same fabric used on the captain’s chairs.

Alex you are simply amazing! The work and pride that you put into every project you touch shows, and it means a lot to people, thank you for taking us with you. 🥰

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Wow, thank you!

[@JennasMusic76]

@@CuriosityIncorporated You're so welcome! You and your family have given so many people joy and I have watched you since day one. These past few years have been very tough and I always look forward to your videos thank you so much.

My parents got their first motor home in 1980. They were HUGE Tennessee Volunteer football fans and followed their team all over the US, and actually visited all 48 states they could drive to. Dad was diagnosed with cancer in early 2000s, and they sold their pride and joy. I know they both cried.

[@handisandi7246]

It was an acquired taste in the 70's and that green is still so!!! I guess it is what it is.

[@soniagallaher3544]

Great work and good that mice didn’t eat through the upholstery

[@stevengrotte2987]

IT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE VERY INTERESTING GETTING INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT. ACTUALLY THE MOTOR HOME LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wendy833]

I love this motorhome. That would be cool to park at a lake property.

[@ericpinkney384]

Be sure to thoroughly check the vacuum brake booster(large piece behind the master cylinder) as the rubber diaphragm will perish and cause your weak braking issue. The old Barth is looking awesome. It just needs some loving. Cheers and keep the great content coming.

[@dennisnemitz6823]

This might be my favorite series you have done.

My uncle ordered a Travco "Travstar 320" in late- 1975 from Lynnwood Dodge, just north of Seattle. In a short amount of time, it went up to Alaska and stayed up there until the early 2000's when it came back down to the Seattle area and was refreshed. Aunt & uncle used it for a few trips, then they gave it to me. I've put a genuine, French-made LeCarra steering wheel on it (optional starting in '77 or '78), retrofit LED bulbs in the vintage CIBIE fog & driving light housings, full compliment of 7 Alcoa wheels (spare included) and now keeping my eyes open for a 6BT & Allison transmission to transplant in. The well-built, vintage motorhomes are really becoming desirable. Airstream/Argosy, Barth, Clark Cortez, Condor, Foretravel, GMC, Revcon, Travco, Vogue as well as others in good shape aren't bad to own...

What a beautiful job on bringing life back to a beautiful camper .

[@lawrenceharp6396]

Looks great, the carpet worked with the lino floor ,and the seats came out wonderful. Somebody is going to want to snatch that right up!

[@SeeLionsInTX]

51 year-old motorhome 🎉 Very cool 😎

[@AlexTodd-60s]

Hello there

[@craigjohnson3603]

Good find, most RVs from that era had poor construction that one is an exception. With the aluminum roof especially. I had a Winnebago 1972 that I used and repaired for a couple of years most of them are scrap because of leaky roofs and ruined interiors. Your family could really have some fun with that. Those old Onan gen sets are simple. Happy camping.

[@stephaniepowers-tanguay6346]

I think you should consider replacing the cushions, personally I wouldn’t want to sleep on cushions that were dirtied by mice, even after pressure washing them. I’d be afraid of getting sick. New foam and new fabric, probably not super expensive and would be healthier for you all if you sleep in the motor home. 🙂

[@AlexTodd-60s]

It's all awesome and I really like how the driver and passenger seats look original!

[@The_Smith]

very important that the toilet radio works in a small space like that with paper thin walls . . .

[@youtvmetv]

I just wonder what happens when you have a shower?!

[@luminous3357]

➡️ Hope you replace that drape that separates the front and back of the motor home and the window curtains. It'd be cool to get some matching retro looking fabric.

[@branditodd3367]

Absolutely love what you did with it from start to finish! Very beautifully done

[@elmiewebster2596]

The couch at the back of the drivers seat also needs a pop of green

[@pamd4068]

I just enjoyed these motorhome videos so much. My dad owned a van the big one that we traveled in and it brought back so many memories. Just watching this. We would camp and do all kinds of things. He's gone now, this video warms my heart. I know you said somebody bought it to use as a work building outside their home, which will be so cool and to travel with. I hope we get to see a little bit of that. I don't know if that will happen but that would be cool to see.

[@NitrousDiecast]

Looks good!

[@karenmilligan5597]

The touch of green is everything. Good job, Alex and Stephen. 💚

[@TheMeloettaful]

It really is! I was afraid he would paint all the wood, but what he actually did was a really nice touch 👌💚.

[@carolsadler1934]

Really disagree. That green is too yellow for the time, looks odd with placement and doesn't go well with the orange. First time I've totally disagreed with one of your redos.

[@jewelinthedesert]

I agree. I think a nice orange might have been a better color choice. It still looks really good.

[@deborahschoenherr784]

You might check the date on the fire extinguisher. with all the mice they might have chewed through thins wires and such.

Spoosh of color.... love it!!!!! Nice seeing the motorhome perked up!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@amnas69]

They did a great job on the seats.

[@Saavik256]

1970s motor homes have such a unique aesthetic to them. Excellent job rebuilding it! :) Also, it has more seating than any motor home I've ever seen!

[@lisaloy2011]

You could drive that through the states. Take the boys with you.

[@SwirlingSoul]

If you haven't sold it yet, I'd consider changing the fabric on the seat cushions too, to the fabric of the driver seats. It calms the whole thing down and lifts it up in cleanness too. Mostly because those old cushions just look shabby to my eye, and the newly upholstered front seats look SO much better and cleaner! I think you can ask a lot more for this thing if you do those too. Except I don't know what it'd cost to do that. I can understand you wanting to move it on quickly, but I hope you guys keep "The Bus" for a while longer! It's such a sturdy thing! Can you imagine some cool late 60's paintings on the outside? (just imagine, I don't mean DO, LOL! )

[@benthere801]

Please replace the orange carpet adjoining the engine cover! That sticks out like a sore thumb!

[@susanorr7535]

Congratulations!

To seal with foam any little space for mice to go in too… they aren’t “ far”😅

[@urbanurchin5930]

Currently, the market is pretty soft for the sales of these motor homes. But since he has only time and minimal other expenses invested, he should make out fairly well if he finds an interested buyer. I sold one during COVID - - but had to come down to around $4K USD.

Another small point. The previous owner of my 1977 Minnie Winnie had switched from 16.5" rims to 16", when they bought a dandy set of new tires. Then they parked it for 10 years, and to avoid a dry rot blow out, and a towing bill, I got 6 new 16" tires for $3,000.
