TOUR of our FORD ECONOLINE E350 Coachmen RV Motorhome Renovation Project

[@gingerjolley9027]

This makes me feel so much better about my own project RV. I needed that. Cheers!

[@VintageRVAdventures]

We are glad this has given you some inspiration to continue on with your project.

[@bjbaspen]

@@VintageRVAdventures I wish I could say mine is better than yours however that is for sure not the case.🙄😬😑😐🫢🫣😭 Look for to your adventures

[@barbaracain5983]

I'm buying one like this on Friday ! It will be interesting to see if mine is worse... someone fell through the roof and it was never repaired....

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Ah cool, you will have to keep us updated how that goes and what yours looks like when you get it. You will have loads of fun getting it to a nice condition once more, we loved the rebuild of ours, and have no regrets buying her whatsoever.

[@josephmichaudjr.9477]

I just bought one of these 2 days ago, for $700.00 and drove it home. Needs a lot of interior and exterior love. Ours is a Citation Excella.

[@VintageRVAdventures]

That sounds a really good price. Best wishes with your project, i hope you have as much fun sorting it as we did ours.

[@josephmichaudjr.9477]

@@VintageRVAdventures, I will DEFINITELY be watching your renovation videos for ideas!

[@benwright6330]

Fridge probably Does work, can run off propane, and also, electric if you so choose. I'd have kept that.

[@VintageRVAdventures]

We installed a great little compressor fridge that only uses 66 watts when it is running. Keeps things lovely and chilled.

[@SilvertopMotorhomers]

What an RV and an amazing project it is going to be. Can’t wait to follow up with progress and We believe that it will look a million dollars once completed All the best from Mal, Dave and Sally the Lab aka The SilvertopMotorhomers x

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Thank you :-) .. We have fallen in love with the project. Tomorrow a skip arrives, and the interior will all be binned, then the refit begins :-)

[@markmangan8586]

Looking forward to your build 😊👍

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Thanks Mark, I certainly think we have lots of content to video for you all :-)

[@countryvanlifeuk]

There's a nervous exciting tone in your talk through John ? And that's how it should be my friend x We like a challenge And bloody hell mate you've got one LOL I can see through this ?? As you can, that's why you had to have it ? Its just rotten wood ?? And sheet metal/Alloy panel replacements, perhaps some welding , I know you have many friends with skill sets for this. One Big Skip a few days and you have a Blank canvas TO DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT There are many forums out there to assist. The engine is a pedigree and low mileage So hopefully a good service there will put her right. Theres going to be some down moments in the refit/refurb and expense BUT that will all melt into the Setting golden Sunset on a stunning Free Beach Wild Camp Park Up. All I can Say Is "Bring It On" ATB Bro to you and Samantha xx 🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐👍👍👊

[@VintageRVAdventures]

You are completely right Stephen, it is nervous times, we have not done this kind of project before, but we both have a vision for how we can transform the RV interior. We can do our own bodywork painting, any welding and we have help from a Brother In Law for the wooden internal structures, he is quite handy like that. When people tell me something is impossible, I force myself to prove them wrong 😊 At the moment we are looking at what materials we might need and making a list. A skip is being ordered for Thursday of this week, as I only work 3 days per week, and the first price quotes have just come in. We see vlogs like yours and the fantastic places you seem to find, and that is our driver for wanting to get this project finished for the 2022 season.. that little cove you stopped at across the road from the beach, a vlog or two ago, was amazing place to stop for a couple of days.. we want to be part of those experiences. Thanks for the support mate 😊 John & Samantha x

[@donjackson3306]

Looks like quite the project. Enjoy👍

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Thanks Don, we are really enjoying the rebuilding of Indiana, there is never a day that we are bored of her.

[@witheredfoxy9655]

I like the 2 seats,Better than my love seat/bed. That's in my 1994 E-350,RV.

[@VintageRVAdventures]

I am not sure what a love seat is to be honest 😁

[@CamperVanya]

Respect taking on this project but it’ll be worth all the blood, swear and tears! 👍🏻

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Thanks 😃 We love the motorhome project and we cannot wait for the day we go out and stay in it for the first time.

[@blakes4ontour]

That is some project you've got there! Eugghh , those dead flies! Look forward to watching your progress! Ju 🙂

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Lol ... I genuinely hadn't seen all those flies until I filmed that video :-) .. Yes, it's one very big project, so far we are loving every minute. Lots more videos of the progress to follow :-)

[@joshuatucker6954]

Have the exact same thing an 87. but not rotted out, front bunk area needs new roofing over it. But both smog pumps seized up! Gonna just take em out! 😳

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Cool. Do you have a website with photographs Joshua?

[@joshuatucker6954]

@@VintageRVAdventures no

[@myboythom]

Oh boy- hope you’ve got a whole heap of time, love and money for this one💪🏼

[@VintageRVAdventures]

We have all the time in the world, and love the project enough to commit money to it 😀👍

[@ManyFunAdventures]

Ugh! Spider webs. So much wood to remove, but again, the potential of what you can do afterwards is fantastic! Going to love watching your vids.

[@VintageRVAdventures]

I way underestimated how mush rubbish we would need to remove. We look back on the videos to remind us of the work we have done so far, as working in it everyday it is easy to forget what work has gone into it 😃

[@suziemc5291]

looking forward to the makeover

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Keep watching this space Suzie, the internal stripping out has now begun :-)

[@rogerjoseph2532]

no offence but I would have thought that the RV wasn't worth rebuilding do to such intense damage but you did a great job.

[@VintageRVAdventures]

It was a close call . Probably not cost effective to do, particularly if being done to sell it, but the end result was worth it.

[@rogerjoseph2532]

@@VintageRVAdventures pls post vid of rv now

[@roaminginraymond]

That fridge freezer actually looked pretty clean lol. You'll get there guys. It's a mammoth task, and you're bound to have some real down days, and days where you slog all day, but feel like bugger alls been done, but you will get there. Look forward to watching how you've been getting on and eventually the finished item. At least with an empty shell you can do it exactly how you like.😊

[@VintageRVAdventures]

I reckon the winter will give us those down days, when its freezing cold outside and we have work we have to get done on the RV. We watch all of your videos, Stephens too, two of our favourite channels... it is videos just like yours that keep us very motivated to get the project finished and get out on the road 👍

[@roaminginraymond]

@@VintageRVAdventures aw thanks, lovely of you to say. You'll get there. I don't mind the cold, but rain and damp, ugh! Miserable and makes you feel so unmotivated. But you'll do it. We'll give you a shout out too when we do some more filming.😊

[@VintageRVAdventures]

@@roaminginraymond Awww that would be great to hear us mentioned on your channel. Thank you so much 😀

[@josephmichaudjr.9477]

Ours has a 7.5 liter, 460 motor that runs excellent, but only gets 7mpg!

[@VintageRVAdventures]

We sort of budget for £1 per mile with ours.

[@josephmichaudjr.9477]

@@VintageRVAdventures, wow! Okay. So you definitely need to save up for the gas for a long trip! I want to visit every state in the continental united states.

[@terryomahony9985]

They are a fantastic RV really cool looking I have a 1990 one that I took on as a project but it’s was not as bad as your one internally . I wish you the best of luck with it keep up updated with progress

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Thanks Terry 👍 Work is a bit slow at the moment due to Christmas, but we are getting there. We are very much looking forward to the finished project. We will keep the channel updated for sure.

[@dwarfyh32]

Blimey that is some job you are taking on. Given the amount of rot it has to be more efficient to take some dimensions then strip it right back to the bare chassis and rebuild the whole lot from scratch

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Yes, we are removing most of the wooden panels and the wooden framing and starting afresh. The Brother In Law is used to undertaking such work, albeit in domestic settings, and so of great assistance.

[@TravelsofEtheltheVan]

Just stumbled across your channel and I am really enjoying watching everything you are doing x we have a vintage van but wow you guys are smashing at bringing it back to life x wonderful buy x

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Welcome aboard! .. It is certainly not easy work, and it does consume more building materials than you think when you set out. But, every penny we have spent so far has been well worth it, and we would not change her.

[@TravelsofEtheltheVan]

@@VintageRVAdventures it is fabulous what you are doing x I am in complete awe x

[@DesmondsDonders]

This is going to be some project. Looking forward to seeing it progress.

[@VintageRVAdventures]

It consumes a lot of our time, people should not underestimate the time and materials needed for such a big project vehicle. But, we love it and cannot wait to get out and about in it next year.

[@ladyfaith9347]

When you walked on that floor, I could smell it 🤭🤦‍♀️💋

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Lol ... Trust me, you can smell it alright :-) ... It will be up and gone into a skip at some point in the coming week.

[@halfskinwalker]

Where did you find replacement windows for this?

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Sorry, we dont know, we have not bought new windows for it.

[@THEDONTTELLSHOW]

Bargain, if you've got the passion :)

[@VintageRVAdventures]

Our drive to complete this for the 2022 is high ... and we have a good family and friends support network, so let's see how this goes :-)
