I'm getting one this weekend, God allowing, I'll see what repairs I need to make. It has the sink and everything and runs which is also a plus.

[@BrianAspinall]

That’s awesome! Keep us posted!

You need the proper attire with that ‘77 Winnie. Bell bottoms and platform shoes!

[@BrianAspinall]

With goldfish in them?

Nice. I been living in my 1978 Dodge Trans-van for 15 years. I got a 1976 to fix now. Dodge has good motors. Good luck. Peace ✌️

Hey guys!! Stumbled across your channel. Your hometown looks very sweet, and I love how you're just casually walking on a lake haha. Your vintage camper looks AMAZING - love the vibe. Looks like it's going to be a fun build, what an awesome project! You have so much space to work with. Hahaha love "it needs to warm up!!" I would be so nervous driving such a huge car. Ahhh I'm so exciting for you guys!! Can`t wait to watch this being renovated. New friends and subs here - see you guys very soon!! Em and Tom

[@BrianAspinall]

Thanks for the watch, comment, sub and IG follow! Will get you back and help you get to 1000 subs!

Nice new project. I look forward to seeing your videos on the restoration.

[@BrianAspinall]

Thanks John!

Just got one of these myself, same year! Guess we have Twinzie Winnies lol

[@BrianAspinall]

Road trip! What are you doing with it??

[@gabesmith5570]

@@BrianAspinall It's my new home for now but the plan is to give it some upgrades, make sure its 100% road worthy and then... Road trip! Or follow in your footsteps and Air BNB it if a better living situation comes my way ;)

My grandfather had a friend who lived in 1 of these. Full time.

Just picked one up but can't seem to get any power on the inside when parked, it works plugged in, any ideas? Switch somewhere or possible dead battery? Thanks!

[@BrianAspinall]

Sounds like battery to me. Does yours have a voltage check above the dog house near the ceiling?

[@e604e]

@@BrianAspinallthanks! yea, engine has its own battery runs well, there are 2 more near driver seat to the rear in a compartment on outside of rv, haven't tested them but im going to assume that's my issue and what is powering the rest of the rv lights, just wondered if there was a breaker or something I haven't been able to find to switch on, batteries aren't the cheapest to replace

[@BrianAspinall]

@@e604e Our auxiliary battery is also outside in a compartment. No switch on ours. I just charge it monthly. What year is yours? Swap the engine battery as a test?

[@BrianAspinall]

Swap the engine battery just as a test?

[@e604e]

@@BrianAspinall it's a 76, great condition, will enjoy it for the summer then start some modifications, worse case just get some interior lamps for time being

[@tincancottage]

Nice that it was all pre-stripped and the roof is done. That is always the weakest spot to address.

[@BrianAspinall]

We’ve been looking for months. Seems these are the new real estate. Then voila, the universe presented this almost in our backyard. Thanks for watching and commenting! What year is yours?

[@BrianAspinall]

@@tincancottage ah yes! Of course you did! Will you document your project?

[@allisoncampbell6917]

Love it. Can you please stop referring to '77 as 'vintage'? It is really not that old. L and Z think they are youtube famous now.

[@BrianAspinall]

She needed an appraisal. I don’t make the rules.

[@gabesmith5570]

45 years old is actually just at the range for being considered vintage
