We finally did it!!! We’ve talked about it for years but we finally bought an RV! It’s a super vintage camper van that will need a lot of work and restoring, but since traveling isn’t really happening, we figured this is the perfect time to jump into van life! We have no idea what we’re doing and it might have been a $4000 mistake, but for now we’re super excited for our upcoming adventures with this old gal 💗

Hi guys! I am the woman that grew up IN that camper. Her name is/was Nelle Belle. My grandparents were the first owners of her. Then it was passed on to my father, then me, now you! That little silicone spot, in the lower corner of the screen door, yeah sorry about that! I wasn't old enough or tall enough to reach the door handle, so that was "Little Tammy's" door handle... I just want to wish you the best of luck with her! It's taken me a while to build up the courage to check out what all you've done with her. Like I said, I spent my entire life, in that RV. (I, myself, am a 1972 model.) I've got a lifetime of memories with Ole Nelle. I haven't watched the rest of your remodel, yet. But I hope she gives your family as many years of happy memories as she did for us! Wishing you safe travels and Blessed adventures!

I’m a mechanic that just retired and the noise from the engine compartment is either the donut gaskets where the exhaust pipes hook up to the exhaust manifolds or one of your exhaust manifolds are cracked which is common on those. Also you should buy a new tire for the spare because those 16.5’s are so hard to find, you need to go to 16 inch rims and tires later on you could do the rears then later do the front and buy the rims online at a store that sells commercial rims not at a tire shop they double the price on them

Thanks for all the insight and tips! We did get a spare tire, so as long as we don't have multiple blowouts at once, we should be okay for now. 😅We're taking it in tomorrow to get the exhaust system worked on and definitely hoping between that and adding some deadening pads, we'll get her purring instead of growling 😹

HaHaHa!!! I owned the exact same rig, (years ago) with the exact same fueling problems. If you have not already discover it, there is a air/back flow/whatever you want to call it, with the fuel tank vent system. I fixed it myself and on the road to boot, not being able to fuel up with constant tries to get a few gallons. If you cannot figure it out, have a mechanic fix it for you. I know, very frustrating not knowing how much fuel you have and not being able to fill it up. It will get progressively worse if you don't fix it. Cheers!

We had to drive 4 hours to get it and when we bought it, we had new tires put on it that same day. Pretty hectic. We ended up getting home with it at 3 am completely exhausted.

Old motorhome guy here. We are now on our 7th one. You asked the question is "This a $4000 Mistake??" I would answer absolutely not. It appears to have been taken good care of. Two areas that you should always buy the best . . . tires and batteries. There are tons of "how to" videos on KZbin so watch as many of the appropriate ones as possible. I would take the metal container off the front and mount it in the rear on a "Cargo Carrier". "Happy Trails"

My late wife and I bought an older '78 Allegro for $6000, did some minor maintenance on it such as cleaning up the DIY wiring that had been installed. MY wife totally recovered all of the cushions for the smaller seats as well as the beds. We put a lot of miles on that old coach and used it as much as we could, even to taking three-day road trips on it. We finally sold it as we were in the process of moving and renovating our house and it was not getting used. Got every penny back that we had put into it years before. One thing I saw that reminded me of our coach was the exhaust problem. Ours had a GM 454 gasoline engine and the exhaust gaskets were shot when we got it. Roared like crazy until we had them replaced. After that you could hardly hear the engine. One thing we learned the hard way was to NEVER put General brand tires on a heavy RV! Two blowouts within a week on tires that looked fairly new! Had all six plus the spare taken off and replaced. A bit expensive but never had any more tire issues.

I drove my Grandpa's old 90s Chevy Silverado for 2 months last year, and it felt like that too. Gotta give it some gas and time to get moving and feels like the steering wheel has to be turned so much. 😂 I actually started liking it by the time I gave it back. 😆 Yay for new adventures! Excited to see what's ahead! 😍

Isn’t that fun with the $100s? When I sold my house 10 years ago I got a check and then went to the bank and asked to cash it. The lady asked me how much I wanted back. I said; “All of It”. She said I could only have $5K max. I’m like this says it’s a guarantee of my money. Finally 4 bank managers & 6 hours later I had my cash. $68k! I even filled the bathtub with all that $$mulah$$ Then I got REALLY SCARED 😱. Hid the money in the attic and sat up all night with the shot gun. Was fun for a minute and then it was like, CRAP! This is my whole life “savings”. Made it to the bank! 10 years later here I am, stir crazy on CoVid. Got a ‘78 Chevy Full Camper Van Conversion! Spent two weeks sleeping in it on the driveway and driving around the City. Figured out what I all need and am ready to hit the road for real now! Best Wishes! I will be keeping up with you!

I just bought the EXACT same RV model and year for $4500! Seemingly in awesome condition, all original interior, and only 4800 miles haha it never left the state of Wisconsin. Very excited to make some updates to the interior and engine plus adding solar as well but not doing any construction just paint and new floors and upholstery. Good luck!

Congrats you two. I bought a 1977 Chevy El Dorado. it had 34,000 thousand miles when I git it. It's the same size as yours. We loved it. I was so sad to let it go. We, my wife and I worked with the Ringling Brother's Circus. It was one of the most dependable rigs...In the Circus we call them RIGS.
