Will It Run?! | 1988 Winnebago Sitting For YEARS!

[@d.dolphinstriker5737]

This is a good quality camper. You have to save this one.

[@ricardojano3716]

Driving or towing something you just bought is always an adventure i know i had a 2,018 mile towing adventure but i made it , thanks to the many people that help me along the way

[@OBSmustang]

This video popped up in my recommended and had to watch it because the camper looked so familiar. I couldnt believe it sold on the auction site for only $160. Looks like its worth every penny lol. Btw at 20:51, Im the one that bought that 1986 F250.

[@wrenchesandracecars]

Thats cool, always liked them pickups.

[@jamesmichael3998]

Y'all cracked me up with the folding chairs coming with the unit, now you have a place to sit while stranded on the side of the road. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

[@wrenchesandracecars]

Really think it needs to do a road trip down to Florida this winter 😄

[@todddenio3200]

I have resurrected several old RV's and one sitting for 6 years is not that bad, especially for a quadrajet, which can set over 10 years with ease and still work fine. Most RV's didn't get fuel injection until the 90's, and if you can take the time to actually understand a carburetor, they are great. In fact I will take a carburetor over fuel injection any day. If the refrigerator has an ammonia smell, it is leaking and should be replaced or professionally rebuilt.

Hills are a Winnebago's mortal enemy.

[@bobtucker8875]

Take a camping trip with us before winter ❄️. You don't have to go far. Thanks 👍 for sharing.

[@jerrywhitlock4028]

In 2018 I bought a 1983 gmc corvair 30 ft motorhome.. ot has a 464 engine. It started & rub good. . I drivebit about 100 miles to get home. It ran & rode good. The fas gauge didn't workshop So i stopped often fir gas. . I drive it around town fir a month. The old girl worked great.

[@FullPullTv]

Not gonna lie I would love one of those over the new RVs. Looks crazy comfortable even to drive

[@bobadam7021]

Hey, that was fun. I'm going to see what else you guyd have to offer. All hail the mighty algorithm.

Descent content, but stop trying to mimic VGG.

[@motarheadfilmzz4187]

Great video I was actually there when you guys took it out when you were going down the hill, I was in the Silverado with the gooseneck me and my dad were both surprise that thing drove out of there

[@wrenchesandracecars]

That's awesome, yeah we weren't sure how it would go 😄

[@kevinsmith5318]

You guys seem to really know your shit when it comes to RVs and mechanical. Admirable!

[@xxof830]

Dam I have to say I like it nice but 👍🏾👌🏾👌🏾👏🏾 can't wait to see it up & running 🙏🏾

[@SWEET-2381]

this has to be the first channel that they talk about carburetors and they don't know what it is.. Lol i just found your channel you guys are pretty awesome!!

[@wrenchesandracecars]

😄😄 thanks!

[@richardbinell2053]

My first car came with a lucky set of horseshoes, too. '63 Chevy Nova. I think I bought it in '74 for $100. It ran fine. But needed brakes and a clutch. I was in high school. Did all that myself.

[@redneckbryon]

Definitely wasn't as bad inside as I thought it would be. Should have put some Seafoam in the gas, that would have helped with the carburetor. Run an Ozone Generator inside for a week to get rid of the smell.

[@brianbiro9094]

Had a 1978 BARTH W/ 454 RAN GOOD 2 😀👊👍✌️🦅🦼🇺🇸

[@octanegarage3729]

Good video glade you made it home. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@coco9004]

The brakes are not working well, because you need to inflate the air suspension

[@mennoboon8037]

Nice old beast😄

[@christianbattestin9747]

The CB would be the biggest selling point for me.

[@pennylee6569]

Awesome y'all got it home y'all are so funny see yah guys

[@kevinzimmerman2304]

Hey you could gut the interior and make a burnout bus. Looks like the 454 already has some big headers on it.

[@oscarwalton1188]

It really doesn't look too bad it just needs a good going through.

[@Junkerclunkerz]

Yep been there fun times iv got the same problem with buying Rigs good video keep them comen

[@MrGiovanni1968]

For me ,who live in Germany, that kind woukd be Just,a dream

[@wraithconscience]

Great RV! Great job, guys! Probably good to syphen out the old fuel with a wet vac or pump or something before setting off -- might have prevented some of the carburettor and running issues. And I know it was probably not possible at the time, but it might have helped the brakes to douse them with brake cleaner -- just to free them up, get rid of a bit of dirt and rust, etc. Mechanical problems can always be solved. The real hurdle is: What does the wife think of it? I think she'll (the wife) like the RV. And I think she'll (the RV) clean up real nice. Try to restore her back to original -- give her (the RV) that dignity. Great job, guys! Keep safe out there!

[@D1Athlete541]

No bad, but let Derrick's verbiage be Derricks. Be unique in your own way. Good Luck

[@glennsepelak5113]

agreed

[@1980bwc]

Alot of us who have watched Derek for years, have had some of the things he says become part of our vocabulary, without a conscience effort. These guys have great personalities, and are pretty darn entertaining. Isnt life hard enough sometimes as it is, without having someone we dont even know try and dictate how we should or should not talk? I dont get the negative mindset of someone who would leave a comment like you did.

[@TheCrawdadman]

We say Derricks and zip ties and bias plies one liners all the time around my parts and we think they are hilarious 🤣 To each there own.

[@davidpierce1200]

From what I’ve seen station wagons and RVs kept using carburetors long after the throttlebody came around why I have no idea

[@richardbinell2053]

Fabulous work. Congrats.

[@daveandden]

Love to see what she looks like all cleaned up?

[@BOXCAR1428]

Why are you putting starting fluid in the secondaries?

[@chrisreynolds6520]

Q-Jet secondary air valves should snap shut, not dangle open. The air/fuel mixture was leaning out with you flooring it with the secondary air door messed up.

[@1980bwc]

Got a new sub here from West Tennessee. Great video fellers.

[@Andy-x8k9m]

When I started driving my dad gave me problem cars. To Disney world at 16 when it opened. I carried a screw driver to tap the fuel injector my horn always honked wo me and I am a girl!!

[@LaughingRandomly]

If the airhorns on top work, you got your money's worth‼️😂😎

[@zoeyjohnson1985]

now you just got to get the Bruce generator running lol

[@ronchristoffel]

First time viewer. Very funny, interesting with some great laughs😂

[@wrenchesandracecars]

Thanks for watching!

[@peterungson809]

Not bad for a new KZbin channel. Love the red neck vibe & attitude!!! Keep on Rolling!!!

[@wrenchesandracecars]

Thanks for watching

[@davidpierce1200]

I hate to admit it but I live in one identical😂

[@jerrywhitlock4028]

You boys have a great atitude

[@robertdoyle8785]

A lot of times the body of the camper and the cab aren't from the same model year. Example: my 1986 Class C by rights it should have fuel injection because '86 was the first year of EFI for Ford. However, the E350 frame chassi cab it rides on is a 1985.

[@kevincarey8192]

turn all the fans off the second it dies.. save some battery....

[@Hawk0057]

This motorhome the 454 is in is a 1989 sunflyer motorhome and like I said it runs and drives excellent

[@JeffBautch]

That mesh thing is a bud net that snaps to the awning.....

come one a 6 years old engine and you not let him turn a few minutes before to engage in R or D mode!

[@toddbertrand-q9b]

Holy. It's got headers on it

[@TheBlackKnight07]

carburetor needs a rebuild and the alternator is not working my guess

[@duaneberglund9678]

my 89 has the quadrajet carb

[@SugarChateau]

Dude. Did you collect your $10 from the auctioneer?

[@wrenchesandracecars]

Yup😄

[@claytoncoolidge992]

Lol y'all wasn't charging. Hei ignition will shut down at around 10 volts.

[@pmendez9329]

She's a beaut Clark!!!

[@wpochert]

A carbureted big block is a hell of alot more likely to run after sitting than a tbi

[@willc5512]

I dont like that short wheelbase at all. That tail will swing out 20 feet😧 in a tight fast turn!

[@wrenchesandracecars]

It doesn't turn sharp enough to make a sharp turn haha but it is a pain to drive with the long tail, plan on fixing that in the next video😄

[@TheCrawdadman]

I have a 36 ft class A on the Ford f-550 chassis and damn her booty swings far 😂 One good thing my dad pointed out (previous owner) was when towing a trailer the tail swing helps keep you away from curbs and the axles follow you around the corner much better when making tighter turns towing so it does have one benefit but that's it haha. Just isn't fun when making a left or right turn at a intersection with cars in the lane next to you.

[@trabant601e]

Jesse we need to cook

[@Quiparounddreams1999]

Dude, I still live with my parents, you know what I’d pay to get something like what you all have?

[@NTromb]

Such a pity that it’s all water damage that was a beautiful motorhome Back in the day and they cost a pretty penny even still I know a lot of people who love that style of motorhome

[@jamesmoon8947]

Well done those good men

[@wrenchesandracecars]

Thanks

[@garrypritchard422]

I think your problem is the battery there is no charge

[@FrankBeingFrank]

I swear it looks like your in or near Hanover/gettysburg/littlestown/new Oxford area but then again 75% of PA looks the damn same lol If you are in pa and mess with racing and racetracks then you’re probably familiar with the area I come from because we use to have an active super busy and loud racetrack less then a hop skip and jump away but it closed is 2021 I believe it was an I guess still is referred to or called trail way speedway. The bros that owned it sold it and the new owner I believe it looks like is using the land for possibly real estate opps and maybe some extra farming space, sad to see it go like that but what yah gonna do?? Yah know

[@countrygentleman4084]

You need to buy one in Florida drive it back to PA

[@wrenchesandracecars]

That would be a great winter video haha

[@wqnl463]

You fix it up? I have one and looking for parts!

[@atleeriksen8514]

"Carbonizers" ??? 😆 "Transmotion" ??? You guys 😁

[@Jacob_is_Live]

I don't get it how the same engine would work good in a car but when in the an rv it seems they online last a few miles then problems

[@wrenchesandracecars]

It probably doesn't help that rvs weigh a ton and the engine is always getting beat on

[@NTromb]

42:45 Well three bone ups you guys didn’t run a separate fuel source mixed old gas with new gas guaranteed the tank is absolutely shwrecked

[@amandabillings2517]

I would like to know where you get your twinkle fingers from?

[@deanhundley5256]

Is the fan belts on or loose?

[@mikemeyers4016]

Stuck on stupid😅, 250000 service truck but won’t service anything, I don’t get it.

[@FrankBeingFrank]

Did I see PA tags and an old PA inspection ticket on that thing ?? Damn if so I live on pa and am damn near Homeless and without a vehicle so I would have possibly jumped all over this and killed two birds with one stone lol Where do you find auctions like this in PA I’ve been searching for a cheap or even free car but only find stuff from places way to far away for me to possibly get but if found something in or near pa it could really work out for me

[@77nizzova53]

Could not be spraying starting fluid while driving????

[@nilavonfrost]

I hope you guys named this winnie Kenny

[@paultheprofit]

Wow that thing is loooong 😂

[@wrenchesandracecars]

Very😄

[@SwordofLight]

Always, buy a used vehicle and drive it cross country to find its faults. Preferably, it breaks on some back road, 3 a.m. middle of nowhere...then you get to rest on a ripped seat, in a car that doesn't lock and is about out of gas.

[@snoopysrc]

You gained a new sub

Thanks for subbing
