Apocalypse no thanks, it took 3 weeks and $700 in a major city to get a pulled ABS pump for my 05 Ford E250 van which is common with plenty still on the road all due to the current economic delays. So imagine how much and how long it would have been if it were a '78 Whatever if it was possible at all.

Don't know if you are my old friend Len Compton did the same thing we were all into the dirt bikes when we were younger. I only got out of it because of age. Len still transports even now taught his son to drive that way. Just a week or so ago his son brought a customers barn find 84 F-150 to us all the way from Tennessee. I remember the beginning days our old ladies had the campers all decked out they would make us go down the lake and wash off all the mud before we even allowed near the campers. Those were certainly the days. The summers we ran Modifieds and in the fall and winters dirt bikes. Same breed I guess.

Love these old start videos especially when it’s something as cool as this! I haven’t seen a Minnie Winnie in a very long time. I would venture to say the MinnWinn. is probably a pretty rare bird! By the looks of it you got a solid one. As long as the frame is solid on them you can easily remodel them! All there is to them is a wood frame some insulation and whatever paneling you like. I remodeled one several years back and I’ll tell you how to remodel it for almost free as far as the wood and paneling goes! Find an single wide trailer someones giving away and bam💥 all the wood and paneling, electrical outlets, wire if it needs rewired probably will. I got lucky and the trailer I found had good carpet in it the lady that owned it was super clean so it was super clean I used the over the range microwave out of it and also a couple windows and believe it or not a window air conditioner unit was also in it! So you see what I’m saying find someone giving away a trailer home and work out a deal where you can go take it apart and get it because that’s why their free because people want them moved unless you find one local and have a tractor big enough to move it to your house. That would be even better

Also, the "kickdown" is that, but it's actual name is the "throttle rod", because that's what controls the shift timing.

My wife and I had the same camper, with a longer wheelbase. Bought it from our mechanic who's wife would not ride in it! The 360 was great, no problems in the 20K we drove it. But, and it is a big but......the Dodge truck wiring was terrible. Pretty much the same kind of jury rigging everywhere in the chassis. All of the wiring through the camper had shorted and had been spliced multiple times. The wooden camper frame was rotted, and I had to rebuild about 1/3 of the studs and joists, in particular around the door and roof. I towed a light boat with it successfully until climbing a 20 degree hill in our campground while towing a boat from a dead stop while checking in, and did something not good to the transmission, which was a really big transmission. I was told a rebuild was about $5000, so I sold it to someone for a hunting camp. When it worked, it worked good! But if I had replaced everything that needed to be fixed (including the air conditioning) I would have gone broke. Good luck, but you will ALWAYS be fixing something on the truck or camper side. These were not built for longevity, but it sure was fun!

From Ramchargers, powerwagons, ram 2500 etc....They are great engines and were so tragically overlooked, complete workhorses that will run forever... on the ECM and Voltage regulator... I cannot stress this enough ONLY buy genuine Mopar.... On my 1977 ramcharger my original voltage regulator went out, replaced it with $15.00 aftermarket autopart store one... I got about 6 to 7 months out of it... Then I went and stepped up to $80.00 ECHLIN Napa part and only got about 2 years... I replaced with original Mopar part about $150. and 8yrs later still running perfect... The original Mopar voltage regulator and ECM lasted about 35yrs in my 1977 ramcharger.... If you have the AMP meter in the dash take it out and get rid of it, most dash fires in old Mopar's come from this gauge. Dodge was silly running all those alternator amps through the firewall and into the plastic gauge cluster to read the running amps... I always replace with voltage meter and I can tell if the alternator is working that way... If I need to know amps I do it with meter clamped safely on the alternator...

@@Sleeperdude If after you fix it up, you're going to be astounded how much you can ask for it. Depending on the level of restoration, somewhere between six and ten grand. Small, easy to park and spacious fully self contained rvz are hard to find. I had mine for over ten years. Sold it about three years ago because I moved overseas. Got TRIPLE what I paid and kept it completely stock.

Did you try starting it with the key switch again? Since it was in reverse the neutral safety switch might have kept it from cranking.

Always change your tires, steer especially. Former full time vintage RV owner. 76 Dodge RV, I believe newer Dodge dually wheels will bolt up, have to be coined, this will modernize the tire size. Cheers

I came across your other RV, the $1250 video series, and omg your sarcastic humor is spot on! I have not laughed so hard in my life, I was Raphie's age when my folks would rent Class A motorhomes and would do several cross country trips. The black water tank experience, electrical hookups, water was my job...oh my gosh there have been times when things just did not go right with the sewer hose...lmao! Watching this series, and just subscribed...

Nice! I was surprised it started at all and all the hoses weren't rotten or chewed by pests. Gut the camper and remodel with nice clean stuff so it's healthy for your family, add solar panels, batteries and a 12v compressor fridge and you have yourself an awesome road trip machine! I'd swap the carb for a 4 barrels but I'm sure it already drinks enough gas as is :)
