    Great tour. I just bought a 1995 B350 Coachmen build, almost identical to yours. I'm going to modify it more than the previous owner did. I'm the third owner, and it's a 5.2 L 318 ci, made in Windsor, Canada. It needs some work, and I'm going to load up the roof with solar, etc., but can't wait to get going. Thanks for the video and safe travels.

      Thank you for your comments. You will enjoy the van and get many comments on it as you go to campgrounds and other places. If you ever make a video of your van, let me know. I would like to watch it.

    I have a 1996 Great West Van conversion on a Dodge frame w/318 ci. Gets 18 mpg. It's the perfect rig for a couple and a dog. Last summer (2022) we took it across Canada and back to BC without a problem. Had so enjoyment, I'm thinking of doing it again (summer 2023) Thank you for your tour!

      We have a 1994 Dodge B350 van that was originally converted by Great West Vans. I am real happy with mid teens mileage considering the weight of these land yachts.Everything still works fine and the van rides great for it's age. We didn't go far the last couple years(obviously) but in 2022 I managed quite a few trips.

    The older Van's like that are actually better than the Van's of today. If you could integrate today's technology with the aesthetic of yesteryear, that would be cool. Today's vans just look like a big box. This rig is very nice. Thank you for the tour.👍👍👍

    What a great van. It looks like you keep it in great shape and functioning. I also like the 90's interior decor. Im not a fan of sparkly new and modern. I like the home comfort feel and for me this van has that. You have everything you need and more all packed into a van. Thats awesome.

    I had a chance to buy one of those B model vans sometime ago something that I've been wanting for a long time and I dragged my feet and lost it. Man I regret that you can't beat those type of campers! But I'll keep looking

    Very nice for for the age of the unit it’s very nice you’re blessed. And you’ll have to put money in it once in a while but what people don’t understand is you have to do that with a brand new one

  • @shawnyanceyroadtrekowner.7193
    @shawnyanceyroadtrekowner.7193 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I like how this roadtrek is set up. It's different from my 1998 roadtrek 170. But I know that this one is a bit longer than mine. But I'm into the roadtreks because they're unusual and unique.

    • @jmy02d
      @jmy02d  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Shawn, cool last name btw.....this van is a coachmen conversion, not the roadtrek, which I think the roadtrek versions are more valuable and nicer.

    Love Love your camper van, best way to live, the cost of living is sky rocket 🚀 in a house or mobile home, I got a four hundred and eleven dollar water bill, go have it turned off can't afford to pay it, go get my water supply at krogers those big water bottles, and use a potty chair with plastic bags in the bowl of it, then toss the bag in a leaf bag, then a friend go haul the trash to the dump.

      That white shade came with the van. I'd bet it is original. Not sure where to get one. I could look and see if it has a brand when I pull it back out from winter storage

    nice van I really like the small pump on your drinking water where you get it?. aren't you concerned w/ some asshole running off w/ the shore power cord like those are kindof expensive. I have a simiarl van 1st night I sleep in it I banged my head on the rear AC a few times, your cabinets look kindof shape on the edges did they leave a mark?I really liked the part of you finishing of a fly & the sweatie feet. very funny. nice video

    • @jmy02d
      @jmy02d  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your comments. The water storage I picked up on Amazon I believe. They work pretty good. Yes the edges of the cabinets can hurt you if you're not careful for sure. Enjoy the other videos I have of the van on the journeys I've taken.

    This is great! I'm a travel nurse and I have just purchased a Coachmen conversion of a Dodge Ram Van 3500B VERY similar to this. My problem is the "extremely" generic manual. Your walkaround introduced me to a couple of things that I didn't know I had. Thank you! You seem so knowledgeable and I am having a difficult time with the electrical components. Where is your breaker panel located? And the propane shut off/on for the stove?

    • @jmy02d
      @jmy02d  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The propane shut off for the whole system is underneath the van side entry doors. The stove shut off for the stove may be right underneath the burners, you can take the covers off but I can't remember if there's a shut off valve there. Best to turn off whole system. The fuse panel is underneath the bench seats in the middle of the van. You also have fuses in the glove box and under the hood. You'll get good at fixing your van if you work on it yourself and have patience. Good luck and I'm happy to help. Mine is in storage right now for the winter!
