Agreed ! 👍 Strip it, remodel to newer or more modern specs... and do it right. At least you'll know it inside out, and know you have a good, solid setup 😊 Edited.... simple is sometimes better, and more dependable 👍
Best suggestion I saw was cut the whole dang camper part off the frame and order a custom travel trailer camper to fit the truck frame then later attach the new camper to it, in the meantime while the camper is being built you could move the fuel tanks and do all the maintenance and upgrades to the tractor you want or need to do. Maybe even extend the frame a few feet for a little more camper ; )
Ha! I totally did the same thing. I bought a garbage class c with a Chevy 454 dually chassis, low miles, and tore off the camper, and mounted my Arctic Fox cabover on it. Looks slightly custom, but not bad at all. Plus made a really nice 18’ cabover with a low miles chassis.
Think about elevating the bed on a platform in the back and using the space underneath as an office, TV lounge, storage, etc. So much wasted space by having the bed on floor level.
With nothing but love, Bruce, this is an intervention. You have a problem buying things before finishing the prior project. Please finish the scania before starting this, super pumped on the scania. We love you Bruce, but finish a project
That 15 spd is ..in my opinion..the best trans ever…Heres the deal…drive it like a 10 spd..leave the blue button alone. If you are heavy and need more low…..you..button 12345….usually Id start in 3rd .then 45 The trick is that whatever gear you come out of you go back into the low side of the 10 spd. eg.. come out of 4 goes int 2. Those 15s are very versatile. Hope that helps
You mean stiping everything out and then going to lowes and hom depot and patching in stuff that needs to be made in a cabnit shop, is not a smart idea.
We need more of Ryan. I have watched so many videos and i can't recall seeing Ryan that much... just him filming with you.. So, probably not vacation ready unless you had some serious man power to get it half way ready lol.
It never cease to amaze me that he doesn't think before he acts and destroys perfectly good furniture. He could've stood it up on end and carried it out the door and donated it to the salvation army or another organization. He spends more money etc than he makes. He's not frugal at all. He has no concept of the value of a dollar. Eliminating all the storage, ruined the refrigerator, and the calamity matches on. He's making more work for himself than it needs to be (SMH) he didnt even ask Amber how and what she wanted removed. He just threw that perfectly good refrigerator out the backdoor 2 seconds AFTER the said they are $100 now. DUHHHH!!! I BET he doesn't have it ready for his trip. He will have to only work on that day and night to get it ready. Ripping wires he doesn't even know what they go to.
Just because he didn’t ask amber on the video, doesn’t mean they didn’t discuss what she wanted. Being that amber is a woman, I guarantee she wants it all gutted and replaced like new. I think the comment about the fridge was it’s a cheap ass refrigerator that he’s not really concerned about. It’s his shit, if you don’t like it don’t watch!
Hey man you should send it out to caravan place a get it refurbished in side including pop out kitchen and. Lounge a A C installed it would still be old skool on the outside and new on the inside
I would save the overhead cabinets. They would save you time on making something new and they already look well built. Once you repaint them they would look better
He thought the Thor RV was a crappy this thing is even more of a rolling turd. This thing will never get finished. Bruce will sell it soon, like he does with everything on this channel. I used to enjoy actually watching him build stuff from start to finish.
Since you're going to be working on the RV you should look into buying a truck lift jack set, that way you can walk under your RV instead of crawling under it, plus you can use them on the semi trucks as well...
Fill up your new fuel filters with ATF, that will clean your injectors and it should not smoke nearly as much. A little trick I learned working for a truck repair shot when I was in high school. If I remember correctly, you will see a lot of white smoke until it uses up the ATF in the filter.
Did you ever do anymore videos on the RV rebuild. You gave us some then no more. It's like watching a good show then they cancel it and you never get to see how it ends. Don't leave us hanging.
Definitely Gut the inside and look for a REPUTABLE Firm to see if they can assist you in a design, modernise her ( Amber will thank you for it) then LED the crap out of it!! I knew you were gonna getva different bumper & Alloy wheels lol 😆 😂
Odin is a really good platform to start on, I hope you didn’t break the bank on it like it was some turnkey rig. I think taking it back down to a shell, making everything is structurally sound, then re-sealing it all is the best plan of action. And build from scratch after obviously. He here to watch either way 🤙
Might be a bright idea to go down to a RV parts supply to see what’s available, so you can build around available products and options, instead of building to find out nothing fits, everything is custom order, or you have to tear it all back apart to fit what’s available, or to build in something you see there…buy everything with wash ability in mind..
It was definitely out in the open for a very long time. If you go back to the previous video it’s under a canopy but you can see that the things around it were thrown to the side to make space
Water is always going to condense in the headliner of the RV, use electric heaters not gas that will help alot. And use automotive wool for liners. Because its a RV the basics walls with Aluminum studwalls and proper insulation its gonna cost abou 6K just to do the walls and ceiling right or you can do it with wood and it will just get moldy agin.
Could really do with getting your hands on a crashed modern RV/Caravan for a donor!!! External has a great classic look, but for a young family the internal screams a modern re-fit which you might get out of a wrecked modern RV/Caravan. Could save a ton of time and green in a re-fit!
You DEFINITELY want to get rid of any CPVC plumbing pipe in there. I'm getting ready to change all my plumbing in my 23 yr. old RV and I'm going with the PEX piping.
Hey Bruce, beautiful unit you asked for our opinion I would replace everything and make the wife happy. If you don’t have to look at it every day why did I’m not replace the panel it’s so out of date if I owned it, I would strip everything down and replace everything that’s my opinion whatever the wife says, gotta keep her happy
I’m thinking the “wife” got Bruce in trouble with that first disaster, sure shinny new things with led lights looks nice but they don’t build them like they used to! Stick with old school bones and just strip it out and build it back better and right!!! Measure twice cut once.
Converting that wet bath to a dry bath will be a major undertaking & probably will never be finished & a great number of campers have the water tank under the bed
So I found the best way to refreshing. The walls was had wallpaper on my RV. I used to gripping primer mixed in sand play box grade. Brushed it on and then paint it over the top of it. And the reason for the sand gives it a texture luck. But I did remove the wallpaper, which got it down to Bearwood.
Bruce, I would gut it and fill it with about 3 inches of spray in insulation foam. This will seal everything from a possible CO2 from the generator gases. And be much better in the summer and winter weather. I would use hard wood flooring throughout the entire inside.. Then, put new windows double insulated windows.Make a big difference from the start. I would measure the whole inside and drawl how you wanted it to all lay out like refrigerator, stove .Need to find out what's available and what you want size Flat screens wire it for sound. You need it wired before spraying foam inside.I think I would completely do away with that back door .
Thats a nice old rig. I look forward to watching you get that refurb done as I prefere build type videos than any other type oh & I really like Ambers Tat's . .
I would have suspected that from all the water damage and water stains when you bought it. First thing that popped in my head was MOLD!!!! Maybe the wife was the smarter one on this idea lol!!!!!!!!
Strip it to bones and make sure there’s no leaks or critters. Then you can update to newer and more reliable technology, and it’ll sure as heck look better.
Bruce that 15 speed, once you get use to it you won't want nothing else that 425 sounds so frik'n sweet man o'h my Lord!!!!!!!!! you know i did hear that CAT and international are working together a bit, but i was told that the new International motor that is out in there trucks, you no the CAT truck's that motor is a 425 with gray paint and it passed admissions just fine !!!! now aint that something !!!!! i would ask you if you have heard that but u will not see this i'm thinking !!!!! just say'n !!!!
Hey Bruce you need to put a pit in the shop where you could pull the camper etc and make it easy to work on instead of crawling around under them all just a thought then if and when you leave the shop just fill it back full of dirt and concrete I had one back in the day just saying? ?
![โรงเรียนห้ามรัก โดนจับได้ตาย...!! [เอิร์นไดเม่]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4u02Sbr556Q/mqdefault.jpg)
Strip the inside down and start over. I think it has potential to be amazing.
Agreed ! 👍
Strip it, remodel to newer or more modern specs... and do it right.
At least you'll know it inside out, and know you have a good, solid setup 😊
Edited.... simple is sometimes better, and more dependable 👍
Absolutely agree! Sick rig amazing starting point!
Concrobium is your friend for black mold.
pretty sure he’s just gona leave it the way it is and not take anything out

Gut the thing and start from scratch. Then it's truly yours exactly the way you want it.

A “Captain’s Bed” (a bed that has drawers for storage built into the bed platform is an excellent war to get added storage space
With nothing but love, Bruce, this is an intervention. You have a problem buying things before finishing the prior project. Please finish the scania before starting this, super pumped on the scania. We love you Bruce, but finish a project
Scania takes forever to get parts for so gotta have other content
@@Bruce_Wilson what about the pull (sled) truck?
The mold says, "Take it all down and start fresh." It will make it easier to redo the plumbing and electrical work that you need to do.
That 15 spd is ..in my opinion..the best trans ever…Heres the deal…drive it like a 10 spd..leave the blue button alone. If you are heavy and need more low…..you..button 12345….usually Id start in 3rd .then 45

I drive heavy haul and have a 13 speed. When I’m empty or loaded light I use 13 like an OD.
Take that toterhome to 1492 coachworks and have them completely redo the whole unit, with slide outs.
have it done professionally and it will be done right

a them places will refurbish it my friend had his one up graded a they done a awsome job on it
I would save the overhead cabinets. They would save you time on making something new and they already look well built. Once you repaint them they would look better
Completely gut it and make it yours. completely redo it that way you also know that you’ve sealed all leaks you can possibly find
This camper could be awesome! Can't wait to see what you do to it.
I know you needed something now but I think it would be sweet to have a series of you building your own EXACTLY the way you and your family wants it!
I also think the rebuild is going to be sweet so🤷🏼♂️
He thought the Thor RV was a crappy this thing is even more of a rolling turd.
This thing will never get finished. Bruce will sell it soon, like he does with everything on this channel. I used to enjoy actually watching him build stuff from start to finish.
Dope taken hold of the boy, he's circling the drain.
What happened to this built/renovation? Cause I didn’t find any more videos about this RV… Sadly!
Welcome to Bruce's demo and no finish projects. Hot line you may see more on them you may not lol
Since you're going to be working on the RV you should look into buying a truck lift jack set, that way you can walk under your RV instead of crawling under it, plus you can use them on the semi trucks as well...
This is a gem, fully gut it and start over and then revamp it to your taste and it will be awesome again and have character!!

You ever seen that movie ‘Money Pit’ with Tom Hanks? 😂 This episode reminds me of that movie… ‘2 weeks’ 😂

I mean he did say it leaked so I’d only assume there would be damage and mold. It would look rad just needs love

Great job Bruce of getting that lady
I once built a house. I once rebuilt a house. You sure bought yourself a project on three axles. Amber is a saint.
Man why you gotta do us dirty like that 😂42:32

More vídeos about this RV please!!!!
Strip everything down and start over, everything can be replace and all brand new you can add a solar system in the truck too
Great straight, complete makeover
It was definitely out in the open for a very long time. If you go back to the previous video it’s under a canopy but you can see that the things around it were thrown to the side to make space
Keep those pieces of wood you removed from the cabover as templates for new wood inserts.
That’s a good idea!!!
Problems? All you had to do is stand the couch on end and pulling the bottom from underneath to go out. Maybe remove the handrail
Your a problem solver! ⭐️
I think the real problem is that it was too heavy for him to lift out whole 😂
take this puppy to a coachbuilder and have them refit the whole inside to modern specs.
Glass watermelon lights with LED bulbs down the sides, the pattern they make will look awesome on the large flat white sides of the RV.
I love this motorhome!
Water is always going to condense in the headliner of the RV, use electric heaters not gas that will help alot. And use automotive wool for liners.
Because its a RV the basics walls with Aluminum studwalls and proper insulation its gonna cost abou 6K just to do the walls and ceiling right or you can do it with wood and it will just get moldy agin.
Dude, why have you not made any more videos of the renovation? It was getting very interesting and Then nothing 10 months ago.
I wondered the same thing . All so his girlfriend stopped making cameo's . Odd and off putting
That sofa bed definitely should have been kept!
Crazy you moved your shop right down the road from my job.
I work security here & will keep an eye on your shop Bruce.
Dang, small world
@@chase5896 For real! Hopefully one day I can stop by and say what’s up.
It’s cool as hell to see Brutus in real life. Beautiful truck.
Thanks!
Strip the interior and start over from fresh. The wife will be happy. Happy wife happy life🎉🎉
Could really do with getting your hands on a crashed modern RV/Caravan for a donor!!! External has a great classic look, but for a young family the internal screams a modern re-fit which you might get out of a wrecked modern RV/Caravan. Could save a ton of time and green in a re-fit!

For horns, I’d put in some train horns. A set of K5LA horns would be awesome.
start over. Perfect thing for videos and can do a build series. I see lots of value in starting over for youtube
Omg, what a wonderful big boy toy
Rip the hole back half off and weld a travel trailer right on the back with an awp for power
Call it blue thunder, love your channel, from a lyme and retired European 🚛🚛🚛, trucker
Converting that wet bath to a dry bath will be a major undertaking & probably will never be finished & a great number of campers have the water tank under the bed
This would be the perfect project for someone who can finish projects

Yeah it was smoking like it needs a oil change, but as long as it's fixable once you do an overhaul it looks like you got a good deal.
I will be very surprised if this gets finished and gets done right.... hopefully he proves me wrong but his track record says different.....
Pinned pupils and very itchy can you say perks or Vicodin 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wondered what was making him act like he does. I think you're onto something. Might explain how he's made so much since his stint in prison
And the "allergies" bwahahaha...@@SRT3921
Make it modern on the inside and old school cool on the outside !!!

Hi Bruce what a fantastic video love the content. I think you should strip it out and do full renovation
Nice rig just need some TLC to be a happy truck
Thats a nice old rig. I look forward to watching you get that refurb done as I prefere build type videos than any other type oh & I really like Ambers Tat's . .
Best motorhome I have ever seen!
That old truck is definitely showing age but I wouldn’t mind a remodel video 😂
Hey is there a video of the project after?
I would keep the overhead cabinets maybe change the doors on them
Definitely strip the whole thing amd redo it. The wood paneling makes it looks straight from the 70s. Got to make it look more modern
I say paint all the wood walls gray and put some wood flooring in and re do the cabinets and call it a day
That tool box on the passenger side is an old battery box with a modified front cover
Totally renovate it to your liking.
Start over!!! Strip it clean!!!
I was watching a German utuber travelling around USA in a Scania, and there’s loads of them in NY
I would have suspected that from all the water damage and water stains when you bought it. First thing that popped in my head was MOLD!!!! Maybe the wife was the smarter one on this idea lol!!!!!!!!
This is the kind of things I was thinking about when I wished you good luck on the last vid.
gut it and make it your own
Strip it to bones and make sure there’s no leaks or critters. Then you can update to newer and more reliable technology, and it’ll sure as heck look better.
She’s a beauty Bruce 👌🏻

Strip it brother's, you already know, save some of it though,💪😎💯
Well that's cool hearing you say Odin. I suggested that on Instagram.
Paint and patch
Totally gut it and start afresh, make it a Amber paradise.
After watching this one I would be tempted to name the unit "Wore Out !
Hey Bruce, ditch this old bucket and go to IWS in Idaho and order a brand new renegade!
Hey Bruce you need to put a pit in the shop where you could pull the camper etc and make it easy to work on instead of crawling around under them all just a thought then if and when you leave the shop just fill it back full of dirt and concrete I had one back in the day just saying? ?
We want will it start!💯
Great videos, I've been watching for 4 years since the Case 1896 Will it start
Don't destroy it all just make it look good and work good for you
Are you still working on this or have you sold it?
We need a update on this sir
Bro there's noway your gonna get that thing done in two weeks so it's ready for your trip..Goid luck though I will be watching..😅😅😅
hi, like to watch the vids, but do you finish any of the trucks? or maybe have follow up vids etc?
You've gone this far, you should probably keep going now, gut it back to the shell and build it back up to what you and the family need.
I think it should be a total rip out and totally replaced and updated many thanks Vinnie
I would see those pieces as patterns for the new marine plywood looka like they fit pretty good
Can we see something finished ?
White Pete should be called jack wagon express rv 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
