Obtained and restored an 85 Fleetwood Omega Prowler. My first RV project! Success. Lived in it for 2 years, then turned it over to my brother, because I was moving out of state. Great project, great times!
Thank you👍 I came across your channel a few days ago. You guys have a great personality and feel to your channel. Looking forward to more content from you guys. My sons and I are just getting started into the whole TH-cam thing and we are loving it 😁 just got back last night from a 1,200 mile will it run trip.
LOL.....like were you pulled up?AT A GRAVEYARD.....are you gonna get it all sorted now as it will be worth it in the end and you and you deserve it after all the worry you had getting it from A TO B...took alot of guts what you did on the open road,anyway glad you got home in one peice..MAGIC💫
Dude.. yesterday i bought a 1985 Holiday Rambler. Drove it home 10 miles, experience was terrifying. Dry rot tires, leaking radiator fluid, power steering fluid . And it wasnt going oast 25 mph.. so big thumbs up on your 2 hour journey. How is the project coming along?
When you wanted water I noticed you were next to a cemetary, here in the UK there is always outside water points where people putting flowers on graves can have free use of, is it not the same in the USA.
Good video guys I actually got a motorhome a little bit smaller than that and a lot older I didn't start my TH-cam yet otherwise it would have been on video not much different than yours lol
That thing looks amazing slammed on its ass like that has anyone ever done a bagged long rv like this one? I’ve seen the small wheel base winnebago but I’ve never seen any others.
Well, I expect a full concurse grade restoration.... Seriously, you got your work cut out for you with this if you want it to be truly nice. The boat projects are kiddy grade level in comparison to the work this is going to take in that case. Good luck!
yep they do windy day or stuff inside yep like being on boat then land feeling like motion still but thier great hydrolics lift for storage can get manuel tranfer case and is awd bus anyway air bags make great but overload springs front lift they do good in beach with rain or sand helps but lot time better wait till dry or cold frozen sure beats tents and repacking real like mobil garage stuff not to stay in gas and fumes fuel storage but yep good shower got resort haveing you gear close yep
I'd want paying to take that away. The lad who went to work instead that day is the one who had his head screwed on right! Should have gone with him. But that doesn't put vids on utube....
"We're morons!" It's definitely not "free". You will pay dearly to find a state to move to that will register and that junk RV, plus charge you the fair-market value use tax at the DMV. I estimate you will junk it after you realize it's going to cost you $25k to make it saleble or useable for self-contained mobile life.
👍 we live in Pa, registration isn’t a problem as long as we have a title. No fair use tax either. As far as all the work it’s gunna take to get it road worthy? We’ve been working at it. It’s gunna be far from perfect but we are fine with that.
Well at least I could say you got a good motor there but you guys never check the oil or you check the water or you check the transmission fluid knowing you guys are having problems you guys are not very smart
😂 we did check the oil and transmission fluid. Just didn’t film it. But I agree driving this thing home wasn’t very smart. But that never stopped us before 😁
Okay they're just trying to have fog light on that those other poor lights are fog lights guys ain't very smart tonight headlights you ding dongs you guys are not very smart at all
I completely disagree with this statement. The motorhome needs a ton of work, but I’d do it all again because I got to spend the day with my son. That makes it all worth it to me. We had the best day together 👍
skills set and pair balls take your head out your ass by getting rested up good gear first step moved many many pipe and chains ya blue ox or cheap vehor is cheaper the harbor friget better pins good bolts some long some short washers or steel sqare any way bumper horner dip the tip drill braket 30 on amazon or make some want extra exent the hitch cheap sqare each plass class 3 class 5 ball get 3/4 short or long get 2 in thick balls almost 3 inch 15k rated pull just about any thing dot 53 ft 8-10 with out permit bus rv boat i do follow car lights tow lights want extra battery wires and tape easy safe cheap effective run many on gas jugs cheap tubeing for fuel line back up pumps warrenty pumps local 90s had efi inline 50-65psi so ford van efi inline pump warrenty lifetime or limited tires lots cheap online get spares good jacks be prepered
i think you should of at least got some good used tires before putting it on the road.....blowing a tire could have swirved it into another lane causing injury or death to someone....but thankfully you guys got it home.....
Well at least you boys will have an idea how fast the motorhome might go it might go slow is the line you win you’re in the line you’re in it might only go back past all the way home other words if you’re lucky
Well that’s what the rat hole looks like in an RV quit it but I don’t know whether it’s to let the rats and hard to let the rats out I don’t know if that hole is there to let the rats in or to let the rats out you’ll find out that later
What the hell did the guy run over Bigfoot looks like he don’t only have a flat tire he has a flat rim ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha maybe you boys better just drive it down the road a little bit take some parts off of it before you hit the asphalt and try to leave it to the side of the road so they can still get out of their driveway good luck you’re gonna need it I can see that now I don’t know if the guy ran into big foot with that back Dooley rim
He should never have his head right behind the pipe when he’s hydraulic and jack when is Jack in the hydraulic jack up if the jack ever comes out of there with the handle in the hole where you jack it up in his face is right behind it I knew a friend of mine Majak handle hit him right in the eye when the jack kicked out you never know if earthquake or whatever were used to jack mobile homes around and he was on a job one time by his self in the Jack and I’ll come out and hit him in the eye when the jack popped out to move your head bread so move your head Fred Fred so you don’t get dad when you’re not jacking up the hydraulic jack pull the damn pipe out of the holder good luck Jack
Very interesting 🤔 Content guys 😁. Thanks 👍 for sharing.
Thanks for watching 👍
Obtained and restored an 85 Fleetwood Omega Prowler. My first RV project! Success. Lived in it for 2 years, then turned it over to my brother, because I was moving out of state. Great project, great times!
At least you got home safe and sound. You have a 454 power train to play with.
👍
Enjoyed the video, you did well getting it home.
Thanks 👍
Nice motorhome, I like it
👍👍
I still cannot believe you got that thing home
I was worried for a bit 😂
Hopefully will see you restoration work in more videos best of luck from the UK 😊
My son is fixing it up. I’ll do an update video when it’s done.
Your dad looks like the actor from 1 ADAM 12 Martin Milner who played officer Pete Malloy . Love the video thank you
Gawd, you're right! 1 Adam 12...lol..
"PULL OVER!!"
"You want it?"
"Yes, I want it!"
"Take it.. feeling like the luckiest person in the world!!!"
😂 yes sir👍
Thanks for the sub. That's a pretty sweet motor home you got there.
Thank you👍 I came across your channel a few days ago. You guys have a great personality and feel to your channel. Looking forward to more content from you guys. My sons and I are just getting started into the whole TH-cam thing and we are loving it 😁 just got back last night from a 1,200 mile will it run trip.
Appreciate the compliment I wish you the best of luck on this wonderful place we call TH-cam.@@RuggedWrench
You earned a new sub, that was a lot of work.
It was 👍 we had a blast though 😁
Look... no matter how fast it goes, my motto is "would you rather walk?"
😂 it was pretty scary
Old video, I know, but a bit of a tip to get you home on old tires. Add some oil inside the tires, will help it hold air.
I was surprised to see rear wheel disk brakes on this year of motor home. Must have been a pretty nice unit back in the day.
Yes, I’m sure it was 👍
“What could possibly go wrong?”
Words of a guy whose “free” motor home is now the frame for the Elvis jet he bought! (Jimmy’s World) 😁
😂👍
Goodness knows I've done that kind of startup with the 454. She's a good engine and will do what's needed and is tolerant of a lot of amateur crap....
Hello ruged wrench l really like Your channel keep your videos coming
LOL.....like were you pulled up?AT A GRAVEYARD.....are you gonna get it all sorted now as it will be worth it in the end and you and you deserve it after all the worry you had getting it from A TO B...took alot of guts what you did on the open road,anyway glad you got home in one peice..MAGIC💫
👍 my son is fixing it up. Getting it ready for a cross country trip next summer.
Shocked those tires held
Same!
The rear tires are insane 😂 at least you got a nice 454 and drivetrain. Would be cool to put a roll up door on the back and make it a hauler
I like that idea 👍
As an air bnb, this old RV would be better suited and advertised as a sh*t-away rather than a git-away lol...
😂 very true
your dad so cool
😂👍
Dude.. yesterday i bought a 1985 Holiday Rambler. Drove it home 10 miles, experience was terrifying. Dry rot tires, leaking radiator fluid, power steering fluid . And it wasnt going oast 25 mph.. so big thumbs up on your 2 hour journey. How is the project coming along?
Did yall just chance it and use the old gas? I don't think I saw you hook up a separate tank..
We chanced it 😂 we were only 2 miles from the gas station 🤷♂️
@@RuggedWrench awesome...y'all are wild lol
If you loosen the radiator cap it will not build pressure so it won;t leak and it will stay cool
That’s good advice 👍
33:00 what is that plier set called... Leatherman?
Yes it’s the leatherman OHT
@@RuggedWrench like the way the pliers just popped out when he fixed the door.
3 rd spark on pass side was off plug misfiring?. Good luck
Now that you got that once fine motor home home, what are you going to do with it?
My son Arthur is currently fixing it up. He is planning to take his wife and daughters traveling 👍
When you wanted water I noticed you were next to a cemetary, here in the UK there is always outside water points where people putting flowers on graves can have free use of, is it not the same in the USA.
We did check around for a water spigot. But didn’t see any. It was a private church cemetery though 🤷♂️
I would like to know just where do these people get these free motorhomes I've never seen any have you?
Facebook marketplace. In our area of Pa we see them all the time.
Good video guys I actually got a motorhome a little bit smaller than that and a lot older I didn't start my TH-cam yet otherwise it would have been on video not much different than yours lol
That’s great 👍
That thing looks amazing slammed on its ass like that has anyone ever done a bagged long rv like this one? I’ve seen the small wheel base winnebago but I’ve never seen any others.
Get 10 gallons of fresh gas dump some in the carb check fluids
It actually ran on the gas that was in the tank. Not well, but enough to get us to the gas station 😁
Well, I expect a full concurse grade restoration....
Seriously, you got your work cut out for you with this if you want it to be truly nice. The boat projects are kiddy grade level in comparison to the work this is going to take in that case. Good luck!
I agree, this project is Arthur’s baby. Ben and are slowly working at the Bayliner.
Another pr of morons
Now I must ask, did you even check for a spare tire in the back??
We took the previous owner at his word. We didn’t have the keys to open it. We got it open a few days later and there is a good spare. 😂🤷♂️
Yo that’s the Rutter’s on 222 in pa haha
😂 yes it is👍
He he. Good job.
How the hell that back tyre held out I do not know. Good luck with the rest of it guy's.
😂 I was holding my breath on that the whole time
Доброго времени суток. Республика Карелия. Друзья если вы будете продолжать проект дома на колесах то я подпишусь.
👍
@@RuggedWrench Доброго времени суток. Республика Карелия. Ок. Я подписался на ваш канал. Буду ждать продолжения проекта.
Its ok to replace a fuse with a fusible link😂
Y'all never checked any fluids before attempting to fire it up. WHY??? Y'ALL ARE SOME KINDA SPECIAL, I'LL SAY
Yikes with the tire condition and busted rims. Looks like it ran a roadblock to get home.
yep they do windy day or stuff inside yep like being on boat then land feeling like motion still but thier great hydrolics lift for storage can get manuel tranfer case and is awd bus anyway air bags make great but overload springs front lift they do good in beach with rain or sand helps but lot time better wait till dry or cold frozen sure beats tents and repacking real like mobil garage stuff not to stay in gas and fumes fuel storage but yep good shower got resort haveing you gear close yep
vgg vibes love it
👍 I love Vice Grip Garage
At least Derek would have put tyres on onit. Lol.
LOL I wouldn’t take this if someone gave me 500 bucks to take it but good luck!
😂 I get that. But my son is enjoying fixing it all up👍 and I got to spend the day with him. I’d do it again just for that👍
Hey it Daryl n his son Daryl jr nDaryl the 3rd had to work
🤷♂️
I'd want paying to take that away. The lad who went to work instead that day is the one who had his head screwed on right! Should have gone with him. But that doesn't put vids on utube....
😂 I had the same thought when I saw it. But I had a great day with my son. That means the world to me 👍 I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.
are you going to check the coolant
We did, just didn’t film it. We added about half a gallon.
Are you gonna pull a roadkill yank out the 454 through the passenger side drop it in a ratty camaro then take it out to the desert and hoon it
That sounds like a great idea 👍
hahaha! You brought a tiny crappy jack to raise a motorhome stuck on a garden?
😂👍👌
Maaannnnn that thing DEFINITELY isn't worth fixing up...and it would cost more to tow it to a scrap yard than it's worth in scrap
The good news is we can drive it to the scrap yard if we end up doing that 😁
@@RuggedWrench ok that might save you some money..lol
Hey people do not complains is freeeeeeee Hellow
👍😁
It's scrap looks like a old basement
🤷♂️ we shall see what my son makes of it. He has been working at it.
Call it eagle 5
😂👍
"We're morons!"
It's definitely not "free". You will pay dearly to find a state to move to that will register and that junk RV, plus charge you the fair-market value use tax at the DMV.
I estimate you will junk it after you realize it's going to cost you $25k to make it saleble or useable for self-contained mobile life.
👍 we live in Pa, registration isn’t a problem as long as we have a title. No fair use tax either. As far as all the work it’s gunna take to get it road worthy? We’ve been working at it. It’s gunna be far from perfect but we are fine with that.
Better just grab engine
👍
Well at least I could say you got a good motor there but you guys never check the oil or you check the water or you check the transmission fluid knowing you guys are having problems you guys are not very smart
😂 we did check the oil and transmission fluid. Just didn’t film it. But I agree driving this thing home wasn’t very smart. But that never stopped us before 😁
@@RuggedWrenchit might not have been smart but it sure was entertaining 😂😂
Okay they're just trying to have fog light on that those other poor lights are fog lights guys ain't very smart tonight headlights you ding dongs you guys are not very smart at all
😂
@joeclark9042 And so it lights on that the other day we don't know what you don't have to do to get the money off plate
They should pay you to remove 😮
This proves some people should not be parents
I completely disagree with this statement. The motorhome needs a ton of work, but I’d do it all again because I got to spend the day with my son. That makes it all worth it to me. We had the best day together 👍
you did not walk a way. crap
😂🤷♂️ Arthur is fixing it up.

You got fuel or do you have lacquer??
you guys are cool towatch however all those things like lights and stuff should have already been addressed ....lol but hey still fun
👍 I was fun. We were only a 2 hour drive from home. And we left for home around noon. We never expected to be driving in the dark. 🤷♂️
How do you know it’s not include please is it the roads that rough quit it
i think you should of at least got some good used tires before putting it on the road.....blowing a tire could have swirved it into another lane causing injury or death to someone....but thankfully you guys got it home.....
👍
why wouldnt you have fastened all those little doors and things before you guys left.....
😂 what fun would that have been
Well at least you boys will have an idea how fast the motorhome might go it might go slow is the line you win you’re in the line you’re in it might only go back past all the way home other words if you’re lucky
Project they should pay you to drive that thing away or at least partially to the paved road quit it
Well that’s what the rat hole looks like in an RV quit it but I don’t know whether it’s to let the rats and hard to let the rats out I don’t know if that hole is there to let the rats in or to let the rats out you’ll find out that later
