Thanks! He ended up deciding to relocate his home at some point (thankfully). I guess we were causing too much commotion. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Was so fun watching my dad was a mechanic and I use to help him a lot my parents Aldo built a small camper when I was young brings back memories. Thank you
Oh to be young 😅🤪 I'm talking about the dad and the Son and the mom! What enthusiasm and drive! I restored our beloved Lucy a nineteen seventy-seven Dodge mallard class C. But not this extensively! Just more expensively! I had mechanics do everything okay I did r&r a couple of small electrical things.. I did not take the shell off! But we did put in a new bathroom and uncovered a lot of really rotten stuff! They did not build them very strong back then I mean the materials for the walls were paper-thin.. so we put in thick under board and then a nice white paneling like you had on your ceiling inside that you eventually covered with contact paper. Now there's an idea I may think about doing myself. I had to do everything and more than you're doing on your beloved Henry..! But we love our Lucy! I do like the simplicity of the old-school machines. We took out the toilet and replaced it with a cassette toilet and put a valve in to join both tanks into one big gray tank. I really love what you're doing but it's a lot more work than I could do.. we were able to keep everything inside just reupholster put down wood flooring. And it all worked out good for us as well. I wish we could meet up sometime and Lucy and Henry could meet.lol
From everything we've seen, it sounds like maybe these old campers are build a lot more sound and sturdy than the new stuff they're cranking off of the line. It's nice to have people like you following along who have gone through this type of renovation. We seriously underestimated the amount of time that the engine work would add to the project. We're thinking of going with a cassette toilet in our next project. How do you like it?
Cracker Jacks always had peanut….at least when I was a kid. We didn’t have all the allergies. I would have loved an allergy from liver. 😊 You guys are fun to watch. It really is looking good.
Hello guys we hang out in W. Michigan, Whitehall , living aboard a 50ft water RV! Enjoying the restore…we may do this in a year for travel to and from our winter Az home. It’s fun to watch you guys!
love the content of this channel , we have an 1987 dolphin 30' motorhome ,that I had to do alot of work to inside , one critique though please put a solid surface ,(maybe doubled up 3/4 plywood ) under your floor jack , I would hate to see it sink and someone get hurt , BUT I LOVE WHAT YOU FOLKS DO
Thank you! We're looking forward to getting started on our 1973 Holiday Rambler soon. We think it's going to be so much faster to work on something without a motor. We'll see! Good luck with your project!
@retrorevivals I've had dozens of old Mopars. My favorites are the A-bodies, mostly the '67-72 range. But I've had trucks, vans, and even have a Travco 320.
We love seeing you get the kid's involved. It makes for great memories and good content for your channel. Keep on getting exited and never stop loving the Lord. We can do great things with God on our side.
1/2" x 1/2" cove molding works great around all the wall to roof and cabinet to wall and roof corners in RVs. My parents (and later me with them) rebuilt and revamped several motorhomes. A common thing they had was a round, soft plastic bead with a flange along its side. The flange was fit between the walls and roof and the cabinets so the round bead ran along every corner. It looked cheap and tacky when it was new and worse when it shrank and cracked over years. The fix was cutting it off with a sharp knife and putting cove molding in its place. Where your roof isn't flat, a simple 1/4" thick board with the top edge scribed and cut with a jigsaw to match the ups and downs will take care of it. Painted white and nailed to the cabinets it'll covereth all the "sins". ;)
A wise old home inspector that we work with once told us, "Caulk and paint makes a carpenter what he ain't!" We'll probably have a decent amount of caulk and paint in here but will definitely need to get some trim as well. Thanks for the tip on the cove molding!
Just do me a favor. Please put a Jack stand under the camper when it’s on a Jack. Just in case the Jack slips . For your safety. Great job with this project
Yes, I think we have had jack stands under there whenever it's raised (even if we also leave the jack) but they aren't always visible since we have to push them pretty far under. Thank you for watching and commenting!
We weren't sure of our exact plans for Harvey when we started working on it but now we're so excited to start camping in it with the kids that we'll have to keep it! Thanks for the comment!
Found you guys from the sleeperdude 2 channel, i have already watched every video so far and loved them all, im excited for the next video, and congrats on 2k almost 3k now
Great progress! :) I like you very much. If I ever come to the US, I would visit you :) In October I will go back to Spain with my 1979/80 GMC Fleetwood Pace Arrow! I can send you some photos from the trip if you want.
I live in Spain, in Benissa, a town in the South-East of Spain near the Mediterranean Sea. I use my old Pace Arrow for working and living 5-6 months per year in Germany. I own the motorhome now more than 9 years. 🙂@@retrorevivals
Harvey made a guest appearance on another channel this week!! How crazy was that to see!! It was a little shocking to learn they had never heard of Retro Revival, so it's a good thing you made a very nice introduction. Seems like maybe a few might be gathering over here from over there, so good work on the cross advertising!! Harvey is looking better and better every week. Those new green wheels def set Harvey apart from all the others. Something I was expecting to see this week was another run to Maynerds for some cheese curds and shampoo and a few 2x4's and maybe a new nail gun or something. Instead we get Harbor Freight and a miter saw. Disappointing to say the least. Despite the Maynerd snub, still looking forward to see what progress is made in the upcoming eps. 🤷♂
Love reading your comments! We're trying to make a go of this TH-cam thing so the new subs lately have been exciting. We'll try to get you a better glimpse of the new green wheels in the next video. We worked many late nights on this one and needed to stop at some point or the video would have never been able to be published (and it would have been way too long). Sorry for the MayNerds disappointment. They say to allow 6 weeks for those darn rebate checks so hopefully we get it soon and head back there. Cheese curds and shampoo, lol.
@@retrorevivals It really does take six weeks. It’s all part of their plan to get you to shop. It’s like shopping tax free, at least it was when my sakes tax was 9.75%.
I came across your channel, and I watched every episode, and I can't wait until the next posting. Thank you for sharing your content keep up the great work 👍
Seafoam penatrant really helps with breaking loose rust, I call it a poor man's liquid torch lol it's so far the best lubricant for helping get nuts bolts etc loose that rusted tight
@@retrorevivals I just got my 78 Class c home, and I had to swap out the back drives cause it had rotten tires, and the lugs were rusted seized not even my Bertha big impact gun could move the lugs, bent my 6 ft breaker bar, I put the seafoam penatrant on and I spun the lugs off as if they were brand new just sucks when I started I didn't have the spray but I finally a can of it and got tired swapped out no problem, I have to be a little less bullheaded and acting like young guy lol anyhow love the videos keep them coming please
Have to figure out how send u those pics lol found some interesting goodies on demo lol like pinched broken wire on a.c. power wire, corroded completely through gas line, lol crack grey water tank, not installed properly water lines lol
Hello Im a newbie sub! I am loving your videos, best part is all mentioned my other favorite channel Sleeperdude and family! I love them. Looking forward to seeing the rv fully done! Blessings from Thorsby Alabama!
Awesome, Tim, thanks for the sub! We're happy to have you along for the ride. We don't really watch much TV but we do set aside some time for Sleeperdude and the fam. Have you ever watched Puddin's Fab Shop? That's another good one.
I just stumbled onto this channel and I'm glad I did. I like seeing families working together. When that plane went over and you pretended to shoot at them, I was thinking of Snoopy the red baron and then it popped up. That was funny. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Great family time. ❤
Another great video 👍. Good to see everyone pitching in. HaRV is gonna look great, I can't wait to see the end result. I've been putting off doing the breaking system on my RV. I did them once before and thinking about what it took last time makes me shudder. At least this time I know how most of it is put together 😁. And I like your idea on the ceiling panels, I used foam spray glue to help with insulation and it is still sticking fine (I also used white rtv on All the edges and wiped flush with a wet rubber putty knife). Thanks again for sharing your experiences with us 👍😁❤️
Such great progress! Just a thought…you might want to pull those two back cabinets down and move the spacer from the left by the tower over to the right by the side cabinets. Your cabinet doors may bang into each other the way it is so close now. Great idea to lay those vertical kitchen cabinets on their side! Can’t wait for the next episode!
Thanks so much for the comment! We kept thinking about those cabinets after we installed them and were prepared to take them down and add the filler piece there but we held up a couple of doors and we think that we're going to have enough clearance for them both to open. Not at the same time, obviously, but we should be in the clear on that (hopefully!).
I love all the progress you're making on the RV. I watched your latest video earlier tonight and am now watching Sleeperdude and saw them open the tshirts you sent them!! How exciting!! They came out great.
Great episode! Love the green wheels. We did our front brakes already and I can confirm how heavy those rotors are! Im not looking forward to doing the rears!
Thank you! Sorry we didn't get better shots of the RV with the green wheels on. We'll try to show it more in the next video. Good luck with your brakes 🥳
This is Christy... I think it's a great idea! I'm not sure how Tyler would feel about cutting his mustache like that but it would be cool. They do resemble one another, lol! Thanks for the comment!
Good call on the wheels! I hope you replaced the valve stems on the new wheels. Why did you not replace the 47 year old rotors with over 90,000 miles on them? Same question for the rear drums?
Yep, new valve stems for sure. As for the rotors and drums they were in decent shape. Nothing was overly grooved or damaged. After a couple of drives the rotors cleaned up and there's no pulsing or shake. The pedal feels nice and firm.
Hey guys I see you haven't a 1974 70 ritual RV look at endless adventurous they just redid one themselves the same truck same old same everything it might help you a lot
Thank you! We have seen their channel... a bit nerve wracking to see all the problems that keep popping up with theirs. Thanks for watching and commenting!
You need to take your rotors to get them turned you can’t just use wire wheel on them. Take them to the auto part store cost like 20 or 30 bucks have them turn your rotors. Then you need to mic the rotors makes sure they are safe to use. Too then your rotors and your drums. How you know if you need too that gridding noise and it stops starts grinding again great sound to know you’re rotors and drums are warped they do need to be turned and miced do make sure their still safe to drive on. They can over heat while braking crack and brake then you have no brakes to stop.
I'll probably wind up getting new rotors at a later date. My main goal was to get it mobile again. The rear drums were in decent shape and not grooved. They might need to be turned but will work for now. Thanks for the reply
I can’t stop laughing… crackerjacks does in fact have peanuts… all the ones I ate as a kid did at least 😂… also every time they mention fiddle faddle I can’t stop laughing. Another favourite when I was a kid in the 80s 😂… I’ve watched enough of this family to know I need to sub! There, DONE! From commiefornia 😂. 🤘🏾👍🏾 keep up the great content!
I’m man as always entertaining but until you all started painting those panels I was like mmmmm do they know they are going different directions or is it just me being ocd 🤣🥴
😂 Oh my gosh, that would have been terrible. We're too OCD to leave it that way for sure! We were thankful that we didn't have to worry about the pattern on that paneling though; that would have taken a lot longer and we would have ended up with more seams. Thanks for watching!
Why didn't you guys turn the AC on while you were painting and it was so hot by the way I did watch sleeperdude2 mail opening and seen the shirt you got for them and the nice letter and I mentioned you in the comments like you wanted I hope it brings you more subs
Well, about the A/C... we have wiring that isn't connected yet because we need to run it into the kitchen cabinet. As soon as we get the wiring back together, we'll be able to get the shore power going again and we will definitely fire up that A/C unit! That was cool seeing the shirts and our channel name on Sleeperdude! We were trending up in subs before that but we're cruising along pretty good right now so I think it helped! Thanks again for watching and commenting!
@@retrorevivals it's not a problem I've seen your subscriber count going up pretty quick but I love your guys comradery you guys are beautiful together your children are beautiful and throw the dog in there more and that's going to attract people to you know people love our four-legged friends
We ended up being able to use the original bathroom surround. We did look at replacing it but, you're right, they're hard to find! Here's the full bathroom video of you wanted to take a peek - th-cam.com/video/G23Oyi86g4g/w-d-xo.html.
Haha, you're not the first person to say that. It's actually ok. The paneling doesn't have grooves in any way and we painted it (keep watching) so it doesn't actually show. Our OCD would never allow us to mish mash it 😆 Thanks for watching!
Someone probably has already said this but here it is again. There is no logical reason for putting grease in the inner portion of the hub, semi solid grease never travels from inside to the bearings, if it did then it wouldn’t have been full when you opened it up. I’m not sure how this got started but just about everyone does it. Just saying. But on the bright side I really like the work you two are doing, keep up the good work.
Oh my gosh, your lips to God's ears! Actually, we've talked about building a pole barn for a few years now. We're considering doing it sooner rather than later at this point. Covid made building materials so expensive, we decided to wait for a bit. Thanks again for watching!
None of the hardware was beyond their life except for the calipers and cylinders and of course pads and shoes. But you're right,it would've been peace of mind 😉

Drum brakes are my favorite to rebuild! Great stopping power too!
I think they work well. I've had a number of vehicles with 4 wheel drum brakes. Just takes a little more leg😁.
I kept thinking of Spacely Sprockets when Tyler was working on the brakes!😂
Love your videos!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I see that you did put Jack stands on the back. Thanks, just want to keep you guys safe and making more content
We do appreciate it!
Cracker Jacks had peanuts back in the '70s.... I remember sorting them out as a child.
I think it's neat what kind of things we remember from our childhood. A lot of Cracker Jack memories no doubt 😁
Love those sweet socks! Make sure you wash them once in a while! ❤
Wait, what?!? You're supposed to wash socks? This is brand new information!
You two are so funny together! Congrats on 1500! Learning a lot from you!😊
Thanks so much, Diane! We appreciate you watching and commenting 🎉
Oh to be young 😅🤪 I'm talking about the dad and the Son and the mom! What enthusiasm and drive! I restored our beloved Lucy a nineteen seventy-seven Dodge mallard class C. But not this extensively! Just more expensively! I had mechanics do everything okay I did r&r a couple of small electrical things.. I did not take the shell off! But we did put in a new bathroom and uncovered a lot of really rotten stuff! They did not build them very strong back then I mean the materials for the walls were paper-thin.. so we put in thick under board and then a nice white paneling like you had on your ceiling inside that you eventually covered with contact paper. Now there's an idea I may think about doing myself. I had to do everything and more than you're doing on your beloved Henry..! But we love our Lucy! I do like the simplicity of the old-school machines. We took out the toilet and replaced it with a cassette toilet and put a valve in to join both tanks into one big gray tank. I really love what you're doing but it's a lot more work than I could do.. we were able to keep everything inside just reupholster put down wood flooring. And it all worked out good for us as well. I wish we could meet up sometime and Lucy and Henry could meet.lol

As a rule of thumb, remove and replace inner seal and clean out all the old grease and repack inner bearing.
Thanks for the comment! We ended up replacing all of the seals and repacking the bearings. I'm not sure if all of that made it into the video though.
Tyler's laugh at installing the break caliper after pulling it off again, reminded me of Billy Maddison little waesle laugh!😅
That's so funny 😂 We used that clip in another video when he did a similar laugh. You should hear when he breaks out the George McFly laugh!

You should have power washed the front underside areas and recoated with POR or Eastwood frame paint. Anything worth doing is worth doing right.
When time allows I'd like to dress up and protect those areas too. Maybe in the future 😉
Great job so far

Thank you 🙌 🙌 We appreciate you watching!
I just stumbled onto this channel and I'm glad I did. I like seeing families working together. When that plane went over and you pretended to shoot at them, I was thinking of Snoopy the red baron and then it popped up. That was funny. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Great family time. ❤
That's awesome, we're glad you found our channel too! Thanks for the comment!
Another great video 👍.
Good to see everyone pitching in. HaRV is gonna look great, I can't wait to see the end result.
I've been putting off doing the breaking system on my RV. I did them once before and thinking about what it took last time makes me shudder. At least this time I know how most of it is put together 😁.
And I like your idea on the ceiling panels, I used foam spray glue to help with insulation and it is still sticking fine (I also used white rtv on All the edges and wiped flush with a wet rubber putty knife).
Thanks again for sharing your experiences with us 👍😁❤️
You're welcome and thank you! We sort of put off the brake job a little bit too. It's a huge task! Thanks for the comment!
Fun video!!
Thank you! 🥳
Such great progress! Just a thought…you might want to pull those two back cabinets down and move the spacer from the left by the tower over to the right by the side cabinets. Your cabinet doors may bang into each other the way it is so close now. Great idea to lay those vertical kitchen cabinets on their side! Can’t wait for the next episode!
Thanks so much for the comment! We kept thinking about those cabinets after we installed them and were prepared to take them down and add the filler piece there but we held up a couple of doors and we think that we're going to have enough clearance for them both to open. Not at the same time, obviously, but we should be in the clear on that (hopefully!).
Looks good!! Greetings 👋
Thank you! Greetings back to you too! 😊
I love all the progress you're making on the RV. I watched your latest video earlier tonight and am now watching Sleeperdude and saw them open the tshirts you sent them!! How exciting!! They came out great.
Thank you, it was fun! We appreciate your comments!
You are so talented and know how to fix everything. Amazing
That's very sweet of you to say. Thank you!
Awesome
Thanks so much 🥳
Looking great!
Thanks so much!
I like giving you TH-cam channel is a shot in the dark hope you guys have a lot of fun with Harvey vrv I'm❤
We're hoping to get out camping soon!
Please put some jack stands under the frame please .
Yes, thank you!
Great episode! Love the green wheels. We did our front brakes already and I can confirm how heavy those rotors are! Im not looking forward to doing the rears!
Thank you! Sorry we didn't get better shots of the RV with the green wheels on. We'll try to show it more in the next video. Good luck with your brakes 🥳
If you dress up for Halloween, I think Tyler could be Burt Gummer from Tremors. He reminds me a lot of Michael Gross.
This is Christy... I think it's a great idea! I'm not sure how Tyler would feel about cutting his mustache like that but it would be cool. They do resemble one another, lol! Thanks for the comment!
Good call on the wheels! I hope you replaced the valve stems on the new wheels.
Why did you not replace the 47 year old rotors with over 90,000 miles on them? Same question for the rear drums?
Yep, new valve stems for sure. As for the rotors and drums they were in decent shape. Nothing was overly grooved or damaged. After a couple of drives the rotors cleaned up and there's no pulsing or shake. The pedal feels nice and firm.
Hey guys I see you haven't a 1974 70 ritual RV look at endless adventurous they just redid one themselves the same truck same old same everything it might help you a lot
Thank you! We have seen their channel... a bit nerve wracking to see all the problems that keep popping up with theirs. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@retrorevivals yeah I hope you all don't go through the same thing cuz at the truck gate in hell it's still giving them hell
You need to take your rotors to get them turned you can’t just use wire wheel on them. Take them to the auto part store cost like 20 or 30 bucks have them turn your rotors. Then you need to mic the rotors makes sure they are safe to use. Too then your rotors and your drums. How you know if you need too that gridding noise and it stops starts grinding again great sound to know you’re rotors and drums are warped they do need to be turned and miced do make sure their still safe to drive on. They can over heat while braking crack and brake then you have no brakes to stop.
I'll probably wind up getting new rotors at a later date. My main goal was to get it mobile again. The rear drums were in decent shape and not grooved. They might need to be turned but will work for now. Thanks for the reply
Did you torque those rear lug nuts to spec?
👍🏻I torqued all the wheels to spec. We should be good.
Why didn’t you recess the hinges
Other people commented on the hinges too 😂. You see, Harvey here, he's kind of rustic in a way so we were ok with the exposed hinges.
Did you service the potentially 47 year old differential fluid?
Yep,we should be good there 😁
what is the name of the product you used in the bathroom shower? Was it a Sealant?
We purchased it from Home Depot but here's a link to it on Amazon - amzn.to/3YZZ6qf. It's Rustoleum Tub & Tile Refinishing Kit. We used gloss white.
I can’t stop laughing… crackerjacks does in fact have peanuts… all the ones I ate as a kid did at least 😂… also every time they mention fiddle faddle I can’t stop laughing. Another favourite when I was a kid in the 80s 😂… I’ve watched enough of this family to know I need to sub! There, DONE! From commiefornia 😂. 🤘🏾👍🏾 keep up the great content!
Thanks so much for the sub! Glad to have you along for the ride!
I’m man as always entertaining but until you all started painting those panels I was like mmmmm do they know they are going different directions or is it just me being ocd 🤣🥴
😂 Oh my gosh, that would have been terrible. We're too OCD to leave it that way for sure! We were thankful that we didn't have to worry about the pattern on that paneling though; that would have taken a lot longer and we would have ended up with more seams. Thanks for watching!
@@retrorevivals hahah yeah I was like mmmm 😋 but worked out in the end can’t wait for the next instalment! God bless
Why didn't you guys turn the AC on while you were painting and it was so hot by the way I did watch sleeperdude2 mail opening and seen the shirt you got for them and the nice letter and I mentioned you in the comments like you wanted I hope it brings you more subs
Well, about the A/C... we have wiring that isn't connected yet because we need to run it into the kitchen cabinet. As soon as we get the wiring back together, we'll be able to get the shore power going again and we will definitely fire up that A/C unit! That was cool seeing the shirts and our channel name on Sleeperdude! We were trending up in subs before that but we're cruising along pretty good right now so I think it helped! Thanks again for watching and commenting!
@@retrorevivals it's not a problem I've seen your subscriber count going up pretty quick but I love your guys comradery you guys are beautiful together your children are beautiful and throw the dog in there more and that's going to attract people to you know people love our four-legged friends
The panelling is going in different directions 😢
Nooooo! It's an illusion. There aren't groves in it so once we painted everything, it was all good 👍🏼👍🏼 We'd never do that ☺️
Should have done the back bearing and seal too
Hi Kirk, thanks for the comment. We actually did all 4 seals, they all just didn't make it into the video. Thanks for watching!
where did you get the shower stall for the rv? i need one
We ended up being able to use the original bathroom surround. We did look at replacing it but, you're right, they're hard to find! Here's the full bathroom video of you wanted to take a peek - th-cam.com/video/G23Oyi86g4g/w-d-xo.html.
Either all the panelling needs to be vertical or horizontal. Not a mish mash
Haha, you're not the first person to say that. It's actually ok. The paneling doesn't have grooves in any way and we painted it (keep watching) so it doesn't actually show. Our OCD would never allow us to mish mash it 😆 Thanks for watching!
Someone probably has already said this but here it is again. There is no logical reason for putting grease in the inner portion of the hub, semi solid grease never travels from inside to the bearings, if it did then it wouldn’t have been full when you opened it up. I’m not sure how this got started but just about everyone does it. Just saying. But on the bright side I really like the work you two are doing, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the reply. You make a very good point. Better to have more than needed than not enough 😉. I'll keep that in mind for next time.
Howdy
Howdy 🤠
Good stuff
It will be no time at all and you will be building a new shop. With all the TH-cam money I hope.
Oh my gosh, your lips to God's ears! Actually, we've talked about building a pole barn for a few years now. We're considering doing it sooner rather than later at this point. Covid made building materials so expensive, we decided to wait for a bit. Thanks again for watching!

Brake components are cheap. Why did you not replace the 47 year old brake pads and hardware? You were already in there.
None of the hardware was beyond their life except for the calipers and cylinders and of course pads and shoes. But you're right,it would've been peace of mind 😉
Still laughing at caliper butt
😂😂😂
