  • I bought a 1988 Winnebago on an online auction. Measuring in at 32' long we need to remove it within a day, can we get it running good enough to make the drive home? #willitrun #winnebago #motorhome #rv

    28:55 ... uhhh thoes gas tanks have a nozzle that removes the need for a funnel in most applications ..you all seemed so smart and savvy and then ?? unless its one of thoes bought a Wedco nozzle set to use on the Scepter gas can but the 2 manufactureres nozzles dont inter mix.. a wedcos nozzle will Slip out of the scepters locking coller cap. but a scepters will work in a wedco.

    I have resurrected several old RV's and one sitting for 6 years is not that bad, especially for a quadrajet, which can set over 10 years with ease and still work fine. Most RV's didn't get fuel injection until the 90's, and if you can take the time to actually understand a carburetor, they are great. In fact I will take a carburetor over fuel injection any day. If the refrigerator has an ammonia smell, it is leaking and should be replaced or professionally rebuilt.

These guys have great personalities, and are pretty darn entertaining. Isnt life hard enough sometimes as it is, without having someone we dont even know try and dictate how we should or should not talk? I dont get the negative mindset of someone who would leave a comment like you did.

    Definitely wasn't as bad inside as I thought it would be.
    Should have put some Seafoam in the gas, that would have helped with the carburetor.
    Run an Ozone Generator inside for a week to get rid of the smell.

    • @TheCrawdadman
      @TheCrawdadman 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have a 36 ft class A on the Ford f-550 chassis and damn her booty swings far 😂 One good thing my dad pointed out (previous owner) was when towing a trailer the tail swing helps keep you away from curbs and the axles follow you around the corner much better when making tighter turns towing so it does have one benefit but that's it haha. Just isn't fun when making a left or right turn at a intersection with cars in the lane next to you.

    I swear it looks like your in or near Hanover/gettysburg/littlestown/new Oxford area but then again 75% of PA looks the damn same lol
    If you are in pa and mess with racing and racetracks then you’re probably familiar with the area I come from because we use to have an active super busy and loud racetrack less then a hop skip and jump away but it closed is 2021 I believe it was an I guess still is referred to or called trail way speedway. The bros that owned it sold it and the new owner I believe it looks like is using the land for possibly real estate opps and maybe some extra farming space, sad to see it go like that but what yah gonna do?? Yah know

    Older engines like that sometimes ran off of the battery so you probably have a bad alternator im kind surprised it dosent have at least 2 batteries. My town had an old fire truck that was like that ran only off of battery and the alternator couldn't keep up because the dumbass mechanics that worked on thought it only needed one alternator when it had brakets for two.

    A lot of times the body of the camper and the cab aren't from the same model year. Example: my 1986 Class C by rights it should have fuel injection because '86 was the first year of EFI for Ford. However, the E350 frame chassi cab it rides on is a 1985.

    Great RV! Great job, guys! Probably good to syphen out the old fuel with a wet vac or pump or something before setting off -- might have prevented some of the carburettor and running issues. And I know it was probably not possible at the time, but it might have helped the brakes to douse them with brake cleaner -- just to free them up, get rid of a bit of dirt and rust, etc. Mechanical problems can always be solved. The real hurdle is: What does the wife think of it? I think she'll (the wife) like the RV. And I think she'll (the RV) clean up real nice. Try to restore her back to original -- give her (the RV) that dignity. Great job, guys! Keep safe out there!
