I love it that you are putting this all into perspective. While I may not be anywhere near averse to mechanical work, I can appreciate all the advice you are passing on. Thank you so much again. I want to buy you a drink or three one day, when I meet you in person. You have my utmost respect. I am in your debt.

Thanks Jim! Your knowledge is unprecedented.

Jim , Such valuable information for a potential new owner like me. Listening to you is like meeting up with a cave-diver coming out of a cave which you are about to explore and being informed where to turn right and where to turn left. Love your frankness and most of all when you often say “ just go back to basics”.

Great to see my coach in one of your videos Jim, can’t wait to collect it!

Happy Revcon owner here, #71-0004. Love what
you do! We share a drivetrain! Jim, please tell people
we also need to adjust our torsion bars so our axles
are dead horizontal out of the third member so our
coaches ride with the CV boots NOT twisting up
and down every rotation. Perfect recipe for ripping
them open, as seen in your excellent video.

I like this old school mechanics, doesn't need a computer or sensor to see what's wrong with the vehicle. Just by feel and touch with your hand and visual with your eyes. I remember a English youtuber Greendot asking an old mechanics in a machine shop, when does he know how to stop grinding the crankshaft. The answer by feel.

Jim this is great stuff!

Nice Job Jim. Always good information. I will offer to you the idea of the titles have Part I, Part II.... Or maybe naming them Front end, Air suspension ....

[@joeholt7578]

I like the Fiero GT in the background. 👍

They’re rarer now, once one caught on fire they all did

Is there anyway to get a copy of the 5 page mechanical review sheet so I could go through it?

[@weyrunner2838]

I'm about to STRIP a 26 footer I have in storage because it's becoming COUNTERPRODUCTIVE to continue paying storage on it and MOVING it 70 miles is more than I can afford. What parts would you first recommend salvaging if I'm not planning on a complete salvage? I have a running 26 footer in my back yard and hope to save most valuable, most rare parts possible to save for that couch. Thanks.....

[@jethrezelquizol6690]

So what do you do now to replace those CV Bearings now, may I ask?

[@BridgeGuitar]

Hi Jim, thanks for this video. Do you know someone you could recommend to me to work on my GMC in the Pacific NW? Thanks, Mark-Boise

Hi Jim, I had a 76 Eleganza several years ago (had several repairs done at your shop) but sold it.
Am now in search of a 23’ and would like to get your 5 page mechanical review sheet to assist me in my search.
Thank you, Bill Earnhardt.
