Im a poor boy and am purchasing a 86 winnabego cheiftan 22 for $2500.. been making payments and im down to 500 left.. then i plan on slowly modernizing the interior.. i work remodeling houses so i will do most work on it myself if not all.. i really love it.. it'll be my home, im tired of renting rooms and living with strangers.. and have always been attracted to the van life lifestyles..
I am going to today (7-3-21) to look at 1985 Winnebago Chieftain 22 going to redo the RV. Yours looks great. Will be doing a solar system and redo the outside & inside. Thank you for your video nice work.
What a beautiful rv it's not loud at all in my opinion !I bet you get noticed where ever you go it would be an absolute pleasure to own love the colours wow wow wow.i love it, I have a pair of golf pants multi coloured in fact I have 6 pairs in all all wacky patterns & colours,brilliant tour you have made my day thanks.
I have a 88 Champion LaSalle that’s in pretty decent shape. I’ve thought about upgrading it but I have too many projects in my collection that includes a 68 Camaro that needs a complete restoration. I need a sponsor! LOL
I can only imagine how much the renovation cost in time and expense but it results in a very unique, customized beauty! Lonestar and Barf never lived so well!
That was a cool walkthrough. I love seeing old stuff restored. I might be dating myself, but for a second I thought that front tag was an old 96rock tag. Would of been a good fit for that ride.
Well that sure is one fine way to travel, love what you did, and those wipers seem like they will do the job _ i just got an '84 M-22RC, all stock, for now, a nice rust-free one. . . :>/
Bought it's bigger brother (Elandan 37) brand new in 1987. Full-timed before full-timing was a social media "thing". Back then it was mostly retired people in semi-seasonal parks and youngish families actually "camping". The "nomad" movement (i.e., homeless vagabond movement) was decades away ;-) Was pretty cool back then: Not a lot of drunks or druggies or homeless populating campgrounds like today. This is way before Walmart and Cracker Barrel parking lots became infested with "campers" each night. . Good times!
what are you asking for it? and do yu ou still have it.looks beautiful, like it. would like to know is it still available. if not thanks for showing it, and if it's sold, would you wrap any other RV's?
Does anyone have a link to some of the items he upgraded it with like that computer in the front to upgrade and add a back up camera and how to add roku tvs inside
... yep... plenty of cookie cutters RVs with zero personality out there that will get better fuel economy... but if you're worried about fuel you're missing the fun here.
A job well done. It’s absolutely fabulous and to think it may have ended up as scrap. It’s not only unique but I guess you have increased your investment substantially. One point I’d like to make is I didn’t see any fire extinguishers which is worrisome. Please do consider this 🧯 🔥 and possibly a smoke detector. Other than that it’s just perfect 👍
I have the exact same rv! Just got done gutting the inside. Thanks for this video! Im definitely stealing some of these finish ideas!
Gorgeous Wrap Pattern
It's beautiful came do my Elandan!!!
I'm 3 years too late but damn! That's one hell of an rv overhaul. That thing is beautiful.

Looks like a vehicle you would expect the Partridge Family to come piling put of. 😏
🤣

What an incredible build. So we'll done ✔ 👍🤙💪💥
Wow! Fantastic!
Insanely beautiful.
Lots of work but the inside looks great. I would love to be able to do a project like that.

That Winnebago is bad-ass! I would love that RV! Awesome job
Totally outstanding!.... you've created something truly special.... Well done.

I believe he mentioned they were close to 50k so far. Not sure if that includes labor.
@@WanderingWeekends If that's 50k including how much he bought it for then he's got a great custom rig for less than new. Not counting sweat equity.
A great take on a retro/contemporary RV. Well done Paul!
That was a cool walkthrough. I love seeing old stuff restored. I might be dating myself, but for a second I thought that front tag was an old 96rock tag. Would of been a good fit for that ride.
Apparently you can still buy those!
amazing
Very cool. Sweet ride Paul!
Love this! It made me think of my 1976 Barbie camper (even though that was a GMC, I believe). I imagine it's not cheap to rent.
Man I love the uniqueness awesome video keep it up buddy

Wow that was a labor of love. Very "rad" 😁
Tubular!!
WOW!

I believe he sold it.
I lauve it!!!!
Where'd you get the cool dash console face plate?
Beautiful belongs in a Museum with a 454 you wouldn't want to be buying gas for a lot of traveling that's for sure
What forum did you use to vote for the design? I would love to see the other options.
I own a retro rig also 1977 GMC Palm Beach
Sweet just needs a chrome exhaust tip
If a 1979 Dodge hippy mattress van got a job and grew up...
Haha tho your intro u shuda been wearing Oakley Razor Blade Sunglasses to go with the surf color changing top and missing the white shell necklace!!
Haha! Nice details!
Where did you get the kitchen sink I need it
Wow!!!
Badass
This camper have in stranger things right?
Does anyone have a link to some of the items he upgraded it with like that computer in the front to upgrade and add a back up camera and how to add roku tvs inside
Very surprised , it's awesome . Not loving the paint scheme. Still Plugging along "what's going on folks ,where am I ?"
Luckily the exterior is just a wrap. They cut and buffed the original exterior before applying... plugs!
Wouldn’t want my camper to be that noisy!
Definitely not for everyone...
GOLDEN BISON AUTOBOTS 🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂
5 MPG , I am good , Easy to find something with fuel injection that gets almost 3 times as much gas mileage. So that ruins it for me.
