If you get get it for the right price, it's def. something you need. Front driver clip/motor/suspension for the bashed in RV, and cockpit seats, front bunk & range cover for the burned one. Part out the generator to get back some of your investment. I wouldn't give more than $4-5k tops - but, the investment will most likely finish both of your other RV's.
if you plan on rebuilding the one in you yard, that's you're best option. front clip for the one and seats for the other. its been sitting long enough to grow a weed. your entry bid will get it for sure
Get the part's RV to repair the other one, IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT, selling whatever is left should cover your purchasing price or close to it. Good luck ! Love your chanel.
I think it may be worth the gamble boys , got to add up the costs travel etc against what you get from the wreck and the scrap value of what you don’t use. Then there is getting it home 600 miles on a trailer or wrecker not cheap !
the cam is bent on your wrecked one probably the head also at the cam journals.you know better than I what it'll cost to get the florida one back plus fees . there is a huge rv wrecking yard in kentucky.
Thing about RV keys is the compartments are all keyed alike, even from one unit to the next. In fact, I think the only locks that have different keys from unit to unit are the chassis and the door deadbolt. There's only a handful of different keys RV manufacturers use for the compartments (its a standard key cut, you can buy it online!). So your keys would almost certainly have opened those compartments.
This one seems great buy for both rvs…the newer ones front end damage is serious challenge the cab cut/swap…all the fiberglass work has real responsibilities to for structural stability. (Reinforcing will be important)
make sure that windshield is going to fit frame supports ect on the original as that windshield is larger on the burnt one you went and looked at. Might not matter sense you will be using the whole front fiberglass cap.
Like i said a long time ago there was a Recall on those Thor RV's for wiring problem, As for the one your looking at now i would offer $ 2 to 4, Thousand if it can be used for the front and chassis of the other Rv at the workshop. But somewhere along the line you will lose one of them but make up the loss in parts .
Obviously you need this parts one to fix the crashed one. I will say one HUGE difference between the 2015 and 2016+ Vegas is they changed the windshield. The 2015 a below extend on the top an extra 12 inches or so. If you are splicing in the entire front end this should not matter but if you are going to use the windshield on the burnt one then it might be an issue.
You need a Chassis. So I would use the Front smash RV for parts. Rebuild the Fire damaged vehicle. Eric from Nomadic... is needing assistance with his Slide-out. Make some use with your spare parts. You guys have the RV Rebuild going. Just keep going with it. RV specialists. Regards
Guys I hope you bought it and I hope you pay around 2,000 or little more. Bring it home and rebuild the one at home. Buy the pick up truck I think is a Dodge. Let's do it guys. Thanks 😊
Great video guys, if you could buy and transport if for the right price its a win win, but if the screen cracked during removal would be soul destroying.
If that goes for a low price you get the whole front for your one,pretty sure the engine will be working,get a windscreen guy in to remove and fit the screen,not worth trying to save a few bucks only to break it.The tyres look pretty good,it should go low.Those great big ones are very nice but those ones are a little bit too badly damaged for you to fix,when they are on the older side you need to pick a make and model that you like,you then need to look to see can you pick up two at the same time or a while after and make one good out of the two.That F250 did not look bad,trouble is plenty of people will see it and it won't go cheap.
I really think you should try to grab that Freightliner if you think it would be worth your time to fix it. If it’s a diesel (I’m pretty sure it is) those motor homes are more valuable than gas motor homes and can carry way more than gas.
Depending on the price, that may be your cheapest option to get a new front cap, the bed and (hopefully!) a working engine (or, at least the parts you need to make the other one work).
With hindsight you should have made a good one out of the two you had and to have three that won't make two good ones because the interior in latest is no good.....its a dilemma I don't need..but can't wait for you to decide
The biggest problem with any RV including the million dollar ones is a total lack of safety standards for the wiring and accessories like A/c units, heaters etc. That is one reason there are many RV fires. If I'm not mistaken, the only thing that has to pass any type of certification is the " rolling chassis " . After that you can build or bolt on anything and wire it anyway you feel like. These days with everybody cutting corners to make a few more bucks shortcuts will be taken any where they can find them.
Use the seats and stuff out of the wreck and finish your fire rebuild, then put the remains up for sale- maybe you'll find a guy who has one hit or burned in rear. You don't need 2 of them.
I am seeing most of the front end parts you need. Hard to find. Can you confirm motor was not damaged. Its a different year than the messed up front end is it the same model? Will everything you need fit?
It all depends what is useable on it and how much the parts would cost themselves. Would it be cheaper to buy them individually (if you can find them)? Or, would the cost of all the available parts be more than what you pay for the vehicle? It's all down to what you van get it for guys. 👍
I'd get that. Need to figure your time for transport, etc. but whatever that motor costs plus the glass separately will likely be far more than it sells for. Of course, if a dumb insurance company sells it On Approval, they may have a vastly inflated view of its value. From what I've seen at Copart, many of these insurance companies have no idea what the salvage value is of some of these units. I'm betting the motor is good on that one.
Hey guys, I'm not really sure if another RV will be worth the investment. If the price is 3 to 4 thousand $$, I buy it. More of that, you have to analyze it. Good luck guys.👍
It depends on the cost. If you can buy it cheap, tow it to a scrap yard and get the Sawzall out. Take home the whole nose, engine, transmission, overhead bed parts, tires and wheels and leave the rest. I wouldn't invest a lot - you already bought the crashed RV for parts!
GO FOR the camper!!.....BUT...... add the 2 prices together - you may be spending more then it's worth. PICK UPS - compare prices, the Chevy seems simple enough with little investment - whereas the FORD is more involved & bigger $$ investment $$ -> AIR BAGS $$

Not sure I'd be wanting to use to many of the parts from it after that fire
That would be a good idea for the channel and it will be a interesting to say the least. Good job guy's
You two are so funny , cheers me up watching you both , you work so hard and do a lovely job well done guys ,keep it up
well it sold 2 hours ago for 3k, so I'd say you guys did okay on it. Also, I think you guys doing a boat would be a cool idea too.
Glad to see this! That's a decent price for what should finish both of the other RV's.
Heck yes the RV would save you allot of money. And you guys do some great work.

Keep looking guys I would pass on the Florida RV

Cool thx for the info !!
Should be able to saw it down, scrap it in place, take the front and the chassis home only, it will be easier cheaper
Its copart not a junk yard. Your not aloud.
was thinking the same thing. take it to a walmart parking lot, lol!

Front end looks good for your other RV project… just as long as you can fix the engine !
I know a house painter who used to paint burnoutß. He said they used aluminum paint on the attics and wood aireas to cover burnt woods. Mike
Great watching R.V lads keep it up

Great video guys, if you could buy and transport if for the right price its a win win, but if the screen cracked during removal would be soul destroying.
Go for it. Need a lot of the parts. Just don't try to do the glass (front windshield) yourselves.
I'd go ahead and take a chance and bid on it see what it gos for
On Copart it says this lot sold on 7/21. Did y'all win it??
That one is up in the air guys!

Love the weeds going out of it !

Cool fish tank!!!!
very nice ciclid fish tank guys
Let`s Do IT.
Yes yes yes buy buy buy!!! Nice bigass aqua background.
It's time to get the rvs done and builds some trucks
Been watching you guys for a long time. Like the projects!!
Fingers crossed for you guys think its a good buy
Use the keys from your other Thor they are all the same for the doors mostly.
Worth a couple of thousand for the engine and front panel. Dont try to do the screen yourself guys, you will break it!!
With hindsight you should have made a good one out of the two you had and to have three that won't make two good ones because the interior in latest is no good.....its a dilemma I don't need..but can't wait for you to decide
Them rv's seem to be fire traps
Trouble is when a fire happens often times the vehicle is out in the middle of nowhere and response time takes a toll.
Often ......The payment book catches fire.
You could make a mold of your burned RV front end us it to make a replacement for the crashed one.
Front windshield seems to have two cracks/chips right under the wiper? 1:18
Go for the parts RV. Use everything that you need, selll what you can, and scrap the remainder of the vehicle.
I would wait and see if you can get something better but the f250 would be a good build
I'd go for the bigger challange...Get the excavator!
The biggest problem with any RV including the million dollar ones is a total lack of safety standards for the wiring and accessories like A/c units, heaters etc. That is one reason there are many RV fires. If I'm not mistaken, the only thing that has to pass any type of certification is the " rolling chassis " . After that you can build or bolt on anything and wire it anyway you feel like.

Use the seats and stuff out of the wreck and finish your fire rebuild, then put the remains up for sale- maybe you'll find a guy who has one hit or burned in rear. You don't need 2 of them.
If the front nose will fit your shell theres no question that I wouldn't go for it plus plenty of extra parts to maybe fix another one
Buy the Axis for the front end parts and engine, leave the rest down there except for maybe the Super Duty.
You got to work it out? It is probably best to buy that parts RV if you can get it for good price and then sell one make a profit!!
and it has some nice wheels on it, always the optimist
I am seeing most of the front end parts you need. Hard to find. Can you confirm motor was not damaged. Its a different year than the messed up front end is it the same model? Will everything you need fit?
When you looked at the boat it reminded me that I’ve never seen a follow up on your boat with the overheating engine
There was a local jobsite torched a couple years ago the excavator and other equip were total loss wonder if its the same one
It all depends what is useable on it and how much the parts would cost themselves. Would it be cheaper to buy them individually (if you can find them)? Or, would the cost of all the available parts be more than what you pay for the vehicle?
It's all down to what you van get it for guys. 👍
That was your nose and engine. Good luck✌🏽
Why do they keep catching fire is the ❓
Buy it and the one at 3:45 you can fix it easily
If you could get it for a good price might not be bad. Just make sure it’s not more than a new windshield and engine.
it could be used for the one with the front end damage to make one good one i guess.
I see a new fire-damaged rebuild coming!!!!
I think the good nose and if the motor is good 3-5k minus your shipping cost
Go for the parts RV. Use what you need and sell the rest.
I'd get that. Need to figure your time for transport, etc. but whatever that motor costs plus the glass separately will likely be far more than it sells for.

I love to follow your channel, I am from Arabs
i think u should get the second rv u shown
Get it 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
It depends on the cost. If you can buy it cheap, tow it to a scrap yard and get the Sawzall out. Take home the whole nose, engine, transmission, overhead bed parts, tires and wheels and leave the rest. I wouldn't invest a lot - you already bought the crashed RV for parts!
Go for it. $2500 provided the engine runs. Everything behind the drivers seat is scrap.
If the engine is good as well as the front end them why Not?👍
Yes for sure
Check it first brother ,
Me personally I go for the excavator because it's the bigger challenge but with the bigger challenge comes more money lol
Go for it
i think it is a great parts unit
For 3k take it home is a good deal definitely
Pretty sure you bought it. Tarp on windshield
You should have went a week before the auction & taken a vacation ,bought & brought it back, I think you could get for $1500 -$2000
yeah looks like they are R V bacues
Where was this Copart in Florida?
Get the Platnum to fix and lift
i think i would fit a fire alarm before going any further :o)dont buy it just for the windscreen.its got plenty of parts that you cant buy :o)
The windshield will be a challenge to remove without breaking it.
Nikos new Channel;..BBQed RVs....
go for it
i now watch Niko Brothers.
When are you going to finish the Cobra
What happened to the Cobra?
I think it be worth it
”not that bad” 😳
Take the parts from the damaged one and send it back to vopart.
Give an offer for $1000. What’s the worst that could happen? they will deny.
Looks like they would like to clear up the space. So give a shot
how many of these RV's spntaneously combust ? :-o
Only on the cheap , as shipping 600 miles is costly unless your doing that as well,
See what happens when you put spicy foods in the fridge Michael!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
go get it
GO FOR the camper!!.....BUT...... add the 2 prices together - you may be spending more then it's worth.
PICK UPS - compare prices, the Chevy seems simple enough with little investment - whereas the FORD is more involved & bigger $$ investment $$ -> AIR BAGS $$
Did you ever wonder why this model seems to Suffer from fires ??
