  • This 1989 Ford E350 was purchased from a neighbor with about 50,000 miles on it and a few areas showing the age. Spent about 3-4 months on and off remodeling this RV after work and on weekends.
    Let me know your thoughts in the comments if you have any suggestions or tips for things I could have done better! Cheers

    great job but boy, was it in rough shape when you bought it and paid too much. I bought a 22 foot 89 Ford RV here in Canada for $3,500 and no repairs needed except to do some resealing.

    • @NorCalNiche
      @NorCalNiche  4 месяца назад +1

      Not wrong about that! Unfortunately that’s a premium you can’t avoid paying along with everything else overpriced in CA. Par for the course as they say ⛳️

    15,000.00 man u got those people. i have a 1983 only paid 1000 for it and it is bigger

    • @NorCalNiche
      @NorCalNiche  Год назад +1

      Yeah I wouldn’t say got them as it was still a young RV in great shape mechanically, no question. However I was firm on price as covid brought lots of interest so I would be lying if I didn’t use that to my advantage!
      What kind is yours?

    It's almost impossible to find any info on these model's i been searching and searching for anything videos pictures but this is the only bit of info I've found. I have a 90 honey just like yours but the bathroom is in the back with full shower sink and toilet not a wet bath but full bathroom. It was just given to me from family. Wanna buy it? I'm in nor cal about an hour from Sacramento

    Thanks...I just won $10 from a friend who disagreed with me that it would be all white inside. Everyone who trashes our old campers always chunks on the cheap white paint all over the inside and presents it as "clean and bright". Laziness and cheapness. Yeah...real work of art. 🙄

    I just purchased a 1988 Ford Econoline 350 motorhome and this is giving me optimism about it! I have big plans to flip the inside though it may take some time due to the condition (sat in a field for a while). Also buying it sight unseen! Thanks for the information!

    My dad gave me his 1997. 20000 miles. Everything is perfect. I'll change out door hardware and put down flooring, then solar, DC to DC charger with inverter/ charger but that's it.

    When you ready for overhead window, make a frame end to end for window support. That overhead window gets a lot of pressure. Am doing the same thing as you . Lots of luck!

      I did end up getting rid of the dual gas / electric fridge. I was torn about it after but easily could have left it. The gas supply line was in an odd spot to leave it though.
