    I feel so at home and nostalgic looking at this motorhome 🥰 I could be so happy in this thing...
    I wanna go home...back to the 70s...and get out of this crappy, mean, cold world. I'm gonna save this video so I can sort of go home and make me feel better...lucky you...🥺🥴🥰

    Robin Nino was the originator and owner of Robinhood Motorhomes. He was a really great man, way ahead of his time back in 1972 when he was starting his company, in Redondo Beach CA as I recall.
    We were an RV dealer in Eugene OR and sold Apollo Class A's, and Robinhood as a mini motorhome line, Class C in more recent decades. WTG

    Hello from western New York, I've been looking for something similar, and I wanted to say I lived in the same region years ago and God I miss that part of the country and the people. I miss people like yourself who have common sense and that are genuine. God bless you and I want to see your dream come true with this gem, all my best to you.

    Looks to be 24 - 25 ft long, not 22 ft. What a beauty! Really good find and I'm happy its getting a new life. These were quality builds in the day.
    The water damage on ceiling - no such thing as a 'little bit of damage'. The wood is rotted out. If you can see it from below, the damage is extensive. Roof needs peeling back, new wood, new top. Hope that was fixed before you sold it.
    AC will need a 30 amp outlet. It will not run on your home AC 110V power which is typically 15 amps. It will run on its own generator.
    Love that in house vacuum, wow! Wish you had shown more. Great price! Loved the tour, thank you!

    Nice! I have a 77 Tioga that I bought 3 months ago for 2,000. It's in pretty great shape, Most everything works and it drives well with semi-new tires. I know nothing about it since it's much older than I am, but I'd appreciate if you could talk more about the 440 engine and how to time or make adjustments to the carb I'd appreciate it! Thanks! 😁

    To fis the issue with the tires, get yourself a set of 17" of a 2007 i think dodge dually and send the wheels to the machine shop to get them bore out. My girl and I just got one 73 superior a tank on wheels

  • @79tazman
    @79tazman 2 года назад +1

    So you sold the thing already? I was going to say you should clean the fuel tank real good because the old fuel and all the nasty residue in the tank will gum up the valves on the engine. That is the issue with many of these old RV's they sit most of the time and the tanks get nasty the fuel will gum up the carb and that valves and people will wonder why they run like trash and that is the reason and a fuel filter does not help you gotta clean the tank
