  • In this video Duke gives us a tour of his 1989 Fleetwood RV Class C motor home on the Chevy chassis. Duke and his buddy purchased this in preparation for an epic road trip across America. In this tour he gives us an in depth look into where all the systems are and how they work. Duke will be selling this camper and will post a link in the comments.

    Hello PATRICK! Thank you for filming and showing DUKE's tour of his and his friend's 1989 motor home which they so skillfully transformed into a young and vibrant tiny home. My favorite thing in the video is Duke's pride in the finished home. It is not often that you see a person, born after 1999, who could be so in love with a vintage vehicle that they would be able to see its possibilities, much less find two young men willing to work their butts off to figure out all of its systems, rebuild almost every inch of it, and develop the skills and use them to transform her into something they trusted enough to take an extended and fun trip in her, a🤩nd not only that, to be willing to see her, and take on the daunting task of transforming yet another vintage rusted old motor home. He and his buddy should be proud of all they have accomplished. 🤩

    Wonderful job! Having owned an older RV, my fear for so many purchasing vintage vehicles is for the undetected mechanical and safety issues that could arise, especially when far away from services. We bought a beautiful 33 foot class A. it was very comfortable. I always felt it would be great to live in. However, it had been in an accident the previous owner failed to tell us about. The windshield and wipers were from some other brand of RV altogether and leaked. The electric stairs worked only when they wanted to. We went on a couple of trial overnight trips to discover the water heater and refrigerator also had issues. Our first real trip out both sets of brakes failed on our way into the mountains. We we lucky we were going up and not down. No matter what I did, the RV would not come to a complete stop. Lucky for us the terrain leveled out at one point and we coasted to a stop. It took a full day of being by the side of the road for a tow truck to come take us back home at a cost of $975, then more than a thousand to remove the engine so they could redo both sets of brakes. If we were going down hill, I wouldn't be alive to write this. I spend thousands repairing other things that should have been operational before I decided the thing was a death trap and sold it. Always get your vehicle checked by a reputable mechanic before buying unless you are very savvy and mechanical yourself.

    Yes ! Those old motorhomes are nice. I like the small ones- I've got an '84 Nissan 20-footer. The little 4-cylinder takes a while to get it up to highway speed, but the mileage [16-18] makes it so affordable to travel. I do wish I had the headroom the Chevy Fleetwood has and that big shower area is amazing. I have left the old wood doors and paneling unpainted- it just feels right.

    Great walk thru and sales job. Your'e hired.
    Just a FYI with those old units. I had one burn up one summer day off grid with the generator running the roof air conditioner. That old wood box gets really dried out and fragile. The area around the exhaust pipe got just hot enough to eventually catch itself on fire after about 1/2 hour. By the time you notice it it is already in the wall and 5 minutes later the whole vehicle is melted and burned back to front. The flame & heat gets inside and cabin wall/ floor temperature suddenly gets to 1,000 degrees as it burns forward. Some good high temp automotive exhaust insulation around those pipes probably would have prevented it.
