Wonderful restoration. Loved that you left the bath as is. Thanks for the ideas. I like the covering on the stairs and the carpeting stuff on the wall. We are restoring a bounder.
As the owner of a 1973 Minnie Winnie, I am greatly impressed by your craftsmanship, ingenuity, and attention to detail. If I lived near Colorado, I would much rather give you money to work on my current rig than put something into a new coach.
Man you did an awesome job on the dodge good to see the old girl back to her glory old self keep up the great work and it goes to show her you don't need new just loved and the older rv,s just feel better
Very nice work!! I can tell you’re proud of what you’ve accomplished and you should be. I bet you learned a lot refurbishing the RV. Probably 80% of the work you did on it you’d never done before. You just went full steam ahead tackling the task, probably studying different RUclips videos, etc. along the way. That would be how I’d have done it. Awesome Work!
I wish you could restore my pot damaged memories of 1975 as well as you have restored this vehicle. I believe you have missed putting some music from Peter Frampton to fully restore 1975 in your van. Rock on Dude!
Great attention to detail. Awesome job. I think God himself is even pleased with your work. Greetings from Newark New Jersey. I can't even give enough praise to your excellent work.
Bravo! Excellent! Well Done!!! You are ... the MAN! Congraduelations to you, sir. You ROCK. Please keep up the good work. You truly know how to restore these "homes" to good use.
I'm planning to find and buy an old motor home. Been watching videos for ideas. I just discovered yours and I have to say, from what I've seen you do outstanding work. Hoping for nothing less than the best for you. You have quite a unique thing going.
i have owned 7 motorhomes and the newer ones have the damn swirls (vinyl graphics) on the exterior. I hate them and wish the manufacturers would go back to the conservative horizontal stripes and the good looks of your motorhome. It has a very classy look to it. Thanks for posting this. Your build quality and designs are first class. Well done!
Nyx Doc, you’re not telling the truth and you know it. You know you don’t love it in Iran. You’re just saying that so the mullahs don’t have you and your family arrested. Why would you say.... “We love it here in Iran”. From what I understand many (most younger and middle aged) Iranians would like to do despicable things to the mullahs, then kick their asses and then take their country back. They would then like to have a more Western style culture, being able to dress and say what they want. So don’t even try to tell us that you love it there in Iran!
So I just picked me up a 67 travco and I am in the very beginning stages of restoring the inside...I got very, very luck...First off the motor is original with only 3000 miles on it, basically the whole thing is like new except for one thing, the inside has been completely torn out, it has all new appliances and I mean all the appliances are new I just have to rebuild the inside to accompany all those appliances...I have never owned an RV and this is a huge learning curve for me but I do look forward to the challenge since this is now my permanent home...I will have a wood stove inside, essentially I will make it a beautiful home on wheels for me and my little chihuahua to live in...See you guys out on the road. Post Script...Thanks for the video, it give me some great ideas on what I should with my home.
When I was shopping for my first coach there were a couple of good choices the Travco was one the other was a 1976 Chevrolet Sierra 28 ft Class A. I chose the Chevy because it had a full size bed. But I loved it. I lived in it for 6 years and then upgraded to a 1988 36ft Gulfstream Sunstream Hi-Rise class A. I've remodeled the interior and upgraded the furnace, water and heater to a tankless on demand. But I've been living in this coach for almost 25 years now. The Travco's are excellent and that 440 Dodge engine definitely has the power to run it.
packingten - Johnny Cash’s brother was a factory service rep for Chrysler. He was 20 or so years prior to me. And that’s been decades ago. But stories were still around about him rolling up his sleeves and taking off his tie to go back in the dealership service dept to fix cars. This was on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I think his name might have been Roy. May have had something to do with Johnny liking Travco’s???
You’ve got an absolute talent! Incredible job those front seats are such a good idea! Hope you keep going with your restoration work, it would be a waste to not use your talent.
What a stunning motorhome. My father, an MD in small town Ohio, bought a new one in 1964 with 2 other Drs. and they used it like a "time share" (course at that time, the term didn't exist!). I'm going to save your video as I've considered buying one myself. Thanks - beautiful job!
Carry tools in a new coach...if you can work on it🤔😂 you are the only one ( besides me ) that has ever said you serviced the rear end. A few ( very few ) service their transmission! Love the external flaps! Miss the side vents in cars. Yes I’m old!! Most complete remolded I have seen. Great job!!
BIG THUMBS UP!!!! I couple of things that seemed to me that would have been cheap and better. Solid or glass backsplash, fried fish and wood,? The small night stand, soft close drawer guides vs sticky drawers. Easy for me to say since I was not there.
Sweet looking Travco. I regret that I've never seen one in person. I've seen pics of them, and I find them more attractive than most motorhomes of the 1970s. :)
I like it. Great job fixing it up. My dad had a 74 Travco so I recognize a lot of the inside. The frig was a 3way, roof ac, but the back was just a bed. Also did you use a splitter on the battery. My dad put in a truck battery like you did but had another battery for just the engine. The engine alternator ran to the splitter and could charge both batteries at the same time.
OMG !!! You have done such an fantastic job, surely a labor of love. How will you ever be able to put a price on all the time you have invested in this unit ?
Hey Blake, greetings from Mexico !! AWESOME job on the Travco !! A friend of mine purchased a Travco recently and asked me to look up info on the company. We are in Mexico, near the capital, any info you have regarding manuals and how things worked on a original 1975 Travco would be greatly appreciated . I need info about the black and grey water system so I can translate it for my friend. Thank you very much and great job on the restoration/ refurbishing of the Travco !
What a amazing car! Unfortunately we are too late....next year in april we continue our world trip in the usa and we are looking for a vintage rv....we are a family of 4 and need 4 beds... realy good job mate...
Very nice job but I've always thought painting walls cabinets makes everything look tacky. You make old rv interior look good with just reupholstering and new countertops and wallpaper in kitchen and baths.
brother i would invest in a fire suppresion system that zip ties to the eng i would hate to see that beauty get hurt i watch all the stuff thats gets burt at the auction pce brother live the good life
"I like what you did with the co captains chairs to benches w/table.genius versatility". Reply here and on top, LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! But the seat belt????
Blake,Nice work! I'm looking at a 1984 Winnebago Chieftain 22' . Could you offer some suggestions on renovations? I really like your work, and I would to have you restore it. I would also like to do some work on it.I live in California. Thank you
I have a 1973 AVCO, mostly original. It needs a total restoration but I lack the funds. I'm living in it in The California Delta. It's a 28footer and I'd rather have something longer with a separate bedroom. But it's home for now.
If you still own this rv? why would you make the bed a permanent twin bed situation? Those slates in front of the couches are made for a table to lay on to make that area one giant bed. I hope you plan on keeping this rig or changing the bedroom back for a couple and not Lucy and Ricky?

This country needs a lot more Blakes.
What a great restoration. Thank you for sharing your video and your travel coach with us.
What a beautiful rv! You’re very talented
Fantastic, job well done , for sure ! 1975, back when gas was about $.55-.75 cents per gallon :)
Such quality, unlike the junky plastic overpriced crap of today’s rv’s. A classy old girl, well done.
Great job son!

I can see my band traveling the country in this, pulling a 6X12 u-haul with our equipment...that would be awesome!
I like what you did with the co captains chairs to benches w/table.genius versatility
id totally love to see a how to on that alone
I would love to have one of those.. The build quality was great back then...
Great attention to detail. Awesome job. I think God himself is even pleased with your work. Greetings from Newark New Jersey. I can't even give enough praise to your excellent work.

Please keep up the good work. You truly know how to restore these "homes" to good use.
You did an incredible job on this classic beauty...well done 👍
Excellent restoration of a timeless classic RV!!
Wow what a great restoration! Thanks so much for sharing.

Absolutely stunning I love it, thank you for the video, well done enjoy bless
Wow, what a project! Fantastic result - it looks gorgeous!
Super-well done!
That’s a great job. We love it here in Iran. I wish I could buy it and bring it here.
Lots of love and respect from here in Iran to you in USA
Nyx Doc, you’re not telling the truth and you know it. You know you don’t love it in Iran. You’re just saying that so the mullahs don’t have you and your family arrested.

So don’t even try to tell us that you love it there in Iran!
Nyx Doc, it’s interesting that the “Up Next” videos include one about the Shah of Iran...lol!
Marty Lucas I think what Nyx Doc meant was: "We love (The Travco), here in Iran."

Did you finish the restitution of your RV
Wow ! I’m impressed with the entire motor home ! You done a outstanding job on it !

That is absolutely gorgeous. Nice work.
That is so awesome! You have done well with the Travco!
Superb job! Everything looks awesome. You have a good eye for coordinating decor!
Excellent job ! That should sell easily to the right RVer.
Johnny Cash LOVED THESE..
We loved Johny Cash. TY for that piece of JC facts. Very cool

Terrific job, lots of nicely done details.

A very nice motor home!!!!! Have a lot of fun with it!!!! Greetings from germany 👍👍👍👍👍

This one is already spoken for but my next build is a 67 270 with a cummins 12 valve diesel.
Blake Law I like your work, Blake, where are you located?
I'm interested in the 67
Amazing job!! Super vehicle.
Looks great , very inspiring from Ontario Canada
Congrats Man. You did a awesome job and keep RV history.
Excellent workmanship. That's hard to find in these times.
Carry tools in a new coach...if you can work on it🤔😂 you are the only one ( besides me ) that has ever said you serviced the rear end. A few ( very few ) service their transmission! Love the external flaps! Miss the side vents in cars. Yes I’m old!! Most complete remolded I have seen. Great job!!
Awfully nice job Blake. I am inspired and envious of your skills.
amazing ….Good job blake !!!sublime
Sharp Motorhome.
you did a great job compliments
BIG THUMBS UP!!!! I couple of things that seemed to me that would have been cheap and better. Solid or glass backsplash, fried fish and wood,? The small night stand, soft close drawer guides vs sticky drawers. Easy for me to say since I was not there.
Did a good job on that rig.
Sweet looking Travco. I regret that I've never seen one in person. I've seen pics of them, and I find them more attractive than most motorhomes of the 1970s. :)
Wow, beautiful work
Great work. Really impressed with the RV.
Attention: A superb job done with a lotta TLC!
Dude, incredible. You are smart and you work hard. Very nice!
"WOW".... BEAUTIFUL
Awesome job thanks for sharing
Excellent job.
Very nice restoration
Beautiful Job.
if was a beautifull motorhome and you made it better
Excellent job. How do you handle the mechanical and electrical repairs and updates? I would like to build a Travco 22', but 4x4 with a cummings.
Excellent job. You thought of everything
When this rv is done right it competes with the Bowlus rv (that is based on a 1930s chrome deco design) for a smart design that could be remade today.
Nice! Great work. Greetings from Poland.
Great job on the restoration!
Nicely done!
I like it. Great job fixing it up. My dad had a 74 Travco so I recognize a lot of the inside. The frig was a 3way, roof ac, but the back was just a bed. Also did you use a splitter on the battery.

Great job and perfect
Very nice job but I've always thought painting walls cabinets makes everything look tacky. You make old rv interior look good with just reupholstering and new countertops and wallpaper in kitchen and baths.
absolutely gorgeous!
Awesome! Nice job Blake!
wow what an awesome job
Great job.

"I like what you did with the co captains chairs to benches w/table.genius versatility".
Reply here and on top, LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! But the seat belt????
Do you restore these for a living or just for fun ?
Nice job.
VERY nice job!!!
great job and video!
Blake,Nice work!
I'm looking at a 1984 Winnebago Chieftain 22' . Could you offer some suggestions on renovations? I really like your work, and I would to have you restore it. I would also like to do some work on it.I live in California. Thank you
I have a 1973 AVCO, mostly original. It needs a total restoration but I lack the funds. I'm living in it in The California Delta. It's a 28footer and I'd rather have something longer with a separate bedroom. But it's home for now.
If you still own this rv? why would you make the bed a permanent twin bed situation? Those slates in front of the couches are made for a table to lay on to make that area one giant bed.
I hope you plan on keeping this rig or changing the bedroom back for a couple and not Lucy and Ricky?
Made in Michigan 67 The nerve of you 🤦🏽♀️🙅🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️.
You have certainly put a ton of work into this project.
Do you have any idea how many hours you have in it?
Amazing Job!!!!!!
Bravo and well done
Wow...this is nice...
What was the total cost of the build? I have a choice to either demo/rebuild 1 room in a barndo or remodel a,travco.
