First drive in our $1250 RV back on the road after years parked?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Well we are back with our $1250 31 year old neglected motorhome. Its a 91 Ford E350 Winnebago Itasca with a fuel injected 460 big block and overdrive E4OD transmission. It has been sitting for several years and we recently did a bunch of repairs to the roof, generator, air conditioning, and interior in some of our recent videos. This time we are going to be doing all of the mechanical work it needs to get ready for a big cross country trip we are planning on taking soon. We try to fix the brakes that have major problems, do a complete tune up and oil change, and install some new stuff that it really needs. Hope you like it.

To be honest I could watch you guys do anything your so down to earth and genuinely funny
Thank you I appreciate it
The best Family on youtube..you spend time together that is what all families should do with great values...
Thank you
You guys are putting out such great entertaining content. Can't wait to see the road trip in this old beast. P.S. You could use that dipstick to measure the kids' yearly growth by marking it accordingly...
Thank you
Great feedback bless you
high pressure clean the undercarriage and spray some linseed oil on warm it up or dilute it with kerosene I have used it for many years it works really well. I treat my own car with it twice a year, it slows the rust down for a long time in developing
Loved seeing it all done inside and the mechanical issues and PMs done. Finally somebody that say Vienna for the sausages the same way I do. Lol
So glad when your bought the correct socket for tightening the rear hub, mark of a true professional. Both my wife and I watch your channel, its so good to see a happy family enjoying life together, which is getting less common nowadays and that's why I subscribed. Reminds us of ourselves years ago, you will all come to cherish these moments, enjoying life together.
Oh, and the motor home looks great.
Thank you, I am blessed
Look into a 3 way camera setup for it. You turn on the turn signals and you can see what’s beside you. Super helpful
Yes 👍
@@Sleeperdude when money dictates add some leaves to spring packs. Looks sketchy.
Love it, Ol’Fords never die. Looking forward to watching your vacation travels. Thanks for allowing me to go along with you!!
Thanks for watching
Gonna make the GRISWALDS LOOK LIKE AMATEURS ON THEIR TRIP TO WALLY WORLD

Big block and I enjoy your teaching Ralphie how to drive, he will be a professional driver by the time he gets his license. Awesome stuff.
Thank you
Great job as always Sleeperdude! I'm sure your family road trip will be a blast ! The camper looks great and all your hard work was well worth the effort .
Thank you
Every time he and his wife take the kids on a camping trip in that their children will have everlasting memories. I know I have from my mother and father.
@@Sleeperdude 1975 was 3rd gen of new design and lasted til 1991. Auto parts manager ordered new one in 75 E 350 seriea
Club wagon with 460 had first one in area
Awesome job guys . We’ve had 3 motor home, started with a 25’ gas 30’ diesel with one slide last was 40’ with All the slides. Started young like y’all it’s the best time cause your young enough to have loads of fun with the kids . The older you get the more it turns it to work . Great family project and making lots of great memories! They really are a lot of fun!!
Thank you so much
The RV's have been the best videos.... love adding the family...
Thanks so much
The beginning montage is definately a keeper
Thank you
Loving the multiple episodes yall make me laugh we need that these days Josh
Thank you .. glad you enjoyed them
Hahaha I love the intros!!!!! The fact you just trust the fam to do their thing is really cool to see. Your the dream Dad every family would wish to have haha
I’m glad you liked it, I am blessed
You guys got an amazing amount of work done on that camper. We are hoping the front casings hold up seeing those cracks in between the tread and my wife keeps asking me if you changed the wiper blades, wonder where she comes up with line of questioning 😉. The camper content has us rolling on the floor. Good luck and hope you and family have a safe wonderful camping trip👍
Thank you so much
Poor Vannia! Never seen Rocky go after the pig like that! Just look at the smiles on your children’s faced with this motor home; it will bring you all memories that will last a lifetime. You s see re a lucky man.
Thank you
Sure looks comfortable to camp in. Great work and keep the videos coming. You have a great family. God bless.
Thank you
Your the perfect example of how hard work pays off. Awesome! Have a great trip. God Bless
Thank you I appreciate it
Maybe take it on a mini trip, say a hundred miles or so just to make sure everything is running okay. Great job Josh and as Jay Grams from the Volo Auto museum would say...”it’s
almost as quiet as a mouse in slippers”! Keep safe guys,from Mississauga Ontario Canada.
My thoughts exactly
The biggest vehicle in your fleet looks like it was the easiest to work on the brakes - crazy! This has been an enjoyable series from the day you picked it up till now. Great work Team Sleeperdude.
Yes your right thank you
Love this content!
You all never fail to make us 😃 😃😊.
Have a good weekends.
Thank you . Hope you have a good weekend as well
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST KEEP DELIVERING. ONE HIT VIDEO AFTER ANOTHER. YOU GUYS ARE THE ABSOLUTE FUNNEST AND MOST EXCITING FAMILY THIER EVER WAS AND STILL ARE ROCKING IT AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GO ON YOUR TRIP WITH YOU ALL. LOVEEEEEEE YOUUUU ALLLLLLLLL YOUR ALL SO VERY IMPORTANT IN EACH AND EVERY ROLE YOU PERFORM ..... EXELLENT JOB. SO MUCH LOVE........
Thank you
Nice pre trip inspection and repairs. Always want to make sure everything is safe for your road trip. Wouldn't want to see anything bad happen to you or your family because of equipment failure while on the road. Your repair skills are excellent. Keep the videos coming and good luck to you and your family.
Thank you
Looking forward to your cross-country trip, it will be a vicarious thrill for this old dog !
Awesome I’m glad
Love love the way the Rv is looking and thanks for the videos on the up dates and all the work that everyone has put into and more to come 👍 amazing
Thank you
Your welcome 👍
Really awesome job fixing that RV up and no hint of any major mechanical problems. It just shows you if you spend enough time getting it ready for the road it will take care of you mile after mile. Here's to making a lot of great memories with the whole family. Another great video.
Thank you I hope so
Love the videos keep up the good work God bless
Thank you
Ralphie Rules! He should have his own RUclips channel. Even though he's only 10, he's the coolest thing south of the Mason Dixlon line. Also, give his a raise.
He’s a hoot for sure
Great job on the rear brakes...only needed new cylinders. Spark plugs are always fun...you bring out the mini extension- multiple adapters, swivels 1/4 to 3/8 rackets....you end up using 28 different tools for what should be a three tool set-up..socket-extension-ratchet. On one car's starter...and had to used like 4 or 5 extensions to go out almost 3 feet to take out a bolt..no clearance.
Ok thank you
from indonesia southeast asia watching ur 1250 campervan series, cant stop... nice vid wth a lot of hardwork. u are like macggyver, u can do everything. salute
Thank you
If you take the hoses off that breather thing you taped up, you'll find there are 2 horn shaped velocity tubes. If you cut those horns off, she'll get much better air flow volume. We actually drilled some big holes in the bottom of the air filter tub on our F250. We got waaaaay better air flow through her. A bit ghetto, but it works.😂😂
Ok great thank you
Love the camper refurb video. Especially something that you can throw the family in and take a vacation in after its done.Love the vids. Keep em coming'! Casings?!?! My goodness!!
Thank you
LOVE the content! Congrats and many happy miles!😃
Thank you
I just love you include your family! In everything! I
Thank you
Also replace the steering stabilizer shock that helps from getting front end wobble on these , but also they are very known for binding up when the get old and they can jam the steering up on a hard turns .
Ok good to know
death wobble
Hey sleeperdude. The camper is looking great. Make it better. Keep on going. God bless
Thank you
I thinking you got it in good shape. Yes good call on the new casings for the rear and over sized too that is excellent. Seems like it ready to go I hope you all have fun you guys did a good job on clean up and refurbing. I am guessing the roof will not leak? Some new gasoline no alcohol regular will make it run better you gotta burn that old dead gas out of it so you can get some real BTUs. Get and extra gas filter for it for the trip just in case it gets full of more rust and dirt. Probably will. It may already be clogged with rust that may be a problem. get lots of extra gas filters to be safe. It will be fun where are you going ? Yellow stone, Mount Rushmore, Its probably a lot cooler there. Oil the air conditioner fan motor on the AC on the roof. It looked like it needed it when it was stuck.
Ok good info thanks
Im watching this from a motorhome in Scotland we've been here a month and have to go home next week . I haven't learnt anything but hell hes entertaining. As for waiting till your old to go rv sell the kids and go while your still fit enough to enjoy it
That’s hilarious!!! Thank you
That was totally me as a 10 year old but my parents for sure wouldn't have let me drive that into the garage! LOL, great job.
Thank you
Great to see the RV on the road, For the delamination problem, get yourself a six pack of large syringes, and a pint of polyester resin, drill holes at the top of each bubble, [big enough for the nozzle of the syringe] mix up some resin and hardener, suck it up with the syringe, and inject into the holes you drill above the delaminated sections, while pushing against the skin [delaminated skin] to spread the resin around.
Then take some two by fours and prop them against the skin to push the sections together, leave for three hours, and it should fix the delamination problems, repeat procedure on all problem areas.
P.S. you will need one syringe for each area treated, as each syringe will become useless after thge resin hardens.
Hope this helps, Wishing you and the family a spectacular time Camping.
Al
Ok good idea thanks
Loved your little joke with Ralphie about diesel motors and spark plugs! Good one! Nice videos 👍
Thank you
Greetings from Canada Ontario. Another great video with the family 😁👍🏻 Time for your vacation have a great time After all your good hard work
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude yw
Love the content, love the rv, love the family, love your guy's outings, love your project cars....you can't disappoint 🙂
Thank you
Can't wait to see this to the end of the building.
Yes
Kudos to you for repurposing that RV. Nice project and love the style of the videos and your family is amazing!
Thank you
Well that's just made my Friday night, awesome stuff as always. Thank you for keeping us entertained, who needs a TV anyway?!! 😁😁😎😎
Thanks for watching
I can't wait for your next video my family loves to see your whole family including all your animals and especially rocky. He is like a big dog that is so curious about everything.
Yes he is like a dog your right
Hope you do a video on your trip and how it does. You might want to make a door for the generator. People are know to steal them. What they can’t see is good. Looks like your about for a trip. You guys did great. And your beautiful wife worked hard as anyone. Thank you for sharing!
Ok great thank you
When using an ultrasonic cleaner, always remember to take gravity into account. For eample, when cleaning a float bowl, put it in upside down. Otherwise, the sirt suspended in the cleaner will settle on the freshly cleaned area. Also, I found that to fully clean a carburetor, once the ultrasonic cleaning is done, spray the parts down with brake cleaner to remove any residue especially when cleaning jets and emulsion tubes.
Ok cool thanks
@@Sleeperdude GET IT RALPHIE...GET IT!!!!!!!!!
NOW THAT'S AMERICA RIGHT THERE!!!
REMEMBER JOSH...THE EXCITEMENT OF YOUR FIRST DRIVE!!!
@@oldfashionedbaptistChurch Please clarify your question. It sounds as though you are talking about a powdered cleanser. 🤔
@@oldfashionedbaptistChurch comet?
@@oldfashionedbaptistChurch It wouldn't accept your comment or the video wouldn't load and play? If it is the latter, it seems to be a common issue which I, too, have experienced. To get the video to load and play, try clearing your browser cache. That works for me even though it is a pain in the butt.
Dude it's so crazy....In the last video I told myself dang, they probably already put 2 months of work into this restore. 18 Days, boy that's crazy!
Once again that was a lot of work and money for an old motor home but it sure sounds great at this point. Yes you still have a few things to button up before the long road trip. I hope your road trip turns out to be fantastic and full of fun and adventure of a good kind. Thanks for the videos. Dads comment about the Griswolds was perfect. Hope you all have a great and safe time.
Thank you
Rocky has such great character i especially love your videos Sleeperdude
Looking forward to see where you go on your first camping adventure!! Love seeing all your family working on the motor home!!
Thank you
You are a lucky man, you have a beautiful family and they engage in your endeavors. Your younger daughter is a worker!
Thank you I am blessed
Thank you Josh and the rest of the family,don't you ever stop making this kind of youtube ! 🥰🙏
Greetings from Holland
Awesome thank you
@@Sleeperdude watch your rear overhang entering exiting parking lots. Rear overhang will scrape on pavement or concrete
Man oh man is this going to be FUN!!!! We get to go on vacation with your whole family!!! That motor home is NICE!!!!!! This video's favorite part...A New Saying: So tight a Silver Back Gorilla has to loosen it. What a Great Show!!! Where are we going anyhow??
Thank you
Perfect friday evening! A diet coke, a can of vyeeenias, and a new sleeperdude vid! Ralphie reminds me so much of my son lol. Loving the RV resto. Happy friday!
Thank you
What I love the most is that this is a full family affair. Great job at bringing your kids into this as well!
Thank you
WE LOVE THESE VIDEOS ,,, WE LOVE THIS FAMILY ....
Thank you so much
Nice to see y’all Josh & family. Hope y’all come next time to California. We visit a beautiful RV park all the time right on the ocean along the Pacific Coast.
That would be awesome
Excellent as usual...here's an idea for your bubbles on the side...make a few small slits...shoot some adhesive in behind em, use a plastic scraper to push it down...just a thought!
Looking forward to the Sleeperdude Family Vacation!
Yeah that might work
Thank you so much guys! Watching you bring this old forgotten motor home back to life was a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing the road trip. 😁
Thank you that’s coming soon
I hope u and your family have a grate time on your vacation. have a safe tripe there and back all the beast to u all.
Thank you
I really enjoyed the motor home video, it's a nice change of pace!
Thank you
Good content, your family's fantastic! Looking forward to your summer trip.
Thank you coming soon
You definitely remind me of the movie "RV" . You guys did a nice job on your motor home. Anything you do is entertaining.
Yes
Great vid as usual,had a question re: floor jack on gravel......how does that work for you,I have one and try to jack my car up ,well you know how they operate,always afraid of dropping the car,any advice? Keep up the great work and have a safe trip🤩
Thank you
Totally enjoyed this video and that amazing family and animals!!!
Thank you
To get to the spark plugs on a big block you Jack it up and take off the front wheels and use loong extensions to reach the plugs. It's the easiest way to change them, BTDT !
Thank you
Looks very solid. Change the front shocks it will ride way smoother 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
Ok thank you
Hey guys good to see y'all again hope y'all are doing great tell every body good luck see you in the next one
Thank you so much
I really enjoy watching your channel always a joy to see such a nice family get along so well with each other keep up the great work

I hope so thank you
It looks like you got yourself a winner she cruises down the road perfect can’t wait to see where you take her on vacation great job I do believe you got your moneys worth God bless you all
Thank you
You got 250.000 miles left to go on that motor!!!!! I had a 1969 dodge coronet 500 and when it needed parts replaced I had too take the old part in and compare it to the new one .So I got the right part the first time.....
I hope you are right
Awesome video...I've been waiting to see what the RV looks like since you got it , cleaned it up and did some interior renovating! It looks and sounds great! Will be anticipating your video's of how well she does on your road trips!!!!
Thank you
Enjoy watching from Philippines

Thank you
Ya'll are gonna love this thing! Hope ya'll enjoy your vacation!
Thank you I hope so
Josh,
Please make sure you have good casings all the way arround for safety. Blowouts are very dangerous. We were on the road 11 years in a 40 foot motorhome. Always check the tire pressure every day before hitting the road. Good luck on your trip.
Yes for sure
We also check after the first gas stop when the tires are hot. Then every other or so. Fluids too.
Camper is coming along great! Should be a fun summer vacation for y’all and for us who get to enjoy the content! My favorite RUclips fam💕
Thank you
These videos are really keeping me on the edge of my seat. I’m ready to find out what happens on the trip, with your social media post lol
Yes coming soon
The beginning of the videos are great, the one liners are hilarious. This video had me laughing all the way through it. I like the way you edited this one, had a great flow to it. The RV is awesome and the Famiky is great too. I really look forward to seeing a new video os done and ready to watch. Keep up the great quality and don't rush em out, don't change a thing. Thank you for the entertainment, God bless
Thank you I really appreciate it
@@SleeperdudeU gotta be a spokesperson for some products like JIM VARNEY but better
Really enjoyed watching the transformation! We were just given my dads Minnie Winnie 2019 Winnebago travel trailer , we pick it up in September! It’s barely used and practically new , but we will be first time RV owners - have so much to learn . But you’ve really given me lots of info of what to check regularly , what can be an issue and maintenance info. Be using ours a lot for Boy Scout events , my grandson , 11 and husband very active in BSA , so this is perfect for me to participate glamming style!
What an incredible amount of work in such a short time! I'm loving this content as it is all so relatable. My good friend bought an '84 Chevy RV and went through many of the same issues, especially the wood rot. This required pulling out most of the interior of the coach early last year. Months of work were put into it. By fall, we were determined to drive it from IL to the big Fall Carlisle swap meet in PA. The RV was gone through and mechanically done, but was still missing most of the cabinets and the bathroom was non-existent. We were pretty anxious about the trip. Besides losing an alternator belt and some exhaust bolts, it ran fine and we had the best time. Can't wait to hear about your trip and see more content! Your family is just the best.
Thank you, what a great story. Our trip video is coming soon
That beast will last forever.
Awesome thank you
You guys deserve a great family vacation can't wait to see you guys on vacation video 📸📸
Thank you coming soon
Good job to one and all.
Thank you
On the side walls there is a four digit number in an ovel.
First two numbers are the number of weeks and the second two numbers are the year the tire was made.
They say not to run steer tires over 7 years old.
Looks great 👍👍
Ok good idea
Check the backs too, if you lose the tread, it will tear out the plastic wheel well to the interior. Also note the location of the propane tank and tire.
Love it! That E series body style was '75 - '91. We had a beautiful new '77 E`150 Chateau shorty, my first luxury vehicle!
Awesome
Loved every minute of your newest adventure.You need to do something about that desalination on the side or it will come apart on your camping trip.I hope you and family have a great time on the trip whereever you're going.You all are the best of the best!
Thank you
I have the same concern with delamination. Do you think spraying contact cement through some slits would work, or does he need liquid nails. Do you think the access holes can be disguised with gunshot decals?
@@rt3box6tx74 should be able to separate at the seams to get to it and use a good spray adhesive.
@@neildawson8576 Aww dang, I was hoping for bullet hole decals. I love those thangs. 😆
Really enjoyed watching you refurb a camper. Please do more ones like this! Not that I dislike your other content but this was neat, and different. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you
Great content. Love the camper and so glad it runs well. You guys have worked hard on it.
Thank you
That's gonna be so much fun. You'll need one of those RV type bumper stickers (ie- RV there yet). 🐂🐎😺🤠
Exactly
You guys are a great family. Keep the videos coming. Cheers from Canada!
Thank you
Very enjoyable, AND informative. Thank you.
Thank you
