      These big RVs were ahead of their time. The rear suspension is a killer way to have dual wheels while keeping you from dealing with that inside wheel’s tire pressure hassles. Great idea fixing one back up. Happy camping.

    You and your Dad have done a great job fixing and updating the various systems on the RV. I would have done the same thing with the Bathroom/shower/toilet assembly. The quality, engineering. and craftmanship of the GMC motorhome you have easily exceeds any brand new RV out there.

    This project is coming along nicely. Consider wrapping those wood arm rest tops and the surround for the gauge cluster in leather. It will make it look high end without spending a lot of money. Cover the underside in a basic black fabric, 77 spray is your friend!

    @richardcreel6282 6 месяцев назад +27

    A bit late, but if you don’t absolutely need that space between the bathroom and the door, tear out the left wall of the bathroom and install an appropriate sized shower stall. You will be real happy not having the kids having to use a wet head. Most important spaces in rv are bathroom, kitchen, sleeping, living.

    And the end result for the bathroom is amazing! Can’t wait to see how the kitchen area turns out.
    As far as the driving area. I wouldn’t do shag, as much as it would look retro, it would be very hard to keep it looking good. Not sure, what would work, maybe laminate floating flooring?

    Looking great, very impressed with the ideas for updating the bathroom and driving area. I have a suggestion on the bathroom, the tap and sink drain flange could use some plumbers putty to stop protentional leaks. Also seeing the shower drain with so much silicone on it make me think there is a leak or was a leak that could leak again and since you have done so much maybe take a look and make sure it is good. Can't wait to see what you do next.

    Michael, I've said it before, this is one of your best series yet. The Porsche was the best, in my opinion, and this is number two. Good stuff. Hey, a suggestion, if you don't mind: in your bathroom cabinet, I noticed some rusty discoloration. Something that may work in getting that out is muriatic acid - yeah, acid. It won't harm the fiber glass and a little bit on an old rag should do it. give it a try. It works. Wear gloves though!

But I've got to honestly say I enjoy this just as much. You two don't even realize how much your teaching people that with some elbow grease and patience anything can be done. I truly envy you and your dad's relationship that you all can do this stuff together. I've never had anything like that. I'm not a religious person but the only word I can come up with is that y'all are blessed.
