- Ep#1 I bought a HUGE 5th wheel RV at a local auction for a good deal. I've never worked on an RV before and I may have made a $12,000 mistake !
In this episode we start repairing the RV by replacing the bedroom slide-out floor and tearing out all the fixtures and decor that need repaired or replaced.

As someone who suffered through our family owning a new Class C motorhome for about 15 years, the two best days of owning something like this is the day you buy it and the day you sell it. They're all built with the structural rigidity of a balsa wood airplane from the dollar store and they're about as well sealed from water as a plain sponge. The engineering that goes into these shouldn't be called engineering - it's more like the best work they could muster from high school kids in a drafting class that aren't qualified to design the kitchen cabinets they were working on - and someone converted those plans to put wheels on it.
Made me chucke looool
Cheers to that !!!!
As my buddy says that lives in Oregon by one of the factories, most workers look like they didn't get past 8th grade. They also run sohard to slam them out that the quality sucks..
@@jimg2885 They have to make a bunch, otherwise there would be none sitting on lots across the US for years, unbought.
@@Remaggib they don't need to slam them out so the quality is the shits. I have watched factory videos and I am a retired general contractor and if my employees would cut material like those guys do I would have fired them..
Love how there was an outside camera conveniently placed and framed up for when he fell through the floor. :)
I bet a lot still think it just randomly happened lol :)
He's a content creator... It's his job to make things interesting for us. I appreciate effort into these type shots. Just enjoy the show don't pick it apart.
@@reds1325 This is a comment section and were just commenting about the video. Stop telling people what they can't comment about. Have a great night.
@@Neilukuk wohh u got rage issues bro. I was just saying enjoy the show. Lots of stuff you see on tv is fake but we just enjoy it. Think of yt like cable. People spend tons of time editing and creating these... If u ever post a video u would know how much work and how hard it is to put together something good. Probably spent at least 6-8 hrs editing alone.
@@reds1325 I don't like fake programs. Maybe you do and that's ok. No one said that they aren't not enjoying it?. We are commenting about the video we watched and that's what people do you know? Stop being buthurt and go cry somewhere else. Have a nice day and take care.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this episode! It’s crazy to think that this RV was built only 10 years ago and needs so much work ! Just imagine the damages on a rig that was 40+ years old 💀 like mine ! Its a labor of love as you’ll come to find out . Welcome to the RUclips RV community Jason !
Thank you for the warm welcome and your generous compliment !
As I’ve been working on the RV I’ve been so surprised by its construction. I originally thought the slide out floors were damaged because of the way the underside is designed. However I found the moisture was coming from the roof of the slide outs coming down to the floor. Making sure the RV is totally level front to back and side to side is paramount as it helps the water run off correctly …. Maintenance is key as well.
@@rebuildrescue Anytime man ! The RV community is a small one on RUclips but filled with a lot of kind people! Vanlife and Buslife still have the spotlight 😂 . Keep on wrenching on that rig , ready for Ep #2 !
it's pretty sad isn't it! I've seen trailers 30-50 years old in better shape than the ones less than 20 years old
I have a 2018 Cedar creek that already needs a slide floor replacement.
Invest in a quality, commercial grade, vinyl trucking tarp to put over it while it's parked to protect it from water as well as sun damage.
Coming from the UK, where we really don't have the roads for something like this...
I am amazed to see that the structure is mainly from OSB.
Nice and shiney on the outside. Bag of shite elsewhere...
Yeah, sounds like America as a whole. Shiny from the outside, shite on the inside. And that's coming from an American.
What do expect most homes are still built with match sticks and paper walls with plastic for pipes lol
@@wizard3z868 All of the class C's I looked at, regardless of manufacturer, looked almost the same inside, even the very same floor. No imagination, or innovation, at all.
I know. Screw OSB. Concrete is the way to go.
Great buy. But just a small amount of work.(smile)
Do not use OSB to replace the floor. Use plywood for the subfloor and possibly steel bracing for support.
Wow awesome video Jason.
I’ve been doing the 5th wheel thing since 2000. Lots of damage on that Brookstone. Just need to fix her up. It can be a lot of fun being able to bring your own bed with.
Subscribed because of your airplane videos. Now watching your RV videos. I own a short and lightweight fifth wheel. We take it to the beach (full hookups) for weeks at a time - that's the best vacation ever. We take our cats too.
“I found some major issues…” *Leg comes through floor*
🤣🤣🤣
Hi- this is such a wonderful project!!
I really want that Austin. It really reminds me of my dad's Sprite from years ago, before I could drive.
What I like about RV's and Motor Homes is you actually own it and no one can take it from you. Like quarterly extortion (Taxes) Payments to keep living in the Home you thought was yours. They may be cheap and flimsy, but its yours! You got an awesome deal! I owned a 20' 1958 duel axle that was about to be stripped and scrapped, and the guy let me have for the $300 I had in my pocket. The only thing wrong with it was no hot water in the kitchen. I lived in it for 3 yrs, and I loved it!
I have come up from tent camping in college, to a pop-up camper and last year my family purchased a 5th wheel. We enjoy going to state parks, and also volunteer and historical/antique steam engine shows. It's so nice to spend the day outside, doing whatever and being able to come in, shower, eat a meal and sleep without bugs. Our pop-up was great, even with two dogs until we had kids, so our early spring or late fall camping was cut short due to colder weather (We're in MN) Now, we were camping into late october, and can be assured our early May trip will be just fine with our heat. Also - Not having to walk to the camp bathroom at 2am because you had that extra adult beverage is certainly a bonus! Nice and quiet with all hardsides, and plenty of space for my wife and I, plus two kids. The outdoor bar and Blackstone grill don't hurt :) -- Fixed up, you've got a heck of a deal there, especially closing in on 40' and 4 slides. It may not have all the tech features of a new model, but that's less to go wrong. (I will admit, I love our auto-level feature tho) I can touch a button and tend to the kids, other setup (cold beer) etc.
This video just randomly popped up and I had to watch it. Mid 2021 when you put this video up I was helping someone renovate one of these, they're the worst built pos I've ever seen 🤣🤣 that vynal roof is mind blowing and most of the ends of the roof trusses were rotten because the drip gutter screws leaked water in. Also the slid out floors were rotten. OMFG what an absolute nightmare 😖😖
Nice shop talk ,, Ive really enjoyed watching other people do a job the correct way .
Keep rolling along ..
For support on the tipouts, use cinder blocks and a jackstand at each outer corner for support while reflooring each one!
I travel in my Chevy dually with a Arctic Fox 990 in-bed camper with a slide-out, to Bonneville Salt Flats every year to spectate SpeedWeek. I love seeing the rural areas in my rv and stop when and where I can and enjoy the camping life.
I feel bad for whoever paid full price for that wheeled disaster.
He paid big money and apparently never checked out…..rotten slide…can u say mold….sorry dude!!
If they maintained it it would be perfect
Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming
I used to do camping every year. An RV is heated, air conditioned, you got a stove, bathroom, shower, it's just civilized. I put solar panels on it and want to do some completely off grid camping sometime. But my kids are older now so we don't really get the opportunity to use it as much.
Nice project! I enjoy of watching rebuild content. I bought two years ago a used motor-home and I've been fixing it along the way. I totally amazed how low-quality materials they use in US to build those RVs. My Concorde, an European brand, has sandwich walls and floors. Two layers of aluminum sheets and an 2½ inch PU foam insulation in between. I suggest you to use some composite material to replace those slide-out floors. Something that does not absorb moisture.
I honest almost identical RV same floor plan cabinets almost exactly the same it's a 2009 model and I'm paid $19,000 for it in move-in condition. It only cost $65,000 new in 2009. I know who owned it and they know what they paid for it.
As someone from the UK who's never seen an old 5th wheel camper, its so weird not seeing one of these decked out with granite and mansion type fittings, all plush carpet. This looks awesome to be able to deck it out exactly as you want
We have a 2017 Diesel Pusher class A that we used to cross country from Southern California to the East Coast several times with my wife and young son and 3 large dogs. We visited 44 of the 48 states all in the comfort of our rolling home without having to be cramped in a car of suffering the indignity of airline travel. It is the sort freedom second only to sailing....But with 3 large dogs, a sailboat is not an option anymore for us...many old sailors go RVing...
Stumbled on your channel the other day. Glad I did. I can’t do stuff like this but would love to. So I can at least watch you do it
🤣😂🤣😂 I am drinking and I got way too much of a laugh at @0.04. I spent about $300 just to do a stupidly small section of floor in a mobile home.
As for the part where your foot through, I would never in a thousand years use particle board for anything that I would put an average amount of weight on. That's just stupid on top of stupid.
I gotta tell you man, I discovered your channel with the airplane and I'd like to offer some criticism if you don't mind...nevermind, I have none to give! Love it! Subscribed. Awesome content.
Yeah..To Funny!! A FEW ISSUES??? I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT THRU THE FLOOR SCENE..GREAT TIMING..LMAO!!
We are a family on a budget and we have done some incredible vacations in our RV that we never could have afforded any other way.
Time to head to lowes, but first gotta take out a mortgage for the lumber
Great vid plan on watching your channel and give you guys support 👍🏼
@7:52 Classic!
They make and sell sub floor replacement sections. They are angle cut at one end. (The end the slides into the coach) and thicker then. They don’t cost a lot of money either. I’m a master certified rv technician, I replaced many of slide out floors. It’s fairly easy to do. You will have to slide the slide all the way out and then hyper extend it another 6-10” in order replace it. If you need any advice on how to do it feel free to ask. They are fairly easier to maintain and repair.
I found some major issues. Foot goes through the floor. I'm sitting here eating dinner while my buddy is in my guest room. I started laughing so hard I started choking. I ran to the room to get help. But I refused to stop laughing. I finally got my dinner to go down but it was touch and goes.
my 8 year old son started laughing hysterically too!
"I'm going to head out to Lowe's"
(Goes to home Depot...)
😂😂😂😂
once you fix everything it will be worth at least 12K
8:42 It's funny how a 2011 RV is considered "older", telling to how poorly they are built. Years ago I was in a 4 year old one and the owner was telling me about the newer one his relative had. I was like .... WTF, how often do you use this thing to justify a new one every couple years? lol. Maybe manufacturers know this?!
100k and its made of particle board lol
For $100k you can get a 40 ft tow hauler with a garage, on board fuel station & on board wash station
Besides being a money pit, the memories created with an RV are priceless. Good luck on the project!
Thank you Bruno !
that ant cartoon inserted into the video at that spot made me laugh.
Dude your channel is awesome. The free airplane got my attention. But I died laughin with the "I will work for wood sign"!!!
Thank you for being a part of the Rebuild Rescue crew Robert 👍🏼
I want the Austin!
Dude, loved your channel, such a great idea, keep going!
13:45 I would only use plywood from boat building here, it is waterproof and indestructible
My papa Randy has the exact same one
I always get in arguments with the RV reps at the boat show. My idea of camping/glamping is being away from any form of civilization. My preference is a slide in camper and a trailer for 4 wheeler or sleds (snow mobiles).
Lucky dude she's pretty, the every inch counts at the end 😂😂
Hey Jason, this certainly different from Re-Building Old Aircraft left for 13 to 14 yrs outside eh Graeme Wilce from NZ
I would have used marine-grade plywood to replace the floors , it's made to resist water damage
I was going to get a rv but decided to build my own mobile tiny house they tend to built more solid then the flimsy rv's as they are used to go on vacation and not really to be lived in full time so many people have told me they wear out quickly where the tiny house is if you build it correctly very durable and very cheap compared to rv's where the mfg's ask really insane prices. I have to say you really lucked out with an rv so cheap. I love your abandoned plane rebuild keep up the great work!
every inch counts!
🤣😂
🤦♀️🤷♀️
Having seen this episode after your skiing accident…. I now believe your left leg has been trying to take you out for a while?! 😅
Blows my mind people can afford to buy things this nice and then care to little and have the money to squander to let them rot. Lol crazy! Will be amazing for you when it’s all finished though! Curious how much it’ll take for you to get it usable.
They may have the mentality that it still "looks" new! May have no idea what's going on internally. Who would think something only 10 years old that is supposed to be outside would leak outside?!
@Rick O'Sidhe YUP. Check out Steve Lehto's channel (lemon law attorney), he says "Never buy an RV". ruclips.net/video/IP_u2JR51_Y/видео.html
@Rick O'Sidhe Yup, same for boats as well, parts from all over the place.... Shitter is one brand, engine another, windless another, steering system, etc.
Same exact problem in the same exact spot on the floor.. It was the windows leaking and years of condensation dripping through the tiny drains / vents on the windows.
like some wood and paint is not another 80k of money so still good deal
a lot of work, I have a horse trailer with living that needs some minor repairs
That easy ride unit that extends out the front of the fifth wheel hitch adds extra stress to the frame of the hitch. That will void the warranty with many RV manufacturers because it adds extra stress to the hitch frame and could fail. The same thing with the conversions to a gooseneck hitch on trailers like that.
Bro!! I died when your feet went through the floor!!! lol I'm so sorry.
What do you get for a $100,000 travel trailer ?
An $82,000 loss LoL 😢😂
How is this so stuffed after only 10 years 😩
It's a Coachmen.
I will suggest when you replace the subfloor, when you put the new subfloor in , there is a water barrier sealer you can buy at Home Depot , it’s the same sealer you would use when installing tile on a wooden subfloor on top of the cement backer board ..
I have replaced all the water damaged subfloor and used that sealer and covered it 100% all the way around , inside and out and particularly the edges and 20 years later it’s still holding ..
Roofing …. Try to find some
VULKEM 640 , it’s pricey BUT once you seal all the roof seams , joints, cracks the damn thing will be virtually leak proof .. it’s pricey and messy but it’s on the roof , you’ll never see it
The best tip I will give any one for floors of any type if you can afford it get rid of all that oversized sponge board water always finds a way to it and its garbage as you can see in that pull out lol
It's funny you said you were going to Lowes for supplies but then you go to Home Depot haha
Ended up at the wrong place ! 🤦🏻😂
I want the AUSTIN!
I see your Hercules Bag ;)
Just leave fridge & freezer doors open when not in use or storage after cleaning them they will be ok there should be a catch that holds the doors open a touch ! Great project !
Thank you Mick 👍🏼
Trail Air trchnology, Pressed steel a nut and an old tire.
4:44 music buildup...lol
I had a cab over camper, the thing got termites!.
Came for the plane, stayed for the RV.
bruh im gonna gonna go hold up a will work for wood sign now
Hummmm that escalade at the end tho 👌
Do you know what happened to it? Do you have a dehumidifier? Would help get any water out.
With all that rotting, you have some leaks to deal with.
Probably too late with this comment but, get in touch with Big Truck Big RV if you need pointers/advice.
My brother and I have virtually the same RV you have. We have a Montana which is just a step below yours. The AC unit will probably run you around 2 grand if it needs replaced. You mentioned replacing the fridge with a straight 12 volt version. Personally, I wouldn't do that. The fridge will run on 12 volt power but will also run on gas as well. That way, you can run it on the gas while your driving to your destination and your fridge is nice and cold when you get there.
You can run the 12volt fridge while driving and not have to worry going through a tunnel or a fuel stop. The 12volt fridge is way colder than a gas/electric.
@@jimg2885 True but on a long er trip unless you have a generator running you risk draining your batteries along the way.
@@jellybean13 your batteries should stay charged if you are driving. I know when we had our C I had a larger alternator installed that kepy our batteries charged no problem. I never liked driving with the propane on just in case of a accident or when stopping for fuel etc. Just easier to run on 12 volt..
Nice vid
Im a truck driver & that disappoints me… how a professional driver doesn’t know the height, length, width & weight of his load is beyond my comprehension.
Hurricane damaged.. like some cars and trucks hmmm...
I had a newmar Essex
Complete high dollar junk
Continuous PIA
Im a RV painter and I've worked in a few different rv places throughout the years. I painted at newmar for 13 years and I used to paint these Brookstones....the full paint ones during the recession, I currently paint for blah blah lol but to hear that about a newmar is surprising. I always thought they were a higher quality unit...guess not. Ill bet your foot never went through the floor tho lol
I want the Austin
Look at the size of that Lowes
🤔
Watch some RV/Motorhome rebuilds on Niko Brothers RUclips… they remove and repair a couple of slide-outs
It's a Coachmen... What could go wrong? ROFL
@4:16 - I have that same dream. She was in it last night saying the same thing... What is she doing in an RV in America? I'll ask her tonight if I remember.
We have a Grand Design 5th wheel with the bunk house because we have 3 kids. We love it. It's like towing a vacation house with you. Gives you the ability to travel with more things, cook meals, and other great perks. Camp grounds are cheaper than a hotel that would be as nice as our trailer. Boondocking is even cheaper. We use the trailer as a base camp to explore the area from. We do not generally hang out in the trailer. We have a YT channel chronicling our journeys and the trailer itself. Arrrventure Time.
Hey Colby, I’ll have to checkout your channel. Thank you for stopping in and sharing with us here 👍🏼
@@rebuildrescue Thanks for the reply. YT recommended the airplane rescue and it was awesome. Cannot wait to see what you get your hands on next!
Hey J, First off its a 5th wheel not a motor home like you keep referring to it as. You clearly don't have a clue what your looking at. You need someone like me that has been using one and repairing them for 30+ years. That way, at least you will get the terminology correct.The truth is there just is not that much to them. I think people have no idea how to fix them so they get a bad reputation.
I just replaced two slides that were rotted. Best way is to go with uni-strut to the ground. Screw it into the outside of the slide on the side of the slide. That will hold it up while you take the floor out.
You need to go to the specialty wood store and get some sheets of 1" birch plywood. Then go to the flooring warehouse, (Yes flooring warehouse distributor) There you get 1/4" plastic that you glue to the birch plywood. Then you install the finished plywood and plastic. The plastic will keep the water from coming in on the bottom. I hope this helps and gives you some Ideas on how to repair the floor slides. Good luck with it..
"I'm gonna head up to Lowe's" Ends up at Home Depot.
"I'm gonna order pizza" Ends up eating a burger?
Hey, cut the man a break. He's totally preoccupied with fixing his new Motorhome...
A lot of orange in that "Lowes" ...
Just out of curiosity,, How much was the second highest bidder ???
Hey Tony, that’s a good question…..
it was an online auction.
I hate to say this but lots of 5th. wheels even 2011 will go for8 to 10,000.00 but with some work less than 4000.00relaxeing area !!!you can have a place to go to for an extra
A grand for a sheet of plywood? Might be cheaper at Lowes.
"Let's go to Lowes" walks into home depo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤦🏻🤣😂
That was more likely a dish then a antenna and if it wasn't I'd replace it with one
I mean its not in terrible shape for 12k, defiantly needs some work but you can easily end up ahead of the curve.
Speaking as a Brit 🇬🇧 I would love to have something like that
You can. They're available if you look. Try ebay UK.
You will, until you try and use it! Pointless, totally pointless on our roads.
@@lucylovitt9583 didn't day I'd buy 1 😂 would like
Brit's can't own anything like this because you don't have the vehicles to haul them this thing weighs 15,000 pounds and I don't think you have any pickup trucks that can tow that much.
I'm a heavy equipment operator, I travel a fair amount for work. I just use mine for a place to stay when I'm on a job away from home.
I know this vid is old but I wanted to say, that is not an air shock, its just a shock absorber with an airbag for suspension. don't know how you control the air ride on a Fifth wheel, but in a truck its controlled with the air tanks.
