  • One of the best off road creations on Dirt Every Day, it's the legendary Off-Roaderhome! Fred and Dave take a 1975 Winnebago Brave RV, and convert it into a 4x4 Off-Roader! Later, they do an incredible engine swap in order to take this mobile home to the track! #DirtEveryDay #RV #MotorHome

    I've done a few engine swaps in vans, all they had to do is pull the intake off and pull the chain down tight. I would have liked to see it go offroad before they trashed it though.
    Almost a nice job guys!!!

    In 1972 or 73 one of our local car dealers had a Winnebago Brave identical to this displayed on their lot for a couple of weeks. It had been converted and built to run the Baja 1000. It had left and right hand duel steering wheels. The thing was stripped down bare inside with a massive roll cage frame and one bunk. We rode our bikes down town every day to look at it and dream. We found it unlocked one day and snuck in when we thought no one was looking. We were crawling around on our hands and knees so we wouldn't be seen. We actually found the keys on the passenger seat. My 14 year old buddy grabbed the keys and said let's come back tonight and go for a drive. That seemed reasonable to me, after all I hard been driving my Rupp mini bike all summer on the trails, how hard could it be. Just then the door opened and one of the salesmen came in and caught us. Even though I thought we we going to prison or something, he didn't seem to care and my friend handed him the keys saying we found these. He was pretty cool and started the motor and revved it up showing off. I remember thinking you would go deaf riding in that thing for a 1000 miles. The next summer we rode our bikes to the dealership and found the same sales guy and asked him what ever happened to the jacked up Winnebago. Evidently it crashed and rolled on the 1st day of the race. LOL
