    What the what?? Harvey the RV is making a comeback video!! Harv, we've missed you bud!! Thanks for all the entertainment getting fresh ball joints and shocks. All this talk about Jack stands, and not a single showing of Jack standing. And you left Jack under Harvey in addition to standing. Sounds like poor Jack was pretty much worked to the bone!! In the end, it was good to see all of Jack's standing paid off, and Harvey will have a more stable and comfortable ride.Way to go Jack!! No question, Jack gets the total win on this one.

    • @retrorevivals

    Great work, family! I agree with you, with older campers, you are never goong to be done. We have taken 2 trips with our camper Eddie so far, and we still have things to fix!
    BTW, we used the curtain idea you did for Harvey and it worked awesome! Out the door we paid about $50 for everything out the door. What a great solution! Glad you came across it and shared it!

    Yeah, we gotta keep those allen wrenches on a lease or they will run off! Lol! Good idea. At some point you might want to get a uncuttable cable and security lock that can't be cut off for your generator.
    the lettering you did looks just like the original! High five! Clarkson's Farm was too funny!!

    • @retrorevivals
      @retrorevivals  5 месяцев назад +1

      also there multiple reports of temu taking money out of peoples bank accounts that wasnt authorized to complete a transaction this actually happened to a friend of mine

    Tennessee just ain't Michigan!❤
    I am glad you are going to address the drawers.
    I did comment on the lock for your drawer.But even though you did put a slide pin in there you might want to make a strap to hold down the implement on to your drawer.
    There is a possibility that when going down the road it can bounce right off of that drawer.
    I really like your guy's content and enjoy watching every episode.I would hate to see that the money you invest into harvey getting damaged by the lovely Michigan roads, and we saw that a few episodes ago on your drive you did.
    I believe firmly in
    "Better safe than sorry"
    Ok.....
    I see you made the strap! Excellent thinkjng!

    As far as the backup camera goes, I was wondering if you hook up the positive lead to either the reverse lights (camera turns on when you shift into reverse), or to the running lights (camera only runs when the running lights are on). Just a thought.

    • @retrorevivals
      @retrorevivals  5 месяцев назад +1

      Yes that would work. We wanted to be able to use it going down the road. So we wired with a 12V constant. The switch keeps it from draining the battery when not in use.

I'm in MN and we're rehabbing 'Ruby' the RV and making her our dream come true - on a budget bwhahahaha. 1985 Class C Van Camper. We have a ginormous family - 7 kids and then 13 grandkids with 2 more on the way. I would absolutely LOVE to do a camping meet up with you guys - it would be a blast! We can meet in WI in the middle or the U.P. or the north shore...... would love it. Prayers over you guys, your family, all your adventures & travels!!! Real question for you - Harvest Hosts - do you recommend? Best/worst part of it? HUGS FROM MN!

    Why don't you have bought roll-down screen? That's what I did in my camper! It's only there when you need it and out of the way, when you don't! 😊. They are very cheap and you can screw them to the ceiling! I love to help! But I am in The Netherlands and that means it has to be online! I like your channel though... ❤

    • @retrorevivals
