These are classics ! Who buys a motorhome and expects to get good mpgs ? I'll bet their reliability is better than most nowadays ! Quality control is awful with newer RV's.

I take serious exception to the characterization of the GMC motorhome as being overly problematic. In it's day it was far more economical than other RV's but owners were driving them in the city and complaining about the economy of a vehicle that was never designed for stop and go traffic. Many of the units also suffered from poor maintenance and owner neglect. They were only discontinued because GM decided that they would rather use the same amount of production space to build trucks which would turn profit faster due to higher demand. I think the reality of this coaches reliability/durability is the fact that over 75% of them are still on the road today and they have a cult following.

This is a clickbait video I guess. Facts, numbers and years are just plain wrong in many examples. Especially the Travco.
Travco motorhomes were some of the best built coaches on the road. You clearly have no knowledge about this subject.

When I was a kid my dad bought a old school bus. Converted it into an RV. We took in campaign hunting fishing. I love it. My Older. brother bought it off my dad. Restored it. Now I set that the family farm in michigan. And we're taking in deer hunting Again this year. School buses make. Excellent R VS. William s

Everything about this video is wrong or seriously misleading, this video should be pulled. Nothing is correct 😢

This whole video is total A.I. BOOLSHEET MISINFORMATION.

Almost NONE of these motorhomes were ever much trouble... Mechanically or otherwise.

Of course just like anything else, a motorhome or any RV needs regular maintenance... Something that a lot of owners overlook, and that's when the troubles begin.

HOWEVER...None of these units ever had "mechanical problems" of the scope this lousy video alludes to... Except for possibly the LeSharo.

But any of them with American V-8s in them were normally rock solid and will run even after all these years.

One GIANT piece of misinformation is that the GMC Astro motorhomes with the front drive Tornado running gear are "unreliable". Those are nearly bulletproof, other than their rear air suspension tends to get weak and fail after YEARS of being exposed to the elements.

ALL of the old Dodge based coaches will literally run forever, provided that you can find the harder every day to find chassis parts... The engines and transmissions are engineering masterpieces that will return their owners with an easy 150, 000 miles with no major problems.

The Chevrolet P-30 based units can be repaired READILY and are incredibly reliable... and affordable to maintain.

Old Ford based motorhomes are much farther and few between, but are still serviceable.

So, yeah... Whoever came up with this drivel needs to have their head examined... One thing I can guarantee you is that whoever this clown is, he's NEVER spent more than about fifteen minutes in one of these great old coaches.

The Chinook is a very well made motorhome. I don’t think it deserves to be on any “Worst list”.

Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I started in RV repair in 1979. All these came in for repairs at one time or other. Lot easier to work on and people were happy their rig was repaired. Been in all aspects of the industry and fond memories fixing and updating these old rigs.

My neighbor has a 73' cheiftan in his front yard. Never seen it move and I've lived at my house for 15 years.

[josephrogers]

Winnebago Braves are great. The 318 is a very reliable engine. Your video is skewed.

[SamuelSmith-ee]

My father was a body man with his own shop and he bought a 1964 Dodge sportsman van new!! We put that van through it all with ten kids in the family!! Put on over a million miles on it!! I wish I had one just like it!!!

[johnhenryholiday]

How amazing.... Winnebago was such a bad coach Here they are still in business.... ummm somethin isn't adding up

[pjrazvoza]

You clearly don't like Winnebago, all of the motorhomes you featured in this video are innovators to the RV industry if it weren't for these included there would be no industry today as we know it making The vehicle's mentioned icons of the RV industry! Your presentation was notable your facts are not correct for a lot of, but not all of the content.

[MSteiert-chjn]

I own a 1973 Brave. Mine has a 413 Chrysler engine. I have 70000 miles on it and don't see the end for it. The layout beats a lot of other motorhomes of and after the day.

[CaptainKevWright]

As the proud owner of a LeSharo (you actually feature my wife inside ours in your video) you are pretty spot on. That’s the problem with a vehicle being ahead of its time, it sometimes comes out half baked.

[dodgevannerrentz]

what a load = click bait. A friend got me to watch as we have the very innovative Xplorer 21 and are VERY happy with them. Don't know of any that were built in 1967 or even 1968. To say they are cramped inside is not realistic. I invite people at shows to step inside. The first thing they say is how much room there is and how surprising it is to be able to stand up! And to blame an RV for it's engine. In this case it was the very reliable 318ci built from 1957 and on into the early 2000's.

For $250, 000.00 you to can get away without any problems mentioned here .
Ya, I'd be lucky to any of these old boys .
Can you imagine, the most expensive one on the list back then was less money than a cheap Chinese shitbox that will spontaneous combust just sitting in your driveway.
Man, we Americans have really lost it .

The Best RV I have owned is my 1983 Silver Eagle Tour Coach. I bought it from Hank Williams Jr in 1989, when he bought a new Tour Bus. Aside from removing a stack of 3 Bunks to enlarge the Bathroom. It still remains the same as Hank Jr. Had it built.
