31 year old RV parked for years! Can we clean it up and camp in it?

Well after having engine problems with our 74 Minnie Winnie, and needing a motorhome to take the kids on a summer road trip. We decided to buy a cheap camper that came up for sale very close to our house. It is a 91 Ford brick nose E350 Winnebago Itasca 28ft motorhome with a 460 big block fuel injected and an overdrive automatic transmission. In this video we buy it, clean it up, and make sure everything we need is working. It has seen a lot of water damage but we think we can fix it up enough to take a trip in it this summer. Stay tuned for more videos!

Hi Dude. I'm 64, retired mechanic. I know a good man when I see one, and I know a great mechanic when I see one. Don't let this go to your talking about Ralphie!

[RandysRides]

Dunno how you did it, but you should write a book on raising kids. Articulate, mannered, interested, helpful, and all with a sense of humor. Well done.

A lot of people on YouTube try to bring their kids into their videos.But none of them comes even close to you and your brilliant family and your brilliant animals stay safe you all

Buddy you will get it straight . Raised 3 kids practically in a 77 dodge conversion van . I'm 57 now wow a lot of memories. Never took a vehicle to a mechanic still not. i have newer vehicles now and still wrench. One thing I will tell you you can take those kids to Disney or a cruise. But they will remember their mom and dad taking them camping more than anything else. Your a good man

That little boy is as smart as his dad! He is very intelligent and I love he don't mind helping his mom and dad!

I have an affection for late 80's early 90's ford Rv's. It's satisfying watching one more be brought back to life.

HUGE RESPECT to Mom and Ralphie for getting that camper cleaned up so well.

i owned a E-350 from 1994, and man do i miss it! The startup of the 7.3 diesel engine and the sound that it makes, and the sound when you gently push the gas pedal down, how the engine growls deep and proudly! Man i miss my Ford!

I found this one searching for shuttlebus conversions... this family is hilarious. The Comme ts and jokes were genuinely funny. Esp when you said "finally your parents have a place to retire" I lost it.

[deeds]

I about lost my cookies when the boy said "she's a real beaut clark"... glad to see kids raised right, god bless ya

[sandynono]

Thats one Good boy y'all have there. He's so polite, and he's a great listener, and carries on a conversation like a adult. Great Parenting skills, Mom and Dad🥰

That’s a shame to be such a good camper that no one took care of. So glad you’re repairing it!!

[robertmedsker]

Best lines ... "I wonder what's going thru her mind right now " and. " your casings are flat bro" man I needed that .

[joanies]

OMG, who doesn't just love Ralphie? He has so many funny statements and words of wisdoms... and he really helped his mama. 😍 So glad you treated the inside for mold after seeing all the water damage. From someone who's been seriously ill from mold... it's NOT something to mess with.

I love this family. I really hope they get it going!

Mama kicked butt!!! . First She did amazing with the battery ; I was proud of her. Then she cleaned that camper great. Mama was a Super trooper touching that mattress. Watching Ralphie grow up and seeing him very respectful with his mom is amazing.

[brandondevereaux]

Your kids are so well behaved! Well done parents!

[pocketslife]

[followhim]

Ralphie was so cute helping his mom. What a great kid.

Ralphie is beginning to shine in the videos he’s funny with his comments and he knows so much from previous videos.
He makes me chuckle so much.
