Welcome to Vintage RV Adventures, run by John and Samantha from Shropshire in the UK. In July 2021, we purchased a salvage American Ford Econoline 5.7 litre V8 RV motorhome, which we lovingly restored over the course of 2021 and early 2022. We have affectionately named our motorhome Indiana, after the state where it was born in the USA.
Here at Vintage RV Adventures, we take you on a journey through the stunning beauty of the great outdoors in our classic 1980s motorhome. Not only will we showcase the natural beauty we encounter, but we'll also provide valuable tips and tricks for maintaining and restoring your older style motorhome. Whether you're a seasoned RV enthusiast or just starting out, our practical advice will help you keep your vehicle in top condition. Join us as we explore the UK and make memories in our vintage RV.

what dog barking ring
A Ring branded doorbell.
Looks amazing 😍
Thank you very much
You're meant to go right to left but you've flipped your video that's why it's shit. You're going left to right. The head spins anticlockwise.
Nope. No video flipping done.
At least Shelby brings the stick mostly back to you, alot of dogs do not or wants to keep it
Oh trust me Matt, she would rather have me run her round the garden for it, but if she is told firmly to bring it back, she will do so lol.
Who the hell stands right behind someone strimming, and as for the operator your soon be deaf and blind
Oh, don't worry. They person behind the camera is just trying to get a front-row seat to your riveting commentary on garden work safety. And as for the operator, I’m sure they appreciate your concern; maybe they'll even invite you over for a live close up demonstration.
Fridge probably Does work, can run off propane, and also, electric if you so choose. I'd have kept that.
We installed a great little compressor fridge that only uses 66 watts when it is running. Keeps things lovely and chilled.
Been there
Its not a nice experience is it.
Shelby is actually saying please, thou your not getting that, as it is hard to understand dog, sometimes
Lol... she is a nut. Now all she wants to do is have me run her round the garden, chasing her for the stick 😂
@@VintageRVAdventures I know the feeling, I have 2 kelpies that bring sticks 24/7, drives me nuts
Matt, I am sure you are the same, we would not be without them :-)
@@VintageRVAdventures most definitely John and Samantha
owczarek niemiecki piesek
Yes thats right, a GSD.
Where did you find replacement windows for this?
Sorry, we dont know, we have not bought new windows for it.
Layla is definitely having some investigative fun I am surprised Shelby is not taking over or digging a separate hole, dogs love digging on the beach
Oh trust me Matt, Shelby loves the beach, she is for sure a hole digger on the beach. I am not sure Layla will ever grow old of loving the beach.
A lovely beach on a lovely day
Thank you, it was 😀
I want to know how to get the plug in wheel well
Plug in wheel well?
@VintageRVAdventures on the passenger side the first one. got it through the wheel well with a bunch of extensions. pulled it out and it was original. figured the driver side was the same. had to go it through the engine bay
Hey guys great tour here at Prestatyn, such a lovely quiet beach and I think Shelby enjoyed it! 😃 The beach at Rhyl too is lovely 🙂👍~ Anna
Thank you Anna, Prestatyn has fast become our much loved go-to seaside - John & Samantha
You seem really comfortable in your motorhome. Were interested to see the cottage you're renovating! Shelby is so beautiful. We tend to take the iPad when we travel now and just watch CZcams on that when we're away travelling. Right we're off to visit your cottage! Cheers 🍻
Aww thanks very much both. You sound like us, that is what we do, we watch CZcams when out and about, but tend to watch it on the TV. Keep up your videos, we will keep checking in, we love watching videos of people visiting places, and we like your style of presenting. Samantha said that Rachael should be on TV lol.
Ah Prestatyn, we know where you are. The tide was really far in! Oo poor old Pontins! At theres the beach. Your dog is gorgeous. Oh my - now Rhyl! Great video 🍻
We really did enjoy that day, our first time at Prestatyn. For sure we will be returning, in fact we have a confirmed plan to do so in the diary. Thank you for watching.
That’s the best method I’ve seen on CZcams to quiet down those heaters. Well done
Thank you very much for that feedback, it is really appreciated.
no offence but I would have thought that the RV wasn't worth rebuilding do to such intense damage but you did a great job.
It was a close call . Probably not cost effective to do, particularly if being done to sell it, but the end result was worth it.
@@VintageRVAdventures pls post vid of rv now
great job
Thank you Roger.
Ahhh.. Shelby loved the beach. I miss that. 😢 Yes, Samantha wasn't letting you near that ice cream mate. lol.
I am sure that beach video brings back both sad but equally happy memories for you both. You are right there, she was holding on tight to that ice cream mate, wished I had bought one afterwards lol.
Exactly the same thing happened to me and I was just about to bin it. Also my second one. Thank goodness for people like you who take the time to share your knowledge. You have just made me a very happy chappy, thank you so much.
Thank you very much for the feedback, that is really good to hear, I am glad that we could help.
I read pontins were looking at hosting illegal immigrants, but it wasn't used in the end. Yes, it gets bad press for a good reason. 👍 dogs and sand eh lol ironically im off to Mablethorpe soon, lol fish n chips looked good!
Ah right, such a shame to see it so run down. Samantha saw some cleaners there, so they may be trying to keep on top of things ahead of a reopening. Mablethorpe, I will keep eyes open for that video for sure, we used to have our static caravan there until a few years go, be good to see the old place once again Lee.
@VintageRVAdventures ah yes I remember you saying you had a static but I couldn't remember if it was Maplethorpe or Ingolmells, I will upload the walkabout of the site probably next week but I've got the Suffolk series first to share
@@RaymondoLeeTravel Perfect, we will look out for it, looking forward to that.
Never been there. Been to Rhyl a very long time ago. Shelby looked like she was enjoying herself, that's for sure. Chippy grub looked nice.
Rhyl wasn't for us, but we will be going back to Prestatyn. Shelby was born to be on beaches lol. The chip shop chips were like rubber, the reveiws Samantha went by were worthless.
Oh what a lovely day you all had. Shelby loved being on the beach chasing a stick and crunching seashells with Sam haha. Thanks so much for sharing. Wasn't able to get a picture of Shelby from eye to eye level so if you have the chance to send me that style photo I'd so enjoy it to draw (I hope you don't think I'm weird asking, maybe I shouldn't ask.) Love watching your cottage transform so beautifully, real people creating new lives for themselves - it's so positive.
Awww Tracy that is so amazing, of course we will send you a photo or two of Shelby for you to draw, it would be lovely so see what you do with them. if you drop me your email address at: john.carver@gmx.com I will see what we can do for you. The next video at the cottage will likely be laying the hallway flooring and other bits in the hallway.
Beautiful 🤝😎
Great video John I'll be exploring the area later in the week my friend take care ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
@@CharliesVanlife Nice one Charlie, I will keep a look out for your video on the area.
Lemon and meringue sounds yummy. Not sure about the jelly baby one though!
Samantha's fav was the yellow one. I didn't have one, then wondered why not when i tried Samantha's ... next time lol
Can i have it.
No longer available.
I need an overview head window replacement. The one above the drive cabin. Can anyone point me where to look?
Hope you find a supplier.
My brand new heater lasted 2 days and stopped working. For some reason the pump is not activating. I believe I will exchange mine
I hope you got it sorted.
@@VintageRVAdventures I got a Vevor 👍
Is that a 5kw or 8 kw unit? Does it have a Alpine mode setting feature? If so, could you tell me the hot air output temperature at setting level H1 Alpine mode. Thank you.
Its is the 5kw version i think.
What an idiot. Glad he never hit a cow!
These sort give other bikers a bad name. I never did that on my bikes years ago.
This was a lad in what looked like late teens or early 20s. Mr Invicible.
9:00 pretty sure it's a leaky heater core
Nope. It was where one of the pipes goes into the header.
What amp fuse and when is the battery full
I think it was a 5 amp fuse. When the gauge is at it lowest reading.
Use Marigolds while wrapping. When wrapping is done, blow the wrap over with a plumber's blowtorch to melt the loose strands off. Remaining loose strand-ends will melt to little balls that can be brushed away outdoors,
Two really good advice tips there, thank you for sharing the thoughts.
Sounds like your fan is hitting inside heater?? sometimes they push fan on shaft to far and they hit mine had this problem easy to fix your self
That is what happened when we first bought it, straight out of the box.
Yes
Excellent, do you save a whole load of money doing it?
It's been cold and it is breeding season soon so they will need all the extra help they can get. Well done Sam on making your own. I used to buy the big bags too, works out way cheaper. Bung them in the freezer to harden them maybe.
We have gone through 90 shop bought ones in next to no time, the birds around the place love them! Hopefully they will equally love these homemade ones. The best birds we have seen so far are a Woodpecker, such beautiful colours and a Buzzard. Hundreds of small birds of various breeds too.
@@VintageRVAdventures cool, I used to get a woodpecker in the garden when I had the house. The great spotted one that is black with white and red on it. I love seeing the birds, but yes, they soon know where the food is and come and scoff it!
@@roaminginraymond That's it, it is the same kind if Woodpecker here too, lovely looking birds.
I go away for two weeks and look who is putting out a video LOL. Hope you are well.
Hi David 😆 We thought we would drop this little video out as Samantha wanted to make this wild bird food and wanted to share what she was doing. We are good thank you, hope you two are too.
