    Man, I think you hit the jackpot on that rig, Bruce!!😄 It seems very well put together, and it looks like most of the damage is superficial. I know with your skills, you'll have that Cat straightened right out, and the generator as well.. 25KW??!! Man you can run the trailer park with that thing.😂 That old fella has more stuff than Carter has Little Liver Pills!😆 What a freakin' gold mine!🏆🏆💲💲😲

  • @robertmanley6102
    @robertmanley6102 Před 10 měsíci +3

    That truck is way better than any new RV. Like you said it just needs a bit of a remodel. But worst case you can get a nice airstream or othe bumper pull that might be a newer nicer thing that will make the wife happy. I'm guessing you need a new air switch for the fan. Seems like that's what I had to replace on the last Cat I had. I had an '88 International with a 425 Cat back when it was the most desired motor around. You got a solid truck to fix up there, I don't see how you can go wrong. Be well! 😊

  • @TwiztidPain
    @TwiztidPain Před 10 měsíci +3

    Dude has a gold mind, and that RV is a great find. Solid old school pete all mechanical, with hard wood interior. If you wanted you could rip the wood out and start from just the studs.

    @jaquigreenlees Před 10 měsíci +3

    few months back there was a similar unit available near me, black cherry and chrome, though they converted it in a far easier manner. they removed the sleeper, put a travel trailer on the frame of the truck with it's back end tied into the cab, cut the hitch off the trailer. the exit from the rv living quarters was on the drivers side. powered by a series 60 detroit diesel.

  • @phantomfixer
    @phantomfixer Před 10 měsíci +1

    Love that RV 👍🏼👍🏼. That little AC window, lol. It's actually called a smokers window. If you're a smoker and ride with that window open, like magic it draws the smoke right out of the window.

  • @righttobloodydissent

  • @outabeat
    @outabeat Před 10 měsíci +6

    That is a really cool rig. If the interior was completely redone you could flip it super easy. All the Glamis and Pismo guys in So Cal would love to have it. The shower and head combo looks like a marine system for a yacht. I've purchased a couple of those marine toilets in my time. And can you imagine the estate sale that'll eventually take place there? You'd have to hire an auctioneer to handle that inventory.

  • @einfeldt777

  • @Bluedino6996
    @Bluedino6996 Před 10 měsíci +3

    The good thing about it needing so much work is that you guys can redo it exactly how you want it to be. Hopefully it was a good enough price you got money to play with for the remodel

      Can’t believe he took the video down! He was talking like he was making the video to show people to make sure they weren’t ripped off by Thor and all Thor has to do is come along and throw some money at him and he deletes the video and Thor can continue ripping people off with crappy rv’s

    @davidmoore8741 Před 10 měsíci +1

    That thing could be real sick, it deff looks like a great base to start with. Then u can tow the GLAMPER for amber, maybe someday turn it into a 5th wheel hauler like cleeters rig and some slides, update it, would make a sweet OTR rig for hauling the pulling toys or mud trucks. Plenty of room to put bunks in for the kids that fold up. It's got a shit ton of ceiling height.

    Your AC vent can not be open like you had it (unless you love to eat bugs & bees) just open to about 45 degress of the side door window with the side window down about 2 inches. You are right you would never find Mr Bob or Miss Lucy in Texas. Good name for the RV ,Miss Lucy,s Travels! Love the antque engines & tractors.
