Dude you don’t have to justify any thing you do or projects you complete haters goin hate boot him and continue your awesome content

Rebuilding the red 72 is a good idea, but, don't forget the Bounder is a solid platform to build a real cool ramp-truck. You could even swap an old Van cab on the Bounder frame and even use some of the van to make a sleeper cab ramp-truck. Never give up a solid frame.
I'm definitely pondering some ideas for it!
Ramp truck!
Fix it. It's a big job yes. I'm currently doing the same on a 2000 bounder. It's a great pita learning experience. Also it'll have a lot more space and be more enjoyable. I look at it as redoing a small house or 3 bedrooms. Another thing is that you get to make the interior more modern. The wall material really isn't that expensive. It can look like a mini mansion if desired with painting afterwards. Basically it would have the amazing wow factor as you wouldn't expect it to be so nice on the inside. Like that old regular house and you go in for the 1st time and have to step back out in disbelief.
I would love to see you salvage whatever you can from this RV and rebuild the 72. That would be awesome! Pay no mind to the haters, you don’t have to justify yourself to anyone. You’re a great guy, extremely talented, and have a beautiful family. Keep up the great content! My wife and I love your channel!
Swap the drivetrain into the 72 and flatten the rv after removing the rest of the food stuff
You're doing a good thing by picking up the vehicles and sharing the project with those looking for one like the iroc
Keep up the good work
Get the red one. Swap the drivetrain into the 72 and make it badass. The motor home, trust me from experience watching my daughters boyfriend try to fix one of those up. It’s way too much. The 67-72 body style is the best in my opinion. It’ll gain value where the big one just depreciated everyday!! Overall your choice… but I would build the 72!! Good luck and thanks for the videos.
Oh, and if you don’t want the 72, I’ll come get it…lol
Garth, you are keepin’ it real, what folks like to see, hopefully, 100K people.
No shame in knowing when to walk away from something. Fantastic idea to use the parts for a much cooler motor home. Absolutely do a video on destruction of anything, to include a dilapidated motor home. I will watch, without judgment, anything you guys record. I found one appreciate the entertainment. Thank you.
Using the parts to fix up the 1972 red Chevy would be awesome to watch. And I would like to see you tear down and flatten the other on. And your shows are great keep up the good work.
So sorry to hear bout your wife I lost a wife and daughter myself my prayers are with you and your family God bless you all
Dang, was looking forward to watching this series.. please don’t walk away from it
I would love to see you salvage whatever you can from this RV and rebuild the 72. That would be awesome.😃😃🥰
im so sorry to hear of your wife's death .. your little girl is a treasure to you both .. dont have to justify what you do to anyone ..on this site look after that precious little girl and yourself mate .. much love from England x
She's my reason, my everything.
I just watched the 1st video and commented that the RV was too far gone. I'm glad you made the right decision. Don't forget to save all of the windows.
First time follower and just watched the 1st Bounder vid. I agree with you on salvaging the motor and trans. for the old red chevy camper project. As long as that camper body is able to be fixed without going nuts it will be a classic vehicle. You have several nice old school chevy trucks many would love to own. VW's, my first was a 61 and my two older brothers ran them growing up. You got nothing to be ashamed of sir and your daughter has a great smile. You can see the love she has for you. Good Luck and enjoy the builds.
No question, get that sweet 72 goin'. I haven't seen one of those since the 80's. Very unique build. I would love to see that. Great videos!!
My name is Richard I live in Ponca City Oklahoma I enjoy your show do not pay attention what people say you're doing a great job
I’d love to see you fix the red one. I fell in love with that thing the first time you showed it. It would be awesome with the big block too.
I just found your channel, anybody hating on you for how you handle your property of vehicles is jealous or not worthy of the attention. I figured you'd figure out that Bounder was beyond help, I've been around RV's a long time and that poor thing was just too far gone, hopefully Red will fair better even though it looks rough, I know the structure is easier to fix. Good luck!
I would love to see the red chevy come back to life. Between the two of them you have a heck of a lot of free parts to bring a classic motorhome back from the dead, and that's what this channel is all about.
Garth, what you are doing is what most of us should be doing. Reusing and recycling. Came across your channel and loving every minute of it. As other's have said, ignore the haters. That old bounder has a lot of good items to salvage and reuse that will save a few thousand dollars. Not sure if the chevy is a C20 or C30? Those are rare to come by. Looking foward to what you do next.
That's a awesome idea I would love to see that old chevy on the road
Since you ask- YES! strip out all the good parts of the HUGE motor home and fix the Red One. I did some math to see how much it would cost to fill the 80 gallon gas tank. In a word WOW!. ANY RV is a money pit, the red one would be far less of that. I agree the, Bounder is leaking everywhere and rotted out-not worth the repairs. And to brighten your Day- this writer has raised a family, and grand children and am now on great grand children- and I will say your girl is the brightest and happiest kid in my long experience. Congratulations on a job well done!
I really like the idea of using the parts off of the bounder and fixing the red one. That would be awesome
Don't justify anything, I'm loving your projects. Haters will be haters, they don't have to watch you. It's giving me inspiration.
If that one is just not eccentrically viable to fix up, then if the red one is more collectable and a lot easier fix, then definitely salvage what you can to fix up the red one, essentially if you don't need such a large one. And definitely would love to see the destruction on that after.
Combine the two motor homes together especially since the 1972 chevy is one of my favorite styles trucks. Please keep bringing back to life old vehicles.
Get it done bud. Your dream your build . Good luck and look forward to seeing the progress
I think it would be great, love the 72 Chevys.A demolition would be awesome.
Nice place to live. Keep up the restorations will keep watching .
That sounds like a plan!! I agree the Bounder is too far gone....I look forward to your future videos!
You're an awesome and wonderful dad to those keep up the good work
TIP, when dealing with old fuel and injectors of any sort use premium fuel as well as a little transmission fluid to clean out everything. A new fuel filter is always needed. It's always funny to a point that Free always costs $$$!
Sounds like a nice idea with the old Chevy one
Hello from Alberta, Canada! I'd say take what you can off of the Bounder and use it to fix up the other one. Definitely a lot of good parts on what you have. Bounders are common and the one you have is too far gone. The delamination on the exterior screams rot and mold. Like you say, the '72 as a motorhome is more collectible, far more interesting and a much more manageable size.
I'm looking forward to seeing the build!
I like the videos. I'm waiting to see how bad the RV is when you start to take it apart.
I love your videos. Don’t let the negativity get to you, those trolls or know it all’s are nothing to waste time on. I’ve been watching all your videos and look forward to many more. Like me, there are many people out there who appreciate what you post with what you have, what you able to do, with the life that you’ve living. Unless they are in your shoes, ignoring or deleting and reporting them is what they will get. Thanks for what you’re doing and keep up the good work. Strip the big Rv, build the red Chevy Rv, and enjoy whatever you put your mind to.
As bummed as I am about the Bounder, I guess the 72 would be a good choice too.
Put the heart and good places in the 72 that would be an awesome build. The heaters are always going to hate. You have a great channel
Love the idea of the marriage between the mtorhome! Sorry youve had to deal with trolls... they're everywhere! Keep doing what your doing Garth, and continue to show your girls how to be a parent!
Love the videos!

Hi Riley!!!!🙋
Mr. B. Here ! 👀👀Good morning 8/27/23 6 am ! Cost is very important, I agree with the swap out 👍👍
Morning from Long Island , NY ! ☕️☕️👀 🍩👍
That would be cool as well. Do whatever you want to do and people will still watch and like it.
Being an RV'er myself, I would keep all the windows and appliances that are in the Bounder. Sink, stove, water heater, AC units, lots of plumbing parts, (those don't come cheap), the generator, tires, and of course the driveline....engine, transmission, rear end.
We plan on keeping anything that would be useful to us or someone else.
I'm for whatever you decide Garth. I think you know what would be best.
Don't forget all the windows as that is what is probably leaking, which will just need to be resealed when reused. Also all the twelve volt lighting. I used some of our old lighting for a refit for a van. Even if you do a tiny house van style alot of those items could be reused. Beware of glass lined water heaters they have a tendency to get pinhole size holes in them and can cause trouble later. The last time I bought a used stove for our RV was Inn the 90's and it was $125/ used. So all is not lost. If you cut up the frame there's money to be made from the scrap yard.
You are doing an amazing job Garth! Don’t let the haters get to you! Keeping it going, stay strong!
Why would anyone say any negitive comment they must be jealous u have talent working on cars u sound like a great mechanic I know lil about cars but wish I could do my own fixing things it'll save me a whole lot if money if I did.....Im glad I found ur you channel channel
It’s a family show keep it that way need more people like you peace out TennesseeRed✌️
I'm kinda thinking that big rig has gone somewhere rough, it's got twisted and it's all come apart, so I would be inclined to do the change over to the chevy.take ya time and make it good and clean.
I know you can do it , ya good with ya hands and head. So go for it.👍
! Convert the 72 Chevy! Of course, you can use the a c's, but you will probably only need one, and the appliances from this boundary would be perfect! Now for the body in the back where the living compartment is you can take the windows out of the boundary by new seal gaskets for the perimeter of the window and put those into the 72. Along with the 454!
Somehow switching saddles to fix up that smashed red 72, reminds me of the Wild Cherry (red) van restoration, after being found in really bad shape, and rotting in a field! You are likely too young to have seen that thing. It was iconic back in the day, was featured in a movie, and the restoration was epic.
Just looked that up. I had never heard anything about it. What a wild story! Thanks for sharing about it.
Hello from Indy. I Enjoy your videos and your content. keep it going and you will grow .
You have an awesom yard and nice Projects 😊👍
You have come to a good decision I would say this is a better idea for using the components to rescue the 72 .the bounder is going to use more profits then what the return would be so its like your accomplished two goals your putting parts of the boulder and putting that 72 which would continue to wither away in the wrecking yard so it's like putting two vehicles on the road look forward to viewing the progress. And far as the individuals sending a comment like he did. Well he is just jealous that he is unable to have a setup like you do to accomplish the return of these vehicles and you don't have to answer a certain amount of time to do this. So best to ignore the haters and just continue in the pace you have chosen.
I like the way you're going with this. Now pull the drivetrain out of the Dodge, install it on to the bear RV chassis(after you remove fiberglass shell) install the cab of your choice, and make a cool ramp truck.
Go for the red one. It looks way cooler and less work. I think it would turn out looking great. Have a good day buddy 🎉
Combine them. That'll be awesome.
Love to see the 72 back on the road.
I think what you are doing is great and I also like that you have your girls involved
Since the Bounder is too far gone, your new plan sounds like a winner.
Garth. We still have the IROC and have done a few things here and there but we have time and taking it at a good pace so the kids learn.
Glad to hear it! Keep me updated!
For some, restoring these type of vehicles is not just about money and any profit made. If, I was given something for free and could restore it all cheaply, then the resale amount is all pure profit. New (fabricated?) pieces of metal and wood required is nothing too expensive. As you said. The guts of it like the engine, transmission, tyres and A/C are ok. There is probably even a way to rig the A/C for both areas, to get the benefit of it at the same time. Just have the windows and door open with fly screens (if any?) in use. If you are parked in a safe and secure environment. One day these vehicles will be classic (if not already?) then later on, maybe even vintage and their value will soar. If, you really don't want the work required, maybe consider letting someone with a real passion for retro vehicles have a chance. I, personally love these older type RV's. I am not much of a fan of the European ones. I am not in America but would snap that up if I was. Once vehicles like this are broken up they are gone for good, usually. End of an era. Response to video only.
Sounds good with the chevy! Have a good one!
From what I saw of the red one, it looked like the whole side needed to be replaced. Maybe I say it wrong. Take all the good stuff and put it into one of your choice. Sounds good to me.
Hi I was just watching a clip Random Randomness KCMO has uploaded The guy in the clip was talking about and showing a lowrider van It was built in the 1990's and it is based on a Chevy Astro The van is sitting in a junkyard I know that you rescue old vehicles and you bring them back to life Thought that you might be interested in the vehicle Perhaps you and your oldest daughter could work on it and the van could be hers Pint it pink ,and trim it in pink
Thanks. Love your channel. I’m saying build the red camper and salvage anything you want out of this camper.
on the wrecker just measure center to center have one made or look around salvage yards until you find one that fits or is to long and shorten
I have a buddy that took his parents worn out Boulder and made a great camper from a UHaul box truck. Use that RV to build up a great camper and use the heck out of it. I have been camping when an older RV pulls in. It becomes the gem of the camp ground!
I’m sorry to here about the motor home, I don’t understand how things get so rusty down there. But I do like the idea of the 72 motor gettt a new life from the 1990parts😁😁👍😁
72 chevy camper sounds badass to me
Bet the mpgs get better than today's cars,and you do good,wish I had it in me to to az and a junkyard car to rebuild,retired and tired
I like your idea to scrap this Bounder. Makes sense to me.
Save the usable components and build a tiny house for the girls. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
If you can save the bounder's cab and frame, then you can make that into a car carrier ramp truck, and still sell lots of cabinetry and fittings to save other Bounders.
Absolutely fantastic episode mr
Great idea !
Fixing the 72 camper makes more sense i think. Good luck i will follow the build anyway.
Good luck!!!
Hey man I think it's cool how your wife birthday is coming up I just want you to know I pray for you all and just know she's looking down at you smiling I mean look at all you achieved there's alot of good in the world love your videos and happy birthday to your wife have a nice day
Great plan looking forwards to see the chevy camper way more uniek i never seen one either 🤙
Hey man, while I really enjoyed the tour, you shouldn't have to prove anything! You have great content! You're real to yourself, and that's one of the reasons I continue to watch! Definitely boot the haters. 72 camper? Definitely!!
Go for it way better style besides your kid will have a blast helping Dad. You have a Ba Ha I'm 56yrs old my Dream car VW Ba Ja. GODBLESS you all.
Definitely sounds like a plan you have all the parts that for free official winner, winner chicken dinner great idea great project and you get what you want lets go
I have repaired MH with the fiberglass sidewalls ,its not as big a problem as it seems. The inside wall are simply 3/16 luan paneling which is all installed with special glue made for foam application. The outer wall are the same glue. the structure is usually made of alum tubing and the windows are trimmed in wood. if it was me I ld jump in the project with both feet. Iv done this many times in my 82 yrs of life and loved every minuet of it. but thats just me.. The biggest job is just getting started..
The structure of this one is definitely steel because it's rusted and rotten, and falling out of the walls through the bottom.
Not surprised about the bounder rv. Rv's in general once the framing goes bad its expenses go way up. The 72 would be cool, but it will be quite the project also. Good luck. Enjoy your show.
Yeah, that old school camper would be bodacious! I actually had a model version of it I put together as a kid, back in the late 60s.
I love your videos here. You have your kids involved with the videos Keep up the good videos.
Keep doing u love the progress and I would love to see the red 72 camper redone
I just would like to say happy birthday to Mrs. Garth here in a few weeks. Maybe I am weird but well maybe I am weird.
It's a great idea to swap the good things out and demolish the junk. This is your channel; you can do whatever you please. I like the content. That's why I watch it. Keep up the good work.
I had commented on that video about that 72 was a find. Me personally I’d use the TBI and electronic ignition but that’s me. And you have a plethora of interior RV stuff to use in the 72.
Do what's best for your family, no explanation is necessary people will hate keep up the great content 👌
Garth, I am new to your channel, you mentioned people being nasty to you. This is your life - you are the architect of your life, your plans, decisions, and business are yours alone. Enjoy your life, your girls, your talents and your passion - anything 🚗 cars or 🛻 trucks! IGNORE THE IGNORANT!
In my opinion the 72 would be a way cooler build than a Bounder
Had to replace a roof on an old MH once and I was shocked how they made them. They used paneling sandwiched around a piece of insulation with glue attached to the metal frame work. Fun times 😊, not..
Gut the Bounder and fix up that Chevrolet Motorhome is a great idea. Those Bounder RV's are too costly to fix up. I can't wait to see how the 1972 Chevy Motorhome comes out. Great videos, bro.
I think you said what you want to do and I agree. Take parts from the Bounder and focus on the Chevy. But… that Chevy has a huge amount of bodywork. Wonder if it’s also more than you expect. Looks pretty bad, but as you say, you are there and I am not. But I think it will be a fun project to watch. I want an RV and am thinking about a good used one to fix up while I get ready to retire. So exciting!
Go for it that's a great idea with the motor homes combine them together.
You gotta know when to say when and when an RV starts to leak they are done , I know have been camping for 20 years.
Central California watching.
Definitely resurrect the 72 I was 8 when it was built remember all the cool cars from that era. My dad had a 72 short bed pulled our float for homecoming with it! Rock on enjoy your content!
If you are going to rebuild one, I would prefer to see you do the old Chevy. The bounder is just another big RV.
