  • If you want a custom restored motor coach please follow the instructions below :) HAPPY CAMPING!
    I started restoring micro motorhomes, campervans and classic motor coaches in 2012 and it's been so much fun to help people realize their dreams of travel and adventure. Now that demand has grown for my coaches it keeps me pretty busy with custom builds so if you want one you will need to call me to set up your own build. Everything you see in my CZcams channel has already been spoken for so you can watch and enjoy but to get one of your own you will need to:
    1. Call me and plan your build + estimate costs. ($40,000 - $100,000 is normal)
    2. Pay 50% of the estimate as a down payment. (more if plans change during the build process)
    3. Allow 3-6 months for completion from the start date.
    Feel free to call with any questions

    Such quality, unlike the junky plastic overpriced crap of today’s rv’s. A classy old girl, well done.

    As the owner of a 1973 Minnie Winnie, I am greatly impressed by your craftsmanship, ingenuity, and attention to detail. If I lived near Colorado, I would much rather give you money to work on my current rig than put something into a new coach.

    I wish you could restore my pot damaged memories of 1975 as well as you have restored this vehicle. I believe you have missed putting some music from Peter Frampton to fully restore 1975 in your van. Rock on Dude!

    i have owned 7 motorhomes and the newer ones have the damn swirls (vinyl graphics) on the exterior. I hate them and wish the manufacturers would go back to the conservative horizontal stripes and the good looks of your motorhome. It has a very classy look to it. Thanks for posting this. Your build quality and designs are first class. Well done!

    Very nice work!! I can tell you’re proud of what you’ve accomplished and you should be. I bet you learned a lot refurbishing the RV. Probably 80% of the work you did on it you’d never done before. You just went full steam ahead tackling the task, probably studying different CZcams videos, etc. along the way. That would be how I’d have done it.
    Awesome Work!

    That’s a great job. We love it here in Iran. I wish I could buy it and bring it here.
    Lots of love and respect from here in Iran to you in USA

    • @martylucas8557
      @martylucas8557 Před 5 lety +1

      Nyx Doc, you’re not telling the truth and you know it. You know you don’t love it in Iran. You’re just saying that so the mullahs don’t have you and your family arrested.
      Why would you say.... “We love it here in Iran”. From what I understand many (most younger and middle aged) Iranians would like to do despicable things to the mullahs, then kick their asses and then take their country back. They would then like to have a more Western style culture, being able to dress and say what they want.
      So don’t even try to tell us that you love it there in Iran!

    • @martylucas8557
      @martylucas8557 Před 5 lety

      Nyx Doc, it’s interesting that the “Up Next” videos include one about the Shah of Iran...lol!

    • @goofygurl4628
      @goofygurl4628 Před 5 lety +2

    BIG THUMBS UP!!!! I couple of things that seemed to me that would have been cheap and better. Solid or glass backsplash, fried fish and wood,? The small night stand, soft close drawer guides vs sticky drawers. Easy for me to say since I was not there.

    What a stunning motorhome. My father, an MD in small town Ohio, bought a new one in 1964 with 2 other Drs. and they used it like a "time share" (course at that time, the term didn't exist!). I'm going to save your video as I've considered buying one myself. Thanks - beautiful job!

  • @mlaforce
    @mlaforce Před 5 lety

    So I just picked me up a 67 travco and I am in the very beginning stages of restoring the inside...I got very, very luck...First off the motor is original with only 3000 miles on it, basically the whole thing is like new except for one thing, the inside has been completely torn out, it has all new appliances and I mean all the appliances are new I just have to rebuild the inside to accompany all those appliances...I have never owned an RV and this is a huge learning curve for me but I do look forward to the challenge since this is now my permanent home...I will have a wood stove inside, essentially I will make it a beautiful home on wheels for me and my little chihuahua to live in...See you guys out on the road. Post Script...Thanks for the video, it give me some great ideas on what I should with my home.

      packingten - Johnny Cash’s brother was a factory service rep for Chrysler. He was 20 or so years prior to me. And that’s been decades ago. But stories were still around about him rolling up his sleeves and taking off his tie to go back in the dealership service dept to fix cars. This was on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I think his name might have been Roy. May have had something to do with Johnny liking Travco’s???

    When I was shopping for my first coach there were a couple of good choices the Travco was one the other was a 1976 Chevrolet Sierra 28 ft Class A. I chose the Chevy because it had a full size bed. But I loved it. I lived in it for 6 years and then upgraded to a 1988 36ft Gulfstream Sunstream Hi-Rise class A. I've remodeled the interior and upgraded the furnace, water and heater to a tankless on demand. But I've been living in this coach for almost 25 years now.
    The Travco's are excellent and that 440 Dodge engine definitely has the power to run it.

    I like it. Great job fixing it up. My dad had a 74 Travco so I recognize a lot of the inside. The frig was a 3way, roof ac, but the back was just a bed. Also did you use a splitter on the battery. My dad put in a truck battery like you did but had another battery for just the engine. The engine alternator ran to the splitter and could charge both batteries at the same time.

We are in Mexico, near the capital, any info you have regarding manuals and how things worked on a original 1975 Travco would be greatly appreciated . I need info about the black and grey water system so I can translate it for my friend. Thank you very much and great job on the restoration/ refurbishing of the Travco !
