Will It Run?! | 1988 Winnebago Sitting For YEARS!

- I bought a 1988 Winnebago on an online auction. Measuring in at 32' long we need to remove it within a day, can we get it running good enough to make the drive home? #willitrun #winnebago #motorhome #rv
Y'all cracked me up with the folding chairs coming with the unit, now you have a place to sit while stranded on the side of the road. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Really think it needs to do a road trip down to Florida this winter 😄
Driving or towing something you just bought is always an adventure i know
i had a 2,018 mile towing adventure but i made it , thanks to the many people that help me along the way
This is a good quality camper. You have to save this one.
I have resurrected several old RV's and one sitting for 6 years is not that bad, especially for a quadrajet, which can set over 10 years with ease and still work fine. Most RV's didn't get fuel injection until the 90's, and if you can take the time to actually understand a carburetor, they are great. In fact I will take a carburetor over fuel injection any day. If the refrigerator has an ammonia smell, it is leaking and should be replaced or professionally rebuilt.
Hills are a Winnebago's mortal enemy.
In 2018 I bought a 1983 gmc corvair 30 ft motorhome.. ot has a 464 engine. It started & rub good. . I drivebit about 100 miles to get home. It ran & rode good.
The fas gauge didn't workshop So i stopped often fir gas. . I drive it around town fir a month. The old girl worked great.
This video popped up in my recommended and had to watch it because the camper looked so familiar. I couldnt believe it sold on the auction site for only $160. Looks like its worth every penny lol. Btw at 20:51, Im the one that bought that 1986 F250.
Thats cool, always liked them pickups.
That RV is a GM Collectors item, you don't know what you have, do not destroy it, but you probably already have 😂🎉
It definitely isn't worth fixing, most of the roof is destroyed from water damage
@@wrenchesandracecars He's right. It's a front wheel drive GMC made for a few years with many dedicated fans. You're exactly the kind of seller they'd want to buy from.
Take a camping trip with us before winter ❄️. You don't have to go far. Thanks 👍 for sharing.
Descent content, but stop trying to mimic VGG.
Dam I have to say I like it nice but 👍🏾👌🏾👌🏾👏🏾 can't wait to see it up & running 🙏🏾
No bad, but let Derrick's verbiage be Derricks. Be unique in your own way. Good Luck
agreed
Alot of us who have watched Derek for years, have had some of the things he says become part of our vocabulary, without a conscience effort. These guys have great personalities, and are pretty darn entertaining. Isnt life hard enough sometimes as it is, without having someone we dont even know try and dictate how we should or should not talk? I dont get the negative mindset of someone who would leave a comment like you did.
We say Derricks and zip ties and bias plies one liners all the time around my parts and we think they are hilarious 🤣 To each there own.
You guys seem to really know your shit when it comes to RVs and mechanical. Admirable!
My first car came with a lucky set of horseshoes, too. '63 Chevy Nova. I think I bought it in '74 for $100. It ran fine. But needed brakes and a clutch. I was in high school. Did all that myself.
hahaha, Good Job sticking with it and getting it to the house. You got your $160 worth. There's a ton of good parts and that low mileage engine just needs fluids changed a carb replaced and new fuel pump then put it in a Squaebody truck. As I'm doing with one extremely similar, converting a bus to an RV. I hate RV's, though I have to say, those upper line Winnebagos are about the best I've seen for an RV as far as quality. I mean, it's still thin consctruction, but it's not paper thin like most RV's. I'll have to sub now and see what you do with this thing. Can't be nothing but good and entertaining.
Awesome y'all got it home y'all are so funny see yah guys
Had a 1978 BARTH W/ 454 RAN GOOD 2 😀👊👍✌️🦅🦼🇺🇸
The Shape, the windows, the layout and the dash tells me it may be the WindCruiser by Winnebago. I'm sure there's other model names too. They are actually good quality line of RV's. LIke top of the line for an RV. I was just given an 85 model with 35,000 original miles that had been badly vandelized. No water damage though.I've towed it to the off grid property. I'll be using the 454 and Th400 for my 85 Chevy Truck K20 mud truck build. The other parts, tanks, windows, fridge, wiring propane tank and many many other parts to convert a school bus to an RV. It should save me thousands robbing parts off this thing. Sad it was vandelized so bad. It still a Th400 but should have straight cut planetaries in the back and a drum driveshaft brake that can be swapped out with a standard output shaft which I'll have to be doing.
this has to be the first channel that they talk about carburetors and they don't know what it is.. Lol i just found your channel you guys are pretty awesome!!
😄😄 thanks!
Great video I was actually there when you guys took it out when you were going down the hill, I was in the Silverado with the gooseneck me and my dad were both surprise that thing drove out of there
That's awesome, yeah we weren't sure how it would go 😄
Good video glade you made it home. Thanks for sharing 👍
Great RV! Great job, guys! Probably good to syphen out the old fuel with a wet vac or pump or something before setting off -- might have prevented some of the carburettor and running issues. And I know it was probably not possible at the time, but it might have helped the brakes to douse them with brake cleaner -- just to free them up, get rid of a bit of dirt and rust, etc. Mechanical problems can always be solved. The real hurdle is: What does the wife think of it? I think she'll (the wife) like the RV. And I think she'll (the RV) clean up real nice. Try to restore her back to original -- give her (the RV) that dignity. Great job, guys! Keep safe out there!
Not gonna lie I would love one of those over the new RVs. Looks crazy comfortable even to drive
Yep been there fun times iv got the same problem with buying Rigs good video keep them comen
Definitely wasn't as bad inside as I thought it would be.
Should have put some Seafoam in the gas, that would have helped with the carburetor.
Run an Ozone Generator inside for a week to get rid of the smell.
The CB would be the biggest selling point for me.
Hey, that was fun. I'm going to see what else you guyd have to offer. All hail the mighty algorithm.
Nice old beast😄
Fabulous work. Congrats.
The brakes are not working well, because you need to inflate the air suspension
It really doesn't look too bad it just needs a good going through.
Please keep her a life and a for ever home in a museum
You boys have a great atitude
Best winobago ever
I hate to admit it but I live in one identical😂
Hey you could gut the interior and make a burnout bus. Looks like the 454 already has some big headers on it.
From what I’ve seen station wagons and RVs kept using carburetors long after the throttlebody came around why I have no idea
Got a new sub here from West Tennessee. Great video fellers.
For me ,who live in Germany, that kind woukd be Just,a dream
She's a beaut Clark!!!
Not bad for a new CZcams channel. Love the red neck vibe & attitude!!! Keep on Rolling!!!
Thanks for watching
come one a 6 years old engine and you not let him turn a few minutes before to engage in R or D mode!
If the airhorns on top work, you got your money's worth‼️😂😎
Love to see what she looks like all cleaned up?
First time viewer. Very funny, interesting with some great laughs😂
Thanks for watching!
Q-Jet secondary air valves should snap shut, not dangle open. The air/fuel mixture was leaning out with you flooring it with the secondary air door messed up.
had a ball thanks mates
Thanks for watching 👍
Why are you putting starting fluid in the secondaries?
That mesh thing is a bud net that snaps to the awning.....
now you just got to get the Bruce generator running lol
I dont like that short wheelbase at all. That tail will swing out 20 feet😧 in a tight fast turn!
It doesn't turn sharp enough to make a sharp turn haha but it is a pain to drive with the long tail, plan on fixing that in the next video😄
I have a 36 ft class A on the Ford f-550 chassis and damn her booty swings far 😂 One good thing my dad pointed out (previous owner) was when towing a trailer the tail swing helps keep you away from curbs and the axles follow you around the corner much better when making tighter turns towing so it does have one benefit but that's it haha. Just isn't fun when making a left or right turn at a intersection with cars in the lane next to you.
my 89 has the quadrajet carb
Good deal for the money!
Well done those good men
Thanks
This motorhome the 454 is in is a 1989 sunflyer motorhome and like I said it runs and drives excellent
When I started driving my dad gave me problem cars. To Disney world at 16 when it opened. I carried a screw driver to tap the fuel injector my horn always honked wo me and I am a girl!!
A lot of times the body of the camper and the cab aren't from the same model year. Example: my 1986 Class C by rights it should have fuel injection because '86 was the first year of EFI for Ford. However, the E350 frame chassi cab it rides on is a 1985.
carburetor needs a rebuild and the alternator is not working my guess
A carbureted big block is a hell of alot more likely to run after sitting than a tbi
"Carbonizers" ??? 😆 "Transmotion" ??? You guys 😁
Such a pity that it’s all water damage that was a beautiful motorhome Back in the day and they cost a pretty penny even still I know a lot of people who love that style of motorhome
Spaceballs!
Dude. Did you collect your $10 from the auctioneer?
Yup😄
Lmao @14:36 whoever designed this was not even on that much on meths haha
turn all the fans off the second it dies.. save some battery....
Wow that thing is loooong 😂
Very😄
This motor has 63 thousand original miles on it it's in the motorhome it runs and drives you can drive it away
Lol y'all wasn't charging. Hei ignition will shut down at around 10 volts.
You gained a new sub
Thanks for subbing
Jesse we need to cook
You need to buy one in Florida drive it back to PA
That would be a great winter video haha
I think your problem is the battery there is no charge
Have almost the same rig but better shape that doll is very collectable I have the rest of the plush toys except for that 1
I swear it looks like your in or near Hanover/gettysburg/littlestown/new Oxford area but then again 75% of PA looks the damn same lol
If you are in pa and mess with racing and racetracks then you’re probably familiar with the area I come from because we use to have an active super busy and loud racetrack less then a hop skip and jump away but it closed is 2021 I believe it was an I guess still is referred to or called trail way speedway. The bros that owned it sold it and the new owner I believe it looks like is using the land for possibly real estate opps and maybe some extra farming space, sad to see it go like that but what yah gonna do?? Yah know
The emissions from your truck are deadly
Dude, I still live with my parents, you know what I’d pay to get something like what you all have?
42:45 Well three bone ups you guys didn’t run a separate fuel source mixed old gas with new gas guaranteed the tank is absolutely shwrecked
Could not be spraying starting fluid while driving????
fix it up
You needed AAA!
I Have my own Call Sign on CB its R-1 Rescue one
Good video, but you sound like VGG trying to be Peg from Zip ties and bias plies. Come up with your own thing. That being said, I love the tool truck
I hope you guys named this winnie Kenny
I don't get it how the same engine would work good in a car but when in the an rv it seems they online last a few miles then problems
It probably doesn't help that rvs weigh a ton and the engine is always getting beat on
Stuck on stupid😅, 250000 service truck but won’t service anything, I don’t get it.
Please don't trash it if you don't want it please let me know I would take it in a heartbeat I'm nearly homeless and could use something like this so please if you don't want it let me know please 🙏 and thank you
Your gonna like the next video then 😁
You fix it up? I have one and looking for parts!
It's obviously not charging
CHANNEL 8 on CB Rescue ONE
You bastards killed kenny 😂
JESSIE
quit putting gas in the secondary of the carb put it in the primary
Funny you never thought alternator
Alternator was working fine, turns out the one battery cable was making bad connection
Throw away that big block and put a Cummins in it!!
Oh break a nail lol
Is the fan belts on or loose?
Maybe trouble will cause you this moving caravan
🤔👍
Have y'all never seen vgg 6 years is nothing.
Why you know you always got some place to stay if your wife kicks you out of the house
Check if the generator is charging the battery??
Yup turned out the one battery cable end was rusty inside and not making good connection
