Hello All, I came across an old post with oldtrucker63 and Lo Lo and I hope they or someone else that can help is still around.
Here's the situation, yesterday I bought a 1976 Dodge Sportsman motorhome at auction that has very low miles (6k), upon getting it and trying to drive it home, i'd get up to about 35 mph and it would start puttering. It was described with old gas so I got some new gas and sea foam to put it in it after leaving it on the side of the road an hour from my house. It wouldn't go more than a mile or two without puttering (and popping occasionally) so I pulled it into an outdoor store and asked the manager if I could leave it there overnight.
I know nothing about RV's/Motorhomes but always dreamed of owning an older classic camper but now i'm not so sure I made the right decision. I'm on the edge of thinking this thing was a good deal with low miles and a good engine and possibly being worth putting some time and $ into to get it going nicely and clean it up vs. wondering if I made the wrong decision and just bought a problem.
I would love to get anybody's advice on the few things I should do to try to get it home. i.e. putting fuel stabalizer etc. in it which I have done. Any big things that I can do myself? possibly replace fuel filter, oil change, etc?

All, I came across an old post with oldtrucker63 and Lo Lo and I hope they or someone else that can help is still around.
Here's the situation, yesterday I bought a 1976 Dodge Sportsman motorhome at auction that has very low miles (6k), upon getting it and trying to drive it home, i'd get up to about 35 mph and it would start puttering. It was described with old gas so I got some new gas and sea foam to put it in it after leaving it on the side of the road an hour from my house. It wouldn't go more than a mile or two without puttering (and popping occasionally) so I pulled it into an outdoor store and asked the manager if I could leave it there overnight.
I know nothing about RV's/Motorhomes but always dreamed of owning an older classic camper but now i'm not so sure I made the right decision. I'm on the edge of thinking this thing was a good deal with low miles and a good engine and possibly being worth putting some time and $ into to get it going nicely and clean it up vs. wondering if I made the wrong decision and just bought a problem.
I would love to get anybody's advice on the few things I should do to try to get it home. i.e. putting fuel stabalizer etc. in it which I have done. Any big things that I can do myself? possibly replace fuel filter, oil change, etc?
Thanks so much!","body@stringLength":"1355","rawBody":"Hello All, I came across an old post with oldtrucker63 and Lo Lo and I hope they or someone else that can help is still around.

I also had similar issue with my 76’ Minnie Winnie 20’. Spent $3k on the mechanical parts to get it all good. But it kept completely dying after driving 7-10 miles. Had put new 2 Barrell Hollie Carb on it because it had warped over the years along the bottom and gaskets weren’t sealing it up from sucking air. So I had it gone over by my mechanic front to back top to bottom and fix everything he saw that was going or was gone. He said the ceramic wire junction connectors can cause multiple issues so I should get some to keep on hand. Starter was a beast but someone had at some point drilled an hole through it to put an 8” long cotter pin through it to keep the stator up instead of having it rebuild or replacing it. Even dropped the gas tank and had it emptied and cleaned after putting see foam in it. The gas was like molasses. Ended up my actual distributor was bad. It rare that the bottom of it goes bad but it had. It was catching when tried to go in to higher gears on the coil and burning it up.

While I am sure the OP would appreciate the response, the post is 10 years old and he hasn't been on the forum since.

The Carter ThermoQuad carburetors would leak
When they leaked they caused engine compartment fires - I am serious about this - JARTRAN lost MANY trucks to this - When they catch fire you have SECONDS to get out - I saw them where the door handles no longer worked because the plastic linkage clips had melted

It appears (or was told) that the engine is a Chrysler 440, does that make any difference?
Also, is there no vin check for RV's? I tried to look it up but usual vin check sites say invalid VIN. I'm just wondering if this is all original parts or if something major has been replaced.
Thanks!
VINs were not standardized in format across manufacturers before 1981. It's probably just the age of the vehicle that's giving you trouble in looking it up online. RVs are vehicles and thus need VINs like any other vehicle. For motorhomes, the VIN is assigned by the chassis maker rather than the maker of the house part of the motorhome (assuming they are not the same company, which is nearly always the case).
