We're making progress ;).
Yeah I saw that YouTube video. VERY same, except that one looks a bit rougher, or maybe a lot rougher!
On Nadaguides I found Jubilee was 1985-1988 so that's too new. I HALF think P10/20/30 is associated with the GM Express van and style that replaced the Vandura era G10/20/30 in about 1996? But that is an assumption unverified.
I'm not interested in manufacturer due to dealer and parts help, just the fun of knowing history of my things. :)
Interesting to hear one person's "Jimmy Mini" was on a Dodge chassis! My assumption was Jimmy meant GMC just like their version of Blazer. Oh! But the front house cab-over says GMC! And at 1977, these were being built at the same time as the Class A factory unit. But I seriously doubt GM would have done a Class C in their factory by this stage of their game. It had to be contracted out to an RV builder.
We had a Minnie Winnie by Jamee in the past. It was much shorter, had a Chevy, maybe about a 79-84? I think it had the longer front nosed hood. It used the 400 CID V8. But it was kind of rough. Even so it handled those dirt roads nice.
I like the idea of the old school mechanics, so much easier to work on for a do-it-yourselfer. And keeping it cheap for the kids to mostly use (and get out with us) while we do our thing in Lil' Queeny (TC forum).
I may learn more today when I go see the title and other paperwork. I'll keep you posted.
