Hey what's going on I am new to the rv world and new to this form I just purchased a 1979 dodge cruisemaster with 33,000 miles, I've come to find that is the b300 chases small block 360, it has been a blast bringing her up to date a bit on the inside along with refreshing her up motor and Body wise on the outside, my family has done a lot of tent camping all mainly close to home and now that we have gotten this new toy everybody is so excited for the next road trip, so far things I have done to it. I've completely gutted the inside took the L shape countertop away and built a nice new one with a nice tiled top, instead of the bed in the rear we have turned it into a table/bed/sitting aria, we have ripped that 1970s shag Rugs up and put some nice clean new carpet down. Painted everything inside lol ,I've done a full tune up plugs/wires/distributor and cap,battery,filters, oil change, new altinator, and power steering pump. I still have to do the oil pan gasket,change trans fluid and rear fluid. The brakes seem to be sticking or dragging and it's hard to push on the brake pedal (seems real stiff), I was told I had to lift the engine to change the pan gasket witch so far seems like it's going to be the hardest task being I know the oil pumps in there and probably is going to be a pain to get at. There's a few other minor stuff to do but I'm really glad to see my family ain't the only ones riding around in a classic rv, and it seems as though there's quite a few experienced people here with similar Rvs that will be able to help me with problems I run into with this new family toy witch I'm positive I will need I will post pics when I get a chance.
