I see the other types of RV's having this type of thread. I did a search and could not find one here. :) Yesterday, I drove mine to work to "excercise" it. I have driven it to work twice in the ...

I aint gonna argue about whether I got a class B or C.. Its a 1984 Chevy Camper van, Champion, transtar, has stove, sink, refrigerator Hotwater heater, toilet, shower, etc.. I got it cheap, and have put close to 1000 into it already, and still have problems,, I got mad and was gonna sell it, but then dove back into fixing things,, finally, things are coming together.. Nana started pulling contact paper off the bathroom walls,, then I came up with the idea of putting linoleum up with liquid nails, and caulking the corners, adding some composite trim, and it isnt looking bad, will finish it up tomorrow. Got the a/c working, blower was froze up, so shot it up with some wd 40 and it is working/cooling nicely.. Tore the headliner down from the ceiling, after getting tired of seeing it hanging, so primered and painted it, then put trim on the cabinets to cover up our big brush mistakes. lol
Installed a new Aqua magic v toilet, but one of the bolts came through, and its a bit wobbly,so have to remove it again.
replaced air filter on the generator
Got my wiring problems straightened out mostly, still some that someone else is going to have to fix..
drained fresh water tank (had added bleach to it, drained, filled back up, drained, now has white vinegar in the whole system, will drive it around the block and let it slosh around some, then drain again a couple more times,,
Gas guage doesnt work, fixed the ground wire on it, but still doesnt work so someone else will have to see about it, along with the thermostat guage.
and the dreaded tire issue,. 8x16.5 tires.. and too chicken to go to tire place to hear what the damages will be.. Im probably putting more money into it than it will be worth, but if it can get me to where Im going and back for a couple years or so, I will be happy, (I think),, just aint gonna pay the prices they want for some of these rigs..If I can make this one comfortable, quiet, and everything working, I still think I may get my money back out of it. The engine is great, the generator is great, still havent tried the hot water heater (or any of the LP) Refrigerator doesnt work on ac or dc, but may be level problem. anyways,, thats what Ive been up to for the last several days,, The class A deal fell through when the bank turned me down,, credit score of 816 and they wouldnt cough up some money. Even when using my house. So there must be something else going with the economy, I reckon.
Yall have a great week, I have 10 days to get it ready for july 4th weekend camping trip.. I have stoves, coolers, and dutch ovens, lol,, I dont need all that stuff to work "right now" just make it livable.
