Vintage RV upgrades
Hey everyone! I’m back with more questions. Recently purchased a 1977 dodge Sportsman RV. 43k original miles, in excellent shape for its age. All appliances in working condition. Picked it up for $750...

Well everyone she’s almost road ready. Picking up a couple radiator hoses and today around noon then she’s ready for the journey. Also need to get the tires swapped on the way out of town! The closest place is 45 minutes away so wish me luck driving on the old tires so far....
Everything done so far;
Oil and filter
Air filter
Coolant flushed and filled
Thermostat
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires
Cap and rotor
Radiator and heater hoses
Bought some belts as back ups but didn’t replace them yet
Still need to pick up a couple batteries, and some kind of battery monitor so they don’t run dry. Having a hard time finding one, even the RV store didn’t have anything. I can get it off amazon but camping this weekend wouldn’t have it. How could I keep an eye on my deep cycle batteries?
Unfortunately the exhaust manifold gasket did not fix my problem. I discovered it’s not really leaking where the manifold meets the intake, but leaking out where the manifold meets the exhaust pipe. I cranked it down tight but it leaks a ton. Idk if it’s cracked or what! I’ll have to take it to an exhaust shop once I recover from all the money spent lol
