Re: getting 1988 bounder 31k up and running
" I have an 83 chevy chassis, and the bottom of the gas tank has 2 plugs, one at each end, at a corner, that can be removed, to drain the tank" This helps a ton thanks!!! STBRetired wrote: If you want to keep it running well for a long time, you should pull the motor and do a full rebuild on it I was thinking about just getting it running for a couple years and when/ if the motor goes ill drop it and replace it then. I was looking at rebuilds and there only about 2-5k so if i can get some use out of it while i save to replace it would be best. At this point were only looking at weekend trips down the I5, basically where can we get on a full tank round trip.520Views0likes0CommentsRe: getting 1988 bounder 31k up and running

That along with the hoses and belts was my plan. Any suggestions for emptying the gas tank? I was looking for a siphon pump and cleaning the tank with muriatic acid. I looked up the chassis info like suggested and ordered a manuel so I know what to buy. It is a chevy 454! I have a friend who can get me deep cycle marine batteries so im hoping i can find a match there to save some coin. Thank you all for the advice and anymore you have for me!519Views0likes0Commentsgetting 1988 bounder 31k up and running
I recently bought a house from my aunt and it came with an RV. I took trips in this thing as a kid and the interior is perfect. The problem is it hasn't been started in 10 years. Prior to that my grandmother whose it was has it fully serviced so she and my aunt could go on a trip but she was diagnosed with terminal cancer and that didn't happen. I wanted to start a basic restore of the motor to see if it will fire but I cant find any resources on it other than its most likely a Chevy 454. Does anyone know where i can get a parts list to start with? I need to find info on the basics oil filter plugs wires hoses belts. Then I can start draining fuel and replacing batteries.4.5KViews0likes18Comments
