Oh, and by the way: it's paid for is our mantra

I am still working through all the repairs to mine but its paid for as I go.
I don't think anyones dying statement ever contained the words "I wish I had spent more time in the office", so lets go somewhere!
I bought it running for $1000. Since then it has been mostly cosmetic stuff and fixing the loose ends of several other "upgrades." My most recent bit of fun involved putting in a city water hook up since the only hook up it had involved the tank for the previous pressurized system. You can imagine my surprise when I also discovered that the new plastic tank while a nice thought, had no return air outlet.
It is a M300 chassis with a 318. I don't think I have read about too many of these in here compared to the 440's. I had a local garage redo the brakes in all four corners. It was a bit pricey but I simply don't trust myself with brakes of this vintage and knowing what to do and spot on something this old.
There are several here with 318s, so you're not alone.
Ah, the fun of fixing the piece of junk 'fixes.' I think that's most of what we do on our rigs, personally.
If you're not comfortable doing the brakes yourself, paying to have them done is definitely worth it. Being able to stop is incredibly important

I have a 1970/1969 Explorer on a M300 chassis with a 318-3 engine. (I also have a 1972 Executive on a M375 chassis and a 1974 Explorer in a RM300 chassis.)
If you have problems with the brakes -- especially if you find yourself having to pump them up -- let me know. These older motorhomes had a special brake bleeding procedure that many repair shops don't know about. (Especially if you have the separate booster/slave-cylinders mounted on the frame rails.)
