I also replaced the original gas stove and oven with an induction cook top and convection oven. And guess what - my coach is older than his!
What happened afterward? I have put 60,000 miles on my new and improved coach. I keep passing the new coaches on the grades!
Sure glad that I didn’t “stick a fork in it”!!
Thanks for the testimonial.
If you want to do something, you will find a way.
If you don't, you will find an excuse.

Oh God! There might be 3 more years just working on the engine and transmission?
No. Even IF necessary, rebuilding/replacing an engine and tranny, is not a 3 year job, at least for this rig.

You are correct but if you are contributing absolutely nothing to the thread then why even be here? Seriously? You just want to knock someone's work? Surely, you must have something better to do with your time. Just avoid the thread and move on, it's the decent thing to do.
Hey, we are all here for one of probably 4 reasons.
1. Learn something.
2. Laugh at the work/worker.
3. Shake your head in disbelief.
4. Just like traveling down the road in an rv ... wanting to see what is around the next corner, or over the next hill. Ya just never know what's coming. Lol.
Worst case scenario - It's good for a laugh. Enjoy!

I am reading this not becaause I want to do these things, but for the fact I have 79 vette that I bought new. I am hoping someday when the need arises that someone will love it enough to do to it what fulltimin is doing to his rig. My girl has almost 70,000 miles on her and has original paint. All original. As far as vettes go, she is nothing special, but shes mine and I love her.

There are 24 hours in every day - it all depends on how you choose to use them.

You can block me and never see another post of mine. Or mind your own business. The choice is yours.

Back in the day I built a few "Hot Rods" for a few of my customers. Changing the drive train of a Model A to a 327 CI Chevy or a 40 Ford coupe to a Straight 8 Buick, or a Cab-over 1960 Ford Econoline to a 500 HP V8 with a C4 lockout trans and 12 inch differential, or a Nash Metropolitan to a Austin Healy 4 banger, or a...
The destination is appreciated BUT the journey contains the HIGHS. "ITS THE ART OF THE DEAL."

You may remember a little while back, I took my saw horses apart because they annoyed me, based on how I built them.
I have to build a new set. I really miss having something to lay plywood and lumber on to work with.
The good news is, earlier this year, 2 x 3 x 8 foot lumber was about $5.50.
I checked tonight and they are down to $3.25.
Time to go to Lowes.
