If you want a custom restored motor coach please follow the instructions below :) HAPPY CAMPING!
I started restoring micro motorhomes, campervans and classic motor coaches in 2012 and it's been so much fun to help people realize their dreams of travel and adventure. Now that demand has grown for my coaches it keeps me pretty busy with custom builds so if you want one you will need to call me to set up your own build. Everything you see in my RU-vid channel has already been spoken for so you can watch and enjoy but to get one of your own you will need to:
1. Call me and plan your build + estimate costs. ($40,000 - $100,000 is normal)
2. Pay 50% of the estimate as a down payment. (more if plans change during the build process)
3. Allow 3-6 months for completion from the start date.
Feel free to call with any questions

This country needs a lot more Blakes.

i have owned 7 motorhomes and the newer ones have the damn swirls (vinyl graphics) on the exterior. I hate them and wish the manufacturers would go back to the conservative horizontal stripes and the good looks of your motorhome. It has a very classy look to it. Thanks for posting this. Your build quality and designs are first class. Well done!

As the owner of a 1973 Minnie Winnie, I am greatly impressed by your craftsmanship, ingenuity, and attention to detail. If I lived near Colorado, I would much rather give you money to work on my current rig than put something into a new coach.

@captsam54 6 лет назад

I would love to have one of those.. The build quality was great back then...

I wish you could restore my pot damaged memories of 1975 as well as you have restored this vehicle. I believe you have missed putting some music from Peter Frampton to fully restore 1975 in your van. Rock on Dude!

You did an incredible job on this classic beauty...well done 👍

@gavc6442 2 года назад

Such quality, unlike the junky plastic overpriced crap of today’s rv’s. A classy old girl, well done.

@martylucas8557 5 лет назад

Very nice work!! I can tell you’re proud of what you’ve accomplished and you should be. I bet you learned a lot refurbishing the RV. Probably 80% of the work you did on it you’d never done before. You just went full steam ahead tackling the task, probably studying different RU-vid videos, etc. along the way. That would be how I’d have done it. Awesome Work!

@DodAederen 6 лет назад

Excellent job. How do you handle the mechanical and electrical repairs and updates? I would like to build a Travco 22', but 4x4 with a cummings.

@frybry01 6 лет назад

Very nice job but I've always thought painting walls cabinets makes everything look tacky. You make old rv interior look good with just reupholstering and new countertops and wallpaper in kitchen and baths.

@sueshevlin4807 6 лет назад

Absolutely stunning I love it, thank you for the video, well done enjoy bless

Man you did an awesome job on the dodge good to see the old girl back to her glory old self keep up the great work and it goes to show her you don't need new just loved and the older rv,s just feel better

Hey Blake, greetings from Mexico !! AWESOME job on the Travco !! A friend of mine purchased a Travco recently and asked me to look up info on the company. We are in Mexico, near the capital, any info you have regarding manuals and how things worked on a original 1975 Travco would be greatly appreciated . I need info about the black and grey water system so I can translate it for my friend. Thank you very much and great job on the restoration/ refurbishing of the Travco !

BIG THUMBS UP!!!! I couple of things that seemed to me that would have been cheap and better. Solid or glass backsplash, fried fish and wood,? The small night stand, soft close drawer guides vs sticky drawers. Easy for me to say since I was not there.

@madeinmichigan6773 5 лет назад

If you still own this rv? why would you make the bed a permanent twin bed situation? Those slates in front of the couches are made for a table to lay on to make that area one giant bed. I hope you plan on keeping this rig or changing the bedroom back for a couple and not Lucy and Ricky?

@nyxdoc2801 5 лет назад

That’s a great job. We love it here in Iran. I wish I could buy it and bring it here. Lots of love and respect from here in Iran to you in USA

@martylucas8557 5 лет назад

Nyx Doc, you’re not telling the truth and you know it. You know you don’t love it in Iran. You’re just saying that so the mullahs don’t have you and your family arrested. Why would you say.... “We love it here in Iran”. From what I understand many (most younger and middle aged) Iranians would like to do despicable things to the mullahs, then kick their asses and then take their country back. They would then like to have a more Western style culture, being able to dress and say what they want. So don’t even try to tell us that you love it there in Iran!

@martylucas8557 5 лет назад

Nyx Doc, it’s interesting that the “Up Next” videos include one about the Shah of Iran...lol!

@goofygurl4628 5 лет назад

Marty Lucas I think what Nyx Doc meant was: "We love (The Travco), here in Iran."

@IcelanderUSer 5 лет назад

When this rv is done right it competes with the Bowlus rv (that is based on a 1930s chrome deco design) for a smart design that could be remade today.

@noworriesmate8287 6 лет назад

Carry tools in a new coach...if you can work on it🤔😂 you are the only one ( besides me ) that has ever said you serviced the rear end. A few ( very few ) service their transmission! Love the external flaps! Miss the side vents in cars. Yes I’m old!! Most complete remolded I have seen. Great job!!

Johnny Cash LOVED THESE..

@barbibutton9619 5 лет назад

We loved Johny Cash. TY for that piece of JC facts. Very cool

@shiftintohigh5564 4 года назад

packingten - Johnny Cash’s brother was a factory service rep for Chrysler. He was 20 or so years prior to me. And that’s been decades ago. But stories were still around about him rolling up his sleeves and taking off his tie to go back in the dealership service dept to fix cars. This was on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I think his name might have been Roy. May have had something to do with Johnny liking Travco’s???

@mannyj4751 5 лет назад

I have a 1973 AVCO, mostly original. It needs a total restoration but I lack the funds. I'm living in it in The California Delta. It's a 28footer and I'd rather have something longer with a separate bedroom. But it's home for now.

Hi Blake. Nice work. Could you elaborate on the right front flip seat that can position forward or backwards. I need similar brackets as ours is missing. Did you buy them somewhere or were they original Travco parts?

That was the original equipment it came with. I just had it reupholstered.

@arieljoyfine8833 4 года назад

I love what you did with this. How much would a remodel like this cost? I assume your quote of $40K to $100K does not include the cost of the coach. Thank you in advance for answering my question.

@billschipper1718 4 года назад

I like it. Great job fixing it up. My dad had a 74 Travco so I recognize a lot of the inside. The frig was a 3way, roof ac, but the back was just a bed. Also did you use a splitter on the battery. My dad put in a truck battery like you did but had another battery for just the engine. The engine alternator ran to the splitter and could charge both batteries at the same time.
