This 1973 WINNEBAGO Brave D18 is a blast from the past and it's FOR SALE 

Chad n Jolene, you probably already know this but I will say it anyways, in my 44 years of experience with motor homes and camper trailers,....this is my thoughts. If the top back left is separating like he said then this most likely a structural problem, these vintage campers mostly used 2x2 wood for the framing ( structure ) of the walls and often the roof as well, a common problem is water infiltration due to lack of proper maintenance. Every 60-90 days you are suppose to go around the RV and look at the joints and check the condition of the sealant, many people neglect to do this especially around the roofs edge, thus as you travel down the road and the RV moves it flexes ( this is normal ) however the joints will move back and forth a little and thus eventually the seal will fail and this is why it has to be checked often and resealed or repaired BEFORE it becomes an issue. SO water must have gotten in over time the frame in that corner is compromised aka: ROTTEN and thus there is no more structural integrity and that is why it is separating and actually allowing more water to infiltrate adding to the problem. either the exterior or interior wall will have to be removed in that area and the wooden frame will have to be repaired, sounds bad but everything is fixable, just depends on how much time and money you are willing to invest fixing it, CAREFUL consideration should be taken as there is a high probability that there is black mold behind that.

Sounds like as good as it looks

Looks like a bunch of roof work to me, maybe not right now but at some point. Your first heavy snow fall will cave that tin roof in no problem is my guess, unless you are going to replace it or reinforce it. Good luck

What a frigging money pit that thing would be. No plumbing, electrical, rustic cover up interior. If it was free it would be too much.

I saw one of these flip over once near Woodstock Ontario and it popped like a balloon. Belongings and debris were scattered everywhere.

What's up with the rolled up Levis , Chad ?

I'd be scared to buy the RV with it's past history of leaks. Dry Rot can do big damage...

Looks like a money pit

My guess is that they covered up all of the water damage and rot with the barn board interior no toilet or sink or heat system

Don't do it chad been there done that.

Well motorhome appears to have some issues. I would offer $500 or walk away. its a money pit. no washroom or kitchen.

That RV has a filon roof. Similar to fiberglass. Since it has been leaking, there is most likely rotten wood at the corner of wall and roof. Most likely will need rotten wood replaced then resealed.

Run, run far.

I don't think I would like this too much. With the changes made to the inside it may bee too top heavy.

No air in the tires can't be good for them. Those rims got to be cutting into those tires.

A big fat NO on the Winnie. Looks like a Red Green special.

Hey Chad I had the same exact Winnebago motor home 20 yrs ago . and the only problem I ever had with it was vapor locking if the temperature was over 90 degrees . it would shut off going down the road and I would turn off the key count to 5 and start it up and drive but never even slowed down much lol. It would go 10 or 15 miles and do it again , after 10 times of that I got the idea to wrap aluminum foil around the fuel line right at the front of the carburator, squeezing it tight to the metal fuel line and it never did it again. but those motor home's have character unlike the flat fronted giant windshield vacation boxes they have now.

All i can think of is Breaking bad. Great work Chad. Love your content

The ONE thing I did notice Chad would change to the interior is take down the old Coca-Cola sign & replace it with a vintage Pepsi sign hahaha

No No No

Put a pt pump 5.9 Cummins in it and get 18 mpg.

I've had those already, this one looks like it needs a lot of work to be really nice, but, I'm not the one who is buying it.

How did the suburban get crashed?

Yikes what is with all the friggin hate on this video, the same people calling this a money pit are the same people spending $150,000 to air bag some crappy off year 60’s Cadillac restomod . I own a 1968 Ute Liner, a lesser known brand than Winnebago (Dodge Chassis and Running a gear) . It is extremely well built, I have lived in it on and off for about two years and are currently traveling the Northeast with it , it’s all original. No excessive mold and minimal money out in it. I think they guy did a super creative budget approach to the interior And so what if the guy wants to re do it?? Like it’s a fun project, I work in the auto restoration industry and I swear it is comments and attitudes like this that make me miss the seasonal car shows.

Chad,Did you get the bumper back from being chromed for Elvis

Good evening jolene and chad hope you had a wonderful weekend and thank you for sharing it with us

What you going to do with that

I think it’s pretty cool merchandise wagon and put a big rig chrome shop bumper on it for Jolene and a Train horn 😎💰The Merch Money Wagon 🚌🎲

If it runs and drives OK and is solid, it could be a good "merch-mobile".

I can remember having that same big toy camper as a kid and sitting on it and riding it around.

Over all it's a good video something a little different. The 2 word's of the day is Warped Board's. even at the drive threw, if someone ask how I am doing, I will say, feeling like a couple warped boards. He got me when he threw in what he did at the hardware store. Good Job Bad Chad and Jolene.

OMG! Brought back some great memories! We went to Alaska with my parents in 1992 in their ‘72 Winnebago. It was a 24 foot with a 440.

Hey Chad. Not sure about this one. We have a 1973 Superior 25 ft. 33k original miles. Stored inside for 32 years. Went thru it mechanically and it’s great. Superior is all Steel Frame Construction. Galvanized exterior. Kinda Ugly but it’s cool. Enjoy your Shows.

in the 1970s one of my Uncles was a Executive for Xerox and he and my Aunt used to go Camping a lot they opened up a Rental Business in the Washington, D.C. area for RVs and they bought a Fleet of those Winnebagos they used to drive one to New York to visit family and my Dad was always amazed on how much Gasoline cost them Gas was usually about .30cents a gallon and i remember one time my Uncle put almost $80.00 to top off the fuel tanks

Don't buy it. Junk

None of mine or anyone elses bees wax what the owner is asking ...but hopefully not too MUCH . A lot of good comments here why NOT to buy this ...but again if it is basically going to be parked & driven on short road trips ...maybe it's worth buying 🤔 ... for the 😎 factor & a neat place the store the BAD CHAD / Jolene merch 😊

Breaking Chad!

I don't know how they allow them on the road when they are new, theres nothing to them structurally. Unless you plan on welding a box and building it over, its just a bunch of composite board , thin plywood , tin and gorilla glue, mostly gorilla glue. When you find one that looks decent, it has been parked in the same spot for 30 years, once you go down the highway a 100 miles it will all come apart. It's great if you are going to park it in the driveway and sell out of it , put a rubber roof on it . I wouldn't plan on going far, or often with it.

Wow camper van is this the next build

WinNObuy O fun project but I don't think so 🤔 . Thumbs-up Jolene 👍 and 👍 Chad great content

Love your road trips. Nice break from the shop.

Pass…all that wood makes a lot more of weight to haul around. You can bet the original walls we made from something light. This vehicle will nickel and dime you to death. Another post said in was a “money pit” and it is. You’ll spend a lot more money and time on fixing this than you would having it a pleasure and recreation vehicle…

Think I would get rid of the Cherry Bombs and just run a pair of good sounding mufflers ...just my opinion .

I like the old maroon station wagon. The Mercury wagon they were already getting smaller not my style. Most people don't have bigger families today for the big wagons.

Keep looking redone rolling man cave no electrical, plumbing, all structure covered up cant see what other hidden water damage done added weight with remodel Find an airstream. Their retro cool This thing when back out on the road will flex itself to splinders.

CHAD !! grab Jolene and run like hell, are you insane. That's not your next project.

WoW old Winnie Looks Tired ......... I hope you dont Pay to Much for her, 1 grand top's

Never buy an old moldy Win-a-big-oh ... Unless you plan on gutting her for restoration .

this thing is a lot lizard, a piece of crap. steer clear of it. unless you want to part it out. if you get it dirt cheap , get ready to rebuild it from the ground up. cool insides though! ain't worth it.

Just picked one up today for $600 needs work for sure, but definitely going to be a fun project

Sad to see all the original features ripped out. If you're going to convert one you could do one ultra modern inside with modern equipment

No bath no kitchen? I'd take a second look at the little Mercury Bobcat. Baby bro to your '62...

We are currently renovating a 1978 Minnie Winnie Winnebago. It's so much fun!

It comes not look to bad with a new set of tires oil change transmission oil change what I should do with a the roof leaving puts this n peace sheet meat and weld it in that should stop the leak and great video chad pug the 70s paint job on it to great video chad

I hope you didn’t buy that . It’s going to be a nightmare . Trust me I’ve owned and sold a lots of them in the past .

Never let the deflated tires sit with the weight on them. Those tires are junk now, even if they were new. It splits the sidewalls.

IT'S JUNK, STAY AWAY!! You can do way better!! ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦

Joellen rolling closet great idea put out under a open carport next to the shop Would be easy fix for the rooftop cool looking log cabin look inside

A four-wheeler whizzes by on the street then a farm tractor. Just another day in Nova Scotia.

At least if it runs you could drive it to the junkyard

Love the road trips.

I always enjoy your road trips, very interesting vehicles. Bill

The Mercury Pinto is very KOOL never seen one like that The Winnebagos is Neat

I can't afford it but could totally use it. can I jus have it?? plz chad

I think a Barth motor home would be a good merchandise show room and they have a look that fits your style.

Thought this was same car as the brady bunch wrong, very cool wagon, awesome stuff cheers 🍺🍻🍺🍻 KC Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸😎👍

That vehicle would be a challenge to make Bad Chad cool.

so rare now they're a hot commodity gets those running & driving great and they fetch good $$ in the states

Chad looks so overwhelmed in the motor home 😳😳😳😳. Sooo many options 🤯🤯🤯

Due what you want ,and makes you happy ,buy ,dont buy, who cares you both are great.

God!! I don't think you could PAY me to take the minnie winnie. ....lol!!

Kiss of death’’so your firm on the price let me talk it over with jolene’ That’s a no

Just buy something modern.....this looks like a headache

Looks super heavy and a wind catcher. I would pass

Love your road trip . Seems like people in NS have all the old cool stuff ! Can't wait to see what's next . Keep up the good work Chad , Jolene & Fina

Jolene wants that Bad Chad flexible chrome on that bumper

I would love to buy the bobcat wagon, please shoot me some info please.

I remember when those motor homes were very popular.

Gas hog for sure!

Them can be bought even today for 4 to 800bucks .

don't buy it. you will be ever fixing water leaks.

Thanks for bringing us along. Thanks for the hard work you two

two tons of added wood. must be heavy as hell.

We need some of those cool old cars in the states. Send us some chad. LOL

Run Don’t Walk from this bit of Lawn Art!

Good to see you and Jolene have a day off👍

Drive it to California and I'll buy a tee shirt!

Buy an enclosed trailer for your merchandise .

Great to get out and about and see these cool old vehicles

That would be awesome to Vlog from or do a podcast from

2x4 "bend" is called the "crown"

Some nice cars but that motorhome is junk

Don't chop the winnebago....LOL.

Redo the butyl tape under the roof caps
