Wow, just saw this video! Thank you for featuring my RV! Lazy Daze are the best and I feel so lucky I was able to get one and honored to be part of your list!

I just wish some big rich guy bring back some these old classics back with modern twist

Just bought a 1970 c30 Chinook. One owner bought in Yakima in 1969, 48k miles, stored in a shop for the last 45 years. Zero rust for $15k. It's like a time machine.

OK, so the 4X4 Revcon was destroyed in a hurricane flood in Texas about 15 years ago. It was put up for sale just prior to the flood. It didn't sell, so it was not rescued when it was flooded. I'm pretty sure it was scrapped afterword. There were I believe 4 of those 4x4 coaches built. There was also 70's version one off built and sent to Egypt. Who knows what happened to that one. The later Revcons were built with the 454 and used a transfercase to run the driveshaft forward. There was at least 3 of those which were converted to a 502, and one to a 496. I converted mine to a 502, installed FI, converted to a 4 sp. It would spin the front wheels from a 20 mph roll, chirp going into second at 50 mph, and easily do over 100. I sold it about 5 years ago. It was a blast to drive.

That was a cool trip back through RV land. Good research Justin. Thanks for doing that.

Great as always, my dude. I'm SUCH a sucker for old classic rigs.

This was really fun! Definitely got me thinking about doing a little renovation on a badass vintage motor home 😂

I have seen a revcon like the one you talked about. I had a revcon and would go to the plant before they closed. I watched them build a 4X4 Revcon that was sold to go overseas. It was amazing.

Thanku lovely hope you an your gorgeous family are doing good x

Revcon's are bulletproof, at least with respect to water damage. My Revcon was left for years with all passenger side windows busted out as well as the three vent fans on the roof. It rained in this beast for three years before I bought it thinking I was going to have to be gutted out. But no, the floors and even the carpet are still good. I have no idea what type of plywood was used on the floors but I'm guessing it was marine plywood. That said the moisture separated the Formica from the cabinets, but no rot or flaking of high density particle board -- not your ordinary particle board. The only water damage was the Formica covered plywood on some of the wall areas under the broken windows.

These are great

Great video - thanks!

Love to find one them

And a decent b-190 airstream van

I love the AirStream

that revcon big one.... holy smokes

You're giving us some good ideas Justin!!! It's a bummer those helicopter homes no longer exist, we'd be on it 😂

That’s not all You have seen the Toyota Chinook or heard of the Toyota Chinook, but that’s not all people think that the Toyota Chinook are all the rage and they say that the Toyota Chinook is rare, but check out these rare Nissan Dotson Chinook. They are quite rare and seem forgotten. And there’s only a few of them left I’m not sure how many were originally built They also have the Nissan Dotson Sun raider Which the Toyota sun raiders are all the rage everybody knows about them but the Nissan ones and the Dotson ones not that many people know them. It seems like when they think of mini micro motorhomes, they think of brands such as Volkswagen. And Mercedes-Benz and sometimes Chrysler, and for other brands, they think of Toyota for the Asian and European models, but mostly for mini micro motorhomes based off of Asian cars and trucks, they mostly think of Toyota, and they basically forget about the rest of them. They forget Nissan Dotson they forget it Suzu, they forget Suzuki they forget Mitsubishi they forget Kia they forget Subaru they forget Honda And that’s kind of a problem because Toyotas are nice but if everybody is so hyped up about the Toyotas, then the others won’t sell that much and if they don’t sell that much, they stop producing them that’s what happens The Nissan Dotson sun raider is kind of rare Another RV/camper that is also kind of rare and this vehicle is also rare as well is in the 1980s there was a huge van craze Ford had its van Chrysler had its van General Motors had its van loads of people were buying vans especially minivans because they were hot There were all new they were new this started out in the 70s but it came into the 80s and 90s and other companies either started producing or started bringing vans over or designed a different body and put it on a truck chassis and bought it over, like Toyota the Toyota van Was a weird 80s van from Toyota. It could be ordered in a passenger van in a cargo van or even in a camper but the rare ones here that we are talking about specifically this one. These are the Nissan and Mitsubishi vans especially specifically about the Mitsubishi Nissan Dotson Had other campers they had some sun raiders as well but this is not it’s only camper but I believe this is the only Mitsubishi arrived camper that was sold in the US. You can get them as a passenger van or a cargo van or even as a camper and that was a rare option so if you see this then buy it Isuzu Is Suzu has sold cars for a while they’ve also sold trucks as well but during the 70s small vans and small trucks were popular especially during the 70s 80s and 90s when this trend started back in the early 70s in 1974 the oil crisis hit so that meant that manufacturers had to downsize is Suzu were sold here in the 70s as well but Isuzu had a truck. The truck was sold over here at first as a Chevy as the Chevy love truck. These were converted into campers as well but the 4 x 4 versions are rare you could get a factory 4 x 4, Chevy truck, or even rarer, a factory, 4 x 4, Chevy love camper But Isuzu they had sold their pick up here in North America so they didn’t have to use General Motors to re-badge them. They mostly called them the susu pick up truck, the Suzu pup or the Suzu space cab those were returned into campers as well. Subaru campers I am not sure how these were made in North America. They probably used a Subaru 360 Samba chassis to make them but over in the JDM market these are popular now if you see one imported you should try to get it. Early VW split bus campers The VW bus has been an iconic camper from the 60s and 70s but the camping shows were made in the 50s as well. Some people say that they were made from 1956 some people say that they go as early as 1951 if you see one of these early ones, then get it. VW dormobile These were a bit popular in the 70s, but not that common if you see an earlier one then you should pick it up I love these mini micro motorhomes. They’re pretty interesting.

Nice thx video/ but most rv parks don’t want older rvs in ugh

What about Prevosts?

Worth mentioning Corvair Ultravan ultralight monocoque based aluminum body. its about 3000 lbs only and it is shocking!

Chinook is pronounced Shinook. :D

Barth....

I think that 18,500 pound one would require a CDL

ill always be a toyota boy

Newton meters? Stop it!

Russian helicopter. Think about the irony

They did not go to the moon btw
