Rogue_Alphonse Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 After a month of prepping (and a vacation thrown in to delay things a week), my free RV did a 35 mile drive Mostly without issue. We're gonna pretend we didn't smell burning brake pad from a stuck caliper. It hadn't been on the road since 2015. So far all I have put in to it was a $27 fuel pump and four almost new tires for $220. The shop even mounted them for free! (excuse the potato FB Marketplace photo). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you'll have to rebuild or replace the calipers, and then bleed them. And adding brake fluid? Well good luck adding fluid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(well... it's on my parents' property so they can do whatever with it, they'll probably leave it for when friends come for a weekend or whatever) Either way it has served me, and them while they renovated their house, quite well... even in the winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan is to get a wood decked car trailer and pull my Jeep on it, and then when I park up, use the Jeep to back the trailer in against the RV so I have a deck to walk out on to. I even have a pull-out step from a pop-up I cut up to attach to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Alphonse Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Some progress: Yanked wet carpet, installed RV dryer 9000. The floor has dried out almost totally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
