1971 WINNEBAGO BRAVE UPGRADE
Our lights were missing covers and a few of the bulbs were dead so it was a no brainer to upgrade to LED lighting. Considering that I currently only have two used car batteries as my coach batteries I decided I needed to do something about the incandescent lighting in the RV. Got a little more work done on the old girl. I've owned a few and plan on adding a transgo shift kit and larger capacity pan for sure. I definitely plan on getting the Th400 rebuilt. Definitely not a bad idea to change out all the brakes, they're dirt cheap on these old Chevy's. The brake line wasn't rusty, the nut just stripped out when I put a flare nut wrench on it. Yup, at just $5 and half an hour of my time it was a no brainer on the brake line. The 400 is a very easy trans to rebuild and there is a LOT of aftermarket support for it. It would be a real good idea to rebuild it now before it does. Also, if that transmission was run with any antifreeze in it at all it will let you down somewhere along the line, Silicates and valve bodies do not mix well.

If I were you I would replace all of the wheel cylinders and brakes and if one line was rusted and seized the rest are not far behind. Now to get the carpet for the front to match.

Plus I love they have a skirts to block the view of the seat mounts. The junkyard had some seat from a new Chevy Trailblazer in perfect condition but after sitting in these, I had to have them.

Convert from my points distributor to a HEI distributor I have an extra set of 70cc chamber heads in my shop that I plan on throwing on my engine to bump up the compression ratio to 9:1 to help with torque for towing. The 624 SBC heads on my engine are prone to cracking and have anemic 76cc chambers, giving me a compression ratio of 8:1. My girlfriend's dad is redoing all of our seat and bed cushions Buy a power converter that also chargers up the batteries The upper ladder mount on the RV caused a leak so I need to go in there and replace that wood Although I do plan on installing a transmission temperature gauge in the dash. The model we bought also comes with a cold weather bypass valve that bypasses the cooler until the fluid reaches operating temperature so cold climates shouldn't be a problem. I'm not a fan of the transmission cooler being inside the radiator and we live in southern California so most places we go won't be too cold. We purchased a True-Cool max transmission cooler as a stand alone transmission cooler (GVW rating of 40,000 and 45,000BTU rating). I'll have to figure that outĪfter sitting in these for a few minutes we think we're finally starting to understand the whole being RV people. sadly the RV doesn't have a grey water tank.
stereo works and with a tape adapter I already have we can play music from our phones
power converter works but doesn't charge the batteries not sure about the generator, it didn't come with a spark plug and haven't played with that yet not sure about the refrigerator since I'm working on it on an incline One I got it home I really started to go through it. The guy I bought it from let me fix it on his property, so over flushed the transmission fluid and bypassed the oil cooler in the radiator and only used a small auxiliary oil cooler and was able to drive it home. The radiator rotted out and mixed coolant with transmission fluid so it wasn't running. Refrigerator, 4k Onan Generator, Air conditioning everything is there, just not sure if everything works yet. 350CI SBC engine and Turbo-400 Transmission Smog exempt in California so I'll never have to pass any inspections!
