There would be greater need to lube the driveshaft u-joints, and to change the oil in the differential, if only to remove moisture and check for metal filings. And they should pay close attention to the health of their cooling system a clean radiator, young hoses, proper thermostat, good fan clutch, that stuff. Winnies with the 318 could be had with the optional 440, for good reason.įurthermore, they should add an auxillary tranny fluid cooler ? I would add it ahead of and in addition to the one in the bottom of the radiator. Named after a Native American tribe that was from the area in Iowa where Winnebago Industries was originally based, the company is now headquartered in neighboring Minnesota and is still going strong after over six decades of making camping more. If they want to tow the car routinely through the Cascades, the Rockies, etc ? then they should figure on driving the Mazda up/down all of the steeper grades separately.
#1974 WINNEBAGO BRAVE MOVIE#
Enjoy movie nights with the retractable HDTV on a power lift that’s cleverly concealed in the buffet. Step inside and you’ll find innovation around every retro-styled corner, highlighted by the sofa and dinette that convert to beds in the full-wall slide (31C). In most states you are required to have brakes on any thing you tow that is over 3000# total, though even a tow dolly with brakes fills that requirement in Virginia. It takes more than a throwback design to win RV of the Year. And going down them in 2nd gear also, unless they add brakes to the towed vehicle. On level roads it would be no problem, but in the mountains of Tennessee/West Virginia/New England, they would need to get used to going up hills in 2nd gear a lot slower than the diesel pushers. It depends on where, how much and how far: If they only plan to tow the Mazda on summer vacations, or the occasional trip, and not often in the mountains west of the Mississippi ? I would say its workable. condition: good cylinders: 8 cylinders fuel: gas odometer: 56500 paint color: white rv type: class A size / dimensions: 21 x 7.9 x 11 title status: clean transmission: automatic. with room to pass.I have not towed a car with the 318, but I have towed a 3000# load with my 413, and I would say. When was the last time 15 adults were in a 23' 1974 motorhome. She is a beauty and was on display at FMCA and Fleetwood Rally in Goshen last week. Other than a parachute, few things look as non-aerodynamic as a vintage Winnebago. And also to Newmar Rally in Michigan u p.Īnd a good chance of going to Monaco rally in CoosBay Oregon and the FMCA International Rally in Oregon in 2014. We will be traveling to Michigan Wit this Sat. Anyone that can help us display Nelly at national WIT would be a huge help. We are requesting to be invited to Winnebago National Rally in Iowa this year. I will post more specific photos as completion proceeds.
Here is a sample of some of Nelly's renovations. Nelly has had several updates done over the years and the final renovation was started almost 36 months ago. Then to Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone with my Father in law and his buddy and several camping trips to Potato Creak State Park in Indiana.
Nelly loved to travel to Silver Lake Sand Dunes most weekends thru the summers for 7 years. I pulled the extension hose from the front of the radiator and got a good look inside. After replacing the thermostat with the proper one, flushing the system every which way possible and installing a new water pump it still ran hot. Something practical we could use for a relaxing road trip in the states before we head home to St. Our recently purchased 1974 Winnebago Brave with a 440-3 engine kept running hot. I have always been attached to Nelly my 1974 Winnebago Indian. Originally we’d planned to buy a pretty inexpensive, probably very ugly, RV in fairly good working order. Here is my first RV as I have been in the service industry most of my life. It's been a years of a project, Labor of love.
