rayin Report post Posted May 19, 2021 Would that have had a flat 6 engine?. Talk about slow climbing mountain grades. I don't think Ford came out with the flat 8 until 1949 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted May 19, 2021 They had the Flat 8 (3.9L) in 1941 on cars, so I think that's in the flyer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted May 19, 2021 I think for a futuristic concept car they might have used a V12. Like the one from the 1932 Lincoln. Introduced in 1932, the Lincoln V12 was essentially a Ford flathead V8 design with a longer block and heads to accommodate four extra cylinders. With a displacement of 267 cubic inches (4.4 litres) the V12 could deliver 110 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque, an impressive figure at the time.

dbenoit Report post Posted May 19, 2021 That was an interesting video to watch. I like seeing those "old day" campers. I did like the van camper with the cannon parked out front at the bridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted May 19, 2021 I think it is fun that all the stock footage is of older "vintage" campers and few shots of newer ones. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grinding/lapping the valves was major engine work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted May 19, 2021 wildbill the video is IMO quite accurate and informative. It answers many questions I read from new RV owners too. I was surprised it addresses the current lack of quality control by RV mfgrs. Thanks for posting the video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebill308 Report post Posted May 20, 2021 Kay if you go to Enchanted Trails RV Park & Trading Post on rout 66 you can rent that trailer and spend the night in it. He has several vintage trailers for rent. He also has some period tow cars to go with them. http://www.enchantedtrails.com/ Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted May 20, 2021 Its not what I saw in that clip! Its what I didn't see! For the last year, its been a overwhelming demand and no supply....So by the time we get the RV we ordered, 4 to 6 months past original delivery date, its outdated and quality control has gone! Currently happening with Entegra, over 200, 2021 coaches waiting on parts and the 2022 is at dealership for sale! That's becoming a PR nightmare.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) I came across something fun while checking out a place to stay before going to Gillet. While looking at Cody Wyoming Trout Ranch I zoomed in and drooped the little orange man for a street view. Well you do it and tell me what you see. Drop it in the middle. Let me know what you see.

wayne77590 Report post Posted May 21, 2021 The Teepee has an open top for smoke to escape from the open fire. More modern ones have a flap. Just don't build the open fire next to the edge!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
