the nice machine Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I tried to join a forum for beaver owners but they wanted me to join some club and pay money before i could post... so i'll just post it here on good old ratsun! I have been negotiating on this beast for a while with a friend of mine, we finally agreed on a price, i'm picking it up this week and moving it to some land my girlfriend and i just rented. it's old, but it is in decent shape. i don't plan on driving it much, i plan on living in it. Since i have a girlfriend i will also be remodeling the interior, she' not into the 1984 grandparents on vacation look that it has. anyhoo i'll keep it short, these are the only pics i have right now but will post tons more very soon. you've got to see the dash board it looks like a russian space station. 2 Quote Link to comment

hitch Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Looks great, P30 454 chevy chassis? Polyurethane bushings and bilstein shocks go a long way to improve drivability. Take a picture of the roof and the current TV antenna, I may have a nice new digital I can send you. Quote Link to comment
hitch Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 It looks like upgraded mirrors, nice! Missing the main awning, that will be expensive, wish you were closer, could help you with a bunch of RV accessories. How many miles? Any leaks at the exhaust manifolds? Pop Pop Pop? very common on that era. I might know of a US Gear overdrive sitting around at a customers shop. Let me know if you would be interested and I can see what he would take for it.

darrel Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Don't plan on going to far with the tires on it. They are probably old and can blow out on the highway. Quote Link to comment
Will Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 If you post it on ratsun, you might have to lower it. I think it says so in the rulebook. ...and I want to see some photos of the cosmonaut camper dashboard. Quote Link to comment
