Hey you all,
I am new to the RV/Motorhome world and I recently purchased a 1978 Birchaven with an Oldsmobile 403 (about 2 weeks ago) and am getting ready to drive it from Portland to the New York area.
It’s a little more than a 2900 mile drive.
The vehicle itself looks good, and has had some new replacements but for the most part, still original.
61k original miles.
- Currently we’re getting the brakes completely changed out since that was the main concern.
My main question for you guys and gals is if you think it could make the coast to coast drive of the bat or if you have any suggestions on what I should do, things to look out for, etc.
Thanks!
