We Bought A 1987 RV That Might Actually Survive A 2,000 Mile Road Trip | Gas Monkey Garage

This 1987 Foretravel Grand Villa has been preserved so well it looks like someone parked it in a time capsule. Richard Rawlings brings the vintage motorhome to Gas Monkey Garage with one mission: make sure this nearly 40-year-old machine is ready for whatever comes next.

The crew calls in an RV expert to inspect the Ford 460, generator, AC units, batteries, leveling system, windows and roof. It is clean, original and supposedly bulletproof—but that does not mean it is ready. Then again, this thing looks like it could handle a trip across America without breaking a sweat.
