the inside is just awesome looking it's got the perfect amount of just like this nineties funk but it's the cool kind of nineties funk not like the weird Floridian grandma pink vomit stuff like a lot of the older Provo's have a viable dually they had some good times you only have one bad time and in there being a good time I may not have stayed in Oklahoma I weren't for this thing wouldn't let me leave checking to make sure I didn't leave anything in there I think we're good so we're not gonna try to attempt to get out of his driveway with the trailer so he's gonna hook up the metal trailer one last time done deal everything's signing all that we just hooked up my truck and trailer he's got my dually over there and I'm about to pilot this thing solo for the very first time I've driven these a couple times but with somebody else with me so this would be a little different learning experience for sure I pretty much has got to get out there hang a left and that takes me right to I 20 onward we go and stopping just to fill it up that's the way make sure everything is good they fill out this I believe this one yep and either hydraulics in there but that's the fuel tank of I'm opening on both sides it's pretty cool so I'm all right in it's the food well I'll fueled up I just ate actually sat over there to eat shouldn't eat and drive anyway with something this huge there's a lot more responsibility but pulled out here take a better look you better look at it from a distance now this paint job looks at this because this was originally a lund sir juniors and every one of these is configured individually by the purchaser they're built to order so he picked out this paint job everything in the interior that was all al I don't know if he was married at the time his wife had any input I would assume probably not because it looks like a dude picked everything but man I really normally the Escalade will be back there but I'm friggin sick would be of my truck with silver and it had a little black thing kind of on the bedside a little big sent in from LA sixty series making some noise for series 64 you particulars out there [Applause] that's gonna be gone it's so far back there you can barely hear it anyway like you're nothing driving it is just like road noise basically it drives great for a 95 496 built 95 Oh out here at a little Regional Airport near Memphis boy Adrian Berryhill his dad got a little hangar spot over there with plenty of parking in here set up shop I've got to worry about anybody and that's with my stuff I drove something like 670 miles today get used to this thing now first hundred miles or so we're real like check on the ears every two seconds what's getting better and I actually had a really crazy thing happened it was originally Allen for juniors and I had heard it was Robby Gordon's but I hadn't validated it yet so I called Robbie Gordon Motorsports assistant Lee he picks up I said I got a random press which is like well I got a random answer what's up I was like I just bought this motorhome and I heard I was told that Robbie used to own it but I haven't been able to validate it I know the Allen spur jr. is the original owner that's for sure but I don't know if it's Robbie supply you might know she's like oh well what it looked like I'm like well it was black and silver with this like racing with the checkered flag thing kind of down the side and she was like I've never seen it before hold on a minute so she goes and I'm on hold for like four minutes kind of like what the heck is going on either like I don't know and then like four minutes later she comes back and she's like he's still there and like yeah she's like she's like I got Robbie here he's got some stories for you I'm like oh sick so I'm talking to Robbie Gordon on the phone and this was his bus the paint job is not original when we bought it from unser it was like white and I'd like some orange and purple and arrows that he said he had this all sent it off had all stripped down to the bare aluminum and repainted the way you see it now and he said he drove this thing all over the place like this was like his rig it wasn't like it wasn't like a driver drove it around he just stated it attracts like this was Robbie's deal he said that he also had a boat that matched it and he would try to find some pictures and send them to me which will be freaking awesome there's a lot more that he told me about this but I don't want to ruin that what to say that for a future video because uh next time I'm in North Carolina I'm gonna go over there and meet up with him he did tell me all that which is pretty cool so I can't wait to uncover some more history on this thing and even during the Unser days I don't know anything about that but maybe we'll find out I'll let you know a little tip it was cool I can't wait to see where that goes Roberts eating like a super awesome dude over the phone and he was pretty pumped to hear that his little motor home was back out running around he said he didn't know where it went and the next owner was actually pretty interesting too who he sold it to but you're gonna have to wait to see that one yeah there's all kinds of room in here and nobody's around like wake up raining so I'm gonna take the opportunity to practice backing up with the trailer and you know getting used to maneuver in this thing in tight places just so I can figure out what I can and can't do with it now we're out here next morning Boogedy Boogedy custom automotive where adrienne works let's see if we can find him found and he's in there wearing headphones right out of here Frasier hey what's the password Oh 16 on TVs double password you're loud Oh bro can I close that heart honestly I would be afraid to turn on a UV light in here maybe but it's only gonna get worse so except freaking crucify her what do they call this stuff you know what it kind of does look like just like it looks like that forged carbon yeah forged carbon but this is on the new this was built in 1995 so I don't think that's actually forged carbon but I think maybe we're gonna say yeah no one's ahead of their time still haven't got situated this isn't this I like that that doesn't even work anymore no he were he replaced it with like a different one but you feel like a bus driver wait check this out it's got this like interesting horn thing apparently there's empty water bottle in there this is all just remnants whatever just got left in here it'll go out here and honk stuff I don't know how how exactly to work it but it's got like a million songs in here oh I see so he's got the whole thing what song you want to hear cotton eye Joe how about that Oh God I'm strong too you know I mean you really can't try this one needed no you can't wait here's the thing if you get an iPhone that you have a TV right there why do you need to hold your phone when you have a TV like good point you act like this is a big problem I cruise control over here it's all like Creek and old school Jake break all that stuff yeah what's the password somebody's extra moves should be 69 trombones yeah how did that get on videos I don't know if this is original to unser of Robby Gordon business I forgot to ask him yesterday but zebra on the headboard is pretty suggestive yeah with the mirror above it like come on took mine off because I couldn't see anything that's too dark in here so been in this thing for a few days now all over the place so the last I saw I was in Memphis with Adrian when I went to OKC got my transmission headed on the Dallas where I'm at now a triple 7 and we did SCT in Dallas so camp the track for a bit now I'm back here everything's been going pretty well this thing definitely has some issues I need to work out which were to be expected I mean it's as old as I am but like the little skylight thing up there they both dribble the from one in the back one and that wall in the back in the bathroom that I had gone over in an inspection video which will be followed later it's leaking I got a bunch of stuff to do all kinds of cool things to point out I'm gonna make another video
