REAL bad RBR Mark 5 from 1979

Recommended Posts

This thing is SO bad, even I did not buy it. I WAS going to buy it and scrap it.  Decided too much work for too little gain.  Nothing much work taking except maybe the 20R engine and some door hardware.   I've never seen a RBR Mark 5 before.  Probably a cute little rig at one time.  1979 motorhome on a 1978 truck.  Nice day to be in a country junkyard though. Had a whole bunch of sandhill cranes watching me.

How are your crank-up door motors Fred?   I come across quite a few people with old Toyotas with windows that won't roll up.  Both of mine were bad on my 78 when I got it.  I am tempted to go back and maybe buy both doors for parts, the dash, carburetor, and the distributor.  1978 is the first year for breakerless ignition and I don't mind having spares if cheap. I just stripped a 1977 Chinook and that had points.  The engine supposedly ran fine when this thing came into the yard 16 years ago.   I'd be tempted to salvage it but I already have three spare 20Rs that I will likely never have a use for.

mine are working fine. The passenger window glass separated from the window channel, I just reglued it with silicon and its worked fine.

Crank mechanism's all work fine. I would scrounge as many parts as you can. I too have a spare 20R, not sure if it'll ever get used. ?
