    Restoring the Open Road

    Ontario resident Tom Speakman loves vintage stuff and over the years he's revitalized a number of old cars, trucks, RVs, trains, motorcycles and even a 100-year-old bed and dresser set. Right now, Speakman is working on a 1970 Dodge Open Road motorhome and he was eager to share details of the project with RVwest.
