Limited data — recalls on file
NHTSA has just 0 complaints on file for the 1977 Holiday Rambler Free Spirit — too few to judge reliability from owner reports alone — but 2 recall campaigns apply to this year, so any used example should have its VIN checked for completed recall work.

NCAP overall
2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
THE WELDING OF THE MOUNTING BRACKET OF THE GASOLINE TANK COULD FAIL TO PROPERLY SECURE THE FUEL TANK. IF THE MOUNTING BRACKET FAILS FUEL LEAKAGE AND POSSIBLE SEPARATION OF THE TANK FROM THE VEHICLE MAY OCCUR.
Remedy
DEALER WILL DISCONNECT THE MOUNTING BRACKET AND REPLACE IT WITH STRAP MOUNTING AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER. IF THE FUEL TANK LEAKS, IT WILL ALSO BE REPLACED.
Defect
THE L.P. GAS HOSE MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE SPRING HANGER ON THE CHASSIS SUSPENSION SYSTEM OR THE SHIELD BETWEEN THE L.P. TANK AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS COULD CAUSE RUPTURE OF THE L.P. GAS HOSE AND ALLOW RAW PROPANE TO ESCAPE.
Remedy
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY REPLACE THE EXISTING HOSE. ALSO, THE DEALER WILL SECURE THE HOSE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FLOOR SO THAT IT IS ROUTED AROUND AND AWAY FROM THE SHARP EDGES.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 2 recalls should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns affecting the 1977 Holiday Rambler Free Spirit. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
