    This 1993 Revcon 4x4 Trail Blazer RV truck camper is one of 67 ever made & has become the perfect home for proud-owner, J.P. Smith. This camper has many of the original design features including a built in dinette, overhead cabinets for storage, a wetbath, & large bed. Although many of the original features have been left alone, J.P. did remodel the kitchen by adding a beautiful butcher block countertop & switched to a removable induction stove. This incredible camper is stocked with an air fryer, coffee machine, ice maker, & a microwave. What more could you ask for?
    J.P. has lived nomadically for 24 years through a combination of backpacking, motor biking, & now finally, RV life. He has been in this Revcon for a little over a year now & absolutely loves it. From the incredible origin story of how J.P. acquired this camper, to the rarity of this vehicle, this home on wheels was destined to be lived in & enjoyed by J.P.

      @@samfrabel2356 We live on a flat, level, motionless plane. The sun and moon are of the same size and they are small and local. They, along with the stars and the wandering stars (AKA planets), revolve around us.
      Water always finds its level and it never bends. It has to be contained; it can't conform to the outside of a ball.
      We don't live on a rock that spins at 1000mph at the equator and circles the sun at 66,600mph--while that sun rockets through the "universe" at almost 500,000mph (yet somehow Polaris remains our North Star and the other stars are the same century after century).
      We are within the Antarctic Circle. It's the highest "continent", making our world a "pond" of sorts. The Antarctic Circle is the shoreline. The lands sticking out of the ocean are our continents.
      You can see images of flat Earth maps on almost all major international organization flags--like the WHO, the UN, and the International Civil Aviation Organization.
      The globalists hide it in plain sight. Then they took their flat map and wrapped it around a sphere and declared to the pheasants of Earth that we live on a ball. 🙄

    This is a really cool rig! Updating it the way you have, removing the rear seats and incorporating Alexa is great and really modernizes it. I love using Alexa around my house. Yes, it’s a little gimmicky, but it’s nice to just let her do things. It’s particularly helpful when I control all my Christmas lights in and especially outside the house.
    This is a great size rig for a couple, but especially for a solo nomad, and you still have the overhead bed for guests. Thanks for sharing. This is the first time I’ve ever seen this type of Rv.

      I was really curious to know if this had the E4OD transmission. I'm just going to assume from your post it does. Those were not good transmissions. Even when well maintained in a regular pickup you were luck to get 150k miles. I can see a rig of this size just burning through them. The only upside is they are cheap to rebuild compared to modern transmissions.

    The reason they stopped making them is they were basically a front wheel drive. The rear was worthless and would just spin on wet grass, mud and gravel because the rear axle was not powered, you had to put it in four wheel drive to engage the front wheels to get you of the grass, mud or gravel. Just going up a steep entrance to a roadway can leave you spinning the rear front axle and get you stuck.
