As I was about to button up my wiring, I decided I am redoing it all. I used "zip wire" because it was convenient, but it's crap. The smaller gauge wires either crush when crimping or come uncrimped. I have ordered all new colored primary wire in 14 and 16 awg and will wire everything color coded with marine grade wire. $40 but I feel a whole lot better. And I need to run a wire for the water heater and pump. So I can get ALL my wires done. I will use these new solder heat shrink connectors and this bitch will be tight.

I Just Bought A Tiny 40-Year-Old Travel Trailer And I'm Going To Live In It
You can only learn you’re very wrong about the life choices you’ve made one way: the hard way. By chasing the American Dream, buying a house and filling the garages and backyard with cars I never had time to drive, I ran myself ragged chasing the things that I thought—that I was promised—would...

SEMA.
Imagine the gas mileage on that thing?
Measured in gallons/mile?

If they do a diesel swap, it might not be bad. Actually an LS wouldn't be awful compared to the OG motor is came with.
Perfect for camping on race tracks.

I feel like ive outgrown my camper. Its just kinda small now with the two kids. Lusting after a 25 foot twin bed airstream. So fucking pricey but not slab sided fiberglass covered in tribal tattoos, so probably worth it.
I looked at one, price was insane, layout sucked, and same crap underneath the covers.
We are leaning the other way...when our kiddo no longer will camp with us, we are either going smaller or going to a decked out Sprinter type thing.

Does it only have 28k miles because it's too far between local gas stations to make it anywhere with the fuel economy it gets?1995 Ford Revcon Trailblazer 4x4

Seriously. For the price of gas you could rent a goddam condo/hotel everywhere you might want to go. Because, let's face it, you ain't gettin' that monstrosity "off the beaten path" anywhere...
Especially since it's a 4 x 6. Nothing like unloading the adjacent drive axle to get one stuck quicker.

Carbon fiber luxury RV is ready to go off-the-grid
This brand new EarthRoamer camper is stronger, stiffer, and lighter than the competition, but all that carbon fiber doesn’t come cheap.

With a 460, I would guess 6mpg, 8 downhill with a tail wind. A 7.3 diesel would have been a WAY better choice.
And yet with a $50k deposit, there is an 8 month waiting list?"The new LTi has a base price of $590,000 and most builds will top $650,000-$700,000 once you factor in upgrades."
I just did the back-of-the-napkin math on that. With that base price, you could rent a $1500/mo apartment for THIRTY-TWO FUCKING YEARS.And yet with a $50k deposit, there is an 8 month waiting list?
And I'd wager $1500/mo would get you a decent flat almost anywhere in the WORLD, save some downtowns of a few really expensive places...
And yet, you wouldn't have a Ford F550 with carbon fiber camper on it. This has serious solar and battery power, too. A flat downtown doesn't do much for you during an apocalypse. Just saying.
<edit> And if you have $750k to drop on a camper, my guess is you are pretty well set elsewhere. Like park it at your chalet in Vail.

Is this really what people are buying this shit for? 'Cause seems once your F550 is outta gas... you're kinda hosed, no?
Yeah - I suspect you're right - most of it is probably just rich-people dick-waving. NTTAWWT<edit> And if you have $750k to drop on a camper, my guess is you are pretty well set elsewhere. Like park it at your chalet in Vail.
