Ive finally gotten around to getting Starlink hooked back up. When I got wind of the new(V3) dish essentially being flat, and "allowing" in motion use, and only costing $299 I decided to spring for it. I also decided to splurge on some aftermarket stuff to make the setup a little more modular. I...

I decided to start a Youtube channel for Darlington Adventures. Im going to chronicle the drivetrain swap on Blazer #1 and the restoration Blazer #2 that I picked up this summer as well as document any adventures we go on. This is my first attempt at editing videos ever so go easy on me hahaha...

Well, still have the RV. Guess we're keeping it! Ive got some upgrades coming soon now that its cooling off in Phoenix and I can finally work on it in my shop again. I decided to start a Youtube channel for Darlington Adventures. Im going to chronicle the restoration of the 2nd Blazer camper I...

So I decided to try my hand at making videos for this project. If anyone wants to watch along Ive started a Darlington Adventures account on Youtube.

Huge progress this week! Got the entire frame cleaned up. Took a full day to remove all the old adhesive, gunk, corrosion etc. Looks really good now, not new but good haha. Also got all of the wood panel structure installed to the point where i was able to get the camper back on the dolly!! Cant...

Well, progress has been slow this summer. Ive been super busy traveling and riding bikes so the camper project has taken a back seat. I did finally get past some major milestones though. I figured out how to make my welder and spool gun setup work on the ultra thin aluminum tubes that make up...

Thanks! Have fun with yours. There was no wiring because it had a vent in both spots. There was wiring to a light in the ceiling above the bed so I ran wires from that, about 2 feet away. Unfortunately the way the ceiling/roof is constructed there is no easy way to get wires into that area. I...

This is perfect, thanks!

Put together a flat tow setup to see if the RV will be able to tow the Blazer. Spent ten days driving from Flagstaff to Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Telluride and back to Flagstaff using the RV as a home base either parked at an RV park or wild camped and then used the Blazer to drive around town...

Ha I know. We will be at United Campground. Not our typical choice but the wife needs wifi for work and the starlink is just not reliable enough to be out in the middle of nowhere. Hit me up if you want to ride.

We will be in Durango Aug 20-23. Ive also got my Blazer in tow behind the RV. Plan is to have a basecamp with the RV and use the Blazer for cruising around. Wife will be working so Ill probably just be riding my mountain bike all week.

Well, the RV is technically still for sale, though Ive pulled all the ads. We really love it and have been using it a bunch. Im about to embark on a two week trip around Colorado and Ive done some mods to make it a little nicer. Added a swivel base to the front passenger seat and completely...

Oh cool, I just followed you back from both of my accounts. I see that SeamsSoFine follows you. Did Sacha build a canvas for you?

Nice! Do you have a thread for it? The Bronco ones are super rare.

Not a ton of progress here unfortunately. Ive been super busy, out of town and will be out of town again for 3 of the next 4 weeks. I do have a couple things to share. Got the hinges and misc. exterior brackets as well as all of the lower trim parts back from blast/powder. They turned out...

Why would a state title a camper? It doesnt touch the ground. Do they also title fiberglass toppers? What about roof tents? Tonneau covers?

Not a happy camper today. Accidentally backed the RV into the Blazer. Its very rare for me to be this absent minded. I had literally just parked the Blazer behind the RV so I could pull the RV into the driveway to get it ready for a trip. Like, park the blazer, get out and get in the RV, back...

A quart every 1000 miles is not normal. Thats definitely something you should get checked out.

I have an E350 6.8 V10 former rental RV that is now ujoint 4x4. I specifically wanted a V10 truck because they are known to last a long time and take a ton of abuse while requiring minimal maintenance. The polar opposite of Fords diesel engines. Mines got ~100,000 miles and runs great, 75k of...
