Well, here we go again! Atl-atl gets another Four Wheel Campers "Blazer"

Just like the title says, here we go again! So a couple months ago a guy over on CK5.com posted up that he was doing a bit of spring cleaning and people should ask if he has anything for sale that they might want. So I inquired about a Four Wheel Camper because a little birdie told me he might have had an extra one laying around. Turns out he did and we made a deal! Fast forward to this past Tuesday and I made the trip from Flagstaff AZ to Lakewood CO and picked it up.

I do still have my yellow Blazer with a Four Wheel Camper (Build thread here) and Im continuing to use it/work on it. Mostly just use it at this point because the weather is so nice in Flagstaff this time of year. I need to update that thread because a lot of cool stuff has happened recently, Ive just been super swamped.

Anyway, I got a uhaul trailer, loaded up my "custom" :LOL: Blazer camper dolly and bounced my way up to Colorado. I decided to take my RV and boondock along the way to make it there and back as comfortably as possible. $700 in gas later and I was back home.

This camper will be getting a full resto over the next few months. No plan yet for when its done. Maybe Ill find another Blazer to put it on, maybe Ill sell it, maybe Ill figure out how to stick it on the back of a Suburban!?! Either way its going to be brought back from near death for somebody to enjoy in the future. Im going to try to document the build on instagram, in addition to my normal forum posts. Please check out @darlington.adventures if you dont already follow me.

Dont worry, the dolly got a little "shoring up" before the trip home!

I adore your work. Love reading about it all.

I have a 2017 Lexus GX, but for my own uses, I snagged a Ranger and lo and behold...a small FWC appeared very near to me! I was going to snag it to throw on my Ranger but someone got there before me. Still on the hunt, in large part due to your work on these.

Nice! Do you have a thread for it? The Bronco ones are super rare.
No I dont, I mainly just lurk around here. I do have a few pictures on my Instagram account. I just mounted the camper on the Bronco a few weeks ago and have only driven it a couple of times. I have lots of pictures, its been a 2 year process to get where I am at right now. @fredtdodd is my inst account.

I think I need a bigger truck!
These old campers are so rad. Nice find and can't wait to see it completed. Looks like you are off to a good start.

I think the wiring colors are held over from household wiring. No idea why companies using 12v items didn't use the standard red/black but my guess it was likely because builders were using household wire for both the A/C systems and D/C systems, so they didn't have to stock any other wiring supplies.

Just found this reading through random threads and really dig the work youre doing! I'm over towards U. Heights in Flagstaff and think I've seen your yellow K5 around town.
