      @@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 am amazed to see this. I saw one in Columbia, California parked near me in a campground. Fascinating. It definitely was huge for a "chassis mount" with it's extended framework. That would have been 1992 or 1993. About the time that Ford was also doing semi-custom design with F-350 LWB, double-cab pickups and turn them into what appeared to be a redesign based on the Chevy Blazer and Dodge Ramchargers with their removable fiberglass tops. Sort of an open-air Expedition or leave them closed.

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.

    Stickers should read "6x4" A lot of weird "vocational" heavy duty trucks are set up like this where the front axle is powered but only one of the rear axles is powered. The backmost rear axle acts as a tag axle like in this rig(or on a Prevost bus). If only one rear axle is powered its a "6x2", if all 3 axles are powered its a "6x6"

      It is, I was not willing to pay the $500 for it. Believe it or not I found it at a swap meet for $50!

    These Revcons are known to be INFAMOUS within the GMC Motorhome community just because they're using body parts and tooling from said GMC motorhome.
