I could live most of the year at least in one of these ... I have always liked the idea of someday owning a good 4x4 RV of some sort and when I saw this it went to the top of my list of the ones I really like

Oh my, I love that thing. The lake where we go camping is so sandy a standard RV is all but useless. If you tried to get near the water you would spend the weekend digging yourself out. This thing would go through the sand no problem. I love it.

I think this is the way we ended up with one ;) Hubby heard of it and tried to buy whenever he saw one for sale, but you need to be fast. Finally he scored and hopefully soon we will be fulltiming with it. We are slowly doing improvements and once we are ready, we will be heading out to land of unknown. ;)

Somebody on our blog made a comment of it going through the mud where two jeeps were stuck... Nothing boosts your confidence in your rig than beating Jeeps off roading. :)

They are very hard to come by, they are extremely rare. But if you find one, buy it while you can! It has aircraft aluminum shell, so they are very sturdy. One negative is that they aren't made anymore, so what is left hardly comes for sale. And they tend to be pricy. We love ours, but there is a price for everything, we would definitely entertain all offers. Though we are not really looking to sell it. :)

lol No doubt. We are debating between a fairly off- road capable 4x4 van vs a more comfortable,larger motorhome. Something like this would be a great compromise. Most places where we want to camp doesn't need huge ground clearance or the ability to do any serious off-roading but we do need the traction to get through soft sand & some hills/bumps that a standard RV just couldn't do. I had no idea these existed. Something like this would be great for us & it looks like a high quality camper body.

The 4x6 configuration was alway exciting but not when it's that huge. Anything bigger than a 4X4 van is almost self defeating when access is restricted from too much weight. A Sportsmobile is already 5,000 pounds. I can't imagine doing a mountain pass with that behemoth. If you want to visit frozen truck stops of the Great Northwest I get it.

I'd like to know how the bedliner worked out. We travel in the desert a lot with a truck camper and I wanted to do the same thing for side protection. How did it work?
@leebailey84355 жыл бұрын
so far it has held up really well. Just a few months after I got it sprayed it got hit all over with baseball sized hail and the only damage were the lights on top and the solar panels of course. Other Rv's around me were destroyed. I've been in the heat of Houston with it for the last year and Florida the year before that, and the LineX liner is holding strong. I think it helped with insulating keeping it cooler too, the black was just a heat magnet.

great rig, but still 2002 and no double glass windows, all euro rv have that since 1980 something
@piakaven4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, they haven't made these since 2002 and we were looking for something that has off road capability, something you rarely come by in RV's. We haven't felt the need for the double pane windows, I am sure it makes it more efficient, but those seals break and then you end up with a huge bill to replace them. Just replacing the front window on the top bunk was a pain, we fixed leaks for eternity as they could not attach it properly even after multiple times we took it back. Do not want rain water to come to your bed.

Do you still have this Revcon? Might it be for sale, if you do have it?
@piakaven6 жыл бұрын
grizzlydiscjockey111, yes we still have it, it's gone through a reno and my husband wants to change the layout of it, he uses it when at work field, so I would assume he is not willing to sell it for now. It also looks way different, it's been totally painted desert tan with a bed liner. The black was not the the best choise for Texas.

@piakaven5 жыл бұрын
Yes we do, it does great, drives anywhere, just had hard time coming down the mountain from Grand Canyon North Ring, constantly on breaks was a bit worrysome. We were fine though, but took a break at one of the rest spots to let the breaks cool down. It might have been fine, but we were newbies and didn't want to push it.

What is the turning radius like? Are the water tanks insulated or heated?
@leebailey84359 жыл бұрын
Turning radius is pretty huge if you need to make a U-turn. But otherwise it handles just like driving a truck. The main water tank is inside the cabin under the back couch. The black and grey water tanks are insulated, I'm unsure if they are heated or not. Really not planning at taking it into freezing conditions much.

Convert your back lounge to a bunk bed and I'm sold! do they custom build!?
@piakaven8767 жыл бұрын
They haven't been made for probably 15 years. Ours might have been the last to come out the line. They were all pretty much custom built. My husband wanted to convert it that way, but to relocate the bathroom washer and dryer and closet would have left too little room for us. The bunk could serve as a storage, but as a king size bed, it is hard to access. On the days you feel old, the bunk can be a bit hard, since the over head is not very high there. :) Not for people with big back problems.

@caasiwms5 жыл бұрын
Patriot Jefferson if only 4 wheels drive this, it is then considered a 6x4 vehicle. 6 meaning that it has 6 wheels total, while 4 means that only 4 drive it. If you write it 4x4, that means the vehicle only has 4 wheels and all 4 wheels drive it. So the correct way to label this vehicle is 6x4.
@piakaven5 жыл бұрын
@@caasiwms I think you are probably correct. :) There are markings on the Revcon that say 4 x 4 so not sure why that is... considering that is how it came from the manufacturer. This is made on the F350 chassis, so maybe they added 2 more wheels, but left the F350 markings.
@caasiwms5 жыл бұрын
Patriot Jefferson I am an otr truck driver, and I operate all sorts of vehicles, on and off road, every day of my life. In the US, vehicle drivetrains are identified by a set of 2 numbers split by an ‘x’, (4x4, etc), and it is said, ‘four by four’. The first number is ALWAYS used to list the total number of wheels the vehicle has. The second is ALWAYS used to list the total number of drive wheels. For this rv, I count 6 wheels, meaning the first number will start with 6. If either both the rear tandem axles or one rear plus one front axle drive it, it is a 6x4 designation. If all three axles have power, then the technical classification is 6x6. It is NOT possible to label this vehicle ‘4x4’, since it has 3 axles.
@caasiwms4 жыл бұрын
Patriot Jefferson no research to be done, I have been to school for this, I train people on this, and this is how vehicle stickers are tagged. My 08 freightliner columbia has 3 axles, and the rear tandems are locking drive axles. The factory door sticker says 6x4 right on it. If you go on the Ford or dodge website and build your own vehicle, it gives you the option of 4x2 or 4x4 for the trucks. The first number ALWAYS means the number of wheels/axle contact points a vehicle has, and the second number ALWAYS means the number of powered wheels/axle contact points. This is just the way it is. Try to do your own reasearch, if you want to be stubborn and ignore facts, there is nothing I can do.
