    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Four Wheel Blazer Pop-up, Finally found one

    Zoomad - Steal away on anything I have done. That is the point of posting up here! Thanks for looking into your scrap pile. Hopefully you find some or all of that piece I need. If not, I would still be interested in whatever scrap wood paneling you have. I have not been able to find matching...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Four Wheel Blazer Pop-up, Finally found one

    Zoomad - Welcome to the Four Wheel Camper Blazer club! I've got mine mounted on my 72 Blazer. I see that you are redoing all of your cabinetry. Would you be willing to sell a piece or two from your demo pile? In particular, I need the cabinet portion that is located under the fridge and to the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dometic 65L power/current draw

    I have a 1984 Blazer model FWC that came with its original 3-way Dometic fridge freezer (nice woodgrain door to match paneling in camper). The old Dometic still worked on propane, AC, and DC, but it was a real power hog and had a hard time maintaining temps. I pulled it and stored it in my attic...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 1983 FWC Blazer Model on a First Gen Blazer

    The FWC Blazer models were sold new from FWC, without a Blazer attached:). No connection to GM. I'm not sure who was responsible for bobbing a 69-72 Blazer full hardtop to form the front cab cover. Perhaps FWC had a template that was used to mark the cut line, and they did it in their factory...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Vintage roof racks Vs. Big canoe?

    I added Yakima risers and cross bars on my 84 Blazer model. Risers are the rain gutter type that mount to bolt on "rain gutter" plates, also produced by Yakima. Very solid. I have mounted a fully loaded Yakima hard shell travel pod on it with no problems.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 1983 FWC Blazer Model on a First Gen Blazer

    I have a 1984 Blazer FWC on my 1972 K5 Blazer. The posted weight is 700lbs with propane and water tanks full. Yours looks to have lead a rougher life than mine, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. The biggest problem with these era campers is that they used particle board on the exposed front...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Four Wheel Camper for Blazer

    I have a "Blazer" model FWC on my 1972 K5 Blazer. It was made in 1984 in Woodland, California. Its my understanding that this was the last year this model was produced. They are out there, but condition isn't always that great. You may have to buy an entire Blazer just to get the camper! Good...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC model names by year ; input requested

    I see the Blazer model extending all the way to 1998. However, it is my understanding that the Blazer model production stopped somewhere between 1984 and 1985. I happen to have a 1984 Blazer FWC on my 1972 Chevy K5 Blazer.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West front corner replacement or cover material

    Are you referring to the vertical piece of particle board that butts up to the cab of your Bronco? If so, my FWC also began to sustain water damage to this material. Once water gets into it, it swells up and looks like crap. I ended up catching it early, totally resealed all sides of it...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Broncos, Blazers and Scouts

    I have a 2" lift on the Blazer. But I also run a Dana 60 up front and 14 bolt full floater out back with larger diameter axle tubes than the stock 1/2 ton axles, so I get a bit more lift from the bigger axle diameters. I also run load assist air bag set-up in the rear to keep the rear from...

    Ace! - Yes it is a 1972 K5 Blazer. I don't hold any grudges for those that confuse it for a Bronco:)
