The time has come for Darlington Adventures to move on to the next project. Our beloved UJoint 4x4 Thor Majestic 19G RV is officially for sale. Purchased January 2023 from Cruise America as a used rental RV. It had 75,XXX miles when we bought it to be our home base for a 6 month, 48 state road trip which we completed last November. Its now got 98,XXX miles and will go up slowly since I still drive it pretty regularly to go mountain biking, camping close to home etc. Its a 2018, V10, E350 based Thor Majestic 19G. Ill try to include all of the details here and will add things as I remember them. Also please feel free to peruse the build thread for all the details. https://forum.expedi...-thread.237479/ I literally have thousands of pictures, if you want to see something just ask. I did the 4x4 conversion and all of the other work on the rig myself. I can also take video of anything. All systems function as they should.
For those that are unaware, the 19G can no longer be purchased new from Thor. They only build them for Cruise America/Cruise Canada. To buy one you either have to get lucky and find a rare used one online or get it from Cruise America, which is what we did.
2018 Thor Majestic 19G E350 with UJoint Offroad 4x4 conversion. 98,XXX miles. For sale at $105,000 or best offer.

Good, bad, and ugly
- The best thing about the 19G is you can park it anywhere. Thats the reason we initially chose this model over a longer RV for our trip. Its approximately 20 feet long so it can still be parked in a regular parking spot. We took it on a 6 month, 48 state, 20,000 mile road trip and never had fitment issues. We stayed in Chicago, Philly, Seattle and countless other big and small cities and towns and never once had an issue parking or finding somewhere to sleep for the night. It can also take you down any offroad trail that the exterior dimensions will fit through hahaha.
- It has its share of paint chips, dings and scratches but nothing bad.
- Absolutely no rust except on the exhaust.
- The level sensors for the black water tank do not read accurately. This is a common thing with RVs, they just dont stay clean when they get caked with literal ********.
- The vinyl graphics were done by yours truly, an amateur. They look great from a few feet away but there are plenty of wrinkles.
- Its an 11,000 pound box powered by a 6.8 liter V10 gasoline engine. If you have to ask what kind of mileage it gets you are probably looking at the wrong vehicle. It gets about 9mpg no matter what you do.
Thats all Ive got for now. Feel free to ask questions. Ill add pics and info as things come up.
