Correct, the angle is not there if a bunk system is not part of the package.

Those rails sit on top of the upper structure of the van after the roof is cut. What are you trying to accomplish?

My 95 Quigley DRW uses all OBS F350 stuff up front, and the stock E350 pitman arm. Perhaps the SRW vans are a different beast.

I haven't experienced an E-14 in my test runs yet, and of course (as you've found) the poorly-translated Russian/Chinese user manual doesn't list it and isn't clear anyway. I'm curious if it's another version of the burner overheat code, or perhaps something referencing exhaust temperature. I...

The E450 wasn't mine, but it was a 12' box if I remember right. My E350 is a 10' service body (toolbox), with a 74" roof.

You didn't mention which shunt monitor you're using, but you said you've got Renogy batteries, so I'll assume you've got the usual Renogy rectangle monitor with 4 buttons. Tap the OK button, then hold it until a menu appears, at this point you can scroll through the menu and change the amp...

The frames are essentially identical (comparing the same wheelbases anyway), the difference is in the rear crossmembers. On my 95 chassis-cab E350, the rearmost two crossmembers are separate from each other and built to bolt in tank straps very similar to the van body side tanks, whereas on the...

Definitely ear-marking this - perhaps this will persuade me to reconsider a repower in my 95 DRW Quigley.

Got back from an extended weekend of camping with some family, and managed to sneak my head under the seats of a rented 2022 E450 camper my sister brought along, and it looks like the bases are identical. Plug was different for the seatbelt, but, I have a mind to think the older buckles will fit...

Our 2009 RB E250 cargo shop van has the Baja Grocery Getter kit from Weldtec, with the Fox shock package. With LT275/70R17 Maxxis Razr MT tires and a middle leaf pulled out of the rear spring packs, it rides smooth for a van. For the sake of detail, it does have a fiberglass high top, a moderate...

I'm reasonably certain the seat bases are the same as 97-14 vans, I've swapped many seats between those years without issue. The only gotcha I can think of would be the seatbelt plug to keep the SRS light off - that might have changed since 2014.

For what its' worth, the 2000 Wheeled Coach E450 Ambulance I'm converting to a camper at work uses OE Ford body mounts in OE locations along the frame, with the box hard mounted to the cab. Likewise, my 1995 Quigley E350 DRW with an enclosed service box also uses OE Ford body mounts along the...

Not exactly what you're asking, but worth mentioning: I have stacked multiple Renogy DC-DC chargers in a dual alt Transit for 100 amps of house bank charge at idle. Currently installing a second Renogy DC-DC into a dual-alternator Econoline ambulance for 110 amps of house bank charge. I have...

That is a hilarious bargain, I'd be doing borderline criminal stuff to get that for what you did. Definitely following this.

I install these at Wasatch Overland on a regular basis - we typically stock a pair of Vario Fs in gray or black, but can order anything from them. 99% of the time I'm wiring the heaters, seatbelts, and installing swivels at the same time. They're very nice albeit (in my cheapo opinion) expensive.
