    VanKrishna: Operation K.I.S.S.

    Introducing VanKrishna (now a build thread too) Finally got some pictures to upload, hopefully they will stay oriented in the original positions in which they were taken! My slider door would only open from the inside handle, decided to see if it was a diy fix and was pleasantly surprised to...

    E350 Bug screens

    Anyone have bug screens on their rigs that they love or loath? I fashioned up the best duct tape and door screen temps I could for the trip but they were a total PIA, glad to have had something but a long term solution is going to be necessary. Sports Mobiles offerings look nice but for $450...

    MG Metalworks Radius Arm/Coil Spring Axle Conversion for E-series Vans

    Sliding door extender Hey MG, I know that this is not the same thread but it seems to be the best place to ask, are you still fab'n them and or have them for sale? Looking to up-size tires and wheels, it is fine with the 33's but no way it will clear the 35's!!!

    VanKrishna: Operation K.I.S.S.

    Shake, rattle and roll, broken awnings and plenty to think about! The shake down trip was a success in many ways, mainly, the wife was happy and approves:Wow1: The beast is SLOW (uphills especially and not great on flat land), rattles, A LOT, and has quirks aplenty but we are smitten! I lost...

    A forum suggestion; Wheel and Tire Sticky

    Would it be possible to start a sticky thread for wheels and tires? I feel like this is a worthy and often discussed issue, especially to those of us not so long in the tooth in regards to Adv Van Ownership. For instance, I currently have 16" wheels and am wondering if it is necessary to go to...

    VanKrishna: Operation K.I.S.S.

    Sorry Smurf but I am not following what you are saying, it's hard for me to visualize in my head, 45 degrees from where to where? The only thing I can picture is from the bottom bolt of the awning to the back bolt on the underside of the bracket/load bar, am I on the right track? (bolts :sombrero: )

    VanKrishna: Operation K.I.S.S.

    Chasing Gremlins AHHHHHH the joys of pre-owned and modified vehicle ownership!! In today's installment ELECTRIC GREMLINS; I have not had a lot of time to drive the van around so when I get the chance I jump in and take it for a spin, I got down the road a clip and noticed that the stereo had...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Hey Chili, we still have not met in person, ******? Yes to both, I live in Miller Ranch and I sold the AS in late winter and I'll be damned if the #Vanlife bug did not come back strong as ever:sombrero: AJ the PO had a good start and heart I might add (he also threw in a Paragliding lesson with my...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    It is 8' x 8' with the same size room that attaches to it. I bought it because my buddy has one on his Westy, bang for the buck it is def the way to go. I can deploy it by myself in about 2 min and another 3 or 4 minutes to add the room. What size is that awning? Looks great.

    The dreaded Ford A/C default to defroster conundrum

    I bought the van with full knowledge that the A/C (which does blow nice and cold, just not where I want it to) was only blowing through the defroster vents, foolishly I thought that it would be a simple fix, WRONG!! After watching several YouTube vids and reading more than a few forum posts, I...
