Dropping the motor iirc is the only way at this point. Sorry for the bad news.

I use mine a lot!

If your climate can support, try a DIY swamp cooler.

I'd hate to hit my shin on that step... But I like the idea, the interior is starting to look good.

Oh... so my current E350 has the optional FF with 4.10 I guess the original owner knew what to buy.

I eat anything and like to cook... My Engel MT45 is great for a single person with easy access to stores to replace every few days, but if I was going off grid for a long stretch then I'd want to double it. Im a single guy living full time in my rig, but the refrigeration needs for two I might...

I now wonder when the FF was discontinued?

They do??? I installed my Espar D4 2.5 years ago and not a hint of trouble. It gets used any time the weather is below 65 deg= it gets a lot of run time.

Ha! I ended a relationship with my 01 E350 van after a mis-diagnosis, failed IDM not the motor at 785,075 miles. Here's just a quick pic from back when... https://photos.app.goo.gl/w8FEmNCERs7Er0YKHD2 ALL completely stock and extremely well taken care of. I was the second owner.

Very cool idea but how are you supplying power to the unit ?

Seems almost like you might not need to charge from vehicle to trailer... What I mean is if you have done the math on the power consumption, the trailer's solar should be able to keep the battery bank full and healthy. Unless I missed something...

My thoughts? Didnt the E350 before 2004 all come with the FF dana rear? Looks like there is a semi-floater in those pics...

I was just at 2 Junkyard yesterday and lost count of how many pop out windows were available! I'm almost inclined to buy all of them and sell but shipping them would be very risky.

That couldn't get much better.

Agreed, 100wt panel, just be sure to get a SCC with user programmable features to match your batteries' needs.

I have actually seen this van several times around... https://jacksonville.craigslist.org/cto/d/ford-73-lifted-van/6522625088.html

What year is the Bigfoot and what motor does that great looking rig have?

And that's the regular body van, there is an extended body which approximately 20 inches longer...

I had my 200w mounted on the Amazon tilting system and it was great for long stays but it added 3 in hight and lost the stealth look... I went back to flat mounted and don't really think about them much. Sure the angled panels harvested more power, especially in the later part of the day but I'm...

Solar is a great addition, even if it's only job is to keep the batteries topped off when away. But in your case, 200 w would be the min I'd bother with. It is a worthy investment. Just be sure to get a mppt controller much bigger then your current needs, so in the future you could add more...
