I guess it's a real camper now...

Oil report came in, everything looks .... ok..... Not really worried about engine or transmission problems with this van. It has the 5.4L gas / 5R110 combo. I could literally buy a new engine and transmission and still be under what I had just in the transmission of the 7.3 van.

Shout out to Ford of Meridian, MS. I stopped in and asked if they could turn on the cruise control and they did! Also, the previous owners (FedEx), had the speed limited to 75mph. They also fixed that. Another Buc-ee's! This sign always cracks me up: Stopped at IKEA in ATL on the way...

#1 on the list is to get the cruise control turned on. It's killing me. I drove from Orange, TX., to Houston (1 hr). Stopped at Buc-Ee's. Then drove 3 hrs to Austin to do the paperwork for selling Betty Sue. 16th floor hotel view: Currently in Meridian, MS. 8 hrs left to go!

Headed back to work. I really need to get the cruise control turned on. We are doing maple floors, green cabinets, and light green accents. The countertops will be fake marble Formica. The ceiling will be non-aromatic cedar. The shower will have matte black tile and pebble floors...

Nice! I love the winch mount!

I think I am going the trailer route. My buddy has a vintage Uhaul trailer is selling me. I plan on lifting it and polishing the aluminum to make it like a Airstream trailer. And add a roof rack on it to haul kayaks, plywood, etc..

Wall trimmed and painted. Just 3 more to go! The step for the door has been built and I covered the outside of the step in fiberglass resin to waterproof it. It has 3 coats. Solid! Added the speakers off Betty Sue and put them in the new van. Alpine Type R's. Will be adding a small sub...

I've been on the hunt for one of those!

Looks good!

Shower is framed in. Mini split is in. I ran the PEX for the shower and sink and electrical for the fridge and 110v socket for the counter above the sink. Insulated it and covered it in shiplap. Still needs putty and paint. I need to finish the side wall and start working on the shower.

Looking good!

Went to @ujoint to map things out. Always great seeing those guys, even though they're probably tired of seeing me! I ordered the correct wool polishing pad to take out all the oxidation on the box to get rid of the old decal marks. Just haven't got to it yet. Just a good motivational photo...

Betty Sue is back home. Still not shifting past 2nd gear. Haven't had time to mess with it. I've been working on the rear wall. Steel and tool box for the rear: Everything framed up: Sheet metal on. It was a pain. It didn't come out perfect. Not bad either, just not perfect. It...

I'm sooooo close to having the weight I need on the van to order springs. Good to know the wait time has been ramped up!

Thanks for the replies! Sorry I was out of pocket for a couple days. Traveling for work. I really like the inflatable kayaks. Maybe even just a two seater for me and the wife. And fish out of it too. I have lots of research to do! I agree about a trailer. That's why I don't want one. We...

Goals

I am looking at fishing kayaks to up my fishing game. And before I buy one, I wanna figure out HOW I am going to transport it. Just for reference, I have a 12ft box truck that I am converting to a RV. It can't go on the roof, because it has now 2 more panels than shown. No room at all on top...

Nice!

My 2014 doesn't have RSC either on a Dana 70 rear axle. F-250 axles have them. I'm not sure what it would take to get that axle to work. Probably a lot of extra parts, and would cost more than just getting a different axle.
