So I spent a couple days getting familiar with the roof. Turns out there is a mini solar panel up there which is cool. Theres a light on the control panel that has a label that says "solar charging when lit" but I missed the panel last time I was up there since its about 12" x 18" and stuck to...

Well as you've all surely been hoping, Ive been busting ass on the RV even though I havent posted any updates so get ready. Theres a lot coming over the next few days even though I had a week long hiatus spent in Flagstaff because Snowbowl got 90" of snow in 7 days. I still have my priorities...

Ive got it and its in the box ready to go. Send me a private message and we can figure something out. No idea whats going to happen yet. We are going to use it for our trip and then either rent it or sell it when we get back. Wont know until we get back though. We have a few business ideas...

:unsure:

Good ideas and thanks for the heads up!

Ask and ye shall receive. Prep, prep and more prep. Getting ready to paint is so incredibly tedious and time consuming. Thankfully I was able to employ the wife and my mom for the actual painting. Got everything primed today. Paint will start tomorrow.

Currently the glass actually rests on top of the iron grates. Seems wrong but there are no provisions for any kind of rubber feet or bumpers so I guess its supposed to be that way. I will definitely be adding something to keep it quiet/stop it from breaking on rough roads.

Nice! I will probably do a regular van after we get back from our trip with this RV. It does have plenty of get-up-and-go and I havent even installed the programmer yet! I dont actually recall which axle it is, I only looked at the tag to see the gearing. I dont plan to install a locker right...

Thanks it came from RecPro which was a site I only recently came across. $600 is with the matching hood, just the range is only $499!! Whats interesting is on their website its listed as their own RecPro brand but when it showed up it has this Greystone logo on it. Must be one of those...

Part deuce from the weekend that I was too tired to post last night. The new range showed up. Its my favorite piece of kit to date. Its literally a miniature 3 burner stove/oven with its own matching hood, backlighting, glass top for extra countertop space, electric start, runs on propane and...

I will document it here. I also thought it was going to be plug and play, its not. Naively I bought LED 5x7 lights thinking just the black trim bezel would be all I need. Its going to be a lot more involved, including wiring. I actually had to go into a Ford dealership today to order parts...

Weekend update!! Wife was out of town and I did nothing but work on the RV. Going to have to split this one into multiple posts. First things first, Ive actually been struggling with the radio for a while. Turns out the cutaway chassis that Ford sells has completely different wiring behind the...

I am also quite interested to see how it holds up ha. From what I can tell so far the skin is aluminum and there is approximately 1 1/2" of wood in between the outer skin and inner skin. Im guessing that is just blocking/backing in certain areas for strength and the majority of the space is just...

Hold your horses its not 4x4 yet, thats the ride you'll come along on when we all pile in for a trip down UJoint Lane. There are 7 seat belts in this mini class C beast so everyone that will actually be interested in this thread can come along. ? If you follow some of my other threads on here...

Understandable. You might be better off posting this in the van forum. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/4wd-and-2wd-camper-vans-a-k-a-vanlife.58/

If you havent figured this out yet, call Chris at UJoint Offroad. Guy knows more about the axles that came in Econolines than the people at Ford.

The 10-20 minutes he said was for a typical compressor, not for his air tanks which he said will instantly inflate tires.

So I pulled the camper off the truck one more time to do the final sealing of the cab-to-front-wall and it went pretty well. The factory style weatherstrips worked great to seal the "filler" fiberglass piece to the cab but then there was nothing sealing the filler piece to the front wall of the...
