I saw one of these at the local rv store, and it looked kinda cheap to me.
I had Sportsmobile build me a 4wd ford e350, and was very disappointed in what i felt was a lack in quality workmanship, and can't see owning another one.
I guess if i really want one, i am gonna have to step up and spend...
Looks nice.
Glad it went well for you.
Looking forward to your write up.
So, just the front then? You didn't feel the need for blocks in the back? Is height about equal front and rear now?
I spoke with Jeremy the other day, and will probably do something with them, and definitely let them do...

Looking forward to your report.
My van sits real low, and I need to do something too.
Not sure what.

Considering doing what you have done.
Thank you for your time.

More great info, thanks!
BBB,
That is one seriously long and informative thread on the Class B Forum. That guy put a lot of thought and effort in to the build out of his 190. I am going to have to dedicate some time to read the whole thread.
Second link appears to not work.
