    E-Scooters. A really good van camping accessory.

    Hey guys, figured I would throw this out there. You know those rental scooters that are popping up everywhere? Like Bird / Lime / Skip / etc...? They will go 20mph and have a pretty good range. Usually around 15 mile range. They're great for ripping to the bathroom at the campground, or...

    UJOR Build Thread

    You sure? Y'all look alike. If we ever buy a house again (we don't own one now because we move around too much), the first thing I'm getting is a lift. Then I'm tearing my van apart and doing this.

    Ambulance 2wd regear for lower noise and better fuel economy?

    Yea, my transmission won't shift down into a lower gear when climbing mountains. So I have to hit the OD off button to make it climb. I have a set of 4.10's and a locker I just need to install them.

    Ambulance 2wd regear for lower noise and better fuel economy?

    I have 3.55 with 33’s and they suck. I’m about to go to 4.10. But 3.73 would seem like a good middle ground.

    AC while boondocking

    I have a portable AC unit that I vent out the drivers side window. I made a template to fit in the window that has the hole for the exhaust for the AC. And I just place the unit between the two front seats. 8k btu will run on a 2k generator with no problem. I live in NC, and don't need a AC...

    Ambulance Camper/ Expedition Rig Conversion FAQ

    I have a 2000 E350 with a UJOR kit. Thinking of getting a ambo. Are they really worth it? How are they 4wd compared to my van with SRW. The one I'm looking at is DRW.

    Might sell my 2000 E350 7.3 PSD short bus w/65k miles plus axles/transfer case...

    This won't last long. Too bad you don't wanna trade for another van.

    Camp kitchen / chuckbox checklist

    Here is a small portion of mine. I’m using the GSI Bugaboo kitchen set. And a collapsible sink. I also use paper plates. No clean up and they’re great for starting fires later.

    I love this build. In a couple years when I sell my van, I’m buying one of these.

    2000 Ford 7.3L Motovan build (225's build cont'd)

    Since the solar panels are in, I installed the ceiling. Still need to trim it out, but the hard part is done. Drove 900 miles to work, and dropped the van off at the shop to get some minor stuff fixed. Took a pic of the mileage. I also stopped by ikea and pulled the trigger on the...

    2000 Ford 7.3L Motovan build (225's build cont'd)

    Went on a "camping" trip. In a hotel parking lot lol, at Deal's Gap. Fontana Dam was dumping. Time to add some solar! Now I can finish the ceiling.

    2000 Ford 7.3L Motovan build (225's build cont'd)

    Ahhhhh..... Time for me and Betty Sue to drive home. Another 12 hour drive. Did it with zero problems. Still haven't figured out why people are scared of high mileage 7.3's. My van purrs like a kitten going down the road. Never had a breakdown yet in 2 years of ownership. Saw this cool rig...
