Great project! I would make the cab over the kids bedroom exclusively. Single bunks on either side (feet forward) with a small divider wall in between that has storage and shelves on either side, At the head of the bed (towards the back) have a 40" (+or-) for standing and dressing when top is...

Been following along. Really like the package you are putting together. Great job. Questions about the bed, are the vertical plywood pieces supporting the front to back poplar blocking? Even if they are, then the poplar above them probably should have been run continuous front to back with the...

If I was sleeping in this space anything more than the occasional weekend camping trip I would want to be able to sit up in bed. With a 6" mattress you will have 24", put a sheet of plywood over your house bed 24" and see how you like crawling in and out from under it. Minimum would be 36" for...

I agree, getting rid of the Macstrut for an upper control arm is a win IMO. Following along and looking forward to your progress!

Just bumping these up, I also have the following, Driver side rear window glass, two with two different tints Fixed rear door glass, tinted

So there has been much debate as to the extensiveness of this refurbishment. In evaluating the parts and pieces there is no doubt that this top was overloaded. The top was never designed to carry a lot of weight. Not to mention the fact that the weight was placed on the outer edges of the roof...

I have a Espar hydronic only unit in my E350 van. I have the rear HVAC unit running off the "coach" batteries with a separate switch and thermostat. I can also run the front dash vents/controls with the key in acc position in engine preheat scenarios or to move more air/defrost windows without...

Most residential stuff uses capillary tubes during transportation, here is an article I found, https://www.303windows.com/windows-denver-colorado/colorado-replacement-windows/ Good luck and share what you learn.

I was going to suggest that but its not a very popular choice, it does tick a lot of your boxes. I was having a hard time imagining "2 adults, 1 child, and two 60 lbs. dogs" going in and out that little hobbit door on the FWC posted above, or a truck camper door/stairs for that matter. If you...

My headliner panels are stained and rotten in numerous places. As most have found the canvas is held up with the headliner so I pulled all the panels and removed the canvas. I removed the vintage lighting, twisted together wires with electrical tape isnt my preference. I also disassembled...

No Install yet.... Poptop Disassembly- The top had flexible solar panels that were adhered with silicone. The panels had already been removed so I took off the silicone residue with a wire brush in an electric drill. There were also some plugs in some large holes, like those rubber...

I think the plug wasn't completely torqued down at time of replacement and that it had been unscrewing the whole time. There were no signs of anti-seize on the threads. I need to go back and look at the PO records, he had most of the work done at Ford dealerships, although would they install...

Crazy it had been unscrewing for 60k miles? Or that it had been that long since they were changed?

They were changed before I bought the van, so >60K miles. They are Autolite XP's

The poptop story. This top was removed for installation of a new CCV top and was advertised by member "MSD" here: http://www.sportsmobileforum.com/for...ing-22849.html I responded within 2 hours... I had considered different top options in the past, all of the new ones are super expensive, and...

Hi there Joeldc, I have been contemplating how to respond to your questions, the answer, the results are 'subjective' and 'hard to measure'. I would say the passenger area heat is similar to when the engine is running, although it isn't an automated system (of course neither is the OEM dash...

Dude, https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/e350-10ft-box-van.198271/ Looking forward to this, I think this is one of the best options for an economical rough road RV.

Says "Zarges" right on the front of the box, its a fairly common brand, maybe try that?

There is a used Sportsmobile pop top on the operating table....story, refurbishment process, and install to follow.

Hi there Joeldc, Thanks for asking, the front bumper was powder coated, the chrome was "blasted" by my powdercoater it is holding up well. The grill and lower valance was painted using an undercoating paint, Rustoleum I think. It isn't holding up as well, I just scuffed the grill up with some...
